Events have shown the cor- reciness of Richmond’s predictions. The Chi- cago Convention adjourned, with the peace men appareiitly satisfied with the result. No sooner had the body of the convention taken its de;arture than there were rumors that the campaign would be conducted on the war plat‘orm® But a few days elapsed before Gene- j val MeClellan’s letrer of acceptance made ! itis appearance, repudiating the Chicago plat- i form, and leaving the peace-at-any-price faction floundering im the water without a | plank to stand upon, The platform was de- | molished, and its rotten timbers floated off with | the worthless rubbish of the past.. The leading rebel sympathizers and their organs set up a general how! over McGlellan’s letier, talked about another convention and the nomination of a secession candidate; but this met with no response from the magsesof the party, and they were soon forced io abandon that idea and crawl iato their holes, They have thus been unable to inaugurate a separate move- ment, and are practically extinguished, s« far as this political campaign is concerned. Even Governor Seymour, in his Philadelphia speech, repudiated the Chicago platform and praised our armies and the navy for the glorious vic- tories they have achieved. The aboltionists. and extreme men on tho other side underteok to build up a formidable organizstion against the republicans. They held a convention at Cleveland, and nomi- nated their candidates; but no sooner had he canvass commenced in earnest than they were forced out of the field, and the whole radical erew were compelled to either cat their own words or hide themselves away and keep out of public sight. Their fanatical tirades about slavery are no longer heard, or even noticed, by the peopfe. They can no longer raise an issue on that questior, it is, as @ political issue, dead and buried. Their political thunder is gone, their capital destroyed, and they have been forced to retire. A few such meo as Wade, Chase, Pomeroy and Andrew keep up their growling; but it amounts to nothing.

It makes no difference wiieh is succeseful ig the Presidential race.

The election of one or the other may perhaps affect some side issues, but | it makes no difference as to the one great que: | tion beiore the country. Tne campaign has thus far been a great uprising of the people against tue enemies of the country. The peo- ple have moved in such @ formidable way that the abolition disunionists on one side, and se- cessionists on the other, have been appailed at the spectacle and are dumb before it. They are silenced by the earnestness of the people, and begin to see the forebodings of their own fate if they continue their revolutionary course. Thus a glorious victory hag already been achieved as the effect of the Presidential can- vase. The country is no longer embarrassed by the revolutionary tirades of the abolition disunionists or -the secessionists of the North. The extreme and revolutionary fac- tions of both partics thave been extinguished. The result of the election caunot fail to be advantageous to the future interests of the country. Campaicn Brutinoscats.—The party organs on both’ sides continue their indecent war of personalities. Nothing is too slanderous or ab- surd to suit their ends, Thus the Journal of Commerce of yeaterday indulges in a general fling against the personal habits of the Presi- dent and other members of his family, while the Tribune rehashes the McClellan gunboat story in the form of @ statement from the late rgeon of the United States afeamer Jacob Bell, which bears inherent evidence of being @ coinage. What purpose can be served by such infractions of propriety and decency?
