THE CHICAGO PLATFoRM.-The New
York Times aflirms that Mr.. G. G. Clay,
one Of the rebel commissioners at Mag
ara Falls, brought with him from Rich
mond the draft of platform and adj
dress to be adopted by the Chicago Con-
vention, and that the special object of
the embassy was to arrange with the
leaders of the Democratic party for its
adoption--and that the following planks
ora in thof r1ln+r~----l iauInueItu as De-
low:
"5. The warto be prosecuted only to
restore the Union as it ,caS, and only in
such manner, that no further detrimont
to slave property shall be effected.
6. All negro soldiers and seamen to be
at once disarmed and degraded to mental
service in the army and navy and no
additional negroes to be, on any pre-
tence whatever, taken from their mas
ters.
7. All negroes not having enjoyed &C
tuai freedom during the war shall be
held permanently as slaves, and wheth-
er those who shall have enjoyed actual
freedom during the war shall be free, to
be legal question"
''Mr. Clay" says the Times, 'confesses
to his democratic friends that he is for
peace and aisHnton but he says. You
cannot elect without a cry of war for
the Union; but, once elected, we are
friends, and can adjust matters some
how He also says, You will find
some difficulty in proving that Lincoln
could, if he would, have peace and re-
union, because Davis has not said So
and will not say so; but you must as
sert it, and re-assert it, and stick to it, an6
it a0iK pass as at least half fororea.'

GEN. A. J. SMITHS ExPEDrTIoN.-A
correspondent with Sherman's army,

GEN. A. J. SMITHS ExPEDrTIoN.-A
correspondent with Sherman's army,
writing Aug. 18th, says:
"The last heard of Gen. A. j. Smiths
expedition, which was derived from
rebel sources, reports him near his old
battle ground at Tupelo, Miss. His
force is large, and he is not going to
stop in Mississippi this time, but push
on, striking at several points in Alaba-
ma.
One thing is Mississippi and
Alabama, except at Mobile, have been
Invested of rebel troops, and the rail-
roads and factories in those states are
at the mercy of any commander who
has energy and skill, and these qualities
all must agree are united in Gen. Smith.
There is nothing to prevent him from
pushing on to Selma and Montgomery,
and it is highly probable those places
are his destinations 1t is highly inn
portant that the lines of railroad from
Atlanta westward should be destroyed,
and that the navy yard be burned at
Selma, where the feet recently destroyed
at Mobile was built"

An Impartial witness.

The Montreal Witness, a heightened
and reliable Canadian journal, and with
out any possible connection with Amer
lean politics or personal bias, in a re-
cent article aug. 4th) declares that
while few men have ever been placed in
so difficult position as that occupied
by Abraham Lincoln. the impartial Oh
server must acknowledge that he has
fully sustained himself before the world,
and still maintains his character as an
upright and honest President. Its arti-
Gle closes aS.follows:
The Presidents principles forbid
retrogressive policy, either TO please
friends or to dsarm enemies. In the
spirit of Luther before the Diet of
Worms, Mr. Lincoln takes his stand up
on the Proclamation of Emancipation,
and SAYS 81 neither can nor will re-
tract anything" He is resolved that
slavery shall die, il he can accomplish
its death, auu on this hU STANDS before
the nation, regardless alike of angry
foes and timid friends.
Another matter will illustrate, we
think, the independence and integrity OF
the President The election takes place
III NONGihDIlj yCJ MI lIlilNOlh OttASto -
draft to take place in September No
idea of risking his election by so unpop-
ular an act is allowed to interfere with
what he deems essential to the interest
! of the country. AS far as we can judge,
his policy appears to be the country
| first, himself last Such disinterested,
ness and uprightness, in such place as
Washington and under the influences
which politicians in the United States
are known to employ, tend to give one a
higher estimate Of Mr.. Lincoln's char
acter, and to indicate him as worthy Of
occupying the position he now holds, foi
| another presidential term. And should
| he see before the close of his SECOND
| term of Office the restoration of the
| Union, and the complete abolition o
slavery in the United States, still re
tanning the good character he has al
ready won, his name will go down Il
posterity with greater honor than tina
which is now attached to the name o
Washington"
