Miller,s Jest Book, looks out upon the n
cres OF hospitals and inquiries, "What hou
ses are those?" We want man who car
entertain proper appreciation of theil
sunerings. man who knows what sol
der means when he points to missing
arm and says: "This arm was lost at sucl
oattie" or raising mutila.ed hand
says; "Thls hand was fractured at such .
battie-this limb was broken at such Q
battle, where fought at your order in de
fence OF The government Of my country
as you told me-" When soldier comes
to George b. Mcclellan he will not be
answered in ribald joke. The soldiers
all understand this thing. They know
what the Democratic party means; that
so long as the army exists under demo,
cratic rule, the brave children of the coun-
try who have enrolled themselves under
Its banners will be respected, regarded
and cared for, their pensions paid their
families provided for, because there will
be some humanity as we'll as blood in this
business. There will be no call upon hall
million OF young men TO 60 and be cut
to pieces under any pretence, hashed
worse than animals, worse than the Roman
gladiators, and then come back TO be
put, Off with jest. Cheers They will
all know, every one Of them, that General
Mcclellan is no joker, and all will know.
every one OF them, when they are told to
hight, that it will be for something that is
constitutional and legitimate, and when
they are told the fighting is ended, they
VIII DC willing TO say, "Well, General, Mr..
tres!uent, | expect you are about right"
Willingly and oheerfully will they acoui-
esce in the decision of the nation as exhib-
tied in the person Of the President. The
Army will throw up their caps in spite OF
subordinates, because the election OF Gen.
Mcclellan will reconnect them with q
gentleman. Hitherto orders have been
issued and plans devised to cut off the
Army from the people, to separate them
and array them against each other, and
that has been the great danger CT the last
four years. This vote will reconnect the
Army with the people, and give the civil
the paramount authority over the military
OF the country. Loud cheers.
To WHOM 1T MAY CoNCERN.-Mr. Wick.
! life, of Kentucky, said that the delegates
rom the West were or tie upiuivu that
circumstances may occur between noon
to-day and the 4th of March next which
will mako it proper for the Democracy Of
the country to meet in Convention again.
| lie therefore moved the following resolu-
tion, which was unanimously adopted:
ReSolred, That this Convention shall not
be dissolved by adjournment ut the close
of its business, but shall remain organized,
subject to be called at any time and place
that the Executive National Committee
shall designate.
This resolution of the Chicago Conven-
ton, TO hold itself en- permarence, gives some
regard it as "the most revolutionary step
yet taken" Others are at q loss TO know
what it means, and anxiously enquire
what occasion there can be for such a res
olution, the candidates of the Democratic
party being nominated, and the platform
adopted. Perhaps careful peruSal of the
following resolution, adopted by the Con-
vention, will assist our 'loyaP friends in
solving the problem that seems to puzzle
them so distressingly:
Resolved, That the direct interference ol
the military power Of the United States in
the recent elections held in Kentucky
Maryland, Missouri and Delaware, was 6
