ree- Some Of the copperhcad papers,
Ohio Muscatine Courier, for instance,)
say that the rebels prefer Lincoln to
Mcclellan. They know better when they
say it, but they say to themselves 'wh,t's
the odds, it may help u.s." Henry s.
Fhnsn. HIaneman Footcl a member Of
the Rebel Congress, has lately issued an
address to the people Of tie Confcdcrscy
;. which shows clearly where their hopes
lay lie says:
The Chicago Convention has now nom.
mated its candidates for the Presidency
e. rid Vice Presidency. aud enunciated a
~ platform Of principles. The sction Of
that body appears to have been we'll nigh
unanimous in regard to all important
questions ! hold it to be most certain,
Whatever opinion may DO expressed in
certain quarters to the contrary that this
platform is in strict and irrecon cilable
Opposition othc further prosecution Of
the war for any purpose whatever; Che.
second resolution of said platform is of
unnl'stakable import, and how any man
: Of discerning MUD can entertain q diff
aafercnt view Of the matter, l am at loss
TO conceive The resolution refcrredto,
8 ID the most emphatic manner, denounccs
gtlfc experiment Of war, as means Of 10.
e'ssoring thu Union; declares that "jns-
'.stica, hunhahity, liberty, aud tho public
= weifare demand tlintimincdiate efforts be
made fore a ees ion If ostilities;" that,
thug, the mos. earnest desire Is cx-
pressed for the restoration Of the Union
by pcaceable means, there is not the
i2s.ightcst hint Of intended constraiut Of

ed; his Willingness to run upon d gcnu,
h,.ide peace platform, commits him fuI1yo as
70 his future action 10 the event Of his
election, and his association With Mr..
pendleton, Of Ohio, whose soutsp6ken
peace proc'iyities arc 50 well known,
"n,akc assurance doub'y sure" in regard
to the course of any Administration at
the head Of which he might be placed.
81 Should the Chicago nominee be defeat
cd, as believe to be scarcely possible,
such result would be so clearly attrib-
a'utablc to force or fraud, on the part of
the uuprincipled faction now in power,
that it could not be reasonably expected
s that the great body of the State Rights
Democracy Of the North, now so fully
and del berately committed to innexble
Opposition to tho asrocious despotism or.
ganized in Washington city, wo2ld be
found willing to submit to that dcspot-
ism for four years more. | venture to
predict, therefore, should Mcclellan and
Pcndleton DO defeated, the States in which
the Republican Presidential ticket shall
be found to have failed, with view to
