The Union Candidates.
The National Delnoeratis Convention has
done its work, and done it well Il has
nominated the abest and most popular tick
ct ever presented for the suffrares of the
American people. Both candidates Gre in
the early prime of vigorous manhood; both
are men Of such decided power that they
made their mark as soon as they were c#lled
to ret in public capacity; both are, by in
stincts and education. gehtleinen; neither is
old enough to become incrusted With tfeiu-
dices which unfit him for playing useful
part in new circumstances, or to have sur
rounded himself with set of party hacks

The nomination of General GEORGE b.
MCCLELLAN Tor President of the United
States is a sure augury of triumph in the
election, and success in restoring the Union.
The personal qualiGGStiotis Which General
Mcclellan brings to the arduous task for
which he has been selected are of very
high order. A mind equally eomprehen-

subject or a great OCCASION has never been
at fault; generous warmth of disposition
which wins hosts Of friends; purity of pri-

breath Of slafIder has beer compelled to re-

The election of Abraham Lincoln was a.
trumphet of sedition and civil war; that of
George B. Mcclellan will be the herald of
reunion and peace. The people understand
this without argument; aud the nomination
made yesterday will be hailed throughout
the loyal States with sppntane0us fervor
OF hopeful enthusiasm such as never before
greeted the announcement Of presidential
candidate. Gen, McCleIan's election will
be welcomed by outp6iirihEs of popular graf

cling, which will be the precursor and oxcm-
plar Of those that will soon, follow to cele-
bratc the return of peace. Peace will then
be at hand, for the simple reason that, after
hsinauguration the character of the war will
have so changed that the Southern people
will no longer have a sufficient motive to
stand out. They will then see that submis-
sion to the Union does not involve the over
throw Of their institutions, the destruction
of their property, industrial Reorganization,
soci;I chaos, negro equality, and the name
less horrors Of servile war They now
feel that they are fighting, not only as every,
invaded people are said to fight, pro Gria ct
fcs but that owing to the peculiar organ
Nation Of their society, no other people ever
had aS much at stake either in the saiictity
Of their homes or the preservation Of their
property. The property of other invad ed
people can only be destroyed; theirs can be
converted into Instruments of wholesale ar
son, rape and murder, making men : most
terrible foes those of their own households.
1t is by appeals resting ar these corsidera
tons that the rebel leaders have been able
to stimulate the southern people to stretch
of sacrifice and endurance such as the world
has seldom witnessed These appeals have
been irresistible because the danger was felt
to be real, On the election of General Nc
Clelan, the Gverstrained energies 6f the
South will relax; with relief from impending
danger there will superyene great lassitude
and prostratlop; and a peace party will
spring up, as if by magic, in every part of
the South. In their strong yearnings for
peace, the door will be easily opened for re-
construction on terms consistent with the
honor of the government. al Ia n
The nomination of, Hen. GEORGE Fl.
PENDLETON for Vice President Of the,
United States is a deserved recogaitiou of
the merit, patriotism, and fidelity of an able
and a rising statesman. Though mot quite
forty. years of age, there are few men in pub
lie life in this country who have given better
proofs of political sagacity and a clear COM
prehension Of the necessities Of the country.

Congress, in which he. represents one Of the

and courtesy which commaRd the respect

him to preside in the Senate with dignity
