His speteh wait clear, eloquent, and telling. He fin ales/id those present as ielloW-Union zuta—not Re publicans, Democrats, or Americans. tie had just come horn a field of victory—tae well-contested and glorious fields of Perunylvania. [applause.] With out disparaging the triumphs acnieved in sister States, he regarded the result in Pennsylvania as the most marked. In reference to the President, the speaker told a story of Irir. Lincoln, who invited him to the Sol diers' Home, and did him thelioner to read the let ter which he has indited and afterwards sent to the Illinois Convention. When he had done so, he said : " Well, Forney. what do sou think of itt" 1 said, "rdr. President, the criticism on your let ter will be, that you hau'n't said what you are going to do when the rebels had laid sown their arms and sued for peace." President Lincoln—" That is just what I did not propose to do. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. It reminds me of an old. Methodist elder in Illinois, Jabez Dounie, who attended a (I.4srifer enee and just as it broke up, a terrible storm came On. The members of the Conference began to con cult in reference to a certain stream near by, which had a bad habit of rising on such occasion; very suddenly, and rendering it difficult to get across. Elder Donnie cut short their discussion by inter rupting them and saying, Let us wait till we get to the creek, and then God will show us a way to get across.'" in conclusion, the speaker adjured hie hearers to use every effbrt to carry this State. For the-Demo cratic ticket to succeed in New York would rejoice Rem eon Davis more than to drive Gram to the wall and retain the Mississippi. lie leered that his friends here were too cementer: and satiated. Work, work, WORK was needed, as in Pennsylvania. Lec not Jeff Davie view the sad spectacle of the Empire State rolling into the ranks of the enemy ; for noth ing had strengthened the Government so much as the late elections. No, :she must follow Freedom's roll call which has sounded from Mame to California. Thanking his audience for their patient attention, Colonel Forney retired amid great, applause. General McClellan and the Woodward_ Letter. [Ft om the Franklin Repository.] The fact that General McClellan wrote the Wood ward letter against his wishes and convictions does not in any degree mitigate his perfidy and folly ; but it is the truth that it was not a voluntary offering to the Copperhead cause. I simply state what is con iteently ataerted and widely known, When I . declare that a devoted friend of General McClellan's, who either was expressly authorized to speak for him or felt that he had the right to do so, met Governor Curtin in the northeastern part of the State during the late canvass, to consult with him as to the ex pediency of General McClellan writing a letter declaring bimselt in favor of Governor Curtin's re election, or in some other way indicating his con viction that the cause of the army and of the Government demanded Governor Curtin's success. I have every reason to believe that such a proposi tion was made to Governor Curtin or to some of his confidential friends in the Tenth Legion, and that it was the subject or serious consideration. The exact result of the deliberations I do not pretend to know ; but Governor Curtin did not advise General. McClellan to throw himself into the political unt• test. Whether Governor Curtin thought his voice Would be impotent, or his friehdship fatal,T are not prepared to say ; but he did not summon the name Of McClellan to his aid. A consultation was had in this city, in which Dr. McClellan, brother of the General, Dore a conspi cuous part, at which it was resolved that the Gene ral must be made to throw Ilia voice into the contest in behalf of Woodward. Various efforts were made to induce General Mc- Clellan to throUT himself into the political etruggle in behalf of Woodward ; but all failed. He neither made the hoped-for speech, wrote the coveted let. ter, nor played companion to Woodward at therfair. In spite of all the political strategy- practised tlih)11 him, he retired to his quiet retreat an Jersey, un spotted by an open avowal of Cripperheadism. But the prospects of Woodward becoming more and more desperate from day to day, a renewed assault was made upon the Geceral to break down his rest cerice.and (wag him into the deadly embrace of his country's foes. A Southern adveitt • t er, named Salo- MOD,WaS chosen as chiefirn , LlT',:l: be d . eilvered the body according-to nom rtic tin ritLe tor'the funeral. He approached the General in the name of .Tudge Woouteard--was - specially authorized by the Judge to do so, and to'assrue him that Woodward would undoubtedly be elected by frdm 40,000 to 60,000, and that the only way to make the overwhelminepopu lar verdict carry with it Gen. McClellan's positive vindication, and insure his nomination for the Pre-. steer, cy, would be for the General to espouse Wood wale's cause openly, and thus , make the triumph., measurably his own. Thus hunted, worried, and flattered, he finally, at the very last hour, set his' house in order, made his last political testament that anybody will ever care to read, And' sank into the embrace of the foes of the gallant army he once led, and of the country that exhausted itself in fain less effort to make him great.
