Rebels in Council at Niagara Falls.

or thirty rebel politicians and officers,
says the New York Herald, is now at
Niagara Falls. plotting and scheming in.

cause. Remaining on the Canada side,
they are in favorable position to oper-
ate upon the politicians who visit that
locality during the hot season From all
accounts they are making the most of
this advantage. They have concocted a
grand scheme for the control of the Chi

the convention, after the manner of the
split at Baltimore in 1860. This is to
be brought about in a way that will en-

ate system Of riot and insurrection in
the country. The split in Baltimore in
1860 was accomplished by the scheming
Yancy, Slidell, Davis and other leaders
in the Southern States for the very pur-t
pose of bringing about state of affairs
that would give them plea to inaugu-
rate rebellion. A break up in that
convention was necessary, or rather
! preliminary step in preparing the pub
lie mind of the South for the revolution
which was already planned by the lead
ers. In accomplishing this result they
were assisted by the Albany Regency
and other INSCRIPTIONS politicians Of the
of the North. The events of four years
have since rolled around; the rebellion.
with all its evils and sufferings in the
South, has been inaugurated and kept
up; but they are at length driven to des-
peration, and are Ill straitened eircum-
stances They are compelled to resort
to some scheme to secure diversion in
the North or go under. A plot for the
split and break up at Chicago is resolv ID
upon, to be followed by revolution in the
North, as the last hope for their sinking
cause.
To accomplish this the rebel agents,
blowers and plotters have been rushing
back from Europe, and have made Can
ada their base of operations. The coun-
try from Montreal to Niagara Falls and
Windsor, opposite Detroit, is filed with
them, ali directing their efforts upon the
Chicago Convention. Vallandi CHAM was
sent back to Ohio to play his part of the
game there. But in order to accomplish
their end time was needed According
ly the postponement of the Chicago Con-
vention was essential The peace fac
ton and their organs boldly came out for
an adjournment Thus the first step to-
