THE PEACE MEETING.
Historian Mann is to Be One OF the
Speakers This Evening.

Speakers This Evening.
This evening there will be held under
the auspices of the Society of Antiqui-
ty, at Salisbury Hall, q meeting in the
interests Of the peace movement.
Among the speakers will be William J.
Mann of this city, and Mrs. Edwin D.
Mead and BENJAMIN +. Trueblood, both
of Boston.
A Worcester gentleman interested in
the movement writes the Spy as fol-
loWs:
David Dudley Field, in his interna-
tional code, suggested Provisions for
| the preservation Of peace, which de-
serve the attention not only Of lawyers,
but of all thoughtful people. This
great constructive Jur1St in note to
the sections of his code treating of
this subject. thus expresses his opinion
as to war:
" War. in all its aspects. has little
to recommend it, and almost every
thing to condemn it, Even the bril-
liant qualities of courage and self-sac-
rifice, which it often calls forth, are
more than counterbalanced by the cru
city, license and corruption which are
its inseparable concom1tantS. The his
tory of every nation after a great war
is history of Generalization. The mo-
raj sense appears to be weakened by
the spectacle of brute force contending
with brute force: the sensibilities are
blunted by indifference to suffering and
familiarity with death; the morals Of
camps are proverbially loose; the Gus
tom of destruction is apt to beget the
love of il. and that regard for the
rights and feelings of others, which is
the chief glory of civilization, is lessen
ed If not lost in the struggle for life
and mastery in fight.
There may indeed be in nations as
In individuals, a stagnation and cor
ruption worse than death; and war,
like pestilence, may be used by the AL
mighty as a scourge to drive them
away, but that proves, not that waf is
O., Beod thing in itself, but that there
may be things that are worse.
Contention does undoubtedly shar-
pen the intellect, but there may
be other kinds Of contention than
that Of mere force. Indeed, that con-
tention which aims to overcome obsta-
oles in nature, to outstrip in manly
arts. to look deepest into the mysteries
Of the world, material and spiritual;
contention In letters and arts, in poet
ry. philosophy and history, in aEricul-
ture and navigation, in the refnements
of life. the cultivation of taste, and the
elevation of morals; that is the conten-
ton which really purifies and exalts.' +"
