SIR : Whilst at Long Branch, this summer, I met a
resident, an Old man, who asked me whether Dela
ware was on the east or west side of the Delaware
Bay 1 and in conversation with various men, during.
this contest, I have usually found that they.
wore deficient in geography. And it is not by any_
Matins an evidence of a want of education; but the
active duties of life cover up most of theologies we,
learn at School. It is one of the stereotyped expres
wens with the Peace leaders, "it is better to let the
South go than to spill all this blood," Ste.; asthough

The grand demonstration - of - the -Democratic par
ty,.after.Spyentl weeks,of preparation, tookplace_on
Saturday night; at - Independence Square, to ratify
the nomination_of_Gart-MeCiellan and George H.
Pendleton ? and to celebrate the anniversary of the
adoptionof tie =United States.
The various delegations from the wards were well
supplied with liiiiternriald - dtharinore elaborate
transparencies, and a variety.of ‘ mettoes, as will be,
seen in- this : report. ,:In ) one ofthe delegaiiOns,
small cannon was carried on - a
wagon., The weapon
was fired off at - laterivars, as' the ward association
moved along the streets.-,lt was also fired- off near
sixth and Walnut streets, much to the .. annoy - anis;
of the great mass of thilieoPle Present. There were
many displays prfireytorks,:sueiras rockets, Roman
candles, triangleibloin, wheels; bengola: lights, red,
white, and blue. The stars at times passed like me

art of pyrotechay.-- It was-.twenty-feet wide, and
about forty-feetrhiM.: It was an arrangement of
Of-different celOrS, red, white, and'hlie
prevailing, This was to have been - fired off at ten
o'clock, but it was twenty minutes before.eleven.he
fore the beauty of the scene imparted its brillianei ,
to the surroundings; - It - represented an eagle on
the top,.resting on,the apex of-an- arch, containing
in red, White, iirieblaii fire the'words-:
Beneath.this a likeness of General-McClellan I . p.
peered, the outlines Of the clothing being bluefire,
the liite'of the face white fire, with Yelloar the on the
aboulders. The effect.,as .pleasing. The appear
ance was hailed with the amount; of enthu
siasm. Still under this, or that 'which forined the
base of the display, were the followingWordeln.tri

' A mishap occurred. The whore display 41 went
off," except the word "our," so that the reading of
the motto" was confined to the letters "
. . . ,
' "STAR OF norm"
The word "our" took fire and burned most brilliantly,
in red fire, after 'the eagle 'had taken its flight into
the boundless region of the past, after the likeness
of NicOlellan' and the words below had ended in
smoke, and thus faded from view. '
The processions enlivened the* streets until a late
hour, and were arranged to suoh i - style as to make
the greatest possible show. •
There was not a continuous *cession •of all the
associations ; they approached the place of meeting
by divisions or wards. Some portions going around
Independence Square two or three times, seemed to
augment the numbers to a very liberal extent.
There was an immense number of small paper lan
terns, red ; white, and blue in color, containing the
words " hlcOlbllan and Liberty,” these words being
encircled by an olive-branch wreath.: The following
are some of the principal mottoes, which indicate
the popular voice :
Free Speech, Free Press, Free Figlit, or a Free
Ballot." • . •
A Fair Ballot or a Free ;Fight."
"No Peace Bari be Permanent Without Union."
"Equal - Justiee.” . • • •

. - :.,"say as little about Polities - •es' the Negro.—

"Lost, a Gold Dollar. Two Twenty-six:in Green
backs will be given for its returrilhis Day."'
The next - on our programme is'a 'banner repro.
sentink-a prison; this is labelled "Lincoln's' Bas-
. Another banner represented a big cracked bell,
the clapper broken. This was labelled. "Sewardts
"From the Gulf to the-Lake

and peaCe l " as soon as possible. Lincoln's plan—
War fbr the nigger, subjugation, taes, and 500,000
r
" To wh - orn it may concern."
This motto was a banner , representing n,big, fat
well-fed black man with• a whip in his hand ; beforii
him a white.nran in a suppliant position.
"The Union is our condition for peace—we ask no
more." •
IM3
On a large square banner was the representation
of an eagle strangling a serpent ; on the reverse, in
large black letters, was the following motto: .
" No serpent can live in the cradle of liberty."
"Shoddy & Co." • ;
".Scotch Caps at a discount; Mac's the man."
"This is, n white sizadava country."
"Clear : the track Militias
-
"Little Briitolfixm in her ancient faith; the De-
mocracy of '16." ,
In the Sixth ward there was carried a three cor
nered • lantern; on one of its sides was a caricature
likeness - of Abraham -Lincoln, President of the
United States. The likeness was pretty well done,
so that it could not be mistaken whom it was
intended to represent. The figure's dressed in the
attire of a clown. It portrays the jester in.&
dancing mood. Over his head in black lettering
was this motto,:
"This jCker for President."
One of the,waxds carried four portraits of the fol
. lowing named.: Washington 3 ackson, McClellan,
and. Pendleton. Immediately in the rear of this
. ,
scene were four corn brooms.
. .
~ A bolition philosophy—handeuffs for white men
and Shoulder.straPs for negroes."
-" White,peoplo of the Third ward." •
)3111y.canIt -ring this bell," is the motto. on a
transparency. containing a human figure pointing
to A:big bell borne on a wagon.
THE GODDESS OF LIBBRTT. • •
• There Were in all this feast of lanterns three:
Scenes very remarkable. The first that came under,
oimnotioe was a large ,omnibus containing thirtya
four young ladies of the Nineteenth ward. They:.
were dressed in , white, and some wore wreath!' Of.
roses., Each young lady carried a guidon oontaW.
jug the,name of a Stite. In the midst -of this in-:'
teresting group there appeared one as the Goddert
of ,Liberty. She was very neatly and artistically!
enrobed, but had more drapery. on the upper it'd,
of lier person than the painters usually give to theit
.representation of the mythical form. The Goddess
. sang the Star• Spangled Bannei, the surrounding
members joiaing,in fall chorus. Their voices were
lost in the general noise incident to ii.politleal.pre
cession—such. as cheering, crowing like chickens
firing of Romen candles, huzzaing ,for Little Mao
McClellan, illeClelligan, and a thousand - tither. ex
pressions, as are usual during such demOnstrations.
Thesayoung ladies, towards the Close of. the meet.
ing, were ..introduced on the main stand, and were
gracefully received by 001. James Page. The inter
view between the Colonel and the Goddess of
Liberty was very interesting. .
THE GRAVE , OP THE UNION.
The next remarkable display that came under our
notice,was a. transparency, about six feet by eight
feet.. This was carried in a wagon by the delega
tion from the Seventeenth ward, where a majority
was cast recently in opposition to the soldiers
.voting. This transparency bore as its motto " The
Grave of the' Uatiaa." It was evident that the artist
who did . tlie work paid some attention tO the display.
It represented President Lincoln and his Cabinet
officers in a hearse. This melancholy vehicle was
drawn by the most Prominent generals in the Ame
rican army, now engaged in enforcing obedience to
the laws. The generals were represented as having
the bodies or forMs of jackasses or horses, - with hu 7
. man heads. Expressions, supposed to have ema
nated from the lips of each general, were , painted In
black letters, but not sufficiently 'distinct as to be
readily seen or deciphered. Beneath the figures
were the names of Lieut. Gen. C. S. Grant and
major. generals, President Lincoln and'Cabinet of
• fibers.
. General Grant was made to say, "I rind. roti
THE EIDE THAT PAYS BEST." In the foregiound
were two coffins, one labelld " Union," and the other
" Constitution.),
Another lantern or transparency represented the
figure of a soldier In uniform without fire or side
arms. In front of him was the figure or a femalci,
her head partly bowed down before him; this the
banner•bearer stated represented the. Goddess of
Liberty. The motto on this affair was "no bayonet
exercise."
. .
• The following make up the sum total of the most
conspicuous of the brief mottoes : . .
• 4, Little Mac our nest President' ,
"We will sacrifice our lives in defence of our liber-
ties."
• "Union and peace at all hazard."
" Loyalty without pay."
"General DlcOlellan the soldier's friend."
"Give us back our Constitution."
"The house our father built." •
"Personal liberty and the Constitution."
"State rights." • • : .
"Give us back our old commander."
"Tho Constitution as it la, and the L7nlon as
was." . •
J. H. P
The motto " A fair ballot or a free light" pr ,
♦ailed generally ; it was served up in various forme
to suit everybody,
On the route of the procession we noticed in un
dertaker's shop, illuminafed with wliat wire peph
larly supposed to he." dead l!ghts."....Thil was re
garded as significant of the„9Aylng_out . :7 of „the

There were four stands erected, three within tip
Square, and . one on the stelis-in front of Indepen-r
dence Hall, on Chestnut street. The main staging:
was erected immediately in the" rearof the Haiti,.
and a few minutes after 8. o'clock Alderman Wil•

in our armies, whose lives. are at stake, and it "con

currency that the Prices of the necessaries of life
and depreciates. the wages of labor.; of high protective
tariffsehat leave all prices to the mercy of monopolists,
and their repeated and' emphatic verdicts on these sub
jects had come to be considered the unalterable polies
of the Government. The party in power affected to
concede thire.anddeceitfully yielded up the contest upon
_those subjec:s by styling them " dead issues." ..By
that artful course they overcame• the jeering watchful

Rekshed, That' we are equates' well convinced that

the Union be restored. Through, all its history It has' •
kept in view Washington's declaration that "the Con-
stitution •ws a the remit of a spirit of amity, and of that
'mutual deference ; and concession-which the peculiarity
of our political' ituation rendered indispensable.'' This.
has ever been the' nimating principle of the Democratic
party. By acting upon It. the Union was. kept unim

SPEECH OF HON.- HIRAM KETCEIA.II.,
Hon. Hirai= Ketoham, of New York, witil,then
introduced. Ile spoke as follows.: :
Fonnow.otTizzus I shall not, detain trite:this
evening by any introductory. remarks, lint come di
rectly to the point in hand, and endeavor to;didettsi
It with,aa much clearness and candor as I am able
to do,. You must not expect of a'man past-three
score and ten years of age that' he will deal much
with figures of rhetoric.: I shall;deal with facts and
arguments. The question is, gentlemen, shall Abra
ham Lincoln or Gen. George B. McClellan be our
is ext President lOries of ' , GeorgeS. McClellan;
we want a white man."]. This is the :question we
are to discuss to-night. We "are all agreed upon'
one thing ; that is, that the Union must bo preserved.
[Cries-of ".That's so."] Now, I know there are a
great maneole who say (and I President
Lincoln is am o n g the number) that, believe
the Union must
be, preserved. The
.Constitution defines what the
Union is and must be, and he who tramples upon
the Constitution, and who violates its'-provisions;
and persists in violating it, is a traitor, 'whether hts
name , be Jefferson Davis or Abraham Lincoln.-
Gentlemen, Abraham Lincoln has presented
himself as a candidate to the people of the
United States for the office of Preaident.,There
are a great many men who .will tell you that
you mustn't say anything against the President,
and if you do you are against the Government, and
you are a Copperhead._[Laughter.] When a man
presents himself for te suffrages of thei people we
nave a right to discuss his cause. Tfhave nothing to
say of the President, but I have to apeak of Abraham
Lincoln, a candidate for the next Presidency. The
question is How shall we best preserve the Union 1
[Cries of "Put Little Mac 10.'] I say so too. He is
the unconditional Union candidate. [Cheers.]
Abraham Lincoln is the conditional 'Union candi
date ; he says .that . , Union shall be preserved if
slavery in every State p destroyed. That il3 his
condition ; and now, gentlemen, that we may be
sure upon this point let us refer to his last procla
mation on this subject. Hear the words of Mr.
Lincoln: "To whom it may concern. Any proposiL
tier which embraces the restoration of peace, the
integrity of thd whole Union, and the abandonment
of slavery, and which comes with authority which
can control the armies now at war against this
United States, will be received and. considered by
the Executive Government or the. United States. "
Now, gentlemen, what does that mean? Does it
not hold as a condition for the perpetuation of the
Utoion that slavery must be destroyed before he
will make peace I On the other hand, George
33 McClellan. is an unconditional Union man.
.Ile was born here in the city of Philadelphia. His
Inothtr was a Philadelphia woman. His ther was
a descendant 'of a Whig of the Revolution. He
'sucked in a love for the :Unidn with his mother's

where lilS'ears were greeted - every morning and eve.

has beettab,olls.hed inNewe''Jeltey and Delaware.,
I and it is "the.right, - the , reserved, the originar, the

That's what they mean,- and , I say we are
not ready for that clt. is, true= Mr,. - Lincoln
took his scat under very trying, eirrumstances.
I felt deeply for. his situation. - I would do all I
could to relieve that sitnation. I satin• this hall in
a. convention composed of delegates from' he several
. manumission_societies of the United States, and in
that &invention "were such men as William Ramie,
' Roberts Viiiix; Abrm. Pennook, and-Riebard Peters,
and my opinion on' that subject has never changed
from that day_te this; .but ,I am &what° man ; my
race, and blood have the second ancy inmy. heart,
and they always shalt have.- I will 'do , what I can
for the colored e man in•his place, but - that It not -by

Mine, and we shealitoot besnade a flag-Streaked'and
speckled popediklaork,,
Zvoil s eay,anything. , to wound
the - feelings , :pranymolortea, an - -in the community;
but I stand up -foranzy race-and blood. Inow.come
to the next point, and that is to arraign Mr. Lincoln
for - the conduct of his Administration. I shall do it
fearlessly,. I shall , do it honestly, and if -I 'show that
he is not again entitled to our contrdence•you will
not allow him to taker that-place again: Hircatati
into deice under circumstances of, great embarrass l
ment.• The first Misfortune- to our arrny'was the
battle of Bull Run. I wlll not dwell °Tour country's
dishonor and shame; you , know the result of that
battle. If - we hadfbeen conquerors, instead of eon:
quered, , peace would nave been established and the
Union saved, but we were conquered; and why?' be
cause that battle was prematurely fought. And• why?
because Mr. Lincoln waapressed by his friends oat
side, his zealous Abolition bloodthirsty friend& to
fight that battle. Ho had not the nerve to resist them,
and he commanded the battle to, be fought. .What
wasthe result? Our army fled as a• mob back upon
Washington. • Let us weep over it.- And if the
enemy had known his strength he ' could have
marched - that day into Washington. • That was a
mistake. Is there anybody that says that was not a
mistake?' But the people said: Mr.Ltneoln, this is-a
new and delicate situation and-we pardon you-, and
that pardon would never have been revoked If he
had not been making mistakes ever since. '
When he presents himself as a candidate for the
Presidency it is our duty, as it is Mir -privilege, to
criticise these his acts. - Immediately after •the
battle—withinten days afterwards—George 13. Me
. Mellen was called to command' the army, and he
found it nothing but a disorganized mob, and he
began to reorganize it. He worked night and deli,
and he did organize it. It:was well drilled and
ready, to light, and ho had the affection of the whole
army. He was often pressed to fight, but- he was
not to be-diverted from his purpose tilLhe knew he
was ready.. Let me tell you, George B. McClellan
has &will, and in that respect he is like oldGenertil
Jackson, and, like General Jackson, without the
oath, he has said the Union shall...be _preserveda
What said- Gen. Scott? 'Don't. you fight nor move
till' you are ready. -He didn't do it.'- When he was
ready he prepared to go to Richmond: How should
ho go ? The President hadhis plan and, McClellan
had his three Plans ; they didn'tagree ; what was to
be - done ? I have been a lawyer for fifty years, and
was a volunteer in the army for three menths in
1t12,_ and I don't knoW anything about military
matters, but I know as much.as Abraham Lincoln.
He was a lawyer on the prairies, and a good joker:
.fLaughter.] , Well, he said : General, WS is your
plan and this mine. A. council of war was held, and
they said MoOlellan's was the right plan, and that
was by the Peninsula. Althonghthe President was
=overruled, be got it into his head that because he
was cOmmandeelie chief he should be a general.
The Constitution said he was commander-in-chief,
and he didn't knew how to shoulder a musket. He
was commanderin.chief of the navy; but he might
just as well try to tell Farragnt how to sail his ships
2s to tell MaClellan how to tight his army.
If James Madison bad gone out - to give command
,he would have been laughed at, and he was an able
niaii: ' Gentlemen, President Lincoln never was sat
isfiedwith that decision. ;He brought McClellan
Away from the 'Peninsula, and he has been deter
mined ever since that his plan should be tried. He
.removed McClellan and put in Burnside:and said
' , Row, General; try my plari.” He did so, a,ndWitat
Was the result? He lost from fifteen to .twenty
thousand brave men.- He then said to Gen. Hooker
titry'my plan." He stepped ;into- Burnside's • shoes
was whipped at Chancellors's - 11lb andloet 'fifteen or
twenty thousand more men. Then he saps to Grant,
"you: area major_general and a good commander,
suppose you try Richmond by the way that I pro.
pose." o , n..Grant said—and I now state to yon a
fact which' I have on such good authorlty.tha.t.l. af
:firm the fact to be so- 1 .1" wish to' attack Richmond
by,'way of James river and City -Point." He was
Overruled by Linc‘ln and Halleck and compelled tz

• “Never !"] ' It; is time new that we- use groat free- •
• dom of speech. •The actionle-the President's. He
is.responsible for the loss of these men, and, wemust
hold• him accountable. McClellan went down -to
the Peninsula, but before - he went down- it was der
termined what number he should take with him; and
that number was agreed upon, for, he knew that he
was fighting the enemy on their own soil and behind
.their own entrenohnsents.. After it was all agreed
upon' about the number he should have, about
•the first of April of 1862, the President said: •
General,.l must take • Blenker's corps away
'from you. - Why so? • Oh, I don't know, there 1
;Is a great - cry about) Fremont 'wanting 'men,
but I shall take no more away from you. Well,
"downldeCiellan goes to the Peninsula. When he '
Aarrives at Yorktown he hears that McDowell's force
Asi.not to be sent down to him. In that the Presi
t dent:broke faith with McClellan, and his force was
, thereby reduced to 60,000 men, And why Wee he
deprived of McDowell and his forces ? Because the
President' said it was necessary to' have them to de
fend Washington. Gen. McDowell himself said he
- could do no good at Washington and he wanted to
go to Richmond. Lincoln thereby, gentlemen, de
prived McClellan of taking Richmond and ending
the war. If 'the President wanted men to defend
the capital there were thousands here in the North
ready and anxious to go to defend it. I don't know
that. Lincoln wanted McClellan to'be - deleated,_but
those around Lincolu'did.• They • didn't want
McClellan to take Richmond and end the war.
' The blood and treasure spent from that time to this
. is' chargeable upon Lincoln , and his advisers. 'I
. could prosecute those matters farther. .I now come
down to the Second battle of "Bull Run - and Antie
*tam, where. McClellan prevented an- invasion- of. 'Maryland and some _off the cities of your interior. ,
.Let us colic to the main point' in hand. We 'shall
have to fight hard to defeat Abraham. Lincoln. Very

Fellow-citizens, 1 speak with no fear of power,

out, a large majority of the people of Tennessee,
Kentucky. Louisiana, :and Maryland were opposed

voice of the ballot-box They believed secession was
madress in policy; in war it was a crime. They
stood by the law and the Constitution. What were
the prouilses made us 1. Sirs, Abraham Lincoln ,
never made a'promise but to break it:; [applause
never made a single effort to maintain law, .or to
protect the people after he had deprived them of all

What is revolution? It is resistance to the law;
and in that attitude Jeff Davis stands to-day. ' His
Confederacy was organized for the. purpose of over
throwing this Government. - Ltnooln tried to meet
the issue. He knows men came to his call in a far
greater number than he wanted. You may talk of
'the populace springing' to arms with wild ardor.

•We rested in our career of empire—an important
,- of• the-rebel country Iwas, ours.,. In the
summer of 1861 we-were flushed with our prospects
'tifsuccess. • The rebels were beaten, and had lost a
sgreat part of Kentucky; and in Missouri,-Tennessee,
- and Louisiana the rebel power was on its way to
:disintegration. Now; in 'the midst of the general
7rejcliCiDgS. of. tha time I went to the State of Ton-•
'nevem with Special instructions from Mr. Lincoln,
to make them certain pledges and promises. I went
in 1862, and men and women from fifty miles around
came to meet me. I made to them proposals found
ed on the assurances of Lincoln and the orders of
McClellan and Buell. More than 7,000 of my neigh
-hots', in ten days took the oath of allegiance,
, glad of the chance, and went home, believing that
this war was over. • Mr. Johnson,_ candidate for the
Tice Presidency' on the 'Abolition ticket, went to
Tennessee. He made out a programme, and pre
-tended to offer a full amnesty, to be granted - on con
7dition.of affiliation to the Union.. This the people
of the State accepted. [Here the auditory com

-.the amnesty of Mr. Lincoln. , The. State sent
ten thousand, and more soldiers into Ihe•Federal

the issues of the war, against which the military
forces of the country had been- directed, to "meet
armed rebellion, and commenced• blotting out some
01 the States from the map of the world, changing .
the entire policy of -the war, thus making, the war, •
from being a war for our liberties, an unholy:war
-a war upon 'the Constitution and the Union of the
States. - Now, gentlemen without going : further
. into details, instead of following the course he at
-first pursued; he adopted a new line marked 'out by
. a political psuty. I will mention that hew, only a:
week before, his satrap, Andrew Johnson, with a few
little lackeys ,proceeded to subvert the State Govern-'
ment,to throw away the results of hleCiellan'a order,
• and forbids them to vote unless they will take oath
'that they will oppose the Chicago- platform. They.:

.Though it, .would be imprudent to. Predict the ft&

tency andiniportance: Whatever may be the issue
of the political movements now in progress,- whether
Mr.. Lincoln be re elected with his old platform;
or with a modified and conciliatory platform;
whether he be , defeated and a peace Democrat
chosen, or a war Democrat, or arr.armlatice and
_convention Democrat, who will shape hls.course ac
cording to, the turn ot events, the present Phase of
national Opinion will be . equally remembered as re
markable. Perhaps the Virsinian campaign_woald
not have , been suffielene in itself to disenchant the
North, :and depreciate the ourrendy another, third
of its value within six months, if it ,had not been
that the Ndith was already prepared to anticipate
the werst. Gen.- Grant's - failure :rather strength
ened former conclusions than produded an original
change in the popular views. But though-the ten.
.dency has been peacewards for a long time, recent
events have increased the movement, and made it,
it would - seem, almost general. No one can say
how far it will extend, or. what effects It will pro
duce. But the whole Northern people are at least
discussing the propriety of some negotiation with
the, enemy„ They may doubt the possibility of re
conciliation ; they 'may consider teat they are too
far pledged - to - a certain policy to give way; they
nay believe that two confederations cannot remain
in peace on the same continent, and that the - warTif
now ended, would begin again before they are many
years older; they may think the difficulties insur
mountable, or look with shame onthe concessions
.demanded ; but with all this they discuss the ques
tion. and allow themselves to ask-L." Shall there be
a:rmistice 1 Is it possible to renew the Union by
common consent I What would be the consequences
of a peaceful separation, and could the ill•effects of
it be prevented by any kind of international tree-
Mal"
Clearly this . is a great ohangelaom the temper
which prEvailed a year ago, when the War Chris
tians thundered - on every platform, and no man's _
liberty or, goods were safe if he raised his voice
against the dominant party. There is, after all, no
- despotiam possible in such a country as America,
•except 'the despotism of the majority. President
Lincoln could only dispense with the Constitution,
Mr. Seward could only touch his tivo bells, by-which
at one instant he was able -to imprison a man in.
Maine and another in Kansas, because the mass of
the people really believed in the war, and were wil
ling that their leaders should carry things with a
'high hand. As long as' the' Government was sup
posed capable, of crashing the- "rebels,a Mr. Lin
coln's dictatorship and tar. Chase's; credit- system
had the adhesion of the great mass 'of the people,
and opposition was stilled by.their general acquies
cence. 'But now the lack of success which hoe-at
tended the Federal operations takes away trona the
overnment the authority on which it could rely in
-transgressing the letter of the law: There are so
many ready to find fault that it la .impOsaible to re
press criticism. '
Of course the interest of the diEcuision is greatly
increased by the practical consequences that may
flow - from it. If. Mr. Lincoln had two or 'tares
-yt era of power left there might be a call for-peace,
but the nation would know that they bad a Chief
Magistrate almost desaotic and solemnly pledged to
war. Bat in six months more Mr.-Lincoln's term
of office expires ;-in three months he will be ren
dered powerless- if a successor of 'adverse views be
chosen. Hence the energy and bitterness of the
contest. The Democrats want 'to gain office, the
• Republicans to' keep it. - . Besides the good of the
country, there are the private" ambitions of nu
- retirees politicians; and the interests of hundreds of
place-hunters. The Democrats desire a President of
their own - party, who Will oust their adversaries from
aevery post of Minor •or emolument, and they see in
thetnereasing desire , for, • peace, or at. any rate for
negotiations] the means of furthering their cause.
The—Republicans; on the contrary, wish to keep
Lincoln ..ina or to substitute for him a man of
their owriparty, and they consequently maintain,
-for the most. part : theexpediency of a war policy.
The letter. from Gen. Seymour and ahe_speeoh 'of •
Mr. Vallandigham maybe taken as the. expositions
of two advocates -:each anxious. to ; influence that
great mass of undetermined opirlion - whicla lies be.
T,ween the two political. parties. GeTl..Seysneur's
one argument is the exhaustion of the. Confederates,
and theampossibility thatt.het csaixesist the -more
populous North.• ButrataHrealdent Davis is said
to have asked, In a recent conversation, Ia it sup
posed that there are twenty millions of people at
the North really determined - to crush, the . Confede
rates It would seem from the accounts' we have
of Federal recruiting and' the enlistment of Irish
paupers as substitutes for the gentlemen -of
Boston that there is no very fervent spirit of
patriotism • left existing, and that the South,.
thoughammerically inferior, may be- able to keep
armies In the field strong enough to maintain its in--
dependence. Mr. Vallandighama speechisaqually,
eloquent on the other side. He speaks of defeated
armies, incessant but useleas conscriptions, and:
ruined finances. The dollar Is worth only 37, or at
cents, and the Confederacy is still unconquered. •
The campaign in Virginia is not the most unfor
tunate part of the war. Stal,worse is the spectacla
of territories wrested from the Federal grasp after
being once held. "Not a foot of aalississiprac: he
sayo, (la ours, except a few miles around: Picks urg
- and Natchez; none of Louisiana:, except about New
Orleans. The* wholefited river was lost by the
failure of General Banks' expedition. . Arkansas,
with slight, exeeptiona, is again in the hands of the
Confederates.. They have regained more in the rear
than we have obtained hy the onward march of
• General ,
Sherman'sarmy." In these sentences Ur.
Tallandigham touchea the weak point of the Fede
ral policy s - and his words can hardly fail of effect.
Yet it-may be thatnt the last moment the Repub
licans will accept 'something of the policy of their
opponents for 'fear of running too much counter to
tne new tendencies of the public.. While the Demo
crats are divided bettieen peace andwar, and no
one can exactly predict the proceedings of the Chi
cago Convention, it maybe that the party in power
— La y, ai r . ra nea an himself --may endeavor to take
• the wind out of their Sails byes accepting the armis
tice and Convention. Strang things have haa.
p „ a a i n A mer ican politics, and in time of war,
when so many good things are to be had, a pasty
will do much to keep place. and power. The end
time will show, but it can. hardly be doubted. that
this is a Tory important period in the politic:: of the
Union.
