And well stop that too
When little Mac lakes the helm
Now, wives and mothers, all turn out,
Hurrah hurrah
Well put the TYRANTS all to..rout-
Hurrahl hurrah
Well give Old Abe punch in his liver,
Send him and crew up Salt River.
And We'll have peace,
When Mcclellan takes the helm
Now come and Join our patriot band
Hurrah hurrah
Vote and fight for your native land
Hurrah hurrah
Wen have the Union, the Constitution,
Or in the North Revolution
And well all stand true,
Till little Mac takes the helm
The Committee on Resolutions may derive
some hints from the following, adopted by Cop
perheads last fall, just before Mcclellan took
the helm or wanted to:
ReSOlUed, By this Convention, that we are in
favor of the IMMEDIATE CESSATION OF
HOSTILITIES AND PEACE"
RESOLVED, That we hereby recommend and re-
quest our delegates elect to Chicago TO support
none but peace men and peace measures
ReSOLued, That as the history of this war
proves that the Union cannot be thus restored
| w AMI 1N nv OI0 OT " GOOIl
AND AN ARMISTICE to the end that Peace
and Union shall be restored.
RESOLVED, THAT THE THANKS OF THE
CONVENTION BE RENDERED TO THE
HON. ALEXANDER LONG, FOR HIS
BOLD POSITION AND SPEECHES IN
CONGRESS.
Also from this resolution
ReSOtUed That coercion of the seeding States
of the Union by force of arms is no remedy for
existing eVils-that ARMED COERCION is CIVIL
WAR, and civil war would not only render DIS
UNION INEVITABLE, but tIRREMEDIABLE; that
the advocacy of coercion by the leaders of the
Republican party is not suggested by love of the
Union as it exists, but by hatred of the people
of the South"
And from this
ReSolred, That the two hundred thousand
Democrats of Ohio send to the people of the
United States, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH, greet
ing; and when the people of the North shall
have fulfilled their duties TO the CONSTITUTION
| AND THE SOUTH-THEN, AND NOT TILL THEM will
| it be proper for them to take unto considera-
ton the QUESTION OF THE RIGHT OF COERCION.
And from this adopted at the Chicago Con-
vention
Resolved, that this Convention does explic
lily declare, as the sense of the American peo-
pie, that AFTER FOUR YEARS OF FAIL
URE TO RESTORE THE UNION BY THE
EXPERIMENT OF WAR, during which, un-
| der the pretense of a military necessity or war
power higher than the Constitution the Consti-
tuition itself has been disregarded in every part.
and public liberty and private right alike trod-
den down, and the material prosperity of the
country essentially impaired Justice, humanity,
liberty and the public welfare demand that i'm
mediate efforts to be made for a CESSATION
OF HOSTlLITIES, with view TO an ultimate
convention OF all the States, or other peaceable
means, to the end, that at the earliest practical
BILE moment, peace may be restored on the basis
of the Federal Union of the States.
The orators on the occasion may intersperse
their speeches with the following taken at ran
dom from speeches made at the Democratic"
Chicago Convention.
The Chicago Times says of the following
speech of HENRY CLAY DEAN:
''His speech was one of peculiar bitterness
aboundlng with Stubborn irresistiable incOntro
vertable facts. 1t impaired enthusiasm to the
audience, and blistered the souls of the repub-
icans who had the courage to listen to it to the
end.
REMARKS BY HENRY CLAY DEAN.
He said in the presence of the face of Camn
Douglas and all the satraps of Lincoln. that the
American people were ruled by felons. Lincoln
had never turned a dishonest man out of office
or Kept an honest one in. A voice: "What
have you to say of JEFF. Davis?"1 Ihaye moth
ing to say about him. Lincoln is engaged in q
controversy with him, and l never interfere be-
tween black dogs. AT this point in the speak
ers remarks, an Abolition rowdy shouted "Dry
up, you old tory" when there was cry to mt |
him out. Mr.. Dean resumed: For over three
years Lincoln had been calling for men. and |
they had been given. But with all the vast ar |
mics placed at his command, he had failedl FAIL
EDll FAILEDlll FAILEDl.ll Such failure had |
never been known. Such destruction of hu- |
man life had never been known since the des-
truction of Sennacherib by the breath of the |
Almighty. And still the monster usurper
wanted more men for his slaughter pens. loud |
cries OF ne shant have more. The careful |
husbandman, in deadening the forest was always
careful IN preserving the young growth of tim
Der; and In selecting his swine for the slaughter
pen, he preserves the younger ones for future |
use. But the tyrant and despOt who ruled this |
people to destruction paid no regard to age or |
condition. He desired to double the widow
hood and duplicate the orphans He blushed
that such felon should occupy the highest gift
of the people. Perjury and larceny were writ

one dollar bill of the Bank of the State of In
diana. Cries of the "Old Villain."1 The De-
mocracy were for peace. The people were for
peace, but the contractors, and army officers
and straps OF the Administration wanted it not
CGreat Applause. Ever since the usurper.
traitor, and tyrant had occupied the Presidep-
tial chair, the Republican party had shouted war
to the knife, and the knife to the hilt. Blood
had flown in torrents and yet the thirst of the
old monster was not quenched. His cry was
for more blood.
Judge Miller, of Ohio said:
L
"a bloody thirsty war has been waged to ell
evate the negro to an equality with the white
man. There is no difference between a WAR
DEMOCRAT AND AN ABOLITIONTST
THEY ARE BOTH LINKS IN THE SAME
MADE FROM THE SAME
DOG"
McMasters, of New York, said:
"The war is an unholy fight. Soon the net ;s
to be drawn that will gather in its half million
more to feed the Unsuitable thirst for blood of
Negro God. Let us demand cessation of the
sacrifice until the people shall pronounce their
great and emphatic verdict for peace and let the
tyrant understand that the demand comes from
earnest men and must be respected"
Mr.. Sanderson, of Pennsylvania, said:
"What is this war for? The nigger. II tisfor
the nigger against the white man | think we
don't want our bosOms stuffed SO much with
id niggers this warm weather don't he
lieve the negro is equal to the white man. Isit
not high time that this Internal war was stop
ped? If the South could be subugated by this
internal war; the bayonets would be turned
against the North Come veal or woe we will
be for the sovereignty of the States sand indiyid-
ual rights"
Camp Kuntz, of Pittsburg said:
"Mr Lincoln is a id thief and leader of
thieves. Lincoln was now played out; the on
position to him was going 10 be bold and DOW
erful; there must be underhand work, and if
Democrats catch any of Lincoln's BY satray
spies among them, they must cut their id
throats that's all. should like to see the no.

and that great Democrat, HOratio Seymour
should occupy the position of Secretary Of State
In the Cabinet, L would see the name of Voor-
hees, and the brilliant galaxy of gentlemen |
who cluster round the Democratic
banner"
