The Democratic ssPeacev Piasf sfor

The Democratic ''Peace" Platform.
The Vallandigham persuasion of Obi,
Democrats have just issued, through
their State Committees, "TAe Democrat,
Address to the People of Ohio" which
says: 49,. ''
"That We regard the existing fratrici
dal war Of the North and Northwes,
upon the South to be wholly uuconstitu
tlonal, as well as fruitless, wasteful, cruel
and ruinous to both sections of the Uni.
ted States.
That the Democracy Of the State of
Ohio have heard with disnsy tho doc.
tr'nes OF its advocates, and shrink with
horror from the sanguinary scenes which
have deluged the land, by tho hands of
brethren 10 brothers blood, That manv
democrats were themselves surprised
INTO unqualified support at the beginning:
out that long since, seeing their consti.
tut'onal mistake, and realizing the utter
hopelessness Of coercion, they have now
concluded to made what amends thew
could, organizing themselves into one
compact, rugged, unflinching peace par.
ty, Tor stopping the war on any terms
whatever, that would be fair between
man and man. They are distinctly for
peace and peaceabie separation; for peace
and mutual recognition, and thoy will
positively and unanimously resist, BY all
suitable means, the further destruction ,
Of property. aud Of life in such a cause !,
They take It for granted that each sec. |
tlon IS united on its policy, and that the )
border States. can hereafter decide fnr :
. fair settlement Of the partnership &C )
counts, and the freedom Of the Mississip. l
pi river. As for border wars, after the |,
oceans of bloodshed for three years past,
We pronounce them impossible" !"
Consistently with the foregoing, they
proclaim their hatred Of War Democrats, |
with all their works and ways. OF the
policy Of the peace party running = Union
General for President, they forcibly say:
"These advisers upon some general
aud superficial notion that all wars are
popular, and military leaders the winning
cards, while peace snd Christianity are
unpopular, and statesmen not likely 10 be
elected Presidents, have been limiting at
The canvass of couple Of Major Generals !
Who claim to be Democrats, and under
certain circumstances talk respectfully Of
the Constitution. To nontsote either
Grant or Mc Clcllan rould be suicidal.-l
1t must bs. preceded by the wholesale
apostacy from the ground covered by the
Kentucky and Virginia resolutions, and
70 long hitherto che avowed creed of the

its only solid foundation. Let rs beware
of such contradiction, for the sole result
of it will bo Waterloo defeat. No .uch
