LEARNING COOP MANNERS The At
lanta Commonwealth calls attention to the
fact that the Yankee papers are beginning
to call things by their right names. They
speak of President Davis, General Lee,
and often of the Government of the Con-
federate States. Such is one of the good
results of hard fighting. The word 'srebel," !"
though still current, is gradually being
dropped, and those big, black standing
heads of "The great Rebellion," under
which the New York papers commenced
and continued for long time the publica-
ton of war news, have long since been dis
carded. The entire contempt: Of the South
in which the war was begun BY the North,
and but for which it could never have had
a beginning, is fast giving way to respect.
full appreciation. Itis supposed by some
that even the 7th N. York Regiment would
now decline the work Of overrunning the
South and subjugating the rebellion single
handed if offered them-whereas at is
known that some time ago they clamored
in vain for the job.

A large meeting Of the Democracy Of
New York, held at Cooper Institute on the.

ton to the policy of the administration, as
hostile to the restoration Of the Union, sub.
versive to the Constitution and oppressive
to the people; and deneunoing the meas.
ures Of the last Congress as repugnant to
every principle Of Justice, and calculated.
to strengthen the Southern States and per-
manently establish the 50. o.called Confedera.
cy. And, also, declaring that the war, as
conducted BY the administration, has been
a failure Cloud applause), and that the i'm.
mense resources of men and money that
have been freely given by the people have.
been dissipated, without favorable results.
4th Resolued, That under these circum-
stances we declare for peace. (Great cheer.
ing.) This administration cannot conquer
the South if they would, and would not #
they could. Thus, the war proving unsuc.
cessful, we favor peace and conciliation as
