The Chicago alias canadian Platform.

Rev. Dr.. ROBERT C. BREcKENRIDGE, of
kentu,ky, recently made a stirring speech
in Lexington, in which he made some very
interesting disclosures with regard to the
paternity of the Chicago platform.
He called attention to the well known
fact that, on the Sth day of August, twenty
days before the assembling Of the Chicago
Convention, the correspondent of the Lon
don Times in this country, wrote letter
published in that paper, giving in advance
the terms of the Chicago platform.
These terms were agreed on substan-
TALLY by the Conferences held at the Cliff
ton House, on the Canada side of Niagara
Falls The Times correspondent, whose
sympathy with the rebellion has been
constant and manifest, was in the secret
of this remarkable preliminary caucus of
the Chicago Convention.
The Doctor says of his own personal
knowledge:
" More than this 1t so happened that
was at Niagara at the time; it happened
that l saw the gentlemen there who were
making these terms. / was satisfied they
were there for de7ilment, and not for good.
The talk of peace was mere bosh. They
did mt want to make peace with US; they
wanted peace for their Confederacv. It
was that portion of the Democratic party
fighting US in the South, and the other por-
ton supporting them in the north, who
were negotiating terms of co operation
The one half, | say, are fighting US at the
South, and the other hal forming consul
racies and arming their secret sons in the
North and they Of the North send com
missioner5 to the Clifton House in Canada
and they Of the South already have their
commissioners there They met and
agreed upon common platform, which is
taken to Chicago and ratified by the Con-
yention.'
And it is this platform, made in for
eien country and dictated by rebel ennis
saries, that the Democracy would cram
down the mouths Of the American people.
The audacity Of this undertaking is only
matched by its utter insanity and hopes
lessncss.

\ SIMPLE AND EXCELLENT SEWING NJ

Of inspecting the operations Of Weed 5
Tight Stitch Sewing Machine, OF which we
had heard much but never seen 1t is so
simple in its construction and operation
that we wonder it has not heretofore been
largely introduced in the Northwest
There are bnt thirty pieces in the entire
machine, not one of which is at all liable
to get out of order. There is no loss of
power, the action being direct, and the re-
suit q mathematical certainty. il is so
constructed that there is not the slightest
vibration Of the needle-bar, and breaking
q needle or dropping a stitch is almost an
impossibility. The stitch itself is known
as the lock stitch, alike on both sides, and
lciU not rip or be ripped 1t viii run

the following:

GE3~ The Chicago Tribune of the Sd gives
the following:
During the present week, there has been a
heavy decline in the prices of nearly every
II marketable article The down inward tendency
in gold, and the monetary panic, together with
an increased confidence in the ability Of the
Government to subdue the rebellion, have I'M
settled the general markets, and prices are
materially lower. The following shows the
decline in the leading articles:
Flour, per brl,, 81 90; wheat, per bu IS c.;
corn, per bu. c.; oats, per bu. G.; Rye, %
G.; Barley 20a24c.; Coffee per ID, SIC; Sugar
lal4c.; Tea Toe; Tallow lc. Hides I1a3c
Goldfish PEI 100 lbs, 25c.; Smoking Tobacco
per h., 7a9c.; Wool 3a5c. French kip and
calf skins 25c.
While the holders of the above articles may
have to suffer in consequence of the Decline
they have the consolation of knowing that
although they receive fewer greenbaclls for
their produce and merchandise, they are
worth more.

holds 1t. The nomination of Mr.. Vivian
was not secured by any logrolling, bar
gaining, caucus packing, or other dishon-
orable means, but from an honest choice
of the delegates, who, we have no doubt,
reflected correctly the will of the towns
they represented
We regret that our Union friends in
Linden are dissatisfied with the choice OF
the convention the more so as they have
| ever been true to the principles OF the
party, and have Justly earned the title of
| the Banner town of Iowa County. All
acknowledge their claim to a good county
office, but we look upon them as little
| too fastidious at this time in insisting upon
the running of Mr. Granville ut all hazards
All who attend contention cannot have
their choice where different candidates are
presented Is it not the duty of all to
abide the wish of the majority? Certain
we are, had Mr. Granville received q ma
iority of the votes of the convention, he
would have received the united support of
tiIt anu HOHt nave y AO4ACd
him a more cheerful and more hearty
support than ourselves, or than would Mr.
Vivian.
We hope our Linden friends will recon
slider their present position, and give the
whole Union ticket a cheerful support, for
we cannot believe it is Mr. Glanville's wish
to endanger the election Of the nominees
Of the convention before which his name
presented for an Office, and reposing con
idence in his honor, we hope to see his
name withdrawn, and his influence thrown
for the election of the entire ticket

and scattered broadcast over the District,
Eve wish they would; at one time we did
not know but the Convention intended to
adopt these resolutions as the Democratic
creed, but we were soon enlightened by
Mr. Simpson, who introduced another
series, three in number, which the Con-
vention thought rather more suitable and
consequently adopted. Substantially they
were as follows: No. 1-Endorsing
the Chicago platform and the two
Georges; No. 2-IIarmonizing Little
Mac acceptance letter and the Chicago
platform by saying that the former was
the true Interpretation of the latter; No.
3-Endorsing and eulogizing John T. Par
kison for State Superintendent
The Convention adjourned by giving
three faint cheers for Mcclellan, Il )dolf

gSEThe Toronto (Canada) Globe thinks
that MIR. Lincoln's enforcement of the
draft indicates either implicit reliance on
the determination Of the Northern people
to prosecute the war, or a lofty resolve to
peril his chances for reelection rather
than delay the filing up of his armies
1t Is right; 1t indicates both, and he will
lose nothing by it among patriotic voters

following in regard to our County ticket.
Mr. Journal, we thank you for your kind
notice.of ourself:
From our knowledge of some of the men
on the above ticket, we are confident that
the people will heartily endorse it. The
Nomination of Major OTIs, who worked
his way up by brave and efficient service
| from the place of a private in the ranks
Of the heroic old Second regiment to the
position of field officer, who served all
through the terrible conflicts in Virginia,
beginning at Bull Run in 1861, and finish
ing up with the bait es Of the Wilderness
in 1864, is very strong one The Major
would make an excellent officer in the
place for which he is nominated and is
personally very popular. Whoever is
nominated against him, we think, will
need an affidavit after election to show
that he has been running.
