Union Party--all the men of this coun-
try who, since the commencement of
the Rebellion, have discarded old party
associations, and have, in sunshine and
storm, stood firmly and unainchingly |
by the Government, giving 1t aid and
comfort; and all the lovers Of Liberty, |
Truth, Justice, Humanity, and Free
Government, in all the nations Of the |
earth. In its ranks we find ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, EDWARD EVERETT, WILLIAM
II. SEWARD, THOMAS CoRwIN, HORACE
GREELEY, THOMAS SWAN, THOMAS Ew-
ING, JOHN G. FREMONT, and EDWARD
BATEs-leaders of the old Whig and
Republican working side by
side with ANDREW JOHNSON, JOHN A.
Dix, DAVID TOP, BENZ. F. BUTLER,
JOHN BRoUGH, DANIEL S. DICKINSON,
ROBERT j. BREoKINRIDGE, Jos. Holt,
and JOHN A. LoeAN-leaders Of the
old Democratic party. And from Eu-
rope we have from JOHN BRIGHT, CoB-
DEN, VICTOR HUGo, and GARIBALpr-
the champions of enlarged freedom on
that continent-words of cheer and
prayers for success. .......
Now look at the other party, the
leaders Of which, in every Democratic
State at the last Presidential election,
were the leaders of the Rebellion, that
took, or attempted to take, those Dem
ocratic States out of the Union, and
who have been leading and controlling
that Rebellion since its inauguration,
and see who are its present leaders,
and who are in sympathy with it
Valiandigham-who, in the Congress
of the United States, proposed divi-
sion of this Government into four Con-
federacies--who voted against every
measure introduced into Congress to
aid in the suppression of the Rebellion,
who declared the Government never
could conquer the South, or suppress
the Rebellion, and who is the leader of
the secret reasonable organization re-
Gently exposed, whose avowed object
is the overthrow Of the Government
He is the author Of the Platform.
Horatio Seymour-who, when the
New York mob were engaged in resist
ing the law, burning houses and muir
dering inoffensive citizens, addressed
them as friends, instead of bringing
them to punishment; and who has con-
stantly used the influence of his high
position as Governor of the great State
Of New York, to embarrass the Gov
ernment in its efforts to..suppress the
Rebellion-was President of that Con-
vention.
George H. Pendleton-who, in the
Congress of the United States, on the
18th day of January, 1861, said:
''If you End Cancellation impossible; if
your differences are 30 great that you cannot
or will not reconcile them, then. gentlemen.
LET THE SECEDING STATES DE-
PART IN PEACE: LET THEM ESTAB.
LISH THEIR GOVERNMENT AND
EMPIRE, and icork om their destiny ac-
cording to the ,oisdom tohick God has girsn
hen,;"
and who voted in Congress against
: every bill introduced to raise men to
put down the Rebellion, or money to
pay them-is the candidate of this par
ty for the Vice Presidency; and among
its prominent leaders are the Woods,
poorhies, Medary and Long, who, dur
ing the whole progress of this accursed
Rebellion, have never uttered one word
in condemnation of it, but have con-
stantly done all in their power to give
it aid and comfort, and cripple the Gov
ernment.
These are the leaders of the So called
Democratic party. Who are they that
: sympathize with it Look around you,
and see the men who, since this unpro-
ked Rebellion was inaugurated, have
denounced every means that has been
used for its overthrow; that cheer in
your streets for JEFF. DAVIS, and who
do all in their power to cripple the Ad
ministration and give aid and comfort
to the enemy, and you will find them
all laboring for the success of the Chi
cago party. Go to Europe, and, in the
language Of JOHN BRIeHT, the great
champion Of human rights and free
government in the British Parliament: !:
'All those Of my counti ymen who have
wished well to the Rebellion, who have
hoped for the breakup Of your Union, who
have preferred to see Southern Slave En-.
pire rather than restored and free Repub-
lie, so far as | can observe, are now in favor
: OF the election Of Gen. Mcclellan. All
a those who have deplored tho calamities
which the leaders Of Secession have brought
upon your country, who believe that Siay-
/ cry weakens your power and furnishes your
