1t is one of the most significant signs ol
the times that most of the Generals Of the
Army who have been lauded to the skies
by the administration press, and who have
been held up as the worst enemies OF ten.
Mcclellan, are now yielding him their sup,
port for President in preference to Lincoln.
From their previous relations, Gen. Hooker
ia perhaps the most noticeable Of these OH
GERS. We have seen the statement going
the rounds of the papers for several days
that he had declared for Mcclellan, but, al
though we knew that Hooker was opposed
to Lincoln's reelection, preferred not to
print it until confirmed. That confirmation
we now have. Gen. Hooker was in Albany
onW Wednesday, when the Democratic State
Convention met, and special to the Her.
aid says: .a.
General Hooker has been here to>day,
and seemed to manifest surprise at any per
son considering him against Mcclellan. de
announced himself unequioocally for McCtet, !, /,
Ian on the platform and policy advocated
by the Herald. His conversation to day
was explicit and outspoken. He urged the
suppression of the rebellion, but considered
change of administration essential.
The admission of the Albany correspon-
dent Of the EOening Post Is to the same
effect: .- -f.r5f
General Hooker aud family were at the
Delevan House and took passage for New
York in the St. John. lie was visited by
many citizens, took apparently much inter
est in what was going on. lie was very i'm
partial; he held the ripal candidates an equal
estimation. He did not appear as sanguine
as many about the speedy termination OF
the war, but believed that no good or sutfi
cient reason existed to prevent an early
annihilation of the two rebel armies.
When the New York EDening Postadmits
that General Hooker holds Mcclellan and
Lincoln in "equal estimation" we want no
further assurance as to the candidate for
whom he will vote. I ..fH
The Chicago Post has already stated that
the "war Democratic" Generals Logan
and McClernand support Mcclellan. The
Springfield GIL Register makes the same
statement, and adds the name Of General
Palmer. .''
The Register also adds that the Repub
lican U. S. Senator Trumbull, who has
never held fellowship with the abolition ele
ment of his party, is understood to be in
favor of the election of Mcclellan.
And the Chicago Post (now Democratic)
says of the Republican exNUnited States
Senator Browning: ~
The Union loving people of Quincy, Ill {,
held great meeting on "Wednesday even
ind to express their Joy at the nomination
of General Mcclellan. In the course Of
their reoicings the Herald relates the fol-
lowing:
"The immense throng then marched,
with band of music, to the residence OF
o. H. Browning Being loudly called for,
Mr.. Browning appeared upon the p2rtlce
in front of his residence, and proceeded to
address the people. IN the course OF his
remarks he paid high and well deserved
tribute to the reputation aud fame of Gen.
Mcclellan. He said that he had often be.
tore declared that Gen. Mcclellan was q
true patriot and an exalted statesman
that he regarded him as the best general
our country had produced in the present
war, and that be should not feel at all
distressed if he should be elected to the
Presidency. At the conclusion of his re.
marks he was honored with three rousing
and hearty cheers
The course of Mr.. Browning will have
great weight with thousands in the West
Democrats whom he has always politically
opposed have ever honored and respected
him as a most honorable and honest man,
entertaining no opinions and pursuing no
policy he was not profoundly convinced
was right.
