The CH1raGo NoNTxArroSs.-The nomina-
tions at Chicago SO far have totally failed to
produce any enthusiasm among the Copper
heads in this vicinity. The choice Of Nc
Clellan as standard bearer is pill of alcetic
bitterness to the Peace wing of the party,
and the vallandigham platform is gall and
wormwood to the War element Many are
in doubt what course to pursue. while others
openly denounce the nominations and in
wardly curse the hero of the Chickahominy
Pendleton would be acceptable to those who
repudiate Mcclellan, and Mcclellan to those
who repudiate Pendleton and the platform,
and as they cannot vote for one without
voting for both. many will decline voting for
either While Mcclellan was at the head of
our armies Pendieten was in Congress refus
ing to vote supplies for the brave soldiers
under him, and when the Chickahominy
hero made the order 70 arrest the Legislature
Of Maryland, still Pendleton was at his heels,
denouncing such proceedings as gross out
RACES unwarranted by The Constitution.

his fortune, ifnot his l.fe-thst thousands Of de-
voted parents and wives have already sacrificed
children and husbands, dearer t..an property be
yOnd all calculation that he. if he be true
must still look upon independence and honor as
superior to all earthly possessions and that the
country now calls upon him for one tventieth
part alone of that propertr, the whole of which,
reflection, he would chesrfully sacrifice if re-
quired for success.
What matters it then, if he cannot make biz
tax clear, without infringing on his capital. Let
