The WHOLE IDEA of patriotic duty and
loyalty is made clear in the following SEN
tencc from a speech of George Francis
Train, at Union meeting held in Philadel-
phia on last Saturday evening. Speaking
of his duty as loyal citizen he said;
III don't want TO belong to the party that

WHEN the rebels invaded Pennsylvania
year ago last Summer, Gen. Mcclellan
privately expressed that our army would
be defeated and that he would be sum
moned to the field to save the National
Capital. But he proved as bad prophet
as he was bad General The victory of
Gettysburg was won, Lee was sent howl
ing and limping back to Virginia, and the
hero Of the Chicahominy Swamps was left
undisturped to the "inglorious ease" to
which a righteous popular verdict had
CONSIGNED him.

NoTE THE FACT that the emancipation
policy is vindicated by the rebels The
rebel Governor Allen, as late as Septem-
ber 26th, wrote to his Government "The
time has come for usto put into the army
every able-bodied negro man as a soldier.
He caused the fight, and he will
have his portion of the burthen to bear.

THE strongest evidence We have yet
seen that Gen. Mcclellan is a military
failure was his selection as their standard
bearer by the champions of Peace. Had
they wanted man who knew how to fight
they would have selected some such men

wanting a man who had conscientious
scruples against furnishing traitors, they
