tho Meeting ut Altoona.
New YoRK, Sept. 25 The Herald's special
from Altoona, Pennsylvania, concerning the
meeting OF Governors, says: Gov Morgan do.
cIined the invitation, not considering the gath.
erlng apoliiical one, as he has already for ward.
60 more troops In proportion than any other
state under the two last cAlls.
The conduct Of the war has been tho tonic.
Two propositions have been discussed They
were: frat, to demand the Immediate removal
OF Mcclellan; second, the approval Of the
Presidents emancipation proclamation.
These propositions have been discussed dur
Ing the afternoon, Gov. Andrew making fully
an hours speech ln favor OF both He urged
that the removal of Mcclellan should be de-
manded by this body. He Was asked who will
take bis placer His reply was, that Fremont's
staff was perfect and ready.
ls not the reply the request of the meeting
OF the New England Governors, with the New
York committee, at Providence7
Gov. SpraRue also urged the removal of Nc
Clellan, and showed by his remarks that he has
gone over, body, soul and breeches, to the in
fernal Republicans.
Gov. Tod strongly opposed tho proposition,
declaring that the people would riso up en-
n'Gsso and repudiate il.
Gov. Curtin also opposed it. stating that II it
had not been for Mcclellan the rebels would
have been successful in Maryland and that he
fought the battle of AntietGiu before his rein
foTcements arrived, and was successful, with
force much iess than those engaged against
him.
Gov. Bradford declared that even if there
was blemish In McClellan's character, this
was no time to demand his removal He bo-
lieved him to be the best General in the coun.
try; shat ho had the perfect and unqualified
confidence Of oil loyal men in Maryland, as he
should have in every loyal State.
At the evening session Governor Andrew
offered preamble and resolutions, hailng with
qualification the emancipation proclamation of
the President; also embodying his views on the
question OF Generals in O modified form.
Gov. Tod offered a substiAte Of more con-
servative nature. The real points have not IS
yet transpiFed.
Gov. SalOmOn offered still another substitute,
when lengthy debate took place in reference
to the several documents, which was participa-
ted in by Andrew, Tod, Krkwood and Brad
ford The debate became somewhat animated.
Gov. Andrew insisted upon bis extreme views,
while Gov. Bradford met the whole matter by
stating that the proclamation would amount TO
nothing beyond the lines of our armies, further
than it would be handle to the rebels and be
made rallying cfy against U.s.
