McClernand--1SG3

ONE of the men who figured conspicu-
ously in the CopperheaG gathering re-
Gently held in New York, as a ConserVa-
tive soldier, was General McClernand, of
Illinois In his speeches he assailed the
Republican party, charging it with falling
to restore the Union, because it did not
consent to readmit at once and without
conditions, the Southern States to repre-
sentation in Congress.
In 1863 this General McClernand called
himself War Democrat He then avowed
sentiments on the subject of reconstruc-
ton in entire harmony with the Republi-
can party and consistent with its action
since on that subject. In evidence OF this
assertion we subjoin an extract from
speech made by General McClernand at
State Convention of War Democrats OF
Wisconsin, which he had been invited to
attend, and which was held in Janesyille,
September II, 1863 He then used the fol-
lowing language:
"AsI have said that slavery should not
stand in the way Of the Union, so l say
that States should not stand in the way,
because the national integrity is essential
to our peace. The more you think of this,
the clearer it will become If pupilage is
necessary before these revolted States can
return into the Union as States, give them
pupilage. [Cries of "Good, good."1 |

Could not Come In.

THE New York Tribune relates the fol-
lowing incident:
A venerable lady, an old resident of this
city, who bears an honorable name and
who, while the war lasted, did as much as
any soldier, and far more than many a
Younger woman, to aid the Government,
keep the hospitals supplied with lint and
delicacies for the sick, and hold the
wealthy circle in which she lived up to the
constant duty of spending their money
freely for patriotic purposes,this noble
old lady, with such social record to
crown her eighty years of wellspent life,
was actually intruded upon by gang of
Democrats calling themselves gentlemen,
when the following conversation took
place:
The Lady. "Well, gentlemen, to what
am indebted for this unexpected visit p
First Gent. care you not Mrs."
The Lady. " Certainly am"
Second Gent. "And the mother of Mr..
-, who holds such and such an Office in
Washington?"
The Lady "Yes, Mr.. - is my son"
Third Gent "Then l suppose, Madam,
you will be glad to accommodate as many
of the delegates to the Democratic Con-
vention as your house has room for ?"
The Lady. "I assure you, Sir, you are
much mistaken. No persons of that char
acter are ever welcome in my house.
[Rising and ringing the bell to the ser
want, who enters. Martha, open the door
for these persons. Gentlemen, you will
be good enough to relieve me from this
very unwelcome intrusion. l am at loss
to understand what / have done to give an
impression that could willingly harbor a
traitor in my house"
Exit roughs-in- broadcloth, looking very
sheepish, and contemplatively squirting
tobacco juice over the steps to the right
and left as they go.

THE BATTLE FOR THE RIGHT
BY THOMAS CLARKE.

On ye, who fill the patriot ranks,
Prepare the fight to wage,
To Heaven are due your grateful thanks,
For strength to mount the stage
Yet victory cannot be won,
Without a struggle hard;
And oh how sweet-the conflict done
To reap the rich reward
II.
Though hosts of rebel copperheads,
Like locusts, cloud the view,
No obstacle the patriot breads,
But hews his way right through;
He never stands to count the cost,
Nor murmurs, "No, I can't!"
He knows the fight cannot be lost
Our hosts are led by GRANT
III.
Then look to him He hewed his way
Through despots massed in strength,
Until the Blue devoured the Grey,
And victor proved at length.
By such like arts, in days gone by,
Alcides glory won,
Reversed the will of Destiny,
And conquered Acheron.
".
By such, when the last age began,
Our Washington was known;
And Lincoln, Sherman, Sheridan
BY such adorn our own.
Then shall we lag behind, or stop,
Ere we have won the height?
No! storm their works, and gain the top
God ever speeds the right

The Democratic Candidate.

MIR. HoRATIo SEYMOUR has written two
letters positively declining to be candi-
date for the Presidency. In the delega-
ton of the State he formally and pointedly
withdrew his name In the Convention
he announced that his personal honor re-
quired him to refuse to allow his name to

was no one familiar with New York poll

Spalding has just issued the following cir
cular to the clergy Of his church: s.
/" The frequent rains which have occur
red during the last month having proved
seriously detrimental to the crops, and now
threatening, should they continue, to defeat

who have been diyinely instructed to pray
to our Father who is in Heaven for our dali
" bread, are called upon to pour fourth
feryent applications to the Giver OF every
good and perfect gift, and to the Ruler OF
times and seasons, that He would vouchsafe
in His infinite bounty and mercy SO to con-
troll the laws which He has established that
the fruits Of the earth may not be blighted,
but may be abundantly provided for our
wants BY Him who openethi His hand and
filleth every living creature with His bless

THE SOUTHERN VoTE FOR PREsIDENT.--
Speaking of the design Of the Radicals to
elect President by aid of the Freedmen's
Bureau, the National Intelligencer says
"But it is as we'll that these desperate
demagogues should know that the American
people will not tamely submit to be de-
fraudcd of their rights, or to be cheated out
Of the election of President by fabricated
negro votes, as was recently done In this
city, whether it suits the convenience OF
General Grant or not" /
But will the northern Democrats stand
up to this position : aa Es4 i

geston that the Democratic National Con-
vention might recommend impartial suf-
frage," says: gz.Es2 &,sA.l 1as 80 +
Under whatever specious forms OF Ian
guage this heresy (negro sufragel may be
wrapped up, it is none the less impertlnents
and offensive to the honest convictions OF
the Conservative masses of the country.
The votes Of Ohio and Michigan repudiating
negro suffrage altogether by forty thousand
majority each, form the keynote to the real
feelings and convictions of the people,
which politicians will only tamper with at
their peril" IA glse @s
