Tie Democratic Party for Peace
On any Terms,

On any Terms.
We would call the attention Of our
readers To the resolutions IN another col
umn passed by the Democratic District
Convention on last Friday, and let them
also make note OF thoin that upon
that platform, a. NJ. JACKSON. who de-
clare, in favor of an unconditional peace,
wns nominated bs one OF the Delegates
to the Chicago Convention. These
resolutions are sirong--suflicicntly strong
20 crcnto stencil in the noslrils of all
loynl.hcnrtcd men. The fourth rcsolu.
lion presents as clear u case Of the doc
trinc of States Rights that is, the right
of any State to ubsolvc itself at pleasure
from the GcncrHl Goycrnmcnt--as JuN
e. CALHous In hi. palmiest days could
wish for. The fllh aud last resolution
declares that 1--WE nrc opposed 10 the
prosecution of tho present war" aud
"demnrd the immediate Inauguration Of
pcaccablc meHus 10 obtain an honorable
tttAltlNtnNs " hNAulu hl
settlement" is good, hut that is merely
put IN for couya nienco. Tho result OF
their teachings would give their masters
in the South very honorable settlement
and would Disgrace the Northern people
for all coming generations. AZ for
"uusting to God aud the good sense ofo
irc" and intelligent people for the con.
sequences that may result thercfrom,'
ia mere clap-trap. for the only possible
thing they have left TO trust in lies in the
success of the arms of their rebel allies.
And then we have been repeatedly told
by them during tho past two years that
our liberties have been destroyed, ard
thatwe were the minions of dcspotic
government, which, II true. leaves no
possible hope OF trusting TO the good
s,use of free and Intelligent people, -
This, then, is contradiction oflheir own
terms.
But there is no mis,aking the fact that
the leading Democrats-wc cali them
Democrats for convcnienco--aro In favor
of On unconditional peace, They declare
Il IN street discussions, in their Offices, in
their shops, in their public speeches, and
In their newspapers. Let the soldiers
IN the field remember this and mark the
men who are talking thus. Do these

mies aud the immediate recognition Of
the ' Southern Coniederacy. Do they
not know that without first suhduing tho
rebellion the only kind Of peace attainu'
bic at the prcsen, isN DisuNion peace
Do they not know that it is not possible
under the present circumstances 10 make
Union peaee--that tina, can not be done
until our armies have won more victories
and occupied more OF the territory In
yolyed1 When A. nj, JACKSON declares
for an unconditional peace he virtually
acknowledged that he was in favor o
disunien. His cry is "s,op this wat" |
the Administration should shoulder The
responsibility oftelhug JErF. DAVIS ,hu
the policy of the peace men had prevail
