PEACE nEMAEn

The following clippings serve to show the
feelings and purposes Of the peace sneaks
and indicate the policy to be pursued if Nc
Clellan be elected: ~ .-.... ....r
We have not the slightest doubt that there
is mutual understanding between the Sey
mours, the WOODS, Vallandigham and the
rebels. This understanding is shown in the
secession platform adopted by the Chicago
Convention, and in the nomination of Mr.
Pendleton, Of Ohio-who is a practical Sc
cessionist-for Vice President. ~
; 1t is said that the "peace sneaks were
induced to agree to the nomination of Nc
Clelian on their platform, by private assur-
ances, that in case Of success, Ioratio Sey-
mour should be Secretary Of State, Vallan,
digham, of war, and that Cox, voorhees,, and
the other shining lights, should be reinelD.
bered and receive their share Of the spoIs.
There can be no doubt but Mcclellan has
entered into plot with Belmont, the agent
of the Rothschilds (who are the heaviest
holders of Confederate bonds in EurOpe)
that, in the event of his election, dishonur-
able peace will be patched up, so that the
United States will have to assume the debt
of the bogus government at Richmond !
This is the reason why Belmont spent so
much money to have Mcclellan nominated.
He was the only man named for the Prcsi.
dency that the foreign Jew could manipulate.
The New York Ne,cs, the vlest rebel
sheet in the country, declares that it accepts
the platform adopted by the Convention
(Chicago) as great triumph for the peace
party" 1t declares that the propositions for
.ctto Sc,
and that they have now been sanctioned by
the Democracy That is precisely the
fact. The platform is a triumph for the
peace faction. or, which is the same thing,
the rebels and traitors Of the country. 1t is
the traitors. There is nothing in it but
treason to the country and insult TO the loy-
al. 1t suits the Neas. 1t will suit jeff
Davis. 1t suits his friends. But it is an
object Of detestation 10 all true men. 1.."
That distinguished villain known as Hora.
ito Seymour, Governor of New York by
fraud, made speech at Tweedle Hall, in
which he declared that he preferred the rebel
constitution to that Of the Union.
Lewis Cass. who has been called Demo-
era, all his life, is reported to have dcnounc.
ed the Copperhead Chicago platform as q
most isnominious surrender to the rebels
We presume the report is correct, for we do
not see how he or any other real Democrat
could do otherwise. 1t is not merely an
ignominious surrender to the rebels 1t
is worse than that. 1t is an out and out
adoption Of rebel doctrines.
The New York Herald affirms that the
Chicago Copperhead platform will encourage
the rebels to hold out until the election
There can be no doubt about that. That
vas its aim and design. The Herald also
declares that the platform promises the -eb-
els one Of two things-the election of Mr..
Lincoln and northern instruction, or the
election Of Mcclellan and an immediate ces
sation Of hostilities, in which event " the
rebels will have everything their own way"
That is what the Herald says the rebels are
promised by the Chicago platform.
Horatio Seymour, in 1868, in New York,
did all that he could to withdraw the troops
who were crushing out the riot, that he might
leave the rioters victorious and in 1864, at
Chicago, he advocates the withdrawal of the
troops who are crushing the Rebellion, that
he may leave the Rebels victorious. The
people don't believe in such "efforts for a
cessation of hOstilities."
