THE "PEACE PARITY

svmpathizcr with the Shareholders Rebellion
every voter disloyal to our Government and de-
sirous of the triumph of the Rebels. Every
individual among us who sees and hears can
bear witness to this truth. Mind, we do not
say that all who contributed to that triumph are
disloyal or in sympathy with the Rebellion; for
we know that many thousands are not: but
every clector of our State whose heart is on the
side of jeff Davis in our great struggle,
in utter disregard of all former party affiliations
worked and voted for Seymour & Co., conf
IDENTIFY expecting thereby to aid the Rebels 10
triumph either in the Union or orer it. Few or
none of them desired disuni0n per Sc; but thou
sands of them were willing that Peace should
be made on that basis calculating that this
would crush the Federal Administration and ITS
supporters and that then a new Union could
be cooked up between tho triumphant slave
holders in the South and the triumphant PTo-
Slavery party in the North, which would recon
eile the former 10 Union by making every State
virtually Slave State, suppressng all Anti
Slavery uttcrance or agitation in any part OF the
country, and binding the North hand and foot
to the car Of the cxuting, aggressive Slave
Power. Such were tho grounds or which
large portion of the Democratic leaders were
last November rcsgncd-as Lord Lyons re-
ported in his dispatch TO Earl Russell-to have
Peace negotiated on the basis of Dsunion.
But still the question Of boundaries remained;
q. ,rnvaI fperpnrollp Tho
Rebels were no, willing TO make any Peace,
cyen though their independence were conceded
which did not give them West Virginia. Ken
tucky, and East Tcnncssee-cach Of them far
more LOYAL to the Union than is the City of
New-York. They insisted on boundary which
would nearly cut in two all of tho Union that
would be left TO us-that would wrest from Us
the greater part Of the Baltimore and ono
Rairoad-,hat would speedily constrain the
larger portion Of the Grca, West 70 sue for ad-
mission into their Confederacy. Even Soy
mourism was not ready for this; and The party
