considered the uncertainty Of life, and the
fact that in case Mcclellan should bow TO our
common lot, the effete mass of decomposi-
ton before referred to- would be endowed
with new life and possess the power which it
would inevitably use, of dragging this coun-
try into the mire of the lowest debasement
under the cry of peace when none could
possibly exist, except b. such degradation.
"Aessrs. Lincoln and johnson, in contra
distinction to the foregoing candidates, pre-
sent uniformity of interests, of feelings, and
Of views; we can, therefore, hope to have a
mouse not divided in itself. The public life
of both has been unsparingly criticised, and,
l think, with no disadvantage to them; and
their policy as laid down in their platform is
clear, bold and positive. grasping the tremen-
dous evil of disunion with a firm grip, not
permitting finger to loosen till the unclean
thing is utterly destroyed. Finally, their pol
icy is that which, and only which, could, as
a Union soldier, consistently entertain"

FORTY MILLION SEVEN TH1Rr1Es sUBscR1REr

FORTY MILLION SEyEN-THIRT1Es SUBSCRIBED.
The subscriptions to this popular loan are
now over forty million dollars, and they con-
tinue to come in at the rate of about a mil
lion a day. The public are satisfied that
there are no other investments so profitable
as Z. S. securities. While nearly all the
hundreds of miscellaneous stocks sold in the
New York market have been declining for
several weeks lin many instances twenty-five
per cent?, Government stocks have remained
firm; and while lenders loan very sparingly,
and at high rates, on the best mercantile pa
per, they have plenty of money to lend on
Government paper, at as low rates as ever.
While the Government needs the peoples
money, and pays for it literally, it offers the
highest possible consideration besides, and
that is, safety.

Copperhead Peace Platform
Adopted at Chicago, August 3Oth, 1864.

l. That in the future, as IN the past, we
will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union
under the Constit ution, the only solid founda-
tiou of our strength, security ana happiness as a
people, and as a framework of government equal
ly conducive TO the welfare and prosperity OF all
the States, both Northern and Southern.
2. That this Convention does explicitly de-
clare, as the sense of the American people, that
after four years of failure to restore the Union by
the experiment of war, during which, under the
preteuce of military necessity, a power
higher than the Constitution, the Constitution it.
self has been disregarded in every part, and public
liberty and private right alike trodden down, and
the material prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the
public welfare demand that immediate efforts
be made for cessation of hostilities, with view
to an ultimate convention OF the States or other
peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment, peace may be restored on the
bass of the Federal Union OF States.
3. That the direct interference of the mil
itary authorities of the United States in the re-
cent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware shameful violation OF the
Constitution, and a repetition of such acts in
the approaching election will be held as revolution
airy and resisted with all the means and power
der our control.
4. That the aim and object of the Demo
cratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and
the rights of the States unimpared, and they here
by declare that they consider the Adminst rative
usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers
not granted by the Constitutions the subverson
of the civil by military law in States not in insur
rection; the arbitrary military arrest, imprison-
ment, trial and sentence of American citizens in
ates where civil Jaw exists in full force; the sup
preston of the freedom of speech and of the press
the denial of the right Of asylum; the pen and
aVowed disregard of State rights; the employment
of unusual test oaths, he interior re with and
denial Of the right Of the people TO bear arms in
their defence, as calculated to prevent restcra-
ton OF the Union and the perpetuation of govern
meot deriving its just powers from the consent of
the governed.
5. That the shameful disregard of the Ad-
ministration to its duty in respect to fellow
citizens, who now and long have been prisoners of
war IN a suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprobation on the score alike OF public policy and
common humanity.
q. That the sympathy of the Demo cratic par
ty is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
dlery OF our army, who now and have been in
the fed under the flag of their country, an in the
event OF its attaining power they will receive all the
care, protection and regard that the brave soldiers
of the Republic have so nobly earned.

- Gold is reported to be entirely out OF
the Richmond market. SHERIDAN's first vic
tory sent it up to an unprecedented height ;
his second raised it still higher, one dollar in
gold being held by the brokers as equivalent
to thirty dollars in rebel paper On Thurs
day week they decided to withdraw coin from
the market, having decided that there was no
longer any comparative valne between it and
paper. Three cents is the present value at
Richmond of dollar note-scarceIy enough
to pay the cost of engraving and printing.
When JAMES BUCHANAN was nomina-
ted for President by the Democratic conven-
ton he did what Gen. MCCLELLAN has done :
that is to say, he wrote letter that might be
construed by loyal Northern Free State men
as an Endorsement of their views. When
elected, he became the agent and slave of
the leaders Of the rebellion. Shall we give
GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN an opportunity of be-
traying us like his predecessor

ITALY.-The London Morning Post confirms
the reported new treaty between France and
Italy, and believes itself justified in announc-
ing that convention is signed for the with
drawal of French troops from Rome. The
principal points are: that the French forces
shall gradually withdraw within two years
that the king of Italy shall undertake to pre-
serve inviolate the possessions of the church
as at present defined, and guarantee not to
countenance or assist the Vaccinations of
what is termed the party of action in Italy,
and the capital shall be removed to Florence.

The Charleston Courier tells US, as follows:
of ags hold oar ou7,, and prevent further
military successes on the part of our foes,
there is every prospect that Mcclellan will be
elected, and his election upon the Chicago plat
form must lead to peace and oar Independence"
As they do not appear to hold their own,
and as GRANT and SHERMAN and SHERIDAN
and MEADE and FARRAGUT have an obstinate
way of achieving successes, there IS no pros
pect that MCCLELLAN will be elected, and
therefore Southern independence will not be
secured.
