The reasonable hope of ValaudighHm, Cox,
Wood, Voorhees, and Pendletou-this Is the re
suit for which the Chicago platform was formed
But why expose the purposes Of such party
| Why discuss the manifest results Of the triumph
| of such a cause2 They are plain TO the apprr-
| bepsfon Of every mind not dead to reflection, not
impervious to the suggestions Of reason not ire
| yocably welded to prejudice and error. Let us
hope that the time IL past when men may be ar
! rsyed in eninity to the Government by the decla-
| ration of demagOgues that the " Constitution haS
been violated aud trampled upon by the Admin.
istration" and tnat the struggle for existence in
| which the nation Ii now engaged " Is an abolition
| war for the destruction Of slavery" Such an
appeal to the prejudices Of the uDrefecting is as
criminal az It IL false and malicious. In the Ian.
| elIape Of Jefferson Davis, slavery has nothing
| to do with tho rebellion" It Is a WAT between
| Northern muscle and Southern Rristocracy. and
slavery was made the excuse for Its inauguration.
| For thirty years the Southern mind had been
| educated to treason, and the election of Re.
| publican President was the pretext not the
| cause of the rebellion. For the avowed purpose
of severlng all political connection with the toll
ing millions of the North, the slavehodIng aris.
tocracy of the South drew the sword ofrevoluiion

fathers. They flung their shouts Of defiance

fuuuted the banner ofrevolt in the face of 10y al
people. Then, like a mighty uphraval Of the
solid earth, rose the sturdy. toil.staned millions
of the North. For moment they stood in 81

What would be the results Of a triumph Of the

Coptederacy, Arms and means TO revolutionizt
| Them were provided BY the Secretary of War OF
the last Democratic Administration, but through
the fidelity of General Sumner the commander OF
| the Pacific Department, the scheme of revolution
and treason was thwarted. Although foiled In
1861, the emissaries Of rebellion have never relin-
quished the hope Of either alternating California,
Oregon Washington and Nevada from the Fede-
raj Union, of rendering their connection value
| less to the Government; aud what they Jailed 10

seeking TO accomplish through the aid of the bal

declare preference for The Baltimore nominees in
| November still would victory by the enemies
of the Government in Nevada prove an inconceiv'
| able disaster TO the prosperity ofour young state
| Let us glance for moment at the frnits OF such
| triumph. Let Us zee whether, viewed solely IN
the light Of personal interest, the Southerp'.ym

| The skies would leaden IN the angry trown OF
threatened tumult-conhdence in the integrity
and supremacy Of the law would he baniShed,

pre,orship in its mines Of gold and silver 10 the

MED the assistance of the home Government, re-
fused the MD of capital, overrun by dsloyal refu.
gees and outlaws, armed conflict and revolution,
which might not be avertrd, would scarcely in
crease the quiet honors Of ruined trade and pros
trate industry. AL the disasters which would in
evitably follow a triumph of the peace party In
November would be multiplied in blessings 10 the
people of Nevada by the success Of the Union
