vallanaigham on mcClellan.

Vallsndgham has, after oil, taken the
stump for Mcclellan. He made speech
at Sidney. Ohio. few days since, in
which he announced that he should sup
port Nc Ciellan. He said
{. That there may be no misspprehen

vote for. on the 9Th Of November, and in
the meantime support, according to the
measure OF my zeal and ability. the NOM

Speaking of Gen. McClellan's letter be
said:
" The two principal points in that let

before that Committee. The one con.

the South had returned to the Uuion, We
would not exhsust these arts of states

three votes in that Committee, though
ptese nted almost in the very words of the

From this it would seem that McClel

Committee on resolutions. Ii that be the

There is nothing Of any interest 10 the
speech, beyond these references to Gen
Mcclellan. He concluded by urging the
people to vote for Mcclellan, assuring
them that Mcclellan wss a true man, and
he knew the General would abide by The
principles OF true Democracy.
