PLATFORM. OF THE CHICAGO
CONVENTION.
The resolutions adopted by the Con
vention which nominated McClellan
and Pendleton at Chicago on the 31st
of August, 1864, are as follows :
Resolved, That in the future, as in
the past, we will adhere with unswer
ving fidelity to the Union, under the
Constitution, of the only solid founda
tion of our strength, security and hap
piness as a people, and as the frame
work of the Government, equally con
ducive to the welfare and prosperity
of all the States, both Northern and
Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does
explicitly declare, as the sense of the
American people, that after four years
of failure to restore the Union by the
experiment of war, during which, un
der the pretence of military necessity,
or the war-power, higher than the
Constitution itself has boon disregar
ded in every part, and public liberty
and private right alike trodden down,
and the material prosterity of the
country essentially impaired, and that
justice, humanity, liberty and the pub
lic welfare demand that immediate
efforts bo made for the cessation of
hostilities, with a view to the ultimate
convention of all the States, or other
poacable means to that end, that at
the earliest practicable moment peace
may be restored on the basis of the
Federal Union of the States.
Resolved, That the direct interfer
ence of the authority of the United
States in the recent elections held in
Kentucky, Maryland Missouri and
Delaware was a shameful violation of
the Constitution, and a repetition of
such acts in the approa&.ing elections
will be held as revolutionary, and will
be resisted with all the means and
power under our control.
: Resolved, That the aim and object
of the Democratic party is to preserve
the Federal Union and the rights of
the States unimpaired, and they here
by declare that they consider tho ad
ministrative usurpation of extraordi
nary and dangerous powers not gran
ted by the Constitution, and supervis
ion of civil by military law in the
States not in ins urrection, tho arbi
trary military arrest, imprisonment,
trial and sentence of American citi
zens in States where civil law exists
in full force, the suppression of free
dom of speech and of the press, the de
nial of the right of asylum, the open
and avowed disregard of State rights,
the employment of unusual test oaths,
and the interference with and denial
of the right of the people - to benr
arms, aw calculated to prevent the res
toration of the Union and a porpetua•
tion of a Government deriving its just
powers front the consent of tho gov
erned.
Resolved, That the shameful disre
gard of the Administration to its du
ty in respect to our follow•citizens who
now, and long have been prisoners,
and are now in a suffering condition,
deserves the severest reprobation on
the score alike of public and common
humanity.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the
great Democratic party is heartily
and earnestly extended to the soldiery
of our army, who are and have been
iu the field under the flag of our coun
try, and in the event of our attaining
power they will receive all care, pro
tection, regard and kindness that the
bravo soldiers of our Republic haye so
nobly earned.
The resolutions were adopted with
but four dissenting voices.
WIIAT IS LIFE ?—The mere elapse of years
is not life. To eat, and drink, and sleep—
to be exposed to darkness and the light—to
pace round the mill of habit, and turn
thought into an implement of trade—this is
not life. In all this but a poor fraction of
the consciousness of humanity is awakened,
and the sanctities still slumber which make it
worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vital
ity to the mechanism of existence. The
laugh of mirth that vibrated through the
heart—the tears that freshens the dry wastes
within—the . music that brings childhood
back—the prayer that calls the future near
—the doubt which makes us meditate—the
death which startles us with mystery—the
hardship which forces us to struggle—the
anxiety that ends in trust—aro the true
nourishment of our natural being.

one of his bills figured up that "8 times
8 are 88." The Governor was not slow
in discovering the mistake, and de
manded explanation. Bill examined
the account and saw that ho was down,
but did not like to admit it ; so putting
on a bold face, he said : That's all
right." How so ?" was the inquiry.
"It's all owing to the inflation of the
currency," said Bill; "the multiplica
tion table, like overythingelse, has gone
up!"

HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1864.
What the Chicago Platform Means.
It is a happy circumstance that at
the precise moment when the Demo
cratic party entered the Presidential
canvass with a platform in favor of
the "immediate cessation of hostilities
in order to enter into negotiations, a
formal and authorized declaration was
promulgated from Richmond of the
terms on which the South would ne
gotiate.
First, the separation of the North
from the South must be considered as
an accomplished fact, the absolute in
dependence of the Confederacy must
be acknowledged. On no other
ground and for no other object, says
Mr. Davis, will the South negotiate.
It is undoubtedly true that precisely
for these objects leading Democrats
desire to negotiate. The opposite is
nowhere declared. Since it is impos•
siblo there can be negotiation except
on this ground and for these objects,
the only logical deduction is that in
declaring for an armistice so that the
war may be closed by negotiation, se
paration and Southern independence
are distinctly intended. If any other
deduction can be legitimately drawn
we are unable to discover what it is.
This matter is cc grave a ono that
it becomes of the utmost importance
that this point should not be misun
derstood.' It is the essence of tho is
sue. No ono will pretend that the
Chicago platform had a word put , into
it without deliberation; therefbro what
was excluded was equally the result
of deliberation. It sometimes is the
case that silence is more expressive
than spoken words; and it is the fact
with this platform. The fact that it
contains not a word condemnatory of
the rebellion or the rebels, that it con
templates not the prosecution of the
war under any circumstance, but im m
diato steps to peace as the only course
to be pursued, that this policy is do.
Blared in the face of the declaration
from Richmond that there can be no
peace without separation—is the most
speaking fact there is in the platform
or connected with it; and it amounts
to thn::-pthaitire'-dtetaration that the
pence intended is peace by separation
the withdrawal of the army and navy
and the acknowledged independence
of the South.
Tho leaders of the Vallandigbam
and Wood school so understand it, and
therefore support McClellan. The N.
Yurk Yews, 'Cincinnati Enquirer, Chi.
cage Times, and other journals that
have openly favored the recognition of
the South, and scarcely disguised that
they were on the rebel side, support
him, because they understand the Plat
form to mean peace by separation. No
observer of popular movements has
failed to discover the growth in the
Democratic party of this description
of peace sentiment. It is notorious
that at Chicago so strong was it that
it caused to be stricken from the
Platform the original declaration in
favor of a vigorous prosecution of the
war in case the South would not nego
tiate on the basis of the restoration of
the Union. llcncothere is nothing in
the now Democratic creed in favor of
firing another gun, or a word against
the rebellion..
The very air is full of the damnable
purpose of acknowledging Southern
independence. "Separation is an ac
complished fact," says Jeff. Davis, and
the Chicago Platform, by studied si
lence, gives consent. It will be the
people's turn next to speak.
HEADQUARTERS ISt BRIGADE,
Ist DIVISION, sth CORPS.
August 28th, 1864.
DEAR GLOBE :—The sth Corps is on
the Weldon Railroad. The sth corps
holds the left of that portion of the
Weldon Railroad which is held by our
infantry. The left of the sth corps is
the Ist Division. The left of the let
Division is the Ist Brigade; right on
the corner; d'ye see? From our left;
the line runs back in a line perpen
dicular to the road, the lines forming
a right angle with a battery of 3 inch
rifles; grinning at the vertex. That
is an approximate description only,
for few fortified linos are straight. Wo
defend this corner, and there are two
batteries that can rake the fbreground
should occasion require. Half our
men look down the railroad, where
the advancing enemy must traverse a
broad open and level way to death.
The other half look out across the
field to the wooded swampy ground
in front. There an assaulting party
would have a soft road to travel, which
would be likely nevert?ieless to prove
a very hard one. Such is the impres
sion of those who wait on this corner
for the compliments of gray-garbed
chivalry.
Hat cock has been down to Ream's
Station, five miles from hero and had
a desperate fight in which he is sup-
-PERSEVERE.-
posed to have porno out second best.
Wytro sadly in want of definite in
formation on the sabjupt, but the re
port as yet uncontradicted, that he
lost nine guns and fell back in the
night, leaving his dead and wounded,
looks nothing like a very signal victo
ry. It is said that Hancock declined
offered reinforcements and was after
wards overwhelmed by numbers. We
know that he had breastworks and if
this statement id correct, the rebels
have undoubtedly paid a fearful price
for their advantage. Rumor accor
dingly assorts that the rebel loss was
terrible.
A week ago to-day, the rebels as
saulted our line, a mile above here, at
the point whore we first struck the
road. For perhaps half a mile from
the road the ground was clear, a field
of sickly corn, with "nary" roasting
ear, lying next the woods. Up to the
right the woods came nearer the road
and there, just in front of a house,
were about a dozen guns pointing to-
ward the scene of Friday's assault. At
some distance in the woods, was our
line of skirmishers, and 'running near
the railroad, parallel to it were our
breastworks. We were lying about
rather loose, when a rattling, varying
fire began to he hoard on the line in
the woods. Teamsters began to bitch
up, mail carriers, cooks, clerks and
non-combatants generally, began to
look for shelter, and the soldiers has
tily concluding their various occupa
tions, fell into lino and drew up close
to their defences. The cannon turn•
ed on their wheels and looked down
along the front.
I should havo mentioned that from
the batteries, a breastwork extended
to the loft some distance, and this was
in advance of our line. The rebels
supposed it to be our extreme left.
Tho cavalry came galloping back
from the woods. I wondered what
their hurry was, but just as the Kist
file passed out of the rake of our guns,
volumes of smoke rushed from the
dark mouths of several pieces, thun
ders rent the air, and the shells went
crashing through the wood! We know
then what was the "matter. How
those guns worked ! Down in the
woods we bear a long loud yell. Ag
ain the batteries thunder, toed then
the troops mount their works and
send answering shouts. The roar of
guns becomes continuous. Ha ! shells
are coming as well as going, and coin
ing in more directions than one. Flop,
goes ono into the mud ! There anoth
er rebounds and catches a guns blan
ket hung to dry on stakes, carrying
it up into the air. Crash ! How the
fragments and shrapnel fly buzzing
along! The long gray lines are emer
ging from the woods. Already shat
tered and torn, they still advance.
The breastworks seem to smoke, and
malty a rebel goes to judgment.
The eye of some rebel falls on that
breastwork jutting out from the bat
teries an with open flank. Now ho
has us! A whole brigade goes round
and comes in behind it. Socuro of
triumph, they rush up the hollow, and
—find themselves between the federal
lines, with thousands of muskets grin
ning death in their faces, and they are
summoned to surrender. There was
no dodging the question. Tho John
nies not gracefully complied.
The rebels have often "nicked us"
by flank movements, but oven rebel
ingenuity may miss• • J. S. B.
A SOLDIERS OPINION OF THE COMING
ELECTION.—An officer in Sherman's
army, born and educated in Philadel
phia, writes us from before Atlanta an
interesting letter discussing the draft,
the coming election, and other subjects
just now of general interest. We give
below his remarks on the coming elec
tion, as a reflex of the opinions of the
soldiers of the grand Army of Georgia,
who feel an especial and deep concern
in the restoration and perpetuity of
the Union :
EMI
"I wish the election were over; its
results will decide the fate of this na
tion. Mr. Lincoln re-elected, and the
policy of carrying on the war until
rebellion is utterly crushed sustained,
and I fully believe the present war
will terminate triumphantly for the
right within six months. Mr. Lincoln
defeated, and a low, conciliatory poli
cy avowed, the war will also termin
ate, perhaps more speedily, in the re
cognition of the South as an indepen
dent nation.
"To defoatMr. Lincoln is the main
hope of the Southern leaders. They
know, perhaps oven better than we,
what important results depend upon
the November election ; they know his
reelection is the death blow to. their
hopes, 4is defeat their promise of spee
dy viciory.

and Mobile, and the Confederacy is

still secure, if the war-policy of the
loyal States is disavowed. We may
fail to gain either of the rebel strong
holds, and yet give armed treason its
death-blow on the election of Mr. Lin
coln; and the consequent avowal that,
despite three long' years of hardship
and suffering, despite the sacrifice of
money by millions, despite the shed
ding of blood like water, despite de
feat and the death of thousands of our
bravest and noblest, wo stand where
we stood on the 15th day of April,
1861—for the prosecution of the war
until treason was crushed, and rebell
ion ceased to exist save in name. Oh !
as an American, as a lover of my coun
try, I pray God will give our people
courage to meet the issues before them;
oh, that they may prove worthy de.
condants of the mon of the Revolution,
and do their whole duty in the hours
of the great crisis of the war. God
grant that our people may show their
loyalty, their patriotism, is more than
empty name. The blood of the patri
ots of the Revolution, of the heroes of
1312; the blood of their sons, their
brothers, their friends, shod upon the
sacred fields from Bull Run to. Peter
sburg, from Shiloh to Atlanta; the ga
ping wounds, the shattered limbs, the
tears of the widows and the orphans,
made such by the war; the old tatter.
ed flag insulted, the memories of our
past, the hopes of our future, call up
on the men of the North to be true to
themselves, to be true to their nation.
By their acts will the fate of the
Union be decided—and by their acts
will they be judged by their children
and their God Lincoln and Johnson
in themselves are but men, with all
the faults of their fellows; individual
ly they may be ignorant; they may
be much less competent than others,
as true men as they; but a loyal con
vention of representatives of loyal men
has selected them as tho candidates
for the chief offices of the land; they
aro the avowed friends of the great,
only true policy of the nation; one, at
least, has been tried and not been
found wanting; and both aro identi
fied as patriots devoted to the main.
tenaiice of the Unieri at all costs, at
all hazzards; as such they aro the rep
resentatives of tho greatprinciple for
which wo have given so much. Their
election is its triumph; theirs is its
defeat. Representing, then, the cause
for which we fight, there can be no
doubt on the part of the true loyalist
in the proper disposition of his vote,
no doubt respecting his duties in the
coming election!'
How to End the War.
The great duty and advantage of
making the coming draft thoroughly
fruitful of results is ably illustrated in
the following romarfcs of Mr. SWINTON
the correspondent of the Times now
at headquarters of the Army of the '
Potomac. They include the personal
judgment of the Commander-in-Chief
of the army, and Lin this respect es
pecially, deserve attention :
"I am persuaded that if our armies
did no more than hold their own in
their present positions, with the grip
they have on the rebel armies, tho re.
hellion must wear itself away and die
out from sheer lack of breath. But
the duty is laid upon us, not less in
consideration for the South itself than
for the honor and integrity of tho na
tion, and the material interests of the
world at large, to use swifter means
for its suppression. We all want
peace North and South; but the shor
test cut to peace is through vigorous
blows at that alone which prevents
peace—the armed forces still under
control of the chiefs of the rebellion.
Even in point of time no ambassadors
could arrange terms of peace so quick
ly as the mission of a fresh hundred
thousand muskets. It is no mere poor
judgment .of mine, but the authorita
tive utterance of the head of all our
armies, that A, is in the hands of the
people to end the rebellion at a blow.
Lieut. Gen. Grant has declared that "if
he had now but a hundred thousand fresh
men he could in fifty days do up all the
fighting that need be done during the
war." This is no shallow hearsay; it
is the authentic declaration of the
high name given ; and the sentiment
is affirmed by every military man I
have lately met. Half that force ad
ded to Gen. Grant's own immediate
army would enable him to stretch his
line across to the Danville road, and
positively compel the abandonment of
Virginia; the other half would put
Hood's army into the hands of Gener
al Sherman. Is there living patriot
ism enough loft in the country to
evoke the means for so glorious a con
summation ? If there were not, it
might well raise the question whether
such a people deserved to be saved
"This will be the last draft. There
will be , no more calls, for there will
need be no more. The reinforcements
it will give our armies will end the
war. This reflection should evoke
the heartiest efforts to make it pro
ductive of the best fruits,_ which will
be realized whop our people; coming
to view it not as an arbitrary imposi•
tion of force, but a solemn call of du
ty, and its eleetiops not as a misfor
tune to those on whom they may fall,
but as a sacred laying on of hands,ye
spond promptly and personally to its
demands."

A BEREAVED WIDOW.—Two ladies
were lavelling from. St. Louis to Cin
cinnati, one of whom wits asked by a
follow traveller, with whom-a conver
sation bad been opened, if she was
married. '•I was married," sighed the
blooming dame, "but, alas, I know
not if my husband be dead or alive.
I heard that he was accidently killed
in Pittsburg a few weeks ago, and
am going there to ascertain whether
the report be true or false." "Well
I've got a dead sure thing on my hus
band," remarked the other lady, "for
I saw him buried six weeks ago."
A BATTLE! THAT WAS NOT FQUGHT.-
Many years ago two boys differed about
some trifling matter, while at play,
and one of them chalenged the other
to fight. The chalenge was accepted,
and the heroes went into an adjoining
field to settle the quarrel. Jackets and
caps were thrown on ground, and all
was in readiness, but each appeard
unwilling to strike the first blow.
"Now, then, strike me if you dare."
said the younger boy, with a fierce
countenance.
His companion looked at him, but
did not strike. A t length ho said
'Nay, I have nothing to striko you
for."
"Well, then," said the other, who had
Provided the quarrel at first, "let us be
good friends again, for I have nothing
to strike for either."
They dressed, and left the field
without striking a blow, and never
quarreled atfer.
Ono of them now holds a very
respectable position as a teacher of
youth. how few battles would be
fought either among young people or
old, if, in imitation of these boys the
disputants would try to find a reason
for a quarrel before they Strike a blow.

LOBA TEMPORARY HOSPITAL, PETERS-
BuRG, - Va, July 17th , 1864.—Dear Brotk
er Pinch Your long and interesting"
letter of the 6th came 'to hand yester
day. lam sorry . that circumstances
were such that I could not see yoii:
when so near me. I 'availed myself
of every opportunity to inquire about
you. I am, again glad to hear that
you aro well and safe up to the
.date
of your letter. .
The mails have been runnidg
through for -a foli days, and have
brought me several letters from the
dear ones at home. The most recent
was written on the 3d . inst,. when all
were well. Sallie says Slfe thinks
mother's health much bettor than some
time ago,'and that she is more cheet:
ful. This is truly to, us very gratify
ing news. Let us hope to. be with
them soon, to enjoy the ex:qtiisit sweets .
of home and peace. Thong': our shy;
is rather murky now, I still bolieVe
this campaign will end the war. Tbo..
late news from all quarters but Georgia,
is cheering, and I think, all will be
right there soon. Early has had his
own way in Indiana, and thelatest news,
from him very encouraging. I hoNV
ever am prepared to hear that he bite
returned to us without captdring
eith
er Washington or Baltimore. Still ho
has done the enemy an immensity of
damage. If his force is only strong
enough to enable him to hold his own,
and compel the withdrawal of Grant;
it will be a most glorious thing. But
if not, we will have lost everything.,
Grant may hold his position a long
time and continuo to' hell the city; but
unless he can do more than this, ho
will lose the object of the campaign.
The news from, the peace party, Aroilih,
was never more encouraging than now;
they are becoming More bold and defiant
I every day, Irallandingham has returned
to Ohio and defies Lincoln-to-attempt to: ,-
re-arrest ..him. These things arc

significant, just now, in view of the

The South will Welcome the Union:
"Extermination or independence !"
that is tho talk of Southern leaders..
Will it be the fact? Are the men of
the South braverithan' the Poles, more
indomitable than. the French, more
stubborn than the Austrians, more to
nacious than the Russ? All these
have succumbed before overwhelming
military force; and what has been will
be. Occasional men may prefer dePth

When wo scatter the armies of there

with their entire defeat our terms of
peace will be 'courteously received;;

defiance over the camps of two groat'
hostile armies, we have small prospect'
of making an honorable and an endu

SENTIMENTS OP THE SOLDIERS.—The
Lancaster Ei.,:pf•ess makes an extracC
from a letter of Lt. .E. M. Boring,' n;
worthy officer of the P. V. Y., to a':
friend in that city. It expressed the;
general sentiment of the soldiors,:- • : ,
"Tho result - of the Into election is
source of great satisfaction to us, and
1 assure you. that the old 79th wilt
101 l up such a vote for Abo and Andy.
as will-astonish the Copperheads of
Lancaster. We can't call those inert'
Democrats, for the reason that they
aro not Democrats. They are_ trai
tors, too cowardly to uphold their'
cause
. and
,its principals by corning , out
boldly into the field and shoulderfng' .
their muskets alongside of their more'
manly brothern—the rebel
country's: Party strife in this hour of country's'
peril we as soldiers detipiqo and utierni,.
nate, and we regard these who
pate in this, after the fashion of the .
Copperheada,. as speculating , in the
_blood of the country's stay and sup
port, her patriotic army and navy..
Though wo may not fully endorse'
some of the measures of President Lin
coln,"-yot We fool and know that in the'
general administration of his affairs
no man could have dove hotter, and
we mean that he shall remain at the
holm of our ship of state until we
have safely we-.thered the storm of
rebellion."
