Tho Trnitor,. Cnudidate,

Speaking of the reasonable conspiracies
in the North, for the armed overthrow Of the
Government, an account of which has been
given by Judge Holt in his recent report, the
Call says
1t is noticeable that all the leaders, as far
as known, are favorable to Mcclellan, some
Of the associations bearing his name, and the
proof being rather strong that JEFF. Davis
had hand in drawing up the ritual. We
know very well that sympathizers with the
South calculate that the nomination of Mr..
Lincoln will lead to a revolution in the North.
this being one of the objects Of the order of
traitors. When Vallandigham spoke of his
reliance upon half a million Of men, he un-
doubtedly had reference TO these bands of
which he is the head. He seconded the nom.
nation of Mcclellan. His Aids. and Depu-
ties, his Brigadiers, his rank and file, ali 90
for the nominee of the Chicago Convention.
The South accepts him, as, according to Mr..
Stephens, furnishing prospect Of Southern
independence. Under such circumstances
no man can vote for Mcclellan without sus-
picion Of his loyalty. A man who is so &C.
ceptable to the Rebel leaders, who is sup
ported by all the known Secessionists in the
loyal States, who is the candidate of all these
leagued, drilled, and sworn aiders Of the Re-
bellion, bound by oaths to oppose the Gov
eminent and the war, is not the man for the
vote OF any citizen who desires to see our
Government sustained, our Union preserved.

Their Platform n Lie.

The Oroville Record, reviewing McClellan's
acts in conjunction with the President-his
imprisonment Of the Maryland Legislature,
etc., etc., "too numerous to MENTION" says:
1t will not answer the purpose of truth to
say that Mcclellan, being subordinate TO the
President and acting by his direction, was
not responsible for these alleged violations Of
the Constitution and outrageS upon the peo-
pie, for, if they were crimes. he had the alter
native of being an accomplish in their COM
mission or resigning his command; and, not
resigning, he voluntarily acted in conjunction
with the President, and the law and public
opinion the world over will hold him equally
guilty or innocent with the President in the
commission of those acts. And we aver that
we are justified in saying that, while the Plat
form denounccs the acts Of the Administra-
ton as tyrannical and despotic, the endorse
ment of the man who voluntarily assisted in
the execution Of many of those acts, and
especially those denounced as the most fla
grant, is in fact an acknowledgement that the
Copperhead platform is a lie; a faLsehood to
deceiue the people; a net to catch suckers.
These acts Of Mcclellan were denounced by
Harris before the Convention, and that astute
body, in their eagerness to adopt the nomi-
nation, adopted, unwittingly or otherwise, the
whole policy which they denounce. in their
platform. II this is not eating ones own
words and swallowing dirt with them, pray
tell us what would be- They are condemned
by their own acts.

THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE COPPER
HEADS WANTING do not believe there is
a leading exponent Of Democratic views in
the whole country who will deny that they
are ready to amend the Constitution so as
to make it satisfactory to the South, if they
will but come back into the Union. Indeed,
that is the very object Of the demand for
Convention Of the States. We challenge
refutation OF the statement. In proof, we
have only to cite the declaration Of Gov.
Seymour, in the spring Of 1861, that he con-
sidered the Rebel Constitution preferable to
our own, and similar statements by other
Democratic leaders. Also, the speeches Of
the orators of the Chicago ratification meet
ines. The leader of the Iowa delegation,
Mahoney, said -
"We must elect our candidate, and then,
holding out our hands to the South, invite
them TO come and sit again in the Union cir

"Ifthey will not come to us, am in favor Of
going to them !!' Loud cheers.l

AUGUSTA BELMONT.

Ii will be recollected that the dispatch
received the other day by Alcatraz Weller,
and the repetition of which in this paper
caused such wild frenzy of delight that
night at the Buazard Roost in Virginia,
was sent by Auguste Belmont. 1t is
probably pretty generally known that
Belmont is the American agent of the
house of Rothschilds but it NAV not be
as generally understood ,chy he sent Old
Alcatraz that lying dispatch. The follow
ing article, which appeared some days be-
fore in the Stockton Independent, shows
the relations existing between the great
banking house and the Southern Confed-
eracy, and accounts for its agent sending
dispatch which might have tendency
to revive the Copperhead spirit and raise
hope of " carrying California -
1t has been told to us that not many weeks
ago wealthy and aspiring merchant Of San
Francisco received 4 telegram from the New
York agent of the Rothschilds, which read
substantially us follows:
"Mr. -: Use all your influence for
Mcclellan. Garry California by all means;
and if you do, return to New York nexeyear,
and well make you Mayor. Our house
Rothschilds'l have ninety-three millions Of
dollars at stake"
This dispatch accounts for the hostility Of
the London Times, which the Rothschilds are
said to control, and also for the fact that that
wealthy firm has declined to loan money to
the Government OF the United States. The
ninety-thrce millions at stake is Of course
invested in Confederate bonds, with cotton
for security. But if Mr.. Lincoln is reelected
and the vigorous war policy which Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan and Farragut have been
so well executing since May last, will con-
tiuuc, and the rebellion, under such terrible
blows, must speedily collapse and beg for
terms. No more cotton can reach Europe
from the Confederate States after Wilmington
shall have been put in the condition Of Mo-
bile; and so the ninety-three millions in
vested in cotton securities will be dead loss
to the Rothschilds The statement may be
exaggerated, or it may be false, but it at
least has the marks Of truth upon it. II
true, the agent OF that firm in New York
may be assured that his principles are not
rich enough to buck against the Great Re-
public, or even to corrupt the single State Of
California.

The Pacific States.

In an article scolding the Central Pacific
Railroad Company for its hardness in the
construction OF the road, the San Francisco
argus gives the following interesting items
of information concerning the present and
prospective States Of the Pacific and Interior
Basin:
On this slope of the continent, State after
State, emerging from the chrySaliS Of mac
tivitv, begins to spread its wings and wheel
into the line of independent sovereignties.
We shall, in very brief period Of time, add
seven or eight new States to the galaxy, and,
when they are organized and admitted, We
shall form very important and considerable
portion OF the American Union. The new
State Of Nevada will doubtless be admitted
into the Union at the approaching session Of
Congress. The group of Pacific States will
at no distant day comprise California. Ore
gon, Nevada, Deseret or Utah, Idaho, WASH
ington, Arizona, and ION our eastern boun-
daryl the States of Colorado, Dakota and
New Mexico. These ten will be entitled TO
choose an aggregate of twenty United States
Senators and their number OF Representa-
tives in Congress will be apportioned accord
ing to their respective populations. The
State of California contains geographical
area OF lSS,9S2 square miles; Oregon, 1924
square miles; Washington, $1,000 square
miles; Utah, l06,S54 square miles Nevada,
S5,454 square miles; New Mexico, l20,326
square miles; Arizona, l22,7S square miles;
Colorado, l05,SlS square miles; Idaho,
325,G59 square miles, aud Dakota, 1869
square miles-an aggregate geographical area
of one million, three hundred and sixty-three
thousand, seven hundred and ninety-threc
square miles-u country large enough TO sub
sist a population greater than that OF all the
Atlantic States combined. These States EN-
brace every variety of climate and soil, and
an exhaustless mine of wealth. Idaho, which
was last year erected into Territory Of the
United States, already promises to rival Cali
fornia in its rich mineral deposits.
The condition of Utah Territory is anoma-
lous with population Of more than forty
thousand, she, in 1862, adopted State Con-
stitution, and applied to the Congress Of the
United States for admission into the Ameri-
can Union. But for the first time in the his
tory of the Government, the petition was dis
regarded and denied.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Philadelphia
Press in the Army of the Potomac says the
news of McClellan's nomination created no
enthusiasm among the soldiers, and only
few officers of some OF the New York regi-
ments evinced any satisfaction. The rebels,
on the other hand who were very anxious to
know what the Chicago Convention was do
ing, when they learned the results Of its de-
li6erations, sprang suddenly upon their works,
almost along the entire line Of twelve miles,
and gave three cheers for Mcclellan. Our
men were perfectly thunderstruck, but in
moment or two also sprang upon their works
and gave three cheers for Lincoln. While
the cheering was going on, no firing OF any
kind was done; each side was too much en-
gagged cheering their favorites. This affair
has made thousands of votes for Mr.. Lin
coin.

GIN. MCCLELLAN has placed himself on
platform that pronounces war failure,
and that proclains cessation Of hostii-
ties TO be the only means of restoring
peace. By committing himself TO this
position, he contradicts the following, con-
tanned in a. memorandum addressed by
him to the President on the +th o. Au-
gust, 1851:
Il has become necessary to CRUSH poPu-
lation sufficiently numerous, intelligent and
~arlike TO constitute 4 nation.
By thoroughly defeating their armies,
taking their strong places, and pursuing a
rigidly protective policy as 10 private proper
" and unarmed persons, and 4 lenient course
as 10 private soldiers, we may well hope for L
permanent restoration OF peaceful Union.

Government must be supported by orer'cheio'-

following extract from u speech delivered by
$. A. Douglas before the members ofshe Hi
nois Legislature short time prior TO his
death. and will show what he thought to be
the duty Of Democrats:
Now, permit me to say 10 the assembled
Representatives and Senators OF our beloved
State, composed OF men Of both political par
ties, in nv opinion it is your duty 10 lay aside
for the time being your party creeds and
party platforms; to dispense with your party
organizations and partisan appeals; to forget
that you ever were divided, until you have
rescued the Government and this country
from their assailants. When this paramount
duty shall have been performed, it will be
proper for each of US to resume our respec-
i've political positions according to our own
convictions Of public duty. Applause.I
Give me a country first thar nv children may
live in peace; then We will have 4 theater for
our party organizations to operate upon.
