MORNING LEADER.
FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT 2,
va,Iaudieham aud Mcclellan at
chicago.


No man was so ardently cheered at Chi
eaeo as was Vallandigham. He could not
walk from his seat, he could not wavs his
hand. but that the crowd grew wild IN
their cheers. The mere mention OF his
name would stir the heart of every peace
Democrat.
On the other hand Mcclellan received
like oyations when his name was men
toned. Here were men cheering the man
who had been martyr to arbitrary arrests
and then cheering for the man who was
according TO Harris, of Maryland,
a0reater tyrasat than Lincoln" We asked
3 Democrat from New Jersey to explain
this Inconsistency. he replied: "The OUT
side pressure is made up Of boys and un-
reasoning men. They therefore cheer for
both alike!n Such was actually the case
The inconsistency was Observed through
ont the whole proceedings. But yet the
marty will be harmonious they say. we
doubt 1t. We have heard many Democrats
in Ohio say they never would vote for Nc
Clellan. VIII they now?

enamored with the 'great martyr"
YALLANDIeHAM.
In appearance Mr.. Vallandigham is
about forty-Ave years of age, Of medium
stature, hair tinged with gray, rather a
solid and rustic lock at first glance, but,
withal, a fire of genius cleaning from his
eve. The most distinctive feature of his
couutenance is an expression of painful
sadness, as if deep, corroding sorrow had
long gnawed at his heart. 1t Is not an al
together unpleasant expression, for his
manner Is genial and, at the same time,
composed, but rstht trace of that deep
conflict which he may have waged with
the world, or mayhap has sunk deep into
his youthful heart, which has left its shadow
and image upon all his subsequent life.
He imprefses one ss possessed OF con
seious power, but as one who also feels
and knows full well the lamentable
ignorance and baokwardness Of those
about him. Fierce in debate, he is, an
common lnIerOVUISO - I,lanid IS on in
faut. CONTRARY to the usual opinion, he
is not hard in feature, nor bloodless in as
meet eontrariwise, his smile is warm and
genial, without levity truly, but full of
deep rich fund of good feeling. Should
he pause in his career and retire into prl-
vste life. of which there is not the least
likelihood, he will be reckoned as remark
