MoClellnn first Fronosed the nraft.

Nothirg has been made use of against the ma
tioaal government more reoklessy or unsorupu
lousy than the natural popular dislike to the
military drafting. The bloodiest aud most
atIocious riot ever known in this country WAS
lomeuted in New York by artful cepperhead
demagogues on this very ground and all through
the country Democrats have opposed the draft
mud rendered il olious. Secret orders were
organized to resist it, enrolling officers were
shot, desorters protected and every agency eH-
plOyed against it, Yet the following letters
show that General George b. Mcclellan, tue
Democratic candidate for the Presidency, was
the first man in this war to propose draft.
"WAsHISdToN, August 20, 1861.
"Sr-I have just received the enclosed dis
patch in cipher Colonel Marcy knows what ho
says, aud is of the coolest Judgment. recon-
mend that the Secretary of War ascertain at
once by telegram how the enrolment proceeds in
New York and elsewhere, and that, if il is not
proceeding with great rapidity, drafts to be
made at once. We must have men without de-
ny.
"Respectfally, your obedient servant,
"GBoRGE B. Nc CLELLAE,
'Maior General U. s. A.
The following is q copy Of the urgent note Of
General Marcy, his father in-law and chief Of
staff.

conditional demand for an immediate draft Of the
additional troops you require. Men will not
volunteer now, and drafting is the only success
ful plan. The people wiH applaud such course,
rely upon it. will be in Washington to-mor-
row. ''R. B. MARCY"
These letters were written only month after
the first battle of Bull Run, when there was NO
occasion whatever for draft. The government
did not agree to McClellan's proposal, because
men were enlisted fast enough without draft,
the proof of which is seen in the fact that Sec
retary Cameron reported to Congress an array
of nearly seven hundred thousand embodied and
in the field, all raised by volunteering. All Of
the large Army of the Potomac, commanded by
General Mcclellan when he took the field, 1856, :
0O0 men, were volunteers. So were all the
troops who filled up that army after McClellan's
disastrous campaign against Richmond. The
men could have been procured no faster by draft
than they were by volunteering. Yet Mcclellan
put himself on the record promptly as in favor
Of Gdraft then The government did not believe
General Marcy's assertion that men would not
volunteer, and 1t, therefore, refused to order q
draft, and was fully justified by events in the
! faith it repOsed in the popular enthusiasm.
