In warsaws wretched ctsy,
Two sisters 10 be hung -
A melancholy dttiy
To be said or sung.
Two women 10 be strak9sed
Europe, standing ny,
Sees their bodies nsn4lrus
I.jfts no voice on htgh!
Brave and warIike nation
Vents lis fiendish spite
A WORTHY dem0nstra ion-
A noble, gallant sight
In grand array Of battle
Your standard quick nnfasas,.
Round-,wo beaateoas eifis.
Al, ready for the banging
Bullet, steel, and lead,
Brave fellows at the hausihs
To see two sisters dcau
See, Kasciusko's fpiHt
Rising from the tomb
His seiii these girls inherit
Eobly meet their d'oHss
Arc there men In Russia
Are there tco'nsn there
An empire. s,rsns,h -'os.h
Feeble, giIlish pair
Brave and gallant natioa-
Two sisters 10 be hatss
No voice In condemnation,
No scabbaTd high is iisssc-
Reveliing In slaughters,
EuSopc's deep disgrace,
Striking Poiand's daughters
What a manly race.
Aghast and c<aven-hearted
England shares the stain;
Sons and mothers parted
Women radciy slain.
Lovely ladies banished,
Marched In felons' dress:
Hope forever vanished,
None to see or bless.
Sublime, chivalr0us nation.
Distant shadows iOoIl-
A blot upon creation,
Vengeance sure will come.
Time was in Engiand's pages
ChivaIry would fly,
And EDgland's sons aud sages
Strove for beauty's sigh.
Are we backward streaming,
Ia the lapse of time;
Idly cazing-dreaming,
Midst triumphant crime
Sons Of Englnnd, forward:
Avcrge these sisters death;
Smite these Northern eOwards-
Stay not your painting breath +,
BFitOns, rise, nor treInbie-
Youth and bt tauty calls;
Let not your words dissemhic--
A bleeding nation falls.
Think Of Warsaw's city,
Two sisters to be hang!
No heart 20 help or pity
The knetl Of Freedom rung.

ously punished, but Congress ocght to pass
an act fer the contiscaiion to iiubiic use of
every dollar Of their i'll gotten gains. For
the disposition of such cases we should be
glad To see G Dictator--a man with nerve
enough toprobc every charge To the bottom,
with Judgment sufficient to do justice, and
with such resolution rs would bring the
guilty Il. al to the block.

The announcement of the vote by the Presi-
dent was received with tremendous applause,
the delegates and audience standing, the
band playing, and the cheers continuing for
several minutes. Immediately after the nom-
ination banner on which is painted the por-
trait of Mcclellan, and bearing as a motto:
If cannot have command of my own men,
let me share their fate on the field Of battle,''
was run up behind the Presidents platform
amid the widest shouts of the multitude.
A communication was received from the
Chairman of the German Peoples Associa-
ton of New York, claiming to represent
100000 citizens, and accompanied by resolu-
tons pledging the Association to the support
of the Chicago nominee. 1t was filed.
Mr.. Vallandigham said that from the first
moment he had been animated but by one
sentiment-peace. To the end that there
might be peace in the land, he then moved
| that the nomination of Gen. Mcclellan be
declared to be the unanimous sense of the
| Convention.
Mr.. McKeon, of New York. seconded the
motion, and remarked that we were in the
midst of a bloody revolution, and that if the
present Administration should be continued
no man of note will be safe in his liberties
and life. He exhorted all to join with on,
heart and as one man in our efforts to over
throw it.

On the second ballot, when New York was
called, Judge Parker said that having cast SO
votes for James Guthrie, against BIS wishes,
he now gave them cheerfully to Geo. FL. Pen
dleton, of Ohio.
The other candidates were then with
drawn, and Geo. III. PendistOn received the
unanimous vote of the Convention.
Hon. g. III. Pendleton was then escorted to
the platform by Hon. @. L. ValIandigham and
Hon. VIM. Allen, and briefly addressed the
Convention, thanking the delegates for the
honor they had done him.
committee of one from each State was
appointed to wait upon the candidates of the
Convention, inform them of the action of
Convention, and ask their acceptance of the
nomination upon the platform adopted.
A national executive committee was APP
pointed, consisting of one delegate from each
State.
A resolution was adopted recommending
the Democracy all over the United States to
assemble in their respective cities and towns
on the 18th of September, and ratify the
nominations.
Several other resolutions, of no general
interest, were passed, after which at twenty
minutes before o'clock, the President de-
clared the Convention adjourned, subject to
the call of the national committee.

The President stated the question before
the convention to be on ordering the previ-
Gus question, nominating a candidate for the
Presidency. 1t was ordered without dissent
The Secretary thereupon proceeded with
the call of states, when the chairman of the
several delegations announced their respect
i've votes as follows:
Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1864-09-10

While 600 rebel prisoners we're being con-
veyed to Morris Island to be placed under
retaliatory fire, the vessel, the E.Lathdna, was
run ashore in a manner so as to lead to the
suspicion that an attempt was made to let
them escape The Captain and mate are now
under trial, and if found guilty will be shot.
Only one rebel officer escaped.
In the accident on the Indianapolis and
Cincinnati Railroad Friday, about thirty per-
sons were wounded, one or two probably ia
tally, but none killed. The train consisted
of three passenger and one baggage car, and
was completely wrecked. The engineer saw
the approaching hurricane just as the train
neared WeitzelPs bridge, and put on steam in
order to clear the bridge and gain the shelter
of an embankment ahead, but the tornado
struck the train in a funnel shaped ravine
and with such force as to lift the cars from
the track. Two passenger cars made two
complete revolutions and landed with the
wheels uppermost. In the same vicinity
stone walls were leveled and the massive
roof of a large stone house lifted from the
walls and carried considerable distance.

following resolution, which was unanimously
adopted.
Resolred, That this Convention shall rot be dis.
solved by the ADJOURNMENT at the close of its bust
ness. but still remain organized subject to being
called at the time that the Executive National
Committee shall designate.
The following communication was then re-
ceived from the Democratic National Com
mittee, and was presented by Mr.. Lawrence
of Rhode Island
At meeting of the National Democratic
Committee at the Sherman House August
3lst, the following resolution was adopted !:
WHEREAS, A respectful devotion to the memory
of stephen A. Douglas, the great Statesman of the
West, was the motive which induced the Commits ee
to call the Convention at Chicago, now therefore,
ReSolred, That it is the deliberate conviction of
this Committee, that had his life been spared his
gigantic grasp of mind, taken in connection with
his declaration that war is disunIon-a declaration
which time has proved the wisdom of,-would long
since have restored the power of the Federal COM
pact and avoided that terrible loss of life for
which nothing can compensate, and hat feeling of
bitterness so much to be deplored, which is the
great barrier to the restoration Of peace and Union

ton to the past history OF our common country,
her great and miraculous prosperity under Demo-
cratic administration therefore, in order to pre-
serve the integrity OF our once happy Union, re-
establish justice and nestle tranquility through
out our border, promote the general welfare and
secure the return of the blessings of liberty vouch
safed to us by our forefathers, here renew and

the omen reputation and violation of the Monroe

ruins of neigh0oring republic and that we view
with greater alarm and dstrust the fearful strides
of the general administration at our national cap
ital towards despotsm, in their repeated lnterie-
rences with state rights with the liberty OF speech
and of the press and the right Of private property
wherefore we call all true and incorruptible pa
triots to lay aside their partizan prejudires, 70
hook our bleeding countIy's troubles in the face,
calmly to consider the fearful waste of blood and
| treasure through the unwise acts and misguided
policy Of the present nati6nal administration and
assist in changin 2 our rulers, that may rescue
our beloved country and the liberties Of the people
| from certain ruin.
| ResOluea, That we will use all honorable means
known to civilized nations to bring to speedy ter
mination the unhappy difficulties that disturb oui
| country.
