EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF GoLD.-
An ingenious robbery of gold took place
on Monday in Wall street, New York,
in the following manner "A small boy
as is the very imprudent custom among
downtown merchants and others-was
sent by his employer with bag con-
tanning $4,000 in gold, intended for a
broker in Wall street. At the office
the boy placed the bay on the counter,
but was told by person behind it that
the principal was not in, and that he
(the speaker) had nothing to do with
the Office business. \ man standing III

proachedrthe bay. CAN right, sonny"
says the obliging aud courteous stran-
ger-:'leave the bag. They all know
me here. III tend to it for you and
see It's all right" The innocent youth,
glad to be relieved of the necessity of
waiting any longer, lett the Office in
serenely unsuspecting frame Of mind.
"A moment after, the stranger left with
the plundered specie, and, Of course,
has not been heard from since.

it is that Stearus Country has lost a

In addition to the paragraph quo

credence to the Masaanah report-the
untruth of which was exposed in last

that ''our people are expecting another

the shoddy spectators can invest their

that spectators in agricultural scrip, which
has hitherto been held at so to so cents per
acre, may have an opportunity of locating
it on lands where there are no taxes to pay

years WAS in command Of the armies Of

ciled While the war is spoken of as
ian experiment." '*asfailare, and in
the sense Of d great wrong, yet the
candidate is man upon whom devolv-
ed tor two years, in great measure,
the conduct Of this "expcriment." In
this way only can these Inconsistencies
be harmonized : That, as the closing
part Of the paragraph calls for a cessa-
zion Of hostiities, for Convention of
the States aud for Il peace that shall be
satisfactory to the rebels, that during
the two years in which Gen. Mcclellan
was in command Of the Union forces he
used them for the purpose Of concilia-
ting the enemy and not for war. This
resolution announces this or nothing,
and ta=ters upon Mcclellan the damn
ing inE.my Of the prolongation of the
wal and the slaughter Of thousands of
brave men
The third paragraph counsels revo-
luton in case the Democracy do not
have the balloting at the approaching
election to suit themselves. Perhaps
they, too, will seccde in the event of
President Lincoln's re. election, and
join their old political associates
The fourth and fifth paragraphs are
composed entirely Of corperhead politi-
cal balderdash with which our readers
are perfectly familiar, and the cry
about the crushing of free speech is
sufficiently refutcd by the fact that
these traitors were allowed to hold
their Convention without any disturb
ance beyond themselves.
The sympathy expressed for "our
soldier" unless the Confederate SOL
diers are referred tbs hypocritical !;
for the Convention believed the war to
be wrong, and this paragraph, if in.
tended for Union soldiers-as we much
doubts an insult to them.
Taken all in all the platform is the
breathings of men opposed to the in
situations of freedom, and those which
have been the strength of our govern
ment. These men feel concerned only
for the single institution which has al
ways been typical of their own servi-
tude to the political oligarchy OF which
they constituted and still constitute a
part.
Let every loyal man preserve this
platform and place it side by side with
that adopted at Baltimore; let him
compare the candidates chosen by the
two Conventions, and decide to which
he feels willing to couide his interests
as an American citizen.

ANIENDE.

The Pioneer makes the following
omende for the contemplate attack of
a correspondent on Gov. Miller:
"A soldier correspondent, "Miles"
complained the other day that Gov.
Miller had not fulfilled his promise to
"confer upon soldiers already in the SER
vice such military Offices as might
come within his province to bestow."
We have since asccrtained that our
correspondent has dole INJUSTICE to Gov.
Miller. The Governor has made it a
rule, from which we understand there
las been no deviation, to require of a
candidate for Office proof that he has
SEEN service. He does not require,
however, that they shall be actually IN
service at the time of appointment.
Such rule would exclude discharged
veterans"
