sagaciiy, thai the Democratic Convention
which meets al Chicago in July, will III it
adopt any platform do so upon the ba-
sis Of the war programme suggested by
General MCCLELLAN. Tie radicals would
like TO have it Otherwise. They are exas.
perated beyond measure that the Democ-
racy won't consent 10 be diSlogoi, but II is
foolish rage. The Democracy cant "ifill-
ate with the conspiracy at Washington,
or The conspiracy at Richmond. 1t pro-
tests against both. It's mission is TO
save HE Union and the laws from both
conspiracies and both set Of conspira,ors.

The above prediction" Of the Plain
Dealer, which is supposed TO know a good

will shape their Presidential policy in ac.
cordsnce with the Mcclellan programme,

although claiming no '"~prophetic KEN
might safely risk something more va'ua.
Die than his "credi. for any sagaciiy,"
upon SO plain a proposition. We can as.
sure the Pain Dealer it is mistaken in
%supposius 'Phe radicals would like &c
have it Otherwise !" believing the old
Democratic organization to be thoroughly
and hopelessly disloyaI, they care nothing
for such minor matters Of policy. What
have unconditional Union men to choose
between the two wings Of a party, one o
which is for immediate peace with rebels
on such terms ms they may dictate, and
the other sees no difference between I'll,
