WHAT THE REBELS EXPECT FROM THE McLEL.
Ian PARTY-eEN. L0GANs TEsTIMoNY

! democracy, IL worm most careful reading:
/ You, my fel ow-ceuntrymen, can say to
you that these rebels to-day are advocating
! the election OF George B. Mcclellan and
Gsorge II. Peudleton. | can prove it. And
hey have good reason for il, too. l don't say
this because l believe George B. Mcclellan
/ to be traitor, for | don't believe any such
thing. But believe be is used for he very
purpose | have stated, if elected Presiden
/ he would draw around him such men as Wood
/ Vaandigham, Richmond ard that Isrealite,
! Belmont. He would be only a tool in tn,
hands of these men, through which they would
act in order to give the Southern Uonfed6racy
! their independence Applause.
| There are many things, perhaps, that this
, administration has done that | would not have
done but yet l believe this: when my coun-
try is in extremes as it has been, am willing
| to overlook the minor faults and mistakes
which man may make, SO long as the good
of the country is the paramount object which
| be seeks TO obtain, | will accept him no mat
ter what his peculiar notions about these mi
nor points may be. | understand the issue of
this controversy to be war or no war. Union
or disunion, suppression OF the rebellion and
restoration Of the country, or cessation of hos
tilites aud permission of the rebels to have
| their independence. As Mr. Lincoln and Mr..
johnson are for prosecuting this war, and as
! the loyal men of this country are for helping
them, believing myself to be loyal, | am for
the men who stand on the war platform, no
matter by what party name they have been
called 10 the past, or what party differences
may have existed between them and myself in
former times. [Applause.l
| Not long ago, there was speech made in
Southern Alabama, by J. L. NJ. Curry. He
was a member of Congress when l served, and
is a very talented man. After the South Sc
ceded, and when this rebellion commenced, he
was elected member of the Confederate Con-
gress, ard he served there with credit to HIM
self, so far as man can do so in a Congress
OF this kind. (Laughter) He returned home
short time ago and made speech to his fel-
low citizens. 1 happened to be far down iD
Dixie at the time. l found one oEtheir papers
containing this speech II was made to his
fellow citizens. Now do you know who
Congressmans fellow citizens are in 4 South
ern Confederacy? The soldiers Of the rebel
army are he only felIow-cjtizens he has. Eve
ry man is in the army who is not 80 old that
he cannot carry gun, nor so young he can't
leave his mamma. (Laughter) If man
makes political speech there, he must make
it in the army and TO the army. There is 10
such thing as election polls, like we have here,
They elect Congressinen. Senators. aud every
thing ei,e III the army. lhe army is the
Southern Confederacy. Il is all there is of it,
and when we get that used up, the Southern
Confederacy is gone up. (ApplaIse.) Mr.
~
member that much depends upon the choice
the Northern meu make Tor a President the
incoming fall There will be at least Two
parties represented, to-wit: The party,
who will doubtless make an etfprt to have
Lincoln retained, and the peace party who will
make bold effort to elect man pledged to
give the Contsderacy justice ami restore peace
long desired and ardeutIy prayed for peace
to our bleeding county.
We hope, we trust, we pray that they may
be successful such a shout as never was heard
before, would spread over our afflicted South
II such be the happy result, our Independence
) will be established. But should Lincoln bt
re-eleced, our food hopes will be dashed to the
+ ground our independence but thing dream
r ed of, for we have exhausted our resources
, and could not possibly hope to be able to con
: tinue the war four years longer. Past expert
ence has taught us that should expect nc
favors at the hands of the domita6le tyrsn
r and usurper, Abraham Lincolu. Let us re
pose our trust in the God of battles, and anx
iously await the result
There is what Mr.. Curry says. He pray
ardently for the peace candidates, because b
e says if he is elected, their independence vii
= be forever established. How does he know
II He asserts it is TACT. These communica
y tions that have been going constantly be
ii tween the rebels OF the southern ConledeI
J. acy and the northern rebels ali assembled a
a Niagara Falls-might possibly explain hoy
e he knew SO much about what the Confederac
?, can expect from the peace men, il elected
:, Many things that have been done in thi
1t country will explain the reason why.
le This peace party, this anti-war party,
te made up of a strange kind OF men. They ar
f. very impatient for peace-at the same tin
le they know the kind OF peace they want wi
I'd involve the country in more terrible an
E. bloody war, in five years, than we have eve
had, or heard of. Applause. Mr.. Curr.
nt you see goes on to say, that ii Lincoln shou
r be reelected the hopes OF the Southern Co
E; federacy would be dashed TO the ground" al
r. 60 forth Now l don't propose TO join Nj
W Curry in his electioneering tour for this peal
at candidate, or any of his crowd. Il l find Il
ce leading rebels iu favor of man, don't thin
OF | ought to be, but if find them denouncir
as man, and opposing him as they do Mr., Ii
es, coin; l can't help thinking be is pretty goo
en- sort of fellow. (Laughter.) Now to
3r- you we could restore this country by suppre
ing the rebellion. There is no matter oil dou'
ep that we can destroy their armies-we can k
al every man that belongs to them, and SO far
ID I am concerned rather than see this Cover
er ment destroyed, would kill the last rebel
S. jeff Davis himsef--a OF them, and see the
Die bleeding corses stretched upon the grour
re and when the last one expired, would wa
or the stars and stripes over him, and cry Hes
Ill en- be blessed, we have a restored country on
to more" (Applause)
