The Democratic Convention at Chicago on this
day, with uranimity which has rarely visited
their councils have selected as their nominee and
the nominee Of the Democratic party, for the Pres
ident of the United States, Gen. Geo. Is. McClcl-
! Ian. Loud and repeated cheers. Gen. Mcclellan
in nominated in connection with declaration OF
principles and policy upon which the sufirages Of
tho people of the United States are asked in this
momentous crisis Of their history. The Demo-
cratic Convention, with the greatest unanmity,
have affirmed their unalterable adhesion 10 the
Union. They have declared in the first resolution
that il is the source Of all strength and great
ness, North and South. They have thus in the
most emphatic terms placed their feet on the dogma
of secession and stood upon that great principle of
fraterna and federal union, under which this
Union has become great and prosperous. They
have added to that resolution declaratory of what
shall be the policy 10 be inauguratedby the election
Of their nominee. That is that immediate measures
shall be taken for the cessation Of hostltcs cheers
with q convention Of tho States or other practicable
means to secure peace upon the basis OF the Fed
cral Union. That is principle broad enough, deep
enough, and strong enough for every lover of his
country 10 stand by IN the approaching crisis.
More than year ago very distinguished member
from Massachusetts, Judge Thomas, declared in his
seat in Congress that neither confiscaton acts nor
emancipation proclamations nor arbitrary arrests,
nor any measures that the present Administration
had resorted to would ever save the country, and
that the only means Of saving 1t was to prosecute
the war with such vigor as woud secure q substan-
tial victory, and when that was accomplished TO
hold out the olive branch with offers Of peace upon
the restoration Of the Union. What has transpired
since that declaration has confirmed its truth and
III my opinion the time 10 now approaching when
there is reasonable probability that offers on our
psyt " secure peace Honorable 70 both SECTIONS
