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

are of small account.
DEMOCRACY CLASSIFIED. —PetroIeum

the modern Democratic as follows:
I—Them as would nominate Mick Lel

They arc with Democracy as the Mich

rid of it, but can,t.
" ALECK," of the Tremont Hotel in

man in the Territory. ' Reing a thorough

hard ou the upper tep—or aristocrats, as
he calls them.
" And what kind of an animal may an

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.

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.

What Feace?
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.

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<x
anything to withdraw myself from his
decrees. My refusal moreover, docs not in
.anyway atuck yourdcscovcry, from which
you will not fail, I hope, to profit your
solf. Regretting that I can not aceede to
yous proposal, I sincerely congratulate
you on the one hundred and fifty years
which you are called onto live in this
world.—Accept, Ate., J. DE ROTHSCHILD.
