THE WEATHER. Yesterday was one of the
warmest days of the present summer, and,
following quickly on the recent cool spell,
found the citizens of New York quite unpre-
pared for the visit. The causes of the hot
weather have been fully explained in the
HERALD, when its approach was predicted,
great area Of high pressure which now cx-
tends over the West will bring us cool
weather again, which will last for a longer
period than the last brief but refreshing
term. To-day we will have brisk and cool
southwesterly to westerly winds, with par
tial cloudiness and possibly somo rain.

General McCIcIlnn's Campaign Letter


We print an electioneering letter by Gen
eral Mcclellan, sent us from the rooms of
the National Democratic Committee in this
city. 1t is offered to the press for publica-
ton at period long subsequent to its date,
as if it took Mr. Tilden's committee some
time to make up their minds that such ON
Endorsement would help his canvass. Of
course this letter is not the spontaneous
production of General Mcclellan, any moro
than his famous and fatal political letter
from Harrison's Landing was in 1862. That
imprudent production caused his retirement
from the army, and although it answered its
purpose of making him democratic candi-
date for the Presidency that empty mark of
party favor was no compensation for military
observation during the last three years of
the war. General McClellan's indiscreet
and superseryiceable friends have been
the worst enemies of his fame They
benefit neither him nor the democratic
party by inducing him to write CAM
pagn letter in support of Tilden, and ex-
posing him anew to the captious criticism Of
the republican press. His letter tends to
recall the canvass of 1864 when Mcclellan
was pitted against President Lincoln on a
disgraceful peace platform with Pendleton,
of more recent rag money notoriety, rs the
second name on the ticket. This dragging
of General Mcclellan out of a past which
his best friends should wish forgotten plays
into the hands of the republicans and assists
them in their attempt to revive old issues.
General McClellan's good sense would have
kept him aloof from party politics He has,
of course. yielded to the pressure of New
York friends in writing this letter. We do
not wonder at the hesitation and delay Of
Mr.. Tilden's committee in giving it to the
press. They must feel that the Tilden
canvass is in pressing need of help
when they publish the Endorsement of
tho peace candidate of 1864 and the
associate of Pendleton as campaign
document. If the letter supplied fresh
arguments for the election of Mr.. Tilden
the force of it's reasoning might COM
pensate for the "reminiscences suggested
by its source, but it only rehearses the stale
arguments for a change of administration,
and contains nothing which could weigh
straw in the canvass one way or the other,
apart from the signature. When the demo-
cratic candidate of 1864 gives o certificate of
character to the democratic candidate Of
1876 he exposes himself to q revival of
malignant criticism without any benefit to
the democratic canvass. But General Nc
Clellan is gentleman, and he has the
candor to say in this electioneering missive,
Il have the highest respect for the personal
character and intelligence of the republican
candidate for the Presidency and believe
him to be an upright gentleman" We
regret that any Of the friends of General
Mcclellan should have taken advantage of
the lersonal obligations under which they
have laid him to conscript him into the
service of political party.

All hail the flag! Raise high the flag of our fathers! Let southern breezes kiss it! Let southern skies reflect it.! South ern patriots will love it, southern sons will defend it, and southern heroes will die for it! And as it's folds unfurl beneath the heav- ems let our voices unite and swell the loud invocation, Flag of Union, wave on! wave eyer! But wave over freemen, not subjects; wave over states, not provinces. Ana now let the voice of patriots from the north and from the east and from the west join our voices from the south, and send to heaven our universal, according chorus. Wave on, flag of our fathers! Wave forever! but wave over a union of equals, not over a despotism of lords and vassals; over land of law, of liberty and peace, and not of anarchy, opprcs- sion and strife! Immense and long continued applause, with wild cheers for the flag, in the midst of which Mir. Hill retired.

Will you not build up new prosperity for all the people on the old foundations of American self-government, on peace, recon ciliation, and frate rnity between all sections, all classes, and all races embraced within our system of American common wealths; on the frugality and economy in all governments; on honesty and purity of administration, and having lost your prosperity through governmental misrule, regain that prosperity through governmental reform?

The Present Democratic
 Party.

From q speecA 6y Lyaaan Trun6un oTIM.
 The Democratic party of to. day is no more the same party known by that name in 1856 than is the Republican party of to day what it was in 1856. The main issue between parties in 1856 has been settled, and settled forever. Neither the purposes nor the per sons comprising the political par. ties of 1876 are the same as they were in 1860. More than two. thirds of the population of the United States to. day were unborn or children under fifteen years of age in 1860. This is shown by the census.
 What are the purposes of the present Democratic pasty? Un. like the Republican party, it has not been on trial to the same ex- tent the last five years, so we can judge it by it's acts; but it Irofes ses to be be for reform, and for an observance sf the Constitution and laws. Arc the professions put Forth in good faith? We We know by experience that the

THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, 1876.

Republican party is false and faithless to it's pledges, that it is thoroughly corrupt, and does not possess tile power to reform itself. The Democratic or opposition party may be no better, but we have some evidence that it is better.
 The present House of Repre- sentatives is in the opposition, or Democratic side, if that suits any one better. It has brought to lighs and exposed abuses, corrup- tion, and dishonesty in almost every branch ofthe public service, and thereby done much to correct them. This could never have happened had both branches of Congress been Republican, as the experience of l871-2 shows. The Democratic House succeeded in reducing the expenses of the Government for this year about $50, ,OOO, 900, and would have made still larger saving but for the opposition of Republican Senate. This great reduction was made by dispensing with numerous. useless officers, and re- fusing useless and unnecessary appropriations.
 So much good has already come from an opposition House during one session of Congress. know it was charged that it was Con federate House, and high officials, when detected in prostituting their offices for mercenary and personal ends, thought it sufii- cient answer to reply that the vil- lainy was exposed by committee of Confederates, as if it were al- lowable to use official position for mercenary and selfish purposes, and steal the public moneys, pro- vided no one but Confederates exposed the iniquity. =
