The Peace Conference.
--The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says:
‘
The Peace Convention is probably as fully attended now as it will be. The additions lately made to it of ultra and straight-out Republican delegations have retarded, if it has not entirely thwarted, the objects of the Conference.
It is well known and understood that had the subject been left to the decision of the
Commissioners from
Virginia,
North Carolina,
Maryland and
Kentucky, on the part of the
South, and those of
Pennsylvania,
Ohio and
New Jersey, and one or two others, on the part of the
North, a settlement would have been agreed upon before this.
The Commissioners from New York,
Massachusetts,
Iowa and some others, have come in between the
Peace Commissioners and interrupted the peace movement.
