is frank and manly ayowal of senti-
rent just such as true soldier and
tatriotic statesman should make when
addressing his fellow countrymen. That
It is not entirely satisfactory to ultra
peace men, we are free to admit. But in
= contest where the gulf is so vide as that
between the position OF Gen. MCCLELLAN
and the monstrous doctrines Of Mr.. LIN
COLIN and his party, the advocates Of peace
cannot hesitate what TO do. The Chicago
;latform is all right. If Gen. MCCLELLAN
IS elected, as a Democrat, as a man OF
honor, he will DO bound TO adhere 10 the
policy therein forshadowed. As one of
che most sincere advocates Of peace, a.
cue who believed that war was disunion.
rs one who hn,;.'ss mat reunion is posi-
ure even now if war was abandoned and
in its stead wise measures of a peaceful
character adopted, we cauuot hesitate fol
one moment as to our duty in the present
emergency. 1t is to yield hearty ant
cordial support to the Chicago candidates
and platform; and we hope ana trust .hn
every man, whether Republican or Demo
crat, who thinks as we do, will do like
wise. The first object in the great work
of restoring peace and Union is TO get rid
of LINCOLN. This done, all the rest are
sure TO follow If the country is in the
hands Of the Democracy, which must b.
The case if Gen. McCLELLAN is elected.

The Groans cf the DYING.

The JacOJin organ of this place devoted
over two columns Of its last issue to the
Chicago Convention, snd its members,
without making single argumentative
effort TO show that what was done at CHI
cago was wrong. The articles are full of
mean and contemplate lalsehoods and
SANDERS, both as to individuals and meas
ures-plainly indicating their author to
be the notorious squiut-eyed member OF
the Jacobin j,tltt Of this place, whose foul
tongue and pen are never so much at ease
as when trying to bring others down to
his own criminal eyel-whose biography
did not appear IN our paper about one year
$50 but which is in course OF preparation,
and many appear at an early day.
As q review Of what was done a. Chica-
30, lie makes no pTetensions. The only
visible purpose of all this motley collect
ion Of words, is TO throw dust in the eyes Of
the reader, in order, ifpossible, to prevent
him from fully comprehending the nigh
ty work which was so successfully accom-
hlished at Chicago For the last three
years public opinion has been suppressed
/ The voice of freemen has not been heard
y vile military despotism awed the people
into silence. At Chicago the representa-
tlves of cons stituency numbering over II
teen hluldred thousand votes met, delbera
ted, spoke, resolved. Mr.. Lincoln, and
usurpers everywhere, were there told that
the spirit ofliberty still lived, and tha q
"Iepetition" of certain acts of the present
Administration would "Js held us REvoLU
rIoNARY, and ,oould be RESISTED 1ih all III,
means and poger undcr their control" Thes,
are among the things that Mr.. Lincoln
was told by this Convention. Oar neigh
Dor may succeed in hiding them from his
readers; but he cannot conceal them from
Mr. Lincoln and the leaders of his party
