MANY good and honest men have been as
duced to 90 for measures which can but
bring ruin aud destruction. Truth, Justice
and the Constitution must save us. or We
perish. If Mcclellan was not a loyslpat-
riot. and had not offered himself as Q sacfi
6ss for his country the spsAker would lll net
be speaking for him. He had command
of the army of the Potomac, and if he had
received the proper support from the AdI
ministration, he would have been success
full. Mcclellan had done some noble and
brave fighting, and. had twice saved the
Capital. Pope succeeded him,--headquar-
tiers in saddle and no base of supplies-and
supplied Stohewali Jackson with rations
Will e the latter adanced almost within
cannon shot of Washington. The Repub-
licans say Mcclellan was slow; they forget
that he took a famished and routed mob
and formed it into divisions and repelled
Lee, who had the day before driven them
as sheep before him. Grant had already
lost more men than Mcclellan ever had IN
der his command. The par escetlencs
"Union' party don't want the Constitution
of our fathers; their short-sighted policyshas
fred the South, and the people down there
are convinced that Lincoln wishes to equal
izs the negro with the white man. The
Administration had given them every reas-
on to believe it. But a few weeks ago the
speaker had heard a Bishop of the MethoO
dist Church say that as the negroes had
fought the battles Of the country, they
should at least be entitled to all It's privili
ges' as0amAisg
The speaker said he must go home to
Ohio; the State some persons were fearful
would not go for Mcclellan. The Republi.
can majority had been reduced $4,000, and
in November the State would give more
votes for Mcclellan than Virg inia-East
and West-had ever given for any one man;
two hundred thousand men in Ohio had
sworn they never would bow the knee to
Baar. Mcclellan was born in Pennsylva-
MIA, but Ohio made him a Major General
q nd sent him over to- Virginia. He went
INTO Virginia with his proclamation in ad-
vance Of him. THE proclamation does
honor to the. man, and should be read by
every man in this section, as they will then
see why they have been saved from cutting
each others throats. IF McClellan's policy
had been adhere d to, war would have been
over to day. Victories produced no effect,
assure the people you will respect their
rights, and victories wiN have their effect,
If such policy was not adopted, the
waves Of rebellion will swell in the rear of
our troops, as it is reported they are doing
now.
Thespeaker was about closing, when he
learned that the stand erected for the DEM
ocratic mieetiug--from which he had spoken
lin the afiernoon-had been burned down.
He then gave the shoddyites a fitting COM
