Weed that hs anxiety SINCE the election was
greater than ever before that this war should he
vigorously prosecuted. Since that time, The removal
Of Gen. Mcclellan and the suspension OF the drat aao
produced, rs he had stated, come eribarrassmeHt
in the prosec uion Of the war, but be still believed
that the war should be carried under any general
and Richmond should be TAKEN and taken Of once.
Dir. Van Buren, proceeded 10 discuss the Preaidents
Proclamation. He would assume that the President
was honest. True, the name of " Honest" Abe was
suspicious lie bad never heard Azariah {. Fiage
called Honest Azariah. or Stephen Allen called
Honest Stephen. [" Honest Fernando WocdF
Great laughter throughout the room. Mr.. van
Buren, accepted the proposition os the President In
regard to the determination OF the Rebeliious States
by representation non-representaon IN Congress
1t was necessary, therefore, for the President TO
relieve the citizens of tho States from armed
invasion, In ord that they might 80 home
and bold the elections, and for ttis he must
hurry up his war. Unless this were mere mock
cry, the President must be held 70 have desired that
they should have the time to 60 home aud elect Sen
ators aud Representatives. And Mr.. Van Buren,
ventued TO cay that if the President would nmedi-
atty grant them an armistce, they w0nld do 1t.
When they got to Congress they should call Con-
veDt0D Of the people Of the United States, under
Article D OF the Constitution. La such Convention
the Union Of the old 81 States could he restored.
lie thought namberof amendments might be found
necessary. II wonld not be auss 10 alter the term
eligible thereafter. If only thirty-two States
or thirty should unite IN rathyiOg these
amendments, this would be peaceful
constitutional revolution. Then this Convention
would declare when Al election should be held TOR
"a Preadenl Of the new Union. That the Southern
people would desire Il new election be had very
little doubt that no concnrred in that desire he had
just as ltle doabt. The President Of the United
States bad served for lS months and had two years
and hulf TO serve. The President, no doubt, be-
lieved that his had endeared him 10 the coun-
try, which would be anxious 10 rceieet hlni. lie
(lir. Van Barep) should hot concur in that; he had
very clear conviction that he shouli support Geo.
Il. Mcclellan for President. Immense cheedDg.l
lie wa young man, comparatively new 10 the
public service. Wadsworh tald he was the Sd
ueriutendent Of Il secondclass raj road. He thr
Van Blrenl thought he would DO wisely 10 resume
that occupation. lie had better, in Mr.. Van Buren,
iutgmeut, il view Of his utter inability 10 save bis
country resign his position and return 10 bic pre-
vous pursuit. But be Mr. Van Bur NJ would not
presume TO advise hin Gen. McClellhnl. lie never
had ret eyes upon Gen. Mcclellan, and be had 10
desire 70; what ho stated was hW own conviction.
Ne looked upon bin one Of the most extraordinary
men ol tie age. lie believed tie Governments bad
made a fatal mistake, II they wished 20 90 on with
the war; but If they thought that Tue time TO make
peace wrs when both tectlOns thought they had
gained n victory and II they wished ~ restore the
Union and to make hcClsll.n President, then they
had done exactly the right thing. CheeFs.l
lie nominated George u. McCle Ian for tlo
next President. Loud cheers Ii was not amiss
that in the rooms OF the Young Mems Democratic
AfsOe alton, where 60 many great popular move
ments bad been inanguated, the meme Of Mcclellan,
iu connection with ihn high Office, should have been
frat pfesened, and he believed witl very great conf.
