Progress Peace Principles
The Peace Party of the country must elevate their
standards everywhere Fhe result OF the recent cleo
tions has clearly manifested that large portion OF the
people is in favor of Immediate atCn of hestities
and the declaration of an armstice, that passion may
have time to COO! and reason may once more lift her
voice The election in the glorious little State of New
Jersey shows the potentaiy Of the Peace principle
there The reflections in Bergen of the gallant Thorn
Dunn English, and the unfaltering Daer, glori-
oas triumphs of the Peace principle. Old Somerset
sends her Senator Joshua Dougherty-who from the
first has been the stern opponent Of the and the ad
ministration-and the brave Gary to the Assembly,
Who for his bold deeLcs of the prncp of constitu
tiona liberty, and his manly opposition to Adolf
ton war, sent to the damp classmates of Fort La
ayete. Burlington sends jarrett Stokes to the As
semby, an advocate for peace and the Union and the
Constitution as our fathers made them Union sends
Jenkins to the Senate, where his voics and influence
will be heard in behalf of peace and in opposition to
continuance of war, controlled and guided by an insane
snatcism Monmouth sends as her Senator Henry s.
Little who, as the representative OF patriotic constitu
ency will urge that look to something beyond
continued slaughter and the exhaustive influences of
debt as means of restoring the Union and re-esab-
fishing the Constitution There is large and ehec.
tive majority for the principles of the peace party in the
Legislature and we look forward with interest to the
platform of principles they will enuncate In Pennsy
Vana large ority of the quarter of million voters
who cast their ballots for Woodward were Peace Dem
ocrats, and 10 man who mingled with the crowd that
gathered at their meetings could mistake the telling
were hailed with most enthusiastic cheering, and all re-
ference to such War Democrats Messrs. Butler Dix
Cochrane, Brady ct id genus of pensioners upon
the patronage OF the Administration was received with
groans and denuncations So was it in Ohio and In
diana. The great West is tired of war; and can see
nothing in lis continued prosecution, but ruin and DESC
aton The rapid inpoverishment of the West to feed
the rapacous cormorants of New England making the
West "hewers of wood and drawers of water" to the
East, as the South were SO oug before this war COM
menced is fast causing the scales to drop from eyes
hitherto blinded 1t only the most stupendous ex
ertons and by frauds that should make their perpetra
tors hide their heads in very shame that the Admins
ration was enabled to prevent the legitimate voice OF
the people from being heard. All the Peace Democra
cy want throughout the country perfect organization
and distinct and unequivocal platform. Let every
township organize its clubs procaim its platform and
register its advocates Let Lecture Associations be
organized everywhere and the leading advocates of pure
Democratic principles be invited to speak Remember
that forcible thinker has said "a despotic Govern
ment is inverted cone resting upon point and liza
able to be teppled down by the smallest movement
The principle Of the Abolition oligarchy u.s. that the
people should be deauled of the elective franchise that
they may more easily defraud ITEM of everything else
Organize if for nothing ele to defend the purity of the
ballot
