This letter is 'of great significance, for the j

jiysition of its author is emineuwy .represen

late period, General MeCall has been affilia
te,! with the Democratic party. Iu the last
c.niti'.st for Gongress he wad the candidate of
the I ..inoeratti in t fie counties of Delaware

TTliat the Copperheads Have Done.
They have embarrassed the natioual gov
ernment at every step ia the progress of the
pending yar. - . . ----.- - -r
They have sympathized with the enemy
arrayed in arms against os, and seeking the
ruin of the republic and the huniiliiation of
the free States.
They have defended the conduct of the re-
bclliousStates, and charged the responsibil
ity" of the war wholly upon the anti-slavery
senJ'uneot of the .North.
The- have o'..o-od every effort of the-gov-ernmont
to procure reiufoiccmeuts for!-the
army, fomenting )ipu!ar disturbance to ar
rest the draft, and leading the people to be
lieve that if they enlisted it would only be
aid in an abolition war, conducted by blun
deri'ig.and incompetent generals, and an e
qu.diy untrustworthy war d partment.
They have augmented the national cl- bt
by artuily depreciating the national curren
cy, co that th -government has boon obliged to
pay neail.v three times ai much for its sup
plies as there was any occasion. for.
They have increased the bur-.b-ns of the;
people by the sauni process in order to make
the war unpopular, and thus compel tin ig
noble peace. ;
They have undented eveiy success of the'
Union arms in the field, and ji.-tirgeruied ev
ery rebel success, however slight ; they have
systematically magniSed all the perils .arid
troubles of our armies, deprec iated the abili
ties iind achievements of every successful U
n:on general and extolled every rebel leader ;
they have made much of imaginary dangers
in our path,' regularly exaggerated the for
ces of the rebels, at the same time that they
have underrated ours. "
They iK.ve assailed every general of our
ami tcs who was known to have his sympa
thies with us in this war, whether he were
Democrat or Republican, and they have.de
fended every general knowu to be of pro
slavery proclivities, whether successful or
unsuccessful.
They have proven by their actions that
they Mould rather save slavery than the
Union. '
They have defended every domestic trait
or, however rank his treason.
And at Chicago they have formally de
clared in favor of a base and cowardly fcuneu
der to the Southern rebels.
llcClellan, the Ecbels Hope.
One issue of the present contest must not
be forgotten: namely, the effect of tlie elec
tion of McClellan upon our political relations
with Europe. If .-uch a misfortune as that
election should fall upon us, it will be said
in Europe, and will 1 acted upon by France
and England, that the North, speaking at
the polls, has accepted a j.eace policy in ac
cepting its peculiar champion. The Z".7o.i
()tcir( rt, which with equal wit and truth
ha doscrilied McClellan as "Athelstai!e.the
Unready,"' would then see its hope fulfilled
that hope being the immediate'- recogni
tion of the South as an independent nation,
and this recognition would be hastened by
the anticipation of obtaining a first commer
cial footing in the South. Let the Union
candidates be defeated, and what we here
predict wit occur." Napoleon and Palmer
ston will at once receive the credentials of
Slidell and Mason as ambassadors from Jef
ferson Davis. Elect the Union candidates,
and the political hope of the South falls to
the ground, and even the arch-rebel himself
will haveto admit his inability to proceed
any farther iu his treason.
The rebels in 3Iissouri gobble up ' every
man tliev come across, and ask if he belongs
to the Federal army. If he says yes, they
hold him as prisoner of war ; if he says no,
they then declare him conscripted under the
conscription law. They -have no, subsist
ence, except some flour, and they depend
upon the country for forage., ' They have ac
cumulated a great deal of plunder..

Prominent Democrats for Lincoln.
The Chamborsburg Repository sums up
the prominent Pennsylvanians who have
given their support, to. Mr. Lincoln, i t re
calls the fact that in l.SGu Gov. Packer's Cab
iuet was opposed to Mr. Lincoln. Now Mr.
Heister is the Union candidate for Congress
iu Berks, and Mr. Knox is stumping the
State for Lincoln. Hon. James L. Rey-
Lnolds. brother of the late Gen. Reynolds,
who leu at Gettysburg, was on tne Demo
crat ie Electoral ticket in 1SG0 now he is
zealously for Lincoln ; Gen. McCaii, who led
the gallant Pennsylvania . Reserves through
the Peninsular campaign under McClellan,
and who van as the Democratic candidate
for Congress in Chester in 1 &('-, espoused
the cause of Ihicoln as soon as McCh!un

The Hot-Mutton Pie Democracy.
We have seldom seen a more apt illustra
tion than the following by George Sennott,
a Boston lawyer, famous for having defend
ed old John Brown, in a late speech ut Rox
bury :
" One freezing February morning a negro
hawked mutton pies in a basket round Fan
euil Hail Square, roariug out 'Hot mutton
pies ! Hot mutton pies !' A teamster bought
and tried to bite one, but found it frozeu
as hard as the curb stone. 'What do you
call them hot for, you black anil blue swind
ler.' yelled the teamster to the shivering
pieman. "Wy wy a white man guv 'eui
to me hot this mornin !' 'Well, you fool, it
didn't take ten minutes to freeze them in
that old basket. Why call them hot now?'
Wy God ble-s you dat's de name ob dem

They received, from Jeffer-i-m ar-.d Jackson,
as a free gift, their principles. Those gifts
ihty meanly put up for sale and hawk round
in the deadly mat ket of s.la cry to fi etze up

TilE What-'is-it. The Aorth America.
Ki riric calls the Chicngo nomination and-so-f'uth
the political What-i-it, and add,
"Vo'ers are expected, wit'uout asking im
pertiuent questions. Jo pay their money and
make their own choice as to the natural his
tory of the animal. Looked at from the Nor
thern side, it is a raven, the bird of carnage,
to be sure, but white-washed, and looking
as decorousiy dovc-hke as it can ; from tha
Southern it is a dove, blackened over for the
nonce, but letting the olive branch peep out
under its wing."
The very absurd lie that President Lin
coln receives his salary in gold is effectually
refute 1 by L. E. Chittenden of Vermont,
the late Register of the Treasury, who had
charge of all payments of that kind. Mr.
Lincoln and all his Cabinet receive the ordi
nary greenbacks, just like 'ordinary men in
ordinary business, and the regular income
tax is regularly deducted from Mr.' Lin
coln's salary. The only oifcsers paid in gold
are our ministers abroad, in places where
our currency is not recognized.
"I HAVE lost dear friends who gave their
lives in this war to save the Republic. I
dare not vote for a candidate who declares
that their lives have been given in vain for
a country not worth having." So spoke an
honest workinginan, lately, and his words
will find an echo in the hearts of thousands
who scorn the betrayal of this sacred cause
and of the nation's life by such a surrender
as the Chicago platform proposes. TribuM.
How shall we have peace? There-are
two way?, and both appear to be war meth

pose to make jeace by hostility to the North :
the friends of the Union purpose to obtain
peace by putting down the rebellion of th
South. The issue is a square one between
Union and Disunion, Government and Sj-

A Presidential Platform is a Party' toul

to the People ! we are going to escape- the

we are p cing to obtain the former. They
