contrary. They contain the folio wing words
"And whereas certain provisions of the
act passed by the Parliament ofGreat Britain,
for the apprehension of certain offenders, have
been found inconvenient in practice in this
province, and more especially that provision
which requires that before any such offender
as aforesaid shall be arrested, q warrant shall

WAR AND PEACE DEMOCRACY.
(Frolu The Cincinnati Enquirer)

Il believe that there are bu: two al
ternatives, and these are, either an ac-
knowlcdgement Of the independence of
the Sou.h, as an independent nation. or
their complete extermination as q peo-
pie; and Of these alternatives. | prefer
the former."- (Speech Of Mr.. Long.
"It Is important that the public fee
ling should be trained to such invinci-
bic determination, that the result of
no battle can be triumph for the peace
party."-(Nev York World.
We present above two extracts, to
the sentiment Of which. we invite par
ticular attention The first is from the
speech of our Representative in Con-
gress, Mr.. Long, the last from a recent
editorial in The World newspaper Of
N. Y. The speech Of Mr.. Long has
been universally accepted by the peace
men of the West, as true exposition
of their sentiments: The W orld is the
accredited organ Of the War Democra.

In these the two parties may look each
other fairly in the face. In re
spect to the interests Of the coun-
try, it's present and future well-being,
the rights of the people and the pre-
servation Of those political franchises
which they have hitherto enjoyed un
Ger the Constitution, it will hardly be
denied thac the great and paramount
issue now before the people; the one il
| which all others are comparatively in
