the defeat Of the election Of Abraham
Lincoln. .
That is to SAT, they proposed to
eject Abraham Lincoln from the Pres
idential chair at Washington on the
4th Of March next, and at the same
time leave the usurper Davis unassail-
ed, secure, and ubmoiested in his seat
at Richmond, with q view to an ulti-
mate Convention Of States, which that
usurpers Constitution will allow no ono
of the insurgeDt States 10 enter. What
now. if there be no convention at all,
or if the convention fail to agree on
submission to the Federal authority?
Jefferson Davis then remains in author
ity, his confcderacy established, and
the Union with all its glorics is gone
forever Nay more, if such thing
could happen as that, the Chicago
candidate, nominated upon such an
agreement, should be elected Presi-
dent of the United States on the first
Tuesday Of November next, who can
vouch for the safety of the country
against the rebels during the interval
which must elapse before the new Ad-
ministratlon can constitutionally y come
into power? 1t seems to me that such
an election would tend equally to de-
moralize the Union and to invite the
insurgents to renew their effol ts for its
destruction.
THE COMPACT APPROVED.
1tremains for me now only to give
you the proof, that although the way
in which the Chicago Democracy did
what had been agreed upon in their
behalf at Niagara, was not altogether
satisfactory, yet what they actually
did, was accepted as full execution
Of the previous compact Mr.. Seward
here read the following intercepted
dispatch from George Sanders:
ST. GATHERINGS, G. W., Sept. /.
To Hon. Wier, HalyaG:
Platform and Presidential nominee
unsatisfactory. Vice-President and
speeches satisfactory. Tell Fillmore
not to oppose.

D. Wier is Richmond accomplicc
at Halifax, and Fillmore is understood
to be the conductor Of the insurgent
organ in London.
Here, then, we have q nomination
and platform which were made by
treaty formally contracted between the
Democratic traitors at Richmond and
the Democratic opposition at Chicago.

Of AMAXIM.
l. There is a maxim which thought
ful teachers always inculcate. 1t
&c that Inconsistency is imbecility, an
- that perseverance is necessary to in
sure success. This maxim was sc
al al forth in the form Of a copy in the VIZ
al " ting book when l was young "Perst
10 10 verance always conquers." Even in

u. struction in the form Of fable in Wei

down from the tree, and made him as
