11D'QR9. NATIONAL UNION COMMITTEE
NEW YORK, Sept.,9,
The great rebellion, which for more
than three'years has wrapped the MI:
tion in the flames of civil wfir, draws
near its crisis. Its, armies have he,en
beaten, its territories has been eon
.quered, the forts'and posts which' it
treacherously seized have been occu
pied and held by the soldiers Ot
RePublic, its foreign , allies have been
detached from its support, and its hos
tile arm, paralyzed by exhaustion and
discouraged by defeat, is upheld solely
by the hope of political victories 'to be
achieved by its allies in the Presiden
tial election of November next.
• If the People] in that election
taro the Government, if they —l reatiscrt,
its just authority and reafftrri - i ; their
purposele maintain it.by war So long
as war. assails it, the rebellion will,
speedily end. If they falter .in this
determination, or leave any 'room for
doubt on . this tital'point, the -. 'rcbels
will take fresh' courage and :proleng,
the contest. Every utterance .of their
organs and , their,ltgents affirms' and
confirms this • position. Every:!rel39l,
in aims and.oVery rebel in office . verY
rebelsorgan in the rebel States : dr in.
foreign lands—every hater of .Demo , (
cratic Freedom and the Rights of man
longs and labors for the overthroW of
the administration and the expulsion,
of Abraham. Lincoln from the • Presi
dential chair..
- • In the Northern and Western
States this hostility has been Olubedo
ied and organized in the . aeli and de
clarations of the Chicago Convention.
That conventioc gives a silent' appro
val of the rebellion itself, and•anopen
condemnation of the war Vaged,,ihr
its suppression. Without a. word of
Censure for the conspirators who plot
ted the nation's death, it brands , with.
unsparing denunciation the patrietsH
and heroes who defend its life. While
it passes in utter Silence the gigantip,
usurpations of Jefferson Davis and his
confederate traitors—while ; it over
looks.entirely, and.thus, , by . justilnd
necessary inferende,'apprOVp's'' their:
abrogation of political rights:, and per-,

President of:the United: -Staten has

That Convention had no words of
exultation •for our victories; no thanks
and honors for the sokliers and 'sailors
Who have shed their blood to trehieve,
thcin. While it denounces Our
ernment for neglect of duty toward
our "fellow, citizens, who are. .now;
and:long have been prisoners of war
in a suffering condition," it has riot
even a syllable of censure for those re
bel autherities,who, with 'more. ',than
savage,eruelty, and in utter, disregard
of every dictate of .humanity,, , as , well
as of every usage of civilized warfare,.
have deliberately and with systematic
purpose inflicted upon' those priSoners
all the tortures, of expoStuT, of n r eglecf,,
and starvation, and hav,e off6red pre

the supplies they so sorely need, se

We appeal to, the people', of the limi

friends of Freedem—against the con
summation of tho foul' crime against
both which ,th,e, acts and declaratiOns
of the Chicago 'Convention involve.
We invoke them not to sanction
. these
principles and sentitnents by electing
the cUndidaide put forward_ to repre
sent them. We implore them, as'they
love their country, as they,'seek
renewed
s integrity of its territory', as
they desire the peaceful protection of
its flag, and the blessing of, its free, in:
stitutions and its c,stual laWS,fbr them
