.. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.
The greatest mass meeting ever held
in New York took place this evening, in
Tammany Hall, Fourteenth street and
Union Square. The Democratic torch
light procession, now in progress, has in
its ranks, according to the estimate of an
experienced police captain, over ninety
thousand persons. After junction had
been effected with the delegations from
the adjoining counties, the length of the
procession exceeded ten miles.
The following letter from General Nc
Clellan was read his emphatic endorse
ment of the Democratic candidates being
received with enthusiastic demonstra-
tons of applause:
New YORK, Oct 5, '6S.
To Douglas Taylor, Esq, Chairman DC.
My DEAR SIR: l have the pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt Of your invita-
ton to preside over the Democratic meet
ing of Monday next. i have long since
determined to abstain from further par
ticipation in political life, and, therefore,
find myself compelled to decline the hon
or you prefer me. l should, however, be
glad to attend the meeting as a private
citizen did not engagements of a domestic
nature, rendered imperative by my long
absence from the city, upon the day in
question prevent
l gladly avail myself Of this opportun-
ity to express my continued hearty sym
pathy with the Democratic cause, and my
wishes-ardent wishes-for the success
of those constitutional principles for
which the recent war was undertaken by
the North. Separated as thus am from
the distinguished soldier who has been
chosen as the leader Of our opponents, l
know that you agree with me in the high
est respect fer the services he has render
ed our country, but it is my conviction
that measures OF the party which has
placed him in nomination are but cOmbi-
nations of strife, and can never restore
peace constitutional supremacy, and
thereby complete the work which he and
the other brave soldiers so ably com
menced The war was only the first epoch
in the history of the struggle in which
We have been long engaged. The work
of the soldier is, / trust, forever ended,
and it remains for the people to fulfill
the great objects for which they or their
sons and brothers were called to the field.
A restored Union of States and hearts, AN
invigOrated Constitution, to be firmly
and faithfully supported, the maintenance
of the National credit inviolate, and the
establishment Of National and State rights
in all their integrity and thus true har
nony and lasting peace. These are
the objects for which every citizen should
now strive, and believing they rest in the
success of the Democratic cause, by the
election of the eminent statesman select
ed to represent the party, it is my inten-
ton to sustain that cause as private
citizen. With the request that you will
convey to the gentlemen Of the Commit
tee, and my other friends for whom you
act, my sincere thanks for the compli-
ment they have paid me, ] am most truly
yours, GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.
