ON TO RICHMOND.

NC Gu nOI IE1c( " LIE cry II WHICH tle
friends Of the Anaconda used tc,prptest,
but to the new watchword proceeding
from an entirely different class Of people
than those who through long months Of
inaction On the Potomac we're blamed for
disturbing the peaceful dreams Of the
peaceful commander. Another party has
taken up the cry Of on to Richmond,
and the cry has become d croak. What
aort Of visit they propose an illustrated
weekly before us has capita1ly set forth.
4 wide poster with the name " JEFF. Da-
Wis" just abovet the be11-pu1l. In the portal,
3 fat black hand on either Intel, looms q
pampercd and gorgeous darkey, who 1ooks
out and down upon q party Of five freshly
arrived strangers. The portliness Of John
Van Burcn, carpet-bag in hand, confrouas
the portly minion. Brooks Of the New
York Express, carrying his own baggage,
standsa little to one side. Behind come
two Of Fernandy's choicest roughs with q
peace offering Of liquors and cigars. Val
landigham brings up the rear. The whole
is the arrival Of the new "On to Rich
mond" party. John is evidently the
Spokesman, and the darkey has his cue, for
the legend is as follows:
Ccppcrhead Spokesman.--"B Be 60 kind a. to an
nouucc to President Davin that few Of his North
crn Friends wish to see him."
Pompey.-"De President desire me to cay dat
you are mistaken, Gemmen. He haven't got no
1ricndh &t de Noff; and when he wants any, he
won't choose 'cm emong de Pedoe Sae1ks.'

There are many true words spoken in jest,
and this picture is page Of solid argu-
ment. These Peace men know that they
have nothing to offer JEFF. Davis They
know that separation is all the terms that
will be listened to. They know a party
which sha1l arrive in Richmond to buy
back on any terms the Union as it was,
would be spurncd from the threshold. For
such mission delegation headed by Fer
nando Wood and Gov, Seymour, hanked By
Vallandigham and Sunset Cox, and tailed
of by Colorado Jewett and Dick Merrick
would come to sudden grief and dismissal.
They would be scarcely more safe, and
certainly no more successful than dele
cation of outspoken Abo1itionists, and war
men. There is no market at Richmond
for such commodity as the Copperheads
arc loudly hawking in Northern Legis-
laturos Even the JEFF. Davis organ in
this city is forced to admit that the tone Of
jeff. Davis message, and the whole argu-
ment Of the speeches Of leading rebels is
11nalterably against reunion On any terms.
Knowing this, as these fellows do, it is
time for honest and loyal men, especially
in the Northwest, to inquire what this
tulk Of peace means In other words,
looking again at the picture above referred
to, the question arises what have these fel.
lows at JEFF. Davis threshold got in their
carpet bags? j..
Let the country wake up to the fact that
the real terms Of Northern doughfaceism
are surrender Of the union-an abandon
mcnt of the Government Their actions
mean what they dare not put into words:
ave shall 60 to them, but they will not
return to us" They intend to knock at
the door for admission into the slave
holders Confederacy. They know and
are willing to meet the terms on which the
man-stealers at Richmond will consent to
that. But the North is not ready, and
Northern traitors who are plotting to com
pass it, are digging their own literal
graves. The only true national motto the
country must borrow from Massachusetts,
the blazon whose meaning has been stored
up for this age Of ours" Enc petit pEaei-
