H A good thing in its line was
the Chicago Convention. 1t placed
the Copperheads on record. And
such 8 record!
After nominating the greatest mil
itary humbug of the sge, as the can
didate of the Democracy, they grave
ly asserted that the war for the Union
has been failure, and that after
"four years of failure" an armistice
and compromise were imperatively
demanded, &c. On this theme the
changes we're rung by every Copper
head press in the land, as on a harp
ofa thousand strings. They iterated
and reiterated '-that the rebellion
never could be put down." ''that the
South could never be subjugated
&C."
Rather an ugly record that to look
back upon we think. Buff unpleas-
ant now, what will 1t be in the future2
If events have sinceSproTed the lea
ders in that Convention, the greatest
set of scoundrels out of the bottom
less pit, will facts grow any less
strong when our soldiers return?
viii it be safe then for our McClel-
Ian Yallandighamers, to blather about
Southern courage. and the failure Of
the war? The leaders of this party
know that it will not be safe, and they
wisely assert that they have with
drawn from any part in politics, and
that now as heretofore they are in
favor of the Union, &c. But how
will it be with the masses of honest
Democrats, whom they have deceiv-
ed and misled, by their frantic raw
ings for peace, which meant nothing
more nor less than an acknowledge
inent of the Confederacy, and a dis
solution of the Union? Will these
deluded men, still be led by these
villainous traitors, or will they not, ,at
no very distant day call them to an
account for their wilful misrepresen-
tations of the true policy of the Gov
ernment.
We repeat that the Chicago Con-
ventfon was good Institution. And
just here we are reminded that it was
not adjourned sine die, but merely
stands adjourned to be called togeth-
er again, by order Of August Bel
mout, the agent of the RothschiIds Of
Europe. This provision too, is for
tunste. The Chicago Convention
still exists. Let it be called together
again, to discuss the four years of
failure, the probability of subjugating
the South, of crushing the rebellion
by armed force, and all other topics,
which on the 29th of August, 1864,
engrossed the attention of the largest
body of conspirators and traitors,
that ever disgraced the world. Let
it be called together quickly. and ex-
punge those resolutions Of failure.
Do it, before the boys get home and
prove by the valor of their own good
right arms that every word relative
thereto is lie, and well known to
be so,at the time the unhung villains
promulgated their infamous platform.
Yes, call that Convention, and let the
banner that shall wave over it, be
the pettieoats worn by JEFF. Davis
when he failed to elude the pursuit of
Union soldiers. Send for Vallandig
ham, and in the full regalia of the
Supreme Commander of the Sons of
T., and enveloped in the ample
folds of some Southern lady's erino-
line, let the polished traitor" hiss
forth his venom, upon the Govern
ment, whose strong arm he may yet
invoke to protect him from the well
merited vengeance Of the noble sol
diers he has done so much to defeat
Send for George n. Sanders, Bev,
erly Tucker and others implicated in
the murder of the President. Send
for Bowles and Milligan, in fact send
for any and every scoundrel of the
Confederate army, and let all bear
witness to the truthfulness and hon.

vention, ''that was, and is, but sha,l
be not again forever"
