 MORE OF THE CHICAGO SPIRIT.
 rHE TALK or TEE PLATFORM MAKERS.
 We give some of the talk at the outside meetings at Chicago, by delegates and others showing little the style of men who made the platform for New England democrats te swallow, and who SO hate New England tha they don't want to live in the same country with us. The report we clip from is that O the Chicago Tribune.
 A PEAcE MAN GOES FOR wAR-DAN MAHoNY Q.
 THE DRAFT-HE QUESTIONS THE COURAGE or
 HIS ERIENDs.
 The notorious Dan Mahony, of Dubuque who has been 8 martyr to his excessive disoy. alty. paraded his wounds before the audience. He said that two years ago he passed through Chicago in chains. He was seized at midnight by the armed minions of the tyrant at Wash ington, and hurried away to his dungeon, and not one democrat of Chicago dare come to him with offers of sympathy and condolence If he was to be again seized by the same infamous power, what would be the action of the Chica go democracy? Cries of "We would fight. "l No, you wouldn't; you have submitted to other outrages with disgraceful tameness. You have seen Vallandigham torn from his home since and you did not fight. Johnson has been torn from your own state, and you did not fight You have endured with a tameness and docili ty that ill becomes nation of freemen. There is not people on earth, if we except the mig ger, who would have borne so long and 80 pa. tiently-I might say so cowardly-the robbery of their rights. The Turks of Constantuople or the serts of Russia, would not take from the Sultan or the Csar such insults and outrages as you are compelled to endure. and still you submit. (Cries of f'' We won't any longer l. Yes you will, you have not yet been sufficiently ground under the heel of this infamous despo tism. But you say you will not longer submit While trust the declaration may be honest. fear you have not the nerve to meet tke ssae with all its grave consequences. (Cries of "We have, we have.w Gentlemen, we shall see There will be ether aggressions to try your mettle. An infamous and unconstitutioaa
 
 will be dragged from yoar homes to fight the battles of negro war, and you will submit No, We won'tD Excuse me, gentlemen, but fear you will. The path of duty is plain. A people who submit to be slaves do not deserve te be fiee.
 The administration to when you furnish the men and money, is carrying on the most hell ish war ever known to man. It is everywhere ate nk he 1C II and weaving halter around the necks of us all. The war is not waged for the preserya- tion of the Union, for time has taught the widest fancy that the sword can never restore that. The aggressions of the North, followed persissently for thirty years, compelled the South to withdraw, much against their will. graceful treatment they received, and thrust degradation. We must elect our candidate and then holding out our hands to the South invite them to come and sit again in our Union circle. A voice." But suppose they won', come s"l If they will not come to us, then am in favor of going to them. Loud cheers. Our constitution can be mnde acceptable to them, and then have the assurance that they will return and forget the past. But to dc this we must be harmonious, and above all, we must be active and vigilaDt. You live in a day when men aRd not pigmies are needed, = and I might add, that will try their nerves. l trust that the Democracy, which has never yet failed the country, will not falter now; but remember the cause for which their fathers fought and died, and be ready to initiate thei, example.
 CAPT. RYNDERs HAPPENS JN.
 The notorious, irrepressibls, disloyal, Urea. sonable Capt. Isaiah Rynders, of New York the fugleman of the broken up Empire Cop perhead Club, voted himself to the post, and worked of one of his usual villainous har rangues. Abraham Lincoln was traitor, Jeff Davis Christian gentleman. the Federal sol. diets mercenary minions, the rebels injured in. nocents. He considered the negro to be the sole cause of the present estrife, and accor dingly condemned him to condign vengeance Every man of ordinary intelligence, in 1861 foresaw the inevitable results of Lincoln's standardization regarding our erring breth. ren. Since that time it had not been in thei, power to couutsract the bad effects, for ty. rant held the reins, and was bent only On at. taining his own ends, even if they produced the nations destruction. Now, however, an opportunity presented itself, and by vigorous measures they would overthrow the dynasty, and metamorphose the reign of terror into a time of prosperity. Capt Rynders. as usual, opposed Mcclellan though not in very strong language. He ey,. dently wished to avoid the question, and con. sequently dilated at length upon the blessing, of peace. The South. he said, were as deter. mined as ever. They have been persecuted impoverished and slain like the beasts or inc field and battling with indomitable energy. The war is only carried on for the niger. and as the nigger was the private pet of the Aboli. tiopists. let them do what they like for him and fight it out by themselves. He promised the assemblsgs good peace candidate, and trusted that they would give him their uucou' di.sonal support.
