 DEAR STE: It is mean thing to listen at the key-hole. It is meaner to open private letter. It the meanest of ell to sccept hospi- tality and abuse the host. But these mean things are Christian virtues compared to the act of accepting the nomination of party in order to destroy it. A platform is the party's soul. A,candidate is shs party's body sepa- arste the body from the soul. and death en- sues. It is as dificnlt to sa Between two stools as to sleep with one eye opsh. You cannot worship God and Mammon. Honesty is not only the best policy, but the only one for an honest man. To cheat in politics is as wicked as to cheat in money. You know the Peace men controlled the Convention. They gave you a platform that was neither fish, flesh, fowl or mackerel. Yet you insist upon the mackerel. Hence the Daily Ne,cs, the Metropolitan Record, Freeman's Journal and Ohio Crisis fly of from you like hoops from an effervescing barrel. Singleton will follow Wood; vallandigham will fall in, and in two weeks Pendleton will decline to be shipwreck- ed with the rest. "Come out from under the bed," said the indignant wife to her undecided husband. Not" Said he, ]" so long as haue Me spirit of man scithin ane.'' ,s- s...-.
 Mark my words, General--you will not car ry single State except New Jersey, and you will sacrifice seven Democratic members of Congress out of ten. Look at Vermont. Maine will be the same. Indianna will only lead the other States by month. r.
 You will find it as hard as the rebels have to fight such Democratic names as Foot, Far. ragut, Porter and Dupont on the sea, or Grant, Meade, Burnside, Sickles, Hancock, Thomas and Sherman, on the land-ali of whom are against you. The late letters of Sherman and Grant rattle through the Democratic ranks like lightning through gooseberry bush. 4 only costs t,co thoassand dollars to get up c McCzellan meeting. Young Ketchun, said so. If the explosion of limited quantity of gas in Union Square killed two women and wound ed several, tho other night, what will be the disaster when yoar whole party bursts up in November?
 James Buchanan said that he was no lon ger J. B., but the Cincinnati platform. You reverse it, and say that you are not the Chica- go platform, but G. B. Mac. Said Lord By ron in Don Juan, The we'll llknown Hebrew word, am, We English use to govern a-n.
 But to your letter Bulwsr said the '' Pen soas miyhtier than the sscord." Then he had 1 not made your acquaintance, General. NoA- MATED ON YOUR RECORD. Yes. 1le Draft. The Proclamation. The Suspension of Ha- beas Corpus. The Arrest of Legislatures. Military at the Polls, and disobedience cf or ders. Is not that your public record7 Do you mean, by alluding to your record, that you will do the same again?
 GENTLEMEN: have the honor to acknowl- edge the receipt of your letter, informing me of my nomination [of course. who else did you suppose it was T by the Democratic Ma tional Convention, [certainly. it was not the Republican National Convention; [certainly it was not the Republican National Committee recently assembled at Chicago, That's 90 it did not assemble at Cleveland or New York, as their candidate at the next election for President of the United States. Exactly it was not for the last election. ' s7<''~'a-' ss It is unnecessary for me 10 say to you that this nomination comes to me unsought. tWhy say it, then T ..s: .,.--- +..... ..
 Take the whole letter, paragraph by para graph, transpose it,as, have this sentence, and you will find it as weak as dish.water- undecided, inconsistent, ungrammaticai and egotistical. The six allusions to tie Union remind one of the stereotyped cry in the For tanes of Nigel-Watches, Clocks, Barnocies. The bright boy who cried barnacles, watches, clocks, introduced new idea into Scotland.
 If a frank, earnest and persistent efort to obtain those objects should fail. the responsi- bility for ulterior consequences will fall upon those who remain in arms against the Union.
 Why not say war right out, not dodge round a corner this way. Don's nrget that old Cass killed himself with the Nicholson letter.
 Believing that the views here expressed are those of the convention and the people you represent, accept the nomination. 's1J Es You don't believe any thing of the kind. You know better. The Northwest are all peace. So reads the platform. Five hundred delegates unanimously agree upon platform. Here it is: H& .l g 2 l..~.7s.a.- .
 kesolusd, To please you, they have war.
 4Resolued, To please Pendleton. they have peace. s,eH slE ss
 Resotned, To please all tho outs, that the war go on til; the peace is signed.
