adopted to defend the nation against its
open aud secret foes This clause places
Mr.. Lincoln before the country as the ad-
vocate OF arbitrary arrests, of outrages
on the freedom Of the press, Of violations
of the sanctity Of the ballot-box, and Of
his repeated overriding in these States OF
all civil and political rights.
The Democratic platform "rcsolved that
the direct Interference of the military au-
thority Of the United States in the recent
elections held in Kentucky, MARYLAND :,
Missouri and Delaware was a shameful vi
olation of the Constitution Another of
the Chicago plaDks protests against "the
arbitrary arrest imprisonment, trial and
and sentence of American cilizens in
States where civil law exists in full force,
the suppression of the freedom Of speech
and of the press, y the employ
ment of unusual test-oaths, and the inter-
ference with, and the denial of, the right
Of the people to bear arms These place
General Mcclellan before the country as
the advocate of all the tights Of the citi-
zen, personal and poltical-free speech, ,
free press, free suffrage and trial by jury.
Mr.. Lincoln, then, is the candidate OF
War ; General Mcclellan is the candidate
/ of Peace. The Abolition nominee asks
that be be allowed to force back the South

ic candidate asks to win it back, produc-

The Baltimore nominee invites the pco-
pie to support him in his design to aboli

inee invites the people TO support him in
his determination to maintain the Consti-
tuition as it is.
Mr.. Lincoln asks the country to com
mend, while General Mcclellan asks it to
condemn ,outrages on the freedom Of speech
and Of the press, incarceration Of citizens
by military violence, and high handed Vi
olations Of that sanctuary of popular lib
erty-the ballot box.
The foregoing is an honest making W
of the actual issues presented by the

of the humblest man in our land, shall be
punished by the full vigors Of the law. 1t
matters not whether he sits in the Pres-
dental chair or holds an humble office un.
der our government
We have had upon this floor a touching
and significant proof Of the folly Of this ad-
ministration, who bave driven from their
support those upon whom they chiefly
leaned at the outset Of the rebellion. Then
their hopes, even for their own personal
safety were upon the noble men ia the bor-
der states, who, under circumstances the
mot trying, severed family relations hip
aud ancient associations to uphold the flag
of our country. Many of these men are
now mem bers Of this convention. They
bear impr essed upon their countenances
and manifest in their presence the high and
generous purpose which animates them !;
and yet it is truc-and great God that it
should be true-they are stung with the
sense of ipjuetice and ingratitude of low
and unworthy men, who have insulted and
ruined them and their families, and tram
pied on their rights by vindIctive legisla,
ton and through the agency of mise able
and dishonored subordinates.
Gentlemen, l do trust that our proceed
ings hero will be marked by harmony. l
do earnestly believe that we shall be ami
mated by the greatness of this occasion.
In all probability the future destiny of our
country hangs upon our action, Let this
consideration inspire us with spot of har-
mony.
God Of our Fathers bless US now, lift US
up above all personal consideration, fill US
with just idea Of the great responsible
ties which rest upon US, and give again to
our land its UNION, its PEACE aud its LIB
ERTY.

Are these Men Traitors ?

We clip the following affecting incident,
which occurred in the Chicago Democratic
Convention, from the Chicago Times, of
Tuesday -
During the proceedings of the conven-
ton, and calling the roll OF States for the
presentation of credeulial,, the chairman
Of each delegation came forward and pre-
sented the credentials Of himself and col.
leagues. Commencing with Maine, the
Secretary called one State after another

were two delegations from that State, and
the Secretary paused moment as if in
doubt whether to proceed further, but Fl

men OF the respective delegations, arose in
their places at the extreme rear OF the plat
form, and, locking arms, advanced with
slow and trembling steps 10 the Secgeta.

There was that in the bearing Of those
venerable men, full OF honors and assoc.
ated for years past with their country 5
history, that told palmer than words the
purpose which brought them there-some.
ching which said those gray hairs and
those aged forms, trembling and totteripg
upon the very verge of the grave, had not
come up from their homes to this strange
city for any less purpose than to assist in
rescuing the honor and hopes of the coun-
try which had made their names great and
honorable. As they advanced slowly up
The broad aislo one leaning upon another,
deep emotion thrilled that vast audience
of thousands.
At last the Secretary's table was reach
ed and, surrounding each others arms,
these two old men bowed beneath the
weight of years, turned and faced each
other in silence-and then, as if realizing
suddenly the happy, peaceful days Of their
earlier manhood, when their country's S
glory was reflected upon them, and re-
viewing year by year and step by step
each advance to the present time, finally
taking in at one rapid glance all the wide
spread rnin and devastation-these groans
and tears, these widows and orphans, these
millions OF graves, these oceans of blood,
this divided countrY-as if comparing the
past with the present, and realizing per"
haps, stronger than ever before how hap
py, unhappy, is the great country they
came from the very verge OF the grave to
try and save-these two old men fell upon
each Others shoulders and wept over this
ruin and appreciation of the terrible re-
sponsibilities resting upon them, The vas.
audience was hushed-the sobs of the two
old men who, after years had palsied their
tongues and wasted their strength, were
about to undertake the greatest and grand
