Our eection wit bleaaed with a refreshing rain on Haturdav afternoon, the firat that we ' liave had for a number of weeks. Weare requested to aunounce tliat Rev. G. W. M. l.'iei^bton will preach at llount Caimel on I tbc 3d Kobbalh in tbia month. We publish elauw here an Abstract of the proceedings of the Chicago Convention, iuclu- ' ding the platform. Gun. McClellan is the nominee for President anil I'endlelOii for Vice President. The platform is of lar greater con* et mu i.ce than the men, ami that, as is usual in audi caeca,- ia bioail enough to admit of a va rietv of conatruolione. It bieathcs a spirit of peace thiouglioot, but peace upon the basis of a Fedcial Union of the States, litis, perhaps, ia as much as could have been expected at litis I time, and as fat as it would Imve been politic for the Convention to go. The platlomi says nothing ol a piusceiiiiou of the war, ill the event the South will not make peace upon that basis; and it speaks of the preset vation ot j ouie ivigme, one m 1110 cardinal principle* ot | wlncli ia the light weene uitol govern tlienirelv< a. 1 lie platloini Wu* adopted alinoat ii'iaiiiuioualj, and it ia but bur 10 infer that any I iriiu to whirl, \ aliai d grin,, Wood, Long and Olliei ? acceeded nieaua peace.

Not only do tiie aigns point to thi*, no far as the reipreaaiiMi of puhitc opinion ia cotu-ernetf, but I the i.eceaeity ol parly contrat will require it ?

It would ! I merely have provided another opposition war candidate, tiie effect of which would be to divide vote* with Prrmerit, and elect Lincoln.
