Mcclellan has been nominated for stan
dard bearer of the Copperheads in the en-
suing campaign. This nomination puts the
democracy i'll a strange predicament, For
many months past there has been eontin-
uaI babIing about arbitrary arrests, ''des-
potic military rule, drafts, - 'confiscation,"
military emancipation, &c. These subjects
have been the chief stock in trade by the
copperhead politicians of every stripe; but
in all of these things SO much complained
of by the enemies of the administration Mr..
Mcclellan has been the most prominent and
conspicuous actor We shall now see
whether the copperleads will continue to
pirate about arbitrary arrests, " 'trampling
on the constitution" ''abridging personal
liberty" and things of this sort, when they
now h ave candidate, who in the exercise
of his military authority, ordered the entire
body of the Maryland Legislature to be ar

McCleltan's record can BOW be thrust into
the faces of the revilers OF Mr.. lincoln, and
they are compelled to swallow, what they
have heretofore pretended to leathe and alb
hor. The copperheads for the sake of con-
sistency as well as common decency, should
cease talking about the despo4ism of Liner, In
for by the endorsement of Mcclellan, thew
virtually endorse and appoSe,al that they
have pretended to conde.nn in Lincoln.

Democracy the same, North or South.

Whoever witnessed or read the doings in
and about the Chicago Convention, must
have been reminded of the fact that the con-
vention would have answered in most par
ticulars as well in Richmond or Charleston
as in Chicago. Very little was said by the
speakers, who addressed the convention, or
the crowd outside the convention, which
would not have been vociferously applauded
BY a crowd of rebels any where in rebeldom.
JefDavis himself, would have smiled APPROX
ingly, and would have had scarcely any &C.
casion for fault-inding with any of the ut
terances of the northern copperhead orators.
The peace democracy of the north, and
the rebel democracy of the south, have real
ly such strong points Of similarity, that they
naturally run together, and mentally kiss
each other. If the copperhead convention
at Chicago, had only laid aside little deli
cacy in the matter, and nominated JEFF Da-
Wis for the Presidency. the marriage be-
tween the peace democrats of the north and
the hutternut rebels of the south, would
have been fitting and complete. ~

''We commend these terms of peece as
laid down by the Richmond Enquirer to
our friends who are having SO much to say
about peace, and who are to do such great

A Trnin of Cars lifted on the Track

~NE'S'E'E'FNII,
In an accident on the Indianapolis and Gin,
cinnati Railroad, few days ago, about thirty
persons were wounded, one or two probably
fatally: none were killed. The train consisted
Of three passenger and one baggage car, and
was completely wrecked. The engineer. seeing
the approaching hurrieauejus as the train near
red Witzsls bridge, put steam in order to
clear the bridge and gain the sheter of an emb-
ankment ahead, but the tornado struck the ain
in funnel-shaped ravine with such force as to
lift the cars from the track. Two passenger cars
made two complete revolutions and landed with
their wheels uppermost. In the same vicinity
stone walls were leveed and the massive roo
of large stone house was lifted from the walls
and carried a considerable distance

What Peace Democracy Means!

The aim and purpose of the peace democ-
racy simply this-nothing more or
less.-1t is to celse fighting the rebellion
to strike hands with rebels III arms; to enter
at once into amicable relations with traitors
and turn the tide of this war intoa war
against the existing Government. This is
no exaggerated statement of the meaning of
the peace, for which the coppereeads are now
so clamorous. The burden of the speeches
of the great majority of the democratic
leaders at the Chicago Convention all tend
to this point and no candid man will deny
it. The theme of the copperhead orators is
the tyranny of the government, and the ne
cessity of a speedy peace understanding with
the rebels In brief it is proposed to change
the direction of the present war into war
upon the administration. This is the true
definition of the peace democracy.
The peace which the copperheads propose
means Misunderstanding more or less.
Jeff Davis the President of the Southern
peace the only terms on which it can have
it is, to withdraw its armies and recognize
his rebel government. The copperheads of
the north know this to be the only method
of peace offered by the south. Is it not
therefore, legitimate conclusion, that the
peace democracy of the north, who are clam
orous for stopping the war, are ready and
willing to give jeff Davis friendly greet
ting-consent to dismemberment of the
Union, which is equivalent to the destruc-
ton of the government? Who would have
believed few years ago that any considera-
BILE party would be found in the northern
states SO degraded sneakingly proposing
peace on terms so disreputable and unwor-
thy free men.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. as we ex-
peeted, the copperhead convention at Chica-
go, adopted no platform, only few unmean-
ing sentences of twaddle, wholly evasive of
our great national issues. The composition
Of the convention was such, that any clear
ly defined principles in the shape of plat
form would have been an impossibility.
Whatever of patriotism the democratic par
ty once had, has died out, and has been sue
ceeded by base subserviency.

The WorId'S Washington special says
"Most encouraging accounts are received
from every quarter as to the number of re-
cruits now being obtained. In Pennsylvania
about 90, 900 men have been recruited;quite
as many in New York, while New England
has furnished 90, 900, and perhaps, when all
the returns are received, the number will be-
found to be even greater than this. The
Western States are also doing very well.
''For some time past reinforcements at TIE
rate of 1000 per week have been going for
ward to the Army of the Potomac. and for
Ike next two or three weeks It is expected
that LOO per day will be forwarded.
"The average number now obtained daily
throughout the country is about l, 900, and
this number iwill be increased to 1000 or
$4,000 per day before the 9Th of September.
At the least 10000 men will have been
raised for the army and navy Ibefore the day
named,no counting the credits on previous
call or those arising from former naval
enlistments.

The Charleston Mercury laughs at the
idea that there can be a reunion of the
Northern and Southern States, and says the
only way to be at peace with the Southern

''When South Carolina seeded from the
United States she invited her sister slave
holding States of the South to form with
her "a Slavehoding Confederacy.' Bitter
experience had proved that slaveholding
and non-slaveholding States could not live
