PeaceI Peace! Petitions for Pence

Peace.
We End the following in the Har-

ssEoR PEACE.
"PetitiOns are circulating through
out this county in favor of holding a
National Convention, to lie represent-
cd by delegates from alrthe Statss of
the Union, for the purpose of settling
our present national difficulties, and
stopping the effusion of fraternal
blood. No reasonable man can be
opposed to such a humane, philanthro;
pic and patriot measure, In many
quarters these petitions are receiving
large numbers of signatures, showing
the movement TO be popular one"
This movement in Pennsylvania is
worthy of imitation in the West. In
every town and in every neigbbor-
hood of the Northwest peace petitions
should be circulated. Let the people
ask for an armistice and for the meet
ing or National Convention to settle
our present difficulties. Nearly every
body prefers that to the continuance
of the war. There is no doubt, if the
matter is pressed, that not less than
one million Of signatures, men and
women, could be obtained in the North
west in sixty days. Letit be circula-
ted, and let the Administration know
the real sentiments of the people
The advocates of the prosecution Of
the war by means of drafts-by means
of forcing people to fight againsttheir
will--by means of immense taxes and
general ruin and bankruptcy-are in
small minority, minority daily
growing less, We believe that to-day
twenty thousand out of the twenty.
five thousand voters of Cincinnati are
for stopping the war, and for peaceful
negotiations, to effect the reunion o.
the States.-[ Cincinnati Eng.

MASS MEETING
8ss OF THs
DEMOCRAC Y
HARRISON COUNTY,!
There will De q MASS MEETING Of the
Democracy held IN GADIz, on
sATURDAY, MARCH 2, ISG3,

II mere VIII 0e q MdOo NJ EE INV VI INC
Democracy held IN GADlz, on
SATURDAY, MARCH 2. IsG3,
ALTO o'clock, A, NJ, for the purpose o.
giving expression TO the honest convictions
of the Democratic party Of Harrison County.
Wa will not meet 10 express our opinions
through the discOlOred medium o. SassioH
prejudice or individual interest. Nor will
ambition or desire Of place have any influ>
ence upon our deliberations. No, We meet
TO reiterate our attschRent to principle; to
show that the Democracy have made for
themselves, during the last eighteen months,
an ever living reputation. Never did so large
a party show q constancy so uTbending, a
love ol country 50 disinterssted, patience
under all manner OF persecution and tyranny,
SO exalted. In The same spirit we will con
tinue, ever manitesting an ulalterable love
forthe principles to which we have been so
long attached.
We are now living in a time OF the greatest
trouble. Our rulers are constantly engaged
in projects Of the most maignsnt kind
Their every act only teRds TO bring about a
more disturbed state ef society. II the peo.
Die do not arrest them in their wicked and
st1nman schemes, inevitable and everlasting
ruin to the unity of the nation will be the
consequence.
The object is to reconcile and copciliate a
people deeply exasperated on account OF APP
pretended dangers. To do this our rulers
proceed and commit all those acts which
have tendency to make those people feel
that their apprehensions were we'll founded.
Amidst all this madness, this designed
wickedness, attended with so much tcrror~
ism, so much usurp1 ion AMI tyranny, and
also at d time when our personal liberties
were insecure, when submission to arbitrary
rule or imprisonment was the only alternate
when enemies in disguise were denomtGated ed
patriots, and true and lofty patriotism de
nominated treason; amidst all this and du
ring this time, the Democracy remained firm
and mistaken, unalterably devoted to the
best interests Of their country.
The Democracy may now be likened to q
stout and strong ship left on dry land, un-
harmed, after mighty and destructive del
uge had swept over the land. The deluge
has only proven the ship to be capable o
enduring all the hardships incident to the
most stormy voyage. The great work which
the Democracy have to do, is to defend the
noble and just cause Of liberty.
The means by which we will do it, will be
n steady firmness, tempered with wisdom
and prudence determined courage such as
will enable us to do what we see to be right
and $ manly resistance to all encroachnents
upon our liberties.
We will demand the instituting OF law,
such as will command the voluntary respect
OF the governed. We shall never assist II
compelling the entire people Of any State OF
States to obey laws through constraint. The
laws will have to be such as to lead them tc
obey from inclination. All who approve o
these views are requested to meet with US

much Tor live sheep by about &c p b, and
do not appear anxious to buy at that There
is also decline in pelts, and some good

Ttis expected that the commencement ol
