LET Us HAVE PEAcE,-The following com.
munication was received too late for inser-
tion yesterday;
NEW ORLEANS, November 2.
You will please inform your Democratic
friends that they will have no use for pis-
tolls, bowie.knives or other implements OF
war on the third instant. Republicans will
not trouble the voting polls on the day of
election; will remain at home and give no
cause for bloodshed and murder by those
who oppose them. The saving of life; the
peace, quiet and good order of the city is
more important now than riot and trouble;
therefore, the Republicans will not go to
the polls to vote. We would vote for Gen
eIal Grant, but he will get along without us;
We do not wish to be the cause of riot and
trouble on the day of election; so let Demo
Gratis put up their weapons, unless they wish
10 use them among themselves.
