Gen. Mcclellan.
The New York Herald saws :

The New York Herald says:
''If the factious Abolition leaders do not
speedily draw in their horns they may find in
Gen. Mcclellan such Tartar az the Long Par
lament found in Cromwell. and the Council of
Five Hundred found in Napoleon Bonaparte.
Nor will the fear Of foreign interference have
much weight with brave and prudent general
at the head Of an army Of $50, 900 men, whose
numbers can rapidly be swelled TO a million"
Good for brother Mcclellan! A Crom
we'll or Napoleon-wondcr if he will
choose the office of Protector or Emperor !?
The latter we should think would be most
in his line, and what nice time we should
all have crowding to the Coronation Of
Charley the First, or Jimmy the Second, or
Billy No. One, whichever his name may be
No doubt in. that better day a coming
Duke Gordon will be the first of the no.
Die house of Bennett; and perhaps his I'm
perial Highness Rec McCle Ian will adopt
for his Coat Of arms, bloodhound and i.
pair of hand cuffs elegantly encircled by a
slave whip. If he summarily disposes of
Congress in vindication of his royal will to
catch slaves without let or hindrance such
insignia would be highly appropriate.
Of course this threat of the Herald is
without direct authority from Mcclellan
but he has given ground for suspicion of
his fidelity to the Government he has
sworn to support. A man who openly
prefers the perpetuation Of slavery to the
suppression Of rebellion is half rebel, and
if he does not make slavery the first OBJ
ject Of his care why should he threaten
to resign and refuse his services to his
country in carrying out the will OF her L.
gally constituted Representatives p?
If the people, by their representatives
declare that they will not maintain an ar
my of negro catchers and Mcclellan is so
devoted to negro catching that he cannot
command an army ofany other kind he
is as much secessionist as those who re-
signed because they were not suited in
the legally expressed will Of the people, in
the choice of Preside mt.
We greatly mi stake the temper Of the
men who compose our army if any large
number Of them could now be used to
break down the Government they have
volunteered to defend with their lives, but
what they may do after year or two of
Mcclellan discipline and Grand Parades
is different matter.
Two hundred thousand men who have
permitted themselves to be converted into a
police force for catching stray old women
and runaway gables and compelling poor,
ignorant men who are 10y al to their coun-
try, to work, without wages, for the bene-
fit Of traitors, can have no idea of the
depths Of degradation they may reach
Military discipline is no: highly conducive
to love Of country and respect for civil au-
thorities and whep man gets down in the
social and moral scale low enough to be a
slave-catcher he has not much further to
fall, and we think the people had better
keep an eye on "the Young Chieftain"
tie noble Prince Mcclellan, heir apparent
to the 2perial crown Of the United States
of North America.
