Appeal of the National Union Committee to the People of the United States. Headquarters of the 1 National Union Committee; New York, Sept. 9. . The great rebellion, which for more than three years has wrapt tbe nation in tbe flames of civil war, draws near its crisis. Its armies have been beaten, its territory has been con quered, the forts and posts which it treacher ously seized have been occupied and held by tbe soldiers of the Republic; its foreign allies have been detached from its support, and its hostile arm, paralyzed by exhaustion and dis couraged by defeat, is upheld solely by the hope of political victories to be achieved by its allies in the Presidential election in Novem ber heat. - If tbe people in that election sustain the .Government, if they reassert its just authority, and reaffirm their purpose to maintain it by "warso, long as war assails it, the rebellion willbpeedily end. If they falter in this deter mination,, or leave any room for doubt on this vital point; the rebels will take fresh, courage, and prolong the contest. Every, utterance of their organs and .their agents affirms and con firms this position. Every rebel in arms and every rebel in office, every rebel in the States or in foreign lands, every hater of democratic free dom and the rights of min; longs and labors for the overthrow of tbe Admistration, and the expulsion of Abraham Lincoln from the Pres idential chair. In the Northern' and "Western States this hostility has been embodied and organized in the acts and declarations of the Chicago Con vention, gives a silent approval of the rebell ion itself, and.-an open condemnation of the war waged tor its suppression. Without a word of censure for the conspirators who plot ted the nation’s death, it brands with unspair ing denunciation tbe patriots and heroes who defend its life. While it passes in utter si lence the gigantic usurpations of Jefferson Da vis and his confederate traitors—while it over looks entirely, and thus, by just and necessary inference, approves their abrogation of politi cal rights and personal liberties over all that portion of the United States in which they have been able thus far to sustain their usur ped authority, it pours out its wrath, without stint or measure, upon every act by which the constitutional President of the United States has sought to defend and protect tbe life and liberties of the nation, whose executive power is placed in bis bands. That Convention had no worda„o£. exultation for onr victories—no thanks and honors for thel soldiers and sailors who have shed blood to achieve them. While it denounces our Gov ernment for neglect of doty to our “ fellow-cit izens, who are now, and long have been pris oners of war in a suffering condition,” it has not even a, syllable of censure for those rebel authorities who, with more than savage cruelty, and in utter disregard of every dictate of hu manity as well of every usage of. civilized war fare, have deliberately and with systematic purpose inflicted upon these prisoners all the tortures of exposure, of neglect and starva tion, and have offered premiums for their mur der to the brutal guards to whose grim custo dy they have been consigned. And, on the very eve of the most glorious victories that have ever crowned our arms; after three years of bloody, costly and successful war, when three-fourths of the territory originally held by tbe rebels had passed into our hands; at the very moment when the rebellion itself is tottering to its fall, and the flag of our coun try is rapidly advancing to its old supremacy— the party represented at Chicago demands that “ immediate efforts be made for a cessa tion" of hostilities”—a step which would in stantly arrest our conquering armies, and snatch from them the glories of a final triumph ; repeal the blockade, and throw the whole reb el frontier open to the supplies they so sorely freed ; secure the recognition of. foreign Powers," imd either accomplish tljpir independence or ;ive them the ability to fight for it four years onger., ! We appeal to the people of the United States —lovers of the Union and friends of freedom against the consummation of the foul crime against both which the acts and declarations of the Chicago Convention involve. We in voke them not to sanction these principles and sentiments by electing the candidates put for ward to represent them.". We implore them, os they love their country, as they seek-the re newed integrity of its territory, as they desire the peaceful protection of its flag, and the bles sings of its free institutions and its equal laws for themselves and their posterity, mot to- ar rest the blow which isjust,, ready tp descend upon the rebellion nowtottoringtoits t<? giro tbq. reb?U „• tgwuct.l tfrefr MjITATO jloxtmai. strength for fresh conflictsnot to aid those who would aid them in overthrowing onr Gov ernment, in destroying our Union, in plunging into chaos of arnaohy the great communities of which the Constitution makes one great and glorious nation, and in thus extinguishing, fi nally.and forever, the hopes of all who have .faith in freedom and the rights of man. call upon the people to bear in mind thal;,,,by. whatever sophistries they may cloak their purpose the Chicago Convention neither condemns the actions of the Richmond rebels, , nor. proposes to expel them against their will, or by any exercise of force,’from the seats of power they have usurped. In ail essential re spects the action that Convention took accords ■with the result the rebels seek. Both denounce, witb'nnsparing bitterness, the Government, of the United States; and both alike seek its overthrow. Both demand that the attempt to conquer armed rebellion by force of arms shall he abandoned. And both demand that when the Government of the United States shall have passed into the hands of men oppo sed to an armed defence of the Government against rebellion, the war shall end by peace ful conference of these allied powers. What more than this could the rebels ask or' need for the consummation oLall their plans ? We call upon the people to bear in mind that if they meet.the candidates of the Chicago Con vention, they arrest the Government in the ex ecution of its plans and purposes, on the very eve of their fulfillment, and one-third of a year before any new Administration can take its place. The interval will be one of hope and confidence for the rebels, and of exulta tion for their allies in the loyal States. In the Western States armed preparations have al ready been mode by the disciples and advo cates of secession, to follow the example of the South, and sever the West from the Fed eral Union. The success of the Chicago pro gramme in November will he the signal for carrying these designs into execution, and the 4th of March will dawn upon a new Western Confederacy, aiming at independence, defying the power of the national arms, and co-opera ting with the-slav.o power of the Southern States in. blotting from existence the free Re public of the Western world. We call upon the people to crush all these schemes, and to brand their authors and allies with their lasting reprobation. We call upon them to support the Government, to quell the rebellion, to defend and pseserve the Union. We call upon-them to stand by the President, who, under circumstances of unparalelled dif ficulty,, has wielded the, power of the nation with unfaltering courage and fidelity, with in tegrity which oven calumny has not dared to impeach; with wisdom and prudence, upon whichsacoess is even now stamping the surest and final seal. His election will proclaim to -the world the unaltered and unalterable deter mination of the American people to quell the rebellion and save the Union. It will strike down forever tho false hopes and'expectations of the rebel Government, and proclaim to the people of tho rebel State’s that their only hope of peace lies in abandoning their hostility to tho’Qovernment, and resuming their allegiance to the Constitution and the laws of the United States. We call upon the Union Committees and the Union Leagues, and apon all loyal associations in every State, county' and town, to perfect their organizations ; to infuse fresh vigor and activity into their operations; to canvass care fully and promptly their respective districts; to circulate documents and newspapers con taining just and forcible expositions of the merits of our cause; to combat by assemblages of the people in public meetings, by conversa tion, by letters and personal appeals, and in all just and proper modes, the deceptive and perilous sophistries of the agents and political allies of the rebellion. Let them be on their guard against the arts of corruption and of intrigue which will be brought, with unscru pulous desperation, to bear upon them. The rebel Government, and thoso foreign Powers imost deeply interested in our destruction, could well afford to expend millions in over-' throwing this Administration, and placing in power the nominees and representatives of the Chicago Convention. . The ikies are bright and full of promise.— The lion-hearted citizen soldiers of the Repub lic match with steady step and unfaltering purpose to a speedy and glorions victory. The heart of the people beats true to the Union.— Every triumph of the Union arms over rebel troops arouses afresh the courage and confi dence of Union men and chills the heart and decmaies the ranks of the submission seces sionists represented at Chicago. A Union vic tory in November will end the long and labo rious strife. It will paralyze the arm of rebel lion. It will disperse its armies, destroy the hope by which the despotism at Richmond now holds its subjects in bondage, release the" people of the Southern States from their enforced disloyalty, and give them again the blessings of self government within the Union and under the protecting Constitution and flog of the United States. It will enable our own Government to exchange the weapons-of war for the counsels of peace; to relax the stern control over public action and public speech which a state of war renders unavoidable ; to restore our financial system, to dissolve allmili itary courts,and hand over again to the civil tri bunals of justice the punishment of crime and the preservation of public order, and to restore to thoir firesides and their homes, clothed with honors, and to ho held in everlasting remem brance, that great army of bur citizen soldiers who have bared their breasts against armed rebellion, and won the imperishable renown of saving the glorious Union for which their fath ers and brothers died. . Signed by the Committee. Henry J. Raymond, Chairman, Missing plank in the Chicago, copperhead platform: Resolved, That the Democratic Delegates, in this Convention assembled, tender their sincere thanks to His Excellency,- Jefferson Davis, for the patriotic and fearless manner in Which he 'has madewat upon the of tiacoln,,, , . <,v The nomination of General McClellan by the Chicago Convention is a matter in which-lead ing Union men take almost as much interest as the Democrats themselves. would prefer McClellan to any other man as an opponent in the political race ; not only because they be lieve him less popular than many others that might be named, but because his nomination would greatly simplify the debate. McClellan is vulnerable on all those points which have .been relied npon by. the opposition for making enemies, in Mr. Xinooln. The principal ground of hostility to the pres ent administration is undoubtedly its connec tion with the war, which so many “ Democrats” regard not only as needless, hnt as unholy arid atrocious. They assumed, with Buchanan/ in the beginning, that the general government had no'right to “coerce a State,” and that every step taken in that direction was an usur pation and an outrage. Now General McClel lan volunteered the use of his sword in this war at a very early day, and he has never since ceased to maintain its lawfulness and necessity both by words.and deeds. How the “ Demo crats,” then, particularly the peace faction, can consistently assail the administration for its adherence to the war, and yet bold up McClel lan, who is no less strongly committed to it, we do not see. Every word they shall utter in condemnation of the one may be retorted upon the other; both candidates, indeed, will he in the same boat, exposed to the sama storms of abase to the same missiles of criticism. This will be no little advantage to the Republicans, who arejiow obliged to take the’ exclusive re sponsibility for tke actual condition of pnblie affairs. Again, some of the, most obnoxious mea sures of the war—those which have perhaps excited the severest opposition to it—have been approved and defended by General McClellan. We all remember the howl of indignation with which tho democratic journals met the conscrip tion, although they had themselves clamored for it for more than a year. It waa denounced as tyrannical, unjust, un-American, barbarous, and disgraceful, with so much vehemence, that in this city a formidable riot was raised against it, which mob cheered for Jefferson Davis and General McClellan. Could they have known at the time that McClellan was the very first of onr prominent men to propose a resort to a draft fln August of 1861—jbst a month after the battle of Bull Run—when volunteers were pouring into Washington by regiments and brigades, he wrote to the President as follows: Washington, August 20,1861. “ Sir ;— I have just received the enclosed dispatch in cypher. Colonel Marcy knows what he says, and is of the coolest judgment. I recommend that the Secretary of War ascer tain at once by telegraph how the enrollment proceeds in New York and elsewhere, and that, if it is not proceeding with ; great rapidity, drafts he made at once. We mast have men without delay. “ Respectfully, your oh’t servant, “ George B. McCee££an, “ Major-General, U. S A.” The following is a copy of the urgent note of Gen. Marcy, his father-in-law and chief of staff; " I nrge.npon you to make a positive and un conditional demand for an immediate draft of the additional troops you. require. Men will' not volunteer now, and drafting is your only successful plan. The people toill applaud such a course, rely upon it. I will be in Washing ton to-morr#ff. B. B. Marcy.” But worse than the draft even, in the sight of these patriotic “ democrats,” are those ar bitrary arrests that have done so much to weaken the Administration. How they have thundered against them night and day as breaches of the constitution, infringements of jthe sacred liberty of person, and a reckless overthrow of all the safeguards against despo tism which our fathers erected as the. rights of the States. Nevertheless, the most high-hand ed, arbitrary, and exorbitant of all acts of the kind—the seizure and imprisonment of the en tire legislature of a State, of the sovereign State of Mrryland—was ordered and to a cer tain extent executed by General McClellan.— Banka was at that time in command at Balti more, and as it was suspected that the mem bers of the legislature might take measures to carry the State out of the Union into the Con federacy, McClellan wrote to him in this wise: [Confidential.] Seadquariers Army of the Potomac, 1 Washington, Sept. 12,1861. ‘ i “ Maj.-Gen. N. P. Banks, Tj. S. A.:—Gene ral ;—After full consultation with the Presi dent, Secretaries of State, War, &c., it has been decided to effect the operation proposed for the 17th. Arrangements have been made to have government steamer at Annapolis to receive 'the prisoners, and carry them to their destina tion. “ Some four or five of the chief men in the affair are to bo arrested to-day. When they meet on the 17tb, yon will please have every thing prepared to arrest the whole party, and be sure that none escape. “ It is understood that you arrange with General Dis and Governor Seward the modus operandi. It has been intimated to me that the meeting might take place on the 14th; please be prepared. I would be glad to have yon advise mo frequently of your arrangements in regard to this very important matter. “ If it is successfully carried out, it will go far towards breaking the backbone of the re bellion.

It cannot bo said that ho wag merely carrying out the orders of his superiors, for he appears to have suggested the plan himself, merely “ consulting’' the President, about it and lending it. his warm and earnest approval. His anxiety to gat it dona with complete suc cess, and the importance he ascribes to that success show that his co-operation was more than willing; it was zealous. He seizes those suspected legislators—those representatives of a free, independent, and sovereign State— which was not at war with the nation, with as much avidity as a dO2 catches at a hone. ® jugged them all at a swoop, and there was an end of the matter. Mr. Lincoln's seiz ure of a poor offending editor here and there, or of a peculating contractor now and then, is a pitiful proceeding beside the nabbing of aa entire legislative body. Cromwell's dispersion of the Long Parliament has become historical; it has been both painted and sung; but it waa a tame affair compared with McClellan’s meth od of getting rid of the Maryland Parliament. His “ democratic” admirers, especially those who are champions of State rights, would do well to put the scene upon their transparenciss and banners. It would make an extremely picturesque aad effective emblem of political consistency— K. F. Evo. Post. How Saji Mills Plated City Landlpbd.— Were you ever in Coudersporfc? Here iji & de scription of the place. It is a village contain ing two hundred souls (i. i., if every human biped has a soul), and is situated between a a clump of alder-bushes and a noted frog-pond. But to my story. In times of old, there resi ded in said village a hotel-keeper, who, for convenience, we will call Sam Mills. Now Sam was an excellent landlord. Many miles have travelers gone out of their way to stop .with Sam. His only failing was his love of city style. Having returned from the city, his little one-horse tavern was dull. He waa on the point of closing, when, horror of horrors, several city gents drove np to the door. Hav ing no waiters, Sam was nonplussed. Thera happened to be an old rum customer, known as Pus IT , lying around, and to him, Sam, in this dire necessity, applied, telling him, if would aqt on this occasion, his whiskay-bill would be nix for the next month. Pus readily consented j and, dressed in one of Sam’s cast off suits, he presented himself at the dinner table. »The guests were seated, when up steps Pus with: “What will yon have, gents? We have ham, ram, lamb, sbeep, mutton, codfish, and venison." Suddenly in comes Sam,:with: “ Here, Pus, you go to the bar." The joke .was too good to keep. If you vyant to start fun, ask Sam how he likes to keep city hotel. —Mihcaukie ( Wit.) Democrat. George H. Pendleton the candidate of the so-called Democratic Party for the Vice Presi dence ig the bosom friend of the traitor Val landigfaam with whom he has resided most of his time during bis congressional career. Ha is a Tirginian by birth and but for his loca tion, having been in Cincinnati, would no doubt be in the rebel service, where his relatives are at the present time, fighting against the Old Flag. His abilities are of the most ordinary character, and.but for the influence of his dis tinguished friend, Tellandigham, would never have been dreamed of for the positionfor which the Copperhead Convention has nominated him. He is an open and avowed enemy pf the war, and has invariably refused to vql# men or money to carry it on. In a few words, he is a copperhead of the vilest and moat abominable stripe. How these Traitors Love ( ojtb Another I —That the traitors of the South and the trai tors of the North understand each other well, we suppose every loyal man in the country, whether North or South, by this time knows and feels. The Chattanooga Behd, of a recent date, seeming to fear that there might be yet some one so blind as not to babble to " tee it/' spoke in this wise : We admire McClellan, and we admire Buell also; ws admire Yallandigbam more than all, because he was against the war at the start, and has kept hie faith ever since. Any Northern Copperhead paper would just as cordially eay; “We we admire Beauregard, also, and we admire Jeff. Davis more than all because be was for slavery at the start, and has kept his faith ever since." McClellan vs the Platform. “ Weak as your platform is,” exclaimed Mr. Long, at the Chicago Convention, " looking In some degree to peace, as it does, in God's name don't place upon it a man who is pledged to every act against which your platform declares."— What does this mean ? Ben. Wood insists that the platform and the candidate mean peace; Mr. Long admits that the platform means peace, bat that the candidate means war I There must be a doubt somewhere.— The people will solve the doubt by electing. Lincoln and Johnson, who stand upon a plat form that is not liable to a construction like that of the Chicago abortion. The two State# that have thn# far voted this year have done better than they did in; 1863, when the Union men carried every loyal State except New Jersey. The only change thn a far in elections to the next House of Repre sentatives is the loss of the only democrat who has had the chance of going before the people. Sach are the signs of the times I When Gen, Fremont was nominated for the Presidency he resigned hia Major Generalship and stopped drawing pay from the national treasury without rendering service in return. We have not heard that Gen. McClellan haa followed hia good example. Tallandigham was a member of the Commit tee which framed the Chicago platform. Ha was to have been chairman, but was persuaded to yield to Guthrie ,from motives- of policy] But he wrote the platform. The. statement' it made on the best authority.
