DoR'T LlKR cCLELLAN.-Mc Masters, Of the
Freeman's Journal, one OF the bright lights of
the Peace Democracy il New York, is mot at all
euamored with the Mcclellan nomination. lie
says in bis Freemaus Journal:
"Deggars must not be choosers. We are re-
duced as people to a beggarly condition, and
may, therefore, take a beggarly platform. 1t is
not even half loaf, but better the heel of q
sour loaf of dirty table than absolute stnrya-
tion. Let no mistake be made as to
tho facts. McClellan's nomination fell on the
west like cold equinoctial storm. When il be.
came certain that he would be nominated thou
sands of western men went home in disgust.
II Mcclellan is for peace we will
support him. II he is not for peace then we
arc not for Mcclellan"
"Call ye that backing your friend :"
