_National Ticket:
- . POE PRESIDENT, •
GEORGE. B. Ig'CLELLAN,
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
FOR VICE FILESIDINT,
GEO. H. PENDLETON,
OF 01110.
The Tkiet.
In another part of to-day's paper we
publish an extended account of the great
Democratic Convention which convened
at Chicago on Monday and lasted until
Wednesday evening. It will beseerf that
the expectations of our political enemies
that its proceedings would end in discord
;rand tlisaste4, have been doomed - to disap
' peintment. and that the Democratic party:
stands thoroughly united, -as it has ever
been in spirit and sentiment, for the sake
of the Union. AU accounta : agree in re•
porting the attendance as the largest that
ever convened on an occasion of similar
character, and the disposition
,that perva
ded every heart was a resolute determina
tion to standby one another through all
circtimstances, seeking by conciliation and
compromise for the success of the com-
- MOD cause.
Of the ticket we have no room now to
speak at length. It meets our entire ap
proval, and will be hailed throughout the
- fength and breadth of the nation with an
enthusiasm such as has never been rallied
around any Presidential standard-bearer
since thedays of. Jackson. Placed in nom
ination without a dissentina.voice, it will
receive the unanimous support of all who
love the'Constitution and Union, and de
sire the speedy return of peace and pioa
verity to the land. We know very well
the immense obstacles which lie in -the
road to success, but we are vastly mistaken
in the temper of the people -if , the nomi
nation of Geo. B. McClellan ; and Geo. H.
Pendleton is not "ratified" by them in
November next by a majority such as has
never been recorded in our political his
tory.
• Few Phda Weeds is Erie City Deseerate.
We are almost daily asked by persons
from the country: "Why don't the Demo-
crats of Erie city organize and endeavor to
do something f We in the townships look
,for them to take the initiative, and' we are.
discouraged by their apparent sluggishness
or timidity." Our invariable answer is, that
so far as we are personally concerned, we
have done the best we could to have a
- plan of thorough organisation adopted,
but, from some unaccountable reason, the
men who are able and should bewilling to
lend a helping - hand in the effort do not
exhibit any hearty interest in the scheme.
The fact cannot be disguised that our
city Democrats do not evince the spirit
that is demanded at this* crisis. While
their brethren in the country are wide
awake to the necessities of the hour, and
are everywhere organizing and taking
measures to aid the cause, we in the City
are doing comparatively nothing. The
same has been the case ev:er since the war
commenced. A few active men have done
all the labor, and the majority have been
content to look on, giving encouragement
enough by their wards, but little or noth:'
ing by their deeds. Especially has this
been so with men of wealth and influence,
The working classes, as a general thing,
have been enthusiastiCally ready to assist
in any measures for the good of the party,
but they have invariably found themselves
diaheartened by the apathy of those who
could and should have been willing to
help on their efforts with their means and
influence.
The time has come now when every
man's services are needed—the services of
his means, of his time, and of his position.
AU Democrats feel that on the defeat of
Abraham Lincoln depends the future wel
fare of thus country. One more such Ad
ministration as we have had during the
last three years, and the ruin of the Amer
ican people is fixed as inevitably . N the
coming of the day of judgment. -11 11 be ,
hooves all, therefore, who believe in the
truth of Demonratic principles, who wish
to preserve the liberties handed down to
ni by our forefathers, and who desire
pesos instead orwar, to go to work with an
energy such as they have never displayed
before, to strive for the success of that
party which only can avert the dire calam
ities that threaten us.- The national
interests demand of every man • that he
shall do WI whole duty. Oar citizens of
wealth must come forward- and pour forth
their treasure to assist in circulating Oa
umente, procuring speakers and getting
up meetings. Oar business men must rise
up' to the importance of the occasion, - and
• throw off the sluggishness or cowardice
which has oharaisterised them heretofore.
- Our men of speaking dent must put on
the harness and take the stump in advo
eacy of She doctrines k)f eternal truth.
Our men of poiition mist enlist-in-the
work personally, and endeavor to secure
the votes of those over whom they have
influence. Let it be kept Steadily in mind
'• that if we fail in this contest all is lost.
Pour yews more like thus just past, and
the very wealthiest will be .no better-off
than the laborers in .thrtir employ.: There
can no - exdises, fe i r a Ludifference now.
The Democrat who . f to throw all his
energies into the scale in a strife wiioh
involve' his personal freedom, the see, ity
of his property, the welfare , (.1f the fal ly,
and the perpetuity of hi' •Governto at,
will stand forever condemned in the sight
of his fellow men, of his own conscience,
- and of posterity. - He will have : proven
himself fit to bathe cringing stave that he
wilt surely become-if the tyranny of Abe
Lincoln and his satellites is perpetuated.
-The:Democrats of - other parts of North
Western Pennsylvania gre looking to those
al ,ffrievity for example and counsel. A
hearty, enthusiastic movement here in aid
of the cause, will inspire 'additional seal

it really in heart and numbers a Demo
cratic one. Our political enemies hive

The Draft
The law of Congress requires that fifty
days' notice of a draft ihall be given to
&Wow 'time for districts to fill their quotas.
The Presidont't proclamation for the
Present call of five hundred thousand
man, is dated July 18th, 1864, (Monday)
and requires the draft to commence im
mediately after the fifth day of September
—that is to say, on the sixth day of Silt
; tember. This gives only forty.nate days'
notice. A most singular thing that in a
matter of such momentous and vital
im
portance a President of the United States
should make such at fatal blunder.
Wu= the war is successful on onrpart,
the Lincoln organs tell us that that is no
time to make peace, because the rebellion
will be speedily subdued if we go on with
the carnage. When the Confederates are
successful the same organs tell us that our
national honor will not allow peace. The
question is, when are we to have peace un

The points for the people to decide in
November, reduced to their briefest state

lst. A Democratic Atimisittretion, with
peace, compromise and re-union, no more

2d. Four yews more of Limas Acisinio•

permanent separation.

as follows ;
Gentlemen of the Conventio i n—l can
not forecaste the resolutionsend action of
this Convention, but I can bay that every
member of.. it loves the Unicin, desires
peace and will uphold constitutional free
dom. While the resolutions and action of
this Convention are of tholututost impor
tance, there are reasons Why ;the Demo
cratic party should be restored to power,
and they are great reasons. The .Demo
credo party will restore the Union because
it longs for its restoration. • It I will bring
pace, because) it loves liberty. .i It will put
down despotism. because it hates the
noble tyranny which now degrades the
American people. •

The Adininistration cannot save this
Union. Wb can. Mr. Lincoln values
many things above the Union-.-we put
it first of, all. He thinks a proclamation
worth more thin peace--ore think tbe
blood of our people worth more than the
edicts of the President: There, are no
hindrances in our.pathway to Union =and
peace. We demand no conditions for the
restoration of our Union. We are shack
led with no hates, no prejudicee oti 'pas
sions. We wish fee fraternal relationship'
with the people of, the South. We de
mand for them What we demand: for our
selves—the full recognition 'of the fights
of States. We mean ,that every star on
our nation's banner shall shine with an
equal lustre. In the coming election men
must decide in which of the ,two parties
into which our people are divided, they
will act. If they wish for Union, they will
act with that party - which does- ; now and
always did love and reverence that Union..
If they wish for Peace, they will act with
those who sought to avert this war and
who now seek to restore good will and har
mony among all sections of . our country.
If they care for their righti of person and
sacredness of their homes, , they will act
with those
-who have stood up to resist ar-'
bitrary arrests, despotic legialition, and
the overthrow oft the jildiciary.
If upon the other hand they'are willing
'to continue the present policy of the Gov
ernment and condition,of affairs, let them
act with that organisation 'which made,
the present condition of ouecountry, and
there are many pod men'-who will be led
to do this by their passions and prejudi
celi, and our land swarms with placemen
who will hold upon power and plunder
with a deadly grasp, but sis for us, we' are
resolved that the, party who have made
the history of our country since their ad
vent to power like so me terrible dream,
shall be overthrown. - . '
Four years ago it had its birth upon this
spot. Let us see by our action that it shall
die here where it : was born., We .desire 1
Union and Peace. The Administration
deny us Union and 'Peace. for they de.
mend conditions and MAC{ a peace which
they know will prolong the war—,and war
unduly-prolonged becomes distudote.
Wise statesmanship can bring this war
to a close upon! the terms solemnly set
forth by the Goviertunent at the outset of
the contest, the political contest in which
we ire engaged. ' We dion't risk partisan
advantages • we are battling for those who
, belong to all political organizations. We
mean that these'tights -of speech shalt be
unimpaired although that right may be
used to denounce us. We intend that the
rights of conscience shall be protected al
though mistaken views of duty may turn
the temples 'of religion into theatres for
partisan denunciation.
We ming' that home rights and the sa
credness Yaf the fireside shall be respected
by those in authority, no matte what po.
litical views may be had by those who sit
beneath their roof 'trees. When the Dew.
cemtio party shall have gained 'power, we
shall not be less but more tenacious upon
these subjet4. We have foreberne much
because those who are now charged with
the conduct of public affairs knew but lit
tle about the principles of our Goyern
ment. We were unwilling „to present an
appearance of factious opposition, but
When we shall have gained power, that
official who shall violate one principle of
law, one single right of the humblest man
in our land, shall be punished by the full
rigors of the law, it matters' not if he sits
in the Presidential chair Or holds humbler
office under our government.
We have had upon this floor a touching
,and significant proof of the folly of this
:Administration who haredriven from their
support those upon, whom they chiefly
leaned at the outset of the rebellion. Then
their hopes, even their own personal safe
ty, were upon thenoble men in the border
Stites' who, under circumstances the most
trying, severed family rebitioniiiip and
ancient associations to uphold the flag of
our country. Many of these men are now
members of this Convention. They bear
impressed on their oottntenances and man
ifest in their presence the high and gene
rous purpose which animates them, and
yet it is true (and great God that It should
be true) they are stung with the sense of
injustice and ingratitude of low and un

tery had the effect of drawing a large, intelli
gent and appreciative audience to the maw.
mom pavilion, all anxious to hear what the
great wit and showman bad to say upon the
occasion. About sat hour after, the opening
of the exhibition Dan wasannonnood, and-ap
peared in the ring greeted by cheers and a
clapping of hands. During the progress of an
' equestrian act, he spoke of his world-wide
travels, end, when in foreign lands, how his
thoughts turned toward his native _shore+, and
his heart thrilled at the eight of thenational
emblem of his Government. He alluded to
the stories that were circulated by the North
ern press at the commencement of the rebel
lion, that he, travelling in the South at that
time, had adopted the views of secession, and
become a traitor to the Stars and Stripes. It
ewtmo„ not necessary
as i wordsfor him to
sob pr had
pronounce
e lo t n h g e
since proved it to be a base fabrication and a
lie., He claimed that he had been unfaltering
in the support of the Union, having raised hie
voice against secession and given as much
money as any man in the United States to aid
and advance the interests of.the Union cause.
He referred to his early friendship with John
C. Breckenridge, and how, when !est they met
at Paducah, be had tried to prevail upon him
to abandon all thoughts of rebellion spinet..
the National Government. He paid an elo
quent* tribute to the memory of that noble
Kentucky patriot, the lameated Crittenden.—
Ile remembered him as the venerable, gray
haired man, the brightest genius of the age,
the noblest of Kentucky's sons, the proudest'
of heroes, the best of patriots, and the ablest ;
of fearless "gateman. The close of this pane-i
fat tribute was wildly applauded by the thou-,
sands gathered beneath the ,canopy of the
pavilion. Dan then spoke - of the present
impending crisis, and how sadly Kentucky
had been changed by thtiqrairages of war. He
alluded to the disorganised state of society;
the arrests of citizens, and the power exerr
oised by the military. He claimed that it watt
not the object of Federal bayonets to trottle
free speech, but to best back the invader,
afford protection to the'citizetut and preseive
the lawerinviolate. He- argued that the eitf r .
sans should, by firm, decided action, ; assert
their manhood, and preserve the rights guar
anteed to them by the Constitution* of the
United States. He said that the Government
should be supported. that nothing should be
done to embarrass the movements of our air
miss in crushing oat the rebellion *and rester
lag peace to a distracted country. He asserted
that if the people desired a change of rulers,
they should unite, without regard to psray
principle, concentrate their votes on some goad
man, and by the sublime power of the elective
franchise, raise him to the proud position of
Chief Magistrate of the land. He cautioned
prudence, firmness, and unity of sotion.4-
Strict • attention was paid - to his remarks
throughout, and he was frequently 'inlet:Wed.
As Dan retired from the ring, the epithet%
gained currency that he was almost aslood a
statesman as he is a showman. !We congratu
late him on his new earned laurels.
