It need not be disguised that Gen

the extent and warmth of the popu
lar enthusiasm every Where manifested
in his favor to thepersecutions of
which he has teen ade the object;

and to the unjust o loquy by Whieh

in this day of trial and perplexity. -s.
Possessing a mind more remarkable
for solidity than brillianty, calm in
his judgments, deliberate in his pur
poses, but, after deliberation, tena
cious of his resolves, he presents a
combination of intellectual qualities
and mental traits which, though rare
in one so young, may be justly held
to derive fresh strength and beauty
from their union with the unspent
vigor of early manhood,
-Such we suppose to be some of the
grounds on which the candidacy of
Gen. McClellan may be justly vindi
cated before the American people, and
the spontaneous enthusiasm elicited
by his name, as well in the walks of
private life as in the camp of the soil
-dier, tea sufficient , token of' the earn
estness, with which these motives of
personal confidence are cherished by
nuiltitudes of, the people.
And if these are the personal attri
butes which deservedly command for
Gen.. McClellan the respect and confl
dence of hitt:,countrymen, it is only
just to sititthat his politiCal principles
are such f; as commend themselves to
the cordial acceptance of every lover
and sepporter of the Union, based on
the Constitution and the laws made
in pursuance thereof. He stands to
day as the representative embodi
meat of those principles which, at one
time in the history -of this sad war,
enabled the nation to present an uzi
'ditided front against the- revoluition
nry vielesee-of arrifed sedition at the
South and the equalty revolutionary
exactions of political radicalism at
the North. If President Lincoln had
possessed the requisite steadfastness
lo preserve the consistency of his o
pinions—if he had not yielded to a
"pressure" from which he asked oth
,ers to relieve the country, without
haring the strength of will to relieve
himself from its growing dernanda—
lie - Might to-day have stood in the
same commanding attitude, - and, so
standing, might have leaned on the
support of a loyal and a united peo
ple. -But he has chosen to compli- .
eats "his position, and therefore the,
fort:noes of the Union, so far as they
are subject to his control, with poll
cieslying not only outside of the Con
stitution, but conceived in palpable
contradiction with its, letter and spir
it, as-that instrument is construed
:tad interpreted by many, we believe
`by a - vast Majority of the loyal peo
ple of the United States. From these
embarrassments and complications
General McClellan is free, and the
advantage ground which: this consid
eration affords him is apparent to all,
and cannot but have its weight in de,
termining the preponderance of the
popillar judgment, as it shall - incline
to the candidlicy of the one or of the
other, according to their comparative
opportunities arid capapities for deal
ing with - the questions involved in a
restoration of the Union. The_plecig
es and commit Tents which President
Lincoln has assumed by his extra
constitutional proclamations, and
which are re-affirmed by his late
manifesto prescribing the terms of
peace, render it , impossible for.US to
expect_anything like a pacification of
our troubles . :undir his Administra
tion Tand the success of his military
conatet - duet - out - utter 10 - ttitiost
sangnine,any
. better. hope- that he
will succeed in exterminating-. the-ele-
ments of dissatisfaction which he is
unable or unwilling to appease -by
conciliation. Our only hope of Union
and peace, as also of a return to the
normal sway of the laws within the
Loyal States, is therefore - reposed in
a change of men in the administra
tion of the Government, tote follow
ed by a . change of policy in the man•
agement of our affairs, and • so think
ing, we shall not hesitate to give our
cordial support to the nomination of
General McClellan.
We need not say that we shall.in
the future, as in the past, observe to
, wards Those who differ" in opinion
the same- deference and candor we
seek habitually to practice towards
our - political epponents, but, having
come to this determination under the
strongest' convictions of public duty,
wo would beseech all our fellew citi
zens, withont`distinction,otriaoY, to
approach the consideration of the
question now presented for their de
chiller) under a deeP and abiding sense
~of what is due to themselves, to their
country, and to their God, in.-this day
of national tribulation and peril.—
