The London Times has rgone into1 our Polt-
cal campaign with ayehepence and peFsistelcy
that almost makes il look asif ii was President
for England that was about to be elected, instead
IOfa President of the United States-the Chief
magistrate of foreign land. The Chicago plat
form suits it to a dot or rather it lacks about
dot of suiting it. The Chicago declaration, that
the war has been total failure, is totally true.
The declaration for an immediate cessation of
hOstilities, is at once cOnsoling and noble. The
proposition for an armistice il the proper thing
to propose. The covert disunionisln of the plat
form is admirable as far as It goes only it should
not have been covert Had Chicago boldly
pronounced for disuniOn per Sc, it would have
been altogether good; had it pronounced in IA
vor of the next disruption after the present one
it would have been still better; had itpro-
nOunced in favor of a division of the great Re
public into five. or twenty five independent
"GOvernments,' after the plan drawn up by sSir
Bulwer," itwould have been as perfect as any
thing emanating from the Northern States of
America. But, it is, the platform of Val
iandigham is good enough to command the ar
dent admiration and support of the London
Times.
Of course, the Chicago candidate too is the
man for the Times; and the English organ Ia
bOrs for McClellan's success and for the defeat
of Mr.. Lincoln in anianner that would seem to
indicate that it fancies It's absurd and traitorous
arguments have controlling influence in this
country, Both the political and military views
of Mcclellan suit the Times. In regard TO his
policy, views it says that 1his policyis TO put
an end to the war, if possible, without destroy
ing the Union: but, il this be not possible, still
to put an end to the war" 1t believes that Chi
cago disguised the genuine policy of the Nc
Olellan party, and. adds: ,sThe Chicago COnven-
ton processes to stand by the Union as stOutly
as the Republicans themselves, but that reso-
luton probably expresses little mere. than the
reluctance of the North to part finally with a
darling idea, and the natural unwillingnesl Of a
political party to alarm the public by the pre-
mature confession of an unwelcome truth."-
"We can very well understand continues the
Times, @why the Democrats at Chicago should
shrink from blurtiDg out the fact that the South
must go free" s 3fi MOTT
The politico-miltary views of Mcclellan agree
precisely with those of the Times; and on this
point it offers him, in serious, a compliment,
which is assuredly the most extraordinary, fun
ny, and backhanded affair of the kind that has
fallen under our eyes. 1t says: "Fhe great fact
which we asserted from the first is now placed
beyond the reach of controversy. We said that
the North could never subdue the South, and
the North has, now proclaimed the same COM
clusion. 4 Rhis is the declaration
made by party presumed to be unquestiona-
bly, the strongest in the States, and tie cypress
