The Chicago platform contains but three
points, viz: lst, the war failure 2nd, the
North responsible for the war; 3rd, an i'm
mediate cessation Of hostilitics. Adopt the
platform and you recognize the Southern
Confederacy. gThr platform is in perfect
sympathy with .Pendlcton. who has always
been peace man.--who has always declared
against coercion. Is McClella, n war man
as claimed? IT so. he cannot w:thnutn sac

war platform, or rice rsrsd, or else continue
TO stand straddle uniil the poor fellow splits
up, up. until he is split in twain. However,
if Mcclellan should be elected We would
speedily see both feet on the peace platform.
Tie speaker then alluded to the sympathy
til. peace Democracy extend to our ;sol'i'rry
II is the SORT OF sympathy the wolf feels for
the lamb. Suppose you were engaged in
hand to hard struggle with man who was
attempting to take your life. you succeed in
throwing him down, take him by thu, throat,
and hold him there. 4 ncighbor comes
along, and you ask his assistance to deliver
you from the urdcrous ruffiin. II" refuses
to assist you in the least, thinks the rnflian
who attacked you without lrovocation not t.
blame, hut assures you Of his sympathy, and
then passes on leaving You to help yourself
as best you can. If you should come out Of
the struggle alive how yon would hate, loathc
aud drspisc the cowsrdly VIZ, tch who would
not lend you his assistance in The, hour Of
your mortal peril, So it is With yallsndig
! ham, Pendleton, and the leaders of the peace
: Democracy. While our brave army was
graphing with the desperate foe, these men
/ were at the North endeavoring to discourage
enhstmcnts, and in every way possible EN-
bsrrassing tho Administration and impeding
the usefulness Of the army. How the sol.
dier> must hate such copperheads as these,
aud b " utterly despise and reject their prof
fcred sympathy" In conclusion the speak.
