From the Cincinnati Enquirer
PEACE DOCTRINES AND PEACE
SOCIETIES.

There is a bi-monthly journal printed
in Boston, entitled the Advocate of Peace.
1t is the organ of the American Peace
Society. The American Peace Society is
in favor of peace an the abstract. Its
members are conscientiously opposed to
all violence inflicted on themselves. The
motto of the society il, Peace on earth
and good will toward men," It's creed
teaches that no cause or provocation is
sufficient to justify a war; and that the
gospel rule, when you are smitten on n
cheek, turn the other that it may be
smitten also, is binding as well upon COM
munities as upon individuals. 1t is OPP
posed to shedding blood in any case and
has had its doubts whether force of any
kind is justi6able, even at the hands Of
the civil magistrate.
Yet, during the last FIVE years, the Ad-
vocate of Peace has been a vigorous adj
vocate of war. The organ of the Peace
Society has urged on the advance of our
armies, and taken great comfort in the
slaughter and destruction which they have
achieved. During the period above men
toned, the Peace Society has been a War
Society ; its members composing a part Of
that class of our fellow-citizens who,
keeping resolutely out of the way ofharm
themselves, have been most jealous toex.
pose others to the danger of combat, and
most indignant at the manifest want Of
patriotism in such as hesitated.
Some may be curious to know whether
the Peace Society was able to reconcile
its abstract with its practical teachinge-
whether it attempted to do so and upon
what grounds it essayed to conform its
principles of 1860 with its principles Of
1922. 1t did make the attempt, and
it succeeded at least, in its own opinion
it succeeded. Nothing so easy, except
perhaps that easiest of moral avocations
lying. How was it done |, The answer
involves the exhibition of psychological
processes rather curious han otherwise
The Peace Society discovered that il
was not a war in which we were engaged
Its members were unable to see, in tho
events which occurred between 1860 anc
1855, any thing which put them in mint
of military operations of a hostile charac
ter. The arrays of men in uniform
marching and counter-marching Will
swords and artillery, and penetrating in
various directions through the South, i
contemplated simply as a body of the
National constabulary-a collection O
policemen gathered to aid in the execu
ton of civil processes. Our Lieutenant
Generals, Majors Generals, Brigadier-Gen
erals, Colonels, Captains and Corporal
were no more nor less than head catch
poles, commissioned to put the law il
force and suppress any incidental resist
ance. The slaughter, rape, robbery
arson and generalyiolence were only acct
dental. The Peace Society was very sur,

am other. When the revolt in this country
broke out the blacks numbered only one
sixth ofthe entire people; but, notwithstand
ing they had for generations been kept in
the sad and miserable condition of slavery,
when the word liberty and emancipation
rang along they rose as one man, and one
hundred and thirty thousand of them array
ed themselves under the banner of the Re-
public, fought bravely and firmly, and help.
ed to secure the final victory. lie also al
luded to the success o negroes in Hayti, now
represented near this Government.
[ remember we'll the occasion to which
the honorable and distinguished novelist
refers with such a vivid and accurate de-
scription. Hundreds-nay, thousands
of negroes " had hewed their way from
the sad and miserable condition of slavery
to Washington city, to bask in the sun
beams of liberty and freedom-freedom
from work. They had been taught that
the white soldiers from the North were
lighting, not for the Union, but to liber-
ate them from the " sad and miserable
condition of slavery and that they were
to have houses and farms allotted to them,
the Government was to keep and provide
for them, and they were to dwell in hap
by ease, luxury, and pleasure. While in
this dreamy bliss, a company of white sol
diers marched down Pennsylvania Avenue
one day. and when opposite the Treasury
building, halted, broke FAnks, and with
force and arms pitched inland picked up
every negro found crowded in the vicini-
ty. marched them off to the Provost Mar
Ishals office, where their rags were ex-
changed for respectable suits of good blue
cloth from thence they were marched
to the island of Analostan to prevent their
escape, and, when properly broken in,
marched off6nto the public service. The
negroes in other parts of the city, getting
wind of what was going on in front of the
Treasury and elsewhere on that memora-
Ible day, 7swhen the word liberty and
emancipation rang along, rose as one man
and fed in all directions-some to cellars,
some to hay-lofts, some to the woods, and
others baak to "the sad and miserable
condition " from which they had escaped
but q few months before. Those who
could not escape subsequently entered the
market and sold themselves as substitutes,
through the influence of seductive and
Overcoming, artful brokers, for sums
ranging from $500 to 5000, Massachusetts,
becoming a heavy purchaser of this arti-
Gle to meet the deficiency in her quota.
This was the mode and manner IN which
" the negro hesced his way out of chattel
slavery and astruck the blow which en-
titled him to liberty" and the learned
novelist very justly and eloquently de.

it upon him. And, unless wegreatly mis-
take the temper and spirit of the Ameri-
can people, he will receive such a support
as has never been accorded to any Chief
Magistrate since Andrew Jackson. Mr..
Wilson and his associates, in our judy
ment, will prove themselves very unwise
men if they force such an issue upon the
President and the people. 1t is wholly
needless and unprovoked. 1t will be the
work of faction, and not of patriotism. It's
object is to perpetuate a narrow and self
ish ascendency, not torestore and strength
en- the glorious fabric of our American re-
public. They can inaugurate the con-
hict, but they cannot escape the swift and
sure destruction it viii bring upon them
