To the Editor qf the Bridgeport (Conn.) Standard: Does interest inflacnce any man to "ory peace, peace, when there is no peace?" If that interest be one of trade, it can only be promoted by suppression of the rebellion. If the armed resistance were pat down in the South, trade would at once resume its former channels, and the North would oontinue to profit by selling its manufactures to the people of the South. But should the rebellion succeed, Northern men may bid farewell forever to all profitable trade with the South. It is one of the avowed objects of the rebel leaders to relieve themselves from nil commercial dependence on the North, and to that end they have already commenced to lay heavy duties on Northern products and manufactures. T5 the end of reconciling their people to giving a preference to Great Britain and Iranoe, or any other foreign power, they inculcate a deadly hatred of "Yankees" and of everything Northern. Is it not passing  that men of Northern blood are found to sympathize with those who have thus Mf only struck a blow at their business, but are daily heaping contumely and insult upon them and the land which gave them birth 1 Shame !—Shame ! The subject expands beneath my pen, but 1 have already said more than I intended. AMOS KENDALL. P. S.—Since the above was writtep, I have met with an extract from a leading rebel paper itfJ Georgia, which commences as follows, vitf1/ Jan. 1, 18&». I regretted my inability to respond to tho call made upon me for a speech at the meeting on Monday evening, for I desired to address a few words to my old political associates, the Democrats of Connecticut. With your permission I now present thro' yonr columns the substance of what I desired to say. You will agree with mc that our country is at war. W hcther we consider the Southern States a foreign power or their people our own fellow-citizens in a state of rebellion, Btill our country is at war with them. How is this war to be brought to a close ? By one of two modes—either by a suppression of the rebellion, or by a treaty acknowledging the independence of the Confederate States. Is there any Democrat who would not rejoice to see the armed resistance to the Government suppressed, peace restored and business resuming its wonted channels 1 Or if there be any Democrat who thinks it impossible to suppress the rebellion, still will he not stand by his own section and enable it to obtain the best terms it can on a final seperation ? In whatever aspect the Democrats of the North may look at this subject, their duty and interests alike require them to support their Government in an energetic prosecution of the war. How else can the rebellion be suppressed ? Or, if that be impracticable, how else can an honorable and advantageous treaty of peace be obtained ? But attempts are made to paralyze the Government by the cry of peace, and to get up a peace party uuder the name of Democracy 1 Peace on what term 11 Are the leaders of this movement in favor of peace on whatever terms our rebel enemies prescribe 1 Are they prepared to let the white slaves of " King Cotton" tread upon iheir necks, and be content to live dishonored lives in the homes of their brave ancestors ? Why do not these men, while casting their peaoe flags to the breeze, announce the terms on which they propose to makepeace? Why do they not tell us what reason they have to believe that peace can be made on any terms, other than by cowardly submission to rampant rebellion ? This peace flag, if not the traitor's, is the coward's flag. Whatever it designs, it is traitorous io effect. It gives "aid and comfort" to the cn^my. Those who are attempting to aid tho enemy by this and other devices, call themselves Democrats. I deny their right to the name. I have witnessed the mutations of parties, and been a Democrat myself for more than fifty years. There were no such Democrats in Jefferson's days. There were none such during the war with Great Britain in 1812 to 1814. The peace party was then the Federal Party, which was so effectually disgraced by the peace policy of its leaders, that its members ever after found it necessary to rally under other names Tht ro were no such Democrats in Jaokson's day. " The Federal Union must be preserved," was then the Democratic tnotio, and "down with nullification and secession/' was the Jackson battle-cry. There was no such Democracy during the Mexican war. There is none such now in the heads or hearts of true Democraoy; in my heart there is none and never wasj if there were, 1 would tear it out. f\ 8.

The Democratic party has, for half a century, witnessed the rise and fall of many other parties, always maintaining the honor ot its name. Its vital prinoiple has been devotion to the Constitution and the Union. But for the wanted rebellion of the Cotton States, it would now be the ruling party in Congress and the country. You call the Southern conspirators our brothers. So was Cain Abel's brother. Shall we stop and cry peace while the club of the fratricide is aimed at our beads and his bowic knife at our throats'( Shall our unresisting blood cry for vengeance against our murderers worse than Cain—murderers who wou.d kill a nation of persons of their brothers—traitors not only to their country but to the cause of Liberty in all time and throughout the world ? Democrats I No, they are no Democrats. The shades of Jefferson and Jaokson disown them. They mistake their proper name, and their true homes. They are the white slaves of King Cotton, and their true home is in his presence Let them go to the Cotton States and flaunt their peaoe flags in the presence of their King. Let them get up a peace party there, who are willing to Ifve in peace under our benign Constitution, and they will then be responded to by all true Democrats of the North.
