TmE THREArENED BOLT.

. FROM fhe 7fTea
1t would seem at this moment that there is
likely to be something like bolt from the sup
port Of the Chicago nominees by tho extreme
left wing of the Copperhead peace faction. Mr..
Vallandigham delivered a speech at DAYTON.
Ohio, on Wednesday last, supporting the Chicago
lplatfOrm and nomin'c; but two days after,
while at Columbus, on his way East 10 continue
his electoneering speeches, he got copy Of Gene
iral McClellan's letter of acceptance. Upon read
Ting il, according to telegram which we are as
sured is accurate, he at once authorized the with
drawal Of his name from the appointments in
I Ohio, and returned home-tho despatch adding
ITO this announcement that the "poace men have
determined to maintain their integrity and will
Fsoon call meeting to determine their course of
/ action"
"A On Wednesday he declared that until the grea,
work Of the political campaign was accO O.aplished
i every cay, every hour OF his existence, every
thought, all that was dearest TO him, should be
yielded up Cheerfully and freely until upon the
Sth OF November, or the morning of the 9th,
when the sun shall rise to record country about
70 be redeemed, rcgencraied, and discnthralled."
Thus he faced on Wednesday, but in forty .eigh,
hours after he appeared to be facing In an oppo-
site direction. This from the author and writer
tof the Chicago platform-irom the member who
moved in the Convention that McClellan's nomi-
fnation be made unanimous-from the orator
'twho at once took the stump for the nominee
and declared that "there was not a man in
America more fit for the choice-that there was
}. not a man whose personal character, whose mo-
lrality, whose attachments to the principles, and
whose obedience TO the precepts of Christianity
"a man whose devotion to his country-a man
who, in every sense Of the word, is a gentleman
II say there is not q man in any respect above
II beyond General McClellan'-such action, we
remark, from the representative chief of the Cop-
iperheads looked at first blush rather omnous
u Besides Mr.. Vaandigham, the Ddiiy NeioS of
rhis city-the organ of the peace Secessionists-
came out on Saturday declaring that the Demo-
cracy must seek another candidate" than
McClellan-that Mcclellan now Islands before
Fhe people sel1-nominated, on platform of his
own cTeation"-that the "Peace party will not
ihey do homage to the betrayer"-that they
rdemand all that is nominated in the bond"-
and that "if the platform accords not with the
nominees conviction of right, a due respect
Tor the opinions of the assemblage that unani-
mousy adopted it requires that he should give
buck to the convention the standard of the De-
Docracy." The NeeS further stated that "the
Democratic National Convention is not dissolved;
is ready to convene at the call OF its Executive
Committee, andif General Mcclellan cannot abide
by the resolutions through which the principles
OF the party have been enunCiated, let the con-
,Tentlon Teassemble, and either remodel their
platform to suit their nominee, or nominate
f.adidate to suit the platform"
Beside these utteranCeS, there are numerous
others of the same kind from COpperhead leaders
pnd newspapers of less Importance. These mall
contents speak with great vehemence; but it is
not unlikely that few days may see the whole
movement fizze out.
