Another Loyal Democrat on the War.

We ask loyal Democrats who intend vo-
ting for "Little Mac" to read the following
manly and patriotic letter from a lifelong
Democrat Daniel b. Sickles, Of New York.
Il is his letter Of declination Of nomina-
ton for Congress, addressed to the Conyen-
of the Ninth District:
New YORK, Thursday, Sept. 20, 1864,
DEAR SIR Your inquiry made on be-
half Of several members Of the Union Con
gressional Convention for the Ninth District
whether 1 would accept a nomination for
Congress has received the respectful atten-
ton due the patriotic source from which the
suggestion emanated. In declining the use
Of my name as a candidate for this high
trust, only adhere to resolution formed
when | entered the military service to re-
tire altogether from politics while holding q
commission in the army. This determine
ton, with other considerations, had already
constrained me, during the present canvass
to decline a similar request made by a
number Of my old and esteemed constituents
in the Fourth District, who desired to pre-.
sent my name to the Democratic Conven-
ton. [ yield to 10 citizen or soldier in my
solicitude for an honorable termination Of
the war. The war was deliberately begun
by the rebels, and is persistently waged by
them to divide and conquer tho Union, 1t
is not strange that our enemies should find
allies among European antagonists OF free
institutions but it will never cea Sc to be a
matter Of humiliation and wonder that our
own people could be seriously divided upon
the question of submission or resistance.
Let who will be for submission, | am for
resistance as long as we have a battalion
and a battlefield left.
Until the Constitution and laws are vim
dicated in their supremacy throughout the
land, the government should be confded to
no hands that will hesitate to employ all
the power Of the nation to put down the re
bellion. The resources Of the insurgents
are already so far exhausted that they will
give up the struggle as soon as a majority
Of the people at the ballot-box, seconding
the martial summons Of Farragut and Grant
demand the unconditional surrender of the
enemy.
Peace, so won, through the noble aspira-
tons Of the people, will exalt the national
character, and challenge the homage Of all
who honor patriotism and vaIor Peace i'm
posed upon us by an audacious and AFRO
giant foe, who would owe his triumph not
to the superiority Of his arms, but to a de-
generate population, unworthy OF their
lineage and forgetful of their traditions,
could only last until the contempt Of man
kind evoked from our shame enough man
hood to renew the struggle
Very respectfully DAN. Z. SICKLES

The Soldiers.

There has been votes polled by the sold
iars in the fieldin all the years from 1861
to 1864, inclusive. ...
Nine or ten States and the Territory of
Colorado have enabled their soldiers thus to
vote.
The soldiers of some of the States nave
voted at the elections of several different
years.
In no single instance has the right to
vote been extended to soldiers by g Dem
| ocratic" or anti-Lincoln Legislature.
In no single instance have the soldiers of
any State or Territory cast a majority of
| their votes for the " Democratic" or oppo-
sition tickets.
In no single instance have We heard a
complaint by soldier in the field that any
constraint was used by his officers or others
to influence his vote. Yet tens of thousands
of soldiers who voted while in service have
since been honorably discharged, and would
surely complain if their right of suffrage
hadAbeen abridged or perverted by their off
GERS or others in authority.
In the first year of the war, nearly a
third of those soldiers who voted cast ''Dem-
ocratic " ballots; last year, less than fftb
did 50. This year, so far as we have returns,
the proportion is even smaller.
| How impudent, how baseless is the pref
ense that the soldiers will vote for Mcclellan
and PendIetou,

Of thing, when the people are permitted to
harvest when they please, to meet when
they please to discuss politics, to discuss
questions Of constitutional law, to discuss
the RIGHTS and interests of individuals and
and the rights and interests OF the Govern
rnent. in the different States, and then talk
about oppression. Why, my friends, the
very fact that men are allowed to now as
they do against Lincoln despotism ana I'm
coin tvranny-the very fact that they are
allowed to meet in convention, and pass all
aorts If disIovaI and reasonable resolutions,
Is sufficient proof to any reasonable man
that the oppression they complain Of does
not exist. If they were very badly ''oppress-
ed" YOU would not hear of VallandighaIn and
such men rowing about the country advising
resistance to the draft, and denouncing the
war as a helish butchery and the men who
carry it on as butchers and despots. II you
want to see oppression, 90 down South
where Jeff Davis and his minions rule with
the iron hand Of tyranny. Go where no
man can speak unless he speaks in favor OF
JEFF Davis Go where the army rules su-
preme, and where no man except an army
man can talk. Have you heard Of any pub
lie Indignation meetings against jeff DAVIS
Won heard any Southern man advise resist
ance to Jeff Davis CONSUMPTION? No. Sim
Div because they dare not do it-because
thew dare not talk against JEFF Davis, much
less lift their hands against him-and all
this because they have a despotism in the
the South There you will see tyranny and
oppression. No man ought to talk about
oppression in this country. Some wrongs
have been done no doubt, but they have
been just such as have always occurred in
any country in revolutionary times. You
will find that the peoples rights have al
WAYS been more or less restricted during
periods Of political and national commissions.
The people of the North have suffered less
in this respect than any other people that
ever went through what we are going
through now. [Cries chats sol Historians
know that to be so.

MAILED 10 4 DiSlOyaI and DisuniOn
Platform"
From the N. Y. Herald. Sent. u. ]

From the n Y. Herald, Sept. 12]
The Democratic party is nailed to dsloy-
al and disunion platform, which their candi-
date, Gen. Mcclellan, has been compelled to
disown. The Chicago Convention has re-
solved itself into revolutionary body, sub
ject to the orders of August Belmont. The
NewS, the organ of the Woods, calls upon
Belmont to summon that Convention togath-
er to make another candidate and make the
division complete. August Belmont is the
nephew of SlidelI and the representative of
the Rothschlds, who are the financial re-
representatives. of Napoleon in the Mexican
business. Turn whatever way we will,
therefore we find Napoleon concealed behind
the peace platform, the peace politicians
and the rebel agents; and we assure the
American people and the Administration
that they have more to fear from this fact
than any Of them yet realize. Nothing less
than Northern Instruction, and the CON
sequent transformation of this republic into
two governments, is the programme of the
Emperor of the French. The question for
us is, will this programme be successful?
