LIANT soldiers" who will be fighting their coun'
trv's battles next November in Virginia, and no
condemnation Of the Democratic votes and
yctocs of last Winter whereby their dlSlranchlse-
mcnt was pcrpetuatcd. The general attitude, as
defined by their Conventions resolves, OF our
State Democracy with regard to our great Ma
tional struggle may be fairly stated thus: they
are in favor Of the War, but opposed to any and
every measure that has been devised Tor It's vig'
orous and successful prosecution.
But what of the Woods and their :" Peace"
pnriy1 Feeble, equivocal and hnrtlcss as is
the Conventions support of the War 1t is still
direct defiance Of those who have been swaggcr-
inc for months that the Democracy must adopt
a Peace" platform or 90 under. Let US see,
then. how the "Pcacc" men take it, and what
they propose to do about il. Every one knows
that the Central Regency cares nothing for their
growls so long as it can profit by their votes.
Here, then is their Misunderstanding the leader
in the last Daily Nucs:
