But theyagrss no better on the subject of
coercion ad State sovereignty. On the
18th of Jauary, 1881, PendlstoD szid:

Iohcy Of the bill I VIII not advert to the

The objection which have to this bill
was well stated BY the gentleman from Penn
'ylvania' Mr. Biddlel yesterday. He OBJ
ected to It because It Is part Of system
designed to put the whole power Of the
country into the hands Of the Executive.
But Mcclellan is again in antagonism.
IN August, 1861, just a month after the
'attle Of Bull Run, when the volunteers
we're pouring into Washington by regi-
nents and brigades, General Mcclellan
wrote to the President as follows;
WAsHNGToE, August 40, 1861.

lispatch, in cipher. Colonel Marcy knows
yhat he says, and he is Of the coolest iudg,
nent- recommend that the Secretary Of

be enrolment proceeds in New York and
lseys ere, and that, if it is not proceeding
nth great rapidity, drsftsbe made at once.
Y g must have men without delay.
