Trylng 10 Inaugarate Cigll Var IN the


FIRING 70 Inauguratc Civil War IN the
North.
The Peace Democracy of the
North are doing sill in their power
10 bring about civil war in the
North They know that, unless they
do this, the Southern Confederacy viii
''succumb; and lift be possible, they
will inaugurate blood-shed in the loyal
States They willnot, however succeed
The sentiment of the Northern States
is too Overwhelmingly patriotic to adj
nit of such a calamity The Peace
men may howl and in some instances,
as in New York, where they have a
degraded population at there disposal,
they viii succeed in causing a riot /;
but there the matter viii end
At the late Democratic State Conven-
ton in Ohio, the friends Of Valfandig
ham attempted to get the endorsement
of that body to their revolutionary
schemes. they demanded that the
Great Convicted should be made a del
egate, and they came near carrying
their point; so near it, that on the
evening before the assembling Of the
Convention, it appeared so certain that
they would succeed that the cores
pendent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer
telegraphed
There is an immense feeling in favor of
placing Mr. Vallandigham on the ticket as
a delegate, and if he consents, It will doubt
less be done. If he is chosen as a delegate,
the Democracy Of Ohio will see that he at
tends the Chicago convention.
But Yallandigham was beaten, in a
drawn Sight, just four votes, out Of 426;
but here the matter will hardly end
The mandate has gone forth from jeff
Davis, and the Peace faction must obey.
'1naugurate civil war in the North,
or we are lost" says the rebel presi-
dent I'VE are your humble slaves {;
you have but to command, and we
obey" respond the copperheads; and
it is, we believe, the intention of the par
ty in the Dayton district, to appoint the
traitor exile as a delegate to the Chica-
90 convention; and thus, if possible,
cause a collision with the general gov
eminent
Against such a proceeding the war
Democratic papers protest with great
earnestness. The Chicago Post, edited
by J. w. Sheehan, who for long time
published Senator Douglass special or
gan, says:
1t is to be hoped that in the action Of the
Ohio Convention, q ose fanatical peace men
who want to precipitate the Democratic par
~ into another rebellion viii see that all
efforts in that direction viii fail. If Mr.. Val
landigham should come to Chicago 10 attend
the Democratic convention rs a delegate, or
in any other capacity, and the government
should direct his arrest, there will not be
dozen men in that cOnvention-not one
hundred in Chicago-who viii take up
arms and use them to prevent his being
taken by the officers commanded to do so.
We know that other opinions prevail; we
know that irresponsible fanatics, in their
weekly meetings in secret session, talk
largely of the numbers who will rally at
the first signal; but these large bodies OF de-
tcrmined Democrats are men of buckram,
and there Is not six of the entire contra
ternity in this State who would march
within gunshot Of the place Of rescue, if
that rescue was to be accomplished against
Federal bayOnets. The silly stories pub
lished from day TO day in the Chicago or
gan Of bloodshed, as TO the purpose of the
Democrats Of Chicago to place themselves
in armed opposition to the civil or military
officers Of the law, or TO engage in any
riotOus and disorderly and illegal acts Of
violence, because somebody else may fall
INTO the clutches of the law, are the gro5sCst
misrepresentation. The Democracy o.
Chicago are now, as they have ever been,
peaceful, law-abiding men they engage
in no riots at anybody's bidding; and have
no purpose or intention now or al any other
time to take up arms against the govern
ment."
The peace faction in tie Northern
States has become so contemplate that
it is powerless; it will not get one-lifth
of the votes of that section, even though
it gets control Of the Chicago Conven-
ton, which is highly probable, and has
the prestige of regularity
