The Duty OF peace Democrats.

No matter what the feelings of Democrats on
the Presidential question, whether they support
General Mcclellan or stand aloot from the con
test, still they have duty to their party and TO
their country TO perform, and that is, to give a
warm aud vigorous support to the State. Con
gressional and Legislative nominees OF the cOun-
try il. the different Sthes of the Union.
At the late election in Maine. the Democratic
yOtef ell tar short OF that which it ought 10 have
polled Under the feeling caused by the repud
alton of the Chicago platform. five thousand
Democrats absented themselves from the polls
This was not as it should have been. The acts
Of man. in opposition TO mis- party, even though
he has been trusted leader, should not be visited
upon the heads OF other candidates, but they
should receive true and az cordial a support as
if no such event had occurred
While the News will support. with unhagging
zeal the nominations, State, District and Coun-
ty OF the Democratic party, it has the right, We
think, to urge all Peace men to the same course
In some OF the States the absence of few men
from the polls may give the State over TO the
tender mercies of abolitiOnism-may defeat Dem
ocratic members of Congress- or fail to defeat
those who Join in the war cry, and who will vote
the last dollar i'm the Treasury for the last man
to be conscripted. in order TO carry on the war.
4 single Democratic absentee from the polls may
lose the Democracy Member of Congress or an
Assembly District.
To support the men nominated on the ticket,
where the candidate himself does no subs equent
act to forfeit that support. is duty alike de
manded by party fealty and by the best interests
of the country. If Democratic principles are
worth anything, they are worth this-ii the
country is worth preserving, it is worth this Ell
fort
The duty Of Democrats in this hour of our
country sore need is TO support the tickets reg
ularly nominated-State, Congressional, Legs
lative Judicial or other officers. When peace
comes the men elected to Congress will have a
voice in saying how it Is to be made, and what
its conditions. Until that is done, the State
Executive has much to say in preserving the per
sOnal liberty OF the citizen-the Legislature in
making laws to protect him-the Judiciary III
be faithfully executed. Every argument is III
favor of this course of acton-none against il

There are too many old battle worn regiments

on US to consolidate these now worn down regi
