very respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
GEORGE b. MCCLELLAN,
Major General Commanding.
Mark the fact that Gen. NJ Clellan here
distinctly asserts, months before even the
preliminary proclamation Of emancipation
was issued, that the "r:yh Of the Govern.
ment to appropriate permanently to its
own service claims to slave labor, should
be asserted" Hs also recommends the
emancipation of "aR the slaves within .
particular State" "upon grounds Of null
fary necessIy." Now, We ask the fair
minded Democrat, if ABRAHAM LINCOLN
has done more with regard to the negro
than Gen. Mcclellan recommended fully
two years ago? He has armed able
bodied slaves that they might fight for the
Union. That was merely asserting "she
right Of the Government to appropriate
permanently to its own service claims to
slave labor" He has declared the slaves
of certain rebsllious States to be free.
What is that but extending the principle
Of appropriating slave labor to "aK the
slaves within . particular State, thus
working naanxmission in such State 2"
And all this has been done by Abraham
Lincoln, as recommended by Geo. NJ Clel-
Ian, "upon grounds Of military necessity"
Two months after the Harrison's Land
ing letter was written, the President issued
the preliminary proclamation of emanci-
patton, and at once the whole Democratic
party snuged danger ahead. estate
Rights" were about to be invaded; "nig-
gerS" were to swarm throughout the en-.
tire North aud the war was to be per-
verted into an "Abolition crusade" That
party to-day vields no argument more Wig
orously against the Administration than
that which is afforded i. BY the arming of
negroes and the freeing of the slaves of
Rebels. And yet every act of President
Lincoln in relation not only to the slaves
Of Rebel but also Of Loyal States, is en-
aorsed BY the terms of Gen. M'Clellan's
letter, who is now the candidate for the
Presidency of that same Democratic party.
The author Of the principal arbitrary ar.
rest of the war, the first official to recon-
mend draft, and the advocate Of negro
emancipation-such is the candidate of
the Democracy who are opposed to sll
these acts Of "tyranny and usurpation "
