The pitiful Miatehes of slumber which

matiy minds wh"ro and whim does this

remains unanswered. The halls tho sit.

when it was announced that Gen. George

MoClellan is tho man for tho times.
Tho Deinooraoy in the West is united to

Tho Western peoplo aro tired of war,
thoy havo seen enough of their bravo boys
slaughtered iu this unholy war.unholy ho
causo it is for tho God ncoursed nigger.
Tho people of tho South are as much for

desire was fo.r peace, and if the Demo-
cracy carried the day this fall and ollbrcd

they would insure us a re-union of the
Slates. They think ''peace and union '
under Abraham Lincoln is an impossibil
ity, for they regard him ai the embodi
ment of tho war as the incarnation of the
source of all they havo suffered, Thoy
have no confidence in him nor have they
reason to bcliovo that he is anything but
ll eir most implacable enemy bo t upon
doing them all tho harm in power. There
is but ouo ponce ho can make, and that is
peace preached hy Philips, Greeley, Sum
ner and himself for years, namely a peace
to be secured on tho basis of disunion.
Tuc peop'o have just reason fur fearing
lor tho result of any ot Lincoln's propo
sitions for an armistice or supi nsiou of
1 hostilities, for the reason, they want peine
with a restored union under the Constiiu
tiou. So let every Duinocrat do his duty

throw us with debt, or to dieiieh our laud
with blood, but they were anim ited by in
loltfl'imee ol the spirit of our institution,
the character of our people, and the con
dition of our land. They thought they
might safely indulgo their passions and
concluded to do so. They would not heed
the warnings of our father, and they did
not consider that inedd.ing begets strife.

now have this Union if it would It has,
by its j reclamations, hy vindictive legis
latiou, and by displays of hate and pas
h'ioii, placed obstacles in its own pathway
which it cannot overcome. It has ham-
pored its own freedom of action by niicon
stitutionalities. It caunot be said that the
failure of its policy is duo to the want of
courago and devotion on tho part of our
armies. Never in the history of tho world
hove soldiers given up their lives moro
freely than havo those of the jinnies which
have battled lor tho flag of our Union in
tho southern states. Tho world will hold
that they have dono all that arms cau do,
and had wiso statesmanship scoured the
fruits ol th.ir victories, to-day there would
have hcou neaoe iu our land. But while
our soldiers have desperately struggled to
to carry our banners south to tho Gulf of
Mexico, even now tlio government dcclaros,
in the edict of a general, that rebellion
discontent has worked northward to iho
shores of the great lakes. The guaran
teed rights of tho peoplo to boar arms has
beon trampled under foot up to tho very
borbers of Cauada, so that Amorioau sor
vitudo is put in bold ooutrast with British
liberty. Thia administration thus declares
to the world that it has no faith in tho
peoplo of the states whoso voto placed it in
power. It also admits by such an edict
that theso people have no laitli in this
administration. While those in powor,
uuhuut reiuutie, sacrifice th blood and
treasures of ouf people, they well not give
up their owu passions for tho public good,
This Union is not held mnitidcr by milita- of tho humblest man iu our land, shull bo
ry ambition. If our political troubles puuiihod by the full vigors of the law. It
could bo referred to the peaceful arbitra- matters not whether ho sits in the Prosi

our Union would bo restored, the rights of
the states would hoguaranteed,tho sacred
tioss of homes and persons bo again re
spected, and our insured judiciary would
again administer the laws of tho land
Lut not the ruin of our country be charged' leaned at tho outset of tho rebellion. Then
to our soldiers. It is not due to their ' their hopes, even for their own personal
teachings or their lanaticisin. In tho safety wcro upon tho noble men iu the bor
consiand official intercourn with them I der state-i, who, uuder circutuctauces the

Deyond all other uieu, they valuo the
blessings of peace and tho virtues of mer
oy,ol geutlciiess and of charity ,whilo tho.e
who stay at home demand tint no mercy,
charity, of forgiveness shall be shown.
Tho history of fanaticism aud tho intrigues
ofplacc-tncu have made tho bloody pages
of the history of the past three years. It
was a soldier upon whom our Savour be
stowed his only conimondatiou when he
hung upon the cross, and Pharisees mark
ed his sufferings- It was a toldicr alone
who discerned his divinity when he heard
him pnur forth a prayer for morcyand
forgiveness for tho authors ol his suffer
ings. This administration cannot save this'
Union, Wo can. Mr. Lincoln views
many things above tho Union. Wo put
the Union lirst of all. He thinks a proe
1 imation worth more than peace. We
think the blood ol our people more pre
cious lli-m the edicts of tlu Prcsideut.
There ore no hinderanccs in our pathway
to Union and to peace. We denund no
conditions to the restoration of tho Union
We are shackled with no hates no preju
didis, no passions. We wish for fratornal
relationship with the people of tho South,
Wc demand for them what wo demand lor
ourselves the full iccoguitinn of tho l ights
of the states' We mean that any statson
our uation's baniur shall shine with one
and the same luster. In the coming elec
tion, men must decide with which of the
two panics into which our pcoplo aro di
vided they will act. If they wish for
Union they will art with that paity which
will hold the Uuion together.

of those adopted at tho Chicago Couven
tion, will show theso to be few and well
defined.

platform, '-That we approve the determin

laws of the Uuited States, and that we
call upou the Government to maintain
this position and to vrosccute the war with
the utmost possible vigor to tho complete
suppression of the rebellion," etc. This
shows Mr. Lincoln to stand before the
country as tho candidate of subjugalion
and war.
The Chicago platform "Resolved, That
this Conventiou does explicitly deolaro as
the sense of tho Auiericnu people tint, af-
er four yearr of failure to restore the
Union by the expernicnt of war, etc, jus
tioe, humanity, liberty , and tho public

nude lor a cessation of hostilities, with a
view to an ultimate convention of all the
Slates, or other peaceable means, to tho
cud that ut tho earliest practicable mo

plank chows Gen. McClellan to stand be
foro the country as tho candidate of con
ciliation and peace
The Rlaek Republicans deolaro them
selves in their platform, "in favor, fur
hcrmore, of such an amendment to tho
Constitution to bo made by tho people in
onformity with its provisions, as .hall
terminato and forever prohibit tho rxis-
tonGO f slavcrv within tho limits of the
jurisdiction of tho United States." This
plunk declares Mr. Lincoln to be, as the
candidato of tht Radical Abolitionists, op-
posed to tho Constitution as it is.
The platform of the Democracy declares
1 ihc Constitution "tho onlv solid founda-"

Tho Baltimoro platform affirms that tho

tho Chicago planks protests ogainst "tho

of the people to hear arms.1' Theso place
General McClellan before tho country as
tho advocate of all the lights of the citi
zen, personal and political free speech,

Mr. Lincoln, then, is tho candidate of

of Peace. The Abolition nomiuce asks
that ha ho allowed to force back the South,
a desolation, by conquest ; tho Democrat
ic candidate asks to win it back, a produc
tive territory, by conciliation.
Tho Djltimore nominee invites the peo
ple to support him in his design to aboli
tionizo the Constitution ; the Chicago nom
inoo invito-) tho people to support him in
his determination to maintain the Consti

Mr. Lincoln asks the country to com

hearts swelling with uudoubting hopo that

Swapping Horses A Little
Story.
The illustrious widow maker now en
throned at the Y hito Houso in Wnshiog
ton,has niado a joke into an uphorifm.and
for tho third time in life calls npthc story
of swapping horses when crossing a slrsam.
To judge from the elongated inouarob'a
sly reference to tho cquino quadruped, onff
would infer that he was born in m stable,
which may account for his unstable char
acter. He says it is a bad tirao to swap
horses when crossing a stream, yet hau
applied his argument to others in lull ro
versal. Wo aro willing to agree with Abo
that ordinarily Hpeaking it is bad to swap
horses while crossing. But when tho
horse insisted that he could cross in threo
months when the keeper of tho horao
assured the country that no one would ba
hurt by crossing when the three mouths
had gone into lour years when insleau of
crossing the st;t m directly ho Iiuj beeu
carried far bmn. ih" .-tartiug poiut, and
lost .sight ot the. landmarks he struck out
for when he has changed his course, and
instead 01" making acres- . stream goos
plunging wildly down inio the sea ol de
struction when a million of his grooms
men bavo been lost by him -when tho
granary of his keepers is exhausted when
every original plan except "my plan" ii
lost sight of, we think it time lo swap.
When crossing tho stream it may he well
enough to hold on but when going dowu
the stream, and each day tho is growing
wider,till its banks are lost in thodistanoe,
il is timo to swap.
But let us see if tho national sexton has
lived up to his tripletsd ideas. When thin
war broke out he swapped the counsels of
Douglas for those of Seward. He swapped
tho vigor of America for tho emasculated
weakness of Spain. Ho swapped Mc
Dowell for McClellan crossing the Poto
mac. Ho swapped McClellan lor Bum
side when crossing the Ilapp ihauuoek
He swapped Burnside for Hooker crossing
the same stream. He swapped Hooker
for Meade crossing tho Potomac. He
Bwapped Meade for Grant crossing tho
Rupidon. He swapped Butler tin. beast
for Uauks the blundwrer uro-sing the mouth,
of the Mississippi. He swapped Bank
for Cauby crossing tho lied river. He
swapped Curtis for Scofiold crossing tho
upper Mississippi,
Ho swapped Hunter
for Gilmore crossing tho bur at OharleH.
