The Mcclellan Meeting in New YOrt,

On Wednesday evening the Democracy
of New York got up magnificent demon
stration in behalf of General Mcclellan.
The meeting is thus described:
As day darkened into evening, the BOOM
ing of gun, music from the band, and the
streaming of rockets, gave note of prepar-
alton, and by s o'clock monster meeting
of several acres extent had assembled The
crowd amused itself by cheering for Nc
Clellan, and its surgings TO and Iro seemed
to be really fearful Indeed, tho assem-
blage appeared to prefer hearing its own
brogue to the voice of the speakers. -
We append few choice extracts from
the speeches delivered:

HIRAM EETCHUM ON THE CHICAGO CONVEX
TIoN AND GRANT '.E
I hope and trust that if any man in this
state of New York dsres to go and tam
per with that convention, in order to pro-
cure the nomination of any other man,
that you, the people, will mark him. and
wheneverthat man comes before YOU in an
election, work against him, 90 against him,
because you may know that he will cheat
you again. 1 see that L have been adj
vised in the Herald of this day and the
day before, to say something about Gen
eral Grant. [Cheers.1 Gentlemen, have
this to say. have never agreed with the
men who run down General Grant be-
cause he has been unsuccessful in this
l believe it has not been his
but old Abe's. TGroans |
believe that the men sacrificed in that
were sacrificed by Mr.. Stanton;
but L will say this, that nothing has oc-
Cured to show that General Grant has
been superior to General Mcclellan.

The only man who really loved white |
men was G. B. Mcclellan, who took care of |

There was not one redeeming feature m. the !

lR. ELI P, MORTON PROVES THAT NJ 'cLEL-
Ian Is AN AVAILABLE MAN.
But the friends Of General McCllan do |
lot present his name as a candidate for the |
Presidency from the mere impulse of affec-
ion. They believe him to be from the
most careful e,timate of the elements that
must enter into the next campaign. the
most available candidatefor the Presidency.
Let US look at New York for instance. In |
he first place, 1t must be remembered that
hat conservative element which, whenever
Unlisted with the Democracy, has given to
IS ticket success, is unanimously for Geo. b.
Mcclellan. Then the youth ofthe State that
i've fire and energy to all political move
nests, are for Mcclellan. The soldiers, /
