Lost ! have you seen it— a fugitive heart,
Tender and warm as the white boeom o'er It;
Well might I tell how it fluttered and fell
Into the hanls that so gallantly bore it
Off, and away, while I wondered all day,
When it went from me so sweetly, completely—
Wondered if yet my gay lover would say
I, as a maiden had acted discreetly 1
Hut on the morrow, my sorrow was great,
As I stood waiting, and watching, and weeping,
Tor they had told me, hut told me too late,
(lone was my heart in most treacherous keeping.
(lone ; so they said, with a toss of the head,
But to be tramped in tho dust of the City ;
Ilow the words filled mo, and thrilled me with
dread —
Dread of the cold world's contemptuous pity !
Trampled, despoiled, in the dust of the street,
Of the sweet past hut a pnarionltv# token ;
i Bwept hy the breeze, like tho leaves a! my feet
Hit ' 'tis the tempter this outrage hath spokeu !
Lost 1 mud the strain still again and again
Mingle its plaint with life's turbulent fjTtr ?
Then will I take up the we try rsfrtia,
I Sing ng, nr.d ripgipg the sad note* forever.
Gone; with the beauty-bloom fresh on niy chuek ;
Il.ost ; with the I right years still over me leap
ing;
False ! basely lalse ; 'tis (he word I must speak ;
Never they know of its treacherous keeping
Say ; would ho mock me with lovingest words,
Stealing my heart so completely, find sweet'y,
Then, when his own, with its quiverirg chords,
Scornfully smile that 1 did indiscreetly ?
Nay ; I protest, 'lis not lost, as they say,
i For the dear hands a.l so tenderly bore it
Uff and away, while I wmilered ail day,
If in hi# bosom my gay lover wore it ?

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
GENERAL M<CLELLAN S LETTER OF
ACCEPTANCE,
ORANGE. NEW JERSEY. )
September 8, 1564 tj
GENTLEMEN: T have the honor to acknowl
eil je the receipt of your 'etter informing me
of tny nominati°n by the Democratic Nation
a' Convention, rece ily assembled at Cliicigo,
as their candidate at the next election for
Prestdeat ofihe United States.
It is unnecessary for me to say to you that
this cotnes unoughL
1 atn happy t • know that when the nomin
ation -ii c made, the record of tny public life
was kept in view.
The i-flVct of lon and varied service in the
army dtirirg war ard {eace, has been to
strengthen and make indelible in my mind
and heart the love and reverence for the Un
ion, C< nstiuition, laws, HI d Hag of our conn
irv. impressed upon me in early youth.
These fi.-elin.-s have thus far guided the
course of my life, and must continue to do o
to i ts end.
Th vxisterccof mere than one gov* rnrr.cn!
over the region which once owned our llae is
Incompatible with the peace, the power, and
the happiness of ihe people.
The preservation of our Union was the sole
av-wed object for which the war was corn
inenced. It should have been conducted for
that object o-ilv,a id in accordance with those
principles wiiioh [ took occasion to declare
when in active st rvic.
Thus conducted, the w< rk of reconciliation
would have been easy, and we might have
reaped tin* benefits uf our many victories on
land and sea.
The Union was originallv formed by the
exercise of asp rit <>f conciliation and coii
proiuise. To restore and preserve if, the
-ama spirit tr.u<t prevail in our councils, and
in the hearts of the people.
I'lie ree-tabliahment of the Union in all its
intt grity is, and must continue to be, the
indispensibie coalition* in any settlement,—
So si on as it is eh ar, or even probable, that
ur present adversaries are t'eady for peace
upon the b.as.s of the Union, wo ill ml i ex
haust >di the r-sources of statesmanship prac
t std bv civilized nations, and taught by the
t rani' mns of the Atncr can pe- pie, consistent
with the honor an I interests of the country,
to secure such peace, reestablish the Uri'on,
and guarantee lor the fu ure the c nsiitutii n
a rigiits of every State. The Union is the
one condition of peace—we ask no more.
L-*t me aid what, I d übt not was, altho'
uiiexpresss I, the sent iuieut of tiie C nvention
as it is of tfie pet pie th#j represent, that
when tny one Sta'e is willing to return to
ihe Union, it should be received at once,
with x full guarantee of all its constitutional
riglus
it a frank, earnest, and persistent effort to
btain those objects should fail, the responsi
bility f.p ultertor consequences will fall upon
those who remain in arms against the Union,
But the Union must be .preserved at all haz
A rds.
I could not 1 ok in the fsce of my gailant
C'tniades of the army and navj*, who have
ui vived i>o many bloody battles, and tell
them that their labors and the sacrifice of so
many of our slain and wounded brethren had
been in vain ; tJ at we had abandoned that
Union f r which we have so often periled our
lives.
A v ist majority of our people, whether in
the army and mvy or at home, would, as 1
wottl 4, hail with unbounded joy the perma
nent restoration of peace, on the basis of the
Union under the Ccivtitalion, without the
effusion of another drop of blood. But no
peace can be permanent without Union,
As to the other subjects presented in the
resolutions of tho Convention, I need only
say that I should seek, in the Constitution of
the United States and the laws framed in
accordance therewith, the rule of my duty,
and the limitations of executive power ; en
deavor to rcstotc economy in public expendi
ture, reestablish tho supremacy of law, and,
by the operation of a more vig >r ms national
ity, resume our commanding positions an nig
the nation*, of the earth.
The condition of our finances, the depreca -
tion of the piper tn rney, an 1 the burdt-n*
thereby imposed on labor and capital, show
tho necessity of a return to asm.-i 1 financial
system ; while the rights of cnizi iis, and th *
r'ghts of S'ates, and the brnding authority of
law over President, army, and people, are
subjects of not less vital importance m war,
than in jit ace.
Beltevmg that the views here expressed are
those of the Convention and the people you
iepresent, I accept the nomination.
1 realize the weight of the responsibility
to be b <rn, should the people ratify your
choice.
Conscious of my ' wn weakness, I can only
seek fervently 'l.e guidance of the Ruler of
the universe, and, reiving on llis all powerful
aid, do tny best to restore union and peace to
a suffering people, and to establish and guard
their liberties and rights,
I am, gentlemen,
very respectfully,
your obedient servant,

OUT FOR TATTLE MAC."
Judge Maynard, who ran for President
Jtt ige in the Northampton district on the so
called Union ticket in 1801. against Judge
Jordan, is out for Tattle Mac.
The New London Chronicle, a Republics?!
paper in Connecticut, which had Lincoln and
Johnon at its mast-head, has pulled down
their names and hoisted those of McClellan
& Pendletoh.
George D. Prentice, for many t ears the
hading opponent of the Democracy in the
State of Kentucky, is out strong for General
MvCMlan.
I
Ex-President Fillmore is very earnest in
his support of the nomination of McClellan
and Pendleton. This fact should lead all
honest and conscientious opponents of the:
Democratic party to ponder well the merit* j
of the several candidates for the Presidency, <
before detemining upon their choice. The
judgment of so able, upright and pure a pa
triot as Millard Fillmore is certainly worth
considering in so momentious a crisis as the
present.
Governor Bramlette of Kentucky, whose
election was claimed by the Republicans ns a
Lincoln victory, supports McClellan and Pen
illeton. Gen Leslie Coombs and IL>n, M
Underwood, of the same State, are also *up
poru'rs of Little Mac
Geo. S. IMliard of Massachusetts, always
heretofore opposed to the Democracy, is tut
for McChlhut and Pendleton.
Amos Kendall, Gen, Jackson's Postmaster
General, is one of tho most ardent suppport
, ers of Little Mac in the whole Union.

The Na ional Intelligencer, the most re
liable new* g earn it in tno L titod S*ates,
and which never before supported a Damn
! cratie candidate for tho Presidency, comes
i cut in a long and able leack-r. endorsing the
> '** i a. v. „
'nomination of McClellan and Pendleton, and
earnestly reccuuiends their election.
The Somerset (Md.) Herald, hitherto a
strong opposition paper, hoists the names of
j the Democratic nominee for President and
Vice President.
Washington Hunt, formerly Whig Gov
ernor of New York, supports McClellan and
Pendleton.
James J. Thayer, the most eloquent ora
tor in the Slate of N Y , and once the b>s >in
friend and political partisan of Henry Clay,
' is an enthusiastic supporter of McClellan and
1 Pendleton.
Hon. K Igar Cowan. United States Settan-r
from this Slate, and one of the leading men
in the Republican party, is opposed to Mr.
Lincoln, and favorable to McClellan election.

might have the honor of entering the rebel

Another Draft Coming.
Gov. Seymour, of N>*w York, addressed
the Democracy of Pniiadelphia at the Key
stone headquarters on the s;h instant and
said :
'•I dot speak unadvisedly when I say that
this is not the "la-t draft " The three year
men who enlisted it} the commencement <d
the war will havu served three year* in tin
spring of 18J5, and they will ali be coining
home in the spring. They will come auioug
y ou, decimated and weakened, ami then the
heaviest draft that was ever given tho cmiii
try will bo sent upon us. Tha Adtninistia
tion will call for men for one year ju-i before

to thiow off from his mind the effect of the

who was with him to sirg "Paradise Butler,"

mi a b t-r. followed by two Sisters of Charity,
were coming up the cross road. A little
quickening of the Presidential party would
carry theui tcross in front of the funeral par

of General McClellan. whose reverence for a

LINCOLN WILLING RO TRUST MCCLELLAN.
A significant comm-ntary on tho attacks
of the aboliontsta ,n Gen McC.ellan is, that
while the small try lave been denouncing
hun a- a coward and a traitor, President Lin
coln was offering to give tutu any position he
might name if he Would hut reiuse the nomi
nation for the Presidency. The p oof of this
is a r. C'-ni speech ol II >n M mtg >nery Blair.
