THOMAS, Chairman. The Credit of the 'Nation we. The Sncees• of the Copperhead Candidates for Presi dent Log Vice. President. When Jeff. Davis and his associates in treason were arranging , their plans for' the precipitation •of rebellion, their first object seemed to be the destinettion of the credit and resources of the Government: Between the copperheads who assembled at Chicago to mature and harmonize their plans of action, and the rebels who first met at Montgomery, Ala., to develop their system of government in order to antagonize the national authorities, there is an amazing similarity. The first object of those in the NOrth who now Wag• onize the Government, is to ruin its credit. For a long time the Detnooratio leaders have succeeded' in concealing.their real intentions, but occasionally some of their blatantfollowers or associates will divulge the truth. For in- . stance,- at one of the'copperhead pOw-vows'n Chicago preliminary to the Convention, a Col. Stambaugh, of Ohio, said, in a loudly ap plauded speech, that,:‘When this war is over, he would not give a pinch of ,snuff for 'the fi-20s and the 10-40 s now hoarded by the rich:" In any other country, such kind'of talk about national securities would be called' the 'rank est kind of malignant treason: Hera it is only "freql• speech",and "Demoeratic ..opposi tien,"i. —This 'narrows the question . cloiVie to ~e proper oOmpase.. 'All over the led, the.eredit of the Government is as dear to the people as the national glory is saored'.. Hundreds of thoustirtdit of people have invested iheir harid earnings an-the securities of Government,the. 1 with the e and patriotic motive of :corn' tribating tt t t o; the` of the national ti \ ...ii authorities. w , ese investinenta were made to seonre comf for families in case ' of the ddith of their nat , 4 protectoral.-made , 'to. support old age, art to keep from pauperism those who 44:Pal id. their yonth in honest indusl4r. , Bat what saf the Deincioratic lecaders - Millt6se pointi? :Elect George, 8.., hi Qiellan Pr,2#i::-, the.dent—Letioe' Treasary in ,the - . control,; of. the DeMobraio Pilrty,` - iiitd:'the:-.nationafdebt will be rsialated, theliaticiA.9-i944,0 b 3 :o‘ rupted. and those who depend upcin its laotror rednoed to beggary. This is no Tinley 'picture, It is the truth extracted from-Ahationfessions of the more desperate eoppeiltelds; co' that any man who has a dollar invested in . the na tional securities, has a direct interest in the defeat of 'such plans of repudiatiort. What's the Differeame flomething of the old cunning of the Dem ooratio leaders showed itself at Chicago, in the nomination of George B. McClellan for the Presidency. For three years the pol icy of the ear-who contrcil thwriertherityritig of the Den4ratio party has been to oppose the war—to 'einbarrass the Government while• conducting it for victorious 'ends—and, by a systein secret organizations, to prevent en- , listmenta. The record shows that the ' ' great mobs which sent a thrill of horror through New TOrk a year ago, and which destroyed many innocent' men, and gave to the flames much valuable property, were the , o eation, di rectly; of the Demoinatio leaders, organized and led by their creatures, excited and in tensile& by the secret agents of the Davis government, aßtsdfiresied by:,GovemorSey mour as his friends. In fact, every organized movement to interfere, with,the L draft,and pre vent its operation, issued . , from the Demo cratic party. • The war forlhe Union was re garded as a'drusade against Demobracy, be cause the struggle involved the safety of a vital element of modern Deinoaraie Strength; slavery... Yet in, the face of these facts, the DerMicratie leaders exhibit their old cunning by attempting to control trio their oivn use the prestige which the success of oar arms has cre ated for military uteri,. by* . nomination of a soldier for the Presidency. They first, in their platfOrm;denorince the great 'object of the war —averse the motives Of iliodeliklid On engaged in the conduct of the war-=and 'then,, on the heels of such unconcealed treason, • put up a , man for the highest office in the gift of the Americtus people, whose only znerit,is his pre sumed military popularity. covert deeds with an evil intention in view, the ex pose of the sioater objects of this trateiadfig ' m follows close on its passage of mischief. That platform denounces •the system of conscrip tion now in operetisinto.nu the,decionktmd ranks of the army, wit23ltt I,,fet§rd . pro leis,, that Xiesa-.George /14.)40010*. qizinol 4 4. 4 /' *Atli arifeehonl4liCenfiglietyf the 'Midst' of A* edeate d Vga l n?ja lla * 44i , Arbitrary sallootatos with which the semi C dare seektikr-stititte , Ike sostiosisiOna of the ignorant, But heri Man 44littliey 1 welt fault, and their platform of princiPbM'comes in direct conflict with the e43n4ieffons of theirieandidate for the Presi- Georgelloutaop. and put into-operation-tine'Rtery;• system ~insisting that it was imposaitge fob the mdrtary autbori ties twachtive ' , Access Unless those , who con trolledthe army were empowered to cope with all sorts of,enerties. Emancipation is char acterized as odiousVthe` great body of the American people. On this string the Demo cratic leaders hive to_aoltieve their main suc cess. -But here, again, - these demagogues are in a quandary. Befor4 the proclamation of emancipation was given-to the world, Mr., Lincoln watricandid enouglioand took the wise precaution to consult not '4lTiis civil advis 7 era,' but to submit the measure to thkues tary leaders whose duty it would become to enforce BA 'Major thiSieral George B. McClellan unequivocally and emphatically approved Of emancipation as a policy due to the sublime objects of the war, namely, the perpettuttion of i a free government and the safety of a Union originally organized for the advancement of freedom. These are histori cal facts. George B. McClellan is committed to the policy of Military arrests, The draft,' and eman c ipation--and while he thus stands .on' the record, he al4o oCcupies a place on a platform which is radically, averse to all these great measures. Between Mr. Lincoln and M'Clellazi there is no difference on these point's of vigorous'' policy to crush the rebetlion. But there is a difference be tween the two candidates as to the policy which they will enforce when in the exercise of Executive power. Mr. Lincoln will carry into operation, the convictions' of his soul and the dictates'of his r iatriotism. 111'dlellan is .pledged now to ignore.his own honest faith in what is right, to obey the behests of party and carry out the villainous schemes of the desperadoes who offer him as a reward tem porary civil power. We ash the freemen of the land to ponder these fact.: We ask all honest men, all who love their country and are solicitous for its permafjot and victorious peace,, to reflect that upon their votes the des tinies of the Union now depend. • X.lllll. it before the, people, that ?4r. 13enja 7 min, Jeff.
