THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The great event which has occupied the minds
of number of newspaper editors, and for which
they have been so long endeavoring to smooth
the way, has at last transpired. The Conven-
ton has nominated Geo. b. Mcclellan instead
of Horatio Seymour, Vallandingham, Fernando
Wood, or any of the so-called apostles of peace.
In the platform of resolutions adopted by the
Convention the present administration is charged
with disreoarding the Constitution in every part.
The principal points in which the adminiStra-
ton are guilty, according TO the papers which
are the organs OF the originators Of this Con-
vention, are the Emancipation proclamation,
employment of colorcd men soldiers, pro-
claiming martial law, arbitrary arrests, sup
preston of the freedom of speech, the press and
Suffrage and the requirement of unusual test
oaths The first infringement of the Constitu-
ton is the Emancipation Proclamation but
the President, in issuing this, merely carried
into practical operation the Con6scation act of
Congress- in which the property of traitors is to
be condemned and sold for the benefit of the
government. 1t is not very easy to see how
this is unconstitutional, for the Constitution
says that Congress shall have power to declare
the punishment of treason" and accordingly
the confscation act was passed declaring the
forfeiture of property during the life of traitors.
If it is right, proper and constitutional to con-
yict man of stealing it is also proper to carry
the sentence into effect. So if it was right for
Congress to pass the Con6scation act land we
have met with no one who has had the hardi-
hood to deny it, since the authority for such act
is so unequivocally laid down in the Consitu-
ton it is also right to put the action into force
The President is the chief executive officer in our
government, and it would be a mere farce for
the legislative branch of the Government to pass
an act and then the executive allow it to remain
a dead letter Another fact to be remembered
in this connection is that negroes have been and
are now considered by the South as property,

months in Fort Lafayette The Atlas and
Argus, Governor Seymour's organ most bitter
" denounced this arrest as arbitrary and I'M
constitutional and entirely unnecessary, and
Gov Seymour then candidate for the office OF
governor araigned the government for pro-
claiming martial law where there was no rebel
lion If the government had not intertered
there would have been civil war, aud with the
rebels in arms and prepared for the contest the
distinction of the union would have been certain
But the government were guilty of arbitrary
and unconstitutional conduct because they did
not wait until a rebellion and civil war were
inaugurated and then when it would be TOO
late to save the country, proclaim martial law.
Wait until man knocks you down. and then
when you are PROSTATE and helpless, believe
that he meant to assail you, and tell him you
will punish him. In several Of the states some
Of the civil officers were aiders and abettors Of
treason In Ohio, Illinois and Indiana we be-
lieye the sale of arms and ammunition has been
prohibited for sixty days The reason is, that
men have been counseling armed resistance to
the draft. A number of pistols, with ammuni-
"a
order of the Governor Of Indiana aud we I'M
derstand that Iag9e quantities have been dis
tributcd heretofore and many more would have
been sent on. These false copperhead leaders
have been attempting 10 deceive the people with
the plea that their stale rights are in danger.-
In view of the condition of affairs in 1861 and
the recent developments, we rejoice in such UNI
who denounced this course and talk of peace and
armiSticcs in the lan"naee of Patrick Henry,
- Shall we lie supnely our backs and hug
the delusiye phantom of hope until it shall have
bound us hand and foot|' Though these men
say that the government is guilty Of corrup-
ton usurping powers not granted by the Con-
stituUon and by arbitrary arrests and suppress
ion of free speech and the press, is about to COM
mence a reign Of terror, yet it seems theY have
nominated = man who first advocated draft
believed in martial law, aud actually arrested
the legislature of q state by his own authority as
military commander. They have then conclud-
ed to support man guilty of the cuormitics for
which they propose to remove Lincoln from
power, or else they believe that AeeGl}ellaa has
seen the error of his ways and has become a
genuine peace man. They would be more hon
est and consistent if they would take the position
of one of the Indiana copperheads He asserted
that we have no right to coeree the South or
wage war to force her back into the Union, but
if we had right to do these things then Lin
coins course was justi6able because the IN cans
he used were necessary to accomplish that end.
As to the charge that the government during
its Administrations has made no effort to bring

other property and the government is not oblig-
Cd TO become Shareholders, the emancipation
proclamation declaring the slaves free is the
only practical way of carrying out lin relation
to negro property that part of the Constitution
which makes the confscation Of property one of
the penalties for the punishment Of treason.
In relation 10 the employment Of colored men
as soldiers, we remark, that the government
would evidently, in an armed rebellion like this,
have the power to use the property con6Scated
from the Rebels for the suppression of the rebel
ion and as cololed men may be useful on ia
tigue duty laboying on Notifications, in garri-
sons and in fighting the rebel armies. it is also
constitutional TO employ them where they may
be rendered servicable.
The arbitrary arrests, suspension Of the ha-
beas corpus act, and proclamng martial law
may be included under one head. Now the
Constitution expressly provides for The suspen-
sion Of the habeas corpus act, arrests, and the
proclamation of martial law, whenever 4" the
public safety may require it," The President
Of the United States is COMMUNICATIVE the
army, navy and militia, according to the Con-
sttutou, ard is the one to regulate the ,car
Po'ger provided for emergencies in the ConsGtC-
ton The suspension of haLeas corpus act and
the proclaiming of martial law has been prac-
tised without any one thinking that = the Con-
sututon had been disregalded i'll every part
Il was practsed in the State Of Rhode Island
during the Dorr rebellion. Aaron Burr formed
a conspiracy against the government which num-
bered only two or three hundred men, yet Presi-
dent Jefferson proclaimed martial law over
large district of country. Here there was no
open outbreak, not even a mob, yet Jefferson
has never been accused Of violating the Const-
tuition. When this rebellion commenced we
had traitors in our midst who vociferated that
we had no power TO coerce "a sovereign State, nor
any right under the Constitution to suppress the
rebellion and the shipment of arms from New
York city to the rebel authorities of Georgia
was only prevented by what these gentlemen
would call arbitrary proceedings. Others in
that state threw out hints about fire in the
rear " if the government attempted 10 coerce
rebels
We remember we'll that in the year 1861, in
the county of 0tsego, some thirty or forty miles
from the residence Of Horatio Seymour, num-
Der Of men in one of the towns were in the habit
of assembling and drilling with arms They
denounced the government for attempting
to coerce the rebels, and proclaimed that
they would raise the stripes and bars on the
Fourth of July to express their sympathy with

The Shoe and Leather Reporter says:
"Skin the dogs and cats and put their
hides to some profitable use; let the
bone-boilers have their bones. In one
of the wards in Newark, New Jersey,
where some thirteen hundred votes are
polled, there are estimated to be about
six hundred dogs-worthless hungry
curs-with about the same number OF
cats, to dispute possession in and about
the domiciles of their masters and mis-
tresses. We say kill and skin them.
The slxius of the biggest mastiffs are fit
to be tanned for boots and shoes, or
thick riding gloves; the skins of lesser
dogs can be dressed white for gloves;
and so of cats Rid the world of some
of these nuissnces, and put their hides
and bones to better use than many of
them would otherwise attain.

The whole of the present month is a
series of holidays with the Jews. The
first ten days which follow the new
year, including Monday, the tenth, are
called the ten penitential days, and are
observed more or less by fasting and
prayer, and strict religionists paying the
utmost attention to the observance of
this period. The tenth day is called
Yom Kiffur-a day of atonement. The
synagogues are open the night previous
and during the entire day following,
during which time there is fasting and
prayer tlr
On the 10Th Of the month comes Sue
