The Chicago Platform Approved by
McClellnm preNiOn 70 its AdOptiOm.

Mcclellan previous 10 its Adoption.
Since the appearance of Mcclellan s
extraordinary letter of acceptance, the
New York Nears, indignant at the tone
of that document, has made the follow
ing surprising statement:
Three planks of the Chicago Platform relating
to peace were by common consent agreed upon
more than two months before the Convention
met. Early in the month of July aSt-we have
it upon the authority of delegate from Indi-
his State to act as one of the committee to in
form the candidates of the action of the Conven-
tion.the Platform, with its peace planlls, al.
most word for word as adopted, was presented
to Gen. Mcclellan and was by him approved
both IN It's letter and in its spirit.
No Democratic paper or speaker has
yet denied the statement. 1t has been
reiterated by Mr.. Edgerton, member of
Congress from Indiana, who says the
substance of the platform was conveyed
to Mcclellan in advance by one Judge
Hanna. And yet this Mcclellan waits
nine days before he announces publicly
his acceptance. Then he appears with a
half-and-half war letter, hoping thereby
to conciliate the war element in his par
ty. He has never repudiated the peace
platform, but by his acceptance of the
nomination rendered upon it he becomes
essentially the Chicago platform. He
is us much committed to dishonorable
peace or dissolution of the Union as
Vallandigham or Pendleton. His party
will not be governed by his individual
opinions, but he must be governed by
his party.

Justice and right is again triumphant.
Again has it been demonstrated that, in
a contest between liberty and slavery,
God is on the side Of liberty, and with
His propitious smiles favors those who

Another star has been added to the
glorious constellation of Free States,
and her soil has been dedicated to the
interests of freedom and the white man.
Her soil shall be no more pressed by the
foot of a slave. The people have so
ordained; let all the earth rejoice! The
