With such senti ments they have no affinity. They savor too tuueh of old Hivkury and the uouae with which he threatened Calhoun. It is amusing to see the anxiety manifested by the self styled Democ racy of the Chicago school about the negro question, especially their trepi dation on tho subject of negro equali ty. Now about tlie latter they need give themselves no concern. The Cre ator has placed a barrier between the social intercourse of the white aud {black coin purposes doing that which can not be done. The doom of Slavery dates from the inauguration of the re bellion. and the rebels are alone re sponsible for its downfall. Mr. Lin coln labored for nearly two years to save it, but signally failed. ITo im plored the rebels to abandon their sui cidal policy, but they hooted at his ad monitions and scorned his overtures, ami now bccausc they have been al lowed to reap the harvest of their fol ly. they denounce him as a "dictator," and their Chicago allies join them in it.

The difference is that while we can arm them with safety, they cannot. They have armed everything that they dare trust with arms—old men, young men and boys, aliens, citizens and savages, and are now organizing and euiplo^ ing the slaves in every way possib to faciliatc the operations of their ar mies against lis. The peace managers aak us when will the war cud We answer: Whenever tliey cease their efforts to retard the progregg and defeat the success of our arms. Their example, their speeches, their newspaper arti cles, their misrepresentations and their clandestine co-o(tcratious with the en emy have protracted the war at least a year, and now they come forward with a platform embracing two pro- aud a Convention of Statce. The first would be supreme folly, and the latter is impossible. The truth is that the whole platform might be already set forth in one line— Itero^nitu n af tht means, and what its framcrg desire to accomplish through it. Some of our friends seem bnay in devising plans tor reconstruction. Their labors are premature. The time has not arrived for the discussion of that question. We must drive theeu erny to the wall and bring him to terms.
