To THE PoNT.-The following resolu-
tons which were enthusiastically adopt
ed at grand ratification meeting in
Brooklyn n. Y, last Wednesday, strike
the nail on the head every time;
Resolved, That we rejoice in the nom
ination of Abraham Lincoln for Pres
ident of the United States
Because we have found him through
out this tremendous contest, patient
sagacious, faithful, just;
Because we know that he loves Lib
erty and hates Slavery;
Because his nomination declares to
rebels and to the world our determine
ton that in this Government of the
people bullets shall not overthrow bal
lots, but that hereafter, as i'll earlier
days, officers lawfully elected shall be
peaceably obeyed.
Resolved, That We rejoice in the
nomination of Andrew Johnson, o.
Tennessee, for Vice President
Because we know that he also will bt
true TO the end in this conflict of Lib
erty with Slavery--of law and order
with rebellion and treason; and
Because his nomination is fit rec
ignition of those noble men who have
maintained their loyalty in the very
furnace of rebellion.

Withdrawal or Generals Fremont
and COchrane.

Gen. Fremont has taken the step OF
withdrawing his name from the list of
candidates for the Presidency as will
fully appear from his printed letter in
another column. Gen. John Cochrane
follows his example and also with
draws his name from the Presidential
canvass MS u candlatr for the Vice
Presidency. His letter of Withdrawal
is written in n good spirit and we re-
publish extracts from it in this weeks
issue which will be read with some in.
terest,
In particular point Of view II,
particular importance can be ATTACHED
TO these letters Of Withdrawal, for un
less we grcaly misunderstood the signi
of the times the Cleveland movement
was not creating any disastrous diyis
ion in the Union ranks. In a person
al point of view it is fortunate tina
both Of the above named persons hav,
extracted themselves from the pc
sition in which they were placed Al
attempt to divide public opinion a
this period of our national histor,
would, probably, have proved futile
If the attempt had been PERSISTED il
and been successful in defeating tb,
Union candidates, certain dishonol
would have always rested upon til,
names of Fremont and Cochrane.
In respect to the sharp assaults o
Gen. Fremont upon President Lin
coin we have no fear that they can d,
much harm, or that they can win Tia,
sympathy of those who once voted fol
Gen. Fremont for the highest offic,
in the gift of the American people
The party and country will survive til,

Many will regret this unjust and gra

Gems from Chicago.

1t is not at all agreeable business to
quarry out specimens from the mine of
modern Democracy which was laid
open at Chicago. But in view of the
attempt which was made both III the
chief nomination and, to some extent,
III the platform, to dissemble the trail
torous designs of the leaders, and i'll
view of Gen. McClellan's avowed po-
sition, it becomes necessary that this
work should be done for the enlighten-
ment of the public We take, there
fore, the following extracts from the
reports Of the various Democratic
speeches made in the city, rs published
in the Chicago Times, the copperhead
organ
Mr.. Bone of Pennsylvania said
IF they wanted the war to go on,
then they should support Lincoln; but
if they wanted peace and the negro
kept III his proper place, then they
should support the nominee of the con-
vention. Cheers If they did 50
they would see the Democratic rule,
under which the country had prosper
ed, return again with peace and plenty
He was in favor of Mcclellan. (Threc
cheers for Mcclellan.
Hon. S. 5. Cox said
"Ihe war WAS failure. This con-
vention should declare for negotiation
for peace.
Mr.. Fuller OF Michigan said
[ ask you then, whether, in Wow of
these facts, YOU are willing to respond
to the call made upon you, and give
/ 100000 more men to this unholy
cause Cloud cries of No! Nor
Mr.. Sandorson of Pennsylvania said
Fellow citizens, what say You? Is
/ it not time that this Internal war should
cease? Voices Yes.
NJ c. c. Burr of New Jersey said
"Mr Lincoln has stolen good many
thousand negroes, but for every Negro
he had thus stolen he had stolen ten
thousand spoons. 1t had been said
that if the South would lay down THEN
arms they would be received again III
the Union. The South could not
honorably lay down their arms, foi
she was fighting for her honor

God that they never might be. Tn,

Their representatives, had come t,
Chicago to nominate a candidate fol
the Presidency. He would be nomi
mated on peace platform, and the,

All of which is respectfully submit
ted to the thinking and patriotic PEG
pie of this country, who desire to know
what was the real draft of the inhuen
ces at Chicago, which resulted III til

Gen. Sherman's Reply TO Gen.
Hood.

Gen. Sherman having announced
that all non-combatants must leave At
lanta within specified time, Gen.
Hood wrote letter 20 Gen. Sherman,
accusing him of "studied and ungen-
erous cruelty and appealing to Heav-
EN- to judge of the case as it deserved,
&c. Gen. Sherman replied as follows;
Gen. j. L. Hood | have the hon
or to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of this date, concerning the ar
rangements / had proposed to facili-
tate the removal south of the people
of Atlanta, who prefer to go in that di-
rection. enclose you Il copy of my
orders, which will, am satisfied, ac-
complish my purpose perfectly. You
style the measure proposed "unprece-
dented, - and appeal to the dark histo-
ry of war for n parallel as an act of
studied and ungenerous cruelty" 1t
is not unprecedented for Gen. Johns
ton himself very wisely and properly
removed families all the way from
Dalton down, and see no reason why
Atlanta should be excepted. Nor is
it necessary to appeal to the dark his
tory Of war when recent and modern
examples are so handy you yourself
burned dwelling houses along your
parapet, and ] have seen to-day fifty
houses that you have rendered unin-
habitable because they stood in the
way of your forts and men. You de-
Tended Atlanta on n line so close to
the town that every cannon shot and
many musket shots from our line of
investments that over-shot their mark
went into the habitation Of women and
children. Gen. Hardce did the same
at Jonesboro, and Gen. johnson did
the same last summer at Jackson,

cruelty, but merely instance these cases
OF very recent occurrence and could
go on and enumerate hundreds of 9th
ers and challenge any fair man to
Judge which of us has heart of pity
for the families of "brave people /
say 1t is kindness to these families of
Atlanta to remove them at once from
scenes that women and children should
not be exposed to. And brave people
should scorn to commit their wives
and children to rude barbarians who
thus, as you say, violate the laws of
war as illustrated in the pages of its
dark history.
In the name of common-sense 1 ask
You not TO appeal to a just God in such
a sacrllegious manner. You, who in
the midst of peace and prosperity have
plunged nation into civil war dark
and cruel war who dared and badg-
cred us to battle, insulted our flag

Gen. FremOnt's Withdrawal.
BosroN, Sept. u

GENTLEMEN l feel it my duty to
make one step more in the direction
indicated by my letter of the 25th of
August, and withdraw my name from
the list of candidates.
The Presidential question has in eff
feet been entered upon in such way
that the union of the Republican party
has become a paramount necessity.
The policy of tho Democratic party
signifies either separation or re-estab-
lishment with slavery The Chicago
platform is simply separation Gen.
McClellan's letter of acceptance is re-
establishment with slavery
The Republican candidate, on the
contrary, is pledged to the re-estab-
lishment of the Union without slavery
and, however hesitating his policy may
be, the pressure Of his party viii, we
may hope, force him to it.
Between these issues | think no man
of the Liberal party can remain III
doubt and | believe / am consistent
with my antccedents in withdrawing,
not to aid the triumph Of Mr. Lincoln,
but to do my part toward preventing
the election of the Democratic candi-
date
In respect to Mr.. Lincoln, | contin-
ne to hold exactly the sentiments con
tanned in my letter of acceptance. /
consider that his administration has
been politically, militaIily, and fnan-
cially Il failure, and that its necessary
continuance is cause of regret for the
country There never was Il greater
unanimity iii country than was ex-
hibited here at the fall of Sumter, and
the South was powerless in the face OF
it. But Mr.. Lincoln completely para
lyzed this generous feeling. He des-
troyed the strength of the position, and
divided the North when he declared
to the South that slavery should be
protected. He has built up for the
South a strength which otherwise they
could have never attained, and this
has given them an advocate on the
Chicago platform.
The Cleveland Convention was tC
have been the open avowal of that con
expressing to each other for the pas
two years, and which had been mad,
fully known to the President. But il
the uncertain condition of affairs, lead
ing men were not found willing t
make public dissatisfaction and con
domination which could have rendered
Mr. Lincoln's nomination impossible
and their continued silence and sup
port established for him n characte
among the people which leaves now NJ
choice.
United, the Republican party i
reasonably sure of success divided
the result of the Presidential election
is, at the least, doubtful
