LOOK OUT FOR Your CHMNEYs.-The Com
mon Council have passed a law, which will be
found in another column, and if strictly enforced
will have a tendency to prevent the danger to
which many buildings are now liable, of being
destroyed by fire. 1t is the intention of the
Council to enforce the law, and parties who
have stove pipes stuck through their roofs will
do well to attend to it in time, and thereby
avoid both the penalty and the danger of losing
their property It is to be regretted that this
law was not passed a month or two earlier, as
there are a large number of chimneys to be
built throughout the city and the time allowed
by the law in which they are to be built is
rather short. The brick masons will have to
work lively for the next few weeks, while poor
people may have to hunt up their last dollar to
meet unexpected outlays

The Feeling for General Mcclellan
i'm the Army.

The Nashville correspondent of the Jer-
sey City STANDARD says, under date of Sep
tember l:
"Thank Heaven for the nomination of
Mcclellan! There is hope for the country
in it. Hereabouts, the genuine conserva-
tive Union men, and the soldiers from New
Jersey and all the Atlantic States, are in an
ecstacy of delight over it. A Massachusetts
officer of high rank told me that whatever
his State might do, he should throw up his
cap for Mcclellan, since he believed that If
elected that noble chieftain would point out
an honorable way to reunion and enduring
peace. He could no longer 60 for Lincoln,
for while approving of some of his acts, he
disapproved of many more, and believed
they had been instrumental in prolonging
the war by making unit of the South and
breaking the North into discordant ele-
ments. Besides, from his own observation,
he was satisfied, he said, that Mr.. Lincoln
was surrounded by incompetent, corrupt
and fanatical advisers, so that he had lost
the balance of his native common sense and
reputed honesty, and was mere tool in
their hands without knowing it. He was
therefore for change. He believed there
could be no change for the worse, and
thought it impossible but that any change
would be for the better. At any rate, he
was for change, as the last chance of the
country. And this process of reasoning of
the Massachusetts, officer is going on in
hundreds of thousands of minds all over
the land, and commends itself to the average
common sense of our countrymen."

SUIcIDE.-There is a WEAKNESS of life in
old age, when the happiness and the hopes
of life have passed away, that is melancholy
almost beyond conception, and James E.
Harriott, a well-to-do citizen of the village
of Lima, undoubtedly experienced this feel
ing to the verge of madness. On Saturday
morning last, he got up and dressed him
self as usual, eat hearty breakfast, gave
no special evidence of depression, then went
up stairs, put pistol to his head and shot
himself. The ball passed through the brain
He never was conscious after, and lived
about two hours and half after the rash
deed. He was about sixty years of age,
worth about $4,000, and without debt. He
left paper addressed to one of our citizens,
stating, among other things, that his act
was meditated. telling where, when, and for
what price he had bought his pistol, and the
use he had bought it for.-Auen County

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. ls
[From The World Of Sept o.
General NIcCIellan's Acceptance

The country will hail with profound sat
isfaction and enthusiastic applause General
McClellan's letter, accepting his nomination
by the Democratic party for President Of
the United States, published in this morn
ing's World. The committee, headed by Gov.
Seymour, which was deputed by the Chica-
90 Convention to inform the General Of its
action, met at the st. Nicholas Hotel yes
terday noon, proceeded to the Generals
residence, and there discharged their duty.
The Generals reply to the committee was
returned to their chairman last evening.
His letter is brief; but every sentence is
compact with an earnest, high-toned and
devout patriotism, characteristic of the man.
Its explicit, square, ilnfinching enunciation
of the principles which should guide the
Government in restoring Union, peace, and
liberty to the nation, will command the adj
miration, as well as the assent, Of every
honest and loyal man.
There is no place for any Northern man
to stand, except on McClellan's platform,
or on the platforms of the Abolition dis
unionists of the North, or the rebellious Sc
cessionists of the South. Not syllable of
its language is dubious, ambiguous, or dou-
ble-faced. 1t is open. clear, ringing, and
stands four square to all the winds of trea-
son, blow they from the White House, or
ITOm hlcnmO0u.
"The Union at all hdzards" These five
words should strike the liars dumb who
have DETAINED him and his party with the
charge of consenting to disunion peace
the Union for which his gallant comrades
periled their lives, and whose blood shall
not have been spilled in vain. No more ef-
fusion of blood If the rebels will, for Union
is The one condition Of Peace. We ask no 9TH
err"
"Love and reverence for the Union, the Con-
stitution, the La,cs, and the Flag" uttered in
every breath, while the traitors who shriek-
ed "Tear down the Haunting lie hoarsen
their throats with calumny against him
whose patriotism is of such sort as they
never conceived.
The Constitution and laws his "rule of
duty" to maintain the supremacy of law
over President, army and people and to re-
assert the unity and power of the nation
among the nations of the earth, his avowed
purpose; devout reliance upon the AL
mighty for His sovereign aid "to restore the
Union and Peace TO a suffering people, to estab-
Hsk and guard their liberties and rights" the
spirit which he brings to the sublime work.

from The Newark Advocate, Sept sth.l
The Congressional Convention
Hon. Chnrles EOIIett Nominated.

The Convention which met in Newark on
the 9TH inst, for the selection of Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the 18th
district, was full and harmonious. Every
county was represented by large delega-
ton of its most active and intelligent DEM
ocrats, and there existed throughout the
body conviction that brilliant victory
awaits the Democracy at the approaching
elections.
The choice of the Convention, upon the
first ballot, fell upon Hon. Charles Follett,
of Newark. A large vote-almost one-half
of the Convention-was cast for the renom-
ination of Hon. John O'Neill, our present
member; but a small majority of the dele
gates (about the same number as defeated
Mr.. FOllett's nomination two years ago) de-
clared their preference for him at this Con-
ventiOn. The entire delegations from Knox
and Licking counties, where he is best
known, threw their votes on both occasions
In favor of Mr.. Follett and on Wednesday
last, as soon as 1t was known that he had
received q majority, the counties of Mus
kingum and Coshocton stepped promptly
forward and made his nomination unani-
nous. On the call of the delegates, Mr..
O'Neill gallantly mounted the stand and in
a speech, remarkable for its beauty, spirit
and eloquence, bowed to the decision that

not to imagine that he would be unmindful
of his duty as Democrat or forgetful of the
magnanimous example set by Mr.. Follett
under defeat when he (O'Neill) was his sue
cessful competitor two years ago. He paid
ahigh and well-deserved compliment to the
ability and character of the nominee, pledg-
ed the entire, unbroken Democratic vote of
Muskingum county In his favor in October,
and, when the Convention was about to adj
journ, PROPOSED three roaring cheers for Mr..
Follett, which were followed by three 'sti-
gers for John 0'Neill from the entire as
semblage.
In this community, where Mr.. Follett has
lived since his YOUTH it would be work of
supererogation to speak of the purity ofhis
private character, his standing as a citizen,
his ability as lawyer, or of his sound po-
litical sentiments; all these are matters on
which there will be no disagreement among
candid men at home. To those who live
in other portions of the district It may be
affirmed without reserve that Licking coun-
ty contains no ADLER man and can boast no
citizen of greater uprightness. As such,
she commends him to the confidence and
support of all who wish to be served in Con-
gress by an. able, honest and patriotic rep
resentative.

The following is correct copy of the
Resolutions, or Platform, adopted by
unanimous vote of the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago, on the 30th

ResolUed, That in the future, as in the past, We
will adhere with answering fidelity 10 the Union
under the Constitution as the only. solid foundation
of our strength, security and happiness people.
and as framework OF government equally conduc-
i've TO the welfare and prosperity Of all the States.
both Northern and Southern.
ResolDed That this Convention does explicitly de-
clare as the sense Of the American people, that after
four years Of failure TO restore the Union by the ex-
pertinent Of war, during which, under the pretence
Of military necessity or war power higher than the
Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disre
right alike trodden down and the material prosperity
Of the country essentially impaired-justice human
ity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that inn
mediate efforts be made for cessation Of hostilties,
with view TO an ultimate convention of the States,
or other peaceable means to the end that at the ear
the. basis Of the Federal Union Of the States.
Resotoed That the direct interference Of tho mill
iary authorities Of the United States in the recent
elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and
Delaware, was shameful violation Of the Oonstitu-
ton; and repetition Of such acts in the approach
ing election will be held as revolutionary, and re-
sisted with all the means and power under our con-
troll.
Resolred, That the aim and object Of the Demo-
rights of the States unimpared; and they hereby
declare that they consider that the administrative
usurpatiOn Of extraordinary and dangerous powers
not granted by the Constitution; the subversion Of
the civil by military law in States not in insurrec
tion; the arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment,
trial and sentence of American citizens in States
where civil law exists in full force the suppression
Of freedom Of speech and Of the press the denial Of
the right of asylum; the open and avowed disregard
oaths; and the interference with and denial Of tho
right Of the people to bear arms in their defense i
calculated 10 prevent restoration Of the MON, and
the perpetuation of government deriving its just
powers from the consent Of the governed.
Resoired, That the shameful disregard Of the Ad-
mnstration to its duty in respect to our fellow-ci
zens who are, and long have been, prisoners Of
in suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprobation on the score alike Of public policy and
common humanity.
Resoived, That the sympathy of the Democratic

and have been, in the field and on the sea, under
