on Wednesday, that affairs in the distficr
Of which he is .commasdAnt, had become
unusually interesting, threw up his leave
of absence and left for the front The
General had splendid reception Tues
day evening By his old friends and
townsmsn. In the course Of the even
ing the General made speech, Ia which
he said good many things We quote:
wHY HE, wAR DEMOCRAT PRKFERREp
LINCOLN TO MCCLELLAN.
II GeneHal Mcclellan should write a
letter twice as strong Is he has done,
could no; vote fer him when his party's
platform has said my comrades and |
have htaiisd' and we're towards, and
had been whipped General Mcclellan
is entirely indebted for his present po-
sition to the fact that be is considered
war man. Admit that be is. "old
Abe" is a better war man aud on that
ground should have the votes Of the war
men. say vote for the best war man,
and II he is not elected you will siIll have
q war man. Mai Gen. Mcclellan has
never been prominent man, and has
not had as much aotoTietg a. even j
have had be il said 10 be some
thing Of railroad man but George H
Burrows, of the Wabash road, is a bet
ter one. II being engaged il the pres
ent war as soldier, or as General,
entities him 10 votes, is not the man who
has done most, the most entitled 10 them ?
Lincoln has done much more than Ne
| ClellsB. The army looks upon the sup.
/ portersof Mcclellan as those opposed TO
the war, and Jon may point them to bis
letter as much as you please. The sol
/ diers viii regard every vote cast for him
IS given against the war, and in favor OF
/ disgraceful peaee--As given 10 endorse
the insult and libel that the war is a fail
ure, and that all the hardships aud dam
| gers they have endared have been useless
aad wrong. Do you think the intsIli-
gent, brave, and patriotic men who have
gone out--life 10 hand-to defend your
homes, will ever vote TO endorse such q
thing as this? | tell ron nay.
But Mcclellan, 90 President, would
| be powsrisss without . Cabinst and
majority in Congress agreeing with him.
The men Who made the platform are the
ones Who will control the party, and
they world have the majority in Con-
gress to favor peace instead Of Me
| ClellAns policy. Every one, in voting,
votes for OF against the Chicago Plat
form. Be not misled By candidates $
lettsr-his policy win be shaped by his
party in spite of himself
