promise to devote himself III future, III the past
with entire devotion to the great principles which
lie at the foundation Of our government-he rights
of the States and the liberties of the people in the

it was received from the last

The Chronicle is very much out Of humor with
the Chicago nominations 1t devotes its leader to
biography of Mcclellan. We give the concluding
paragraph:
| The nomination of General Mcclellan will be most
acceptable i'll the South among the enemies of the
Republic 1t will be perceived that it is hailed with
equal enthusiasm by Vallandgham, Belmont, Fer
nando Wood, Dean Richmond and all the opposing
elements OF peace and war in the so-called Demo-
cratic Association. Always a negative man, he
will be now more "a negative man than ever In
| the South his nomination will be accepted as de-
claration on the part of the Democratic party in
favor of the separation OF the Union. There is no
| champions of Mcclellan the known cham
plons OF disUnion. JEFF. Davis understands his
pupil we'll Educated i'll his school of poll
ties, he and his partisans will hail the action OF
the Chicago Convention with supreme satisfaction.
And they right i'll this, for whatever Mcclellan
himself may desire, the peace leaders at home and
the traitors at the South will decide adversely.
| However Mcclellan himself may feel, he un-
| doubtedly the apostle of degrading peace He
runs upon tins issue alone, and his peace is peace
| of reputation and dSuniOn And We
have a sublime confidence that the American people
will stand by, support, sustain, and adhere to, and
carry over all obstacles and against all appliances
Abraham Lincoln the Union candidate, into the
| Presidential chair.
OF Pendleton, the Chronicle says:
| Mr.. Pendleton is man of respectable talents and
attainments, Virginan by birth, and thorough
Southern in his political sympathies Not to put
too fine point upon it, he is what is known as
Copperhead of the yellowest hue and has been :ht
| yokefelow of the Woods in opposing the measures
OF the Administration for the suppression Of the
| behon. If anything will reconcile such men as
| Long, of Ohio, and Harris, of Maryland to The
support Of the ticket, 1t will be the name OF Pen
| dletOn
