Chicago platform Is simply separation. Gen, AcCl,'.

Toe Republican candidate, on the contrary Is pledged
to the re-estGbshment Of the Union without slavery
and however hesitaung bis policy may be- the pressure

| Between these issues / thu of the liberal
party can remain in doubt; and believe an conss-
tent with my AutGoedens IN Withdrawing, not TO aid In
the triumph of Mr. Lnctl, but to do my part towards
preventing the election Of the Democratic candidate.
Ia respect to Mr.. Lincoln continue TO hold exactly
he sentiments contained in my letter Of Rccsptaoe'-
coasider that his administration has bsa, pOlitcay
mtllarily and financially failure and that its RtcsS-
sary continuance is a caused rGgIeiJ~ The country.
There never was greater uuanlnIy in coultry than
was exhibited here at the Fall Of SUMTER aud the South
was poWeIlsss in the face Of IL But Mr.. Liucolu
pe,ey pSray Esd this generous feeling. He destroyed
The strength OF tho positon and divided the North when
he declared to the South that slavery should be protec

V,,Lo,, beya mt Ovnr thpir liz ;,hila
ton at sler!dauI recent successes They are firing
great guns ali over the country, 'by authority" At
Washington, at Nashville, at Wilmington, they are
wasting powder enough to que three good sized young
rebellions How Trent the people ths side OF
the border. More than once the people Of the South
have had Just and honest for exltsOn and ytt
how calmly have they borne themselves in the hour Of
victory This assursdy Is a comment which cannot
escape the notice of the observing world.
MCCLELLAN MLKEs NO tPILoH ON sHIRIDLE's VICTORY
Tee elecir Elton Of the North seems to have palled
on the man who the Of his own victories, like
Nsiocchi TIE Italian, e1cam mi risordo rs II re.
preached by the Tribune with beiug Tally Obvious Ct
"sheridans splendid victory"
He Is reported to have said the following by the
Tribune at his frat eeciOneering speech, when the
North vas wild With excitement over the news from the
Valley:
M Rrisnd,-I cannot refrain from expressing nv
gratfclon for your kindness a. this great demonstra
ton in behalf Of the Ulon the Constitution and toe
LAVA THANK you tor the honor done me. You surely
will not expect address you length at this time
and will excuse me for no. making speech aad allow
me to retire. G1uemen, again / thank you and bid
you goodnight.
W1at sulien silence over Sheridan's victory What
hundred braves In the Shenandoah What uEpatrlolic
VIDA. inhuman neglect Of a great victory, and most
precious poi!ical event
WHAT TEE TRIBUNE SAYS ABOUT PLACE. NOW.
The Tribune dspOses of the peace question in para.
graph and thus sounds the a. musicians 50 on The
REQ len Of the dead rebellion:
WeFa7 little concerning the Peace" rumors from
day to day set ,st bu. the conviction we expressed
two months ago that Pace is not distant is strength
| ened by subsequent Developments But for the hope
ell wildly chung to Of OJpperhead triumph in our
Presidential contest, We are confident that 10 bel n
would b. aJpg this side OF the Mississippi the st Of
| November next.
OF course We lay little stress on reports OF ueentil
lions opened here CT progressing there. Tney not
ali without foundation; bat the hope OF early peace
rests not any OF them. Tne vital facts that the Re-
beion is failure, and that its Military power ia very
nearly Exhausted, have fer greater significance The
r bel chief at Richmond may try TO hold out till after
our Presidential contest s over; butt if they Co. they
will have lttlo capal left Whereen to base their de-
mauds for favorable terms Tee more reasonable or
sumption is that, If rot alteRdy int,nt on capitula
| tiop, they very soon will bs.

turb his equAnmity Greeley proaerDg the lash to any

the World:

equally Vllainous Express reiterated rigmaroe To-
tended to give the inpresson that the Central Union

Wednesday evening by negro ball! Il we're needless
to say that there s not word Of truth in the story fol
no one worth kicking will pretend that there is. Whsth

paign Club had closed its meeting aud sft the premses
