ssNo Peace with SIaverv."

The Mackerels are just now making q
great ado over the fact that Reverdy
Johnson, OF, Maryland has come out for
their candidate. AS this is true, we
trust party will not violently thrust so
excellent witness from the stand. If
his opinion is worth anything for Nc
Clellan, it is worth something for other
things. On the 5th of last April, Mr..
Johnson, then in the United States Sem
ate, made speech in Support Of the
resolution to amend the Constitution so
as to abolish slavery" That is the first
nut for Democratic cracking. In that
speech Mr.. Johnson said
have ever concurred in the view OF the great
apostle of American liberty, the author of our
i've tnro1gh o ali Time, as The Magma ch"rtS Of
human rights, that In u contest between the
slave for his freedom and the master who shall
seek to hold him in bondage, the God of Justice
would not be found taking part in favor OF the
latter.
Isn't that good abolition doctrine =
But that isn't all he said:
l am now called upon to decide what is best to
be done in relation to an institution so unwar-
ranted In my estimation upon all moral ana
chief and peril. shall not stop to inquire, as
before intimated, whether the institution has
produced the present war or not. However that
may be, one thing In my Judgment is perfectly
clear, now, that that war is upon us; that II
prosperous and permanent peace cannot be
secured if the institution is permitted to sur
vive.
What do the Mcclellan men who are
in favor of immediate peace say to this?
What do the men who have so many
maledictions to pronounce upon Mr..
Lincoln for his celebrated epistle, "To
whom it may concern" say to Mr..
Johnson's opinion .
Gentlemen, when you charge the
Union party with being in favor of
Union without slavery, please remem-
Der that one of the ablest and warmest
supporters of Mcclellan said, with all
the gravity and dignity of Senator,
that "A PROSPEROUS AND PERMANENT
PEACE CANNOT BE SECURED If SLAVERY
Is PERMITTED TO SURVIVE" Mr.. Lin
coin and the Union party believe with
Re0erdy Johnson a permanent peace
cannot be secured and at the same time
save slavery.

notwithstanding the most conclusive
testimony that during the battle of
Malvern Hill Mcclellan was on board
the gunboat Galena, smoking and sleep

War and asked if the statement was

when the news flashed through the
country that Gen. Phil. Sheridan had
achieved a great victory over the Early
rebels, and the country was all ablaZe
with enthusiasm and delight, the Union
men of Newark, Il. j., united one
pleasant evening in q grand jollifica-
ton. That same evening Gen. McCiel-
lam was visiting Judge Wright, in that
same city ofNewariS, and was serenaded
by his Democratic friends, who didn't
fee! like exulting oyer Sheridan's victo-
ry. Mcclellan made q speech of about
fifty words, in which he forgot to men
ton Sheridan, Sherman, Farragut, a
victory or anything else that would
give oitense to rebels. Concerning our
army and navy, he was silent as the
grave. The Union press observed this
omission and absence Of mind, and came
down on Young Napoleon. Two OF
three nights after, the Democratic can
didate was at Orange, n. j., and was
again serenaded. He presented himself
and made a briefspeech. Stung by the
criticisms of; a loyal press, of his omis-
sions at Newark, he alluded, in the
briefest terms possible, to Sherman,
Sheridan and Farragut. But he forgot
to mention the name Of Grant, for the
commander.

By The situation in Georgia is en-
couraging. The outlines Of recent
movements in Sherman's Department
are as follows: Hood passing Sherman's
right flank struck the railroad from At
lanta to Chattanooga, at Altoona Pass.
Here he suffered repulse. He moved
north, and we next heard of him ut
Dalton, which he captured without OPP
position, owing to the cowardly conduct
of Col. Johnson, of the Nth u. S.
Sherman, leaving garrison at Atlanta,
moved after Hood promptly, and came
upon his heels between Dalton and
Chattanooga, where, at last accounts, Il
battle seemed imminent, though reports
reached our lines that Hood would not
risk an engagement and that his army
was being rapidly reduced by his militia
desertinp him.
