From the following documents it will be
seen that the hope ofpeace, which had be-
gun to thrill and animate almost every
heartin the land, is. gone, and that this ter
rible and destructive, war is to 20 on for an
indefinite period. God help the suffering
people, for there is neither. help nor pity
in man. -. - t--: =
Cur voice is still for peace, niggers or
no niggers. Our: skirts shall be clear of
all responsibility for the continuance of
this war. -, .- r.-.-
We are aware that our advocacy Of peace
is bringing down upon us the anathemas
of the war men, but their censure does not
make a single nerve culver. We are of
that obstinateelass who think the white
eopze'ofthis country have some rights and
deserve some consideration, as we'll as the
negroes. And if the country is to be des-
olated, and the white race annihilated, in
the effort to maintain the institution of
slavery, the war men: are welcome to all
the glory, and may incur all the respop

glxescy- or rne Life of Hon. George
M. Dallas.

Hon. GEORGE NJ. DALLAS, a distinguished
politician and statesman, died at his resi-
dence in Philadelphia, Dec.3l. The follow
ing is brief sketch of the principal events
In his life:
GEORGE MFFLIN DALLAS was born in
Philadelphia, July 10, 1892. He graduated
at Princeton College, N. j., in 1910, studied
law and was admitted to the bar in 1913.
When ALBERT GALLATIN undertook his
special mission to st. Petersburg Mr.. Dali
LAS went with him as his private secretary.
After the close of the war with Great Brit
ain, he returned home, and held position
In the United States Treasury Department,
which he soon resigned, and engaged in the
practice of his profession in Philadelphia.
In the spirited Presidential contest of
1924, Mr.. DALLAS was an active supporter
of General JACKSON for President, and Mr..
CALHOUN for Vice President. In 1928, he
was elected Mayor Of Philadelphia, and re-
signing this Office at the end of a year, he
received the appointment Of District At
torney. This Office he resigned on being
elected United States Senator in 1881, which
position he filed till the expiration of the
term, March 8, 1888. Declining re-elec-
tion, he was appointed by Governor WoLF
Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and
held the Office till 1885. Mr.. DALLAS in
1887, was appointed, under Mr.. VAN
BUREN's administration, Minister to Rus
sia. At his own request, he was recalled,
and offered the Attorney Generalship-
that Office being vacant by the death of
FELIX GRuNDY; but he declined the prof
fer, and resumed the practice of his pro-
fession in Philadelphia. In May, 1874, he
was nominated for Vice President by the
Democratic National Convention at Balti-
more, in connection with JAMES X. Polk
for President. The result Of the ensuing
heated canvass was the election of both,
who each received 17O out Of the 275 cleo
toral votes cast.
While Mr.. DALLAS as Vice President pre-
sided In the United States Senate, the fa-
nous tariff bill, which passed July %, 1916,
was under discussion. It was regarded as
free trade measure, which would be the
abandonment Of the protective policy, and
the Inauguration Of a system of tariff for
revenue alone. When the Senators came to
vote on the bill, they were equally divi-
ded, and Vice President DALLAS gave his
casting vote in favor Of the bill. In an nd
dress TO the Senate on that occasion, Mr..

S,overnor Brough ON Peace and
- War.

Governor BRoUGH in his annual message,
declared that after the extinction OF slavery
has closed the war, "when peace sheds its
blessings again upon our people, this shall
be. what Cop and our fathers designed it
ALANp OF HUMAN FREEDOM" AS to the
war being closed by the extinction OF slave
nv. the prospect from the way it is now
prosecuted, seems to be strong that, II end
ed under the present Administration, 1t
will bring with 1t the institution and es-
tablishment of slavery on broader and
grander scale than ever was before known
on this continent, and to which the serfdom
of Russia affords but faint parallel. 1t
will include not black slavery merely; but
the iron bondage of white men, women and
children, as well.
We have been often told by men of Gov.
BRoUGH's present party, and If we mistake
not, by the Governor himself that peace
might come in such q way as to be no
blessing, but curse to the people. If half
two-thirds, or, as appears likely to be the
case, seven-eighths of the mass Of our peo-
ple-we mean the farmers, mechanics and
laborers,-are annihilated by war for the
annihilation of slavery, and the remaining
one-eighth are doomed to serfdom worse
than the old system of negro slavery, we
presume that no sane man would say that
q peace with such results would be source
of very great blessings to the people. If
this Administration ever concludes peace,
such results are quite certain to follow; if
it carries on the war with its present policy,
these things must come to pass. Whether
in peace or war, "when the wicked rule,
the land mourneth."
Such peace as this Administration would
bring would make this-not Land of HUI
man Freedom, but Land of Human Bon
dage. The Governor speaks of the design
Of Gsil- and our fathers. He manifests US
poor conception of the one as the other.
We shall not initiate his presumption, and
assert what was or is the design of the Al
mighty in regard to this country. But the
design of our fathers clearly was to estab-
lish over this broad land system of local
self-governments or States bound together
under one limited Federal head. This
system, they considered, as securing
Human Freedom in its true and broad
est sense. They left it to each State to
determine what classes of its inhabitants,
or what portion of them, should possess
the rights and privileges OF full citizenship
to determine whethera child should serve
his parents till eighteen, twenty-one, twen-
ty-fve, or some other age; what should be
the relative duties of husband and wife, and
of guardian and ward, and whether the rela-
tion of master and slave should, or should
not exist To the States they left it to reg
ulate these and other local and domestic mat
tiers, as they thought their safety and happi-
ness might require. Such was the system of
Human Freedom, or of Free Government,
which our fathers designed to establish,
and did establish, and which Governor
BRoUGH's party are laboring to overthrow.

to secure the attsndAncs desired. Many

But the schools are closed, and we have
now no authority over the children. l.
therefore, respectfully and urgently request
parents to encourage their children 70 take
the part in the celebratisp which has been
assigned them. As n committee have
spent much time in preparing y an spprO-
