GENERAL MCCLELLAN.


Horace Greeley concludes long article on
the presidential prospects Of General Mcclellan
in the following words.
Let us not, then, commit the common error
Of undertaking the strength of the foe. zen.
Mcclellan is to be the pro slavery candidate for
next President of the United States, and be will
prove more formidable in the lcanvass than IN
the field. he is essentially not soldier, but 8
politician, aud his fighting and writing have
alikei been intended 70 train him for the Presi-
Dental race. There is not 10 al the loysl States
q sympsthizer with the Shareholders Rebellion
who will not support him with desperate energy
not a man who, | ke Gov. Price, Of New Jer-
sey, grsvely proposed that his own State should
become a sa;rspy Of JEFF. Davis slave empire, or
who, Ike our Gov. seymour, wanted the Union
reconstructed with New England LETT out, who ia
not a natural McClellaoite. Add to every re-
naming cevotee Of the slave power the soldiers
and others who will vote for him as favorite
General, and be le,omes candidate hard 70 be
beaten. Only by digging down TO the bedrock
Of Principle, aud imbuing the masses With q
stern repGgnsuce TO Human Slavery, With all it.

ET- We present. below all extract from the
speech made n Congress a fe~ DAYS since, by
James Brook-, OF the y. Y. Express, in which
be declared shat slavery vas dead, and which
has excited much comment:
"The frst section Of this act OF the rebel Con-
grcss which hold in my hand, declares that al
male free negioes shall be corsripted and
be brought into the Southern army The sec
ond section Of this set provides for organizing
20 600 Of the Southern slaves, 10: exactly ss
soldiers, but sapper5 miners, aud navvies, o.
laborers in.the Southern armies The South.
therefore, has taken the secondary step to the
first step, which Eas taken by the people Of
the north. There Is the Southern act and there l.
the Southern record Tor arning FIST the free ne
groes of tie South, aid second for srming The
Southern slaves This OF ilself ia the abolition
Of slavery in the rebel States; for the moment
arms are put into the hands Of the saves, that
moment slavery l. ABOLISHED Ssush as well az
North. I say. therefore, we must accept TIE
abolition Of slavery as fact accomplished, a
thing done. not only done by the Northern peo-
pie, but7of necessity done By the southern peo-
yle. Tae necessities OF this war vii compel the
rebels II The South more and more 70 arm their
slaves. aud thus more and more TO abolish their
slaves.

The Border State Militia,

No course of argument is necessary to con-
vince the people of the loyal States that the reb-
els have not relinquished the hope that, by some
turn of circumstances, they may be able to exc
cute their long cherished plan of transferring
the war from their own to SOIL We are just
beginning to recover from the effects of their
annual invasion, the third since the war began
and it behooves us to look around and devise
means to prevent similar occurrence in future
The late demonstration, it is true, was not so
formidable as either of the two others, but who
will deny that the enemy have done more injury
during the one just terminated than at any for
mer time. AT Antietam and Gettysburg they
were soundly thrashed and sent bootless back
into their own territory, but not so in this in
stance. They entered Maryland, almost without
resistance and after pushing their columns to the
very gates of the capital, permitted to retire
In the almost undisputed possession of a larger
amount of spols than they realized in both their
previous campaigns combined. Through the
Providence of God and the invincible courage of
small band of PATRIOTS the nation was spared
