(£7* During the last couple of weeks a great number of troops (the new volunteers,) have left this place for the seat of war. In passing through town in the cars they have made the welkin ring in cheering for M'Clellan. In deed, the soldiers appear almost unanimous fo.r'“ little Mac," and if not disfranchised by Abolition trajtora, they will give him ‘a big lift on the day of the election. Lei Abraham Lincoln and his crew of of fice-holders, “loyal thieves” and shoddyitee clear the track, for we tell them the people ere in ft bad humor, and will not be trifled with a day longer. They believe in the old eaying that *' resistance to tyrants i« obedi ence to God/' and intend to act on that be lief. — A Republican exchange still defies pnh opinion, and exclaims: —“ All hail Lincoln 1” The storm that is gathering over hie head will te pretty awedf ,aJI COME BACK, M’CLELLAN P* Whan the “ smutty joker’ 1 dismissed tha glorious ftI’CuBLLAX fron tho comlnaud of tbo army of the Potomac, a touching scene took place, M’Clella'N read the order of dismissal, and imntfcdiatoly prepared to take leave of .his bravo army, lie mounted his horse, and rodo along tho entire line. His bravos supposed he was reviewing them, and they sent up cheer after cheer from every regiment. Having reached the end of the line, ho wheeled his horse, and, taking his cop from his bead, again proceeded slowly along tho line. He gave no word of command, and loafs were in his eyes. “ Farewell, my brave boys, God bless you !” were tho words ho uttered in front of every regiment. Then it was that the veterans composing the army of the Potomac began to understand what had taken place ; then it was that they discovered Chat the remorseless, treacherous and ignor ant Lincoln, had deprived them of their be loved commundor. A voice like thunder went up. Hark! “ Come back, M’Clellan, for God's sake, M’Clellan, come back I” WI'.'XCV These wore tho word?, thiu tho cry that vibrated all along tho lines. Regiment re sponded to Regiment, and for nearly an hour the same cry could be hoard, “ come back, M'Clellan 1” The soldiers wept like chil dren, and so did their dismissed commander. Men long accustomed to hardships, priva tions and blood, wore 1 unmanned when told that M'Clellan - was to leave them forever. Napoleon in his palmiest days never pos sessed the affection ofhls soldiers in a great er degree that did M’Clellan possess tho af fections and confidence of tho men who com posed tho army of the Putoinac. They knew him to be a wise, prudent and brave com mander ; they knew that he felt for his men, and willingly shared their privations; they knew him to bo a good man, a christian, and a true patriot, who was willing to sacrifice all he possessed, even life itself, if by so do ing ho could restore the Union and secure peace. Thus believing, they loved M'Clell an, and were almost frantic when they heard that he had been taken from them by the cold-hearted Lincoln. ■ Tho dismissal of M’Clellan was as devil ish ns it was treasonable and wicked. It was not because the administration had lost •confidence in his military capacity. N0,.n0. It was because M'Clellan desired to carry on the war, not for the purpose of abolishing slavery, hut to restore tho Union. lie was for the Union as it was and for the Constitu tion as it is, and because he entertained these views, and repudiated as wicked and trea- sonable, the mad Abolition notions that had been hatched in New England, he was dis missed from his command. Had M’Clrllan’s policy been adhered to — : and it was the poli- cy that both Congress and Mr. Lincoln had subscribed to —the rebellion would longsince have been crushed, with a restored Union and restored good feeling. But Abe Lincoln did not want this—his political prospects, he felt sure, would he very much damaged if tho war should end. lie desired the war to go on, fur this was his political capital, and ho wanted to be re-elected. Hence he dismissed M’Clf.llan. The people this fall will respond to the cry of the army of tho Potomac. They will tell M’Clellan to “ come back.” After the 4th of March he will be the commander-in-chief of our army, and old Arte will again return to Illinois, there to end his infamous life. There never was, and* never could he a time of greater necessity for immediate or ganization, and for earnest and united effort. There is much to encourage the Democracy and inspire them to act’on. The very hit terness of the opposition, the abuse of their authority, their violation of the Constitution, their usurpations, their quarrel and divisions, all co operate to warn men of their inability and corruption and of their danger, or of the certainty of untold ruin should Lincoln be re-elected. As wo value our liberties and the welfare of our tamilies, we should do our whole duty in the coming canvass. If wo succeed, our reward will be ample. If we fail we will have nothing to do with which to reproach our.-elves. Wo can at least rest with the satisfaction that the blood of mill ’ions, the sorrow of coming generations and the destruction of our government was not consummated through any act or base indif ference of ours. old National laleUiyenccr, at Wash ington city, is out strong for M’Clellan ; so is the Louisville Journal (Prentices’ paper.) Both these able papers wore Whig organs, and this is the first time they ever supported a Democrat for any office. Ex-President Fillmore, wo see it stated, will soon take tlx stump for “ little Mac;” also a son of Ex-Proaident Harrison. In deed, nearly all men who are not engaged in swindling the Government, are arraying themselves against the traitor Lincoln. Theo.

Another Republican Convention has btfbn called, to tttoot at Cincinnati, on tho 28th of this month, “for friendly Consultation, imd for the selection of candidates fur the Presi dency arid Vice Tho call is signed by thousands of the leading Republi cans of the various States, embracing many U. S. Senators, Members of'Congress, itc. It is evident, thercfjro.’that a very strong effort is to bo made to get Lincoln to decline. Indeed, a number of committees have already waited upon the “groat incompetent,” all having tho same object in view. Tims far, however, Lincoln remains obdurate —ho lias not consented to decline tho nomination ten dered him by his office-holders and paid me nials, nor is it probable lie will do so. Prom the hour ho took tho oath of office (on the 4th of March, 18GI,) he has been trimming liia sails-for a re-election. This object has occu pied‘his little mind by day and by night, and it is not much wonder he now feels loath to givo way to another. Notwithstanding tho “ pressure” that is brought to bear against him, our opinion is he will not yield. He is a selfish, ignorant, corrupt, reckless man, who would rather see Ins part}' go down than to complv with the demands now made-upon him. lie feels Thai 'he has done everything thetftost reckless Abolitionists required of him, and ho now asks recompense. Tie has, at their bid ding, violated his oath, trampled the Consti tution and laws under his feet, recognized ne groes as equals, dismissed scores of tho ablest officers in the army because of their politics, used tho people’s money without legal author ity, to purchase provisions anti clothing fur a mlf million of vagabond blacks, allowed de faulters and corrupt contractors to swindle :ho people out of hundreds of millions of dol lars, trampled down Ihc great bulwarks of civil liberty, (the freedom of speech and of the press,) abolished the writ of habeas corpus. a right which no other donpot on-earth would seek even to abridge, and declared military control where the civil tribunals were in the faithful discharge of their duties. Nay more, he has attempted to inaugurate a system by which one-tenth of th« citizens of a State, instead of a majority, may form a State Guv- eminent, has prohibited the circulation of newspapers in the United States mnilh be cause they criticised his acts and exposed his villaniea, has paid money to scoundrels tocir culate falsehoods and suppress truth, has in voked a spirit of mob law in the North, has shielded the rich from the clutches of his draft officers, has arrested good and true men and patriotic citizens without legal authority, dragged them from their homes, friends anti families, sent them beyond the limits of the State in which they resided, incarcerated them in bastiles, and falsely denounced them as traitors ; in a word, having filled half a mill ion of graves, and filled the country with mill ions of widows and orphans,Jio now refuses to make peace or restore the Utrion until white men and negroes are red need to a common lev el— until our heretofore proud white republic shall become a disgusting mass of mongrels and hybrids. All these things ho has done at the bidding of a remorseless set of traitors, thieves and | scoundrels, and now .some of the very men who urged him to tins suicidal course, ask him to decline the nomination tendered him by the packed Baltimore Convention. lie will not do it, and wo are glad of it. He is determined to run, even if none but his of fice-holders and the shoddyites support him. Good! lie is the man we want to fight, and we hope and pray that he may continue ob stinate, and disregard the threats of those who desire him off the course.

Sir—Your favor of the I3th came duly to hand during my absence, but I was greatly delighted to see by the papers that -you had so large and enthusiastic n meeting for M’Clellau.

M’CLELIAK’S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. We publish in.nnother column 'the letter of General McClellan, accepting the nomi nation df'him by-the Chicago 'Convention an tho'Democratic condidatA for the Presidency of the United Stales. Every lino and word of it breathes the spirit of the loftiest and purest patriotism, and gives to every honest lover of the'Constitution and the Union n de lightful assurance that -both -may yet bo ro stered by wise statesmanship and a just and •conciliatory-'policy. The sentiment in favor of attaining peace by negotiation, if possible, is so harmonised with a fixed purpose to pre serve our national unity at all hazards, that those who have charged the Democratic party with n design to end the war unconditionally are dumbfounded, while the Democrats them selves rejoice at McClellan’s clear exposi tion and noble vindication of their political principles. What in tho platform were ap parent inconsistencies, he has completely re conciled, while tho distinct and manly ex pression Of his own opinions respecting tho situation of tho country and tho course ho would, if invested with Executive power, pursue, in order to effect an honorable and satisfactory settlement of our national trouble, commends him to tho esteem and confidence of every candid man and every sincere pa triot. In short, we are fully persuaded that if our Union is to bo preserved and ponce re established, the work can only bo done under the auspices of on Administration such as McClellan would introduce, and upon tho salutary principles which lie has enunciated. WEEPY DESPAIRS. . Mr. -G-reelt, editor of the New York Tri bune, is in a had way. lie sees that Lin-, coln and his treasonable Abolition support ers are doomed and lound to go under. In hopeless agony lie asks “ is there no hone left for us?” From the Tribune of Monday lastvre take the following paragraph. Speak ing of the gloomy prospects of its party, tout paper says; “ Now what are we to do f Are the mis takes of the past beyond remedy f Are the lethargy and despair that had .crept over the public mind irremediable? Is the strength which the opposition had gathered through those mistakes so potent that resistance is vain ? Must we submit to defeat, not through the inherent strength of r.ur opponents, but In succumbing to the weakness winch we ourselves have generated and nurtured ? Is there no hope left for ns I” No, Mr. Gueelv, there is “ no hope” for you. The people have had enough of Lin coln and his “loyal thieves,” and in Novem ber they will put their feet upon their necks. Down you must and shall go ; this is no party contests it is a contest of the people against traitors, thieves, infidels, and perjured scoun drels. On the 4th of March next Lincoln can again put on his long cloak and Scotch cap, hnd march. Which Will You Choose ?—General Mc- Clellan, in his letter accenting the Chicago nomination, said: “The Union is the one con dition of peace and we ask no more." Abraham Lincoln, in his letter to the rebel commissioners, July 8. IPG4, said : Any proposition which embraces the rest • ration of peace, the integrity of the whole Union, and the abandonment of slavery, and comes by any authority that can control the armies now at war with the United States, will be received and considered by the Exec utive Government of the United States, and will bo met bv liberal terms on substantial and collateral points Let the Unionists of the -country pouder seriously upon these two points, and decide which of the two candidates is most worthy of confidence and support I Released.—Tho man Howard of the New York Times, who was, some time since im prisoned in Fort Lafayette for appointing a fast and a draft day in advance of the Rail spliitter, has hecn released by order of the Secretary of War. This is one of the bene fits of not being a “ copperhead.” His ama nuensis, Mallison, is yet in durance, although but the instrument of -Howard’s scheme.— "What a good thing it is to have friends at • ) court. (tT" Tho Chicago Journal , a Republican paper, says that the railroad officers in that city reported, from tho day of the first arri val of visitors to the Democratic National Convention until tho second day of tho ses sion of‘the Convention, iwo hundred and thir ty thousand passengers / Chicago was a mass meeting for four days. During that time wo did not see a single man who acknowledged himself to be a “ Republican.” fl©* Lincoln's re-nomination was a great favor to the Confederates, as it will distract his attention between tho wai and his politi- cal canvass. He will continue incompetent men in important commands until after tho election. lie will essay too keep one eye on the South and tho other on the North, but not being wide enough between them to do thai successfully, he will direct both the oftenesi where he is directly personally interested. (CT* A man named Nelson Burlingame has been arrested at Washington city for stealing lunatics for substitutes out of the Insane Hos pital. Ilis arrest was all wrong. Lunatics have controlled tho Government for the past four years, so that it is timesome of that class should do a little of tho fighting. Tho only error the fellow may have made was in mis taking Washington for Boston. Hadn’t our “loyal” friends hereabouts, who'have been emptying tho criminal list, better look sharp?

Change, New Jersey, 1 September 8, 1804. | Gentlemen : I hnvo the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of your letter informing me of my nomination by the Derfioorutie Nation al Convention, recently assembled at Chica go, as tbeir candidate at the next election lor President of the United States. It ia unnecessary for me to say to you that this nomination comes to mo unsought. I am happy to know that when the nomi- nation was made the record of my public life was kept in view. The effect of long and varied service in the army during war and peace lias been to strengthen and make indelible in my mind and heart the love and reverence for the Union, Constitution, laws and flag of our country, impressed upon me in early youth. These feelings have thus far guided the course of my life, and must continue to do bo to its end. The existence of more than one govern ment over the region which once owned our flag is incompatible with the peace, the pow er, and the happiness of the people. The pieservation of our Union was the solo avowed object for winch the war was com menced. It should have been conducted for that object only, and in accordance with those principles which I look occasion to declare when in active service. Thus conducted, the work of reconciliation would bnvo been easy, and we might have reaped of our many vici »riea on land and sea. The Union was originally finned by the exercise of a spirit of conciliation and. com promise. To restore and preserve it, the same spirit must prevail in dar councils, and in the hearts of the people. The reestablishment of the Union in nil its integrity sg, and must continue to be, the indispen-ahle Condition in any settlement.— So soon as it is clear, or even probable, that our present adversaries are ready for peace, upon the basis of the Union, wo should ex- haust all the mources of statesmanship prac ticed by civilized nations,.and taught by the traditions of the American people, consistent with the honor and interests ot tlie country, to secure such peace, re-establish the Union, and guarantee for the future the constitution ul rights «f every State. The Union is the one condition of peace—we ask no more. Let me add what I doubt not vus, although unexpressed, the sentiment of the convention, as it ia of the people they represent, that when any one Shite ia willing to return to the Union, it should he received .at once, with a full guarantee of ail its constitutional rights. If a frank, earnest, and persistent effort to obtain those objects should fail, tljo respon sibility for ulterior consequences will fall upon those who remain in arms auainst the Union. But the Union must ho preserved at all hazards. 1 could not look in the face i f my gallant comrades of the army and navy, who have survived bo many bloody battles, and tell them that their labors and the sacrifices of ao many of our slain and wounded brethorn had been in vain ; that we had abandoned that Union fur which we have so often periled our lives. A vast majority of our people, whether in the nrmy and navy or at home, would, as I would, hail with unbounded joy the perma nent restoration of peace, on the basis of the Union under the Constitution, without the ef fusion of another drop of blood. But no peade cun ho permanent without Union. As to the other subjects presented in the resolutions of the Convention, I need only say that I should seek, in the Constitution of the United States and the laws framed in accordance therewith, the rule of my duty, and the limitations of executive power; en deavor to restore economy in public expen diture, re-establish the supremacy of law, and, by the operation of a more vigorous oa- tionality, resumo our among the nations hf tlm earth ing P° Blt *oii .
