Does this look lYiesfrs. ullnndio-iium, Wood, Scvtnour, 1'en- dleton, Long, limns. Voorhers, und their surrouiiders, Noith and South? Let us see what their platform and their candidates mean : The war is to be carried on or is it not ; if not t'.ien a disgraceful and dishonorable peace, which w ill be no peace, and w hich 110 trun man wants, ii to be the result. Or, if curried on, then bolh plat form und candidates arc pledged to the dis bandment of two hundred thousand colored men, now doing duty as soldiers or serving in the tinny, their places to be supplied either by volunteers, at the expense ol I11111 dreds of millions in bounties, or by a draft, which is the grent ground of complaint by the opponents of the Government. ' Nay, more, if either the Chicago platform or McClellan's acceptance means anything, these negroes are to lie- returned to their masters to fight or labor on the other side. Does any one doubt, if returned to their master, they would be at once sent into the Uebel lines, where alone such property has any value. Upon the theory of the Chicago Platfiirtn and McClellan's "constitutional rights of States," I think it would "ex haust the resources of statesmanship" to show u-bv tbostt men rIiouI.1 not be returned ,4o their former masters, as indeed, was the practice in General MeClellan s tinny. Still further, does not General MeClellan twice over in his letter mid platform promise new constitutional gtiarranttes to the rights of the South. Is it possible that all tlhe concessions a re to be forced from the North by Secession lit the point of the bayonet ? That which specially 11 fleets the mind of the old and true Democracy of the country in the Ihiltiinore Plat Idi 111 is its declaration us to the slavery. Iu the view I take ot this question it seems unfortunate that sui!i a declaration was made, ns it proves a ttuui bling block to many. Why iitit treat the slavery question ac cording to the fact that slavery dies and is buried wherever our armies march f . to political action can aid, no resolutions of conventions enn hinder that result. The war if prosecuted to the tnd, will accoui-pli-h all that the most ardent anti-slavery man can desire, so that if the war goes on to the bitter end for the restoration of the "Union, thin slavery is no "more, and ull declarations that the war shall or shall not be carried on for the extinction of slavery are lutile, nnd whim: than Useless. The war w ill extinguish slavery whether we wish it I or not. Nay, it has extinguished slavery, I by rendering the slaves worthless. In j Charleston to-day a negro can be bought for t sJHOOO in Confederate money, which sells tor 1 for one in gold, making the value of the J negro sJH'O. And this, too, with cotton at 1 vi,! ) per pound in New York. Before the j war the same negro would tiring $HHM! in ' gold, with cotton ut twelve cents in New I York. I Some different system of labor nittt be ! devised for the Southern country in the tuttire, and pence upon any terms, even tho acknowledgement ol the Confederacy can not prevent it. If I am right 011 this view of the subject and upon this conviction I have acted since I saw the fact in Louissi ana in 1SH2 then what is there in the Baltimore riatform to which Hny true loyal Democrat, who loves his country, and is de termined to fight, if need be, for its intt.-g-rity and honor, can object ? I see nothing.

With this drain upon thctii the end is not fur distant if we will only be true to ourselves. Their only hope now is iu a divided North. This might give them re-enforcemetits from Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri, while il would weaken us. With the draft quietly enforced, the enemy would become despond ent and would make but little resistance. 1 have 110 doubt but tho enemy tire exceeding; ly anxious to hold out until alur the Presi dential election.

It would hu but the beginning of war, with thousands of Northern men joiniug the South because of our disgrace in allowing separation. To have "pence on uny terms," the South would demand the restoration of tlieir slaves already freed. They would demand indemnity lor losses sustained, and they would demand treaty which would make the North slave-hunters for the South. They would demand pay or the restoration of every slave escaping to the North. Yours truly, V. S. GKANT.
