Peace and war Democrats.

Some two or three of our exchanges talk
of some unnamed Democrats as Peace
Democrats, and of others as War Demo-
Gratis. We are sick of such trash. We
want to hear no more Of it. There are no
true Democrats but those who are for the
Union as it came to us from our ancestors
and for the Constitution as interpreted BY
Democratic Presidents and the Supreme
Court-all others are bastard- Sustaining
the Constitution and the Union means
peace, therefore the Democracy are for
peace as quickly as it can be brought about
On this question there Is no division among
Democrats, and those who try to incite dis
tinctions and divisions among them are
aiding the bloodthirsty aboltionists When
BUTLER, Burnside, DIcKIEsoN, d. TOP,
BRoUGH, and a host Of others we might
name, were in the Democratic party, they
were constantly naming themselves and
others this and that kind of Democrats
ways wanting handle to Democracy and
we see where they have gone. Let THEN
fate be warning to those who arc inclined
to their old tricks.

The Draft.

We learn from Deputy Provost Marshal
DRAKE that the draft Commissioners are
under orders to be ready to make the draft
at any time. We also learn that Holmes
county has probably filed its quotas under
the late calls, and that it is the only county
in the district that has done so. Our coun.
ty has credit for lO2 re-cnsted veterans
Lorain and Medina are far behind If the
Cody abolition fanatics up in those negro
paradise had been raising men and money
instead Of crying copperhcad and traitor at
the people Of this county, they might have
been out of the draft They are great on
killing rebels up there, but they want to do
it with their nasty tongues--the same woap-
ons they used in inciting the rebellion,
1t is pretty note, that the county which
gave FALLANDIGuAM the largest majority
of any in the State has filed all demands on
it for men and money, while abolition coun.
ties like lorain and Medina, that are giving
the last man and the last dollar to securr
the freedom Of the negroes they love, and
and restore the Union they dcspisc are
keeping their men and money at home. -
They are always in readiness to fill all the
acquisitions made uponthcm for men to vote
scoundrels into Office but acquisitions for
fighting men are suffered to 60 to protest

From the Cincinnati Enquircr.l
The Censure OF Mr.. EOng--Tbe
difference.

On the 9th Of January, 1863, Mr.. Con
way, a Republican memberof Congress from
Kansas, offered the following resolutions in
the House Of Representatives:
"ReSo,ced By Me ,Scnate and IGo',ye Of ReIresegg-
tGtires, ,(".. That the Executive be, and he Is
hereby requested to issue II general order to all
the commanders of force, IN the several militia
Try departments Of the United states 10 discon-
time offensive operations against the enemy,
and TO act for the future entirely on the dcicn-
"Resolred, That the Executive be, and he Is
further requested to enter into negotiations with
the authorities of the Confederate States with
the following propositions: |. Recognition oC
He independeace NJ Hie t0,Vederte suites. =
uniform system of duties upon imports. B. Free
trade between the two States 4. Free naviga-
ton OF the Mississippi River. 3. Mutual adop
ton of the Monroe doctrine"
Mr. Colfax was then member of the
House, but he offered no resolution for
Conway expulsion or for his ccnsurc. No
notice was taken Of it.
| In February, 1868, the Hon. Benjamin
Wood, of New York, said in Il speech in
the House, alluding to the war
| "Rathcr than prolong II, l would conccdc Il
separation as the only means of an ultimate re-
union upon such principles as a true Repubiicrnai ca
should entertain. When the purpose of tho
Southern people to abstain from political com
Ipanionship with as shall have been dcmonstra
led rs fixed and irrevocabIc, then as n necessity
useless to struggle against, shall not only coun
sci, shall urge Scparation'
Mr.. Coltax had nothing to say about eX
pelling or censuring Mr.. Wood, and hi,
! speech passed in silence.
In 1864, Mr.. Long, of Ohio, declared
! 81 believe that there are but two alternatives
and these are, either the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
independence of the South as an Independent
nation, or their complete subugatiou and eN
termination n II people; and of these 0ltcrna
| tiVci | prefer the former
Upon this Mr.. Collax moves to expcl Mr.
| Long and he is censurcd for it.
During the debate on the expulsion, Mr.
Grinncll, an Abolition member Of Congress
| from Iowa, said
! 81 ,couid rather SdU n thousand tpcS ict the com
| The North al FREE rather thar 10 see ne cOuplh!

Mr.. Holman demanded that this sen
tcncc should be taken down by the Clerk
After some further proceedings, Mr.
Grinnell retreated, by saying he was mercl,
attempting to quote the remarks Of Mr.
Conway.
The Speaker pro tenn. said under thcs
circumstances the gentleman from Iowa wa
in order
Mr., Grnnell first makesa disunon spcccl

Pray in whatrcspcct is the sentiment of Mr.

We have accounts of the attack on Fort
Pillow by the enemy under Gen. FoRREsT,
ON Tuesday morning of last week. The
enemy numbered 5000 and the Federal
force 600 Two demands to surrender the
Fort were refused and the battle commcn-

Unconauerabie Democracy.

The trtsis boasts Of the unconQuerablc
Democracy Of Belmont Crawford and Ash
land, and gives other counties the go by.
We would remind the Crisis that Holmes,
with less population than any one of the
three, gave larger Democratic majority
last fall than all three of them combined
and We will do the same next fall We
have 2, 900 majority laid up for the nominee
of the Chicago Convention, The way to do
it is by fighting abolitionists, instead of
fighting among ourselves, When a man
gets balky he is handed over to the abolish,

Fine Telegraph

Contains AN abstract of President Lincoln S
address, delivered at the Baltimore Fair.
II seems to have been entirely devoted to
illusions to negro liberty and negro soldiers.
There is not word concerning the courage
and forttudc Of white troops; not word
in reference to thc prospects Of our military
success; not a word in compliment to tho
sanitary movements which have awakened
the whole land in behalf Of those who have
suffered by lhe war. 1t seems to be mere
political clap-trap effusion, designed to
make capital by promising retribution for
the Fort Pillow massacre. No man but a
mere ordinary pofitici0n could have made
such n speech on such an occasion. PLAIN

How the Union was Destroyed,


The Republican papers are publishing
the following extract from Il recent speech |
made at Huntsville, Alabama, within ourI
lines, by jeremiah Clemens, formerly al
United States senator from that State. Itl
is IA most important development:

This conllrms Just what we published in

not only from evil war, but from secession

The Democratic party has always BEEN

occasionally produces wrangling in our ranks.
But at the present time thc.grcat principle
is to save the country, and the way TO do so
is to displaco the corrupt men who have
