lowing interesting sketch of the Chlca-
go Convention, no less truthful for hay-
ing been written in advance
The seven party principles of John
Randolph--to wit "the five loayes ana
two fshes"-will from present appear
ances, rule the roast, How the war Is
TO be prosecuted how the treasury Is
TO be sustained how our financial en-
barrassments are to be mastered how
peace is TO be secured, and how the I'm
ion is to be reestabished under demo
cratic auspices, are ugly questions,
which we guess, will be smothered in
onions at Chicago. To the hungry dem
ocratic traders in spells there assembling
the paramount question and object Will
! be the magnificent schedule of the spolls
| and plumber of the present federal war
establishment of one thousand millions
a wear. The prospect Is that the Chica-
| 90 Convention, as concession to. the
| war democrats and the army will noml-
| nate Gen. Mcclellan, and that in the
next place, to conciliate the copperhead
peace faction, there will be an equiyocal
and double dealing platform on the war
question, very short, and signitying any
thing or nothing, but bold and en-
phatic in its bill of indictments and spe-
cifcations against the tyranny, the usur-
pations, the spoliations. blunders, and
lavish expenditures, corruptions and OPP
pressive paper money system and taxes,
and army drafts, of Abraham Lincoln's
administration.

this war JEFF Daris and his tedlo'c coaYtra-

The Chicago platform, in short, as we
have every reason to expect, will be the
'play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out,
a platform directed not to the great and all
Absorbing purpose of the loyBl Statcs-tIc sup
preston of the rebelljon-bH to The great and
all absorbing purpose Of a gang Of roF"ow
politieiaRs-the sDo,lS and pl,0jder Of the fell

the upshot of the Chicago Democratic
