The Platform and the Candidate.

The Freeman's Journal is the leading and
most influential OF all the Catholic papers in
New York. Its editor, Able Nc Masters, went
to the Chicago Convention, influenced by the
interest he felt In the results OF that conven-
ton. On the 9Th inst, before McClellans let
ter was published, he thus spoke of the plat
form:
Beggars must not be choosers. We are re-
duced, as peoples, to q beggarly condition, and
may, therefore, take Leggarly platform. 1t
is not even half Loaf" but better the heel
of sour loaf, of dirty table, than absolute
starvation. We had no right to expect much
better from the Chicago convention, composed
of the order of politicians that, In most of the
States, secure the majority of places as dele
gates. So we are prepared to put up with the
action of the convention, in regard TO the pro-
gramme OF principles" What we cannot
accept, Is not practical, but mere dead rubbish
of ruined past.
OF the nomination of Mcclellan he dis
coursed on this wise:
Let no mistake be made as to facts. Nc
Clellan's nomination fell on the West like q
cold equinoctial storm. On the eve of his
nomination, when it became certain that he
would be the candidate, thousands Of West
ern men left Chicago in disgust. They have
yet to be treasured, or no political manipula-
tons will secure their support, or that OF the
multitude they represent. There was no in
telligent observer at Chicago who did not see
and know that the crowds there assembled
we're determined on peace and no more .fqIt
ing Nth Southern States. The peace cahdi-
late is the only one that can win in the COM
ing contest.
Having thus spoken of the platform and the
chief nominee, he calls upon that nominee to
face the music or take the consequences, as
! follows:
Under which banner, then? Are you for
peace, or for " war for the Union "-or going
to hell to gain heaveni We demand the blunt
answer of an honorable soldier, and we expect
it. On that hinges the action of two hundred
thousand enrolled voters-sold at Chicago, but
not delivered, by spurious political leaders.

The Soldiers VS.. the Oouuerbeads


From Chattanooga paper now before us.
we learn that one Augustus A. Starr, of Indi-
ana went down to Chattanooga to procure
co'ored substitutes for Indiana copperheads
who were liable to draft. The 4sh Indiana
battery, OF which Starr was formerly Lieu
tenant, knowing his character, held an indig.
nation meeting, and denounced him for his
disloyalty, for his completely with certain con-
perhead resolves opposed to the government
and denunciatory of the draft, and setting
forth that the war was a failure, and protested
against allowing any such disloyal persons TO
come within the Federal lines, and respect
fully requesting the General commanding the
District or Department to furnish the said Au-
gustus A. Starr with an escort from wherever
he may be found to north of the Ohio River.
Nothing is half so offensive to loyal soldiers
as the traitorous northern copperheads.

DEAR - Il got up here the
11tn inst. We were put on picket duty in
front OF the rebels. We then had no firing on
the picket line, and talked, and traded coffee,
papers, &C., with the rebels; but during the
night OF the 18th, we advanced our line and
drove them back after a sharp fight. Part of
our line occupied their abandoned rifle pits,
but our Regiment dug new ones for ourselves
during the darkness. At daylight we found
ourselves snug in to the rebel works. Here
was a fix. The Johnnies ordered us to surren-
der, and as some of us we're SO situated that
we could not get back, few surrendered.

to me, as our men kept up hot fire upon
them. stayed there two days and nights;

SUspIcIoUs.-A drafted man from the coun-
try informs us, that he was boarded oy d nan
on the street, who appeared very solicitous 10
get him clear, and said he could do so through
q friend of his in the office. Afterwards he re-
ceived printed card, from suspicious petit
logger hailing from an Office in this city, offer
Ing his services particularly at this juncture,
to all drafted men entitled to exemption for
non apparent causes, and he found out that all
the drafted men Ia his town were favored with
similar cards. A friend Of his-also drafted
was told that he could be cleared for 500!
Our informant went to the Office from which
the aforesaid pettifogger halls, and there he
found the fellow who had boarded him in the
street and claimed to have an influential friend
iurthe Office. He saw there only copperheads,
and several of them of the worst type. The
thing looks suspicious. And it looks particu-
larry SO to find men claiming responsibility
prostituting their professional Offices to the
uses of those who, for a fee, will lend their en-
ergies to defraud the Government out of the
services OF men to which it is entitled.
