SCHEME OF THE CHICAGO CONvEN-
TON EXPOSED!
ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS !

Reader voter citizen of the great Republic
of America this is our last appearance before
the great contest which is shortly to take place
at the balot-box, and it becomes our duty as a
public journalist to make final appeal to you
in behalf the cause to which we are, and ever
intend to be, earnestly devoted. We shall be
brief You are told by the Democratic rulers
of this county that if Abraham Lincoln is re-
elected civil war in the North will follow. Let
this be your firm reply to all such twaddle: If
there are Union votes enough in the North to re-
elect Abraham Lincoln, there UNION BAY
ONETS ENOUGH TO CRUSH ANY DEMON
STRATION WHICH TRAITORS MAY MAKE -
Remember that the threat comes from the party
which Southern rebels on the battlefield desire
to see victorious. Remember that the great In
ion party of the North has never threatened
that in the event of defeat your homes should be
laid waste, your property destroyed and your
lives pay the forfeit. 1t is the great Democratic
party which does this thing that party asks for
your votes ; after while it will ask you
to lend a hand in the work of rapine and blood.
As conclusive evidence of the truth of our as
sertions present for your candid considera-
ton the following letter. 1t was written by }.
S. Berry, late of Orovlle, and one of the Demo-
cratic delegates from this State to the Chicago
Convention, which placed George d. Mcclellan
III IL WIS WTllttH ~ y. ID l'HiASiI
of Oroville, who deemed it solemn duty to
lay it before the people of this State Here tits
New YORK, Sept. Is, 1864.
DEAR BARKER: When left the fair shores of
the Pacific | little expected to have been absent
so long but the duties devolving upon me as
servant of the cause of true Democracy (alias
Secessa) made it incumbent upon me to remain
on this side until the " turning out y of Old Abe
from the White House. Don't infer from the
.l,,tT
ted as TO think for moment that the Chickahom-
my Grave Digger will beat Lincoln for the Pres
idency. Far from it. But what do mean is
this By the aid of q greenbacks, military
orders, the army vote and fine counting the re-
suit will be declared against % Little Mac " in
the Electoral College. What mean though is
this That there will be the prettiest little fight
for the succession that has ever been witnessed
in ancient or modern times. Lincolns election
will not be on the square, but will be accom-
plished by agencies utterly subversive of the
elective franchise. Nevertheless, whether SUBJ
stantially fair or not, there will be sufficient IT.
Irregularities to afford pretext to the - unterri-
fed " to claim that it is unfair, and then comes
the - tug of war. tell you, Barber, war for
the succession is the air, on all sides, and is as
sure to follow the election Of Lincoln as the Sc
cesson of the South followed his first election.
! only speak the situation, not that desire it
should be Now it must be apparent that the
advantages of the new phase of battle will be
against your side, when you take into consider
alton that the natural law Of the situation will
make the rebels our allies and again, Mcclellan
on the issue will divide the army. The soldiers
are now for him, if they had their way and
under the almost certainty of Mcclellan 5 success
against Lincoln on the issue have alluded to,
officers and soldiers by regiments will come to
him. 1t will be much Ike Napoleon's return
from Elba therefore hold that lAbe's hold on
the iugular vain of % public pap " is limited.
The States of Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio will inaugurate the contest,
declaring Mcclellan the lawful President. New
York city will respond and soon New Jersey and
all New York and Pennsylvania will join in the
movement There is one thing that may save
that catastrophe in case . our stumpers" down
in Georgia. mean Hood & Co., you know-and
Lee and Early in Virginia should brush up and
turn the tide right sharply against Grant. Shcri-
dan and Sherman, - Mac - would he elected in
spite Of fate, and would quietly take possession
of the portfolio of State. don't, however, cx
pcct that such will be the case.
