THE CHICAGO PLATFORM AND CANDIDATE
IN A NUTsHELL-Atthe great Union meeting
at Faniuel Hall, Boston, on Wednesday last
Senator Sumner summed up Copperhead
principles as follows:
A vote for Copperhead principles will be,
first and foremost, vote for slavery at a
time when this crime has plunged the coun-
try into the sorrows and wastes of war.
1t will be a vote for the rebellion at a mo-
ment when tue rebellion is about to fail.
1t will be vote for disunioDyat moment
when the Union is about to be restored.
But disunion, when once started, cannot
be stopped SO that a vote for Mcclellan
will be a vote to break this Union in pieces,
and to set each State spinning in space.
/ 1t will be a vote for chronic war among
fellow citizens, which will be ever begin
ming and never ending, until the fate oj
Mexico be ours
1t will be the vote for the Reputation o.
the national debt, involving the destruction
of property and the overthrow of business.
1t will be a vote for anarchy and chao;
at home
It will be a vote for national degradation
abroad.
It will be vote against civilization it
self
1t will be vote for the kingdom Of Satal
len earth. -aar

TIE DIRECT ROAD TOPEACE.

The only road to peace, the only direct
route, AMI safe to travel, is that taken by
our armies. 1t will surely lead to peace in
the shortest time, and is the only one loyal
men can take We hear men talking Of
peace, as though it was settled that all Mr..
Lincoln has to do is to stop fighting and 90
to negotiating, as though the rebels were be-
beseeching to come back and were waiting
for an opportunity to do so So far from
this being the case. every declaration from
Richmond is to the effect that the South
will not consent to an armlstice, and does
not desire peace without independence. 1t
is folly to talk of peace with the South un-
less You are prepared to accept her terms by
granting her independence.
1t is perfectly evident, therefore, that
there is but one direct road to peace, which
is the one taken by the armies, We mean
an honorable peace 1t is true that peace
can be obtained by surrendering to the reb-
els, and the first step would be an armls-
tice. All the talk to the contrary is pollti-
cal clap-trap in the interest Of the rebels.

C0PPERHEAD THREATS,

True to their belief that the American
people are conquered by the rebels, and are
craven enough to ask for terms the Copper
head orators and papers hope to frighten
those people still more by threatening them
with civil war at home if the Copperhead
candidate for President is not elected.
This Kind of talk comes naturally from
those who wish to compromise with men
who began civil war four years ago because
their candidate was defeated 1t comes ma
tnraily from those who belive that the States
citizeus of the United States can not ~ $50 =
ced to submit to their Government. 1t
comes naturally from those whose reliance Is
not upon the intelligence but the ignorance
of the people; from those who do not pre-
vail by reasonable argument, but by appeals
to the basest passions 1t comes naturally
from Conservatism which burns orphan
asylums and massacres men because they are
poor and defenceless.
But those gentry sadly deceive themselves
if they suppose the loyal people of this
country are so deeply sunken in degradation
as to surrender their right of voting freely
to any threats of this kind. 1t is precisely
because the Copperheads are capable of using
such menaces in political canvass that they
will find themselves excluded from power by
the people For there is not fool IN the
land who d2es not see, that, if they threat
en- violence when they find themselves In the
minority, there is no enOrmlty OF which they
might not be guilty if they found themselves
actually in the majority.-Harper Heehty

-MoGLELLAN,s ECONOMY.

In his letter of acceptance General Nc
CLELLAN speaks of restoring economy in
public expenditures, y in the event of his e
lection to the Presidency. 1t is to be re-
gretted that he did not practice economy
when he was commander-in-chlet. All
who have visited the army know that Nc
CLELLAN was the most exuavagant General
that ever commanded the army of the Po-
tomac. IF he had been continued IN COM
mand till now. the nation would be bank
rupt. His European trip. some yearssin e;
engendered a desire to ape royalty. Lit will
be remembered that one reason assle ned Tor
inaction at Manassas was that 1t required
considerable time to procure match horses
for the headquarters wagons. Think OF a
General waiting for months IN order to pro
cure match horses for his transportation
wagons to move against an enemy! was
this rigid economy?

ASSUMPTION OF THE REBEL DEBT.

The assumption of the enormous rebel
debt is one of the conditions of General Nc
| CLELLAN S plan Of making peace with the
rebels. This idea has cropped out at differ
ent times and In various places. 1t was put
forth prominently by the so-called rebel com
| missioners at Niagara Falls, and it is known
| to be entertained by Democratic leaders gen
orally. This is but natural. AUGUSTE BEL
MONT, who is Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, and was one OF the
leading spirits at Chicago, is the agent III
this country Of rebel bond holders abroad.
The crushing of the rebellion would ofcourse
prove TO them an immense monied loss.
| They consequently look to him, by hook or
by crook, to secure them against such ca
lamity. Mr. BELMONT can do this only
through his political position. To make it
a Democratic measure, with the hope that
his instrument, MCCLELLAN, may succeed,
is his only prospect 1t Is, therefore, a part
of the Democratic rebel plan to assume the
debt of the South-a nice little sum of some
fifteen hundred millions to go into the pock
cts of foreign creditors, many of whom have
done their utmost to destroy American COM
merce by fitting out rebel privateers. 9th
ers have helped the rebels by building ships
to run the blockade, carrying III supplies OF
all kinds and bringing out cotton. They are
Mr. BELMONT $ friends-he is their agent
and at the same time the patron of MCCLEL-
Ian and the leading spirit in the Democrat
ic party. What do the people of this coun-
try think Of this plan for paying the rebel
debt-for enrichlng our enemies, after we
have spent so freely of our own blood and
treasure to put down this wicked rebellion?

The Bomhardmert of Charleston,

1t is reported, through deserters who re-
Ger tly came into our lines, that the city Is
suffering TO a very considerable and serious
extent under our present bombardment;
The 100 pouuder rifles have now attained
the proper range, andtErow shells two blocks
beyond Calhoun street, IN the business heart
of the city The range of the 30.pounders
was not to reach enough far beyond the burn
ed district" and the present l00-pounders
were substituted with marked success
Their range is greater, and the effect produ-
ced by the explosion of their shells is i'm
measurably greater They have already de
stroyed number of buildings, and are rap
idly demolishing others in the neighborhood
making it decidedly an undesirable place for
quiet-loving men to transact business In.
The rebels have $4,000 men at work on the
defences of the city, rapairing and strength
ening old works and constructing new ones;
They are preparing for the day of trial
thoroughly and as well as they may.

POLITICS IN THE ARMY.

One Of the grievances Of which the cop
perheads are constantly complaining, is ia
reference to the introduction of politics in
the army. We would ike to know how the
introduction of politics in the army is to be
avoided, while incidents ike the following
are of daily occurrence. Sergeant Matthew
Ryan, of the New York One Hundred and
Twenty second, writes to friend at Syra-
cuse, that during the skirmishing Of our Re-
giment and other troops at Opequan Creek,
when our party would drive the rebels or
gain any advantage, they would cheer lusti-
", and the name of Lincoln being taken by
our troops, the rebels set up equally enthu-
siastic cheering for Mcclellan. The cop
perhead leaders of the North have them
selves to blame for the introduction of pol
iticsin the army, according to the account
Just quoted.
