. WM. T. COLEMAN, "a beading San Francisco
merchant, and an old line republican, has come
out in favor of the election of Mcclellan. At
the ratification meeting, held at San Francisco,
Mr., Coleman was one of the speakers. We
copy from his speech as reported in the S. F.
Flag:
''He said that he thought, that great as was
the crowd before him, that every man in it
might raise both his hands to heaven and swear
that he was a Union man. For himself he
wished to be strictly fferstRQd as being an
such When Mr. Lincoln was elected, though
he did not vote for him, he supported him. and
did so as long as he considered he was conduct
ING the war for the preservation of the Union !;
but when he turned it into war for the negro,
and issued his proclamation to take away the
property of the South, he knew that restora-
tion of the Union never could be effected by Mr..
Lincoln Mr.. Mcclellan on the other hand re-
spected the rights of the South, and viewed
them as enemies, not as serfs treated them as
enemies of war; and his having done so, should
he be elected could secure peace to the coun-
try. He looked upon Mcclellan as emphatically
the great man of the age he was not only a
great soldier but great statesman, a Christian
and gentleman, and was satisfied he would be
elected. Mr.. Coleman said the Government had
done absolutely nothing towards restoring the
Union had not done anything towards conquer
ing the rebels, Notwithstanding it had been fur
nished more men, money and materials, than
was ever placed at the disposal of a government
before. The people were tired of this state of
things. Peace was demanded and could be OBJ
tanned if we select men for office Of the right
stripe. If Mcclellan, who is both soldier and
a statesman, shall be elected President, he will
restore peace without any more bloodshed

would not naturally be looked to for words of
proverbial wisdom, but Thompson's Reporter is
responsible for the following, which will do well
to ponder on during hot day:
Don't have too much commisseration for the
accomplished, amiable and charming wife of a
defaulter until you know that she has not, by
extravaganza and pride, induced him to use
money not his own, or to speculate with view
to crafty her wishes.
Don't think you are making a bargain when
you cheat q customer, for in the long run all
all such operations will turn out quadruple los
ses.
Don't lend money at too great a shave for the
borrower must succeed or he'll never be able to
pay.
Don't neglect your regular business, thinking
to do better at some outside enterprise; the
chances are ten to one you will not succeed
Don go to law in hurry exhaust the legal
remedies.
Don't be too smart; it is the instinct of man
to give the extreme smart ones Of both genders
a wide berth.
Don't be as the dog in the manger, for some
bull may give you toss.
Don't Judge until you have heard both sides
of the case.
Don't get on stills in prosperity, nor on your
knees in adversely; for what goes up must
come down. but what goes down don't always
come up
Don't condemn others for their inherited pc
culiarities for could you see yourself as you
see others, your condemnation might come
| home.
