The Presidential Contest in tho East.
Tho Mcclellan FurOr In New YOrk...Glo.
rious Prospects OF Mcclellan.

In speaking of the "response of tho peo-
pie" to the nomination of Mcclellan, the
" Y. World, of Sept. 18th Gays:
From all pontsin this broad land, the
same < orous cry comes up-everywhere,
the same ringing shout is heard. 1t is the
grand, unmistakabls voice Of the people,
welcoming the deIverer Mcclellan. "Iur.
rah for McCIelau!" These words are the
KEY notes of Democratic music al! round the
nation. Once more the Democracy stands
united; once more it rallies to the contest
with man of the people, whose fidelity to
its immortal principles Of civil liberty none
dares question. There is no opposition to
the nomination worth mentioning.
In this city the Mcclellan enthusiasm il
word which is an open sesame to all true
hearts. Men meet on street corners to "dis-
cuss" the political situation, and suddenly
break forth into cheering for Mcclellan.
One says Mcclellan" in a street car, and
every person therein will begin uttering
something in praise of Little Mac" In ho-
tells, at the theatres, on ferry boats, in stages,
in quiet streets and noisy thoroughfares il 10
the same. The Mcclellan fever is epidemic
in New York, and every one is flushed With
it.
And so it is in the country. Our corres-
pondence from all parts Of the United States
be'rays the same spirit. There never was .
political nomination so thoroughly ratified
in the hearts Of the people.
OF the soldiers influence, the World Of
September 22d, further says:
The influence which the discharged and
disabled soldiers of the republic are exer,ing
in favor Of Mcclellan is tremendous. Every
one Of them has his circle of friends, and
they are making proselytss by the hundred.
The calumniss Of the Lincoln organs against
their favorts commander only infams them
into more ardent exertions. Soldiers who
have served in the army Of the Potomac
can't listen TO these Wholesale ISLANDERS With
much patience, and there are enough OF
them scattered over the country to nail every
lie to the coun ter as fast as it is uttered.

At the conclusion OF the Presidents
speech, all OF the Committee shook him
cordially by the band, end offered their
personal congratulations.
The members of the National Union
League adjourned yesterday from Balti-
more TO this city, and called upon tho
President this afternoon. The chairman
OF the OF the deputation spoke TO the
President as follows "Mr President,
have the honor OF introducing to you the
representatives Of the Union Leagues of
the loyal States, TO congratulate you on
your nomination, and 10 assure YOU
that we will not fail at the polls to give
the support your services in the past so
highly deserve.
"We feel honored in doing 30, for we
are assured we nre aiding in re-electiug
to the proud position Of President Of the
United States, one so highly worthy of it;
one among not the least OF whose claims
is tha, he was the Emsncipstor Of 4,000,-
600 Of bondmen."
The President replied as follows:
"Gentlemen: | can only say, in re-
sponse 10 your chairman, that am very
grateful for the renewed confidence which
has been accorded me. both by the Con-
venlion and by the National League. 1
am not insensible at all 10 the personal
compliment there is in :his. Yet do not
allow myself to believe that any but
small portion OF it is to be appropriated
as personal compliment. The Conven-
ton and the nation am assured are alike
animated by higher view Of the inter-
ests of the country, for the present and
the great future, and that part which
I am entitled to appropriate as compli-
ment is only that part which may lay hold

and the Leagne that l am not unworthy 10

pied for the last three years. have not

ting you, gave utterance to the almost
universal voice of the people of the coun'

little less than to doubt the final suppress

tion, nor those represented by.that body,
entertained any doubt as to the final re-
suit under your administration, sustained
by that OF the loyal people and our noble
