The Chicago Platform OF 1864, an
UnGOndittOnaI adoption OF 1t by
George b. Mcclellan.
To another cat, hitherto the most willy of
them all, in wearing the disguise, stands re.
Vealed to all in his true. character. He has
adopted the secession platform in each and
every part. 1t is vain to suppose that he
really means by the sweet sounding gener-
alities and frequent professions of devotion
| to the national government and other stale
and threadbare expressions of bunku8, con-
tanned in his letter of aoceptance-thRth he
intends or desires to change it. He no
where intiEEGtes such a tOish. But in the sum-
ming up paragraph and the closing, except
the expression of his realization of the re-
| sPonsibilities that await him, if elected, and
his appeal to the Ruler Of the universe to
help him-a very remote contingency for
| Divine help-he uses this language: "Be.
lieving that the views have expressed are
those of the Convention" Ito wit: VGllan-
| digham, Woods, Seymour, Marshal Kane,
Pendleton, Cox, WORTHLESS aud Company
"and the people you represent" (that is, all
| armed rebels and their aiders and sympR-
thiEers in this county and in Europe,) "I
accept the nomination." The Commit.
tee presented him the platform with the
notice of nomination, so of course he had
ljust read that, aud must have known it to be
the embodiment of the views of the ConVen-
ton. We observe On the same day he was
waited on by August Belmont (a,name that
smacks of dignities and titles, who is the
| agent of the Rothschilds and Louis Napo-
leon in this country, and charged with &C.
complishing through their money, what the
rebels have failed to do by arms. Dean
Richmond, his (Belmouts) chief of staff, and
a Peter Caggar, who if the one we once
knew, cheats the Penitentiary, if not a
worse place, out of it's dues every hour he
is at large. There is no safer rule, especi-
Tally in these times, than to judge men by
the company they keep.
This is the denouement of "little Mac"
so long suspected by his countrymen. 1t
establishes the truth of reports of his re-
| peated intercourse with Rebel leaders be.

as complete justification to the admins
tration for laying him on the shelf.
And this is the Democratic party of 1864,
it's platform and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and 4Rendieton, who has been the open and
GVoEUed co -G0orker Nth VaElandighGRl in the
service of the Rebellion since it begun.
Suppose the old hero and patriot who
founded the party should wake and come
forth from the Hermitage, would he not
exclaim, with all the energy and patriotic
| indignation which used to characterize him
when traitors mensced the Government,
aye have made my house den of Traitors,
and by the great Eternal if you don't leave
the country pll hang you as high as Ha-
mani" Aye, he would do it too, and very
soon Danish from ''little Mac'sp dreams the
nervous responsibilities he sees awaiting
him, and make him invoke heaven to for
give and save his own trsitorous soul,
rather than help him to destroy the Gov
ernment Would to God we had Gener-
al jackson
But the damnable scheme has become
too much exposed to meet with support
from our loyal people, The severe exper-
fence and sacrifice they have undergone
the last four years has too much awakened
them to bold and independent thought and
action to be now cajoled, or reduced by
such transparent folly and knavery, as a
cessation of hostilities" and withdrawal
of our army and navy just as a complete
victory is at hand, over defiant and un-
repeutant foe. The land OF Ethan Allen
has spoken aud soon the people of the
otherS States will speak in like manner, only
louder. Sherman and Atlanta have spo-
ken, aud Grant, Petersburg and Richmond
will soon speak in still holder tones, and
in November, loyal hearts everywhere will
speak in voice more discom6ting to little
Mac and his pandemonium, than even the
ghost of the old hero and founder of the
party would be.
Let the loyal people stick fast to "h0neSt
Old Abe" and let him only put in the blows
heavier and faster;a save aud protect the
friends to the Government, though it has
to be done at the sacrifice of its enemies
and all will be well, and he will be re-.
elected by the largest majority ever known.

If the draft be necessary to bring them, the
Administration should at once apply it,
without fear or favor regardless of all
threats. and meet the consequences. THIS
the true genius and safety of the govern.
ment and true loyalty everyw here, de-
mand at its hands. Ifitfails or fslters, all
may be lost. ..
LOYAL STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA.

P. s. We believe the leading rebels have
given up all hopes of establishing sepa-
rate Oonfederacy by the present efforts,
and are directing their energies to secure
he next best thing in their view, viz: A
Confederation of all the States which will
carry with it right in each State to Sc
cede at pleasure. And under this new
arrangement, JEFF. Davis is to be the Cap.
tain or he will secede and set up for him
self. This is the kind of Union "Little
Mac" the Convention and rebel leaders
are at work for now. Eli.
