THE UNION AND TIKI DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORMS CONTWAATED.

l. The Union Platform afiirms the duty OF
maintaining the integrity of the Union and the
paramount authority of its Constitution and
laws The Democratic pledges answering
fidelity" TO the Union, but is silent IA to the
duty aforesaid.
III. Tho Union Platform treats the Rebellion
as ,crong-as wicked and unjustifable-and de-
mands its complete suppression. 1t does not
propose to buy Peace, but to make one, by
constra aiming the Rebels TO submit to lawful au-
thority and depOrt themselves hereafter like law
abiding citizens. The Democratic Platform no.
where condemns the Rebellion, even by impli-
cation, but gather condemns those who have
striven TO suLduc it.
H. The Union Platform exhorts the Govern
mcnt to prosecute the War vigorously till the
Rebellion shall be suppresSed-no further. The
Democratic Platform points significantly to the
fact that the Rebellion has not yet been sup
pressed. deducng therefrom the conclusion that
it was mistake to attempt resisting Rebel
force by force.
". The Union Platform afIirlnS thai as Slavery
was the cause and now constitutes the strength
of the Rebellion, it ought, in the interest Of
public tranquility and safety, to be abolished
and prohibited The Democratic Platform says
nothing of the sort, but plainly implies and in
tends that Slavery shall be preserved and per
pctuated.
Y. The Union Platform holds it right that
Black as well as White men should fight for the
preservation of the Union, and be protected by
the Government in so doing. The Democratic
& silent on this point but, since it wishes the
war stopped anyhow, it oil course doesn't want
"niggers to fight in it.
vi. The Union Platform returns the thanks
of the American people to the soldiers and
sailors who have fought for their country, and
promises ample provision for those who have
been OF may be disabled in her service. The
Democratic Platform proffers them sympathy
and protection. but never intimates that they
have been and are fighting in a righteous and
holy cause.
VII. The Democratic Platform blamcs Pres
iaent Lincoln and his Cabinet for almost every
thing they have done in resistance 10 the Rebel
lion. but bames the Rebels for nothing. Even
the crucltics of the Rebel authorities, in causing
our captured brethren TO be exposed, for weary
months. unsheltercd, TO the burning suns and
drenching storms of Georgia, feeding them on
twelve ounces ofcorn meal and two of prtrid pork
per day, il charged against our own Government,
without a hint that the Rebels have done any
thing wrong in the premises.
in short, if Mr. JEFF. Davis had been plat
form-maker for the Chicago Convention, he'
could not have treated himself more tenderly
nor his enterprise more gingerly than they have
been in the actual Platform.

That Gen. Mcclellan cherished feelings of
personal respect and liking for the Rebel leaders
has been well understood before Row. Here is
an apt piece oftestmony to that effect from
Col. MErcALF, OF Kentucky, VINO said recently
at public meeting:

the Rebellion crushed

MCCLELLAN AND DIXIE.
TIE Richmond Dispatch, in June, 1862, hadthe
blowing editorial statement:
A MILITARY ADVENTURE.


following editorial statement:

The above was copied into The TRIBUNE Of

the loyal States. Did Gen. Mcclellan ever
authorize denial of its main allcgationl We
never saw any. The challenge and threat of
The Dispatch certainly required some sort of
notice. If any was ever taken, the fact has
escaped our observation.
The Richmond Whig copied the above, and
added:
AFTER the battle Of Rich Mountain. both Mcclellan
and Rosecrans declared 10 Confederate officers. who

OF course, we receive these statements with
considerable allowance. What was said to the
captive Rebel officers was probably to this Ell
fect-that being Democrats, and hostile TO Abo
ltion, they would have preferred to put down
any antiSlavery rebellion in the East rather than
a pro-Slayery one at the South. 1t was, though
not reasonable, an improper remark under the
circumstances for it tended to mislead the Rebels
into belief that our Army officers were at
heart on their side.

the most of McClelan's letter to ga distinguish

and that it was impelled by sympathy for the
shareholders, even though in rebellion, We have
no manner of doubt. Nor can we doubt that il

rushing into, they would have the effective SYM

On the Chicago Surrender.

What spike ell our guns when the foe is at bay
And the rags Of his black banner dropping swayi
Tear down the strong name that our nation has won
And strike her brave bird from his home in the sunf
He's coward who shrnks from the lift OF the

He's traitor who mocks at the sacrifice poured
Nameless and homeless the doom that should

But he who submits when the thunders have burst
And victory dawns, is of towards the worst
Is the old spirit dead Are we broken and weak.
That crayens so shamelessly lift the white check
To court the swift insult, nor blush at the blow,
The tools of the Treason and friends of the foe!
See Anarchy smiles at the Peace which they ssk,
And the eyes OF Disunion flash out through tho
mask!
Give thanks, we brave boys, who by vac aud by crag
Bear onward, unfaltering, our noble old flag
Strong arms of the Union heroes living and dead,
For the blood of your valor is uselessy shed
No soldiers green laurel is promised you here.
But the white rag of sympathy" softly shall checrf

dismembered parts into one nationality. Before
the establishment of the Kingdom Of Italy. none
of the Italian States were of importance; now
the united country is the fifth power OF
Europe. Her recent history has thus become
for all Nations, an instructive example of the
Importance of preserving National unity. 1t is
especially so for US. If the people Of the
United States preserve their Nationality, no
one doubts that they will be- for all time to come,
one of the first nations Of the world. If, on
the other hand sovereignty shall exist, as in

eracy, only in the separate States, nothing
can save them from the Impotence of the Ital'
ian States before their Union.

HATE or rEW-RNGLAND.
Tie Hartford Times has letter from its ed


at Chicago, which says:
"Thcre Is throughout the West widespread and
growing feeling Of dislike toward New England. 1
find this feeling to be bitter and that it Is not coDhned
any party but is largely shared In by Western re
pubcans rs we'll no Democrats The feeling that 70
New England fanatcsm the country is largely Indebted
for this oasmitous war. and that Eastern men nave
been getting undue share OF its profits while lhe
West has sustained tho conflict with its blood and treas
ure Is more generally entertained and freely expressed
than is pleasant for me to hear: In this sweeping con-
demnation there is liability that but little justice VIII
be done TO those in the Eastern States who have never
counienanced fansticism. but have suffered from Its
prosecutions. IT, by any unpropitious fate. Lincoln
should DO reelected and the South gain separate indie
pendcncc there is but little hope that the west W0uid
consent to remain with New Englsud.'
The Times bears false witness in asserting
that this mean jealousy and detestaton OF
New-England are shared by the Republicans of
the West 1t is Democratic sentiment, based
on devotion TO Slavery and hatred OF common
schools, popular lectures, and other means OF
enlghtening and elevating the masses. Find
dcnounccr of New-England where you will,
and you may safely bet that he is Copperhead,
even though no should, for effect. pretend not to
be. And why shouldn't those who support laws
which make teaching the humble crime, hate
a region that produces schoolmasters for ex-
poration II is natural as life.
The Times knows thoroughly the falsehood pf
the pretenses that Eastern men are getting an
undue share Of profits" &c, &c. 1t knows
that half the factories Of New-England have
been closed for months, owing to the scarcity
and high price Of cotton. II knows that the
Republican party was developed and organized
at tho West, months before it had been heard Of
at the East. Ii knows that the Republicans OF
New.England arc now supporting Western cam
didates for President and Vice-President. 1t
knows that the threats that the West WILL in
any contingency, sever her connection with the
East, are uttered only by men who want to
take the West into tho JEFF. Davis Confederacy.
That is tho real and only impulse of their camor
against New-Englsnd.
Mr.. Lincoln was elected by the solid vote Of
the Free West, and will be reelected by the
same. If that section turns against him, he will
be defeated if not, he will be reelected; and
the Copperhead minority will not initiate their
Southern brethren by getting up fresh Rebel
lion. They are good deal too prudent to try it

Further illustration of the chivalry" Of the
South is supplied by Admiral Farragut's official
report of the surrender Of Fort Morgan, this
morning printed. Seen. Page and his officers, v
says the Admiral, with a childish spite, de-
stroyed guns which they said they would defend
to the last, but which they never defended at
all, and threw away or broke those weapons
which they had not the manliness to use against
their enemies, for Fort Morgan never fired a
gun after the commencement Of the lombard
ment. and the advance pickets of our army were
actually on its glacis."

The Chicago correspondent of the Cincinnati

the Democrats who attended the Convention:
But the saddest thing IN all this political talk was
the evident delight OF our military failures do not

this Rebellion can be put down by party and by no
effort that stops short of embracing tho People OF the
North know how fully IL admitting that the END OF
these troublesome times not yet In sight but thcre
could DO no mstakng the tone Of exutaton In which
the invason Of the North and the seige OF the Capital
in the fourth year Of the paraded and Grants
asnking operations laughed st and the ability OF
jeff Davis was exultantly eulogizcd."
Let every Union mon ask himself if in his own
experience it is not true that his Copperhead
acquaintance talk in just that way. Do they
not affect to disbeleye successor our side, be-
little our neutrality-suspicious. of course ex-
ceptcd-and extol the Rebels. Did you ever
hear Copperhead rejoice heartily over our
great Victories Vickaurg, Chattanooga, Mo

Now We believe the people Of the North do
mean that the Union shall survive by the over
throw of the Rebellion. The Chicago platform
aud candidates do not mean it,and there is hence
between them and the people an irreconcilable,
fundamental difference, and the people will IL
nally show il at the polls.

There is an error regarding the time of the
draft, as follows:-The Presidents proclamation
says after the 9th Of September the drait is to
commence in places where the quota is not
filled; counting correctly fifty days from the
date of the proclamation, which was July Is.
The official edition of the Laws of Congress,
however, says sixty (not fifly) days. So If that
be followed, the 10th of this month will BIO
substituted for the 9th. The immediate atten-
ton of the Administration will, no doubt, be
given to this matter.

We learn that Gen. Mcclellan declares pri-
yatey among his friends that he cannot and will
not endorse the Peace platform constructed for
him at Chicago. What is the use of such hum
bugl He is nominated on that platform; he
was nominated after that platform had been
adopted with but few dissenting votes, and those
mostly of men who wished it made more abject
than it is: and he would not have been nomina-
ted if it had been understood that he would not
accept that platform. The candidates and the
platform are indysible the principles are of far
more consequence than the men. 1t speaks
well for Gen NJ. 5 West Point training that he
is ashamed of his company; but this amounts
to nothing unless he tramples the vile thing un-
