THE UNION CANDIDATES,

From the New York Daily World, Sept. 1st.
The National Democratic Convention
has done its work, and done it we'll It
has nominated the ablest and most popu-
lar ticket ever presented for the sufra-
ges of the American people. Both can
didates are in the early prime of vigor-
GUS manhood both are men Of such de-
cided power that they made their mark
as soon as they were called to act in
public capacity; both are, by instincts
and education, gentlemen; neither is old
enough to have become incrusted with
prejudiees which unfit him from playing
useful part in new circumstances, or to
have surrounded himself with a set of
party hacks who will prevent his discern
ing merit or ability out of their own cir
Gle.
The nomination of General GEORGE
B. MCCLELLAN FOR PRESIDENT OF
The UNITED STATES is a sure augury cf
triumph in the election, and success in
restoring the Union. The personal quail
ifcations which General AIcC Clellan brings
to the arduous task for which he has
been selected, are of very high order.
A mind equally comprehensive and Wig
orOus, robust, decisive win, soldiers
sense Of honor, infexible integrity, far
reaching sagacity, which, on a great sub
jeet or great occasion, has never been at
fault; generous warmth of disposition
which wins hosts of friends; purity Of
private character which even the enven-
omed breath of SANDER has been compen-
ed to respect; love of country and rever-
ence for the Constitution which were
never exceeded in the earlier days of the
republic; and a native elevation of char
acter which cannot descend to crooked
ways and scorns demagogic acts-this is
the assemblage of traits which in Gener-
al Mcclellan make up one of the most
efficient and best-balanced characters ev-
er called to act on a public stage. His
