TO TUB PEOPLE OF THE C2UTED STATES. Astor House, New York, October 14. Fellow Citizens : The elections of Tuesday last give splendid auguries of the result of tOpresidential contest, now so near at hand. The great Central States of the Union have pronounced, in unmis takable tones, their condemnation of the principles, the purposes, and the candi dates of the Chicago Convention. Although tha great issue was presented only indirectly for their action, they have branded as false the declaration of that assemblage that the war for the restora tion of the Union has proved a "failure;" and have stigmatized, as unpatriotic and cowardly, its demand, made in the midst of our most splendid triumphs, for a "cessation of hostilities," and a compro mise with the men-who are assailing, in armed rebellion, the nation's life. In Pennsylvania, the Old Keystone State, although there was no State ticket to arouse enthusiasm or stimulate exer tion, the Union men have elected tuteen out of the twenty-four ' members of Con gress, secured a large majority : in both branches of the Legislature, and carried the State by a popular majority of noc less than til teen thousand.. In Ohio, without any special effort, the Union men have elected sixteen members of Congress out of nineteen ; the Chicago candidate for the Vice Presidency has been overwhelmed in his own district, all the promineut leaders who dared to present themselves for public judgment have been condemned by decisive verdicts, the Legislature has a large Union- ma jority iu both branches, and in the State at large' the bnion cause has a popular majority of uot less than eighty thousand. lu Indiana, , where the Copperheads made the most determined struggle, they have met th6 most signal. deteat and over throw. Their organization .: was perfect, their means abundant, and their efforts marked by the utmost vigor and determi nation. Lut they have been utterly routed by the most decisive majority which the fctute has given tor . many years. Al though he bad more than forty thousand soldiers in the field, from whoai the oppo sition party had withheld the right to vote, the Union men in that gallant State have gained three members -of. Congress, sent bchuyJer Uouax back, in spue or the most desperate efforts to defeat him, to the scat he has so long acorned ; chosen a Union Legislature, re-clccted the gal lant and patriotic Governor Alortou by 15.000 majority, ?nd overwhelmed, witli the lasting stigma of popular condeuna-: tion, the conspirators who had dared, in aid of the llebellion, to organize uoon her soil a movement of armed resistance to the Constitutional authority of the Uni- ted States. Fellow citizens ! These results may well fill your hearts with confidence that iu November the popular voice will de mand that the llebellion be crushed by f "force of arms," and that there be no cessation of hostilities until the integrity 0 thc Union is restored and the suprema cy of the Constitution re-established over every foot f the national domain. They leave no room for doubt as to the settled sentiment and purpose of the American people. . The Union victories of September in Vermont and Maine indicated uumistaka- bly the feelings of New England. New York has never failed to sympathize in political sentiments with Pennsylvania.- Illinois always vote3 with Indiana, and the overwhelming majority in Ohio ren ders certain the verdict of the mighty West. V . " . But take care that the very splendor of these victories docs not betray you into fatal inactivity! Let them stimulate you to fresh exertions not lull you into a false security! These contests are only the preliminary skirmishes of the grand engagement. The battle is but just be gun; it will not close until tho last vote drops into the ballot-box at sunset on the 8th of November next. Our opponents will not abandon the contest; they will only fight with the greater desperation on account of the check they .have sus tained. : . -' Besides this, it is rot enough that we secure a victory- The Union cause de serves and demands at our hands ac over whelming triumph. We owe it to the flag we serve ; to thc memory of the noble hearts who have, died in its defense; to the heroes who are even now rallying, in blood and fire, to the rescue of its starry folds, to put such a brand of popular con demnation lOon its foes as shall? leave them neither heart nor. strength to assail it from this tinja forward forever I , , Signs, moreover, are not wanting that the allies ot rebellion, represented at Chi cago,5 are prepared, if the contest be close, to resist the verdict of the people now, as it was resisted four years ago, by armed rebellion. . Threats of such a purpose have been freely uttered. , .Secret organizations, looking to such a movement, have "been perfected. -'Arms and ammunition have been secretly accumulated in the Western States. And- the Chicago Convention itself refused to adjourn cine die after its legitimate business had been transacted, but on motion of Wickliffe, of Kentucky, an open ally of the rebellion, and in imi tation of the Jacobin clubs of revolution ary France, resolved itself into a perma nent body, for the avowed purpose -of taking such steps as the emergencies might require between now and the 4th of March next. To what do these prepa rations look, if not to a repetition on Northern soil of thc secession movement in the Southern States; to fresh attempts to arouse rebellion again the will of the people, if that will should be pronounced against them ' . For these reasons, fellow-citizens, and for every reason connected with the wel fare, the honor, the salvation of our be loved country, it is of the utmost impor tance that you give in November an over whelming maioritv for the Union cause. With proper exertion you can carry every J loyal State ia the Union for the Union j candidates. Let that be the aim of your efforts! 1 Be content with nothing less. Iteraember that the contest is not one for party ascendancy. You are not fighting for a party victory. . The stake for which you are contending is nothing les3 than the honor and the life of your country. llemember. that failure now is failure ioveyer; that a triumph of the cessation and surrender policy of the Chicago Convention lead3 inevitabljr-to a recognition of the Itebel ConfotCacy with slavery its its corner-stone : ; to the disruption of this glorious Union and the overthrow of democratic atd , republican principles all over the world. , Give not such a triumph' to the foes of freedom abroad, and the enemies of equal rights - at ;home ! .Let ; not England and Franca thus glory in the destruction of this Imperial liepublic. Let the world understand thai the American people still cling to the principles of their fathers that they "will still maintain against all hostility the integrity of , their Union, the authority of the Constitution, aud the honor end supremacy of thfur glorious fla?. . . ' . Wc call upon Union Committees, Loyal Leagues, and all other organizations formed 'for the purpose of vindicating auu maintaining the Uuion cause, to redouble their efforts. Let them perfect their organization, instantly, everywhere. ' Let tiicin L-cnd to this Committee for such documents a3 wul enlighten the pcoplo in their respective localities upon the great issues involved in. the canvass; they will be furnished gratuitously, upon the sole condition that they are faithlully used.' : Let speakers in every town and every district address the judgment and patriotic sentiment of the people, and rally them to the support and defense of our principles and candidates. : Let full and prompt provision be made in advance for bringing voters to the polls, for preventing frauds, and secu ring in this sharp crisis of the country's fate the 7ote of evcry'citizen who has an interest iu the preservation of the nation's life. Let special care be taken to secure for every soldier and for every sailor, who is fighting iu the field or oa the sea in de fense of the country and its flag, the exercise of his right to vote. If any man's right of suffrage i3 sacred, il is his.' ' See to it that ho is not deprived of.it by neg ligence, or cheated in its exercise by fraud. Send agents to ths array to , secure it for him. 'Where the action of hostile legisla tures has refused him the right to vote in the field, procure for him a furlough, if military necessity will allow, that he may vote at home. . ., , , Fellow-citizens ! But one month more remains for effort. If that month be properly employed, the vote of every loyal State can .be secured for the representa tives and candidates of the Union cause. There is not one among them all that, upon any just and fair canvass, will delib erately pronounce the " war iu which so many of our sons and brothers have laid down their lives, a "failure," orechathe' demand of, the Chicago Convention for a cessation of hostilities just on the eve of victory, and for a disgraceful surrender to an exhausted and beaten foe. ' On behalf of the National Union Exec utive Committee. , - r v ... . HENRY J. RAYMOND, Chairman. F. D. Spehry, Secretary.' " " An empty sound the railway whistle when you are too late for thc train. Toices from Chicago. In order to a correct understanding of the influences which operated to the fra ming of the Chicago Platform, and to give some idea of the character of those com posing and endorsing the convention, we subjoin extracts from a few of the speeches delivered just prior to the nomination of M'Clellan and Pendleton,: , . : FERXAN'DO WOOD'S PK5IA5D OF THE COSVESTIOJf. This leading Democrat said: ; ' "Let us demand of , the convention, above everything else, that they give us peace Let us insist that they shall respond to the demand, and not intermit our efforts until we have brought t hero, to a triumphant conclusion." (Cheers.) DOXE XOTHISa TO HELP THE WAR. Mr. Van Allen said : - "I have been a peace man from the beginning, and. have done nothing tohehp the war that I could avoid, for I believed that it would result in an abortive attempt, and that an effort to subjusate the sover eign States would only bring destruction to the people, collapse. our finances, and send desolation and death through all our homes.. Has not that . been the result?" (Cries of "Quite right.") , . - M'UAT IT IS TO BEIXFORCE OCK SOLDIERS. Hev. Henry Clay Dean said : ; 1 "Since the day when Ahasuerus issued his edict for the murder of tho Jewish nation, a more gigantic crime has never been recorded than thc recent edict of the ignorant baboon at Washington, calling tor a half million more of your sons and brothers, for a fresh immolation to the Abolition God". . , A WORD TO WAli DEMOCRATS. 'Mr. O'Brien, of Illinois, said : "But we have men who call themselves War Democrats. Such are Ingersoll, Logan and M'Clernand. They are not Democrats; they are Abolitionists, and this fall we will bury, them in the same grave as the Abolitionists, and damn them to eternal infamy." ' . . THE "WAR DEMOCR AT IS A JUDAS. " Mr. M'Mastets, of New York, said : v "A man who is in favor of this unnatu ral war, iusults. the holy name of the Democracy, when he claims a place in jts organization, .lie is a' Judas, and should be cast out as an enemy to humanity and to God." ; .. ' '. . WAR AT THE XORT3 THREATENED Prof. Wedgewcod, of New York, said : "The scenes of Missouri will be repeated in Illinois in less thaa six months, if the war should bo continued. (Yc3, and. all over the country.) If thc war continues, 'cu may rely upon it that every man's hand will be turned against his neighbor, and the result' will be that there will be a contest between Republicans and Demo crats here among -us." '. 2OT DEMOCRAT VOTES - ENOUGH WHAT SHALE EE DOXE ? ' ' ' Major Stambaugh, of Ohio, said: . ?'I am a native of tho same county with Mr. Vallandigham, and there is but little difference iu our ages, I know him to be a pure patriot. (Loud cheers.) We have not Democratic votes enough to elect our candidates. We must have the conserva tives of tho Republican party. , Shall wo open the door. and receive them? (Yes, let them come.)" KOX-COEECIOX AXD DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS. ; Mr. C. :C Burr said: ' - "Tho Demosratic party must recognize in their romination the doctrine of non coercion, or it will not and ought not to be successful. This campaign will be satis factory only if conducted upon tho princi ples of the old Democratic party, and they were peaceful principles. These doctrines must bo represented either in the candidate or platform. Get the candidate if , you can, but the platform at a'ny.rate." . ALL THE PEACE MEN FOR THE CUICAOO XOMIXEE. j Mr. Baker, of Michigan, said : "I am for peace, (cheers.) for war is destroying our liberty. ; I came here to proclaim peace. (A voice : Will you sup port a war man if he is nomiuated ? We don't want a war man.) I will support any man nominated at the Chicago Con-vention.- (Cheers.) ' : '. VISION OF A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION. Captain Kountz, of Pennsylvania, said: "The Democratic government must be raised to power, and Lincoln, with his Cabinet ot rogues, thieves and spies driv en to destruction. What shall we do with him ? (A voice: Send him here, and I'll make a coffin for him d n him !) Yes, d n him and his miserable followers. I do not proposo to give you,' to-night, the platform of the Democratio party, for as yet it is unborn. But 1 should like to see the Doble " George B. M'Clellan as President, (cheers,) and the great Demo crat, Horatio Seymour, should occupy the position of Secretary of State. In - the Cabinet, I would sec the name of Voor- hees and the brilliant galaxy of gentlemen statesmen who surround tho Democratic banner." . Let the people read, and then reflect that of such influence and associations as these were produced the Chieago nomina ination and platform,' which are now bef Drc the country for approval or rejection. mi President Lincoln Serenaded .-: lie Makes n Speech.' President Lincoln was serenaded at the White House, on thc 'evening of the 19th, by a largo crowd of loyal Mary landers, when" he made a speech congratulating them, the State, the nation, and the world upon the adoption of the new Maryland Constitution. He said: "I am notified this is a compliment paid me by loyal Miry landers resident in thi? District. I infer that the adoption of the new Constitution for your State furnishes the occasion, and that in your view the extirpation of slavery constitutes the chief merit of the' new Constitution. Most heartily do I congratulate you and Mary land, and the nation, and the world, upon the event. 1 regret that it did not occur two years sooner, which I am sure would have saved to the nation more money than would have met all private lo?3 incident to the measure. But it has come at last, and I sincerely hope its frieuds may fully re alize all their anticipations of good from it, atiM that its opponents may, by its ef fects, be agreeably and profitably disap pointed. . "A word upon another subject. Some thing said by the Secretary of State in his recent speech at Auburn has been con strued by some into a threat that if I shall be beaten at the election, I will, between then and the end of my constitutional term, do what I may be able to ruin the government. Others regard the fact that the Chicago Convention adjourned, not sine die, but to meet again, if called to do so by particular individuals, as an intima tion of a purpose that if their nominee shall bo elected, he will at once seize the control of the Government.- I hope the good, people will permit themselves to suffer no uneasiness on either point. am" struggling to maintain the Govern ment, not to overthrow it. - I. therefore say, that if I shall live, I shall remain President until the 4th of . next March, and that whoever shall be constitutionally elected therelor in November, shall be duly installed as President on the 4th of March, and thai in the interval I shall do my utmost that whosoever is to hold the helm for the next voyage shall start with the best possible chance to save thc ship. "This is duo to the people both on prin ciple and under the Constitution. Their will constitutionally expressed i3 ultimate law for all. If they should deliberate resolve to have immediate peace, even at the loss of their country and liberties, I have not the power or the right to resist them. It is their own business, and they must do as they please with their own. I believe, however, they are still resolved to preserve their country and their liber ty, and in this, in office or out of office, I am resolved to stand by them. . I may add that in this purpuse to save thc country and its liberties, no classes of people seem so nearly unanimous as tho soldiers in the field and the seamen afloat. Do they not have the hardest of it? Who should quail when they do not 'i God bless the soldiers and seamen, and all their bravo xromman dcrs." - . ...... . m m Why Did't they' Nominate Lin-" coln ? It is certainly an interesting in quiry : why the Democrats at Chicago did not nominate Lincoln.. They nominated his lieutenant-a man who has obeyed all his orders, and, endorsed all the leading features of his policy, with the only dif ference that Mr.-Lincoln did not go far enough and fast enough to suit him Thus, Mr. Lincoln ordered a , draft in 18C3 and 1SGI, while M'Clellan wanted it enforced in 18G1 and 18G2. . Mr. Lin coln directed tho making ot a few arbitra ry arrests of isolated individuals for dis loyalty, while M'Clellan wauted a whole Legislature gobbled up for that offence. Mr. Lincoln issued a proclamation of emancipation in the fall of 18G2, while M'Clellan advised the confiscation and forcible liberation of slaves in the spring of that year. Mr. Lincoln directed the employment of military force for the sup pression of the rebellion frcm his chair in Washington, while M'Clellan went into the field in person to help suppress the rebellion.i . :Mr. Lincoln "was compelled by his oath of office to prosecute the war which treason forced upon the govern ment, whilo 31'Clellan volunteered to help prosecute. Truly, General M'Clellan, with his record, is the last man who ought to run a a "peace candidate ! . As well might they support Abraham Llacolu. John llrigiit on the presidency An Important Letter. 1 - John Bright is well known throughout the world as the advocate of the poor man and of the rights of thc people opposed to the privileges of the few. ne is legitimato successor of: the . line of good men ia English politics, aad is in. the same class of popular reformers as Daniel O'Ccmnell, Feargus O'Connor, Bichsrd Cobden. and ethers. We therefore invite special atten tion to what this true friend of America says in regard to -the identity in Great Britain of the rebel sympathizers with tho advocates of M'Clellan's election. - It is well also to remember that the industrial classes in England most injured by the war have the strongest sympathy with President Lincoln's administration. Rochdale, Oct. 1, 186-t. Deau SliiFor more than three years the people of this country have watched, with a constant iuterest, the progress of the great; conflict in which your people have been engaged; "and, as you" know, some have rejoiced over the temporary successes cf the enemies of your Govern ment, and some . have, deeply lamented them. ' ' ' ' - At this moment we furn our eyes rather to the political than to the military strug gle; and there is, with us, the same differ ence of opinion and sympathy as regards your coming Presidential election that ha been manifested in connection with vour contest in the field. . . -"i - . . ' . . All those of my countrymen who have wished well to the' rebellion,., who have hoped for the, breaking up of your Union, who have preferred to. see a Southern slave empire ratUer than a restored and free liepublic-, so far as I can observe, are now in favor of the election: of General M'Clellan. All those who have deplored the calamities which the leaders of seces sion have brought upon your country, who believe that slavery weakens your power and tarnishes your good name throughout the world, and who regard the restoration of your Union as a' thing to be desired and prayed for by all good men, so far as I can judge are heartily longing for the re-election of Mr. Lincoln. Every friend ofyour Union, probably, in Europe, every speaker and writer, who has sought to 'do justice to your cause since the war began, is now hoping with an iutenso anxiety, that Mr.-Lincoln may be placed at the head of your Executive for another term. It is not because they believe Mr. Lin coln to be wiser or better than all other men on your continent, but thejT think they have observed in his' career a grand simplicity of purpose, and a patriotism which, knows no change and which does not falter. To some of his countrymen there may appear to have been errors in his course. It would be strange, indeed, ifin the rxiidst of difficulties so stupendous and so unexpected, any administration or any ruler should wholly avoid mistakes. To us, looking on from this distance, and unmoved by the passions frOm which many of your people cau hardly be expect ed to bo free regarding his Presidential path with the calm judgment which be longs rather to history than to the present time, as our outside position enables us, in some degree to regard it we see in'it an honest endeavor faithfully to do the work of his great office, and, iu the doing of it, ' a brightness of personal honor on which no adversary has yet been able to fix a stain. ' ' ' ' " 1 believe that the effect of Mr. Lincoln's re-election iu England, and in Europe, and indeed throughout the world, will be this: it will convince all men that the integrity of your great country Vili be preserved, and it will show that republfcan institutions with an instructed and patriotic people, can bear a nation safely and steadily - through the most desperate periii. ... I am. one of your friends in England who have never lost faith in your cause. I have spoken to my countrymen on its behalf; and now, in writing this letter to you, I believe I speak the sontimeuts and the heart's wish of every man in England who hopes for the freedom and greatness of your country. Forgive mo for this in trusion upon you, but I cannot hold back from telliug you what is passing in my mind, aud I wish, if possible, to send you a word of encouragement. Relieve me, always, with great respect, - . .. Yours," verv truly, JOHN BRIGHT. Horace Greeley, Esq., New York. Tj. S $iJrA Jersey mail was very sick, and was not expected to recover.
