MCCLELLAN AND PFNDLEroE,


+ HE Democracy have chosen their leaders
The Chicago Convention has concluded its la
bors. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN and GEORGE H.
PENDLEroN are to lead us in tha great battle we
are fighting for our liberties With a unaninity
echoing the sentiment OF the great Democratic
party, the Convention adopted its platform and
indicated its choice and shout and salvo, spread
ing over the land, as quickly as the telegraph
could give the signal, announced the approva
of the people. Never, we are sure, we're nom
nations made with more earnestness of feeling;
| never with a more heartfelt endorsement from q
nation which has suffered such great wrongs.
MCCLELLAN and PENDLEToN-th patriot sol
dier and the distinguished civilian fhristian
gentlemen both--are to lead the Democratic
party. In the words of Horatio Seymour, each
of them Gloves the Union, desires peace, and
will uphold constitutional freedom The wish
the war ended and the Union restored, ana wal
make previous conditions necessary before
receiving propositions for a restoration of the
Union and the termination of bloodshed and
civil strife. They wish the laws maintained; i;
the press protected; the citizen to be free from
oppression. They love the States and will pro-
tect them; and though they will be at the head
of the General Government which, with Gods
| blessing will rule us after the Fourth of March
next, both Mcclellan and Pendleton will resist
with jealous care every encroachment by that
General Government upon the rights OF soYer-
| eign States.
When Abraham Lincoln wished to wage war
| with barbarity, it was MCCLELLAN at Harrison's
Landing, who rebuked him. When he wished
to hear negro song amid the dead and dying
Of bloody field, it was MCCLELLAN who made
his checks tingle with shame When Stanton,
out Of envy and spite, had almost ruined the
| army, it was MCCLELLAN who, in words which
stung the ruffan's very soul, told him of It, and
made his efforts powerless.
IF it be the wish of Him, who controls all
our actions, Mcclellan and PENDLEToN will re-
store peace to a distracted land, and give the
world back again that glorious Union which was
once its greatest pride.
We need say no more. The Convention has
ended its labors-those Of the people have inst
begun. We must fight with an earnestness such
as never animated US before. We are IA daspot's
slaves, and have freedom to win. Thousands
of ofice-holders are at that desrots back to do
his bidding. Millions of money fill his Golfers.
rs has the army and the navy. He has every
thing that power could wish, but the love OF
the people. Against ali these we must contend;
all must oe overcome ana III taxes, cUIiSclil p
tions, bloodshed, war, hecatombs of slain, the
shrieks of wounded, the orphans wall, the wild
ows tear, the curse of an outraged God which,
for Lineoln's SINS has blghted sur happiness,
cannot animate this nation to a mighty effort 20
overthrow the tyrant. then are our weak words
powerless.-Age.
eENo sooner does the good angel or man
abandon him than the devil takes posse ,sits,
case in point Is just developed in sGa fact tfaa
the he-she's and she-he's Of tno Chicago Free
love Spiritualists convention have endorsed by
resolution the administration of Abraham Lin
coin. All the good having abandoned the Rail
splitter, it is but proper that all the "black
spirits and red-blue Spirits and gTeg," i 'tId
unite 10 make I'D The horrible helbroth o. The
shoddy party.
