When the Rebels began this War, they
did it with the hope aud expectation OF
success firo1yt diriyad N,rA! They
are bitterly iisaPpointad-defcsted. Yet
they have SO far djcIlsd The North as 70
keep up the War until now. Their last
hope, at present, is TO DIVIDE THE UNION
PARTY, so as to elect Gopperheai for
PresIdeut-tnr with such Il man they fee!
sure they could triumph at last
Carrying ont this concerted plan, i3b
men, SELF APPOINTED, but pretending to
represent II States aud the District, met
ut Cleveland one day last week, uud made
u new party styled R,iicdl Denocr0is-
they nominated Gen. Fremont, Presidcnt.
and whitiling New York city Politician,
Gen. Cochraue, for Vice President. The
Convention was first called in the worst
Copperheai prpers, and was apparcnIiy
managed by them throughout.
The platform is very near right (ani SO
ore many plausible de.iees i.r bad ends }
except that which looks to q waT against
France to sustain the Republic IL Mexico:
We eau not afford another war until ibis
is successfully ended.
There are names of honest, true men,
nmoug the operators in this mOycment-
men who really want Slavery crushed
but they were powerless The managers
were mostly ''sOre heads, who hsG been
dismissed from Office, OF refused otfice. by
the President; or ultra, impractclbl bic,
non-vCting Aboii'iouists, ike Wendell
Phillips; or fuC-!osing adventurcrs or
else German rcvolutIoulsts, not SO much
wrong i'll heart as in head.
Should Cen Fremont accept of this
nomination, it would somewhat di-ap-
point hi. old time and true friends. Like
Gen. Mcclellan, his ambition aud pride
are wounded by their defeats and dI,mis
sails from "flice; but manhood and patrio-
tism now forbid anything that looks like
revenge. They are yet young, and tue
people will do them justice.
If this game was to influence the Bal
timore Convention, it must fail The
Germans Of Chicago have alrcady rapudi-
ted it, We know of 10 true Union paper
or Unionist who supports it. Bogus aal
changeabie characters will doubtless be
brought TO try to give 1t life.
But the true representatives. Of Lnioni.ns
meet at B,lt,niore dis 'reek. They repre-
sent the people, not themselves only. They
speak for the masses. Aud we believe
their choice will be ratified. With LIN
COLIN for President, and GRANT for his
right hand man-terrib!y in earnes. for
crushing this foul conspiracy against man
kind-the intelligent voters are not to be
hoodwinked, divided, and conquered by
this Cleveland copperish reconnaissance.
@-TuE PENN'A RESERVES (mos. Of
them) were iu hard f 5Lt at Mechanics
vile, Monday of last week, where the
Rebels were defeated with terrible
slaughter. Their time had expired, and
as theg did not seem specially needed the
majority voted 10 return home. Their
last were their best engagements, and
elected the public praise Of Gen. Warren.
1t was near the scene Of their defeats
under Mcclellan, and, with tha, triumph,
the "iiCscryes" ended their labors, and
are now on their march homewards
Deaths, wounds, sickness, promotions,
designations, details, &c, have reduced
their numbers to about $50 in each Reg-
ment. They are expected at Harrisburg,
daily, for discharge
1D- One of the engineers of the Argus,
drafted in this Borough, claims his legal
residence in East Buffaloe, aud will there
fore probably be exempted. But we are
informed of certain pcrsons-uoways for

Perfectly safe TO subscribe, as it will not
be reguired-but it shows how the sympa-
thies of that class are enlisted.
~r James Mil, (war. Democrat Pres
ident Judge, recently died at Chambers
burg. Being childleSs, be had wiled his
property to relative 10 his county, some
time since-but, the person proving to be
Coppcrish, the Judge revoked his gift on
the ground that be could do nothing to aid

men, but as they had been mostly if nat

the error will probably be corrected.
Messrs.E iitors Permit me TO recomn.r,
the Hon. JAMES MARSHALL, of VIM.
