to inaugurate "civil war" in case Grant
Is defeated-the delectable crowd Who
beleaguered and s,ormed our Office on the
18th and lith OF july, varying the exer-
cises By frequent and hearty cheers for

and outraged people" who are preparing
for fresh outbreak in the contingency
OF Grants failure--a "civii war;" whereof
"Greeley will bs the first victim"
Now, those who are SO eagerly sntici
pating and preparing to improve the con-
tibgeney OF Grants failure will naturally
do what they can to produce it. And We
warn Gen. Grant that, unless he makes it

his orders must not be be triaed with. the
fate vi Pope, and Burnside, and Hooker,
awaits him. Ii his corps commanders

EF Abolition newspapers affect to be
jocose over the reproduction by the dem
ocratic press of tie testimonials given by
them in the early stages of the war to
McC!ellan's generaIship. They can pro-
duce, however, only hollow laugh, as
the evidence thus presented contrasts with

ton and malevoent bu. silly Ilbels upon
TIE General. Quite as singuIariy does
their laudaion of Mr.. Lincoln compare
with the invectives which the most prom
insnt members of their party have used
against him and his administration. Said
Hon. j. Z. Hale IN speech in the senate
during The frs, year of the war:
Il declare, upon my responsibility as a
senator, that the Liberties of this country
are in more danger 10 day from the cor
rup;ions and from the profligacy practiced
in the various departments of the govern
melt than they are from the enemy's 10
the field"
The men practicins this "prohigacy and
corruption " are mem ers of Mr.. Lincoln's
cabinet to-day, aud bis earnest supporters,
as he is their shield against punishment.
The same "profgacy and corrupton"
will reign in the various departments of
the government while he remains at the
head to protect the criminals. The peo>
pie are taxed to MAINTAIN this sprohigacy
and corruption.

PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES,
unanimously at the democratic
National Convention held tn
Chicago, dug 20, 1861.

Cf'cdgo, aug ~, lcok.
Resolced, That ia the future, as in the
past, we will adhere with unswervlng f.
deity 20 the Union under the constitution
a, the only solid foundation of our strength,
security and happiness as people, and
AS framework OF government equally
conducive to the welfare and prosperity of
all the States, both northern and south
ern.
Resolved. That this convention does
explicitly declare, as the sense Of the
American people, that after four years OF
failure to restore the Union by the expert
ment of war, during which, under the
pretepce Of military necessity OF war
rover higher than the constitution, the
constitution itself has been disregarded in
every part, and pubic liberty and private
right alike trodden down and the material
prosperity of the country essentially inn
paired Justice, humanity, liberty, and
the public welfare demand that immediate
efforts be made for cessation Of hostili
ties, with view to an ultimate conven-
ton Of the States, or other peaceable
practicable moment peace may be restored
on the basis of the FEDERAL Union Of the
States.
Resolred, That the direct interference of
the military authorities of the United
States in the recent elections held in Ken
lucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Delaware,
was shameful violation Of the constitu-
ton and repetition of such acts in the
approaching election will be held IS rev>
olutionarv, and resisted with all the means
and power under our control.
Resolved That the aim and objec: Of
the democratic party Is TO preserve the
Federal Union and the rights of tbs States
upinpaired and they hereby declare thai!
they consider the administrative usurpa-
ton Of extraordinary and dangerous pow
ers not granted by the constitution the
subversiou OF the civil by military law IN
States no, in instruction; the arbita
nv military arrest, Imprisonment, trial and
sentence of American citizens in States
where civil law exists in full force the
suppr ession of freedom of speech and of
The press the denial Of the right of asy
liuln the open and avowed disregard OF
State rights; the employment of unusual
test oatils and the interference with and
denial of the right of The people to bear
arms in their defence, is calculated to pre-
veut a restoration of the Union and the
perpetuaton of the government deriving
its Just powers from the consent of the
governed.
Resolred, That the shameful disregard
Of the administration TO its duty, in res
pect 10 our fellow citizens who now are
and long have been, prisoners Of war in a
suffering condition, deserves the severes'
reprobation on the score alike Of public
policy and common humanity.
Resolred, That the sympathy of the
democratic party is heartily and earnestly
extended TO the soldiery of our. army, who
are, and have been, in the field under the
flag Of their country and, in the event O
its attaining power, they will receive al
the care, protection, and regard that the
brave soldiers Of the Republic have SO no
bly, earned.
