The -RadicaI. Vote.

The Cleveland Convention movement
was fostered and encouraged in all pos
sibe ways by the Copperheads, in the
vain hope that a division might be ere
ated in the Union ranks which should
be fatal TO success The vote of the
German Republicans, in particular, bit
was hoped, could be detached from
the regular nominees OF the Union par
ty largely reducing its strength in some
of the Western States, But one by one
the hopes of rebels and copperheads
alike are departing. Fremont and Coch-
rane, seeing that the issue was practi-
eally narrowed down to the Baltimore
and Chicago platforms and candidates,
and realizing the truth of what had
been told them by a majority OF the
Union party from the outset OF their
movement-that its only effect could be
to aid copperheads and disunionists-
have withdrawn in favor of the regular
Union candidates. Ben.Wade has hauled
down his manifesto, and is engaged
in dealing his heavy blows at the COM
mon enemy. Secretary Chase, if he'was
ever disposed against Mr.. Lincoln's re-
election, now declares that the safety OF
the Union depends upon it. And finally
the German clubs which were active in
advocating the nomination Of Fremont,
Butler, Chase or some other man
whom they thought more suited than
Mr.. Lincoln to their ultra radical no
tons, are perceiving the worse than
folly of throwing away their votes
when the safety of the Union is at stake
and are wheeling into line in support o
Lincoln and johnson. The New YORK
and Hoboken German clubs, before Gen
Fremont's letter of withdrawal was
published, passed resolutions pledgini
their support to the Baltimore platform
and nominees, and the Tribune say
others will soon take the same course
The resolution of the Hobokeu club wa
as follows: ..sf r
W1ereas. The triumphs of reactionar.
or radical principles in the next Presi
Dental election in the United State
will be of great Importance to hu
manity at large; and ,Cheyeas, ther
are, in fact, only two parties opposed t.
each other-the nti-Union, reactionary
pro slavery party, under the Leadership
of Mcclellan, on the one side, and tn
anti-slavery, pro- Union, National part
of progress, under Lincoln on the othe
and sehereas, every split in the Nations
party will work for the triumph of tn
i traitor party; therefore be it
Resogged, That the National Club
Hoboken will go hand in hand with tt
n National Union party and will suppol
the candidates nominated upon the Ba
timore platform--Abraham Lincoln an
Andrew johnson.
The withdrawal of Fremont al
'cochrane will give fresh impetus to tn
patriotic movement Of the Radicals
and when the November election com
round, the great UNION PARTY, cor
posed of all who love freedom and cou
try, whatever their shades Of differen
on minor points, will present fir
and unbroken front at the polls. A 81
rious, decisive and overwhelming veto
over rebellion -sympathiHers and abe
4 tors will be the result, for the only pc
sible danger of defeat has been fro
threatened divisions, and not from a.
strength the disunion element cou
itself gain among patriotic, intellige
and Union loving people.
