The New York Herald has been quo
ted from largely and approvingly by the
Peace Democrats of this part of the
country. Its articles against President
Lincoln and its ridicule of Secretary
Welles they have rolled under their
tongues as a sweet morsel The Herald
is the organ of the McKeon branch of
the New York Democracy. By its po-
sition it has been enabled to obtain views
behind the Democratic scenes In for
mer times it associated with, and advo-
Gated the claims of, the two Woods, and
therefore is well qualified to discuss their
aims and intentions. The Herald
charges that they and their associates
mediate violence and political anarchy
We give its own words:
Scheming politicians of the antecedents
associations and sympathies of the Hon.
Fernando and the Hon. Ben Wood, can
not be disposed of as public benefactors
in publishing a newspaper in support of
their peculiar notions of peace at the
expense of n continual drain from their
pockets Nor are they of that class of
men who, in order to gain even an ephe-
neral notoriety, will throw their money
away. They sow their seed with the ex-
pectation of reaping harvest. The
conclusion, then, is irresistibly forced
upon us that, as their political hereses
can result only in defeat through peace
able means, they are parties to fearful
conspiracy which looks to success
through scenes of revolutionary disor-
ders, bloodshed and confusion
They profess painful solicitude con-
corning the dangers of the States from
federal usurpations; but, under the finn
sy disguise of State sovereignty, they
are leading their credulous followers on
the high road to secession and rebellion.
Assuming the mantle of Jefferson, these
peace men of the NelCS preach to us the
dOgmas of the Hartford Convention. and
of Theodore Dwight, its secretary and
defensive historian The State right,
and federal aggressions which we're tn,
burden and the song Of that Convention
in the midst of the war of 1912, ant
after the national capital had been seizet
and despoiled by the enemy, are now
in the midst of this terrible war, eehoet
by these Peace Democrats of the Ne'oS
with all the modern Improvements de
rived from South Carolina.
The Nelos and the Day BoOk-bott
we understand, from the same Office
are largely copied from by the Peace OIL
gans of the West. We know but littl
about them, but are assured that til
Herald understands them thoroughly
and knows them altogether. Nor do W
doubt that the revolutionary disorders
predicted by the Herald will be resorte
to by them, if all other means fail t
place them in power How can W
doubt it, in the face of the July riots
New York, and the repeated disturbal
ces, including the murder of soldier
near Paris, Illinois? All these thing
show the training of the organization
and foreshadow the designs of its lea
ers
Those who mediate evil are alwa,
more active than those who think
evil Catlines sleep little and seldo
tire. 1t becomes the people, therefor
to stand firm, and keep watchful. TIL,
should tolerate no dissensions in the
own ranks. The Union party, in part
ular, ought to act prudently but frml
II must not be so foolish as to fritz
away its strength in chickering's as to t
claims of rival political aspirants.
