The Result.

The Peace Democracy are becoming
bolder and bolder. 1t is not uncommon
now to hear them openly advocate peace
through recognition Of tho rebel Govern.
ment. What would such a peace bring
about? Let every man give this serious
consideration.
Is there any one so insane as to suppose
that after the doctrine Of Secession is re-
cogpized that the balance of the States
would hold together year? The North
western States would be cut off from mar
ket by the way of the Mississippi and some
of them would probably unite with the
South. The Pacific States would form a
confederacy of their own, and the Eastern
another. The National debt would be wiped
out--the currency would be worthless, for
which one Of the Governments would re-
deem it? Pensions and pay would 70 the

The only hope Ohio has is in tho main

heavy, but they are srifes compared to the
untold horrors Of anarchy and military des-
potism. Look at Kentucky-look at Mis-
souri,. There are divisions there two Gov
ernments are striving for supremacy, and
in those blasted fields, ruined towns, home-
less women and children, and murdered
men, the result may be seen. Look at Mex
leo. In "a foreign despot, supported by
foreign bayonets, may be seen the iegiti-

The UIt'matans OF the soutb.

>, The Grand Rapids Eagle relates thar Mr.
holcombe, one OF the Niagara Falls bopu,
rebel commissioners, in conversation with
q leading clergyman ofGrand Rapids who
used to be in college with him. ernressed
himself a. follows, showing cescIusivelv
that he occupies the same position JeH.
Davis dses:---"H "Holcombe positively assert
ed that the South did not want peace. and
Tould not listen to the fantest intimation Of
peace, except upon terms recognizing their
absolute independence and Sovereignty.
with all the territory they originally claim
ed; He said the rebels could and would
hght twenty years longer before accepting
other or less terms than these. He averred
the Southern people we're not fighting for
slavery, and cared nothing about it; that
they would relinquish it in moment If so
usibg would advance their cause; that whas
tney we're lighting for was independence
an9 separate sovereignty, pure and simple,
and this they would have, or else tbey must
be exterminated 81
Our friend questioned him closely and
repeatedly if there was not some possible
way 10 bring about peace; and he was an
swered that there could be no peace upen
the basis OF an reconstruction of the Union
that was altogether out of the question.
Whatever might be said or had been said
for political effect, the Southern States
would never again unite with the Northern
States on any terms. The rebels had an.
nounced. in the beginning, that the separa-
tion was final, and they meant precisely
what they said, and would either die or car.
ry this point. ...-...
Mr.. Holcombe was at great pains to
create the distinct impression that sla-
very was not the cause or object Of the
war. but only the convenient pretext for
getting up a revolt; that the real cause and
tionality. and nothing else: and that no
peace, or truce, or coupr6mise was possible
that did not grant the rebels independence
and separate sovereignty; and that, what
,ver political management could do in the
North to embarrass the Government was
Iostered and encouraged by the rebel lead
ers because it aided them more or less in
obtaining their ultimate object, separation
and independence

Their OnIy Hope.

The rebels have now but one hope
of success. Their pe,icy is to throw every
obstacle in our wsB, so as to delay our pre-
gress to a com plete conquest until the peo-
pie Of the North become SO dissatisfied that
they will consent to terms favorable to the
enemy. The only effect their works com
stracted across our path could have would
be to consume time in surmountl1g them {
and every day delay TO US is full of inter
est to them, because who can tell what o
day may bring forth2 We are almost at a
crisis when q moment of delay is an op.
psrtunity for misfortune" But the only
source whence any danger can . DO appre.
hended to our cause is the peace party and
it is for the loyal patriots of the country to
say at the coming election whether a gleri-
Gus triumph within our reach shall be
spatohed from US by the Hnion nof the ma
iority of the North with the traitors of the
Ssuih. This is the rital point in the pres.

Without inelining in the slightest degree IN

The. following extract from the Richmond
Examiner ofAug. 3, is pregnant with mean
ing,
However, If we have not the exciting
scene OF an election ut home, there Is some
compensation in watching the movements
OF the campaign in the country to the North.
1t is, IN truth, thousand times more In.
terestlng even to us, than any election here
at home could be, because the question of
war and peace depend much more upon the
former thar. upon the latter. 1t is the
Yankee nation which makes the war. and
which must end it. If in this election thew
pronounce themselves for peace, then peace
It is II their voice is still for war, then we

Hnnter, had engagements to meet Early ON /

Early is stumping the States of Mary l.

says the Richmond Examiner. The loyal
men of these State, will not loss sight of !.
this frank avowal. They will naturally de.
