THE CHICAGO PLATFORM,

We give below short extract Of speech
delivered by Dr.. Robert J. Breckinridgc at
Louisville, Kentucky, not long since. DR..
Breckenridge is an uncle of John c.
Breckenridge. We wish every man in the
United States could read the whole of the
venerable old mans speech. Here is the
extract read it:
"What is it you are asked to do in turn
ing him Uincoln) out? Consider, as wise
men, what you are called to sacrifice. In
tho first place, look at the platform of Chi
cago. Let me tell you secret about that
platform. 1t was made long before the
Convention met, at the Clifton House in
Canada made by the representatives of
the Confederate Government, in concert
with the leaders of the peace party in the
North. You ask how l know this? On
the 9Th of August, twenty days before that
convention met, the correspondent Of the
London Tines the European organ opposed
to the loyal States wrote letter which
was published in that sheet, stating precise
ly the leading terms Of the Chicago plat
form as agreed on there and then, and "a to
be adopted at Chicago. There were three
propositions distinctly stated by him First,
an armistice; second, demand for con-
vcntion; third, peace on any terms; and,
in addition, the turning out Of Lincoln and
putting in of somebody vho would stand
on the platform designated. Here it is:
two weeks before the convention met in
Chicago, the terms of that contract are
published in the London Times on the other
side of the Atlantic, and it comes back here
just as you received it from Chicago
More than this: 1t so happened that l saw
the gentlemen there who were making
these terms. I was satisfied they were
there for devilment and not for good The
talk of peace was mere bosb. They didn't
want to make peace with us; they wanted
peace for their Confederacy. 1t was that
portion Of the Democratic party lighting Us
in the South, and the other portion support
in them in the North, who we're negotiating
terms Of cooperation. The one half, l
say, are fighting US at the South and the
other half forming conspiracies and arming
their secret sons in the North; and they
of the North send Commissioners to the
Clifton House in Canada and they of the
South already have their commissioners
there. They met and agreed upon CON-
mon platform, which is taken to Chicago
and ratified by the Convention"

Sheridan's Victory.

A Washington special says that Sheri.
dams grand success near Winchester is
noted as the first victory achieved by the
national arms in the Shenandoah Valley,
and so magnificent in its proportions as to
completely wipe out long series of rever-
ses, which have given to that region the
designation Of the Valley of Humiliation.
The loss to the enemy in killed, wounded
aud prisoners, will, it is believed, reach not
less than 10000. While circumstances Of
the enemy's defeat leaves Early's army in a
condition little short of absolute rout and
Generalization, hearing of this operation,
our greater problem, Immediately before
Grant, is of much Importance, and will 60
far to decide the fate of Lees army and of
Richmond. The tremendous importance of
Lynchburg, as covering the now only re-
naming railroad communication with Rich
mond, has compelled Lee to retain in the
valley fully one-half Of his entire force, aud
Notwithstanding the terrible straits be has
been put to for lack of troops to meet the
movements of Grant, the fatal menace
which the presence of Sheridan's army in
tho valley constantly held forth, has forced
Lee to submit to them on peril Of the loss
of Lynchburg. The army covering that
point has, by Sheridan's splendid success,
been disrupted and demoralized, aud We
may at length look for the execution Of
that movement in the valley which has
always been an integral part of Gen. Grants
programme. Operations for the capture of
Richmond and other co-operatial movements
not proper for public mention, may be ex-
pected. Those best informed of the ele-
menss of the military situation feel assured
that we will take Richmond before the
Presidential election.

The Rebels Cheering for Mcclellan.

The fact that the rebels in front of cur
lines at Petersburg cheered when they heard
of the nomination of Mcclellan, has been
denied by the Copperheals. The following
which we End in the Philadelphia Press
fixes the matter beyond contradiction
ACTING QUARrERNAsrER's OFFICE, !
In THE FILED, NEAR PETERSBURG, Va,
September 3, 1864.
To the Editor Of the Press:
SIR: give you the following as one Of
the occurrences in front of Petersburg:
The news of the Chicago nominations
was received here on the I'd inst. The
nomination of little Napoleon created no
excitement or enthusiasm among the col
diers; be has some supporters among the
officers of the New York regiments !; they
are very cautious and say but little-prob-
ably they are ashamed.
While the Chicago Convention was in
session the rebels took interest in the doings
of said Convention. They c09tinually an
noyed our pickets to exchange papers
On the night Of the 4th inst, they being
satisfied that Mcclellan was nominated, at
about 0 o'clock the rebels sprang suddenly
upon their works almost along the entire
limo (the line is nearly twelve miles long)
and gave three cheers for Mcclellan.
Our men were perfectly thunderstruck
In moment or two our true Union boys
also sprang upon their works and gave
three cheers for Abraham Lincoln, and
both sides kept it up for some time. While
the cheering was going on, no firing of any
kind was done each side was too much
engaged cheering their favorite. This affair
has made thousands of votes for Mr.. Lin
coin. You will find but few Mcclellan men
in the extreme front about Petersburg.
Every word of the above is true, as thou
sands will bear testimony.

DR.. Leiber on the Chicago Platform.

The New York Times prints the follow.
ing logical extract from private letter
recently written by the eminent publicist,
Dr.. Leiber:
"The Chicago platform appears to my
mind the well.framed creed of Northern
scrvility to the criminal arrogance of the
South-a sanction of the highest handed
lawlessness. The election of General Nc
Clellan means armistice- means
separation; separation means disintegration
the instant separation of California, the
dropping off of Utah, an Empire in the
Mississippi valley, the excision of New En-
gland, and an inorganic clustering and re-
clustering of the Eastern Middle States
without any inherent character. Disinte-
grafton means defiance to the wonderfully
great and selfcompleting geography of our
country, and lapse into that state which
befell Europe in the Middle Ages, when
principalities rose and fell, enduring only
long enough to perpetuate the sanguinary
turmoil: it means repetition Of tho chronic
revolution which has afflicted South Ameri-
ca this half century, possibly with naigh-
Dor growing in moparchic power, which
soon would claim the right OF extension and
recuperation. Disintegration means the
reckless rising against that polity which
the Disposer of Events has ordained as a
normal type of modern civilization, against
the National Government, which is the
opposite to the halting League, the vast,
yet the ineoherent monarchy, the provincial
kingdom, the petty city, State, and the
fragmentary feudalism. 1t means quarrel
ing, bloodshed and ruin, without an idea
for century to come, and disgrace forever.
1t means the heartless destruction Of
nation appointed to perform great and
sacred tasks. 1t means all this and slavery
to boot, that "divine institution" whose
altar is the auction table, on which the
un-divine ties of parents and children are
torn asunder by the auctioneer, who thus
becomes holy missionary to the worship
ped institution

sheridans Second Victory.

War Dept, Wassiagto., Sept. %,
To Hon. E. NJ. Stanton: !
Sheridan has again beaten Early at
Fishers Hill, capturing sixteen guns and
many prisoners. This is in all probability
the finale of General Early.
j. D. STEVENSON,
Brigadier General.
Gen. Sheridan's victory proves to be sig.
nal and complete. The following dispatches
Of Sheridan's report to Grant gives oil the
particulars thus far received:
HEADQUARTERS Middle Department,
Six. Miles from Woodstock, Sept. 22. !
To Lieutenant General Grant:
I have the honor to announce that l
achieved most signal victory over the army
of Gen. Early, at Fishers Hill, to-day. l
fought the rebels on the north side of the
Shenandoah, and extending across the
Strasburg valley, westward to the North
Mountain, occupying a position which sp.
Feared most impregnable, after great deal
Of maneuvering. During the day, General
Crooks command was transferred to the
extreme right of the line, on the North
Mountain, and he furiously attacked the
left of the enemy's line, carrying every
thing before him.
Wien Crook. was driving the enemy in
the greatest confusion, and sweeping them
down behind their breastworks, the 9th and
10Th army corps attacked the rebel works
in front, and the whole army appeared to be
broken up. They fled in the utmost con-
fusion.
Sixteen pieces Of artillery were captured
many caissons and artillery horses. l am
tonight pressing down the valley.
cannot say how many prisoners have
been captured, nor do I know either of my
own or enemy's casualties; only darkness
has saved the whole of Early's army from
total destruction.
My attack could not be made until 4 p.
M, which left but little daylight to operate
in. The FIRST and third cayalry divisions
went down the valley to-day, and if they
push on vigorously to the main valley the
result of this days engagement will be the
more signal. The victory was complete.
P. Fl. SHERIDAN,
Major General Commanding.
The New Yoyk Herald's City Point cor
respondent says: Sheridau's great victory
has inspired our troops more than rein
forcement Of 10000. 1t was received with
uprdeous enthusiasm.
Geo. Grant telegrapbcd at once to Wash:
iugton to make Sheridan Brigadier in the
regular service, which was promptly done.
A salute of 100 shotted guns was fired
from each battery this morning at sun rise,
making over ten thousand discharges on the
rebel lines.

LITTLE Too FAST, GESTLEMEN.-The
Democratic Convention nominated q candi-

that there is an Assessor to elect this fall.
True, the act Of 1860 says the Assessor
shall hold his Office for the term of one
year, but the act Of 1861 provides that the
County Assessor shall be elected every sec
ond year.
