In the Northern and Western States this hostility has been emlsvlk-l and organixed in the acts and di clanitions of the Chicagi Convention. That Convention gives a silent approval of the rebellion itself, and an own condemnation of the war waged Tor its suppression. Without a word of censure for the conapiratwrs w ho plotted the uation'a death, it brands with unsparing denunciations the patriots and heroes, who delends its life. While it passes in utter sileuce the c'gsntic usurpations of Jcifrrson Davis a ad bi Coofaderahi traitors, while it overlooks entirely, and thus, by just and ue-essary infereaos. approves their abrogation of pititieal rights aui personal liberties ver all that portion of liie L uited States in which they t hare been able thus far to sustain tl.eir usurpe1 author ty. tip onrj out its wrt without itint if di uiur,, upiin every act by w'.-.ieh the Constitutional Fiwstdeat of Che United Swt.-s. hss nought to defend sod protivt the life and liberties o" t!e nation, whose xs utivtf power is placet in his hamls.

We invoke them n' t to sanction thj principles and sentiments by electing the rand: late put orward to represent th-.-m. We implore tiiem, as tlrf-y love their country, as ti ey-e- k li e ren. -ve l integritr of its territory, a they desire tlie peaceful pr dj-tion of its A?, an I the blessings of its free institutions and ;i "J 1.1I laws for themselre anl tlir p. aiertr, not to arrest the blow which is j'tt rrtly M d sscen I iijs.n the rebellion now totterin;: to its fail: n to (rive the rebels time to rent'W their utrentth for fresh C inflict: not to aid th'we wtm would ai l them in overthrowing our tJovernnv nt, in destroying our Union, ia plunging into a chaos of a::arcby the great communities f which tiie Constitution makes one great and glorious nation, and in thus extinguishing, finally and forever, the hopes, of all who have faith in treeduui and the right of nun. We call ufs-n the people to bear in iniu 1 that, by whatever sophistries they may cloak their purposes, the Chicago Convention neither condems the action ol the Richmond retiels, imr proposes to expel them agsinst their will, or any exercise of force, fr m the seats of power t!iey have usiirjie l. In all essential respects the action that Convention took ac -ords with the resu t the rebels seek. Iioth d-sire a cessation of hostilities. Both denounce, with unpirallele 1 bitterness, tiie fvtruin.-nt of the United States, and both alike seek its overthrow. ISoth dammd that the attempt to conquer arm -d reMlion by force of arms shall be abandoned. And both d. m ind that, when the Government of the United Mates shall have passed i.ito the hands of men npposi-d to an arm"! de'eiise of the Government upain-t ihcl,i.in, the .nr shall en I by ivaceal.le conference of th.-s ) aJlie I poa ers. What more than this, could the retiels ask or neel, for trio consummation of all their plans? We call the pe ,oc t.i bear in mind that if they elect the candidates of the Chicago Convention, they arrest the Government in the execution of its plans and purposes, on the very verpe of their fulfillment, and one-third of a year before anv new administration can t ike its place. T.ie interval will I one of hope and confidence for the rebels, and of exu't ition for their allies in the 1".vh1 States. In the Western States armed prepai itions have already been made by the disciples and advocates of accession, to follow the example ot the South and sever the West from the Federal Union. The success of the Chicago programme in November, w ill be the signal for carrying these designs into execution, and the 4th of March will dawn upon a new- Western Con federacy, aiming at independence, defying the power of the national arms, and co-operating with the slave power of the Southern States in blotting from exis tence the free Republic of the Western world. We call upon tlie people to crush nil these schemes. and to brand their author and allies with their lasting reprobation. We call upon them to snpirt tlie Government, to quell the rebellion, to defend and preserve tho Union. We call npon tiiem to stau 1 by ttie President, who, un ler cireumstance of unp irallelel difficulty .has wielded the power of toe nation with unfaltering courage and fi lelity, w ith integrity which even calumny has not dared to imTeach, and with wisdom and prudence, upon which success is even now stamping tiie surest and the final seal. H: election will proclaim to tiie world the unaltered and ununaitcrable determination of the Anvrican people to quell the rebellion and save the Union. It w ill strike dow n Ion ver the false hopes and expect tions of the rebel G ivernnient, and proclaim to tiie people of the rebel States that their only hope of peace lies in abandoning tneir hostility to the Government, anl resuming their allegiance to the Constitution and laws of tiie United States. We call upon the Union Committees anl the Union Leagues, an l ttj un all loyal associations in every St ite, county and town, to perfect their orprsiiix itions; to infuse fresh vigor and activity into their oper ition: to e.inv iss carefully and promptly their r vspec'ive districts, to circulate document and newspipers containing just and forcible expositions of the merits of our cause, tocomb.it by assemblage of tlie poop! in public meetings, by public speeches, by conversation, bv letters and personal appeals, and in all ju-t and proper mode, the deceptive and pi rib u sophistr i s of the agents and political allies of the rebellion. Let them be on their guard against tlie arts and corruption an I the intrigue which ill lie brought, with unscrupulous desperation to I car upon them. The re!l Government, and those Foreign l'owers most ueeplv interested in our destruction, conld well afford to expen I million in overthrowing his A Iministration and placing in power tho nominee and representatives of the Chicago Convention. Toe skies are breht an 1 full of promise. Tlie lion hearted citizen soldiers of tiie Republic mi'rh ith steady step and unfaltering purpose to a slealy an l glorious victory. Tlie heart of tin people beats true to the Union. Every triumph of the Union arms over the rebel tnv ps arouses otresh the eoiirigr and confidence of Union men. and chills the h srt and decim ites the ranks of aniunission Secessionists, anl in November ill end the lone; nl laborious strife. It will paralyze the arm of reln-llion. It w;!l di;ere its armies, destroy the hope by which f: dejn-tism at Kichm. nl utw holds its suhieets in boul.ige, release the people of the Southern States from their enforced di.sloia'.ty. and give them again the blessings of seU-gcvi-rnment within the Union and under the protcctii.g Constitution ar.d flag of the United State. It will enable our own Government to exchange the weapons of war for the councils of peace, to relax the stern control over public action an 1 public speech which a state of war renders unavoidable, to restore ou financial system, to dissolve all military four's, and hand over again to the civil tribunal of justice the punishment of crime and the preservation of pi:"Iic order, and to restore to their firesides and their homes, clothed with honor and to be held in everlasting rem em'irance, that great army of our citii.-n aol l;ers who have bared their breasts agaicst armed rebellion: and won tlw imperishable renown of saving the glorious Union for which their father and brother died.

All over this lint the pp!s kii oT whit sort of m-nwentup to the Chicago Convention. The spirit of that Conven tion was never b-jforo exhibits-! in this country, an I it ' is liopel will never be exuibitel agiin. It is McClelL an's atm p acre, an 1 if he had all the talent ant popularity ot' Jefpeh.son, he would be defeated, unless Providence should intervene in his favor. Ia the next place, there is som thing in h:s letter which the people of tin's country will n t su'imit to. j He says that the Union must lie preserved, and the 1 war carried on for the Union. But he savs t'aat toe rebel States are to be restore 1, with all their form t j Constitutional privelee;es.

Stand by the Government. The following extract from a speech recently delivered ai Cambrid-re, Ohio, by Hon John A Bingham, of that State, embo lics important truths : Whoever in yonr midst co operates with a party organization which denounces the war fur the Union as "a fruitless strife," declares tiiat it -can never restore the L'nion." that "hostilities siiall cease." and which, by its votes in Congress, and its secret oath-bound conspiracies pro claimcs that the men and money needed for tlie vigorous and successful prosecution of the war. shall not be, and ought imt to be obtained, is tlie enemy of the Republic and the enemy of its defenders. Against all such aiders and abettors of that atrocious treason which has broken the golden circle of so manvJtomes in Ihelree North and West, there should be recorded at the com in election, at every civil precinct and on every battle field of the Republic, a vote so overwhelmingly strong as will attest an nv the truth, that the voice ot a free people uttered in behalf of justice anl right, is t'ae voice of God. Tiie people of the loval St.its hive in their keeping the imperilled life of the Republic. The Republic C'A:1 oe saved under Go 1, only by the armistice which is enforce I by tiie bayonet an 1 proclaimed by rifled ordnance It cannot be saved by voting that hostilities on the part of the Government ceaso., and that supplies of men and money for the army be withheld. Nor can the Republic be saved by voting down Abraham Lincoln and electing in his stead the nominee of a party which declares against coercion of traitors, and in favor of a vigorous prosecution of peace. Let the people loarn of their enemy. Tiie Richmond Examiner, the organ of the rebellion, uses these significant words: "Any change from Lincoln will be better for us." By voting him do n yon aid the rebellion ; by sustaining him fully and unitedly 3 011 save the Republic. Let the people, in the coming elections, trtiiinphantlv sustain their President and army in their endeavor to crush treason, and the hour is not far distant for which all good men pray when the power of the rebellion will be broken, and the beneficient power of the Constitution restored; when the voice of your living he-oes, and the graves of your dead patriot, will bear witness to all the world, 'lr.it the Republic still lives the last rei'iig 1 of adicted nations, the avenger of violated law and justice, and tiie sleepless defender of liberty.

At the Chicago Convention ( outside, ) Dan Mahoney, one of the Democratic "martyrs to free speech," said: To get them ( the South ) back, you must repudiate the disgraceful treatment they received, and thrust from power the instruments of their attempted degrada tio'i.

Tiie campaign had cost "SoOO men in killed, wounded, deserters, prisoners and the fruits of this frightful waste of men were defeat and disaster, a campaign lo-t, the invasion of Maryland, great public gloom and discontent, followed by Copperhead triumphs at the elections, and a general disloyal clamor for a disunion peace. But from that time to this, we have heard from that party no fault with the "giave digger of the Chiekahominy." An Armistice. Those who deny that the Chicgo platform advocates the immediate cessation of hostilities, shoul 1 remember what Fernando Wood says in reference to this subject. "It was." lie says, "with a 3tisfactio:i that knew no bounds that we welcomed, in the platform presented by the Chicago Convention to the Democracy, tlie proposition for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a convention of all the States.' What do the soldiers tiiink of such a platform as that? Will the heroes of so many victores vote with a party that is' cowardly enough to frame such a platform, and then mean enough to support it ? Tho Split in the Democratic Party A Wheel within a Wheel. The more desparate of the Copperhead leaders ( says the Ilarrisburg Telegraph ) are about to engage in one of the dirty games peculiar to that party, in order to deceive ami hoodwink the honest portion of their partisans into a support of George B. McClellan. In order to accomplish this deception, it is oracularly given out bv Ben and Fernando Wood, by Valbindigham. and other worthies of the same tribe of traitors, that thev will not and cannot support "Little .Mac," because he repudiates the peace platform. This is all bosh. It exhibits its purpose of deception on its laec, as all who know tiie "peaco leaders" of tlie no -th, fully understand that taev were ready to vote for arv m m who would give them power an l pit.:- u ige.

Because he lost seven months of the tost valuable time in the history of the -var in m re preparations, which even at he end of thtimo asked for he alleged ! be tnco-Tf 'li'te. anil because even then he was unable or nrnvillingto move until forced todo so by peremptory orders, si io lgn otucr -icu'iuis in the West and outu moved promptly and gained viclo.es.

Because lie systematically exaggerated he rebel strength, stating them at 200,00. when rebel official accounts prove them to have had no more than fo.000; and all this alleged to rest upon information derived from spies. Because in like manner he magnified their def nces, making the quaker guns and skeleton force at Munson'9 Hill a formidable battery, backed by an enormous strength. Vnd so at Yorktown, wasting a month in icsiefiing with 130.000 men a place dei'ended by only M'OO. Because he suffered his whole position cfore Richmond to be taken in reverse ty a single corps of the enemy, and orlered a retreat withoht any cause whatvcr, when he could have repulsed the :ienv and held his works. Because by this disastrous retreat he lost the labors of a whole campaign, sacrificed one-third of his army, and infused new life into tlie rebellion, apparently with a view to throw odium on the Ad ministration for refusing to send him McDowell s corps, when his army was so large as to be unwicldly in his hands, and his movements too tardy to be effective. Because he availed himself of this refusal, and of every other dilference he had with the War Department or the President, to disseminate a sentiment that he had been unjustly dealt with, and that the -administration was jealous of him. Because whenever a battle occurcd in vhich his firees were engaged, he was iiiiforruly away from the field, and never, until Antietam. saw the action, or diected in any way whatever beyond the nerest origin il directions for placing orps, so th; t in case of disaster he was toton hand to remedy it, and Ins corps omtnandcr-, had to manage for thems -Ives. Because he omitted two great opportunities of taking Richmond, when he could have done so with ease, that is, after the battle of Fair Oaks, an 1 after th. victory at Malvern Hill, thus indicating an incompetency to improve an advantage, which wa more signally exhibited after the victory of Antietam. Because after he had routed the rehol army at Malvenn Hill he ordered a dis astrous retreat, leaving his wounded in the enemy's hands and demoralizing our army when it had restored its prestige. Because after Antietam he represented that his army could not move fo waat of shoes, ite , when Burnside took the same army and moved it with the greatest celer;ty, snowing tuat .Meridian sougiit to J throw upon his army the burden of his i own in imposition to light. Because he was. intent, not upon ih" i crushing of the rebellion, but upon a j political campaign for the Presidency, ; which distracted his attention, weaken-i j his military policy, gave aid and comfort i to tlie enemy, strengthened the copper heads, and antagonize-! the national Administration so that instead of being the general in chief iu a war against tue reb-ls. he was merely a copperhead candidate for the Presidency. Because he surrounded himself with copperhead traitors, opposed to the war and in sympath with the eneniy. who conducted his affairs to suit themselves, influencing his letters and policy, and bo rendering it impossible tor the Administration to carry out its own views, although responsible for the management of affairs. Because he had tampered with the sentiment of the Army of Potomac, making it a mere personal machine, devoted to himstlf, and willing to eeive under no generals except of his choosing, instead of serving under the national flag and without regard to men; his object in such a course being evidently to prevent the government from removing him for incompetency or punishing any of bis insolent satellites, like Porter. Because, instead of doing anything to crush the rebtdlion, Im letters and orders showed that his whole mind was turned upon giving lessons in political matters upon general policy and civil affairs to President Lincoln. Generals Bnell and Halleck, and in fact all within his reach. Thus, instead of telling Halleck when to attack the foe and where, he was anxious only that the war should be conducted on a pro-slavery basis, and in like manner his orders to Boell were wasted in political stuff, while Grant was gaining the; victory of Fort Donelson in the aame department, though under Halleck ordex.

From the Catholie Telegraph,' Sepi. lath. , About Peace. God knows we desire our country's peace. We have nver said or done aught, wittingly, to put off the glad day one second. It is oar conviction, now, as it was three year ago. last May, that we cannot have peace without Government. The war inaugurated by the Southern aristocracy, to found an empire on the basis of slavery for labor, must be fought out, until either the laboring men, or the slave lords succumb. If the mudsills" go down, they will b trampled on; if tiie aristocrats, they may become reconciled to the Church's doctrine of the equality of men, and agree to pay wages to those who work for them. Three years go we opposed tho only peace that was offered to us namely, submission because it was the disruption of our fnion, the dishonor of our flag, the extinction of our nation, and the beginning of perpetual anarchy and war. To-day the aspect of the question is not changed, except in the results of military operations that have since occurcd. The same peace is offered now that was offered then, and there are manifest reasons for not accepting it now, over and above those that forbade its acceptance then. The basis of the peace now proposed in the South is the disruption of the States not merely North from South hut State from State throughout the entire Uni .m. The matter is thus stated lu th Kichmond Dispatch of August Slst : "Whenever a treaty of peace shall be made, it must be done solely on the basis of the future independence and sovereignty of each particular State. That must be preliminary to, and cannot be a subject of negotiation. The Confederate Government has no right to make any peace in which one inch of land belonging to any one of the States shall be given up. or one iota of its privileges as a sovereign be surrendered. This, bo far from being the subject of negotiation, must be the starting oint from which all negotiation must proceed. If the enemy refuse to concede to it, then we cannot negotiate with him. It follows that there can be no such thing as treating for peace in earnest, until every hostile sol dier shall have been drawn from our soil, and every hostile ship from our waters. Then we can talk of peaco and those matters of secondary importance. "It is wonderful in the meantime, that intelligent men like Vallandigham and Fernando Wood who must be fully acquainted with the Southern doctrine of State rights, and must know that all this blood has been shed in their defense. should think it possible to get us icto such a convention, or to restore the Union by the means of It. What we want first of all, is entire and separate independence." In the same sense speaks the Charleston Mercury, and tho Richmond Examiner of the 24th, which adds, in view of what the editor supposes to be the growing public opinion of the North "All see, scent, and fed, the near approach of peace and peace on any terms," Three y ears and a half ago we refused to accede to these terms, because, in the first place, they would not bring peace. On what principles can the independence of a State be allowed that would not sanction the independence of a Congressional District, or a county, or a township, or a family? None. Then, principle l-ing repudiated, the bond of union would be the law of tho stronger the same law that held Eat Tennessee and Northern Alabama in the Confederacy until they became a desolation ; and from this law there is no appeal against it, no remedy but war. In tho next place, we were unwilling to give up our national character and flag. We have believed in free institutions in the right of the poor man- to own the fruits of his labor and the flesh on hi bones. But the rebellion struck at this right, directly and avowedly.The rebel leaders wanted to destroy the Government because labor was free in it. Could wc, identified by sentiment, choice and position with the interests of the la boring classes, advocate their submis eion 'i ! - n, . ' What has occurred since to change tho state of the issue ? In the gigantic militarv operations of the past three years are we the beaten party V We caonotsee it." W have not taken Richmond, but Lee ban not taken Washington. . But we have taken Missouri, Arkansas.: .the Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, Georfi a, Tennessee, and West Virginia. 'We old two-thirds of the rebel territory and every port but one. We hare their navy reduce! to a few pirates, and their arnry filled up with little boys and old men of their count' y. Is thia a time, then, for ns to advise the free men of the North to go down on their knees before the Richmond aristocracy and beg for peace ? We have waded so far through this sea of blood that it ia nearer to cross than to go back. What the Richmond Dispatch says of all the blood shed to destroy the Government, is true of th blood shed to maintain it.. ! Every soldier dead in this war is a reason why it should be pat through. Every battle field cries for ot to stand firm until the cause of justice and law and human freedom shall be securely triumphant. This is the peace to which we look forward with hope and desire ; and to attain it, we believe it is the duty of every nan, now, as three yearn ago, to ataai by the Government. - - Who firat distinguished himself in this war by interfering, with pisonal liberty?
