NEWS SUMMARY
BT TELEGRAPH.
Morning Report. The dispatches
yesterday morning are barren of inter
est From Cincinnati, we hear that the
Great Sanitary Fair is a success; that
the Governor and Legislature of Ken
tucky have asked the President to post
pone the draft in that State until the en
rollment papers can be corrected; that
delegates from Frankfort have left to at
tend a conservative convention in Phila
delphia, and some statements made by
Gen. Kimball, at Indianapolis, the sub
stance of which appeared in the Evans
Tille Journal a week ago From
Washington, we have the usual twaddle
about Democratic caucuses, operations
of guerrillas, letters from distinguished
officers, and statements of reliable men.
The Army of the Potomac is reported
quiet, sundry former lies are branded,
and new hopes are aroused that arrange
ment will be made for the exchange of
prisoners.
The Peace Party.
In the Journal, of yesterday, we laid
before our readers what we believe will
be the platform of the Democratic party
next year. The State Sentinel confirms
our opinion, by bitterly denouncing the
Union men who voted to lay Wood's pro
posal for peace on the table. It says, in
thns voting, " they have voted that they
don't want the Union restored they
don't want equity they don't want fra
ternity they don't want equality and
they don't want the Constitution; there
fore, they do desire disunion, injustice,
fraternal hate, inequality and no Consti
tution." It may not be amiss, in this
connection, to refer again to the propo
sition presented to the House of Repre
sentatives by Fernando Wood, to see how
much justice there is in the Sentinel's
charges. We copy the resolution again,
omitting the preamble :
Resolved, that the President be re
quested to appoint three Commissioners
who shall be empowered to open negotia
tions wnu uie auiDormes at JKicnmond,
to the end that this bloody, destructive
and inhuman war shall cease, and the
Union be restored upon terms of equity,
fraternity aud equality, under the Con
stitution. The Union members did not vote
against restoring the Union, but against
the manner of restoring it proposed.
They believed it to be impracticable and
mischievous. They were not willing to
sue for peace at the feet of Jeff. Davis.
They were not willing to appoint Com
missioners for so humiliating a duty.
They prefer seeking peace after the man
ner of Generals Grant and Banks
is the province of rebels to sue for par
don and peace. It is the duty of the
Government, through the Administration,
to enforce the laws. When those laws
cease to be violated there will be peace.
The riot act has once been read. When
the rebels want the Union restored they
will lay down their arms and ask for
mercy. To entreat them to do so before
they manifest any signs of repentance,
is patting to shame the brave men who
compose our armies, by virtually acknowl-
dence as to the position the Democracy
will occupy in the next Preidential race.
Mr. Edgerton, of this State, recently in
troduced into the House of Representa
tives a Preamble and Resolution, which
was supported by the united strength of
the Democrats in the House. The Pre
amble sets foith thai the various Procla
mations of the President have had a ten
dency to re-invigorate the otherwise de
clining insurrection in the South, and to
prolong the war; and that the House re
gards, with anxietj, the extraordinary
claims and assumptions of the President
in the said Proclamations; and then re
solves as follows:
"Resolved, As the judgment of this
House, that the maintenance inviolate
of the constitutional powers of Congress
and the rights of the States, and espe
cially the right of each State to order and
control its judgment exclusively, as es
seutial to the balance of power on which
the perfection and endurance of our po
litical fabric of the Federal Union de
pends; and we denounce, as among the
gravest of crimes, the invasion or occu
pation by an armed force, of any State,
under the pretext or the purpose of co
erring the people thereof to modify or
abrogate any of their laws or domestic
institutions that are consistent with the
Constitution of the United States; and
we affirm the principles declared in this
resolution to be a law alike to the Presi
dent and to the people of the United
States.
The resolution is a little muddy as
published in the Sentinel, from which
paper we copy it Its ambiguity, how
ever, renders it none the less acceptable
as Democratic doctrine. The resolution
embodies the old notion of State Rights
as taught by Calhoun, yet was endorsed
in the House of Representatives by the
vote of every Democratic member. No
State is to be "occupied by an armed
force to compel the people thereof to
modify or abrogate any laws or domestic
institutions that are consistent with the
Constitution of the United States." But
who is to determine whether objectiona
ble laws or institutions are consistent
with the Constitution ? The States, or
the general Government1 Here Mr.
Edgerton's resolution is lamentably
lame. Either construction can be giv
en it, and that was what he intended
when he offered it. It was the usual
trick of a pettifogging politician. We
say every Democratic member of the
House endorsed this resolution. It, how
ever, was voted down, as it should have
been.
Gen. Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky,
also introduced a series of resolutions
bearing on this question. The fir3t one
reads as follows:
" Resolved, That as our country, and
the very existence of the best govern
ment ever instituted among men, is im
periled by the most immoral, causeless
and wicked rebellion that the world has
ever seen; and believing, as we do, that
the only hope of saving this country and
preserving the (iovernment is by tne
power of the sword, we are for the most
vigorous prosecution of the war, until
the Constitution and laws shall be en-
TnTte'd StaW'fflfa1, ;to'xnf.tr', t Up
pose any armistice, or intervention or
mediation, or proposition ot peace, trom
any quarter, so long as there shall be
Sound a rebel in arms against the gov
ernment And we ignore all party
names, lines and issues, and recognize
but two parties in this war, viz. : patriots
and traitors.
Mr. Cravens of Indiana promptly mov
ed to lay this resolution on the table. It
didn't correspond with his ideas of De
mocracy. Its patriotic ring grated harsh"
ly on his ear. It was too positive, earn'
est and emphatic. Like its author, it is
easily understood and no two construe
tions can be placed upon its meaning,
Now, if the Democrats are in favor of
vigorous prosecution of the war, this res
olution, it seems to us, ought to hav
I met their approval. If they are oppos
ed to the war and are in favor of con-
eluding peace upon such terras as the so
called Confederacy is willing to concede
of course they would vote aginst it Well
how did.they vote ? Every Democratic mem
ber of the House voted to lay the resolu
tion on the table. They are not in favor of
a " vigorous prosecution of the war until
the Constitution and Laws shall be en
forced and obeyed in all parts of the
United States." They are not "oppos
ed to any armistice or intervention or
mediation or proposition for peace from
any quarter so long as there shall be
found a rebel in arms against the gov
ernment" In other words, they are for
peace at any price at any sacrifice
though it be at the expense of the honor,
dignity, and perpetuity of the Govern
ment. The platform upon which Mr. Val-
landigham was run for Governor of
Ohio is less exceptionable than these
principles Democratic Congressmen are
sustaining by their votes.
Thus,we see that the positions assumed,
and the leaders that are chosen, by
Democratic Congressmen indicate that
the controversy next year will hinge
upon the abandonment or prosecution o
the war. How shall we obtain peace, is
the great and absorbing question. By
accepting such terms as the rebels may
offer, say the Democracy. By compell
ing them to submit to the Constitution
and the laws, say the Union men. Which
is the better course, remains for future
discussions.

to-night transacted no important busi

Gen. Anger made a trip to-day on the
railroad as far as Bull Run for the pur
pose of inspecting the roads and provid
ing against raids of the enemy. The
bridges were found to be in good condi

which will doubtless prevent another de
scent upon the line within this depart
ment.
Guerrillas and small squads of rebel
cavalry still infest the country beyond
Manasses, and depredations on Govern

Headquarters Army of the Potomac, ) ? 3
December 21, 1863. J ?
At the present time the Army of the
Potomac is in the same position it has
been since it recrossed the Rapidan.
An order to move to better quarters is
expected, especially as the roads, which
a few days ago were rendered almost im
passable are now frozen hard. As far
as we can judge, the rebels have not
changed their position. Our men have
made for themselves most comfortable
quarters impervious to the frost and
snow. It was stated in the dispatch of
Saturday that the rebel cavalry destroy
ed two bridges over Bull Ron. This is
not exactly so. They appeared in some
force, attacked our guards and set fire
to one of the bridges, but the fire was
extinguished, and the rebels left without
doing any material damage.
Washington, Dec. 21. Arrangements
by which all matters connected with the

hitherto been conducting the exchange,
will report to him.
The flag of truce boat was to leave
Point Lookout to-day for City Point with
1,000 rebel prisoners.
The secessionists of Baltimore, who
