The "Peace Meeting alluded to was
the one held on the 4th of July, in which
the leading politicians of the party par
ticipated and Gov. Seymour made
speech. There was also another "peace
meeting" held few days previous to
the outbreak, in the Cooper Institute at
which Andrews, the leader of the mob,
made violent speech-the same kind
of speech, as he Uniformed the officers
that he made to the mob when it was
raging through the streets and deluging
them with innocent blood. The Dis

The news. this tn morning Of. the sriqte ir
ton. 1t is only specific in three things,
namely: it originated in opposition to
the draft; it resulted in q limited loss of
life and property; and, as we infer, was
checked by assurances from Governor
Seymour that the Government would re-
move the cause of the discomfort. 9-
simultaneously there was a similar
riot in Hartford, Connecticut. Whether
it was strong enough to force conces-
! sions, as in New York, is not stated.
| These riots are the result Of the doc
t,.iae taught O. late By the Democratic
party, which IN Nelo York city has
strength enough to deyth Government.
In the rural districts it has no organiza-
tions which give it confidence. 1t is,
therefore, we imagine, only a logical dis
turbance, amounting to nothing so far as
the power at Washington is concerned
Whatever may be the result, it will be
of no benefit to US at present. 1t is
however, small degree of satisfaction
to know that there is not perfectly dead
sea of acquiescence at the North in the
miserable tyranny which now rules thai
part of the continent.
