Shall We Vote With the Rebels?
Some Mcclellan organs are very So
hcitous to get rid of the damaging con
sequences Of rebel support of their
ticket and to this end they labor TO
make themselves and others believe
that the rebel leaders would prefer the
election of Lincoln to Mcclellan. The
Union press abounds with positive
proof of the reverse of this JEFF Davis
ought to be pretty good authority on

way for the rebels to help elect MeClel-

The rebel Congressman, B. H. Hin,
made a speech lately at Macon, Ga, in
which he said:

Of the enemy. Mcclellan ,ci0 nerer Be
