GREAT UNION MEETINGS,
THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

From all parts of the country come
the most glowing accounts of tremen-
dous and overwhelming Union meet
ings, The people were accumulating
supplies, drilling and waiting for the
Chicago Convention to put an enemy
in the field, and now they arc striking
at all points and the great and decisive
political battle of 1864 is begun.
A Union ratification meeting was
held at Philadelphia on Saturday eve
ming, A dispatch says; "The largest
political meeting ever seen in this city
was held in Independence Square on
Saturday evening" The principal
speech was mado by Hon, John Cessna,
lifc long Democrat, who remained
with the party up to the Chicago Con-
vcnvontion. He could not swallow
the Chicago Platform, and it is said he
will bring with him into tho Union
ranks, at least Is, 600 Democrats,
A Union ratification meeting was
also held at Cincinnati on Saturday
last. The Cincinnati Commercial says
of the crowd: with the first shades
of darkness people commenced collect
ing at the spot, singly, by twos and
thrccs, by dozens, by scores, by hun
drcds, and by thousands, finally, until
the immense congregation filled, to n
denscly packed condition, every foot
Of tho ground"
The Union meetings held at Colum-
bus last week arc described by the
State Journal as the largest and finest
ever held in the city.
A largo and enthusiastic Union
meeting was held at Hamilton, Ohio,
ON Friday night Inst, addressed by
General Schenck, Col, Vandeverc and
Lew. Campbell,
Everywhere the friends of Lincoln
and Johnson are aroused, enthusiastic,
confident. Everywhere the Peace
Copperheads are divided, dospondont,
demoralizod, Let the friends of the
cause be active and vigilant, and Lin
coin and Johnson will sweep every
thing before them, New Jersey always
excepted .......

have demanded a change Of Admiais>

selected to carry this party into power,
and to conduct the government with

rIoCLELLAN,s LETTER.

In another column will be found
Gen. McClellan's letter ofacceptance.
We were formerly among those who
were called "McClellan men" AL
though we admitted Mcclellan to be
a military failure, we believed him
true until he wrote the Woodward let
.er. Since that time we have thought
Mcclellan Copperhead, that is, one
in league with the enemies of the coun-
try. and since his acceptance of the
Chicago nomination, we are certain
that there is where he stands.
In this letter will be found several
platitudes about the preservation of
the Union and, maintaining the Union
at all hazards, but nowhere does Nc
ClelIan promise to prosecute the a0dr.
Gen. Mcclellan must answer this
question in the affirmative before any
Union man can vote for him, viz =
l"Will you prosecute the war until the
rebel armies are destroyed" This
question is left unanswered, and the
presumption is, from the platform on
which he must stand and from the
politicians and traitors who nominated
him, that if elected, he will endeavor
to stop the war and attempt peace
able settlement.
In the closing portion of his letter,
Gen. Mcclellan shows tho complete
demagogue. lie will, he says, "restore
economy in public expenditures. -
How? By drawing s5,556 annually,
Or Major Generals pay, out Of the
treasury, as he has been doing for the
lost two years, for which he haSrendercd
no Serrice to the government. He expects,
he says, to rc-establish the supremacy
of the laws by the operation Of more
vigorous nationality, Gen. McClel-
Ian knows and all the world acknow!-
edges, that never in tho history of the
world did any people display such
vigorous nationality as the American
people have during the past three
years They have poured out money
and men by millions, organized an
Army and Navy which has aston
ishcd the world, and fought such bat
ties as were never read or dreamed of
in history Or fiction. If elected, he
expects also that We will "resumc our
commanding position among tho ma
tions of the earth" The United States
are expected to resume the command
ing position they had among the ma
tions of the earth under James Buch-
anan! Gen. Mcclellan knows that
the United States arc moro feared and
respected abroad to day, tenfold, than
they over were before. We arc now
one of the great powers of the world
and we have the army, the navy, and
the wealth to compel respect every
where, and to exert greater influence
than any one nation in existence
Away with such dcmagogucry
Gen Mcclellan has cast his lot with
the Coppcrhcads, and he must perish
with them. SO be it.
The Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Ohio) 1863-1886, 1864-09-15

DTD it over occur to the Coppcrhcad
Confederate Democracy that in defcn-
ding States Rights and Secession and
striving for power at the same time
they are grasping for power upon n
principle which would, if carried out,
defeat them? Tho South rebolcd be-
cause they wore not willing to submit
to the rule OF the majority, or because
hoircandidato for tho Presidency was
not elected. And the Copperhcads
contend that they had Alright to rebel.
Should Mcclellan receive tho vote OF
majority of the States at tho coming
election, tho Stalos which vote for Mr..
Lincoln would, according to the Cop
porhcads, havo tho right to rcbol.-
And Mcclellan would have no right
and no power "under the Constitu
ton, to cocrco them.

WINDS IN NIX. LINCoLN,s SAILS.

We stated some time since, when
the Eagte began to woo tho war Demo
Gratis and thought that war and peace
were reconcilable, that things so en-
tircly opposite, couldn't be harmonic
ed. Not much. The attempt was
made at Chicago, General Mcclellan,
a war-horsc, was hitched to a peace cart
and started on peace track, but Of
course, not being accustomed to trot-
ting on that sort of course, he fell TO
kicking and kicked the platform to
pieces.
Consequently, since the publication
of McClellan's letter of acceptance
(Which is good Union letter, but it
doesn't promise to prosecute the war;
Vallandigham, initiating the example
of his great master repudiator, Jeff.
Davis, has "repudiated" Mcclellan,
and refused to fill his appointments to
speak in Pennsylvania. A committee
is also to be appointed to wait on Mr..
Pendleton, who is the submiSsion-to-
the-rebels end of the ticket, and ad.
wise him not accept the nomination
with Mcclellan. The New York NeWS,
Ben Woods paper, says that Nc Clellan
must either adapt himself to the plat
form or the platform must be made to
harmonize with Mcclellan, and advises
the re assembling Of the Convention.
The editor of the Metropolitan Record,
in a letter to the Ne,US, announces his
intention to withdraw the support
promised in his paper, and donounces
Mcclellan bitterly. So they 60, dis
tracted, dcmoralizcd, impotent in their
rage, foiled in their treason, and con-
fused by that Providence who wills to
destroy them.
Other favorable winds for Mr.. Lin
coin are the Vermont and the Maine
elections, both of which have gone
Union. The Maine election is always
said to indicate the result of the Prcsi-
dental election. The Union gains in
this State have been large, and thes same
result may be expected in every other
State. Mcclellan will barely carry
Now Jersey.

MAINE.

The State Of Maine, the political
weather'cock of the country, has gone
Union. The wind blows in the right
direction Large gains over the ma
iority of last year. 50 of Vermont

Gen. McClellan's Respect for Jefr. Davis.
Our readers will remember the
speech of Col. Metcalf, delivered at
Carlisle, kentucky, April 18th, 1864,
and published in the Gazette of April
2Sth. Col Metcalf related the follow
ing interview with Mcclellan. This
will help to account for McClellan's
manner of fighting the rebels:
81 got my eyes on that young Ma
polean in tho Spring of 1861. L went
to sec Cen. Mcclellan, and in tho
course of the conversation I said to
him that JEFF, Davis was a scoundrel
and . ropudiator. He (McClellan)
Strengthened himself up quickly, and
said 81 do assure you, sir, that you
are mistaken. jeff. Davis is a perfect
gentleman, and will not do anything
unbeeoming a gentleman" l replied (:
"Woll, if u traitor, conspirator, thief,
repudiator, and the civil devil, who is
instigating all this murder, is his beau
ideal ofa per,e, gentleman, | hopo
our country will never be cursed with
his morality and virtue at the head of
affairs"

lievc | speak for the whole delegation

4 \ Geo. B. Mcclellan. in Sep
tember, 1861, broke up the Legisla-
ture of sovereign State, deliberately,
and with full purpose, in order to OK
ercise tyranny and oppression in ad-
vance OF Abraham Lincoln. Why,
Mr. President, how long do you sup
pose 1T was since the representatives Of
Maryland We're immurcd within the
walls of Fort Warren? Sixteen months
did Wallace and Scott, and their com-
radcs and colleagues, suffer imprison-
ment within the walls of that prison,
deprived of the sympathy of their
friends and the comforts of home
Sixteen long months the prison doors
were closed upon them, and the man
by whom they were closed was Geo.
B, Mcclellan, All the charges you
can make against Abraham Lincoln
and against Benjamin Butler ! can
make and sustain against this man
uco' d. MCClclldn.
Alex Long, the great peace Copper
head, also opposed the nomination of
Mcclellan, in the following words:
Now gentlemen of the convention
what have VIC complained Of for the last
three or four ycfrs? W hat has been the
burden Of complaint against Mr.. Lin
coin and his administration lie has
abridged the freedom of speech: he
has arbitrarily arrested citizens and
confined them in Basties, and he has
intericrcd with the freedom of elections
What have you proposed in these res
oIutions? You have, to 4 certain cx-
tent vIndicatcd the freedom Of speech
you have condemned arbitrary arrests
and denounced interference with the
freedom Of elections; and yet you pro
pose in George B. Mcclellan to place
upon that platform one who has gone
further in all three Of these mcasuI cs
than has Abraham Lincoln himself -
Kisses and applause George b. Nc
ClcIIan has not cOntcntcd himself with
the arrest OF n citizen here and there,
and incarccrating hlm in a bastiIc, but
has arrested an entire Legislature at
one order lie has also suspended the

complained ; Voices "Ncver."] lie
