THE PkaCK CoPrRRMe ADA, The operations of the politicians im vational politics ersuadowed everything in local aifuirs during the past week, The political movements on the part ol the op- position to tie aduipi-tration have been mostly confined to tue ultra peace @ miyogues, They pave beea holding forth in every localiiy, aad are endeavoring, by nook and by crook, W magni y thomseives into importance and make out that (hey are all creatiog aad @ large portion of “{he rest of mavkind.”” They have been gathering togetuer in different tocali- ties avd declaring Lucir strength and power im high sound- jog resolutions, witch no doubt gull some peraons into the belief that they reslly are omnipotent, But the facts do not bear investigation, Take, for instance, Wood's gattiering at Mozart Hall. A series of resolutions were offered and published, giving the impression that they had been adopted, instructing the delegates to Chi igo Ww favor the presentation of an armistice to the rebels by the conveutioa,and to vote for no man for President or Vico l’resident who ts not in favor of it, All this was paraded as the edict of the gathering. We have since been informed by a person whe was present and participated that the resolutions were not adopted, but were postponed until next week. ‘Take this in connection witn tHe fact of boasted harmony, when only about one- sixth of the General Committce were actually present, most of the balauce participating in another Mozart Hall mveting,aud the affair is placed ina very different light, Jt, in fact, tooks a8 though these ultra peace disciples of Jefl. Davis are few in gumber, and have adopted the plan of noisy boasting to make up for their lack of num- bers, What is true here is true elsewhere. None of these ultra peace gatherings are in reality what the or gang of the clique would have us believo—formidabie in ‘numbers, We know that the public generally are ax: fous 1or peaco; but how ure you going to got it? they ask ‘This ‘act is no proof that the doctrines and ideas go long urged by the Woods, Vallandighams and Burrs are en- dorsed by the public gonerally, Far from it. Events will goon prove the correctness of this statement, The fact that the real workers in different wards of tno city, who have given to Woou’s Mozart Hail most of its strength, instead of meeting with tho old committes, sesembled on the same evening and passed resolutions instrucuing the delegates to Uhicago to do ull they cou'd to secure barmowy, is sul- ficient proof, as far as this city is concerned, of the real position of affairs, AGAINST THK WAR DEMOCRATS.
