In Memoriam.

What the Great Democrat, Douglas, said
at the outbreak of the war has peculiar sig
nifcance now. We commend his weighty
testimony to Democrats of the present
hour:
''Ihe STARE question is a mere excuse Tile
election Of Li,tcotn IS a mere protect. The
present secession movement Is the result of
an enormous conspiracy, formed more than
a year since-formed by leaders in the South
ern Confederacy more than twelve months
ago. The conspiracy Is no1o kaora armies
have been raised, war is levied to accom-
plish 1t. Every man must be for the Uni
ted States or against it. There can be no
neutrdls an this ,car.. only patriots and
traitors

Very Obliging Indeed.

At one of the meetings in Chicago during
the sitting of the convention, an Irishman
named Mahoney delivered speech in front
of the Sherman House in which he used the
following language Il want peace, and l
would go to the South and offer them the
Constitution as it was, altered and modified
to suit themI'
American citizens, what do you think of
this lrishman's proposition What do you
think the South and this Irishman would
propose? The cry is no longer ''the Con-
stiturion as it is, but the Costitution sal
tered to suit the South

committee.

The Peace sardns who met at Chicago. re-
Gently, promulgated the following resolve:
Justice, humanity, liberty and the pub
lie welfare demand that immediate efforts he
made for a cessation of no ,tiiities to the end
that at the earliest practical lie mOment,re ce
may be restored on the basis of the Federal
Union Of the States.
As soon as this beheSt was made known.
Gen. Sherman ha>tened to bring about the
much desired wish of these uise men by at
tacking the rebel Gen Hood at East Point,
cutting his army in two, and occupying the
city of Atlanta Whether this mode of
procedure was in precise keeping with the
traitorous spirit of the Copperhead Conven-
ton which nom mated Mcclellan and Pen
d.eton, we will net affirm but we opine that
Gen. Sherman has adopted much surer
and speedier way of bringing about that
ace which the people desire to see estab-
lished, than that pursued by the Chicago sa-
vans. Surely, Grant, Sherman, Farragut
& Co are much better peace promulgators
than these Copperhead politicians. The
first named are practical men--the latter
mere pretenders.
