The Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee, in his labored address to prove that
there are one hundred and twenty seven thousand
nine hundred and seventy-sev OPT SD eds
loyal" persons in Indiana-that is, Democrats
squeezes ont a list of seventy three Democrats
who "gave an active and warm support" to the
Abolition faction at the late election in this
State. Of this seventy three persons who are
said to have abandoned their political friends,
Just one-half of them are knOUn to hold office
from the General or State Governments, and
many others, no doubt, filling little places in
the commissariat, where no commission is neces-
sary to accomplish "the one thing needful. -
Others are put down as deSerters from the Demo
cratic party, who are knOtcR true and loyal
Democrats, and who voted the whole Demo
cratic ticket while others have written to their
friends in this State rejoicing in the success of
the glorious old Democratic party of Indiana"
The Chairman Of this bogus Union Committee
although a man of letters, as Postmasters gener
ally are-is as liable to be deceived in men as
any one else. His list will have to be revised.
The address may do to keep up the sinking
spirits of his friends in distant States; but in
Indiana his party is doomed-never 10 rise
again.

OuestiOn Settled.

1t is now definitely settled. by authority of the
Republican Central Commute for Indiana, that
serenity three Democrats voted the Abolition
ticket at the recent election. These were, how
ever, the "most able and influential men in our
ranks. for a shabby Democrat is always great
man when hejoins the AbOltionistsl Even Gov
ernor MoRroN-though Democrat till he fell in
love with the Know Nothings-was only reason
ably great man in ranks; but when he joined
"SAM," aud cursed the Dutch and Irish, he be-
came hugely magnificent in the eyes OF the in
tolerant faction which so recently bestrode this
land.
Now, that Governor WRIGHT caught seventy
two Democrats, by the aid of Governor morton
and his valuable commissioners, can't the Chair
man of the Republican Central Committee tell
us how many conscientious Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket at the October electionf If he
will figure that up, he will be able to account for
the defeat of his party without racking his brains
about imaginary frauds.

McCIeIla as speech at TrentOn--A Yer
batim Report.
Correspondence OF the n. Y. World.


TRENTON, n. j., Nov. Ia.
With extreme exerton only could
Gen. Mcclellan be brought to the front. so tire
mendous was the rush to see him. He lit
orally lifted almost from his feet as he reached
the door. and while the band PLAYED the e" Star
Spangled Banner" the vast multitude rent the
welkin with cheer upon cheer, which echoed far
away down ali the neighboring streets. The
ladies at the windows waved handkerchiefs and
flags. and clapped their bands in honor Of one
who only grows dearer to the people the more he
is traducel and betrayed.
The general was himself vsibly moved by this
spontaneous and unmlstakabls outburst OF feeling,
and began his remarks in 4 trembling, although
clear and ringing tone:
my friends-for | feel that YOU are all my
frends--I stand before you. not a maker of
speeches, not as politician, but simply as a sol
der. | came among you to seek quiet and re
pose for briet period, and since the moment Of
my arrival have resolved nothing but evidences
of the deepest friendship. l have been too long
associated with the gallant troops of New Jersey
in the field to feel myselfa stranger here From
the instant when first assumed command the
SOUS of your noble State were with me. From
the siege of Yorktown to the battle of Antietam
they ever brave. faithful and efficient On
numerous occasions | witnessed their undaunted
courage, and that of the overture and daring
L
Gus Kearr ey, who sealed with their life blood
their devotion to their State and country"
Here the demonstrations of the immense con-
cours Sc became so uncomfortable that the General
was obliged to desist from speaking, and it was
many breathless minutes before he could resume
his remarks. At length silence partially
stored and the General concluded
II have but one word more, my friends. to say;
it is to advise you, while your soldiers are fight
ing in the field, TO see that the war is prosecuted
for its proper Obects-the preservation of the
Union and the Constitution. and the maintenance
OF your nationality and your rights as citizens"
Such is the verbatim report Of Gen. McCle
lan's significant words You will perceive that
it differs, i'm some essential particulars from the
hasty language OF the telegraph.
The emphasis and manner of the concluding
part of the last sentence distinct and
marked ms it was possible .or human voice or
gesture to make them, and il was understood by
every man in the swaying multitude. The shout
that hailed it would have made even our vast
crowds of the Cooper Institute and City Hall
Park culver with envy. 1t was wild. unanimous,
spontaneous, and renewed the answer to the Gen.
erals appeal again and again. "A thrilling chord
in the heart of "Old Jersey" was evidently
touched. and it gave out its response IN master
tones.
Old men and young men in the crowd clapped
each other on the back, and warmly shook hands
in their geeful satisfaction at an utterance as
sSmptomatic and important as that famous order
to the Army of the Potomac after the battle of
Antetam.

The Proclamation 10 be Modified.

The Chicago Post says: We have information
from private sources at Washington which war
rent us in saying that the policy enunciated in
the Presidents proclamation of freedom" will
be modified in his forthcoming message to Con
gress. The proclamation itself will not be with
drawn, there being no occasion for its withdraw,
even should the President resolve upon a policy
its very opposite, nasmuch its vitality depends
wholly upon his future action. But he will
recommend for the approval of Congress certain
measures amendatory of the con6scation act,
which will cover the whole subject of the slave
property of rebels, and which will obviate any
further action on his part under the proclamation
The policy he will recommend will be es-
sential modification of the military abolition
policy, and the alternative will rest with Con-
gress of adopting it fnality,'' or of looking
in vain for the edct which will vitalize the proc.
lamation on the first of January.
We shall expect to see not little loud talking
among the extreme radicals in Congress when
the message is read TO them. But of this they
may be assured in advance-the President will
not attempt to carry out the proclamation. He
has made up his mind not to-.

that nothing under the sun will ever induce that
man to swerve from what he knows to be h s

A. H. conner, Romance.

A genius in Indiana has undertaken to show
that the late elections in that State were carried
by fraud BY comparing the votes at previous
elections. he makes out that there were about
eighteen thousand more votes pOllei than there
were in the State. There might have been some
logic in that if full vote was given at the previ
Que elections But the writer does not pretend
to settle that point. 1t would be easy TO show
frauds i'm all the States at every exciting election
when full vote comes out, although, by taking
the register, it might be shown that all the votes
were not pOlled. But if there were fraudulent
votes, how is il shown who got theml Well, this
writer goes into detail. citing the cases of numer-
Gus counties from which large numbers of volun
teers are gone. and vet the Democratic vote has
increased, and the Republican vote has decreased.
Of course all the world knows that must have
been the case, otherwise the Republicans would
have carried the State. That is just what the
Democrats expected would happen before the
election. They expected to beat the Republi-
cans for they expected their vote in the counties
generally would increase. and that OF their oppo-
nents would decrease That is the way party
beaten one year carries IL the next. IL is pre-
cisely what would happen If large number Of
men change their votes from side to the other.
Ifthis writer had taken a complete register Of
the votes carefully made out in one county, and
then showed much larger vote, il would have
been tolerable proof that there was fraud some
where; but then the question would remain. did
the successful or defeated party poll these fraudu-
lent votes?
1t is a little marvellous that if frauds were COM
mtted in many counties they were not detected
somewhere. In past elections the Democrats
have proved frauds upon their opponents in Indi-
ana. not by vague speculations. but by testimony
to the point
Now, il is little too much 10 tell us Of frauds
all over the State everywhere. and that Judges
and Sheriffs in the various precincts discovered
them nowhere.
The whole story is marvellous, and the defeated
party only damages itself by the preposterous
yarn Such extensive frauds are not only i'm
probable. but impossible In large cities conside-
rable frauds may be committed; but in rural dis
tricts, where the mass of voters in Indiana live,
this story of fraud is absurd. Besides, If such
frauds possible the Republicans are the
men to put them in practice. They have shown
their expertness in il before; and when party
shows no scruples in overriding laws and COnsti-
tutions to get at an end, they might well be sus-
pected Of putting all the names they could pick
up i'm the baliot-box. Inasmnch God is on
their side pious fraud of this sort would be
quite reasonable, and, indeed. required of them

MILITARY NECESSITIES VS.. Political NEcEssI
TIEs.-The Washington special OF the World
says: 81 1t is stated on good authority that the
main object of Gen. Haleck's visit to the army
of the Potomac, last week, was to impress upon
Gen. Burnside the necessity for an immediate al
vance. Indeed, he told the General that he
must move at once. for political as well as for
military reasons. The new commander of the
army of the Potomac instantly replied, in sub
stance. that as long as its movements were under
his control, they would be governed by military
necessities exclusively; that if they were to be
controlled by political necessities. he must ask
that some other General be appointed in his
place, under whom he would most cheerfuly
serve. Gen. Burnside added that he was as much
surprised at the transfer of the command of the
army of the Potomac from Gen. Mcclellan to
himself. the general public seemed TO be, and
as long rs he retained il he wished to have the
sole direction os its movements:

I.He n SecesxionIsti

SAYS the New 4 Ork Evening fOSt.
Mr.. Il. A. Hendricks, of Indiana, who aspires
to succeed Jesse d. Bright in the Senate of the
United States, is Secessonist of the first water.
In speech made By him last year he said:
"Th he first and highest interest Of the North
west is ia the restoration and preservation of the
Union upon the basis of the Constitution, and
the deep devotion of her Democracy to the cause
Of the Union is shown by its fidelity in the past;
but if the failure and folly and wckedness of the
party in power render Union impossible, then
the mighty Northwest must take care of herself
and her own interests. She must not allow the
arts and fineness of New England to despoil her
of her richest commerce and trade, and to render
her labor wholly subservient to an Eastern Sec
tional and selfish policy-Eastern lust of power,
commerce and gain"
We do not precisely see how this makes Mr.
Hendricks a secessionist of the first water any
other water Ii is difficult for one to express at
tachment TO the Union more strongly than he ex-
presses il in this extract. Beyond that, if the
failure and folly and wickedness of the party in
power shall render Union impossible, he simply
proposes that the Northwest shall take care of
her own interests. In other words, If New Eng
land fanaticism shall succeed in permanently d.
viding the Union, he proposes that the Northwest
shall not settle down into playing the part of tail
to the New England kite.
If that be treason, Abolitionism will have 10
make the most of it.
Ii would have been a great remedy for New
England fanaticism f il had been long ago un.
derstood that. il the old Union should be broken
up. New England sectional interests, which have
had such extraordinary protection in the Union.
would be left out in the cold in future combina-
tions.
Mr.. Hendricks uttered the unmistakable voice
Of the Northwest The voice is for the old
Union so long rs there shall be the remotest
hope OF its restcrition; but If New England
fanatclsm and folly and wickedness shall make
restoration impossible the Northwest will take
care of herself aud her own interests.-[ Chicago
