The Liberator

A Democratic Sketch of the Chicago Convention. The Democratic editor of the Green Bay Advocate, who supports McClellan, but finds it bitter work swallowing the treason with which he is identified and associated, says of the Chicago Convention, which he attended:-

"There was no lack of traitorous talk there, outside of the Convention. Speech after speech was made to the assembled thousands, full of cowardly words, wanting in all patriotism, all chivalry, all love of country, even all decency and manliness. This war for the life of the Union was denounced as the climax of wickedness; the Southern people in arms against us were held up as martyrs bleeding in the cause of right; and talk which should make the ears of every American tingle with shame was as free on the streets and in the hotels of Chicago as the turbid and offensive current of its river."
