Jeff. Davis the Champion of Liberty -Spir-
it Of the PEACE Leaders.

The Syracuse New York; Journal con-
tains communication from Mr.. o. r. Rocks,
Of that city, in which he gives the re-
suits of conversations held with some of the
leaders of the Peace Convention recently
assembled in that city. Oae prominent pub
lie speaker he heard addressing circle OF
sympathising followers as follows:
Il tell you, gentlemen, Jefferson Davis is
fighting the battles of the liberties of our
country, and he must and shall succeed.
told Gov. Seymour so this msrning, and he
said, Mr., am atcare pf il: Out tchat
can l do? The majority Of the people are
against me, and the Administration have the
sohoie army TO buck them Gentlemen, we
have got to stop this war. 10 must be stop
ped. And If Old Abe should finally be elect
ed, we have got TO raise counter revolution
aud overthrow the whole cursed abolition
horde"
Startled by these sentiments, he proceeded
to question certain of the more prominent
followers Of Vallandigham:
"First, asked, in a straightforward way, of
Senator Lawrence, Are you willing to gran.
the South its independence. provided that in
the proposed National Convention, its COM
missioners demand independence as their ulti-
mstum, after all honorable terms of peace,
based upon the reconstruction OF the whole
Union have failed?' Yes, most certainly;
was the reply. This rar must be stopped
The Feperal Government has 40 power 10 CO.
cree sovereign state against its viii. A
state has just right to secede, provided its
Constitutional rights are violated
He put the same question to more than a
dozen members OF the Peace Convention aud
received invariably the same answer. He
continues:
Ny reply to each of these gentlemen was,
Why did you not submit this question, which
involves the very vital point In the contest,
fairly and squarely to day in your speeches to
the convention, and thus test its wishes p
You declared in all your speeches that you
were in favor OF peace and Union, while you
are willing to accept peace and disunion.' To
this received but one honest answer. A del
egate from Buffalo, whose name did not
learn, said: IL could not be polite"
Mr.. Rocks says he submits these statements
without comment, being willing to testify be-
fore any court to their correctness, and hoping
that unconditional peace men viii stop and
think before they are willing to blindly adopt
such extreme and ruinous opinions as these.

The LIST Maine cavalry.

The Lewiston Journal learns from private
letter from the LIST Ne. Cavalry, dated near
James River, Aug. 10Th, that Z. P. Tobie, Jr.,
OF that city, was wounded in the elbow by a
spent ball on the 18th, in hard fight. His
arm, however, was not seriously injured, and
he Is now on duty again.
The regiment crossed the James on Sunday,
the i4th inst, and have been fighting nearly
ever since. The regiment has lost considers
bly,. Co. G HIS lost Vim. S. McClannin, killed
on the 10th, Sergt L. NJ. Robbins, wounded
and left In the hands of the enemy, and VIM
Maloon, wounded slightly in the head. Ma
loon was taken to City Point hospital, and
says he shall be flt for duty In two or three
weeks. Capt. Virgin was injured by his horse
being shot and falling on him on the 10th, and
has gone to City Point.
A later note, dated on the 22d, states that
the cavalry were on the Weldon Railroad.

What Vallandigham Saws,


81 think we shall put forward peace man.
(At the Chicago Convention.) Why not?-
Suppose we were to nominate war demo-
crat, pledged to prosecute the war, In what
respect would such ticket be better than the
Lincoln ticket? Ifthey want war man. they
have as good one as they could get in the
person of Sir. Lincoln.r
yallandigham is right. No party can do
better than take Mr.. Lincoln, and the people
will take him. This willy politician knows
very well that to place war democrat on
peace platform would be bad policy, and the
people would easily see that the object was to
gull them and get their votes.
Vallandigham Is consistent aud out spoken.
He has well defined policy and is willing TO
go before the people on peace platform with
peace candidate, and run the risk of de-
feat; for such defeat would be more honor
able than victory obtained by fraud aud de-
eeption. He goes for letting the people know
exactly what they are fighting for, believing,
or at least hoping that the voters entertain the
same views about JEFF. Davis aud the rebellion
that he does. True, he will be most sadly
disappointed in the result Of the election.
even should his policy be adopted BY the Chi
cago Convention, and thorough peace
man be put forward as their standard bearer
1t will not do for yallandgham, in times like
these, when the Union and the interests of
this great nation are at stake, to judge others
by himself Such standard will not do for
him noe, whatever it might do at a period
when the interests OF party and not OF coun-
try, were involved in the issue.
We can see no way clear for the copper
heads TO obtain place and power and become
masters of the "situstion," until the rebellion
is put down aud peace restored. After such
a consummation, so devoutly to be wished,
takes place, new issues may be raised, new
questions mooted and new measures adyocat-
ed and discussed, which may become the foun-
dations of new political organizations. But
even then parties will be exceedingly cautious
and wary not to admit as leaders into the or
CARNATIONS, the copperhesds of this hour, or
those who have opposed the government in its
struggle TO crush out this rebellion and Iu ish
traitors. They may be permitted to vote, but
that will be the extent of their political power
until they have shown unmistakable signs of
an honest aud sincere repentance. The name
of copperhead is destined to become the most
odious and revolving of any ever found on the
pages of American history. The people OF
the loyal States will support the government
in spite of ali the arts, sophisms and subterfu-
ges political demagogues, copperheads or trail
tors can conjure up. So let the Chicago can
didate be trotted out. No matter whether he
be war democrat on peace platform, a
peace democrat ON a war platform, or n
straight out and-out peace democrat on a
peace platform, one after Vallandigham's own
heart, he will be voted down by such an over
whelming majority that the political organi-
zation which put him in nomination, will never
rise again, or show its front TO loyal ard
patriotic people.

The object Of this Internal plot is too obyi-
Gus to be misunderstood. II contemplated a
iorcible resistance of the Government, and
10 case OF failure at the polls TO depose Mr..
Lincoln and elect "peace Democrat" In his
stead-a forcible attempt TO subvert the Gov
eminent and to place it in harmony with ifnot
under the control of the Confederate leaders.
But this is not all. In recent number OF
the New York World, in which It comments
upon the course Of the President In recogniz
ing the electoral votes of the seeded States
which comply with his reconstruction procls-
nation, as Louisiana aud Arkansas have done.
it INDUCES in the following incendiary Ian
guage:
And on behalf Of the Democratic party we take leave
to say, that II the Chicago omnee shall have n elect
ed by majority Of electoral from the oysi States
aud Mr. Lincoln and his supporters shall then
the result and him the election bv ear
rying out this longpreected and deePyad scheme Of
counting In the rottenborough votes the President elect
and the democratic party viii not aequieee but they
will Immediately proceed TO administer to the userper the
fate of usurpers and at whatever cost establish In the
chair Of the Chief Magistrate the hief Magistrate right
iny and lawfully chosen by the people 70 fill the same.
That IS to say, unless a Chicago candidate
professedly representing only section of the
country,is acknowledged, after due form Q
ceremony, Chief Magistrate OF the whole coun-
lry' a new civil war will be inaugurated by the
friends OF The World, aud "blood will flow up
on Northern soil" The facts we have advert
ed to, and the language we have quoted, all
point to this, and have this significance. The
enemies of the Government are growing bold
er, aud now that the rebellion in the south.
which they first warmed and fostered into be-
ing, gives so many tokens of approaching dis.
. solution. they seem resolved, upon the slight
est pretext, to organize fresh rebellion in the
North, with the purpose of crushing out of ex
istence the party now In power, and taking the
reins Of Government into their own hands.
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1864-05-24
1t is the duty oft hour, then, to Ia

II is the duty Of the hour, then, TO lay
aside all thought of anything other than
the perpetuity and unity of the nation,
to care for nothing only as incident to
this; to stop al no expenditure, to avoid
no sacrifice, that will insure this. We
should wake up TO a realization OF the
fact that no evil can be so great TO us as
a nation, as people. as freemen, and as
individuals, as the triumph of this re
bellion. With this crushed out, we can,
as a nation. carry any load, assume any
responsibility, which this, or any future
adversely. can lay upon us. Let no
thought OF anything but success now
enter the minds Of the people. II
the day Of triumph seems far removed
and uncertain, at times, let US grid our
selves more earnestly to tie work. Only
let us never admit the possibility Of fail
ure. In that, and only in that, does
there seem to be probability or posi-
bility of national woe.
