Some OF the Reasons why Mcclellan
ShOuld not be elected,

NeWe nOt oull COOtcnuing Win ct

The war was forced upou tho government
10y band OF bold uuscrppulous conspira-
tors it was conceived in the most foul in.
Justice, It's violation of solemn faith
il was purjury, fraud, onl robbery, aud
| it was conspiracy against liberty,
against civilization, against mankind, and
the salvation OF tho nation As u permanent
aud sel.sustaining basis cannot be effected
till the destruction of the conspiracy is at
tanned bya defeat so Overwhelming and
oom,,e that heir crime and the great
crime of history will never again be at
tempted
The question whether the American Union
shall continue to exist as beacon light to
the oppressed millions of the earth and TO
the coming generations CT the future has
been submitted to the arbitramont OF arms
by the rebel insurgents aud the perpetuity
of our national existence must therefore
solely depend upon our ability to crush
out the hydra headed monster from tho
face of the earth Ivy a decisive victory of
our heroic armies.
The great issue is whether in this nine
toenth century, after all the struggles of
the past, a free people can govern them
selves peaceably by their own just aud
equal laws, or whether we must go back
to the bloody factions and military funds
of tho Roman Republic. And that ssno
can be met only by botting out tho con-
spiracy-its whole political and moral or
ganizotion from the face ofpoiticol history
The national honor and integrity must
be vindieatod or bloody treason must tri-
umph.
They who began this torrible struggle
arc solely responsible for its consequences
and must abide by Jehovah's decree that
{" they who take up the sword must per-
ish by the sword" The duties of the
hour therefore are plain to every thinking
patriot every instinct of patriotism urges
tho loyal citizens to an active support of
tlio administration, in this most critical pc.
riol of the war. The rebellion is stag
gering and reeling from the eifecta of the
mighty blows it has received from tho gal
qaut armies of Sherman and Sheridan, and
will soon die of sheer exhaustion unless
aid is obtained from the Copperhead party,
whoso-succoss depends apon great disastsr
to or aras and ne triumph QfMe re5gH-
ion.
JEFF Davis official organ said before the,
assembling of the Chicago Convention that:
ut is singular to remark that these States
have not only profound interest inthat for
eign election, Though without votes to mAu-
iD, but are exercising most con trolling
power in deciding it. they are also light
ing in the Yankee Presidential election ar
ter their own manner If Grant is engn-
oering for Lncoln's reelection, while Sher-
man is logrollpg for him about Atlanta
on the other hand we regard Gen. Lee as a
pipe layer for the Democratic conyenton
in Chicago, aud Gen, Early it ia said has
gone over to stump the States Of Maryland
and Pennsylvania, for the peace party.
~ certain war politician named Hunter,
had engageHentS to meet EARLY on the
stump, bat it is feared he will back out Of
them, and there iG probably nothing to
prevent our eloquent advocate Of peace,
from sweeping those States"
Now it is an indisputable fact, that Of all
the leaders of the army Of the Potomac,
Mcclellan was the most acceptable They
habitually spoke of him with comnaisance
and with expressions of respect. Though
abusing every other leader OF that army
they always used none but gracious Ian,
guage toward Gen. Mcclellan Is there
NOT d volume OF meaning in this simple dis
tinciOn made by them? Why should it
have been made, but for the feeling that it
was good for them? They indulge in de-
lnoniacal rawlings against Gen. Grant.
They style him " butcher Grant" No
Northern Uopperhead dare say, that Gen.
Grant is not every whit the equal of Gen.
MoClellrn in all the qualities Of genuine
manhood. The difference in rebel treat
ment can not be owing TO anything else thar
to their better appreciation Of Gen, McOlel-
lans generalship, being OF Il character bet
ter suited to the accomplishment Of their
heinous purposes NJ othef satisfactory
explanation can be given, (simlar partiality
is also shown by the rebels in favor Of
