DAY OF Fasting AND PRAYKR.-The
President having recommended that the
4th day of August be observed as day
of fasting and prayer, Pishop Potter, Of
Pennsylvania, has issued an address to
the clergy and congregations under his
charge. The Bishop, in his address,
says.
"That our pact, as nation, has been
marked by acts of violence and rapacity to-
ward the weak, which must needs provoke
the anger of heaven. Our present is
Characterised by levity and presumptu-
Gus self-contidence; by want of calm
trust in God and the justice of our cause,
which i'll accord with our condition as
dependent beings, or with the enormous
sacrifice of life. and virtue, and properly
through which we are called to pass. VIZ
need to be excited to more abstinence in
pleasure, and all luxurious expense, and
to clear perception Of the great ends o
life We need to reach profounde
sense of the inefficiency Of all human
wisdom and strength, when forsaken b,
God. We need, by earnest repentance
and continued prayer, to invoke His pre-
senee and aid, who alone can deliver iron
sedition, privy conspiracy and rebellion
or restore US to that solid, abiding an,
righteous peace, for which we long. Un
less the Lord keep the city, the watch
man waketh but in vain"

The recent peace negotiations have in
fused fresh animation into the Radical
Peace Democracy. Vallandigham, the
escaped convict, is evidently "getting his
forces well in hand. I"
The Peace State Committee of New
York met on Thursday last, in New York
city. The Hon. H. G.. Onderdonk pre-
sided as Chairman, and ]. j. Van Allen,
of Schuyler county, acted as Secretary.
Among the gentlemen present we're the
Hon. d. W. Voorhees,, of Indiana; the
Hon. John NJ. Jaycox and Thomas E
GUN, ESQ.,, of Onondaga; Judge Onder-
donk, Of Queens; A Fralick, Of Herki
mer; Norman Matthews, of Oneida
county; Al Mills and Francis Brisdick,
of Oswego; Edmund Jones, of Kings;
and w. A. Lockwood.
After hearing the expsession of those
present in reference to the state of feel.
ing existing with the Democracy in their
respective localities, and after the trans
actioB of some other business, 1t was re.
solved that Mass Peace Convention be
held at the city of Syracuse on the 18th
day of August next, at IL o'clock noon.
Those present all agreed in the express
sion that the Democracy were united
upon the question OF peace; that none
other than a peace platform, with peace
men standing squarely upon it, can COM
mand the Democratic strength.
Messrs. Singleton and Voorhees, stated
that, with the Democracy of the West
especially, this stale of feeling is uniyer
sal and deep seated; that the war has
drained their quiet agricultural districts
OF its labor, and they fully realize the de
structive character Of the war. They ar,
