General Mcclellan Is no stronger among the
people tbaa were the copperheads last year.
Vermont and Maj ne have led OF against the
degrading disunon peace resolutions Of the
Chicago platform. Gen. McClelisn's letter, in
VIII ch he erects for himself another aud solid
and consistent Union platform. was written
after the Vermont election. and was promul-
gated too late to have any effect upon the
Ma ne election. The October State elections,
however, Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
will be very apt to determine the Presidential
Issue. They will doubtless show that McClel-
Ian is stronger in Pennsylvania than Judge
Woodward, and stronger in Ohio than VslIan-
dgbam, but whether strong enough on Little
Macs admirable Union or war platform to
bring back those States to the democratic
ticket, as in 1862, or to anything like that reac-
tion, remains TO be seen.
TIE obnoxious copperhead affiliations Of the
democracy since Governor Seymours election
have SO seriously crippled the party among the
people that, under the most fortunate crcum-
stances that can be looked for, 1t will be diff
icult task for General Mcclellan to rebu Id
tie democratic ark In season for the November
food, inssmuch as the rains of forty days and
forty nights have already set In. In any event,
the only way to the Reorganization and sue
cess Of the Northern democracy has been
pointed out by General McClel an. The party
would be utterly cut to pieces upon the Val
iandgaam-G m-George-Sanders Jeff.-Davis disunion
