If the platform of the Chicago Convention was
not sufficiently explicit for the satisfaction of the
Black Republican leaders, they can certainly find
no room for doubt in General McClelan's letter Of
acceptance His position is defined with the frank
ness OF soldier. 1t is, in word, that "the Union
is the one condition of peace"
General Mcclellan proposes to conduct the war in
q civilized manner. He will not make it an abolition
war. These are the only points in which he differs
from Mr.. Lincoln Whether even in these there
would be much practical difference, is not certain
But admitting that, if elected, the war would be
conducted as all modern nations conduct war, and
that slavery would be unmolested, still we should
have the war. Now, in regard to slavery, it seems
impossible to make position clear to theNorthern
understanding. For the ten thousandth time we
repeat, we are not fighting for slavery. The right
to say whether shall retain that species of pro-
perty sold to US for fair consideration by the New
Englanders and Old Englanders, is it is true right
we cannot eoncede The property itself is not more
sacred in our eyes than any other kind of property
There was time, before the days Of abolition,
when, in the border States, we were seriously
discussing the question OF its proftableness
For aught we know, it might have ceased to exist
by own act before this time but for abolition
interference. We not fighting for this property
now, but We have the right to say what We shall do
with our property, and, among other rights, that
is openly assailed by Mr.. Lincoln. He denies us all
rights, this included he denies us in short, the
right Of selfgoysrnment, which is ALL and includes
ALL We are fighting for We fighting, not to hold
saves, but to be free ourselves.

THE CROPS In YANKFEIANn

The Tribune occupies entire page of. its issue
of the 18th with tabular exhibit of crop prospects
and results in the Northern and Western States and
the Canadas, and says, editorialy:
On the whole, there are good crops the country
through The dry season has had its effect but not
TO the extent of destroying harvest in many places
nor even OF reducing them, was expected, largely
below the average In New York State, for in
stance, the crop OF wheat is estimated at from one
sixth to onehalf less than usual in eight or ter,
ounces, while in the remainder it is full average
crop or more. Corn is much worse in proportion
the proportions, in fact, being about reversed-so
that in not than eleven counties does the yield
come up to the average. Oats, again, do worse
than this, but their deficiency is partly ba anced by
full average crop Of rye. Hay is at least one
third less than usual.
The West, however, while it does not rejoice in
one of those magnificent harvests which exceed all
estimate and expectation, yields SO bountflly as
put at rest all apprehension of anything like a short
crop, and Of scarcity even for the unusual needs
such year this. The great diminution of labor
and the general drouth of three months duration,
have not suficed to reduce the crop below fair
average In Illinois, wheat varies a good deal in
different counties-in some is fourth larger than
usual, in few is less, III many is about as usual
SIN the southern part Of the State" says the re-
port, "winter wheat looks good; spring wheat
throughout the State is little below the average
Corn promises well all overthe State until it reaches
points two hundred miles south of Chicago. Crop
of oats, larger" In Ohio, wheat is below the
average; corn rather better oats decidedly better
crop than usual In Michigan, it is known that
many crops were burned, so that the average yield
il considerably reduced.

TIE IRISH.

The influence of the Catholic Church has not been
exerted in vain in endeavorng to restrain the Irish
from continuing to embark in this wicked war. AT
FIRST circumstances of their spiritual guides had
the slightest effect. The Federals had possessed
them with the belief that if they assisted in con-
quering the South, the United States would help
them as soon as the war over to secure the in
dependence of Ireland. A prospect of this kind
was enough to set them frantic They did not stop
to reason upon its probability, to reconcile the
Inconsistency of rghtng their wrongs by inficting
wrongs upon other people. Anything that held out
the hope of vengeance for centuries Of intolerabe
oppression was enough to ntoxicate the whole peo-
pie, and their young men plunged into the American
war with fierce enthusiasm.
They have paid the penalty of their folly The
bravest troops of the United States have fallen
in the forefront of the battle and their bones are
scattered in the fields and bitches. Reason has at
last asserted its ascendaney, and the voices of the
priesthood and of the chief bishop at Rome are be-
ginning to be heard and respected by the Irish
pie. They see; moreover, that instead of njuring
England, which was the only motive of taking part
with the North, they have been playing into the
hands Of their old enemy. They discover that, in
endeavoring to subjugate the South, they were ao-
tually assisting to rvet the chains more tightly upon
their own country. Russell and Palmerston desire
nothing more than to Ireland depopuated of its
present inhabitants and occupied entirely by an
English tenantry. They would be getting rid
thereby Of neighbor who must be always danger
GUS in the event of war between England and
France. So long large disaffected population
remain at her doors, France especially in these days
If staamshins can any day threaten the ;ntoor;+,,
Of the British Empire. That day may not be far
distant. And when the opportunity does come,
every Irshman will have reason to rejoice that he
stayed at home to meet and swell the avensing
legions.

THE BRooKLYS DEMOCRACY.
Under the caption Of the The copperhead Mass
Meeting in Brooklyn" tho New York Tribune u
the 18th says:
A Democratic mass meeting was held in the
Brooklyn Academy of Music, and at half dozen
stands in that neighborhood, last evening. There
were probably five thousand persons present at the
outside gatherings and the Academy was crowded.
With two or three exceptions, the speakers were
Ward politicians Of mediocre ability and little nfu-
ence. They banged away at their auditors with
broadsides Of bad grammar and disloynity, denoun-
cling President Lincoln and his Cabinet and the
loyal masses at the North. General Burnside, Cen
eral Butler and their associates in the army, came
In for liberal share Of abuse, and not word OF
censre did our reporter hear OF the rebels; not one
word of commentator OF our gallant Farfagut and
Grant, and Hancock. Hatred of the negro and SYM
pathy with the armed secessionsts of the South
through all their speeches. Peace on any terms
the ruling sentiment Of majority of the orators. ~
Their remarks. generally, would have been
applauded in Richmond. Had they spoken in the
would have been in jeopardy, for our loyal soldiers
would have mistaken them for rebels. They, how
cver failed to impress their auditors fayorably with
their opinions In all parts Of the crowd might be
heard expressions like the following: That's
iep' 600 to Dixie, where you belong!'' "The
ehs will vote your ticket if you give em chance '
:. How are you, wooden guns p ''Who arrested
the Legislature Of Marylande' Who first advised
conscriptingr' The cheering was not unanimous
nor enthusiastic indeed, it evident that large
proportion of those who were present had no SYM
pathy whatever with the reasonable utterances of
the speakers. Bonfires were lighted and bands Of
music employed, illuminated lanterns, notices, and
various devices, with pyroteehnic display, were
brought into requisition to swell the crowd, which
moved from stand to stand unsatsfied with the
poor stuff doled out to them from unpatriotic lips.
Many of the devices their banners indicated their
total kofoyaity to their country or to humanity

McLELLAN's VIEWS AND THE CONVENTION.
The Tribune, in commenting upon an editorial in
the New York Worid, says:
General McClellan's "views" are "those of the
Convention" is palpably not the case The ruling
idea of that Convention, very plainly set forth III
platform, is this "The war for the Union is fail
ure, because a blunder; the Union cannot be re-
stored by fighting; the true course is to stop the
war and initiate negotiations for cordial, amicabe
re-union-no other being practicable desirable ~
Such, we submit to every candid, intelligent mind
is the spirit, the essence, of the Chicago PLATFORM
This is very well expressed in the terms of that doc
ument-there ia no use III varying them unless to
press different idea. But General Mcclellan con.
ception OF our duty and policy is dfferent-radi-
cally, irreconciably different; hence his language
He believes it the duty of the rebels to return to
obedience to the Federal Constitution, laws, and
thorities; nay, more; he believes it our duty to
make them submit, if that be necessary. This may
be great improvement on the Chicago platform
certainly think it is--but it is ga horse Of an.
other color decidedly. General McClellan's letter
is better suited to the acceptance of nomination on
the Baltimore than on the Chicago platform.
