VOLUME 1. THE PLATFORMS. Baltimore. The National Convention which assem bled at Baltimore on the 7th of last.June, and there nominated AURAU AM LIN COLN for re-election as President, with ANDREW JOHNSON as Vice-Presi dent, adopted and presented to the Amer ican People the following PLATFORM. ftcmhed, That it is the highest duty 'of every American citizen to maintain against all their enemies the integrity of the Union, and the paramount authority of the Constitution and laws of the Uni t.*l States , and that, laying aside all dif ferences of political opinion, wc pledge ourselves as Union men, animated by a common sentiment, and aiming at a com mon object, to do everything in our power to aid the Government in quelling by force of arms the rebellion now raging against its authority, and in bringing to the pun ishment due to their crimes the rebels and traitors arrayed against it. RcsiMeif, That we approve the deter mination of the Government of the Uni ted States not to compromise with rebels, nor to offer any terms of peace except such as may be based upon an " uncondi tional surrender" of their hostility and a return to their just allegiance to the Con stitution and laws of the United States, and that wo call upon the Government to maintain this position and to prosecute the war with the utmost possible vigor to the complete suppression of the Rebellion,in full reliance upon the self-sacrifice, the patriotism, the hcro.c valor, and the un dying devotion of the American people to their country an I its free institutions. Rrmlw'l, That, as Slavery was the caine, and now constitutes tlie strength,of this rebellion, and as it must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of republican government, justico and the national safety demand its utter and com plete extirpation from the soil of the re public; and that we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by which the (rovemment, in its own defense, has aim ed a death-blow at this gigantic evil. W c are in favor, furthermore, of sueli an amendment to the Constitution, tobemade by the people in conformity with its pro visions. as .shall terminate and forever pro hibit the existence of Slavery within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States. - llcxolmi. That the thanksof the Amer ican People are due to the soldiers and sailors of the Army and Navy, who have periled their lives in defense of their coun try, aud in vindication of the. honor of the flag; that the nation owes to them sonic permanent recognition of th*ir pa triotism and valor, and ample and perma nent provision for those of their survivors who have received disabling an i honora ble wounds in the service of the country; and that the memories of those who have fallen in its defense shall be held in grate ful and everlasting remembrance. Rntoloctl, That we approve and applaud the practical wisdom, the unselfish patri otism, and unswerving fidelity to the Con stitution and the principles of American liberty, with which Abraham Lincoln has discharged, wider circumstances of un paralleled difficulty, the great duties and responsibilities of the I 'residential office; that we approve and indorse, as demand ed by the emergency and essential to the preservatian of the nation, and as within the Constitution, the measures aud acts which he has adopted to defend the na tion against it.s open and secret foes ; that we approve especially the proclamation of Emancipation, and the employment as Un ion soldiers of men heretofore held in Sla very ; and that wc have full confidence in his determination to carry those and all constitutional measures essential to Che salvation of the country into full and efiect. efiect. Retained, That we deem it essential to the g«ucral welfare that harmony should prevail in tho National councils, and we Tcgard as worthy of public confidence aud official trust those only who cordially in dorse the piineiplcs proclaimed in these resolutious, aud which should character ize the administration of the Government. Resolved, That the Government owes .to all men employed in its armies, without regaad to distinction of color, the full pro tection of the laws of war ; and that auy violation of these laws or of the usages of civilized nations in the time of war by the Rebels now in arms, should be made the subject of full and prompt redress. Resolved, That the foreign immigration wl)ipli iu tho past has added so much to the wealth and development of resources and ii|creasp of power to this nation, the ftsylun) uf the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered find encouraged by a liberal and jijst policy. That \ve are in favor of the »peedy construction of ft Railroad to the Pacific AMERICAN CITIZEN. lii-Kulveil, That the Natiunal faith, pledg ed for the redemption of the public Debt, must be kept inviolate; arid that for this purpose We recommend economy and rig id responsibility in the public expendi tures, and a vigorous and just system of taxation ; that it is the duty of every loy al State to sustain the cvedit and promote the use of the National Currency. Jle.io/ceil , That we approve the position taken by the Government that the people of the United States never regarded with indifference the attempt of any European power to overthrow by force, or to sup plant by fraud, the institutions of any re publican government on the western con tinent, and that they view with extreme jealousy, as menacing to the peace and in dependence of this our country, the ef forts of any such power to obtain new footholds for monarchial governments, sustained by a foreign military force, in near proximity to the United States. Chicago. The Democratic National Convention which gathered at Chicago on the 29th of August, and presented the names of Gen. GEORGE H. Mc'JLEI.LAN for Presi dent, and GEORGE 11. PENDLETON for Vice-President, agreed on and adopt ed the following PLATFORM. licsolf il, That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere with unswerving fidel ity to the Union under the Constitution, as the only solid foundation of our strength, security, and happiness a3 a people, and as a frame-work of government equally conductive to the welfare and prosperity of all" the States, both Northern and Southern. Ilesolccil, That this Convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American People, that, after four years of failure to restore the Union by the exper iment of war. during which, under the pretense of a military necessity of a war power higher than the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trod den' down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare, demand that, immediate efforts bo made for a cessation or hostilities, with a view to an ultimate Convention of all the States, or other peaceable means to the end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the Fed eral Union of the States. Ji mlcd!. That the direct interference of the military authority of the United States in the recent elections hold in Ken tucky. Maryland, Missouri and Delaware, was a shameful violation of the Constitu tian, and the repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revolutionary, and resisted with all the means and power under our control. liexolml. That the aim and object of the Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and thcrightsof the States unimpaired; and they hereby declarethat they consider the Administrative usurpa tion of extraordinary and dangerous pow ers uot granted by the 'Constitution, the subversion of the civil by the military law in States not in insurrection, the ar bitrary military arrest, imprisonment, tri al and sentence of American citizens in States where civil law exists in full force, the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press, the denial of tne right of asylum, the open and avowed disregard of State rights, the employment of unu sual test-oaths, aud the interference with and denial of the right of the people to bear arms, as calculated to prevent a res toration of the Union and the perpetua tion of a government deriving its just powers from the consent of the govern ed. Rctolcrd, That the shameful disregard of tho Administration to its duty in re spect to our fellow citizens who now and long have been prisoners of war in a suf fering condition, deserves the severest reprobation, on the score alike of public interest and common humanity. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Democratic party is heartily ami earnest ly extended to the soldiery of our army, who arc and have bcou in the field under the flag of our country ; and, in the event of our attaining power, they will receive all the care and protection, regard and kindness, that the brave soldiers of the Republic have so nobly earned. Points of Difference. The rival Platforms just given, difier, as will be seen, mainly ou these points : 1. The Union Platform affirms that the Union is to be maintained "by quelling by force of arms the Rebellion now rag ing agaiust its authoritywhile the Dem ocratic Platform condemns the National effort to do this as a failure, aud demands immediate efforts for a cessation of hos tilities" with a view to '■ peace at the ear liest practicable moment." In other words • The Union Platform looks to tho ending " Let us have Faith that Right makes Might; and in that Faith let us, to the end,dare to do our duty as we understand it"— LINCOLN. BUTLER, BUTLER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 18G4. of the war through the defeat und over throw of the Rebellion, while the Demo cratic contemplates peace through the vir tual triumph of the traitors. 2. The Union Platform regards Slavery as the inciting, guilty cause of the Rebel lion, and demands the suppression of that cause in the interest of - justice and the Natioual safety." The Demoerrtic is si lent in terms as to slavery, but manifestly contemplates its perpetuation and fortifi cation under the " restored" Union it longs for. 3. The Union Platform regards the Re bellion its flagrantly icrowj —iniquitous, inexcusable, and justly exposing its con trivers to punishment. The Democratic, on the other hand, has no word of con demnation for the treason, nor of reproof for its authors. 4. The Union Platform jyiprovc gener ally and heartily the efforts of President Lincoln and his Cabinet to put down the Rebels and save the Republic. The Dem ocratic, on the other hand, condemns the National effort to do this as a failure, ami douiands " immediate efforts for a cessa tion of hostilities" with a view to "peace at the earliest prrcticable moment." In other words: The Union Platform looks to the ending of the war through tho de feat and overthrow of the Rebellion, while the Democratic contemplatespeacethrough tho viatual triumph of the traitcrs. 2. The Union Platform regards Slavery n« tho inciting, guilty cause of the Re bellion. and demands the suppression of that cause in the interest of "justice and the National safety." Tho Democratic is silent in terms as to Slovpry, but manifest ly contemplates its perpetuation and forti fication under the "restored" Union it longs for. 3. The Union l'latfarm regards the Re bellion as flagrantly wrong —iniquitous, inexcusable, and justly exposing its con trivers to punishment. The Democratic, on the other hand, has no word of condem nation for the treason, nor of reproof for its authors. 4. The Union plrtform approves gener ally and heartily the efforts of President Lincoln and his Cabinet to put down the Rebels and save the Republic. The Dem ocratic, on the other hand, condemns the official action of the President and his cabinet most swccpingly; finding fault with their almost every act as arbitrary, usurping and pernicious. 5. While tlio Democratic Platform proffers sympathy to the soldiers ami sail ors fighting against the Rebels, it now here intimates that the cause for which they fight is righteous and just. It cen sures our own government for the cruelties and privations which our captured sold iers havqjindurcd at the hands of the Rebels, but has no word of condemnation for their authors. The Union Platform not only returns the' thanks of the American People to our soldiers and sail ors, but propose a National recognition of their patriotism and valor, with perma nent provision for those disabled in their country's service, and efficient protection for so many as arc exposed to peculiar per ils.

This is preeminently a contest regarding important principles and measures, com pared with which, personal considerations are of small account. DEMOCRACY CLASSIFIED. —PetroIeum V. Nasby classifies the various cliques in the modern Democratic as follows: I—Them as would nominate Mick Lel on on a war platfotm. 2—Them as would nominate MickLel on on a peesc plotform. 3—Them as would nominate Yallanny gum on a pecse platform. 4—Thorn as would nominate Vallanny gum on a war platform. s—Them as would favor the war of slavery cood be let alone.

Virginia, October 6, IWJ4. ED. CITIZEN— Dear Sir : —Will you allow uie, a soldier. 11 pay a tribute of ra speet to the memory of one of Butler eountie's noblest sons, who 110* sleeps beneath the green sod of this ltebelloui state ! slr. Abraham Black, a member of our Company, who served a nine months term, and was honorably dischar ged; but aftorwards re-entered the ser vice in the month of August ISC3. He was a member of Co. K, 62d Keg. P. V. I first formed his acquaintance in that fall's campaign, and can testify tohisgood moral character and soldierly bearing.— AVe became associates during the last win ter—went out together this spring, often meeting, always fast friends. No truer soldier was to be found than he, enduring every hardship, performing every duty, and never known to grumble or complain. W-hen the (!2d llegt. was mustered out, 110 with some others, were transferred to this Regiment, (155 th.) Here we be came intimately associated,"and knowing l|ow to appreciate a noble follow and true soldier. I loved him as a brother, his commanding officers, all loved him for his courage, and his open generous heart. On the morning of the 30th, of Sept. he seemed to bo as happy as ever, and as wo marched out of our works in obedience to orders "There was one among that number, Tall and slender in his mein, Firm his step, his look undaunted, Ecarco a nobler youth was »een." We halted onco or twice in the march, and each tirno I left my place by the colors to sec him. When we parted for the charge, our Kegt. rested" upon the main road from Petersburg to lUatis Station, on the Weldou Kail Road. The order to charge was given, and forward wo went, on double <|uick. We reached the Peo ples House, a princely residence about halfway of the distance we wore to charge over, our line swept past and while rush ing onward to his countries foes, he fell— nobly fell, pierced by a ball from a rebel musket. Our colors was the first planted on the rebel works, but Black, poor fel low, was not there! he had gave his life for his country—his company feel deeply, his loss. lie now lies burryed in tho green lawn that surrounds the Peoplo's House, scarcely twenty paces from where he fell; and we who loved him as a broth er soldier, can only express to his parents our sympathy, in their great loss, auk like hiui await that summons that shall call us home to answer the last roll call. IliciiAHi) W. CLINK, Color Bearer; 155 th Keg. I'. V. Another Brave Soldier Gone. . Died on the 25th of September, 1802, of wounds received at Fredericksburg, Mr C. G. ltusscll, a private in Co. 11, 134 th Reg. P. V., in the 22d yoar of his age. The mother of the deceased has pent her three noble and patriotic sons to the army, (all that she had) of which but one survives. Disease carried off one lovely son and brother, who left his homo in Woolfcreek township, Mercer county, in 1858, to seek a home in the far distaut West. In August, 1801, he joined the army, and by nis gallant and heroic deeds he won a name which was esteemed by all who knew him. lie was a tender and dutiful son, a kind loving, and .affection ate brother. As a friend he was kind, true, faithful and much esteemed. But it was in his religious walk he was to be esteemed He united with the church while quite young, and took an active part in the pub lic prayer meeting and in the church.— lie was a devoted christian. He had that true and living faith which inspires the breast of every true follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, lint now his work is ended, but the glory is his. The last and youngest son. at the break ing out of the rebellion, was anxious to volunteer in defence of his country, but was detained by his aged mother, as be was her only support, her husband being dead twenty years ago. Rut his ardent love of country inspired him to abandon friends and home and volunteer in defence of his country, liut the short term of four months put an end to his earthly ca reer. And as it has pleased God in his infinite wisdom to remove from life those esteemed friends aud former school mates, so endecrcd to us by the ties of compan ionship, and whose youug lives gave such high promise of future usefulness, yet we know it is the will of our heavenly Fath er. In this wo hope the bereaved and sorrowing relatives and friends find the balm of consolation; and that family has our tenderest regards and heart-felt sym pathy in this tbehourof their very heavy affliction. But. wc ■ trust their afilictiou will be lightened when they consider their loss their great gain. In the death of our young friends we are ugain reminded of the frailty of life and of the certainty of death. We too are mortals and know not how soon wo may be called to render up an account for the deeds done iu the body; therefore, it behooves us to always be rendy, for in such an hour as we think not the Son of Man conieth.

AVliat man does not know that this Re bellion is the most stupendous wicked ness and crime recorded in written his tory,—that the essence of Wrong and Iniquity is at the bottom ol the objects for which the South rebelled? Notwith standing this wickedness, this crime and iniquity, it is proposed to make peace with the men guilty of it all. No wonder that tne spirit of Christianity and Patriotism throughout the laud has becotno aroused at the monstrous proposition. Shall wo make terms—sue for peace—with down right wrong, unpereled wickedness, un mixed crime? It is but another -propo sition to sacrifice principle and manhood, and degrade ourselves for all time in the estimation of the whole world. We ask the loyal man whose eyes fall on this page, —What have you done that you should be required to make a sacrifice like this? Are wo right, or are the rebels ? The conflict is between right and wrong, and must be eternal; there can be no honora able truce; whoever proposes it, proposes to surrender right to wrong. The strug gle, when renewed, as renewed it surely would be, .jvould bo only the more desper ate. "Is it peace, Jehu ?" said a wicked prince of a most wicked dynasty. The answer came, searching and stinging as the swift arrow which almost immediately sped to the tyrant's heart: "Whatpeace; so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel, and her witchcrafts, are so many?" There can be no peace with wrong and iniquity. There can be no peace with slavery—" the sin of all villainies." In theprogrcs of the world, under the great design of I'rovidence. slavery has thrust its neck beneath the axe. Shall it de scend, or shall Ave rush to place it under it props so that it cannot ? All enligh tened Christendom is watching to see how we decide. The serpent is beguiling and crying peace; "but there is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." Against the black crime of rebellion and tho stupen dous iniquity of slavery, lie "sends not peace but a sword." Tho question is a practical one, and needs a practical answer. It is—shall we have a truce with the rebels, which would bo the beginning of a proceeding that would end in peace according to tho Chi cago Platform ? The answer will be ac cording as the minds and •heartsof the peo ple are. Wc do not believe that tho civ ilized world is going to be confounded by it.— Pitts. Com. The Conspiracy in the North. Dodd, tho Grand Master of tho Sons of Liberty, in Indiana, who has just been on trial in Indianapolis for treason, has managed to effect his escape by breaking his parole, and has fled the country. Only a portion of the testimony against him has been putin by the Government, but the guilt wasfasteued upon him, aud the organization uf which ho was the head, so couclasively, that flight was his only resorcc. It was proved that the organiza tion extended through ludiana, Illinois, Missouri, and othor of the Northweste# States; that its members were bound to secrecy under the penalty of death, and that their plan was to arm and drill all ot its members, aud to prepare them for a risingagainst this Government whenever word should be giveu from tho chiefs ®f tho Order. The developments of this infamous conspiracy have made a great sensation in Indiana. Among the per sons implicated nrnl arrested, is the edi tor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, the pri»- cipal Copperhead organ of the State. It is put beyond question that many of the members of this treasonable combination, and among them Valandigham himself, the framer of the Chicago Platform. It was the discovery and seizure by the Government of a few of the arms belong ing to the Sons of Liberty" that prompt ed the charg against the Administration, iu the fourth resolution in the Platform, of "interference with and denial of the right of the poople to bear arms in their defence," and which also instigated Hora tio Seymour to denounce President Lin coln so vehemently in his Milwaukee speech, for attempts to-disarm Ihe people. Though Dodd has taken to flight, we trust that the Government will bring to trial some of his companions in this iiifcranl treason, and visit upon them condign pun ishment. These miscijauta should be made to undeistand that they are living in a land of law. The people will quick ly qettle accounts with the party which has given them ils countenance. Tlio Armed Conspiracy in the West.. The progress of the trial of Dodd in In dianapolis lifts higher and higher the curtain which has covered the conspiracy of the Democratic leaders in the Western States. Head the additional testimony published in another column. The oross-examinatihn by the defense of tlio principal Government witness, fail ed to disturb the proof that tho secret Or der of the Sons of Liberty was founded nominally, to effect by political action the restoration of the Democratic I'arty to power ; that it was converted in the ripe ness of time into a military organization, to bo used to cooperate with rebel armies that were to be thrown by I'rice into Mis souri, ami by Breekouridgo and, Buckner into Kentucky that Vallandigham, the pilot of McClcllan'i fortune, was the Com mander-in-Chief of this broothcrhood of of traitors, and its inspiring genius ; that ho had, as such commander-in-chief, for a staff officer, a Capt. Ilincs, previously of John Morgan's staff, and who was cap tured and escaped with Morgan, and to whom, as a Son of Liberty, was commit ted the duty of releasing the prisoner's on Johnston's Island ! This, we apprehend, is about as big a load of treason as tho pilot of McClollan's political bark can stand under. But tho second witness introduced by the Govern ment proves that two-thirds of Vallandig ham's Order were armed—that the num ber enrolled in the lodges of Illinois was 40,000, in Missouri, 40.000, in St. Louis alone 20,000. (it was already in testimony that Indiana had from 40,000 to GO,OOO enrolled) —that Ohio was to be invaded at three points by John Morgan or Wheel er, that Indiana was to be invaded by Longstrect, and Missouri by Price or Marmadukc —that the invading Rebels and Vallandigham's Sons of Liberty were in all these State"to shake hands and bo friends!"—that the rifles and revolvers with which these Democratic traitors arc armed came mostly from Nassau through Canada, and were furnished by the Con federate authorities—that the invasion of Missouri, now in tho bloody fiood, was posted in the Order for October, and that it was understood in the lodges that Price —excellent MeClellan Democrat! —would stay in Missouri at- least until after the election— aud that the grand signal for the uprising of the. Sons of Liberty "mis to he given by the Supreme Commander, L. Vallandigham." If there is a prudent, a thoughtful, a patriotic man in this country who thinks of voting for MeClellan, we pray him to study tho astounding testimony in the treason trial at Indianapolis. Wno Support MeClellan and Pend leton- I. Every Tory and anti-Liberal journal in the British Isles is a bigoted, noisy, violent champion of our Rebel slave hold ers, insisting that their Confederacy must and ought to triumph over tho Uuion — that "the South" cau never bo subdued, and never should be. Every one of these, journals advocates and hopes for the sue cess of Me Clellan. 11. Every Imperial, anti-Ropubliean lournal issued in Franco, together witji the Courrier des Eta!*-Luis, the Imper ial organ in this city, is a champion of our Slaveholder's Rebellion, of Southern independence, and of the election oPMc- Ciellan. They evidently consider the last of these disiderata the condition or compliment of tho two former. 111. Millard Filhnore, who in 1856 volunteered tho assertion that, in case of a Republican triumph in the impending Presidential election, the South would break up the Union, and he justified in so doing, is out for MeClellan. IV. Richard It'. Luthera who, about the time of her secession, wroto that, whenever South Carolina should call on NUMBER 44 him to do so, he was ready to fight in her service, is an active and paying McClell anite. V. Henry Grinnell , who lias been quoted without contradiction in the Rich mond journals, as heart and soul with tho slaveholding Rebels, is an active and prominent supporter of McClellan. VI. Ocn. Robert Putterton, who, iu flagrant defianoe of his orders, turned his army away from fighting or holding Jo. Johnston's Rebel force in the Shenondoah near Winchester, marching it back to ward Maryland and so allowing Johnston to hurry his troops to join Beauregard at Manassas, and thus defeat tho Union army at Bull Run, is a zealous supporter of McClellan. VII. Ocn. Fitz John Porter, who was Gen. Patterson's chief of Staff, and who Itnssin '0 been found guilty by a Court Mar tial of treasonable neglect of orders and refusal to fight at the second battle of Bull Run, whereby Gen. Pope _was defeated, and who was therefore cashiered from the army, is a thick and thin supporter of McClellan. VIII. George 11. Wvodtcard, who de clared whilo secession was in progress, that he wanted any lino of separation of the States to run North of his Stato (Pennsylvania) and who last year pro nounced filling the Union armies by a draft unconstitutional, is a zealous parti san of MoClcllon's elcctton. IX. lloratiu Seymour, who in 1861 proposed to a friend that the Stato of New York should adopt the Montgomery Con stitution and so join the Southern Con federacy, is stumping our State for Mc- Clollan. X. Rodman M. Price, ex-Governor of New Jersey, who wroto a public letter to M. W. Burnett, of Newark, urging that New Jersey should secede from the Union and join the Southern Confederacy, il stumping day aud night for MeClellan. XI. V. Godfrey G anther, Mayor of this City, has vetoed the Common Coun cil's recent reaolvo to illuminate our City on account of the great Union victories, in a message surcharged with Copperhead malignity aud thinly disguised sympathy for the rebel cause. lle presided at tho great MeClellan Ratification in Union Square. XII. Thousands of open, active rebels, many of whom have served in the Rebel armies, are now at home in Kentucky or Missouri, under the folds of the Union flag. Every one of these, while still a Rebel, will vote (if permitted) for Me- Clellan; while every one who has got his "rights," and wants the Union to triumph over the Rebellion, is for Lincoln and Johnston. And so with the thousands of Southern refugees and fugitives in this aud other Northern cities. Fellow citizens ! we spoak what we do know, and what you also may know if you will drop into any place of popular resort and sit quietly till yon hear one whoso talk betrays his sympathy with the Reb els and his hope aud trust that they may yet triumph, and you will soon hear him blowing for MeClellan and cursing the President for not keeping him longer at the head of tho Union forces. (We can hardly forgive him for keeping the Great Unready there so long.) Aud wherever, from Lapland to Australia, you find a man who wishes success to the Slavehold er's Rebellion, theroynu have a man who favors the election of George B. MeClell an. If'yon like that company, go in ! The Union cause can do without you. —N- Y- Tribune. AN ExTItAOIimNABY BECJOJNO LET TEtt. —The Mcsager dm Midi states that Baron do Rothehild possesses the most volumiuour collection of begging letter* that any linaucier ever received. They form a complete series. Among the num ber is one lately addressed to tho Baron, containing the very tempting proposition that for the bagatelle of 500,00Uf. the writer would eugago to show how ho could prolong his life to the age of one hundred and fifty years. The fallowing is the Barons reply: "Sir—it has fre quently happened to mc to be threatened with death if I did not give a sum of mon ey. You are certainly the first that has ever asked for it in proposing to prolong my life. Your propsition is without doubt, far better aud more humane. But my religion traches me that we are all under the haud of God, and I will not d
