His letter Of acceptance. like everything which

on this letter would be to weaken the force ofils
enunciations. Every sentence Is valuable For
every sentence presents a clear. unmistakable
expression OF bis creed. nor can any one doubt
the meaning OF any word The characteristic OF
Gen Mcclellan has been that he never deceives-

The radical enemies OF Mcclellan will doubt
less abuse the letter. We shall hear their insane
rawlings Of anger directed at It's words of patriot

are out against him in their several positions
We NAV look for the strongest possible alliance
between the Southern leaders and the Northern
abolitionists 10 defeat the election OF a man who
will restore "THE USIOs At ALL HAZARDS" Two
classes OF men will oppose Us in this election. al
the North and at the South The men who de
sire power. who wish TO perpetuatc their present
hold on the iDtrusted power OF the people
These two classes will violently oppose because
they will fear and trembe at the prospect OF suct
an event "a the election of an unconditional Uni

union with every constitutional right to the whole
land Well NAV the Richmond papers say tina
this presents new danger never yet felt IN th'
COnederacy.
, Below We give the correspondence. The de
votion to the Union expressed in the letter of tn
committee. consisting of many Of the most dis
tinguished men in America, gives the most dis
tinct denial which be possible TO the slander
of the radical dsunionists: while the letter o
acceptance by General Mcclellan will ring hk
the blast of trumpet through the length ant
breadth Of the land.
