At meeting held at Harrisburg on the
evening of the 18th, General CAMERON
pledged his whole fortune to the defense
of Pennsylvania, and called upon the Gov
ernor to appoint General MCCLELLAN or
General FRANKLIN, COMMANDMENTS Chief
of the Pennsylvania forces. He blamed
the Government for not sending men to
aid in defence Of the Capital, when Penn
sylvania had so literally contributed men
and money for carrying on the war. He
said that while he had every confidence
in the President and the commander of
the department, such men as MCCLELLAN
or FRANKLIN, whose leadership the people
had every confidence in, would rally to
their standard every loyal man. He call
ed upon the Government to send for Gen.
MCCLELLAN, to take charge of the mill
tia of the State .o le5. oaE ~ .h-3 o
a1 We gives few dispatches, which we find
in the Chicago papers, to show what Gen.
MCCLELLAN was about during the panic:.
= ALBANY, June 16-Gen. Mcclellan arrived
here this afternoon, and proceeded directly to
Gov. Seymour's residence. They are in con-
sultation together this evening. '~ t'"
ALBANY June 16.-Gen. Mcclellan is in Al
bany for the purpose of aiding Gov. Seymour
in organizing and sending forward troops for
the defence of Pennsylvania. About IA, 600 are
already secured, and they are beginning to go
forward. The following additional regiments
are under orders to move: 9Th, 22d, 56th, 30th
and 34th. The volunteer regiments who are
here to be mustered out, offer their services
r ALBANY, N. Y, June 16.-The 9TH, 18th, 18th,
2Sth, 37th, 47th, Goth, 9th, 6Sth, 69th list and
74th regiments are under marching orders.
The 9TH and list leave tonight. ..b 7.Ii- 9l4
SIS Marching orders have also been issued to
$1,000 volunteers at New York; 800 at Roches-
ter, and 500 at Plattsburg. ,ra -r-.-,.t. gft
So it appears that those ..',copperheads"
Gova SEYMOUR and Gen. MCCLELLAN, had
$4,000 men ready at almost a moments
notice, to support the Government. =.
Position of the Illinois Democracy.
Elsewhere is given brief account of
the proceedings of the Democratic State
Mass Convention lately held at Springfield,
Illinois. The resolutions in condemnation
of the infringements upon the liberty of
speech, of the person, and of the press,
will meet the approval of right thinking,
conservative men Of all parties, and every
where. They do meet such approval, free
and out-spoken, on the part of the better
class of Republicans as well as Democrats.
In strange and painful contrast, how
ever, with these bold, just, and patriotic
views, is the craven, disloyal, and I'M
American demand for peace, and protest
against 'sthe further offensive prosecution
Of this war.p No wonder that the chival-
rio President of the Convention, the Hon.
WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, with the old
DOUGLAS spirit of patriotism in him, pro-
tested against such a sentiment as unwor-
thy of Democrats and American, citizens.
It is prostitution of the Democratic
name and organization to- commit the
party to policy SO cowardly and base.
Under peculiar circumstances, and in
moment of 0 excitement, such doctrines
may find adherents; but the brave masses
of the people will never tender peace to
rebels, until it can be offered by victorious
