Tho Mcclellan Trick.

FERNANDO WooD, 10 a speech which
is published in the New York News, thus
brazenly declared the deliberate trick
played by McCLELLAN's nomination:
Its (the Chicago Convention's) nomi-
nee aud its platform we're apparently in
consistent with each other, anil yet, for
paramount reasons connected ,oith success
IL deemed such a contradictory position
recoact'able 'Otth good policy.
This FERNANDO WooD is not a man
Of high moral character. The statute
Of Limitations was pleaded to save him
from acriminal conviction as a swindler
But he here exposes baser sWindle pre-.
meditated by the whole Dem ocratic
gang at Chicago. The peace aud sepa-
ration party, admittiugthat success on
their principles was hopeless, resolved
to deceive the people by the semi blance
of war candidate. The managers Of
the Democratic party from the whole
United States-those in the rebellion
who could not attend assisting by their
counsel-met and planned to cheat the
people out of their suffrages in order
to destroy the nation. The crimes for
which State prisons are erected, are
made the policy and principles of the
Democratic party for the government
of the country. Society is to be over
turned. Honesty aud truth are to be
sutjugated, and rascality is to take
possession of government.
II has been stated by a prominent
Democratic journal, on the authority of
a prominent Democratic politician, aud
has not been contrsdicted, that the
Chicago cessation platform was shown
to General MCCLELLAN before the Con.
vention met, and was approved by him.
This statement on high Democratic an
thority, and without Democratic denial,
must be accepted as true. 1t shows that
this person dishonored the name of a
soldier by conspiring in this political
trick, as be has before disgraced it by
his unfaithfulness and incapaci'y. II
shows that his simulated war letter was
part of tho original conspiracy, by
which the submissive peace party was
fraudulently brought into the control
of the Government. 1t shows dis.
honorable soldier and political swim.

Attenuation in the Clergy.

he steers round it, one would suppose
that its utterance was ban. Your
consort,' companion, the partner of
your joys or Sorrows, or bosom, is
recognised, but nobody ever prays for
your wife Why is it not Just as we'll
10 say that Mr.. A. will preach in the
afternoon, as in the after part of the
day2' Why not say that the man whose
life you are sketching was married at q
certain age, rather than that he entered
into the marriage reletionT Why in
the pulpit shall we not hear our own
tongue in which We were born2 If
dignity can not stand Anglo-SAxon, so
much tho worse for dignity. Good,
common, honest, racy, idiomatic words
and phrases are not only the strongest,
but often the most eloquent. The cum
brous euphouisms of pulpit patOis are
neither pleasant to the taste, nor good

tTrom the Cincinnati Enquirer, April 49, 1851
The Southern army commenced the
attack upon Fort Sumter, and before
any hostile omonstration had been
made upon them. They broke the stat
US quo which has so long prevailed,
and upon them clearly rests the imme-
date responsibility for the bloody strife
which has been inaugurated. They are
the aggressors in arst breaking the
peace, and will receive the indignant
condemnation Of every patriot. The
onus of fault they can not shake off,
