Applause The armies of the Union that are
in the front to-day were not summoned to
the field for any such degradation as that.
Loud cheering would not envy the fate
of that statesman, the leader of that party
who would, if they had the power, make a
lpeace which involved the separation Of these
United States, when that gallant army came
home to confront such traitors.
The meaning of the concluding sentence of

Now, and for the future, the only peace
that is possible, is the peace that is to be
conquered. [Cheering. 1t is peace to be
won and preserved by battalions, by skillful
generals, by wise statesmen, by the constant
steadfast, loyal people; that peace viii be

will give us a republic which our fathers in

wholly and forever free.
milwaukee and its Il N evs-r Mayor.
The people of Milwaukee have elected a
man by the name of Kirby, for Mayor We
have no quarrel with this Mr.. Kirby. Person
ally, his opinions on any subject, political or
otherwise, are not of much account; nor as
a man is he of much consequence in
any aspect Of the case. But when the peo-
Iple of Milwaukee elect such man as Kirby
for the Chief Magistrate of the city, they are
Justly held accountable for his principles,
however detestable they may be. In his
late inaugural address, Mr.. Kirby unburdens
his disloyalty in the following bar-room

ga weak and vacillating President is quite
as fatal to our prosperity in these times as a
dishonest one. His predecessor ran away
with the niger, and Abraham runs the
niger away. Which of the two has shown
the greater Weakness and brought the lar
ger amount of trouble upon us? I leave
you to judge. A few fanatics have dragged
the country into this bloody and unholy
strife. These fanatics do not all abide in
the South neither do they all live in the
/ North. -.
God and Grant are at work now, and this
makes us hope that rebellion and abolition
will fill common grave by November.
have always mourned that officials at Wash
ngton sent back Alexander H. Stevens,
when, under flag of truce, he implored us
to receive him within our lines He might
have borne the olive branch, and opened
the way to that glorious reunion, which all
Except the higher-laW abolitionists, so much
desire. As for the aboitionists, there is
no power i'll heaven to please them, for they
hate peace on earth
1t is a matter pretty well understood, that
the city Of Milwaukee can and does cast a
larger copperhead vote in proportion to its
population than any other city North Of Ma
son and Dixon's line, or even in any of the
border States in which there have been any
public demonstrations in favor of the Union.
While st. Louis, Baltimore and many other
cities in the states just emerging from
slavery, are now overwhelmingly Union,
Milwaukee still cIings lovingly to the post
error Of slavery. There is apparently moth
ing so grateful to the nasal organs of the
great mass Of the voting population of Mil
waukee as the smell of the niger in bon DIS.
Hence the new Mayor of that city, properly
reflected the sentiments of his copperhead
constituency in his inaugural.
It is not long since, that we saw in some
of the leading Milwaukee papers, items setting
forth the claims of that city for the location
of a naval depot for tho Northwest. A ma
val depot in Milwaukee,! 1t will probably
be a long time before the Government will
| place naval depot in a city rampant with
loyalty-where the peace copperheads
rule with scarce show of opposition At
the late election in Milwaukee, the few IN
ion men of the city did not show themselves
at the polls, apparently not. venturing to
stand in the way Of the almost countless
numbers of butternuts who rush to the vo-
ting places from the lager houses and the
cabbage plantations.
The METROPOLITAN Fair.
The great Metropolitan Sanitary Fair, held
in New York for the last three weeks, was
closed on Saturday last. The receipts from
all sources up to SATURDAY night amounted to

sum, there was large quantity of Goods,
fixtures &c, which is being disposed of this
week at auction AS % cents is charged
for admission to the auction, the
proceeds will probably not fall short of $50,

of the great Sanitary Fairs, yet held The
great Commercial Metropolis of the country
has done itself credit in this grand donation
to the cause Of the Union, through its sick
and wounded soldiers. Speaking Of the
close of the Fair, the New York Tribune
says: .u
sit is so far from having palled upon the
public, that we believe the regret at its ter
mination to be universal.
1t has been crusade of charity, and the
earnest feeling which pervaded the per-
fOrmance of minute details of it's multifari-
Gus duties has been like religious passion
The Fair was the outgrowth Of a profoundly
patriotic sympathy with the soldier, and
whatever aid it received from circumstances
was never essential, nor even important to
its development.
In reference to the Sword contest the
result of which was, 80, 290 votes for Gen.
Grant, and IA, 500 for Mcclellan, the Tribune
says: es zs s 1.
An evening paper yesterday stated that
Mrs. Grant was at the Fair, but was not
generally recognized. The paper further
states that she cast her vote ION the sword
question: for Gen. Mcclellan The public
Will be puzzled to decide whether this is mag
nanlmity or sarcasm. The presence of Mrs.
Mcclellan almost all the time at a table but

voting books has been widely noted, while
the persistent absence Of Mrs. Grant has
been equally observed. However the decis-
