THE PRosPEcT IN LANDER

The Reese River RereilLe, of Saturday
last, speaking of the Union Clubs in Lam
der county, says that " the loyal Irish are
forming their clubs in every important
city and town, determined to raise theiE
voices and cast their votes for the main
tenance of the Government that has
afforded them an asylum from the tyranny
of Great Britain, and opened the public
domain, and the rich mines of gold and
silver, to their occupation on the same
terms with the most favored. They will
strike a blow at the same time for the
Union and against their hereditary enemy,
the Government of Great Britain, which
is in full sympathy with the rebels, and
their co-laborers, the Mcclellan party oil
the North" The Germans, too, out In
the Reese River country, are up and doing,
of whom the ReveiAe says:
The Germans, those sturdy friends Of lib
erty, are up and doing, resolved in the civic
battle now being waged, for and against the
Union, to be in the front rank for their adopt
ed country, as their brethren on the Atlantic
side. under Sigel and other noble Germans,
have been in the front ranks Of the terrible
conflict there waged for civil liberty.

A CANADIAN OPINION.

The Canadians, although not directly
engaged in our present terrible struggle,
are nevertheless deeply interested in its
result, and scan proceedings on their
Southern border with a watchful eye.
The following opinion Of Little Mac.
and his nomination, which we find in the
Montreal Witness, is rather interesting:
Our neighbors in the States have been
rather prone to nominate generals for the
presidency, but hitherto it has been on ac-
count of their success. Mcclellan is the first
instance on record Of general being nomi.
mated because of his want OF it. Yet moth
ing can be more certain than that he would
not have been nominated by his present sup.
porters had his campaign been characterized
by vigor and victory. 1t was because he did
not hurt the rebels nor slavery that the whole
South and the Democratic party of the North,
and a large portion Of the British press,
agreed in considering him the very man to
command the Northern armies. 1t is for the
reason he is nominated by the pro-slayery
peace Democrats. There may appear an iu-
consistency in "peace" men choosing a
man Of war for their candidate, but it is only
apparent. McClellan's efforts in war were,
so far as he could control matters, only play
ing at war, and it is the best way, to secure
peace platform, yield to the choice Of a nom
inally war candidate

THE CONSTITUTION AS IT Is."

Coupled always with the cry of "The
Union as it was" (Which the old Mexican
killer says they don't want,) the Copper
heads screech for the Consultation as IL
is" (which jeff. Davis, Horatio Seymour
& Co. say they won't have.) With all
their hypocritical catch-crying OF the
Union as it was and the Constitution as
it is" and all their ranting about the "sa-
cred instrument" the Copperhead con-
spirators find it impossible to conceal
their purpose to remake the old Constr
tuition into the likeness of the Montgome-
~ model. and so effect constitutional
settlement of our difficulties with JEFF.
Davis, making a Constitution to suit JEFF.
Davis. Manton Marble, chief editor OF
the New York World, writing from Chi
cago, does up the announcement of the
programme in this nice roll of verbiage:
The Democratic party will offer peace
with one condition only-the Union as de-
fined by the Constitution, with resort to
that method Of amendment, and closer ad-
justment Of the Nations needs, which the
Constitution itself permits and defines.
Good people who want the "Constitu-
ton as it is" if you think the Compro-
mise party has any thought of securing it
to you, just wipe your spectacles and
the utterances of your leaders more care

The LOuiSiana Constitutional Con-
stituIiOnal Convention.

The New Orleans papers Of September "a,
contain General Banks letter to Senator
Lane, from which We extract the following
summing up Of the proceedings Of the Loui-
siana Constitutional Convention. He says:
Two-thirds of the white population, and
two-thirds Of the entire voting population OF
the State were permanently represented in
the Convention.
Neither constitutional nor parliamentary
history presents a parallel instance Of mag
unanimous abnegation Of power or OF exalted
respect for minoritiesl
And what was the result Of their labor:
In State which held 33l ,726 slaves, one
half of its entire population in 1860, more
than three quarters OF whom had been spe-
cially excepted from the operation of the
Proclamation Of Emancipation, and were still
held de jure in bondage, the Convention de-
clared by majority Of all the votes to which
the State would have been entitled il every
delegate had been present from every district
in the State
Instantaneous, universal, uncompensated,
unconditional emancipation OF slaves!
1t prohibited forever the recognition OF
property in man!
Ii decreed the education Of all children,
without distinction OF race or color.
1t directs all men, white or black, to be
enrolled as soldiers for the public defense.
1t makes all men equal before the law
1t compels, BY its regenerating spirit the
ultimate recognition Of all the rights which
National authority can confer upon an OPP
pressed race
1t wisely recognizes, for the first time in
constitutional history, the interest Of daily
labor as an element Of power entitled to the
protection Of the State

ment of Louisiana I"

STAGE COMPANY Ex1oRTIoN.-The Union
Tedette (Salt Lake. administers the following
rebuke 10 the Eastern Overland Mail Com
pany, and corresponding credit to the West
ern line:
ave are daily hearing complaints from
our recently discharged Volunteers concern
ing the exorbitant fare that is exacted By the
Eastern o. NJ. Company. The fare charged
by that line is $500 in greeubacks. This, for
soldiers leaving the service, seems more than
just; especially when the California Volun-
teers have at every opportunity proven them
selves willing to encounter any hardship, and
to endure every privation for the protection
Of the Great o. NJ. S. L. 1t seems to us that
the Eastern line is working in strange con-
trast with the Westeru-the latter Line hav-
ing reduced their fare, especially for the Vol.
unteer now leaving the service, and we can
not understand why the Eastern does not
make it practicable to extend the same COM
pliment. The proprietors Of the Western
Line will be ever gratefully remembered for
the munihcent reduction in their fare to CAL
ifornia. And any services which those Vol.
unteers whose times are uneSpired can rem
der for the protection Of that Line, will be
performed with a zeal and pleasure in appre-
citation of the charity extended to their COM
rades who have left the service"

THE EASTERN NEWS.

The news from the East may be termed,
in the expressive language Of the day,
bully" The Sacramento Union of yes
terday received a very lengthy dispatch,
which, but for the unfortunate break in
the telegraph, would have appeared in the
News last evening. We make few ex-
tracts of the more important items. Hood
is still on the retreat, and Sherman's way
IS open TO the Gulf. Price is completely
disorganized and driven out of Missouri,
with the loss of 400 wagons and all of his
artillery. Six thousand men whipped hi

the rebels under Vaughn. The election in

MccLELLAN's PLATFORM.

George B. Mcclellan having accepted
the nomination of the Chicago Conven'
ton, with the platform before him, that
platform is of course his, and is binding
upon him, if he has as much honor as an
Apache Indian. That platform demand:
an immediate cessation of hostilities, and
a Convention of all the States to settle the
terms OF "peace." The rebels had
already given their ultimat"m upon any
peace proposition the Chicago Conven-
ton were cognizant of the terms of that
ultimattn,. and when they proceeded to
demand for Convention of all the States
they, of course, expressed willingness to
accede to the terms of that ~timGtum.
Those terms are as follows:
Recognition by the enemy Of the independ'
ence Of the Confederate States.
Withdrawal of the Yankee forces from
every foot OF Confederate ground, including
Kentucky and Missouri.
Withdrawal Of the Yankee soldiers from
MARYLAND until that State shall decide BY a
free vote whether she shall remain in the old
Union or ask admission into the Confed-
eracy.
Consent on the part of the Federal Govern.
ment to give up to the Confederacy its pro-
portion Of the Navy as it stood at the time oil

Gentlemen, this war is played out-aud his
soul is marching on. Some prefer Linkum,

some Chase-but for my parr give me liberty
or give me Bourbon straight. Down with

the matter! Gentlemen, the hope Of the

the hevings echo to the loud roar Of the ar
tillery, the mint whistle screams and the

ON WHICH LEG IS THE BOOT
NOW
Four years since ex-President Fillmore

Four years since ex-President Fillmore
used these words:
But, sir, what do we see? An exaspera-
ted state of feeling between the North and
South on the most exciting Of all topics, re-
splting in bloodshed or organized military
array. But this is not all, sir. We see a
lolitical party presenting candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency selected for
the first time from the free States alone, for
the ayowed purpose OF electing their candl-
dates BY suffrages from one part Of the Union
only to rule over.the whole United States.
Can it be possible that those who are en-
gagged in such measure can have leisurely
reflected on the consequences which must IN
evitably follow in case of success? Can they
have the meanuess or the folly to believe that
| our Southern brethren would submit to be
governed BY such Magistrate?
| tell YOU my friends, that speak warmly on
this subject, for feel that we are in danger.
I am determined to make clean breast oft
will wash my hands Of the consequences,
whatever they may be"
But not alone was Mr.. Fillmore in
making the charge that that was "sec-
tional party" and its candidates "sec'
tional candidates" The whole phalanx
of Democratic orators and organs did the
same. 1t was with them an insurmount-
able objection to Lincoln and Hamlin
that they were both from the same "sec'
ton of the Cnion," and the party which
supported them a purely sectional party
What now say these men: What says
Mr.. Fillmore: Which now is the Sec
tional party, and which the sectional can
dida,es: Chickens will come home ia
roost," says an old proverb-and never
was it more palpably verified than in the
present case. Fillmore now goes for Nc
Clellan and Pend.eton-both of the same
"section," and almost both of the same
State! Yet the Lincoln party -" now
has one candidate from the Free State;
and the other from the Slave States-one
from the North, and the other from the
South. Who then, we ask, has the "sec-
tional candidates, and which is the "sec-
t,onal party"

THE UNION AS IT WAs.''-Gn every

transparency with the legend, THE

most stunning war-cry of the "snaix. "
Hear what old John B. Weller, the Next
can killer, said at late Mcclellan meet
ing in the East:
- have had better opportunities than mos
men to ascertain the opinions and feelings o
the prominent men concerned in the Rebel
lion. Many Of them were my most intimat'
friends. And say that am perfectly salts
fed that the war can be terminated at once
upon jus, and honorable terms and a CnIoT
Of the States effected. do not say the pre-
else Union which formerly existed, but :
Union which, for all practical purposes
would make US one nation.
Thus it IS Union that the Copper
heads are after, not THE Union of oul
forefathers. And what kind Of Union
can they mean, except Union based or
the principles that underlie the Rebej
Confederacy. and that are embodied ii

The Copperhead journals talk about the

termination if it takes the last garment
from their backs. Only the Copperheads

talked long ago, because only Copper
