As Lincoln wants peace on his own terms.
so we also want peace on ours, and the terms
mutually exclude and destroy each other. 1t
is not, therefore, the same peace we desire;
and the word itself, banded about in this
way, loses all meaning and ssignifes literally
nothing at all. 1t has become a hateful icord,
and should be left exclusively to the use Of
buffalo orators in neighboring State, if any
of that sort still drivel and snivel. Let us
get rid of the whole vile cant, and say at once
WE ARE FOR WAR, AND NOTHING
BUT WAR, until, as Davis is said to have
said, the last of this generation falls in his
tracks," and then that we mean to pass it to
the next as an inheritance. 1t is for those
who have unjustly and wontonly invaded our
country to offer us peace and when they do,
they will still offer in vain until their armed
men are withdrawn from the sod of these
Confederate States, and the felon flag of stripes
is HAULED DOWN from every fort within
our borders. After that it will be time
enough to pirate about peace. Now, the very
word is nonsense.-Richmond Examiner.

WHAT NExr?-The Democratic Press
speaks of the good old days of the Democ-
racy," when California mines yielded golden
nuggets in plenty. The d-emented fool
wishes to make the intelligent Broom Rang
ers believe that if Mcclellan is elected

this State as lies in Corperhead paper

A DIscovERY.-The London Times has dis
covered that the so-called Democratic plat
form and the Union platform are substanti-
ally alike. except that one of them is upside
down. They are both for peace and both for
the Union. The former is for peace first
and the Union afterwards; the latter is for
the Union first and peace afterwards 1t
concludes that if peace comes first the Union
will not come at all. just so the Secession
lists think, and the Democrats are their pli-
ant servants. Of course the London Times
prefers the peace first. 1t is a novel coali-
ton, that of the London Times and some of
our Irish citizens together for the
same set of aristocrats, to destroy the Gov
ernment that affords home for all who seek
Re0istey.

WHAT is A CoPPERAEAD?-He is not a
Democrat, but a miserable thief who has
stolen the Democratic name as covering for
his villanies. He is a Shiny reptile whose
affnities are with the original Serpent of the

breath is full of poison and contagion. Why
his accursed presence is tolerated on earth IS
marvel and mystery which no finite

As the flags over the Copperhead stand
hung quietly by the stats, Skimp remarked
that they were ashamed to wave. Later in
the evening they did wave, and Skimp's
attention was called to it. He replied :

Copperhead Testimony as to ..Democratic,
Virtue.

The Democratic Press of yesterday, speak
ing of the Union demonstration in San Fran
cisco on Saturday night says:
Many men in the procession, who were
bard up for little cash. were hired to march
in the line. They will all vote for Mcclellan.
Large numbers were offered from IS to $50
to march in the procession-ma of them
went; but they will vote right in November
The abolition party of San Francisco is not
the first political party which has been eyre
giously sold out in the same manner. 1t is
a species of political strategy that is very
telling"
Surprising the Press to tell the truth, its
assertion only serves to confirm an impress
sion we have long entertained, viz: that
many of those who will vote for Mcclellan
are SO devoid of principle that, for small
sum of money, they will hire themselves out
to do an act which they themselves pronounce
mean. Further, the Press says of the demon
stration:
The gaudy pageant which insulted true
patriotism, and dcsecrated the streets of this
noble city on Saturday evening last must
have excited in the heart of every intelligent,
consistent advocate of civil liberty, thoughts
that burn with all the Indignation inspired
by the history OF imperial pomp aud oppres-
sion in ages past"
ct. according to the Press, virtuous and
patriotic Mcclellan men, for the paltrv sum
of five dollars per head, hired themselves out
to 9 insult true patriotism" and "excite
indignation in the heart of every intelligent
advocate Of civil liberty" Mind you, reader,
thisis Copperhead testimony to Democrats"
virtue. 1t shows exactly what those who
know Of whom they speak. say of each other.
If McClellanites will do these things in the
wet season what will they do in the dry p
IT. as the Press says, they can be hired for
the paltry sum of five dollars each to insult
true patriotism" and "exeite indignation in

of infamy may they net be hired to perform
for $40 or $50 each? Finally, if the Nc

them to be, can the people afford to allow
them to obtain power in the nation? Is not

Why Is Ir.-A Copperhead orator wanted
to know, the other evening, says the Virginia
Enterprise, why Democrats were regarded
with suspicion by the Union party. We
could explain, if necessary; but the suspicion,
for some reason, follows them elsewhere A
German travelling out West was robbed of one
thousand dollars in gold, which he was
carrying with him to buy farm. Three
vilainous looking individuals in the second
class car were arrested on suspicion and
searched. but they proved to be simply dele

Civil war In Ohio.

Among ths infamous fslsehoods employ
ed BY thsRepublicans in the last campaign,
was the assertion that Mr. VAILANDIGHAM' $
election would cause civil war in Ohio
This threatened danger deferred great
many weak minded and timid men from
voting the Democratic ticket No one
was more con. picuous in the dissemination
Of this lie, than BRouoH himself Mr..
VALLAHDlsHAM was beaten, and in the first
months Of BRoUGH's administration he sd-
dressed the Volunteer Militia of Ohio at
Camp Dsnnison. In the course Of his inso-
lent and incendiary speech, be said ;
Union men must fight rebels both North
and South" Who did he mean by reb-
els North ? He meant the -lS7 900 patri-
ots, who voted for the Democratic States
man VALLANpIoHAM, and against john
BRouoH. These are the "rebels" whom
the National Guard "mEGt fight" This
is civil war. Mr.. VALLAEDIoAAM was bea-
ten but the catastrophe which was threat
Sned in case Of bis election, is to be precip-
itatsd upon the people nevertheless. We
ask of Republicans If they are ready for
the conflict which BrOugh is SO eager to
begin ? Are you willing to trust your
possessions. your lives, and all that yOu
hold dear. to the dread contingencies Of
such strife7 Is every Republican to be-
come the deadly foe Of every Democrat !
Are thsy to murder each other when they
meet Is the torch to do It's desOlating

ready to cry'Havoo ~ and involve this

We have two reports Of another fight
between Banks and the rebels. One ae-
count says TINT he suffered heavily and
ordered thirteen guuboats and transports tc
be destroyed, to keep them from falling in,
to hands Of the enemy. Another account
assigns heavy loss and disaster to the
Confederates. This news is not very def
mite or satisfactory, but tits all that We
have at this date.
