,In the afternoon bf the second day, a
',Muted PeaOe Platform,' which irr'est pub

of Gen. McClellac,lThos. .11. Seymour,

others were brought forward-as candidates
for President. Ad tumultuous debate
followed. Mr. Har4is, of Maryland' aid :

Mr. Harris: read McOlcilan's order of
I arrest against the Legislature Af Mary
land, and probeeded to comment upon the
same, but the confusion was so graatthat
the sneaker amid not he heard. Ile was
understood to!say that all the charges of
usurpation and tyranny that can beihro't
against Lincoln and Antler lie could Make
and substantiate against McClellan.—
[Hisses, cheers, •and:cries of "Vo[O, for

Jett' Davis."] - 1 1 .'1;
Mr. Harris' proceeded to say that ;Gen.
McClellan was an aasasin of State rights,
an usureer °flour liberties, and if, nomi
nated he would be - beaten everywhere, as
he was at Antietam. IHe added that he
could net go home and ask the members
of the Legislature of his State to vote for
such a man. 'He would not hituselflYote .
for him. [Hisses.] t ;1
Mr. Carrigan, !of Pennsylvania, - raised
a - point of order, that the ge.ntleman
having said that 'be would not vote: for
McClellan itnonainated he had no right
to take part 'in the proceedings of the
Convention. .1 • 1 s;
The President , decided that the Point,
point was tv'ell.:taked : and, amidl the'
wildest confueloh,
Mr. Harris retired from the small
Gen. Morgan, Of Ohio, as a folloW'sol:
I
l McClellan; could of McClel' could not remain silent
,
;while the name and fame of that dietin
,
guislied general was so shainefullyiim
pugned; The 'charge was untrue. When
the Maryland I4egislature was iu session
at Annapoiis, Oen. Joe Johnson, of he
rebel army, was at Annapolis, an the
'conspiracy Was formed, and certain idea:-
I bars of the Legisla‘ure Fere conspirators.

They intended that 1111 State should EC -
cede, and inn ordinance i of secessiou;l l tras
framed. Maryland was to be invaded,
'overwhelmed 107 the, enemy, and taken
; out of the Union' What did Gen. 11e
101611an,do ? :Pe simply took the hest
precautions in, his porbr to thwart the
treasonable seheMe, and had he net so
done, be would have been guilty of ;the
' vilest treason. The mi.n w ho says that
Gen. McClellan is a tyrant does not kiew
him. A thorciugh soldier, with the gen

that what he had said Was that be could

- Mr.'Jones, of Maryland, regretted that
the gentleman Who had taken the stand
in defence of Gen'. McClellan had assumed
the ground bellied, and intimated that
there was a collukien between the ineni
hers of the Legislature and certain rebel
generals. Had, he put it upon creditable
evidences, he .(Mr Jdnes) might have
remained silent; but he could not permit
the Legislature lof Matyland to bel:So

Mr.' Jones said' that so far -from beiAg

by the victims lOf that action an utter
falsehood. Thell,egislatirre had no poWer

trial, even by drum-head. coul i t•tuartial;
but, instead of-giving them that justice
which the law gharanteed to the poorest
among us; they were told that they could
have their liberty only by giving their
parole. Some of them, worn out by the
fatigues of imprisonment, did_finally give
their parole, but - ithers preferred to yield
their lives rather than submit to the hit
, miliating test that was required of them.
This day they know not their accusers.
Still he believed McClellan wrs too much
of a gentleman unde. christian 'to act as
he did, except upon what he 'deemed
creditable evidence: •
Mr. Long, of Ohio, took the stand i'n',
opposition to McClellan. Ile said Lin
coin had been guilty of interfering with_
the freedom of speech, 'freedom of dee
' tions, and of arbitrary arrests. In you'r
resolutions, Mr. Long said, yoit have ar
raigned him before the people of the
country for these tyrannies and usurpa
tion©, and yet you propose to nominate a
man who has gone even farther than Lin•
coin in the perpetration of similar tyran
ical measures upon the sacred privileges
and rights of the people. McClellan is
guilty of the arrest of the Legislature of
a severeign State. He hase- suspended
the writ of habeas corpus, and helped to
enforce the odious emancipation procla
mation of Lincoln. The willing instru
ment of a corrupt and tyrannical Admin
istration, aiding, . while 'Assessing the
military power, to strip Amerioan ftee
men of their dearest liberties, will you so
far stultify yourselves as to make him the
standard •bearer of the Democracy ? With
lall my heart, I hope net. He had never
done otherwise, and as between Lincoln
and Fremont, and any calling himself
even Mi . a Democrat, he would have a
choice and would be found voting. with
his friends, but he begged the • liven
!ion not to nominate McClellan. Almost
any 'other man who claims to be a Demo
crat would satisfy him, and would satisfy
'the' Northwest. Wreak as is your plat
form in many respects, we will stand up
and do all in our power to maintain it,
but in God's name don'e add to its weak. ;
.aces by placing snail a man in nomination.

from McClellan's letters to Burnside, to
Halleck, and. Buell, when these gentle.
men were under him, to show that lie
invariably admonished them that the only
object of the war was to preserve the in
tegrity of the Union and the majesty of
the laws, and that he invariably cautioned
them to strictly guard against-. any in
fringement upon the rights of property
and person.- [Great applause.]
On voting for President the result
stood at first, McClellan 162, scattering
64. The different delegations then began
to change their votes, and the result was,
for McClellan 2021, for Thomas H Soy

was made unanimous

nominated for Vice President on the see.

With nine cheer's fol. the ticket, the
Convention adjourned, subject to the call

li!esolved, That it is the highest duty
of every American citizen to maintain
H of
all their enemies the integrity of
thetrniob, and the paramount authority
of the Constitution and Laws of the Uni
ted States; and that laying aside all dif
-1
feronces of political opinions, we 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 rzging I
against its authority, and in bringing to!
the punishment due to their crimes the
'rebels and traitors arrayed against - it.
Resolved, That we approve the deter
mination of the Government of the United
States not to compromise with rebels,nor
to offer any terms of peace except such as
may be based upon an "unconditional!
surrender" of their hostility and a return
to their just allegiance to the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States, and
that we 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 heroic valor, and the undy
ing devotion of the American people to 1
their country and its free institutions. • I
Resolved, That as Slavery was the,
cause, and now constitutes the strength
of this rebellion, and as it must be always
and everywhere hostile to the principles
of republican government, justice and the
national safety demand its utter and cora.
PLATIORICI
I,plete extirpation from the soil of the re , •
public, and that we uphold and maintain
the acts and proclamations by which the
government,in its own defense,has aimed
a death-blow at this gigantic evil. We
are in favor, furthermore, of such an
amendment to the Constitution, to be
made by the people in conformity with
its provisions, as shall terminate-and for
ever prohibit the existence of slavery
.within the limits of the jiarisdietion of the
Uiaired States.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Amer
ican people are duo to the soldiers and
sailors of the army and navy, who have
periled their lives in defence of tleircoun
try, and in vindication of the honor of
the flag; that the nation owes to them
801110 permanent recegnition of-their .pa
triotism and valor, and ample and perma
nent provision for those of their survivors
Who have received disabling and honora
ble wounds in the service of the country;
and that the memories of those who have
fallen in its defence shall be held in grate
ful and everlasting remembrance.
Resolved,Tll6t we approve and applaud
the practical wisdom,the unselfish patriot-
ism, and unswerving fidelity to the Con-;I
I stitntiou and the principles of American
iLihertv witn which Abraham Lincoln
has discharged, under circumstances Of,
unparalleled difficulty, .the great dutids

demanded by the emergency and essential
to ;the preservation of the nation, and as'
within the Coustitutiou,the measures and
acts which he has adopted to defend the
nation against its open and secret foes.;.
that we approve especially the Proclama

ment as Union soldiers of men heretofore
held in Slavery; and that we have full
confidence in 'his determination to carry
these and all other constitutional meas
ures essential kith salvation of the coun
try into full and complete effect.
Resolved, That we deem it, essential to
the general welfare that harmony should
prevail in the national councils, and we
regard as worthy of public confidence and
official trust those only who cordially_in-,
dorse the principles proclaimed in these
resolutions,and which should characterize
the administration of the Government.
Resolved, That the Government owes
to all men employed in its armies,withont
regard to distinbtion - of color, the full
protection of the laws of war,- and that
any violation of these laws or of the usages
of civilizedpations in the time of war by
the Rebels now in arms, should be made
the subject °Hull and prompt redress.
Resolved, That, the foreign emigration
which in the past lies added so much to
the wealth and developenicnt of resources
and increase of power to this nation, the
asylum of the oppressed of all,nations,
should be fostered and encouraged by al
liberal and just policy.

speedy_ consftuction of the Railroad to
the Pacific.
Re.solvee, That the national' faith,
pledged for the redemption of the publics
debt, must be kept inviolate; and that
for this purpose. ve recommend economy
respousibility in the public
penditures, and a vigorous and just system
of taxation ; that it is the duty of every
loyal State to sustain the credit and pro
mote the use of the national currency. •
Resolved, 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 forge, or to sup.
plant by fraud, the institutions of any
republican government •on the western
continent,and that they View With - extreme
jealousy, as menacing to the peace and
independence of this, our country, the
efforts of any such power to Obtain new
footholds for monarchical governments,
sustained by a foreign military force, in
near proximity to th United States.
The Detnoerstie National Convention
which Gathered at tillaicago on the 29th of
August, and presented the names 'of
GnengE 13. ikicCLELLA - N` for President,
and GEORGE .11. PENDLETON for Vice,
President, agreed on and adopted the
following
PLATE'OI.3I
Resolved, That in the filer°, as in the
past, we will adhere with unswerving
fidelity to the Union under the gonstitu
tih as' the only solid foundation of our
strength, security, and happiness as a
pectple, and as a framework of government
eqUally conducive to the welfare, and
prosperity of all the States, both North
ern and Southern.
Resolved, 'That this Convention does
explicitly' deClare, as 'the sense of the
American people, that, after our of
failure to restore the. Union by the ex
periment of war, during which, under the
pretense of a military necessity or war
porter higher than the .Constitution;-the
ConStitutron itself has been disregarded
in every part, and public liberty and pri
vate right alike trodden down, and the
material prosperity of the country tun
tially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty
and the public welfare, demand that im
mediate efforts be made fora cessation, of
hostilities, " with a view to_ari ultimate
Convention of all the States; or other
peaceable means to' the end that at the
earliest practioble Moment nodes, may be
restored on the basis of the Vederal Union
of the States. .
Resolved, That "the direct interference
of the militrry authOrity of the United
States iu the recent election* held in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Del
aware, was a shameful violation, of 'the
Constitution, and the repetitimi ;of such
acts in the approaching election - Will be
held as revolutionary, and resisted with
all the means andpower under ourcontrol.
Resolved, That "the aim "and;:object of
the Democratic party is to preserve the
Federal 'Union and, the rig'uts of the
States unimpaired, and they Wreby de
clare that they -consider 'the AdMinistra-
Live usurpation of-extraordinary and dan
gerous powers nit granted by the Consti-
Lion, the subversion -of 'the loivil 'by .
military law in States not in insurrection,
the arbitrary military arrest, imprison
ment, trial and sentence 'of American
citizens in States where civil lay exists
in full force, the suppression of ireedem
of speech and of the press, the denial of'
the right of asylum, the open andlavowed
disregard of State rights, the empleyment
of unusual test oaths, and the interference
with and denial of the right of the, people
to bear arms, as calculated to prevent a
restoration of the Union and the perpetu-
Lion of a government •derivilig its just
powers from the consent of the governed.
PesolVed, That the shameful dil•egard
of the 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 and earnestly
extended to the soldiers of ournraiji, who
aro and have been in the field undeethe
flag of our. country"; •and in the event of
our attaining power,• they Will receive all
the care and protection, regard and] kind
ness, that the brave soldiers, of the
public have so nobly earned.
This Platform, it will 'he steep, in 'no
manner condemns, 'even by implication,
the . gige.ntic Rebelaon which' has solqculg
crimsoned our fields with the most preci-
OUS blood of our - countrymen. It conceals
the facts that the war Was inaugtiratee. by
,the -Rebels alone, and that theyli had
wrenched from the nation nearly half its
1 1fortressee, armories, arsenals, sub-treasur
ies, mints, custom-houses, tke., &c.; 'and
made prisoners of the bulk of its :little
army, before a single shot was fired ois!the
side ofi the Union. The Rebel chieftains
who falsely, Tillainously asserted, -dirnot
lv after . the takinr, of Fort Sumter, that
Lincoln - and the _Abolitionists had declar
ed war on the South, and thereby dragged
jVirginia, North Carolina and Arkansas'

Of necessary self defence, are practically!
countenanced and upheld by this title
Platform, which speak as if this trail had
been wantonly inaugurated on khe paoof
the National authorities, and might have
been avoided had they ehersen. There is
not one word,in this Platform Whieh ellen
intimates that the Rebels have done! any
wrong, or that the Government in rCsii,t
ing their efforts havdone any thing right.
The Democratic Platform demands
wholly - and'unqualifiedly that the 'Oar
shall, on the Part of the Union' he stopped.
Suppose this were done tomorrow. Pres
ident Lincoln tends an 'envoy to - Jell.
Davis, saying "Let us have a - cessation of
hostilities." "Certainly," responds Jeff.
", Withdraw your forces from the created
erapy, raise your blockade and I agree in
