MCCLELLAN AND THE PLATFORM.

In our issue of September l4th, we SUBJ
stantially argued that there was perfect ac
cord between the Chicago Platform and Gen.
NJ 'Clellan's letter of acceptance-or, to re-
peat what we then said, that Gen. VI Clel-
Ian and Seymour, Wood & Co., understood
each other fully, and are playing conf
dence game, by which everybody else is to
be cheated and they Jointly benefited. That
we were not mistaken in our view of this
point, we are now prepared to show by so
called Democratic testimony. The Daily
Mtetiiqencer, the organ OF that party in
Lancaster, says:
Some of our Democratic friends are in
clined to the opinion that Gen. Mcclellan,
In his letter of acceptance, repudlates the
platform adopted by the Convention which
nominated him. We cannot, for the life of
Us, see disagreement between the two. If
there be any at all, which we do not admit,
it must be distinction without difference,
and it would puzzle Philadelphia lawyer to
point it out. Both are for Ieace, compro-
mise and restored Union under the Con-
stitution differing somewhat in phraseolo
gy, it is true. but both aiming at the same
glorious result. There is no conflict be-
tNCGu bIt DidllOTiil anu tHc ltltGI. anu We
are very sure nothing of the kind was inten-
ded by Gen. Mcclellan. .
The Reading Gazette, elited by j. Law
renee Getz, well known politician of Berks
county, and who at one time was Speaker of
the House of Representatives at Harrisburg,
takes the some view Of the subject. In a
leading editorial, in his issue of the 18th of
S1o4 Il, tIa
These are the main points of the Plat
form and the Letter of Acceptance compa-
red; and he who can discover any contra
| diction i'll them, is a much shrewder and
| more subtle critic than we. The truth IS,
the two documents do not conflict, in any
| important particular but harmonic as full
| ly as any two papers, upon similar subjects,
emanating from different minds, can be ex-
| pected to do
In an article on Eallandigham, in the
same paper, the Gazette editor says;
THE letter neither adds thereto or takes
| therefrom butts in strict accordance with
Gen. Mcclellan previous record, both IN
word and deed. The charge that his letter
repudiates the platform adopted at Chicago,
is a mere pretence, and has no foundation III
fact
| We think these extracts should satisfy the
most incredulous that Gen. Mcclellan S let
ter of acceptance, although containing some
expressions which seem to conflict with the
Platform, agrees with it in spirit and senti-
ment-that little Mac, ~ like Buchanan in
1856, is absorbed in the Platform, and must
do as the leaders of his party direct, wheth-
er he is willing or unwilling.

VICTORY CERTAIN.

From all parts of the country we have the
most cheering assurances of final and decl-
sive victory Grant, and Sheridan, and
Sherman, and their brave boys, are daily
holding such mass meetings, and making
such speeches, as insure the defeat alike OF
Copperheads and Rebels. Alsover the land
the loyal masses are aroused, and are earn
estly at work to render our triumph signal
and glorious In Philadelphia they are hold
ing 'protracted meeting III Concert Hall,
which is nightly filled to its utmost capacity,
and often overhowing, until the streets for
squares are packed with dense crowds cheer
ing Lincoln, johnson and the Union They
assure us that in his native city, Little Mae,

In Pittsburg and Allegheny, Copperheads
have almost entirely disappeared, and the
vote will be nearly solid for the Union ticket.
From all parts of the State, we have news
that the canvass goes bravely on, and that
we shall carry it next Tuesday by over forty
thousand majority. In Ohio the Copper
heads refuse to take bets on sixty thousand

tide is all one way, while Gov. Seymour and
Fernando Wood hang their heads in shame,
before the thoroughly aroused Indignation
of the loyal masses Even New Jersey as
sures us that she is tired of being the only
Copperhead State, and will this fall stand
side by side with her northern sisters in Civ
ing the last crushing blow to the rebellion.

safe for the Union ticket The harbingers
of victory are on every side. 1t only needs
that we should be faithful, earnest, and true,
