The country has lost confidence in the
men in power. Politically and financially,
they have proved incapable of dscharging
the trust reposed in them. Lincoln has
been renominated by the appliances and the
machinery which belong to the unscrupu
lous use Of power. He appeals to the
.cupidity, and credulity, and the fears Of the
people, to re.elect him to the high Office
which he has d,sgrsced in the last three
years. They decline the unreasonable de

tion . failure, and his action not only weak
hut, like that Of all weak men, in pubic
position, in violation Of the rights Of the
people. They demand not only neu msa.
asuses but xe,o men. In this demand there
is . singular concurrence among honest
men. 1t is not alone the Democrats who
refuse to follow blind guides to rum, but
Republicans, who voted for Lincoln and
who sustained him as long as their con.
science would permit, now unite in pro
nouncing his administration hopeless and
the restoration Of the Union under it an
impossibiity. aaa-ra

An administration which, in four years Of
war, with unlimited command Of men and
money, fails to accomplish any satisfactory
result, can never hope, with any good
reason, to be again entrusted with power.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune, (mark the paper,) with
great reluctance. pays sterling tribute to
, the great merits of Mcclellan. He canddly
coniesses that il Mcclellan be the Demo

Tor the hero of Antietam. Here il what
be says: =.
''That the political feeling Of the army is
extremely unsettled, there is no chance for
doubt. 1t contains so many diverse ele-
ments, and "a tho victim Of such vast
amount of political manipulation, it is not
to be wondered at that there is little unity
OF political sentiment Add to this the
fact, that by FAR the largest part Of it's Gen.
erais and field officers are from the old
Democratic party, and the cause of very
extensive anti administration sentiment, is
easily accounted for. 1t is not "Ieace
Democracy" sentiment. but one far more
dangerous to Mr.. Lincoln and the Republi-
can party. II the Chicago Convention

Potomac will be largely estranged from the
present Administration. This il fact that
