A PICTURE.

Mcclellan says that he would uso every
means known to diplomacy TO terminate the
war peacefully at once, but on no account
would acknowledge more than one govern
ment in the Union.
The rebels constantly declare that they
are determined on independence, and will
listen to no terms of peace unless they are
based on that.
Mcclellan says that in case of such nego
tiatons, he would continue the war.
The Administration, having ascertained
the condition of things long ago precisely
as Mcclellan would find it after wasting
months in negotiation, goes on with the
war.
Mcclellan says that the war should be
prosecuted solely for the restoration OF the
Union, and that should be the only condition
ofpeace.
The rebels say that they would sooner sur.
render their slaves than give up their indie
pendent confederacyi hence in trying TO
change the war to contest for the Union
with slavery Mcclellan struggles for an in.
possibility.
Mcclellan offers to guarantee State rights
to the rebel States if they would return to
their allegiance.
But the rebel States have less rights
under JEFF. Davis than they ever had with
us, and so Mcclellan wants a Union in which
these slavs oligarcha would have more power
than they ask for or ever had.
Thus Mcclellan offers negotiation which
would be frnitless, to avoid war which is
inevitable and unavoidable; restoration of
the Union on impracticablc terms; the pre-
seryation of slavery, which even the rebels
do not hope for; State rights, which tho
rebels have cast of and repudisted !; and all
merely to enable the Democratic party to
regain power. rf

EDWIN NJ STANTON, Secretary of War We
ought to have the entire number Of men
called for by the President in the shortest
possible time. Prompt action in filling oui
armies will have more effect upon the enenly
than victory over them.
They profess to believe and make iheir
men believe there is such party North in
favor of recognizing Southern independenco
that the draft cannot be enforced. Let
them be undeceived. Deserters come into
our lines daily, who tell us that the men are
nearly universally tired of the war, and that
desertions would be much more frequent
but they believe peace will be negotiated
after The fall election.
The enforcement Of the draft and prompt
filling up Of our armies will save the shed

GEN. LEWIS CAss, the old war horse of
democracy, rePudiates the Chicago platform
and declares that it is most ignominious
surrender to the rebels. He cannot support
it. Honest democrats of Delaware follow

The ORGANS of the Copperheads have all
along been trying to persuade the people
that the south could not be conquered and
the rebellion put down, and urged them to
make peace at any price. Now, they have
deserted their old friends, and declare the
preservation of the Union to be the only
condition of peace. The ruse will not sue
eeed. The sleeps clothing they have as
sumed to hide the wolf, is too transparent,
and the monster is still visible. They must
try some other dodge to deceive the masses
