Two months that such a man as Gen. Mcclellan
existed. We make rovm for the following
extracts:
Northern men have made many sacrifices tor the

ssk them to sacrifice their political ambition. We
desire them to unite upon single Presidential
candidate. We appeal rn them to secnre the ungn-
imsns election Of Major Gen. Grant.
We make this appeal nct much to the people
as tothe professional politicians. We know mat

Therefore we appeal TO the politicians. II must be

Insignificant and unknGwn, he IL our greatest rili-
tafy leader, and the greatest General~Amerlca has
produced. The incopsis tency Of Lincoln has LEFT
him no real friends even in his own party, and his
coarse kes have offended all respectable people.

Grant.
It's Tor this reason that we nominate Gen. Grant
-unise in supporting him, The politicians viii prac-
Ftieay give UP very little; for they cannot, and do
not hope 10 be successful against Gen. Grant
Their only hope is to kill Grant off before the
election, and we must emphaticaliy assure them
that this IL impossible. II they will calmly consid

thing to gain and nothing to lose ny uniting upon

Is inevitable IL they run any man against him.

objection TO their all Claiming Grants eiec-
uon as victary for their own tactions if
they will only unite In electing him. General
Grant is very reticent man. He says very little
and does great deal. He is celebrated for his
deeds, not FOR his words. Now, we shall not ask
him tn speak before election. We shalt rather ad-
wise hin, TO continue silent. We are content to
accept him upon his past record. The Chicago

We leave such lies t1 neutraiixe each other, aud
are satisfied 10 take him as De IL. We appeal 10
men of all parties to do the same thing. IL in
enough TO know that Gen. Grant has just the quail
ties the country needs in a President, and no one
should care q, pin for hts oItnions upon defunct
questions Of color pol ties or what not. The
war is the only question before the people, and
N. Grant is clearly right upon that.
We have said that General Grant, u elected
President, would soon end the war His unani-
nous eiecuoR would end the war at once. THE
rebels have relied upon our Political divisions -
and aias! no, witl1Ddt cneouFagemeDt--as q great

Even now they expect the cssaing Presidential
election result In Northern civil war, aud this
expectation Is the of their de serate attempt

that love the UniOn better than party, and their
last hope viii be swept away. The sebei leaders
are ehYewd, crafty men, and they base their catcu-

Of the politics Of the North. They fosgcs, hOwev-
