HI,CL AND CRANE.

N'CL AM "2~k->H'
We observe through the me.'iRn OF
cur exchanges strong eT'rt being
made to bring ont Gems. Mcclellan
and Grant rs the De;n or"atic elr i IA
ties FIR Presilens AMI Vice President
IN 1864. The New Y-rk U'orh socms
to DC anon. tho lea Hing organs alvoca.,
ting this strange procellre. Strange
VIC say, because not one Of them claim
either Of these gentlemen to he in s9ch
sympathy with the DemNcra'ic party
as to insure them in ahtaIninc or wa,-
rant the democracy in giving them it's
suppor:. The only arrnmont yet al
vancel is paL,cy. POLICYM P,i'i-
ca'ly We en- Horse neither Of The men or
the policy that w,u'i f,rcc then upon
the party. n, man that h, w, his
laureis as General in an intcrnccinc
war. wagca for the overthrow Of slavery
can he anything hut the last and psor-
est choice of the party to u.s. We be =
lievc as a General. Mcclellan ranks rs
our best: but that he hal not sage city
enough to see when the Cr;;tenlcn
Compromise vas rejected and war for
ced upon the country, tina. the &nnihi-
alton Of slavery, even fit invoked the
destruction Of the Union was Its !noar-
ing. can never BE our choice.
Gen. Grant accor,lin, to g letter
read BY Senator Wilson of Mass. Ia.
ring speech delivered by him before
she American Anti Slavery S,c,ety. in
Philadelphia. . few days since, upon Inc
occasion Of its third leca Ie annivorsa-
ry induIges in such language IS It's:
q have never been an an.i-slavcrv nan.
but try to jldgs justly Of what see. !!
made .p nv mind. when th:a VAR ,Iened
that the North and South could only live 70.
getiicr In peace. rs one nation. by lie re Il
free nation. Slavery. which constituted the
cornerstone offs s1:-cai.cd Confcderacy j.
knocked out. ana it wi! take more men in
future 10 hol the i,lAsk rae, rs sIavcs tina,
to put down the rebellion Ai.,h as desire
p.aco. ! am opposed to It until this question
Of slavery is forever settled
If that is democracy then in the
name Of renson what constitutes aholis-
ionism? It is aiming at the policy
that the President alvoc,tes; ABOLITION
Of slavery even if it involves the ohlit-
Grafton Of Ssate constitutions to effect
it. For ourself, we frankly say that if
this language imputed t. Gen. GRAFT,
was uttered by him, we will never sub
port him for any political c:Fica. IF
the humiliation Of State constitutions:
the destruction Of civil liberty ann the
establishment Of & centralized military
despotisnl is what al part;-s are n al
voc.to for the sake Of POLICY during
tn, next canvass, then no narty cau
give US cana,latehcttcr frr that PIP
rnsc than Mr.. Linc,la. B,si les he
now throws off all DISCUSSES. in effect
announcing this rs the object Of the
war. thus putting these p,licy pe:s in
she dilema Of continuing in the service
TO accomplish this avowea policy Of the
war. For names We care not fig:
and shall pay no attention to them
where the acts of MI tcnl directly ael
inevitably to produce the same results.
We should prefer the bold revolution
ist to his hired mcnl,cants. IF We are
70 surrender our principles as party
70 policy we will as soon have abplit-
ionism unlilutcl as sugar coated.
On Christmas nj ght Pratt Nellace

gnn Hotel which was largely attended
by tho people Of our own AMI adj lining
towns. The Society is reported to
hare conducted itself most commenda.
