THE CHICAGO NOMINEES.

The Democratic Convention at Chicago
has chosen General George B. Mcclellan,
for President, and George H. PendIeton, Of
Ohio, for Vice President. We confess that
the nomination Of General Mcclellan was
unexpected by us, as we had supposed that
Willard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, or Thos
II. Seymour, would be more acceptable as
nominees to the democracy of the Middle
and Northwestern States. Our own first
choice was for that gallant true Democrat
Thomas ii Seymour, of Connecticut, and it
would have afforded US sincere qualification
to announce him as the chosen standard
bearer of the party. But the representatives
of the great Democratic party, gathered to-
gether from the Atlantic to the shores Of the
Pacti, many Of them the most able and dis
tnguished men of the land, and all actualed
by the one desire to restore our distracted
country to peace and prosperity, determin ed
that George b. Mcclellan was the man for
the occasion, and the one to whom the peo.
pie would rally with confidence and enthu-
sasm-and to that decision we give our
most cheerful and hearty support
Never, upon the American continent was
more noble spectacle witnessed than that
displayed at Chicago the present week,
where assembled te0s of thousands of men,
determined to lay aside personal pre- ferences,
individual ambitions, and party differences,
and act alone for the good Of the nation in
It's hour of dire distress Country, not self,
seemed to be the moving impulse with the
delegates selected to present candidates and
a platform of principles-and well have they
accomplished this work.
What ever might have been the hopes of
our opponents that discord would prevail.
they have been completely disappointed-
The Convention felt that the issues were too
momentous to admit Of personal and party
JeaIousies and engaged in spirit of compro
mise and harmony, in preparing platform
and presenting candidates for the suifrages
of the nation.
The platform is admirable, and Just what
was to be expected from Democratic Con.
venton. 1t takes the Constitution as the
guide, AMI demands the preservation and
cred instrument. 1t gives voice to the
warnings for peace that is now being felt
throughout the land, and points out the only
mode by which fraternity and union can
again be brought about. 1t is peace plat
form and upon it they have placed candidates
who can bring about, what all profess to de.
sire IAN honorable peace
The nominations will strike the right chord
in the great popular popular heart and their
names will be the inscription of Victory
upon the banners Of the Democratic host in
its trumphaI march to the balIot-box in No,
vember.
