81 Some week. .irss we took occasion

- Some weeks sines we took occasion o
remark upon tho influence Of two, Of the
manufacturing corporations in this city,
welded by their Agents against the wishes
and desires Of the stockholders. IN the inter.
est Of Fernando Wood and vallandigham.
We are by no means done with the matter,
and ut the proper time shall allnde to Il
again. We understand that it i, currently
reported in certain quarters that the Treas
urer, Hon. William Dwight, supports Nc
Clellan. How much truth there is in the
statement, may be Inferred from tho fact
that he is permanent President of the Brook.
line Lincoln and johnson Club, which was
organized in That city last week. In accept
ing tho Office Mr.. D. made an eloquent
speech upon the issues Of che campaign.
He declared that tho determination Of the
American people was that the nation should
not bc divided, and that the rebellion should
DO ovcrthrown. The speaker next contras-
ted the platforms Of Baltimore and Chicago
and the different nominees for the Presiden.
cy, and said, in reference to Mcclellan Let.
ter, that 1t was equivocal, when VIC must
have certainty. Mr.. Dwight closed his re-
marks with an earnest statement Of the ne.
cessity Of supporting and strengthening the
present Government.

The Coming Election.

The Boston Herald, heretofore Demo.
cratic paper. has taken firm ground against
the. Chicago platform and the Chicago nomi.
nces. We copy from recent article the
following terse and true paragraphs showing
what would follow from the success Of Nc
Clcllan. Says that paper:
The success Of Mcclellan means the success
Of the South over the North, with an at
tempt to repudiate the public debt and to
tax the North to pay the war debt Of the
South and for the slaves made free by the
war and to establish military despotism.
The liberty OF the press and the liberty OF
speech would then disappear and monarchy
be established more despotic than that which
exists in England or France. We would APP
peal to every laboring man and to every me-
chanic not to be deceived by tho demasogue
appeals made to them by windy orators about
high prices and perpetual war. The way to
avoid perpetual war and high prices is to de-
str0y the rebvl armies, which Grant, Sheri-
dan, Farragut and Sherman are doing most
efectually. Every man who holds a Govern
ment bond or grccnback should vote to make
tuom Hoou. cupPOoV s"o oo'Vi"uiOh o"ouiu
fail to redeem its promises to pay, who
would suffer so much as the aboring classes?
Would il not enhance the price of living
and reduce the price Of labor? Is not labor
better paid now than it ever was before, and
will not success in the field bring down the
price OF living, US is now being done. There
Is no class 50 deeply interested in maintain
ing the integrity Ut the Government rs the
laboring class. Ii the Government fail, they
fal! and their rights ard liberty are gone for
ever. This is why the London Times aud
the aristocracy Of Great Britain are anxious
that Mcclellan should be elected President.
Will the people vote to please the nobility
Of Great Britain, or will they vote to protect
themselves. Ii is no time now for the pco-
pie to tritlc with their interests. They have
an important duty to perform il they would
protect themselves, which is, TO east their
votes against the men in the free States who
would sell them out to such despots us Jeiler-
son Davis. Louis Napoleon, and the Tories
Of England. Put down the rebellion. restore
peace tn the Union. and down will 20 the
price OF living, and down will 80 the men in
the Tree States who. while pretending to be
the friends Of the people, are secretly plot
tlng their destruction.

yesterday, with che exception Of the attack
made by Thompson's cavalry on Gen. Gregg,
on the Vaughan road, where the rebels were

may occur any moment. Our loss on Fri.

claim to have number of prisoners from
the 9th corps, taken on that day.
The Richmond papers boast of a victory
over Sheridan in the Valley, and say he was
