PEACE DEMOCRACY.

In the history OF the United States no pc
l;t;cal organization has occupied so mean
piiful cowardy position as that taken by
the peace democracy in the Presidential cam,
paign of 1861. The recent Chicago copper.
head convention was controlled by the peace
men, who denounced the draft as illegal
unconstitutional and tyranncal;" and this is
the hue and cry Of all the coppcrhead papers
throughout the country. The Dubuque Her.
oil of the 4th inst. says:
Tomorrow is the day appointed for as
shameful an outrage MS was ever perpcrated
upon free people in any age or in any
cline
Yet what do these anti draft men do p
They turn right around and give the lie to
their own words by nominating for the Pres,
ilency the man who was the very first per-
son to propose draft. In his pennsular
campaign of 1862 Gen. Mcclellan had lost
over 10, 900 men, and he found it necessary

wrote letter to the President, copy Of

Now with what consistency can the cop.
candidate has approved and sanctioned:
Again. The platform Of the peace democ
racy has good deal to say about arbitrary
arrests, the suhversicn Of civil by military
law in States not in rebellion, &c. Do they
forget that it was Gen. Mcclellan who order,
cd the arbitrary arrest and Imprisonment Of
the Maryland Legislature for reasonable in,
reference with military operations in his
Department
Now ali this means fraud,--a fraud so
transparent that we wonder that any can be
deceived by it. The traitorous villains thai
controlled the Chicago Convention knew that
it would never do for them to nominate an
out-and-o out peace man like Nallandig h,m,
so they put up a man that has had sort Of
war record, and under tho prestige Of his
military name endcavor to deceive the PEG.
pie. Is any man foolish enough to suppose
that Vallandisham, Wood, Seymour, Bel
mont, Wickliffa, and men Of their stamp
would suiftr the nomination Of Mcclellan il
they had not first had the most positive as.
surance that if he should be elected he would
carry out their policy? If any well wisher
of his COUNTRY has for a moment entertained
the thought of voting for Nee lellan, let him
stop and think Of who Little Mac S" back,
ers are, and then ask himself if he is pre-
pared to help place in power an administra
ton that would have in its cabinet c. l.
Nallandigham, Fernando Wood and IIoratic
Seymour. II Mcclellan is elected Nalan
digham will in reality be the Presidcnt,-o
in other words, the rcins Of government vii
pass into the hands of a sworn ally of jeff
Davis. If any other proof is wanting to es
tablish the fact that Mcclellan has sold him
self out to the enemies Of his country, W
have only to refer to his associate on tn
ticket. Pendleton, the candidate for Vice
President is an openly ayowcd peace mar
and has been ever since the breaking out c

any terms the Southern traitors may see Il

But we have sufficient faith in the intell
