Col. TATE,
Dear Sir;-Whilc sitting in my quarters
this allcrn oon, l thought it might interest
some Of our Mcclellan friends at home,
to hear the sentiments of the company,
under Capt. Mensch, who lately left Col
umbia county for the seat of war. The
majority Of the members of the company
are decidedly for tho election of little
Mac, and publicly avow that they will fall
before the polls, ii prohibited from voting
for him. Outside Of our camp, the war
worn veterans, are also,boldly speaking in
favor Of Mcclellan, and asking for a
change in the Administration. The pri.
yatc soldiers are generally Of this prn-
ciFIe, but majority Of the officers are in
favor of continuing Old Able in power,
but since the people of Pennsylvania de-
cidcd to give the soldiers vote in the
army, and to diScuss the issues and prin-
cplcs, the officers are not at all times
able TO prohibit the boys from discussing
the mctits of the candidates. Us Me

you would see the boys pass in AID out

we say, not merely because it is impossi-

it is much worse than impossible for those
who "control the armies now at war"

transfer to Mr., Lincoln the control of u

shows that the popular taste, the popular

f5i}D The violent abu,e with which lie
whole pack of Abolition hounds-editors,
orators, preachers and Office holders - are
assaiiing Mcclellan is the Surest evidence
we can have that they fear his popularity
If he were indeed so veal; candid te as
they profess to consider him, they could
afford to let him alone or at least to
treat him to only moderate share of their
abuse. But the bitter and almost fcndish
malgoity with which they pursue him,
tells too plainly that they dread the rapid
advance he is making into tho ranks OF
the masses Of the people; and that they
sec in him the "coming man" who is to
drive them from the power they have so
trimnaily misuscd. Every Abolition
sIander against Mcclellan is a tribute to
his strorgth.
