GrOans of the Dying.

Since the Chicago Convention has placed
before the public ticket for which every
Peace man in the country can vote with con-
fdence of success, the Abolition Lincolnites,
Shoddyites and parasites have gone into
spasn,s, and it is painful to listen to the
groanings of the dying sinners over their
impending fate.
The shoddy family sigh and groan most
pitiously, and the dolorous lamentations of
1incoln's Loyal Leaguers are heart-rending
in the extreme. They see their doom in
the distance, and shudder and hopi at the
consequences of their own wicked deeds
Poor devils! their time is short, and we hope
they may be prepared to meet their sorrow
full end with frmness and fortitude. Their
sins have been many and enormous; but re-
pentance and reformation of conduct may
work change before death comes upon
them. Hence we say, may God forgive
them - Washington Reaister,

The New York News and its
Threatened Bolt.

The telegraph informs us that the New
York Neaos has repudiated the nomination
of General MCCLELLAN, and favors the re-
assembling of the Convention to nominate
another candidate. The reason assigned is
the Objectionable character of his letter of
acceptance. AS an original Peace paper,
and speaking as we believe, the sentiments
Nesos that this suggestion can not be enter
tanned for one moment by the people. Gen
eral McCLELLAN 1.-THE regularly nominated
Democratic candidate and no man profess
ing Democracy should have any hesitancy
in preferring his election to that of ABRA-
MAN LINCOLN, the only other alternative.

Change of Sentiment.

During all our years of political life or
observation, we never saw such a marked
change and rapid reversion of political SEN
timent as has come over the people during
the past six weeks. From all parts of the
country the report is the same. Men are
tired Of tue reign Of terror ana ltnpeclliuy,
and are cutting loose from the Republican
party by thousands. Influential editors,
who heretofore supported Lincoln, are now,
choice of the people. Prominent politicians
who for years have acted with and worked
for the Republican party, are this fall deser-
ting it to it's fate. The farmer, artizan and
laborer-the merchant and professional
man-are leaving Lincoln and his cause to
the engineering and support Of Office holders.
From all parts of the country--in all our
exchanges--by private letters and from gen.
tlemen who daily are calling at our office
we learn the same thing-that men who
heretofore were Lincoln's frmest support
ers, are now tired of him, and at work for a
change of administration '...'
There is no enthusiasm for Lincoln in the
Northwest. The poles erected four years
since to his honor, are now hewn down or
stand like leaning tomb stones. There are no
wide awake processons-no lamps lit in
honor of his cause-no shouts for the rail
splttcr--no frenzied cries for Honest Old
Abe--no appeals from Republicans for free
speech, free press, or free Kansas-no rails
trimmed with ribbons, and for circle of
three hundred miles, we have not heard of
single meeting to ratify his nomination.
In La Cross there are a full score of Re.
publicans who are quietly this fall, at work
for the peoples choice, Mcclellan, and not
a single Democrat but who is up and active
