THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AT TIE
NORTH

The nomination of Grnel.tl MoCI,Iian ior the
Presidency la, produced lntens, excitement among
all Glasses at tAe.No!th. The Democrats generally
ale III tcstacies, while the Republicans seem t.
gard 1t with some apprehension. The New ok
Horaid advises the tolneT 10 keep cool, and say
We Oh the OF two state elect IONS
which Will throw much light this vextd gue,tiun
of " the succession" NelInont Will vote Tor state
officers tour days from now, aud Maine the 18th
instant If the Republicans increase, or even hold
the msluIitIe5 by which they carried those states i'll
the two preceding years, the prospects of the ID, mo-
cratic Presidential nominee Will bo seriously though
not perhaps hUpeeSSly, Cloutet; while If the d. mo-
crats carry, 20 close to carrying, one or
both of these Republican State strong holds, the
shOdIyitcS and horse contractors may at begin
paying their homage 10 General Mcclellan " next
President Of the Union"
Let the adherents Of General Mcclellan, there

Vermont and NJ ne elections shall have been made
known The friends Of 4" Little Mac" should he at

now M'cLELLtN's NOMINATION. WAS RECEIVED.
The following dispatches show the spirit OF re-
lolcing through the North Aollellan'r

The following Is an extract from letter from
Chicago III the New York Hera!d =.
have witnessed numerous ratification meetings
at the close ot the labors o national or presidential
conventions but never one that would compare
III enthusiasm with this. The gathering at Biltl
more tO rutlty the nomination Of Lmcoln,f at the
clO5t. ot thy proceedings Ot that convention, Was
mere handful compared II tins. When l state that
there at th. demonstration last night one hum
drel persons to every one person at Baltimore, o1
at least twice many thousands AZ there were hun
lreds at the Lincoln meeting III Baltimore, am
speaking within bounds, and, Ii anything, below
the real extent OF this gathering.
The Lincoln ratification meeting here Iii 1861, at
the CONCLUSION Vt the labour5 o1 the convention, was
u mere town meeting compared to this
blooul WORK ANTIoPATKD- KXCITED sTATE OF
TEELIs0 Al THE NORTH.
The Hr,aH seems to think that the bitter larti
SAL ieeIlIlg already aroused may lead to bloody
l,,ue IL therefore urges moderation, and admin
lstuIa the following wLolt-omc advice to the COLI
tcstant7
Ti,t. issues of the approaching Pre5identla elcc-
t,ol are too important to b. treated III any Iictloua
oplllt We had hoped, and urged, that both parties
should ulnto upon one candidate, Ike dehcriu vi ant
ana thus the election ol pure and honest
patfiot unbiased by any political preJuIleeH, and
devoted solely 10 the salvation Of the Union lii
this We have been disappointed.
The Democratic and Republican journals and ora
tors have begun the work IN "A wrong spinr. atill,
rs the canvass Just opened, 1t Is not too late Ion
ulenAo repent and ietorm Mr. Lincoln and Gene-
raj Mcclellan stand upon different platforms ana
represent different parties, but tins Is no reason
why they should not be treated as gentlemen by
their political opponents Let 1t be understood at
tL. very outset that Nj. Lincoln Is not "a scOun~
dr,i ana that General Mcclellan Is not "a traitor
and We shall get through the canvass much more
cledltably and comfortably. But II these phrases
are to be the keynotes of the discussion, how long
will it be before Democrats and Republicans VIII
shoot and stab each other III our streets -AHt.tu}
the Tribune has started the clecti0neeIng lie that
General Mcclellan Offered his sword to the rebels
before he loiued the Union army, and the UY1d has
yes that's the word, iI,tamy-ot tho White House" ="
Now what-oes this disgacetut style OF controversy
effect How many votes does 1t WIN IL makes
partisan journalism despicable and exeites par ush
PASSIONS that is about all it amounts TO. We insist
that it shall be stopped, and We propose TO take
measures to stop 1t.
Another bad feature OF this canvass is the secret
society business. The Democrats are SAID TO have
several secret Poilet,i soeiete5 Aiio - ~ -
cans certainly have the Loyal Leagues, which are
secret associations having their headquarters III PHI
yate a,s.nals All such societies un-Ameiical,i
They are unpatiiotic. They lead to disorder and
TO bioodshed. Ii the Republicans have any OF the
virtues to which they lay claim, they Will dsbahd
these leagues at once. Ii the Democrats are rs pa
riotic as they profess to be- they will have nothing
more to do with secret associations There Is no Is
sue involved in the coming election which may not
be discussed openly No oaths OF gflps ofpasswofls
are required FaIr free and frank discussion IS the
only thing needed to settle this election satisfaeto
ny. should We carry this election quietly, and
should the beaten party submit peacefully, We snail
have proven ourselves great people. But II the
election is to be accompanied by blootshed and toi-
lowed by Northorn revolution, there Is al END oi
the country.
