A "VERY POINTED ARGUMENT.
The Chicago Democratic Resolution of Sym
pathy for the Soldier3 Dissected.
Governor Brough, of Ohio, in a speech, a
few days since, at Circleville, to the return
ed one-huudrfed day men, showed up Demo
cratic sympathy in the Chicago platform ibr
the soldiers, thus :
There is a body of men sereral hundred
thousand strong, and with aruis in their
hand., who are endeavoring to uphold the
dear old flag, and to bring us peace by law
ful means. There are four hundred thou
sand men standing upon the fields oi the
United States under its banner, read' to lay
down their lives for the success of the Union
cau-;e. Thre are i'our hundred thousand of
those,- that thee scamps' at Chicago were
angling after. It vrould not lo, therel'ort;,
after passing resolutions of armistice, and
calling back the army in disgrace, to let this
pul go without a itltie sut'ar coating, it is
notorious that the soldiers have good jaws to
crack hard tack with, aiid gullets to get them
down, but they could not swallow that pill
without a little sugar coating ; so they must
pa.vs a resolution complimenting t he soldiers.
I want your papers to print this platform
at the head of your columns to' the election.
I want every man of you to read it, and to
prevail on your neighbors to sit down and
read the resolution in regard ir soldiers.
Coolly consider its language. It is the most
internal in u!t to a body of brave and noble
men ever offered, even by the Southern Con
federacy. For Davis himself has acknowl
edged our men were brave and galiant.
What do these men say?
KcxoltftL That the sympathy of the Dein-.
ocratic party is heartily and earnestly exten
ded to the soldiers of our army who are aud
have been on the field under the flag of our
country, and. in the event of our attaining
power, will receive all care, protection, re
gard, and kindness that the brave soldiers of
the ReptU lic have so nobly earned.
II ow does it, read ?
Ktmtloed, That we tender our thanks to
the noble men in the army, &.c.
N'nt a wiiril of it What, thpn? "That.
vt tender our sympathies" and our pity to
our oiuiei.' in iuc ueiu. itc uu not &ioi iiy-
thvi... Te do not reioice jn their valiant
Hpr.,1 in thf!ir victories. JSo. .AO mail ill
that Chicago Convention ever rejoiced over
a victory yet; nor any man tuat supports
the Chicago platform was ever found kind
ling a bonfire over a victory won by your
arms. Cheers. This is not a bare asser
tion. They do not rejoice in the victories
won. No ; but they '"sympathize" with the
sold ers who are standing under thz old flag,
and on the bartie-i.-l.'. Well, they miijht
as well sympathize with horses that stood on
the battle-field for the horses would care as
much about it as the soldiers ; and the mules,
too. 1 don't know but the mules would
have kicked up their heels at their sympa
thies for the soldiers too.
The language of that resolution is simply
impudent; it is simply abuse. It is simply
cowardly, and means disgrace. With the
outward tongue it speaks in accents of affec
tion, but inwardly of the traitor. "We sym
pathize with our soldiers." Troy are not
then in the glorious cause. We don't re
joice with them that their patriotism called
them forth to uphold that banner. We don't
sympathize with the braves that have gone
forth to die. We don't glory in anything
they do. We don't say their cause is just.
We thank them. We uphf pity them.
Then what ? Don't trust me for these
words, for although they are ground into my
memory, and burned into my brain, I won't
ask you to trust to my memory. "In the
event of our coming into power, they (the
soldiers) will receive all '.he care, protection,
and regard that the soldiers of the Repub
lic have earned." If they come into power
that is what they pre after they will pro
tect and send them to their homes, to sift no
more by taking up arms against their South
ern brethren. They shan't be runished be
cause they dared to fight Jeff. Davis. They
shan't be put into prison there shan't any
harm come upon them they will protect
them and send them out of danger. We
want their votes, and we must be kind to
them. And as the devil promised what did
not lielons to him and what he could not get
to Christ," these tellows promise their pro
tection ; and as that distinguished gentle
man was cast out ot heaven into the lower
resirns, a similar fate awaits the Chicago
fellows. Look at the naked infamy attempt
ed to be practised on the people by the pas
sage of this resolution. They want the or
dinal reader to suppose that they intend to
compliment the soldiers for doing what thev
have done. But they don't mean any such
thing. If they had meant it, why could
they not have said, uWe tender our thanks
to our brave soldiers who have been uphold
ing our flag against armed rebellion ?" They
could not say it, because the traitors did not
mean it ' '
.McCLELLAN'S ECONOMY.
In his letter of acceptance General Mc
CLELLAN speaks of "restoring economy in
public expenditures," in the event of hise
lection to the Presidency. It is to be re
gretted that he did not practice economy
when he was commander-in-chief. All
who have visited the army know that Mc
Clellan was the most extravagant (reneral
that ever commanded the army of the I o
tomac. If he had been continued in com
mand till now, the nation would be bank-

ASSUMPTION OF THE EEBEL DEBT.
The assumption of the enormous rebel
debt is one of the conditions of General Mc
Clellax's plan of making peace with the
rebels. This idea has cropped out at differ
ent times and in various places. It was put
forth prominently 1j3' the so-called rebel com
missioners at N iagara Falls, and it is known
to be entertained by Democratic leaders gen
erally. This is but natural. Augusts Del
moxt, who is Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, and was one of the
leading spirits at Chicago, is the agent in
this country of rebel bond-holders abroad.
The crushing of the rebellion would of course
prove to them au immense mouied loss.
They consequently look to him, by hook or
by crook, to secure them against such a ca
lamity. Mr. Bki.moxt can do this only
through his political position. To make it
a Democratic measure, with the hope that
his instrument, McClellax, may succeed,
is his only prospect. It is, therefore, apart
of the Democratic rebel plan to assume the
debt of the South a nice little sum of some
fifteen hundred millions to go into the pock
ets of foreign creditors, many of whom have
done their utmost to destroy American com
merce by fitting out rebel privateers. Oth
ers have helped the rebels by building ships
to run the blockade, carrying in supplies of
all kinds and bringing out cotton. They are
Mr. Belmont's friends he is their agent
and at the same time the patron of McClel
lax and the leading spirit in the Democrat
ic party. What do the people of this coun
try think of this plan for paying the rebel
debt for enriching our enemies, after we
have spent so freely of our own blood and
treasure to put down this wicked rebellion?
SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
We shall not be surprised if the South a
gree to the abandonment of slavery pnonrr
than the Democratic party. Even now,
General Can NX, who fought and bled for
the rebellion, is an emancipationist and in
the Union, while M"Clellax, Seymoi u.
Vallanimgham, Wood, Woodward,
VoumiEF.s. SIakres, ajid other such '"ex
pounders of the Constitution," are the con
servators of slavery, and more or less dispo
sed to take sides with the rebellion. We
shall not wonder, seeing that the sens of
rebel planters and the increasing ranks ,ofi
.... ii uku ail. 5U "tlJOl OCti uiy
opposed to the resurrection of slavery, if
the Democratic party yet learns its bitterest
lesson from those who were formerly reb
els. The moral doctrine of the Democracy
is incontinently absurd, and far Iwihind the
age. It is strdnge that, with all its partial
ity, for the Southern side of politics, the
Democratic party has not yet recommended
to the South the auiq method-' of "concili
ation and forbeanmce" which it has urged
u pon the North !
THE DIEECT EOAD TO PEACE.
The only road to peace, the only direct
route, an I safe to travel, is that taken by
our armies. It will surely lead to peace in
the shortest time, and is the only one loyal
men can take.- W'e hear men talking of
peace, as though it was settled that all Mr.
Lincoln has to do is to stop lighting and go
to negotiating, as though the rebels were he
beseeching to come back and were waiting
for an opportunity to do so. So far from
this being the case, every declaration from:
Richmond is to the effect that the South
will not consent to an armistice, and does
not desire peace without independence. It
is folly to talk of peace with the South un
less you are prepared to accept her terms by
granting her independence.
It is perfectly evident, therefore, that,
there is but one direct road to peace., which
is the one taken by thr: armies. e mean
an honorable peace. It is true that peace
can be obtained by surrendering to the reb
els, and the first "step would be an armis
tice. AU the talk to the contrary is politi
cal clap-trap in the interest of the rebels.
The Bombardment of Charleston.
It is reported, through deserters who re
certly came into our lines, that the city is
suffering to a very considerable and serious
extent under our present bombardment.
The 1 00-pounder rifles have now attained
the proper range, and throw shells two blocks
beyond Calhoun street, in the business heart
of the city. The ranjre of the SO-pnunders
was not to reach enough far beyond the"bum
ed district," and the present 100-pounders
1 , . 1 1 1 .
were suostnuicu wiin uiaiwu sueuc.-.
Their range is greater, and the effect produ
ced by the explosion of their shells is im
measurably greater. They have already de
stroyed a number of buildings, and are rap
idly demolishing others in the neighborhood
making it decidedly an undesirable place for
quiet-loving men to transact business in.
The rebels have 23,000 men at work on the
defences of the city, rapairing and strength
ening old works and constructing new ones.
They are preparing for the day of trial
thoroughly ana as well as they may.
How to Help the Soldiers.
An officer in Sheridan's army writes home
to his friends : "Fight against the Copper
headscrush them and by so doing you
icill greatly encourage the army and
make us perfectly sure of success, and that
a speedy one." He is not the only one who
has thst feeling. Said Gen. Hooker, in his
speech at the Union meeting in Brooklyn
last week, 'Tour victories are as dear to us
in the front as the victories at the front are
dear to yon. The victories of last Fall were
hailed with as much joy and as much enthu
eiasui in the army as t hough they had been
achieved by otherar mi es." .
' TnE Chicago Tlatforra asserts that the
war has proved a "failure." The opinion ot
Jeff. Davis just at present on that point
would be testimony decidedly more valua
ble. If the Union war has failed, pray tell
ui what is the Bebel ptwret ?
THE PAETY 0E SUEEENDEE. '
The copjerheads and Democrats are pro
posing, in the coming Presidential campaign,
to conjure with the word "Peace." Availing
themselves of the hardships, discontents and
high prices incident to the war, they hope
to secure a sulficent support for their can
didate by spreading the impression that we
cannot have peace under Mr. Lincoln, and
by promising it, more or less explicitly, un
der some other candidate. The plan is well
devised, and the fathers of it probably could
riot place themselves on any stronser basis.
But it would be a pity, indeed, if any such
wretched sophistry could succeed. There is
no man in the country, probably, more hear
tily desirous of peace than Mr. Lincoln
unless it be General Grant or General Sher
man. The loyal people of the country are,
and, throughout the war, have been eairer
for peace. What then is n eant by the cop
perhead or Democrat when he calls himself
a friend of peace? He means, if he means
anything in particular, that he is in favor
ot' conceding to the rebels the right of seces
sion, or of laying down arms like the king
of Denmark and making such terms as we
can with the enemy. Mr. Lincoln, on the
other hand, is in favor of conqiellitig the re
Ms to lay down their arms, and of forcing
them to make such terms as I hey can with
us. One advocates peace through surren
der, the other advocates peace through vic
tory; Both are peace men, seeking a com
mon object by the use of different means.
If the party of Mr. Lincoln is to be called
the war-party designating it by the means
which it advocates to secure peace then
the copperheads and Democrats should be
called, not the peace party but the surrender
party.
COPPEEHEAD THEEATS.
True to their belief that the American
people are conquered by the rebels, and are
craven enough to ask for terms, the Copper
head orstors and papers hope to frignten
those people still more by threatening them
with civil war at home if the Copperhead
candidate for President is not elected.
This khid of talk comes naturallj'' from
those who wish to compromise with men
who began civil war four years ago because
their candidate was defeated. It comes na
turally from those who belive that the States
ctti2er?s of the United States can not i"
ced to submit to their Government. It
comes naturally from those whose reliance is
not upon the intelligence but the ignorance
of the people; from those who do not pre
vail by reasonable argument, but by appeals
to the basest passions. It comes naturally
from a "Conservatism" which burns orphan
asylums and massacres men because they are
poor and defenceless.
But those gentry sadly deceive themselves
if they suppose the loyal people of this
country are so deeply sunken in degradation
as to surrender their right of voting freely
to any threats of tHs kind. It is precisely
because the Copperheads are capable of using
such menaces in a political canvass that they
will find themselves excluded from power by
the people. For there is not a fool in the
land w ho d?es not see, that, if they threat
en violence when they find themselves in the
minority, there is no enormity of which they
might not be guilty if they found themselves
actually in the majority. Harper's Weekly.
An Original Speculation in Gold.
The New i'ork lst states that certain
merchants and capitalists, known as suppor
ters of the Chicago ticket, are engaging in
an attempt to forestall the gold market, and
raise the price of gold ; and that they have
confided the ojeratioii to a prominent bro
ker, furnishing him with the necessary cap
ital. .The iWsays: "A correspondent,
who gives us this information, sends 113 also
the names of the prominent persons in this
combination, and asks us to warn all con
cerned, that exposure awaits them if their
plot is carried out."
Wrlile Abraham Lincoln has at all times,
and under all circumstances, exerted his in
fluence to procure for the soldiers in the field
the right to vote, George B. McClel.an de
clared in favor of Judge Wrood ward, (Cop
perhead.) of 'Pennsylvania, who decided a
gai'nst the. right of the soldiers to vote!

CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 12, 1664.
VAGAEIES OF PEACE DEM00EATS.
An old clergyman of Philadelphia used to
say of certain members of his congregation
who continually made trouble, that "they
served God as if the devil were in them."
Perhaps a similar remark might not be inap
plicable to our present peace Democracy.
Not only have its members been noted afore
time for a truculent disposition when the oc
casion afforded to sufficient reason bullying
foreign States and assaulting weaker ones
but even at the present time they are nei
ther larnb-like nor amiable towards their own
countrymen. They mutter threats of forci
ble resistance to election results, if the ma
jority should go against them, and even men
ace Mr. Lincoln's life if the people's choice
should fall on him.
In fact, these men of peace are extremely
belligerent towards all but traitors. To loy
al men these pacificators present a face of
flint, aud are savage, unrelenting, vitupera
tive. The3' have no wprd of approval for
patriotic services, however great ; no chari
table consideration for our rulers, struggling
against a mighty conspiracy ; scarcely a word
of cheer for gallant soldiers fighting for the
nation's existence. No ; to secure their ap
probation men must go over to the traitor
ous enemy, as so many of these same peace
Democrats have already done, and fight a
gainst the noble republic which nurtured
them. Then these sucking-doves can yield
fair words and man apologies for every deed
of violence, perfidy or murder, which in oth
er men would be stamped as hideous and in
defensible. Provided men are only traitors,
then are they transformed to chivalrous gen
tlemen. They may fire canister shot on
drowning sailors, as in the White river ; may
combatants fleeing from their burning dwel
lings, as at Lawrence; or put to death a sur
rendered jgarrison, as at Fort Pillow. Few
and gentle are the comments of peace Dem
ocrats on enormities like these; though for
slight excesses on the part of loyal troops,
justifiable, perhaps, under irritating circum
stances, or else unavoidable as the fiery char
iot of war sweeps forward amid smoke and
confusion, our gentle-hearted friends of re
bellion are overwhelmed with indignation,
and unpack their hearts w ith words of bit
terest invective.
In the eyes of a peace Democrat all things
are beneficent or wise if performed by trai
tors. Not only may these do cruel acts, and
have them justified by our lenient censors,
but they may perform stupid or foolish deeds,
and have them deemed patterns of states
manship. Their currency may go down to
five cents on a dollar, and still their sympa
thizing friends avert their looks and aver in
counterpoise that Union loans are not at par
in gold. - The little molehill of demerit or
deficiency looms up to Himalayan altitude,
when loyalty is arraigned for trial, but per
jury, repudiation and bankruptcy are things
diminutive and invisible if only imputable
to southern rebels. " Their crimes, their
boastings and their ridieulotfs failures, are
lightly touched on by their peaceful allies
here. They descant ominously and prophet
ically on our long delays in taking Richmond,
but utter no words of marvel that their south
ern friends have never entered Philadelphia
nor Boston.
They only wish we would forget the names
of New Orleans, Vicksburg and Port Hud
son ; Nashville, Chattatjooga, Atlanta, and
a hundred other strongholds wreted from
rebellion. They search the map in vain to
see the foothold on our soil which traitors
were to make, and which they could not.
The disappointed peace man seeks a solace
by declaring the traitors got the victories,
though they slipped continually backward
for convenience sake. The rebels grow stron
ger by concentration and the loss of their re
sources, and will reach their maximum in
that respect when Charleston alone remains
to them.
Next to Calhoun and his disciples, these
same peace advocates were the chief inciters
of the present war. They in fact invited the
traitors to begin it, who otherwise, with all
their self-conceit, would scarcely have as
saulted us with arms. Yet now that the
bloody contest wanes to its conclusion, our
inconsistent Marplots would interpose their
schemes of armistice and withdrawal, to give
the rebels breathing time to protract the war
for an indefinite period.
This is the precious sample of their wis-1
dom and forecast which is to induce their
countrymen to confer on them the mrStKge-
ment of national affairs this the roodo of
pacification which is to heal the national
wounds and bring" ua repose and safety And
to cap the climax of their wondrous irra
tionality, even whilst they sing thse dulcet
notes they intermit the melody to talk infu
riatcly of northern insurrection as a meant
of enforcing peace. They would desolate
our free communities to match the picture
of southern devastation, and bring home to
northern hearthstones the woes which south
era treason has inflicted in the slave States.
Such are the absurdities and contradic
tions of this unnatural party, which still u
surps the Democratic name, though leagued
with traitors who repudiate democracy. Wil
ful, perverse, and maddened by party spirit,
they rush upon political destruction, for they
misjudge their own countrymen, who can
never be deceived by falsehood and sophis
try so gross as the peace Democracy must
use. Slavery, rebellion and every species of
treason are doomed to destruction by tha
popular fiat, that the great republic may live.
Forty Million Seven-Thirties Subscribed.
The subscriptions to thi3 popular loan ar
now over forty million dollars, and they con
tinue to come in at the rate of about a mil
lion a day. The public are satisfied that
there are no other investments so profitable
as United States securities. While 1 .arly
all the hundreds of miscellaneous Blocks
sold in the New York market have been de
clining for several weeks (ia many instances
twenty-five per cent), Government stock!
have'remained firm ; and while lenders loan
very sparingly, and at high rates, on the
best mercantile paper, they have plenty of
money to lend on Government paper at as
low rates as ever. While the Government
needs the people's monej, and pays for it
liberally, it offers the highest possible con--sideration
besides, and that is safety. Se

Another Democrat for Lincoln,
nox. David S. Coddixgton. of New
York, has written a letter in reply to an in
vitation to address a public meeting, in which
'"Your lnvifationto'speatis received, a.
severe cold will prevent me. But neither
cold nor heat can freeze or melt out of this
country the belief that the Chicago Conven
tion, has left a Democrat no chance between
Jefferson Davis with all his crimes, and
Abraham Lincoln with all his faults. The
Yallandiehani platform is merely an attempt
of the Richmond authorities to run the
blockade of the Northern ballot boxes, with
the Union flag floating from thefirst section;
so it does from the Florida and lallaltassce,
until you get near enough for them to hoist
the Confederate rag and scuttle the Union
ship, while we, robbed of our compasses and
stripped of our national consistency, are to
be landed upon some bleak dogma of ego
tistical Statesrights and universal anarchy."
POLITICS IN THE AEMY.
One of the grievances of which the cop
perheads are constantly complaining, is in
reference to the introduction of politics in
the army. W would like to know how the
introduction of politics in the army is to be
avoided, while incidents like the following
are of daily occurrence. Sergeant Matthew
Ryan, of the New York One Hundred and
Twenty-second, writes to a friend at Syra
cuse, that during the skirmishing of our Re
giment and other troops at Opequan Creek,
when our party would drive the rebels or
gain any advantage, they would cheer lusti
ly, and the name of Lincoln being taken by
our troops, the rebels set up equally enthu
siastic cheering for McClellan. The cop
perhead leaders ot the .North 1-ave them
selves to blame for the introduction of pol
itics in the armv, according to the account
just quoted.
Ge.v. Dix. This sterling patriot, because
he declined to accept the Union nomination
for Governor of New York, has Wen claim
ed by the Copperheads for McClellan. Go
ing to Sandusky to catch piratical Copper
heads, he takes occasion to make a little
speech, wherein he says : "I can have no
part in any political movement of which the
Chicago platform is a basis." That seems
explicit enough.
The latest Peace Commissioner, and one
of th j most improved pattern, i Phil Sher
idan. He fights and defeats the rebels just
as if the war wasn't a "failure," and as if
the Chicago platform had never been writ-,

there will be more wailing and disappoint

General Cutler having been asked if the
soldies would vote for Gen. McClellan on
the Chicago Platform, replied : Wrhen, the

worth and McPherson and the hosts of, oth

round and fight under Jeff. Davis, then you
may expect it to vote that ticket and not
before. " ,
Gettixg Shaky. They have heard
from Sheridax in England. The effect
was an immediate decline in the Rfbel loan
of nine per cent. It is as good as McCxel

The last' phase of the armistice question

has agreed that if Early runs so fast that he
can't catch him. he won't fight him. .
Is the war a "failure?" For rarticulirs
