Copperhead Peace Platform.
Adopted at Chicago, August sOth, 1864.

/. That in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with answering fidelity TO the Union
under the Constit ution as the only solid 10 unda-
ton of our strength, security ana happiness as a
people, and as a framework OF government equal
iy conducive to the welfare and prosperity OF all
the States, both Northern and Southern.
2. That this Convention does explicitly de-
clare, as The sense of the American people, that
after four years of failure to restore the Union by
the experiment of war, during which, under the
pretence of military necessity, or war power
higher than the Constitution, the Constitution it.
self has been disreg in every part, and public
liberty and private right alike trodden down, and
the material prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, hberty ana the
public welfare demand that immediate efforts
be made for a cessation of hostilites, with a view
TO an ultimate convention of the States or other
peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment, peace may be restored on the
basis of the Federal Union OF States.
g. That the direct interference of the mil
itsry authorities of the United States in the re-
cent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware a shameful violation of the
Constitution, and repetition OF such acts in
tue approaching election will be held as revolution
airy and resisted with all the means and power I'M
der control.
a. That the aim and object of the Demo-
cratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and
the rights of the States unimpared, and they here
by declare that they consider the Administrative
usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers
not granted by the Constitution; the subverson
of the civil by military in States not in insur
rection; the arbitrary military arrest, imprison-
ment, trial and sentence of American citizens in
s. ates where civil aw exists In full force the sup
preston of the freedom Of speech and Of the press
the denial of the right OF asylum; the open and
avowed disregard of State rights; the employ ment
of unusual test oaths interference with and
denial of the right of the people to bear arms in
their defence, as calculated to prevent restora-
ton of the Union and the perpetuatlon of govern
ment deriving its just powers from the consent of
the governed.
g. That the shameful disregard of the Ad-
ministration to its duty in respect to our fellow
citizens, who now and long have been prisoners OF
IN a suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprobation, the score alike of public policy and
common humanity.
9. That the sympathy Of the Democratic par
ty is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
diery of our army, who now are ana have been In
the feld under the flag of their country, and in the
event of it's attaining power they will receive all the
care protection and regard that the brave soldiers
of the Republic have so nobly earned.

considered the uncertainty of life, and the
fact that in case Mcclellan should bow TO our
common lot, the effete mass of decomposi-
ton before referred TO, would be endowed
with new life and possess the power which 1t
would inevitably use, of dragging this coun-
try into the mire of the lowest debasement
under the cry of peace when none could
possibly exist, except By such degradation
"Messrs. Lincoln and johnson, in contra
distinction to the foregoing candidates, pre-.
sent uniformity of interests, of feelings, and
of views; we can, therefore, hope to have a
house not divided in itself. The public life
of both has been unsparingly criticised, and.
think, with no disadvantage to them; and
their policy as laid down in their platform is
clear, bold and positive, grasping the tremen-
dous evil of disunion with a firm grip, not
permitting a finger to loosen till the unciean
thing is utterly destroyed. Finally, their pol
icy is that which, and only which, could, as
a Union soldier consistently entertain"

Forty MILLION SEvEN-TH1RrIEs SUBSCRIBED

FORTY MILLION SEvEN-THIRTIEs SUBSCRIBED.
The subscriptions to this popular loan are
now over forty million dollars, and they con.
tinue to come in at the rate of about a mil
lion day. The public are satisfied that
there are no other investments so profitable
as U. S. securities. While nearly all the
hundreds of miscellaneous stocks sold in the
New York market have been declining for
several weeks Tin many instances twenty-five
per cent?, Government stocks have remained
firm and while lenders loan very sparingy,
and at high rates, on the best mercantile pa
per, they have plenty of money to lend on
Government paper, at as low rates as ever.
While the Government needs the peoples
money, and pays for it literally, it offers the
highest possible consideration besides, and
that is, safety.

that official reports and communications were

tire period, messages were sent to and received
from Gen. Mcclellan, lCho tCdS on board the gun.
boof d,rin0 the heariest fighting of the day. l was
not ON duty on the station during the afternoon:
but have heard from my comrades who were on
duty, that the Gen~rafs headquarters remaintd
on board the fleet until the battle was over"
Commenting on the battle of White Oak
Swamp, June 3Oth, Gen. BARNARD says:
"The army was saved in spite of Gen .McClellan's
Ignorance of the 'postien of affairs, and results
ofthe days fghting,' and consequent incapacity
to give intelligent orders"
Speaking of the battle Of Malvern Hill, the
next day, Gen. BARNARD asks and answers
"Where, this day, is the Commanding General :
Of with Capt. Rodgers to select the final position
of the army and its depots. He does not tell US
that it was on a gunboat, and that this day not
even signals would keep him in communication
with his army, for his journey was ten or MI cen
miles down the river, ana he was thus absent til
late in the afternoon. This is the first time we
ever had reason TO believe that the highest and
first duty ola General on the day of battle, was
separating himself from his army to reconnoi'e r
place of retreat"
Any candid man, who shall read Gen. Nc
CLELLAN's Report carefully, will be thorough
ly convinced that the brilliant battles of the
Peninsula were solely the work of the corps
commanders, and but for the interference Of
MCCLELLAN as Communicated chief, Richmond
would have been taken and the rebel army
| destroyed.
