THE WEST STAND.
Speaking did not commence at this stand until
late hour The meeting was called TO order BY Mr..
Alexander Walker, who introduced Mr.. Nelson
Smith. and moved that he be elected chairman:
This JSas carried by reclamation: Mr. Smith stated
that this meeting had been called together a scarce
IL an hours notice TO ratify the nomination OF tne
candidates of the Chicago Convention, and to insu.
gurate new era. We have now had four years N
war-a sanguinary, bloody war; not war Win q
foreign foe but with onr former ncighbors ana
friends. 1t was stated that this was war ior the
rostoration of the Constitution aud the UnioDi
and when this was accomplished, IT was 10
end. Instead of this II had been pros
tituted from its original Objects and now
we were called on for 5J),JUO moro men 10
aid in freeing the negro. The Convention had
nouinated those true man, George d. Mcclellan foE
President, and George A. PendetOn for wee Presi'
dent. They believed that having tried four years
of war, We should now try some of the means 70
effect peace. With this view 1t had been decided 70
call a National Convention OF all the states.
When Mr. Lincoln inaugurated be SAID thas
fight as long as we might we would have 70 COM
promiso III last. And he WAS correct with ma
tonal debt truly astounding, and after an Immense
loss of life, we should now try what ne then ad'o-
cnted. George b. Mcclellan you all know IL 10
said tina. be vas guilty on certain occasion OF
making an arbitrary arrest. he reteed TO the arrest
OF the Maryland Legislature. That act differed
widely from that which the present Administration
had been guilty of lately. The city IN when , NAV
body met was in bis military district, ahn 'hsy
were therefore within his jurisdiction. Besides, ne
was a simple soldier and must obey orders.
| Conrad Swackhamer thought that this was lndeed
the commencement OF u new era. The tlegi sph
had announced the nomination OF GeoIgo u.
Mcclellan and %, 900 freenen had assembled to do
rim honor Notwithstanding the persistent efforts
of the Administration to put him down. To-day
we commence new order OF things NO more
edics "To whom il may concern. Eject George
| g. Mcclellan and within twenty -four hours peace
would be declared. Elect Abraham Lincoln, and
coal would be SIS per ton, and other things in pro.
4 portion. With laborat ). per day what then woulo
a poor man dol We tired OF the frequens
calls 70. men, and believed that 1t was time IT was
stnpUet.
/ there would beno more war. In that day, although
there Would be mourning for those who had fallen,
there would be 10Y that peace once more reigned
supreme. Ifyod can see anything IN the Republic
can party, with Lincoln as its leader and stanton
as his follower, to admire, speak out Has not
the Democratic party been fully represented
in the arrnyi Has not nine-tenths OF the army
been composed OF Democratsl Has not this great
Democratic city always furnished her full quota on
all former calls7 What then is wanted-the great

years longer, and the South is subdued. Even then

! let US now offer them terms of some Kind IL th@y
refuse, the North would then be united, ana We
will ali rally to the support Of the Stars and Stripes.
Let the Administration take down the black Tag OK
Abolitonism and place it with the Stars and stripes
Let it throw aside the worthless negro and shoddy
contractors, and take broad national ground.
Twenty wears ago ho had stood here and denounced
the worthless rags Of that day, and he now in turn
denounced the trash termed money which now CIR
culates among us. In conclusion, he would urgo
them to roll forward the ball, and end in the cleo
ton of George b. Mcclellan.
| William G. Cover loved Mcclellan, for be hao
