The Peace Party North and south.
Inc rebel journals are exceedingly savage In


sneir attacks upon the peace party of the North


They ridicule IL, satirize IL and call it all man


ner Of hard names But the evidence thai


there is large peace party at the South ia
daily sccamulating In Western North Caro-
lima. Western Virginia. Eastern Tennessee


Northern Alabama and Northern Georgia many
people have boldly declared for the old Union
and the old flag, in spite Of JEFF Davis terror
ism and despotism. 1t is very evident, there-
fore, that the object Of these rebel newspaper
attacks upon the Northern peace party is to
create such feeling of hostility against this
section of the country as to effectually suppress
the Southern peace party, which is everywhere
developing itself. and which has already as
sumed formidable proportions in the districts
we have mentioned.


1t Is q curious fact that the aboiitionists take
great pains to re-echo and endorse these
rebel diatribes and phillipios against
the peace party. Neither JEFF. Davis
nor the sbolitionists desire to have this war
ended BY the restoration Of the Union. JEFF
Davis and the other rebel leaders are struggling
hard for Southern confederacy, in which they
can keep themselves in power. The abolition
lists are making equally earnest efforts to secure
. Northern confederacy, in which they oan 70.
tain power by negro votea This plot has been
apparent for years past, and has been sho wing
its cloven foot ever since the rebellion began.
We have repeatedly asserted that the aboli-
tionists and the 6re-eating rebel leaders are
working together for . common object, and
upon no other hypothesis can their unanimity
upon the subject Of peace and their mutual
assistance In breeding enmity and rage between
the two sections Of the country be satisfacto-
rily explained. It is very natural, therefore,
that the organs Of the rebel government should
assail the peace party Of the North in bitter
and malicious articles, and quite as natural
that the abolitionists should use these weapons,
supplied to them by the rebels, by publishing
all such articles with exulting comments; by
banishing and threatening to hang all peace
orators and by suppressing or forbidding the
circulation of as many peace organs as pos
sible.


Let any one suppose that conspiracy ex-
lists between the rebel aud the abolition leaders
to divide the Union and share the spoils, and
he will find tho present conduct of both par
ties precisely consistent with such theory
JEFF. Davis is afraid of the Southern people.
and his efforts are directed to keeping them in
ignorance of the true state of feeling at the
North and to goading them to madness by
disappearing the objects of the war and the
character Of the Union men. On the other
hand, Greeley and his coadjutors devote them
selves to the task Of verifying all that JEFF Da-
Wis states. They attempt to repress the North
ern peace sentiment; they encourage the rebels
by promising that tho North will submit if our
armies ere defeated only once more, and they
give the war double horrors by making it a
war for the abolition Of slavery and the ex!er-
mination of SHAREHOLDERS Thus, whenever the
peace feeling at the South begins to gain
ground, we find Greeley and his gang
blowing jeff Davis bellows furiousy, and
aiding him to fire the Southern heart and
becloud the Southern mind. Every now and
then we hear of rebel officers reading such
abolition fulminstions before their regiments
before going into battle, or cheering on their
troops by stating that the Northern men will
give up after one defeat more. So this despi-
cable game Of mutual comfort and assistance
has been played by the rebel leaders and the
abolitionists since the outbreak of the war. On
neither side have the masses of the people had
a chance to be heard. Whenever the soldiers
of the Union and the rebel armies have met
peacefully they have at once fraternized and
united in q wish that the flre-eaters on the one
side and the abolitionists on the other were
hung together, and the fratricidal conflict
thus ended. The time will come when this
wish will be gratifed When the peace parties
at the North and the South are merged into
one great party by the re-establishment Of the
Union, JEFF. Davis and poor Greeley will suffer
the same fate. In their lives they are CO.
laborers. and in death they shall not be
divided.
