THE PLATFORM OF TREASON, AS PRE PARED BY THE LEADER OF THE BEELKINEIDGE PARTY IN PENNSYL- VAN lA. The following is the resolution wri ten by Mr. F. W. Hughes, the Chairman of the Breckinridge Democratic State. Committee, for the consideration of the State D - mocratic Convention. It is the most lucid and explicit declaration we have yet reed of the opinions of the leaders of the Secession party of Pennsylvania: • Resolved, That Pennsylvani owes her growth in po potation, and the Morena° of capital and wealth of her Citizens, chiefly to the advantages which the American 'Union had afforded for the development of her natural resources; and that her glory and paramount interests •tire idenilSed with the continuance of that Union.

Napoleon and His 'Lima's Over the future of nations, as over the fu ture of individuals, Providence has cast a veil. ' Yet, as we can somewhat judge from the boy what the man may be, wo can approxi mate, by inductive thought rather than mere conjecture, what, under such and such circum stances, may. happen to a nation. No doubt many philosophic minds have speculated, with keen anxiety, upon the condition of France whenever NAPOLEON shall have as shuffled off this mortal coil." Let him survive until his son reach manhood, and the continuance of the Bonaparte dynasty may be pretty..surely counted upon. Lot him die while 'that - child is young, and shadows, clouds, and_ darkness rest upon and obscure the prospect. The Empress, no doubt, would be Regent during the boy's minority, but is France to be ruled by a sceptre held in a woman's hand ? NAPO LEON (son . of JEROME) might then haVe the ambition • of• assuming imperial sway, though his unpOpularity in Paris would Militate . greatly against it. Or, some bold soldier may cast his sword into the scale, and repeat the daring of the first NAPOLEON. That 'either the Bourbon or the Orleans' representative have the slightest chance of wearing the dia dem of France seems so utterly out of the question that nobody appears to think it worthy of`consideration. France hates the Bourbons, and the junior as much at least as• the senior branch—the Count nu PARIS rather more than the. Count DE eIfAMBORD. It has sometimes occurred to us, and pos sibly to others, that NAPOLEON'S scarcely concealed leaning against tho Union cause, in our present contest, is the result of distrust, on account:of our having had the Count DE PARIS and his brother serving as volunteers in our army: These young gentlemen, it is uni versally conceded, behaved with marked gal lantry in, . our service, and, by their frank courtesy and bonhomie, made friends of all with whom they came in contact. Perhaps NAPO LEON found something annoying in their popu larity and gallantry, representations of which reached Europe. It is certain that, ,even before PALMERSTON volunteered his 'hollow pretext of neutrality, NAPOLEON bad pro claimed that principle, which, of late, he semi rathei inclined to abandon. It may be assumed that be will not be quite pleased with the letter, dated 11th September, from the Count DE • PAnrs to General SICKLES, now liethe rounds of the newspapers, in which lie manfully avows his anti-Secession senti ments. Tie following sentence is well Tut, and is true as well as frank: "Depend upon it, however ignorant-and preju diced may be the public at large, there are still on this side of the Atlantic some hearts who follow with emotion the struggle of a great and free t.ation for her institutions, acid who cannot believe in the ultimate success of the efforts of a deluded minority to establish a • new community, whose corner-stone shell be so odious, so dangerous; and so precarious an institution as that of slavery." This, aS the ovidence of a personal witness ; aught to have a decided influence upon NA. POLEON. That - it will favorably affect him, as corning from one of the Orleans princes, is very much to be doubted. War Medals A correspondent, who ought to be well informed, assures na that the Naval war medals which Congress has authorized the President to distribute, in acknowledgment of eminent services, will be composed of the same metal for all classes, so that an Admiral and a man before the mast shall have the saxne distinction. Also, that the specimens in gold, silver, and bronze, were executed Only to show how the medal would appear in dif ferent metals. In all probability, when the war is ended, every man who has served in it with an honorable record will receive a medal which he and his family ought to trea sure far above the factitious adornments of rank and title which European aespots scatter among their myrmidons. Another correspondent, who assure§ us that the Waterloo medal is the same size and weight of an English crown piece, has allowed us to examine the army and navy medals, which, after marty , years' agitation, much op posed by WELLINGTON, were granted, in Queen Vioronia's name, to the naval and military men who had served in the wars against NA POLEON, or, rather, to the few survivors. They were also issued, we believe, to the eldest sons and grandsons. The original medal, of silver, is large, but another medal, a little smaller than our silver dime, and twie,e as thick, was worn by those who did not wish to have nearly an ounce of silver dangling on their breasts. These are the medals which we have been al lowed to examine, and were made by HUNT and ROWELL ) the well-known London jewel• lers, and executed by Mr. WEON 3 the modeller of the British Mint. The naval medal bears a bust of VICTORIA., and the reverse has a representation, in relievo, of Britannia riding a sea-horse. The military medal has the same obverse, and on the reverse VICTORIA., robed and crowned, is, shown placing a laurel wreath upon the bead of a kneeling warrior. Surrounding 'this is the inscription et To the British Army, 1793-1814." Each medal has its distinctive ribbon by which it is attached- to the coat-breast or button-hole. The navy ribbon is white and the military; is red, each with a narrow edging of blue. As a cheap acknowledment of merit, such a thing as this is not without its use. The value con sists in its being a record of good. service, of practical patriotism, and of national gratitude. The annals of warfare have not recorded any valor so great as than evinced by our citizen soldiers during.the present war—and every one of them, or his surviving representative, ought to receive from his country some tangible memorial that he, too, bore arms in the great contest for national rights and human freedom now waging on our soil. The Meeting Last Night We surrender a great part of our space to day to a report of the meeting at the National Hall last evening of the friends of the Go vernment. Apart from the !fact that it was one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations we have ever seen in Philadelphia, we cannot but remark the singular harmony that per vaded its deliberations, and the presence of men of all parties to assist in developing and reorganizing a true loyal feeling. Its presi dent, Mr. CHANDLER, who was one of Mr. Be- CHANAN'S ministers at a foreign court, took the highest ground; and among those that spoke none were more earnest and bold than our fel low-townsman, FREDERICK C, BRIGHTLY; Esq., who has been hitherto actively in sympathy with the Democratic organization. He was for the party until it turned against the Union, and his duty to the Union places him where he to-day. We see in the meeting last night, in the character of those who controlled it, and in the patriotic sentiments there ex pressed, signs of encouragement and comfort. It shows that the friends of the country are active, energetic, and thoroughly organized. We think we may augur from this indication, and irom the others that are crowding around us, a glorious triumph to the Union cause at the polls on next Tuesday. Mr. Covode at the Arsenal. The Hon. Joan COTODE has been in Phila. delpbia, on business for the Government. On Times** afternoon, at the request of Colonel G. H. ORMAN, Assistant Quartermaster Ge neral in Philadelphia, he visited the Arsenal, and, after inspecting its various operations, Made an address to the employees. Mr. Co- Tope impressed upon the minds of his audi ence the great duty of sustaining the Govern ment in this hour of peril. He recalled- to their minds the fact that we were now is a war for the salvation of the Union, and that if we permitted the • common enemy to triumph, either on the battle-field or at the ballot- box' great danger would befall the Republic. He did not address them as a party man, nor with a view of influencing them to the support of meniparty measures. He'had no motive be yond the salvation of the Republic, and he called upon them to do_their-tlutN-ii , - 1 —..---..y.,-.1---m-ure - nonoraele member from Westmoreland was brief, eloquent, and well received. We take this occasion to speak of the high integrity which has characterized Colonel Criossan's management of the Arsenal. Having in charge one of the largest, if not the very largest depot for the army in the coun try, he has so administered its duties that the Government has been protected, and the mili tary operations forwarded and strengthened. Colonel Cnoemms is an officer of the regular arniy, and is an efficient, courteous, and in trepid soldier. That gallant and gifted Douglas Democrat, JAMES M. Soovn, of Camden, has been placed in nomination by the Union party of the First Legislatiie -district of New Jersey for. the Assembly, and we are not surprised to tear that his chances of .election are good. Mr. Scovir, is one of the earnest, con scientious, and fearless Democrats who have broken loose from the old organization, and are now fighting under the flag of the Union. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." WASIIIIVOTON, October 8, 1862. The last and most magnanimous demon stration of the times is the' general order of George B. McClellan, commander-in-chief of the Army of the Potomac, in favor of the President's proclamation of the 22d of Sep tember, which decrees that the slaves of all the rebels in arms, after January: 1, 1863, shall be at once and forever free. Coming, as this splendid order comes, immediately prior to your election in' Pennsylvania, and from a native-born son of Pennsylvania, it is regarded here as the most explicit and emphatic expression . in favor of' , the Tolley of the Administration, and against the sympa thizers with Secession, that these latter days have called,. forth. General McClellan has been claimed by,the sympathizers with Seces sion in your city and elsewhere as a quiet ally in their attacks upon the President of the United States. They have made him an object of praise and of preference. When bitter partisans assailed him, they held the Adminis tration responsible for these assaults, and vowed that he was to be destroyed because he was a Democrat. They insisted that he was to be sacrificed by the Republicans. They refused to acknowledge that the President stood by him ; that your glorious Governor Cuaris was his close and intimate friend, and that large masses of Republicans trusted and believed in him. 'Thar onty °ldea was to make of Geo. 13. McClellan an. element of sedition, a faggot of faction, and the best proof that the leader of the conquering column of the Smeri can army was in sympathy with the brigands he was assailing. They cared nothing for him unless they could put him in conflict with the Government they hated. They knew, it' they could induce him to yield to their importuni ties, he would be the most potent instrument in their grand scheme of first dividing and then dissolving the American Union. I am free to admit that General McClellan has bad many temptations presented to him. I am not of those who wholly confide in his own confidants. But I can appreciate the feel ings of a soldier who is attacked because he does not please mere partisans, and who 'can not act up to the expectations of exacting patriots. .d great man, however, is silent in the midst of calumny. It is only the small man who winces under the attacks of his foes, and rushes into print to defend himself against misrepresentation. Gen. McClellan, in his order Of Tuesday, has answered those who unjustly suspected him, and has• rebuked those who believed him to be willing to yield to their blandishments. I happen to know that when the President visited the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac he jocularly reminded the young chieftain of the Emancipation act, so reluctantly issued, because it was hoped that the rebels would be subjugated with out it. The answer of General McCiel-' lan is found in his general order*. , This an swer is at once a rebuke and a reply to the sympathizers with Beceesion who have sought to, use him. lie tells it to his sol diers. Every soldier in McClellan's army has a constituency in Pennsylvania. In this constituency are many who have been trying to employ the name of. McClellan as a party-cry against the Government. His answer to them, and his responsive appeal to the authorities who have so ably sustained him, is to be found in the glowing words to his own troops, that they mast not substitute ," the spirit .at Politicalrfaction for that firm, steady, and earnest, support of the authority of the Government, which.is the highest duty of the American soldier." If George B. Mc- Clellan can thus appeal to his men-in-arms, why should not his words sink deep into the hearts of those who profess to admire and to love him ? OCCASIONAL. Death of Paymaster Stamm. We regret to see noticed the death of Levi D. Sham, which event took place at Mamaroneck, New York, on Monday. Mr. Slamm, at the time of hie death, was a paymaster in the United States navy, having been appointed to that position > du ring Mr. Buchanan's Administration. Mr. Stamm was a native of New York, and at an early age entered the political arena as a Democrat. He es poused, with all the ardor he was capable, the cause of General jaokson, and during his Administration, he supported with zeal all the public measures of " old Iliokory." Ile also supported Mr. Van Buren during his Administration. Shortly: after the election of Mr. Tyler to the Presidency, Mr. Stamm established a paper in, New York called the Plebeian.. It was edited with marked ability, and continued its existence until after the acces sion of Mr. Polk, when his office was de stroyed by the conflagration of the Trebune building. It was not afterwards renewed. During the palmy days of the Democratic party, Mr. Sian= was counted among its leaders, and his opinions received a great deal of attention. While on ship-board, pursuing his &Vocation, he contributed highly-interesting letters to the leading newspapers of the country. Mr. Stamm was a finished writer, an accomplished gentleman, and an honest public officer, and one who won the confi dence and respect of all with whom be was brougat in contact. The funeral took Place . from his resi dence in New York city, yesterday afternoon, and was largely attended by the editorial fraternity, and his friends. FROM WASHINGTON.

Gen. Raines at Grose Hollows, with a (reported) force of from 4,000 to 5,000, mostly conscripts.- 'Gen. Holmes is commander-in-chief of all the forces at Little knock, with about 2,000 mon and two batteries, one of pounders and threat?. pounders; the other of two rifled 8. pounders and 2- pound howitzers.' • Gen.

The meeting was composed of our most prominent citizens, and many were present who 'never before attended gatherings of ibis kind. The meeting could not be termed one of party, as there were convened men of all political creeds, who were equally enthusiastic in sup port of the views expressed by the several speakers. '/ ho emancipation proclamation of the President, whenever touched upon, was hailed with the wildest applause and the loudest expressions of approval. All present wer e of but one opinic;n, that in the present crisis there could be but one great party, whose solemn duty it is to lead every aid and use every exertion in their power to crush (mirth's wicked rebellion. The lirge hall was filled to its utmost, the capacity of the building being scarcely sufficient to accommodate the masses who pouted in. A fine band of music was iu at. tendance and discoursed the usual patriotic airs fib only sit( r eight oiclock,Willtam H. kern called the meeting to order, and proposed as chairman the Hon. Jossru B. CHANDLER. This name will received with loud and long-continned cheering. kir Chandler took his place on the platform amid great applause. When order • was finally restored he spoke as follows: SPEECH OF HON. JOSEPH R. CHANDLER. On faking the chair, Mr. Chandler said : MY FRIENDS AND PELLOW.OITIZEKS: My presence here to-night conneit be a matter of more astonishment to you th an ti le to myself. _ Raving arrived at a good old age, I felt !that it was time for me to withdraw from public life, and from the loophole of my retreat I have looked out upon the world .and its government, upon your ac tions asp arty men and no-party men, and comforted my-. telt with the bell. f that I could he spared and could pass away and be forgotten by those among whom( had so long been remembered. But there are occasions when we must sacrifice our own wishes to the views of others and our humblest services are due when kind friends ask them. [Cheer S.] ' The 11 quest that I should bo present, to night, to join in your deliberations, was one that I could not decline. 1 see around mu. on all hands, those whom in former years I met in council upon the affairs of the party to which I belonged, and also as many of those against whom we then pitted ourselves in earnest combat, and 'whose zeal in their cause evideuced the sincerity of their nellef in their principles.' I'come among you this evening, after so long an absence froanthe public delibe rations of mY friends, not as a Whig, as you have known me; not as a Democrat, as I have opposed some of you; not as a Republican. not as a 4 ' people ' s " man. not as an anti.,elavery man, or a pro-slavery man—these email legitimate branches for differeuces of opinion in tin es when parties may be followed, but, in this emer gency, I look-beyond them to the great trunk out of which they all' spring, and proclaim myself simply a Union man ! [lmmense applause ] A friend of the Union, and of every man of every creed and every clime who is friendly and will defend the Union. '(Cheers ] And I say, clearly and distinctly, that it I thought any principle less than this was to occupy the delibmations of those who are assembled here, I slould feel that I aas not at home In presiding . over such an assemblage at such a time. Frienet and tellow-citizens, my voice is not quite as strong as lA wee twenty years ago, when some of your lathers wi i e wont to listen to me kindly and patiently; but my h rt in this cause is es warmly, yes, warmer than ever, i was in the party measures—those legitimate movement' of men who then mingled in the public af fairs oftcountry. [Cheers ] I am not disposed to occupyr time, which may be more profitably en gaged istening to others ' who will address you upon the,greuestion of the day. It I lid time and strength, I would like to say a word upon tib causes of the rebellion and its remedy. The rebels if the South, now in armr, have manifested a spirit Of nn c n which would be worthy of all commendation in • bit cause. The North, trusting in ire numbers, Its wealt , its greatness, and the justice of Its cause, has had Ana that union than was necessary to the perpetuation .01 it Government; and one of the objects of this meet . ing idle procure, as her as possible, the union of every lionteheart and every honest hand, at least in this city, 1 in t film ions work. [anima . 1 A have been told abroad, and as you would ender star • if you were to cross the ocean, it was not our Aft ' hundred millions of acres within our States and or teed Territories; or the 'thirty millions of- people th till those acres, that commanded , the respect of fer gn nations, but it was the union of States, the union .of aides, and the common feeling of our people a - rover they were and however they were situated. 1 ' JP in the moment it was understood on the other side of th water that there was danger of a dissolution of the U ,elt: that moment with their fear perished their re -0 t for us, and we are now pointed at with scorn by ' 'gland, who is always a friend when it serves her in , eat, arid alwale a foe, either storotly or openly, to hone whose existence imperil her wealth and standing. i Fellow.citizene I will not hirther occupy your time. I ought to have said some momenta ago what I now say, that I thank you for the position to which you have 'tailed me; but more especially do I thank you for the cordiality with which I have been r..ceived after so long an absence. After thin expression of heartfelt thanks, permit me to announce that this meeting is now organ intd for the purl:Kilo of action, snd I am now ready to receive any proposition of business consistent with the call. rOheers itton the OOLCitlifioll of Mr. °handler's remarks, the 'following vice presidents and secretaries wore proposed jet additional officer, :the meeting : 'FIGS PRESIDENTS Wm.

Never in the history of Ott e r relations, never in the history of the world, has there been a rebellion of such gigantic and monstrous propor tions ter the present, and 130962 had it so little canes. Without cause, without reason; in defiance of right, truth, and justice, madmen have rais.si the parrioidsl hand, and are now striking down this great and glorious land of ours. This mighty nation is to-night slunk to the death throes okan agony that may result in h er latter destruction. And yet, with all this noon us, we have men in our midst who stand aloof anti hear with indifference the cry of our country, " Help, help against the wicked and the m , gbty.' , They stand back, shrouding themselves in a miserable, cowardly, SA Illtiort neutrality that knows no loyalty, that is averse to a noble patriotism, and recreant to everything that is true and noble in American manhood. If there is a sympa thizer . with rebellion to night in this room—l care not by what name he may be called—let me tell you, North ern man or Northern sympathizer, you are too ranched a coward to be a traitor or you would not be here. (Oheertug) Your place, to-night, is with the minions of Jeff Davis,- and nothing but your place. bkn)king meanness keeps you away from that rebel horde. leo, gentlemen, I can not with all the conservative character, (which, I believe I have tbo reputation of powwowing.) I cannot treat with common politeneee the man who will sneeringly tell me that this is '• your war," that this is an Abolition war, that this is a war for the negro. Be knows bitter. He utters a lie before high Heaven when be makes that assertion. Romp continued applause ] We have a class of nen among us who have no sympathy with thieglorions move ment, this mighty uprising of an upright people to save their nation from destruction—to sympathy wha ever. They look at the noble man who now controls the deed nice cf the nation[cheers] not as the representative of the people; but loo king at him with eyes that cannot see beyond their own dirty party line, they regard him as a mil e party man. But, thanks to the noble and the brave, Order 163 has to-night made McOlelisn for Lincoln and for the war. All honor to our noble, gallant chief—the leader of our victorious hosts upon the Potomac. Let that order be read in the presence of some of these itikitg, malignant, cold blooded neutrals, and let it bo a scorching, withering rebuke to their baseness, when a hero, a patriot, and a statesman, in the presence of thirty millions, can tell the army that the civil power must be carried out, and that it is their business to defend the nation and- the Governmett. - Whet a noble contrast there is between the statesman and patriot hero and the little slimy politician: The con trast, gentlem n. you can draw. To name it Is to speak the infamy of those who would strike down Mc'Jlellan and mph the Administration. "1 he Union as it was, the Constitution as it is ; free speech abd free press; the .draft, taxes"—these are the cries that you bear now from the party not for the Union, but the party who stand beck and osy this war is not for the troii n and liberty, but for the negro. Why, gentlemen. I stand here to-night, and advocate fur the freedom of speech and of the press, in all its length and breadth. But let me tell gentlemen who are so cla no rolls for the freedom of the press and of speech, that there is a limit to that freedom even in a land of liberty and right, a limit to freedom of both speech and the press. Tell me, any one of this intelligent andi ence,', where in on' Constitution, or where, in that book of books, s bleb Is above all constitutions, do we find the right of any man, claiming whatever freedom he may, to do wrong. [Applause.] I say to that man who speaks treason and then falls • back upon hie reserved right, " Ton infringe the liberty of speech." I say to the traitor editor, who uses treasonable language against the Admioistratien or the war, "Sir, son do wrong in paralyzing the Administration, you are abusing the liberty of the press." The convict in your penitentiary MU use the same argument : What right bad the sheriff to arrest him for setting fire to his cwn home? Why, do not these men who are now so clamorous for the liberty of the press and of speech, fully illustrate the old saying of Eudibras 61 7 1 0 rogue e'er felt the baiter draw, With good opinion of tho law 7" If more of these men felt the halter di aw, they would just hare their I igbte, and no more. I am here to-night to sustain the Administration, and e noble man whole now Preeioent of the United States, Abraham Lincolii. [Great applause,} lam here to ous t in him. not l'y virtue of befog a potitician, but, I hope, the highest and noblest motive that could influence you an• myself. I sustain him becalm I believe him to be a patriot a lover of his country. I sustain him because I desire the brie ation of my country ; and as a patriot, not as a politician, I onstaln him In every act of his Admini stration. I sustain him because of his two recent procia math no. (Tremendous cheering land prolonged enthusi • ann.) Mr. Morton McMichael proposed three cheers for the last proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. The cheers were given with the gcea eat enthasittem In the name of the President of the United States, I thank you for that approval of his course. Yea I ma lain that ; proclamation, in which, despite the spurning Mime of Northern traitors, of Northern sympathizers, of Northern miserable neutrals, the President, in all the manhood of a noble American, dale raise his voice, and, before tbirty millions of people, Mtn a blow at the very fortress of the enemy.. As a war measure, it exhibits consummate skill ana wis dom that generations may envy. Why should the rebels possess a power that we have not, which enables them to mass armies, and ee..ds them to !moot down thousands of our fellow •chizens 3 Why should Union men guard the homes and slaves of Southern rebels 'I Why should they be compelled to watch the property of the masters and cultivate their farms ' while our eons and brothers are in the army fighting for liberty now and liberty for ever (Applause ] The President touched the springs of the rebellion when he struck at slavery. Why, gen tlemen, as a measure of war, is it wrong ? ; by every principle of humanity, onaw, and of constitutional and religions right, God and conecionoe will approve it. Then, gentlemen, what have we witneseed, and what are we now witnessing, on, our borders? Who have let loose upon the nnoffending inhabitants of our Western frontier the merciless savage, with his cruel scalping knife and bloody tomahawk, making the cottage to flame, the wife to live in agony, and the hnseand to welter in his blood ? The accursed. emissaries of this accursed rebellion have set the davaga upon our citizens atd they are murdered night after , night. These rebel emissaries have been leading on their hell-hounds against the loyal soldiers of the Union. And when we say to the rebels, '• Your slaves shah not be your strength," then what word of commendation is there from our Noribern sympathizers? None. except that ,tve are Abelitiocitts, and that they will resist the war and overthrow the President. Where is the rebuke from these men when the rebels let loose the savage upon tin 'offending citizens? It is nowhere Gentlemen, it is time this war should be a war .in ear nest. [Applause.] The nation must wake up. I be- Ifeve we have reached the midnight in this war; the hours of the morning are upon us, and from the many glorious fields, dyed with the red blood of our brothers, there is going up to Heaven the cry for justice. It calls upon the b; ave to rally; upon the noble at home to bo up and doing to sustain the hearts of the bravo and gal lant men in the field. We ere now recommencing anew a series of victories that will drive rebellion from our land and proclaim tho Union anew, one and forever. I proclaim again this night, not to the partisan, the Whig, the. Democrat, or the Republican, but to the true and loyal man of every name and creed—we want you on the second Tuesday of October, when an issue is to be determined and a battle fought , results of which may be of untold importance to our land. It you aro nct prepare° for that final and glorious struggle, make ready now ; prepare your ballot. We have now a noble man as Mayor of this city—tap •. by justice, moderation, energy, and etsoioncy. We want to te•elect him as a patriot, as a Union man, as a friend of the country and nothing but the country. Will you do it 7 I appeal tonight to my fellow•citizens, without reffrence to party, to do your duty in tho fear of God and in the love of your country. I appeal to. night to the men who 4 4 fight mit Sigel" to come up and do your duty. Yes, while Hooker and Sigel are in the struggle, we want their friends at home to do the fighting here.

Southern people, under the Constitution, as long as they had any rights under it, and now you find me• on the Union ticket, select( d by the Union- liming people of the Twenty second ward, as one of their nominees; and you may well ask me, wherefore this great change 7 [Cheers.] My first reason is, fellow-oitizene, that I love my country and her institutions better than I ever loved the Democratic party. Another, and one which cannot fail to influence any reflecting mind, is the gliring tact, to which co tone , men can shut his oyes, that the Demo cratic leader o in this State are in opposition to the 'Go vernment, false to their allegiance to the Union and striving daily and hourly for the success of the wicked and causeless rebellion which now drenches our once happy laud in blood. Bleed, fellow-citizens, the blood of freemen, waters the fields of. Virginia, and shed for what? For what is the South in arms? and for what is the sound of the Northern soldiers' dram? The South, in which for the last twenty years no Northern man could enjoy the rights guarantied to him by the Consti tution, has flown to arms because the North has one ' ceeded in electing a - Chief Magiatrate whom they could not hope to enslave, and froth whbm they pretended to fear °egression. And the people o. the North have risen in their might to uphold the ClOnstitution and the laws, and to sweep from their grasp everything in opposition to their free institutions._:[Applause.] This war, fellow• citizes, is not prosecuted for the ex tinction of slavery, but if it,reeult in wiping out that foul blot from our cetintry's'otherwihe olefin escutcheon, I, for one, will heartily thank Almighty God that I have Jived to see that day. When I was ,a Democrat I la bored, it would seem, under the delusion that Democracy 'was bated on the principle of human freedom; but the Democrats of the present day are wiser than their fore fathers They have been enlightened—whether froth above or from below, I know tot—with the idea that the corner. stone of Democratic institutions is slavery. To me thin thought is so abhorrent that, in itself, it would have been enough to drive me from the party whioh. so lond'y and unblushingly proclaimed it. , :But theleis another cause, which to operating a great change in political opinionis. The events r transpiring at the present day go deep .te the very foundation of our intnitutions ; they touch the diverging point between the old Ftdoral and Democratic parties. They prove to no that the disoiples of Jefferson were wrong In their an ticipations of danger, from the powers granted to the Federal Government. And they tell in a voice of thun der that Hamilton was right, when he said that the danger to our institutions lay in the reserved powers of the States. . Fellow-citizens, the r emooraoy prate loudly of their devotion to the Constitution, and express their horror at any violation of its provitione by. the Administration. Passing by the question whether there has been any di reot violation of the sanctions of the Constitution, which I by no means admit, I wouldask my Democratic friends, Whether it is not better, . first, to restore .the Union of these States, before we talk about the re. establishment of • the Conetittitiorrwhich wae framed for their govern . - .ment. We must remember that the Constitution, as it -'now stand?, was the result of a corupromiee. - Tbe North ern Statee,would. not have framed the present Constitu tion, neither would the Southern ones. The Constitution was from d for the government of a united country ;.it was establithed to regulate the intercourse of one seotton with another, whilst united as ono people ; but it never was designed to be obligatory :ripen the citizens of one section of the country, whilst a third of it was in rebellion Atgeiatt e constituted authorities. This was lett to be regulated by the Military law, which is all-sulliclent for the exigencies of the moment, and when the crisis is past, end peace once more reigns amongst us, then wo will re • establish the .Constitntion in all its integrity, for then again we shall be one people.

[Nnthusiastic cheers.] srEßcli OF COL. FORNEY. Nearly Biz years ago, impelled by a stern sense of duty, and impressed by the .belief that the Administration of Mr. Buchanan had resolved to violate the pledgee upon which It was elected, and to prepare the way for the dis solution of el) Union, I - determined to I eke Isms" with the organization of the Democratic , party. Reared and educated in the.belief, that that party was devoted to the American Union, and profoundly convinced that the teaching. of Ito fathers were beat calculated to preserve this great. , brotherhOod of • Staler, I contemplated the -treachery of Mr. Buchanan as not only a violation of the traditions of the old Democracy, but a deliberate insult to the doctrines wnich had been banded down to us_byr, Thomas Jefferson. If I had one motive more powerful than another to impel me during all these years, It was so to appeal to my old Democratic friends' to correct' and check the heresies and corruptions of the tedministration, to the election at wilt.* they had eontributad so much,' as to prevent the nation from falling to pieces, and to :A my er and secure the triumphant ascendancy of that timebonored party. (Applaose.) • Hence, •whanever , bad the honor , to address the people I sought to sneak to an audience of Democrats • I knew right Wall that the errors and proscriptions of the last'. Administration would be seized by the general Opposition, and would tie used for their 'own idyantagre but I felt that the best way to make the rebuke permanent, and to perpetuate through Ml time the memory of ten unparalleled be trayal of confidence, was to ,flu the Ventooratic heart with a keep and stinging terse of the :wrongs which bad been perpetrated upon thei . Damooratte people. In the whole ritual of the Democracy I could see no such sinister idea as Sem erten. its creel, if it had any a:pm thg, was the largo et toleration of opinion, she freest fre , dem, the stroogest affection for all the 'niftier , * children of men, and, above all, a lasting, religion);\ nnehanging, and idolenrons devotion to the Union, thit one of its formulas advocated or taught any other lesson. [Cheers To-night I appear before (meeting composed of meteor all parties, instinct and alive with the great idea that the precious inheritance bequeathed to net by the homer and sages of the past is in imminent peril, and that'll:a deadliest foe, including those who are new arrayed against it in the battle-field, emblnettimety claim to tight against it in the name of Lemooraoy. Among the fierce soldiere who are now seeking to tate the life of the Be publies *ere is not tone who does not Procleitit that he it a Democrat—there is not one who. while execrating the Northern people; does not reserve for praise and reward the men who will vote against the uncooditional Union ticket on Tuesday next ; nor tethers a single leader of the so- milted Democratic party, here and elsewhere, who does not chef lab a secret, and too often an open, em pathy for the embattled rebellion. [applause.]. It tenet for me to solve this stupendous problem, to explain why it is that the Democracy, from having. been tee great soldier of freedom on this continent, has so far fallen fr..m its high estate. has so turned upon its dazzling , re cord, bas so far confronted the deeds that have made its triumphs an many examples to guide and educate the public mind, as now to be, on the one hand, the armed assailant of the Union, and on the other the deadly and remorseless foe of the Government. It is no purpose of mine to arraign the masses who call themselves Demo crats under this indictment I know well, lilt. Chair man, bow frequently and bow sadly the people of this• conctry and of all countries allow themselves to be. misled and deceived. Our own history abounds with in stances of this troth. 'ln times past we have seen anti masonry sweep over a portion of this Union lice a pesti lence, my fairy Mg and bewildering the most intelligent, and changing majoritiewahnoetln a night. This popular delirium has puzzled the phileitopttereven more than that which we new remember and regret, under the name of snow-Itothinglem ; and at this hour there are living thou seeds of men, who, on the 14th of October, wit! honestly vote 'al; sin et the Government aisd the war, and who, in an other short year, will mourn in sack- cloth and ashes their fatal mistake. They will then see what we see. They will then admit, frankly, to each other, not only the t they allowed themselves to be carried away from a high and solemn obligation, but that those who misled them were no more entitled to the name of Dem.crats than a rebel is entttled to the name of patriot, or a sinner to the name of a saint. I know how difficult it is to break away from the Democratic organi zation. Weak mon, as they confess to the enormities of the Democratic leaders, are terrified at tho idea of re elating them, and so commit themselves to the current,, mall at last they ate brought to a sense of their errors by some glaring, nnmbnakable, and notorious act of shame. Never in the world's history was there a mare causeless rebellion than this; never in the world's histo ry was there a more causeless mid malignant mop ement, than that which le now directed against the war, and against the Government. in the loyal States. What do these Democratic leaders proles, to do? Search through . their speeches and their platforms, and I defy any man to point me to any single practical remedy for our public difficult Me. They witiclse the General Administration; they misrepresent tne ants of 00Pgress ; they magnify the expenses of the war; they appeal to the lowest interests and meanest prejudices in our nature. But can you discover any one thing In all their recommendations that will help the State, encou rage the Freeidera, confound the common enemy, or aid to fire and unite 'he loyal people? Stripping away their professions, they stand before us unconcealed enemies of the State, because they are known to favor the sepa ration of the dtatee ; the adversaries 'of the President, whom they constantly ridicule atd condemn; in close and conscientious blipped:ix with the common enemy, and the active dianthus of that popular unity without which this war cannot be conducted -to a successful cloth. I am sure I do these men no injustice in this classification. Let me make a common sense application of this remark. Of what earthly use would a known Brecklnridge politician be in the Cosi gn se of the United State.? Take any one now running in opposition to the Union ticket, and, with two or three inconsiderable exceptions, they are not only men who can do no good to anybody, but all of whose acts since the commencement of the war, as all of whose expres sions at this very moment, will impel them to do harm to every loyal interest. They prove this by their impeni tence in regard to their conduct from the time James Buchanan turned his back upon his honor, and from the period when Sumpter fell, They prove it by their hypo critical professions of loyalty. They prove it by honor ing a mouth. piece like Francis W. Hughes, who flung the banner of the dissolution of the Union to the breeze in February, 1861, and still keeps it flying, and they . prove It by the still stronger proof that they utter no word of confiderce in any single member of the Government. How can such men assist the Government in this dark hour?.Do they propose to do this by setting up a standard of honesty, covered all over, as they are, with the reeking infamies of the. Buchanan Administration Do they propose to do so by denouncing and weakening the common enemy when they are in sympathy wi,h him? I will tell you what their object is: It is to force a pease upon the basis and understanding that this Union shall at once and forever be dissolved. These Democratic leaders pretend to be the friends of George B. McClellan. took at his splendid appeal to the soldiers in the army, published in the morning papers, in which he calls upon them to stand by the constitute d authorities, in regard to the roost assailed measure of the Administration—l mean the emancipation' proclamation. ' He says; e, The principle upon which, and the objects for which, armies shall be emptoi ed in suppressing a rebellion mast be de termined and declared by the civil authorities ; and the Chief Executive, who is charged with the administration of strains, is the proper and only source through which the views and mows of the Government can be made known to the armies of the Union." And again that 44 It is the highest duty of the American soldier steadi ly and earnestly to support the autitority of Me Govern ment" [Lond applause.] How do thine Democratic friends of McClellan respond to tbie appeal Let their acts answer for them There is not a statute enacted by the last Congress, and which was honestly intended to strike at the common foe and to aid and fortify the 'Nations]. rause, whether it is the tax bill, the draft bill, the confiscation bill, the emancipation law. the revenue bill, the currency bill—there is not one Which they do not attack and eeek to bring into contempt and dishonor. lem amazed that these self-evident pro positions have not made their rightful impression upon the public mind, and ( shall be mortified and humiliated if they do not prove to have been irresistible in defeating the extrtctations of our op ponente next Timed bY. Proudly and peerlessly as our young commander has borne him self doting all these terrible months, completely as he boa sustained and vindicated himself, he has done no one thing that will reflect so much undoing honor on hie name as this splendid and spontaneous appeal to big troops to stand by the Administration of the Federal G 3 vernment. He and the men who follow him can do this and Sisk their liven against the foe; but our gentlemen of peace, our holiday soldiers, our magnate* who give the law to the Democratic party, and who preach separation.• and Secession, cannot descend from their Pedestals and offer the poorAritute of confidence in the constituted an _thorities. - Ttuning from these Democratic leaders in civil life, when it is contrasted with the. Democratic leaders in mili tary life. While Horatio Seymour - Preschea trailed,' in Nivr York, The ma Francis Meagher, acetates the Ad ministration, and denounces such men as Seymour, in the army. .While French, W.

Which of theee leaders should a true Di mocrat fallow ? Who would not rather take conn eel from a Breckinridge Democrat like Gen. Butler, whose scorn of an armed rebel is only surpassed by his con tempt for an unarmed sympathizer, then of a Breckin ridge leader like William B. Bead Whet Douglas Democrat would not prefer to act tinder the Inspiring ap peal of Gen. John A. Logan, and Gen. John A. Me tiler nand, of Illinois, than to allow himself to be wheeni led into the Breckinridge ranks by a facile politician like James B Nicholson, who seeks to obtain a seat in Con gress by using his past professions of regard for Douglas, while ho disregards- the last advice of that immortal statesman to hie friends, to banish all partisan retain, and unite in support of the Administration in its conduct of the war. Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. Pre • sidept, that nearly all the splendid intellects of the Democratic party fn. its better days are now ar• rayed against the present sympathizers with treason in our midst, and that what Is now called the Democratic organization is officered and led either by discarded old line Nnhige, or by neophytes born of the present excite ment, without a record that is not stained with all the corruptions that polluted the Democracy during the days of James Buchanan'? I need only illustrate this remark by the names of 1 Milt (lass, of Michigan, David Tod, of 'Ohio, Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, John S Henderson, of Illistouri, Andrew Johnson, of Tenneseee ' Daniel S.

The best way to put an end to taxation, to reduce the debt, to atop confiscation, and, it you please, al though that Is not among the possibilities, to arrest emancipation, is to nut an end to this wicked rebellion, to sustain the Government in suppressing it, to hold up the hands of the President, and encourage our generals and soldiers in the held. and our admirals and sailors on the sea, and to vote the.uneondittonal Union ticket on Tuesday next. [Loud and long-continued cheering.] BR. IeCEIIRE'S SPEECH. ' FELLOW. CITIZENS : A deadly, relentless foe has grap pled with the Republic. Its aim is the subversion of con stitutional liberty throughout the continent; and it can not triumph, however partially, withortt striking at the very vitals of order and security, and leaving - as a future fraught with anarchy and despotism. - In such a aids, with the well-being of thirty millions depending upon the issue, the partisan should% be lost in the tah let The man who now seeks to attain a partisan triumph, regardless of the common weal, is weak and deluded, or is a deliberate foe to the Government. When the loyal hearts of tho North shall haVe restored the ne tters to unity and fraternity, and driven treason and its abettors and sympathisers beyond the hope of future power and evil, we can then differ, as • in .times past, as to the - true policy of the Government.
