Of course we know vothing whatever about this Mr. Turpie, except tbat he was defeated in the contest against Mr. Colfax at the last elec- tion; but the fact of bis being the nominee of a convention where speeches were made in favor of an “immediate and unconditional peace,” ' cinye,* and that “elsewhere thelr claims would be based upos the principle of the wi posside- tis” (what they actually possess). Then, as an answer to all this, this Richmond diplomat tells us that “the government of the Confederate States can make no such treaty;” that “it can- not cede any territory belonging to any of OFFIOR M.

Always in favor of an tioworable peace, she has always patriotically supported the government in its struggle with treason. Now is her grand opportunity to make this record tell. Both the peop!e and the politi- cians are tired of the miserable clashing, équabbling, bargaining and corruption of balf a dozen contemptible local cliques, and would gladly hail the reform we urge Tammany to inaugurate. : A Goon Movs.—We perceive that a move- ment bas been made in Boston, in view of the voluntary withdrawal of President Lincoln and General Fremont from the Presidential canvass, so;that @ new Presidential ticket may be set up, “ge broad as the patriotism of the country and ita needs.” This is a good move; and should Lincoln and Fremont be thus_ induced to with- draw: from the field, General McClel!an, if nomi- nated at Chicago, ought to do the sameithing, 80 that all parties may unite apon a new Union ticket, and carry it aud the war through by ac- clamation. what is to be done with its “sacred soil.” Upon this hint we have a new suggestion to throw out to President Lincoln. The right of secession, upon which this rebellion was started, is, under Jeff. Davis, retained to each of the States concerned as a constitutional right. These Sonthern rebels and their Northern sympathizers are great sticklers for constitutional rights. Let them be brought to a practical test upen this diabolical, but, as they hold it, divine, right of secession, or State supremacy. Prac- tically, we know that Jeff.
