Mcclellan Again In the Field,

The National Conservative Union Committee
at an adjourned meeting at Philadel phia, have
put in nomination for next President MAJ Gen.
Geo. B. Mcclellan, and have named Ex-Gov.
Campbell of Tennessee for Vice President. 1t is
important that the public should be apprised of
this fact Mcclellan is once more in the field,
and grand strategic changes of base in the poiti-
cal campaign 70. 1864 will undoubtedly be all the
rage.
1t is rather severe on the regular Sham De-
mocracy, who have been laying their corns for
two years to nominate Maj.,Gen. Geo. B. Nc
Clean for the Presidency to have their thunder,
thus early, in the very vestibule OF the campaign
as it we're, stolen from them, and We should be
glad to comfort them il We knew how. 70 have
their love thus wooed and won by old line Wings,
who now nave no politics, but live on the recol.
lection of what they formerly enjoyed, is cacu-
lated to arouse their jealousy and excite their
rage. The great unready has been ravished from
them by these ancient silver grey gentlemen, and
Put forward as the standard-bearer Of the party
which adheres to the dead and buried issues Ct
the past, leaving the ardent young Democracy no
resource but to follow the lead of these defunct
gentlemen, or abandon the Peninsular hero.
There is, in one respect, eminent fitness in this
nomination of Mcclellan. He always kept close
to his base of supplies and those who have put
him forward as political leader would be quite
lost away from theirs They are noted as good
livers, and, without their regular raons, would be
soon the sourest and most disconsolate of all pol
iticans and, in fact, the great majority of those
upon whom they rely for votes, are but camp fol-
lowers, soldiers of fortune, who fight for any one
who supplies them with strong meat and stimu.
latDg beverages.
We presume, however, that this is about the
last that we shall hear from Mcclellan, political
ly. II be had any chance for the leadership Of
modern Democracy before, the National Conser.
vative Union will ruin his prospects What lit.
tie popularity he had was nearly destroyed by
bis letter advocating the election OF Judge Wood
ward in Pennsy vania, aud this evidence that dead
men believe IN him will be death blow to him
Democracy, fthere is any Of it leltnext summer,
will not be foolish enough to NEEDLE with him
for they will prefer live man for leader, if they
bave any fight to make for the next presidency.
And so the Major General can be safely enough
left to the verdict of the ballot box, which will
finally show his Boosting friends in just what es-
timation the people hold this former military
and now political cheftain.
