1 would give my influence to McClel-

if would give my influence to McClel-
Ian. Said l, Gentlemen, no; don't
want a Cabinet appointment. 1 know
Offorty appointmentsalr already" Laugh
ter. l reminded them of celebrated
reformer who, being taken up to a high
mountain was offered the whole world,
but the fact was the poor devil didn't
own a cabbage garden. [Renewed laugh
teri Mcclellan may have his New Jer-
sey cabbage garden, but doubt whether
he will get a single electoral vote. EAp-
plause.] They are trying to make Nc
Clellan out war Democrat, but he has
proved himself nothing more nor less
in his letter of acceptance than a politi-
caltrickster. Applause 1t is neither
fish nor fowl, black nor white, neither
male nor female. 1 believe Lincoln
himself would havegone for loyal man
nominated at Chicago. [Applause.] I
told the Democrats very plainly that
would stump the Union against them if
they did not nominate the right kind of
a man. [Applause.] / don't want to
belong to the party that don't cheer
when Sheridan gets victory.
There are only two parties in the
country now-the one cheers when
Sheridan captures fOrty-three pieces of
artillery, and the other don't cheer at
all except when Sheridan looses forty
three pieces of artillery. Applause.
The one party puts up gold, and the
other pulls it down. don't say that the
Democratic party are traitors, but | do
say their leaders would sell the whole
people if they could only get into office.
Applause The Constitution don't
say 1--WE, the politicians" but 1--WE, the
people," Now, 1 say down with the
politicians, and up with the people, and
until we get that accomplished we will
never settle this fight. The people are
generally right, except in New York.
In the time of the New York riots the
voice of the people was the voice of the
phrase. This world is composed of two
classes of men-the positive and the
negative. The negative man goes down
stream, and nobody takes any notice of
him. The positive man goes upstream,
and everybody is looking at him; and /
believe that when a civil revolution
comes in the North, the Democratic
party will find out that absence of body
is better than presence of mind. Laugh
teri They had better get their breast
plates behind, for they will be apt to be
wounded, lis their backs will be turned
to the foe. Great Laughter / told
General Ward the chairman Of the DEM
ocratic Committee for Pennsylvania
that if he didn't withdraw Mcclellan /
would stump the State for Lincoln, and
would defeat this gunboat General by
fifty thousand. [Applause.] Barlow
said to me, in New York, the otherday,
that I went for the Republicans because
they paid me for it. "Well, suppose
they dc" said I II happen to be agen-
tleman of fortune, and could buy your
whole concern out" Laughter. The
States Government to was private es-
cort from St Louis to Illinois. Laugh
ter The Democratic machine is run
by England. The Irish and the Fenian
Brotherhood have been sold out by the
seof Rothschild to England. Every
paper in England except the Star and
Daily Neaos is for Mcclellan. Can't
these Irishmen see how they are being
led to the slaughter? st. Paul said,
''The Jew first, then the Gentile."
ELaughter.] Now it is Belmont, the
Jew, first, and the Christians after
wards. Protestant England once united
with Catholic France to help Moham-
medan Turkey to squeich out Grecian
Russia. I thought that was singular
copartnership, but the most singular
of all is this sight we now see of four
millions of Catholics led up to the
slaughter by their old friends the Jews.
[Applansae.]
England with making this war, with
nominating Mcclellan, and that Bel
mont, the agent of Rothschild, is now
sending money into Pennsylvania in
order that England by force of circum-
stances may escape paying one hundred
millions of dollars to America. The
spealer,i in taking comprehensive view,
referred to the point that it is not at all
unlikely that England and France will,
through MaXimilian, acknowledge the
Southern Confederacy. But perhaps all
this will be defeated by the loyal people.
Already greatparty sabout to be formed
in New York that is bound to relieve the
Democratic party from its present de-
pressing embarrassments, by taking it
from the power of its English-J ewish
leaders. The Democratic party must be
taken from the hands of Belmont and
the Rothchilds. General Dix will speak
he is in favor of the movement he will
place the party on its proper base. We
must be in earnest in this work. We
want all good men to join in one COM
mon brotherhood in the north. We
not save the country unless he receives
the support of us all. We must drop all
party issues. In the name of our cOun-
try let us all rejoice in all the efforts
made to keep our Union together. Let
us give three cheers for the Union, the
Constitution and the laws. Three cheers
were given by the immense mass of peo-
pie present. Great cheering was now
given for Mr.. Train, Gen. Dix, and
other patriots, during which the speaker
retired.
Say@ One of our exchanges makes an
excellent comparison between General
Mcclellan and Jack Bunsby. Little
Mac" declares for war and the Union,
and then tells the Chicago Peace party
that he thinks they must have meant
the same thing when they voted the
war failure, and swore to an armistice.
Jack Bunsby's position is equally clear:
