MCCLELLAN MASS MEETING IN NEW
YORK

The friends OF Gen. Mcclellan held an i'm
mense mass meeting In New York on We'd
nesday evening at Union Square, and formally
nominated him for the Presidency. The num-
Der OF persons present Is variously estimated
to have been from 5000 to $1,000. The Times
(rep.) says:
"The Mcclellan meeting last night in Union
square was very large-one Of the largest po-
litical gatherings ever held in this City. As a
demonstration OF numbers 1t was entitled to all
the importance that the Opposition press will
claim for tt,-and was certainly quite as for
midable as the most jealous advocates of
McClellan's nomination for the Presidency
could have hoped. But this is all there was
Of 1t. The speaking amounted to nothing at
ALL Hon John b. Haskin was the most dis
tinguished and most eloquent person who at
tempted TO address the gathering,-and no one
OF the thousands present deenne 1t W or th while
to listen to what he said
"The resolutions embody with substantial ac-
curacy the spirit Of the meeting. 1t was marked
by vehement denunciations of the Administra-
tion by virulent abuse OF Mr.. Lincoln, by de.
unmeasured praise Of Gen1 Mcclellan. No
attempt whs made to define the position or set
forth the principles of the Democratic party.
"This meeting adds proof Of the fact, which
was already evident, that in this city, at all
events, M cClellan is largely the favorite Of the
Democrats for the nomination. How it is in
the interior and in other States, is not as yet

have mass meeting at Syracuse next week, at
which, we understand, Fallandig ham is to be
present. Whether the object Of this demon
stration is to arrange for putting him on the
ticket with Mcclellan, or to insist upon the
adoption at Chicago Of Peace platform, re-
mains to be seen"
