that any fears which some Of our friends may

already nominated are without any foundation.
will tell you Why We have bad Presidents Of
the United States before this who commanded
the whole army and navy, and were victorious
Generals. Did they do us any harmf Did Ad

did he send 70 the bastlel Not one. He was a
military man, NTH military instincts as strong
as Gen. Mcclellan. and with this difference: that

Mcclellan comes In as man believed by the
Democratic party to be fitted for this particular
emergency Mcclellan has been suggested by
the perious condition Of The country for reasons.

Il makes no difference whether they have been

person OF McClellan's stripe near At hand.
(Applause.)
Do you understand 10y The army, this great
citizen army. does not belong to any one man In
this country Ii belongs TO the people: Il is a
part Of the people: IL Is under the patronage and
protection of the people. and the army will know
what We want verv we'll They know that We
don't intend to say TO them. Go on, you brutes,
into the field. no matter how many thousands of
you are slaughtered to-day, will draw n drag
net through the country. and haul up as many
more TO be slaughtered to morrow" loud
cheers Nothing OF that kind We don't want
a cold blooded Joker at Washington who. while
the District Of Columbia is infested with hospl
tails, and tae atmosphere burthened by the groans
and signs OF our mangled countrymen. when he
can spare minute from Joe Miller's Jest Book,
looks out upon the acres OF hospitals and in
quires, What houses are thosel" We want a
man who can entertain proper appreciation of
their sufferings-a man who knows what n sol
der means when he points to missing arm and
SAYS: This arm was lost at such a battle;" or
raising a mutilated hand, saws: This hand was
fractured at such battle-this limb was broken
at such battle, where fought at your order in
defense OF the government of my country, as
you told me
When a soldier comes TO George b. McClel
Ian he will not be answered by a rbald joke. The
soldiers all understand this thing They know
that the Democratic party means that so long as
the army exists under Democratic rule, the
brave children of the country who have enrolled
themselves under its banners VIII be respected,
regarded and cared for, their pensions will be
paid, their families provided for. because there
will be some humanity as we'll as blood in this
business. There will be no call upon half a mil.
lion OF young TO 90 aud be cut TO pieces under
any pretense, hashed worse than animals worse
than Roman gladiators, and then come back to
be put off with a jest. CHEERS They will
know, every one OF them, that Gen. Mcclellan
is no Joker; and will know every one of them,
when they are told TO 6ght. that il will be for
something that is constitutional and legitimate.
and when they are told the fighting is ended
they will be willing to say. well, General, Mr..
President, expect you are about right" viii
lingly and cheerfully they will acquiesce in the
dent. The army will throw up their caps in
spite of subordnates, because the election of
General Mcclellan will reconnect them with
gentleman Hitherto orders have been issued
and plans devised to cut off the army from the
people, to separate them and array them against
each other. and that has been the great danger of
the last four wears This vote will reconnect
the army and the people, and give the civil the
paramount authority over the military of the
country. Loud cheers.)
Mr. L. Y Bogy, of Observation-Disclosures of
the Convention: will detain you but one mo-
ment. am delegate to this convention from
the State of Missouri | came here for peace
We all came from Missouri here, for peace
was one of those who believed that the best Sc
curity for peace was the selection of some one of
the MANY civilians and statesmen of our country
NY choice was for the distinguished gentleman
who presides over this our assembly Cheers
But we failed in our choice, have no hesita-
ton in saying, that am in favor of making the
selection of General Mcclellan the unanimous
one of this convention (Renewed cheering.)
Our State is vast scene of desoation; it is
overrun with hostile bands; every man and every
woman is bleeding in the land. We are a subju
gated, conquered and tyranized people. We
know what war Is, and we wish to appreciate
what peace is. We have struggled between two
armies; hence we are in favor of peace, and of
peaceful measures to end this war. Having
failed in securing our choice, have but TO say,
that we will rally around the nominee of this
convention, and that Missouri and Kentucky,
who met IN consultation last night, will 90 arm
in arm and hand in hand, to drive from our re
spective soils the bayOnets. and restore more
peace to our whole country No pen can de-
scribe the condition of these Ststes-even the
papers of our country dare not state il. Free
press and free speech does not exist at all. We
hope that the proceedings Of this convention and
the workings and doings of tins convention, will
restore peace; we want peace; we need peace
and we expect you of the northern States, you
of the free States, who know nothing of war. to
protect US in our rights. thank YOU for your
attention. (Applause)
The President-We have hear from a distin-
gushed friend of Andrew jackson; you will now
listen to the words of one who was the first
friend of Henry Clay during his life time: and if
he had lived till now, God knows he would have
been with Us

Der of this convention to rise at such an hour as
this to make a speech, but as have said nothing

time. know that this is not place for words.
