Gen. litoClellan's Letter
of Acceptance.
ORANGE, New Jersey, t
September 8, 1864. 4
Gi*rruii= : I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter in
forming me of my nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, recent
ly assembled at Chicago, as their ,oand
date for President of the United States.
It is unnecessary for me to say tolou
that this nomination comes to me nu
sought.
I am happy to know that when ttio
nomination 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 pea& has 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 ear
ly youth.
These feelings have thus far guided the
course of my life, and must continue to
do so to its end.
The existence of more than one goys
eminent over the region which once
owned our flag is incompatible with the
peace, the power, and the happiness of the
people.
The preservation of our Union was the
sole avowed object for Which the war was
commenced. It should have been con
ducted for that object only, and in accor
dance with those principles which I took
occasion to declare when in active service.
Thus conducted, the work of reconcili
ation would have been .easy, and we
might have reaped the benefits of our ma
ny victories on land and sea.
The Union was originally formed by
the exercise of a spirit of conciliation and
compromise. To restore and preserve it,
the same spirit must prevail in our coun
cils, and in the hearts/of the people.
The re-establishment of the Union in
all its integrity is, and must continue to
he, the indispensable condition in any set
tlement. So soon as it is clear, or even
probable, that our present adversaries are
ready for peace, upon the basis of the Un
ion, we should exhaust all the resources
of statesmanship practiced by civilized na
tions, and taught by the traditions of the
American people, consistent with the hon
or and interests of the country, to secure
such peace, re-establish the Union, and
guarantee for the future the constitution.
al right of every state. The Union is the
one condition of peace—we ask no more.
Let me add what I doubt not *as al
though unexpressed, the sentiment of
convention, as it is of the people they
represent, that when any one state is wil
ling to return to the Union, it should be
received at once, with a full guarantee of
all its constitutional rights.
It' a frank, earnest, and persistent effort
to obtain these objects should fail,,the re
sponsibility for ulterior consequences will
fall upon those who remain in arms a
gainst the Union. But the Union must
bepreserved at all hazards.
I could not look in the face my gallant
comrades of the army and navy, who
have survived so many battles, and tell
them that their labors and the sacrifice of
so many of our slain and wounded breth
ren had been in vain ; that we had aban
doned that Union for which we have so
often periled our lives.
A vast majority of our people, whether
in the army and navy or at home, would,
as I would, hail with unbounded joy the
permanent restoration of peace, on the ba
sis of the Union under the COnstitntion,
without the effusion of another Idnop of
blood. But no peace can be 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 Consti
tution of the United States and the laws
framed in accordance therewith, the rule
of my duty, and the limitations of execu
tive power; endeavor to restore economy
in public expenditure, re-establish the su
premacy of law, and, by the operation of
a more vigorous nationality, resume our
commanding position among the. nations
of the earth...
The condition.of
,our finances, ,the der
predation of the. paper money, and the
burdens thereby imposed on labor and
capital, show the necessity of a return, to
a sound financial system ; while the rights
of citizens and the rights of stares, and
the binding authority of law over Presi-
dent, army, and people; are subjects of
not less vital importance in war than in
peace.
Believing that the views here expressed
are those of the convention and the peo.
pie you . represent, I accept the nomina
tion.
I realize the weight of the responsibili
ty to be borne should the ratify
your •choice.
Conscious of my own weakness, I, can
only seek fervently the guidance of the
Ruler of the universe, and, relying . on his
sill powerful aid, do my best to restore
Union and peace to a suffering people,
and to gstablish and guard ,their liberties
and rights.
I am, gentlemen very, respectfully,
Your obe dient servant,

The Platform and Zeolellan's Letter.
The radicals, of both classes, are asser
ting that there is a variation in principle
;, { between the Chicago platform and Gorr.
letter of acceptance. Noth
ing can be further from the truth. They
are in perfect concord of sentiment. The
first resolution says:
Resolved, That in the future, as in the
past, we will adhere with unswerving
fidelity to the under the Constitu
tion, as the ONLY solid foundation of our
strength, security and happiness as a peo
ple, and as the framework of the Govern
ment, equally - conducive to the welfare
and prosperity of all the States, both
Northern and, Sanborn.
That is emptiatio for Thaw.; as the ONLY
end gf our tronbles. The second resolve
favors efforts for
"peaceable means to the end that at the
earliest PRAcricAnts moment, peace may
be restored ON THE BASIS OF TILE FEDERAL
UNION OF TUE STATES."
UNION ONLY is here again declared the
basis, for patce, when puecncenut—but
no peace without Union. The whole plat
form looks to Union brat and peace next.
McCurir-oes letter but echoes the true
spirit and meaning of the platform when
it declares that Union is the only basis of
peace. Read it in another column.
The MontroSe Republican grossly belies
the record when it says " the convention
declares that it is for peace on any terms."
It.declares Union as the ONLY basis of
peace,
The issue is, this:
McCLELLA—sr, the Union and peace, with
out reference to abolition. Or,
Lincoln add, war for abolition, without
referent° tb the Union.
The *lotion Post for Bleol
Not long since the Montrose Republi
can held tip to us the Boston Post as a
pattern of "loyalty." Now how does the
Republican like this from the Post:
" We raise the banner of McClellan and
Pendleton. and it is that of the Union, the
Constitution and the laws. It is that of
peace on the basis of an undivided coubtry.
There never was a more significant expres
sion in advanee, that the PEOPLE IR
RESPECTIVE OF PARTY, desire such
a banner. By this great sign they will
unite and conquer. And the end will be
a sweep into Oblivion of the hord of false
theories that. have poisoned tht.. public
mind; a return to the ,conservative prin
ciples and objects of the Union and a res
toration of the land to the priceless bless
ings of peace and prosperity.
The nomination of General McClellan
is but a ratification of the general will."
Awns unanimous re-nomination of
Hon. Charles Denison, for Congress, by
this district, was a spontaneous tribute of
the people to - a faithful Representative,
Who merited this token of esteem all the
more from the fact that he didnOt.seek
the honor, but quietly permitted the two
counties to make their own selection.
Some of the abolitionists are opposed to
him, ache labored in Congress to raise
the soldiers' pay ; but all their opposition
will be vain. He beat Grow by over I,l'oo

toured as we have been to large meetings
and almost hopeless as many
of our people have been, it was not tho't
that we could gather more than is Teepee.
table crowd. But everybody was aston
ished at the Immensentinndance; it sent
a thrill of joy through the hearts of the
friends of trnim-Ptens and Liberty; and
stint* the adhennits of shoddy, abolition
and disunion, dumb with astonishment,
mortification, terror and rage.
The morning was fine. At an early
hour the people bigan to come in by twos
and fours, and family !Ads, until toward
noon, enough for a usual sized meeting
for this county were here, and the shod
dies who were watching, felt sure that
there " wasn't going, to be much of a
show." But soon the town was enliven
ed by the stirring music of the Harford
Band, which entered town from the east,
at the head of a procession of teams which
drove around the squares in fine style,
with colors waving and attractive ban
ners. On and on they came until shoddy
began to wonder when they would see
the last of them. Looking to the east
ward from the Court-house, the cry was
"still they come." Seventy-five teams,
about one-third of them drawn by four
horses, and heavily loaded, entered town
in this first delegation. Nearly one thous
and persons were included in this surpris
log concourse. The astonished Lincoln
ites, seeing already two or three times as
many as they believed could be assembled
here, thought that of course this was all
—that the delegations bad all assembled
on that side of town to enter together.—
Just then a line of flags was seen coming
from the north, in which there were about
100 persons in nine loads. Well, quoth
shoddy, " that's the last of the copper
heads."
But an immense concourse from the
south now broke upon view. All were
surprised. The southern and southwest
ern towns came pouring in until the start
led leaguers began to think the day of
judgment was at hand. Over. an hund
red teams—twenty-six of them being
drawn by four and six horses—and bring
ing certainly a thousand persons, were
counted in this unparalleled concourse.
How the light broke upon. the white par
ty, and how darkness settled upon the
black party, can only be known to those
who were here making special observa
tion of the events of the day. "That's
all, of course 1" Just wait a moment.—
Down Turnpike street came another pro.
cession. The Great Bend boys, led by IT
six-horse team, with an immense flag up
on a hickory pole, made their appearance.
Six teams well loaded with over an hund
red MeCceu.sre men, swelled the already
unequalled numbers
" There can't be any more." Perhaps
not. "But where is Friendsville; where
is the west." They answered for them
selves in good time. Forty teams, with
about 500 persons, and a fine display of
flags and banners, assured that Friends.
ville and vicinity were wide awake, and
will give a good account of themselves.—
That quarter has filled its quota, and will
fill it again in October and November. It
was the largest single delegation from
any one neighborhood.
During all this time the people were
coming in promiscuously in carriages,
buggies, on horseback and on foot, while
many 1;0 to leave their teams in the
roads and fields outside, =until our quiet
little borough was filled as never before
by men—voters, with a light sprinkling
of ladies and boys.
The McCi.m.t.asi men- .Democrats and
Republicans—were jubilant, and cheer af
ter Cheer rang over the bills,, carrying dis
may to the office-holders and titne-serv
ere of the league ; while many of the Lin
colnites were so much astounded as tb
make them rather good-natured. They
couldn't feel cross in the midst of sack
joyous demonstrations..
Although certain merchants had refused
to sell flags during the week, the display
of Union colors, and banners with appro-
priate mottoes was unparalleled. We have
not space to give even a meagre de
scription of them. Those who want to
get a full idea of McCLELLAN meetings
must attend them.
, As soon after noon as the streets were
cleared of teams, Ace., the meeting was
organized with4flicers, as follows:
President Wm. C. Ward, of New Mil
ford.
Vice Presidents : R. T. Stephens, of
Great Bend ; Samuel Taylor of Dimock ;
Wm. Buffum, of Friendsville; S. W.
Tewksbury, of Lathrop . ; John Blanding,
of. Harfoid ; J. L. Merriman, of Franklin.
Secretary : A. J. Gerritson, of Mont
rose.
Although one of the lest ;4041en was
kept at home by an injury, and another
detained by au important legal case, we
were well supplied with speakers; but
our parr being mostly in typo prevents
As giving any record of the, speeches.—
All were attentively listened toinufgreet
' ed with rounds of applinee'from the lar
gest-nue:Alsip - or voters ever known to
ihis'enunty.
Denisen;onr present and
next member of Congress, was first in
tipdtiold, and' made a candid, forcible,
and' eetive speeds, giving some
lion to the doings or misdoiugs of last
session of Congress.
Hon. Robert Little, of Wyoming,
next made 11,,,,x eech of great power and
eloquence, 'dissecting and exposing many
false allegations of the shoddy party, and
vindicating the Union principles of the De
mocracy.
J. B. McCollum, Esq. made a brief but
eloquent and convincing address. He laid
bare some of the iniquitous mi&represen
tations of the shoddy, patty, andquoted•
from tbe record the endorsements of M.
eiscumes military ability, 6delity, and
successes, as declared by a Republican
Congress, Liircoln, and General Haleck.
Hon. Steuben Jenkins, of Luzerne,.was
introduced, and made d brief, stirring and
effective speech.
R. B. Little, Esq.: gave the shoddy dy
nasty a number of telling thrusts in• the
course of a closing appeal to the people.
It was now almokit, six o'clock ; yet the
crowd remained, eager to listen to more
speaking, but time compelled n reluctant
adjournment, which was made with cheers
for McClellan and the Union.
A largo portion of those present could
not get near enough to bear the speakers;
and aside stand was arranged, where E.
E. Guild, our candidate for Assembly,and
Col. 0. Bailey, veteran soldier under Mc-
Clellan, made able and stirring speeches.
The proceedings were enlivened %Imo%
mit by the excellent music of the Burford
Band.
At length the people dispersed in good
order, proud of the day's work ; and well
may they be proud of a, for as a represen
tation of the strength of a candidate it is
without a parallel in the history of the
county, and cannot be equalled, unless
another McCi.RitAlv meeting -is held.—
The sober, attentive . and orderly conduct
of the immense crowd was remarked by
many, and our party can point to it with
pride.
Various estimates of numbers have
been made ; but may be inaccurate un
less based upon careful estimates. It is
usual for partizans to overstate such mat
ters ; but we pr6fer a fair statement of
what we noted down from count of teams,
together with an estimate of those not
connected with the delegations. We put
the number at over 3,000. -
Sewing machines.
We are often surprised to find so few
Sewing Machines in use, in our section of
country. In the large cities, every family
has its Sewing Machine, and they would
not be without one for ten times its cost.
It is certainly the most useful and econ
omical invention of the age, and we advise
oar readers to hesitrito no longer, but see
to getting one of these labor and life sav
ing Machines. There are a great many
kinds of Sewing Machines, and we have
taken some pains to examine into their
respective merits, and we have come to
the conclusion that the IVheeler & Wil
son, Highest Premium Sewing Machine,
is decidedly the best.
These unequalled Machines are adapted
to every variety of sewing for family wear,
from the lightest niuslins to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upon
silk, linen, woollen, and cotton goods, with
silk, cotton, or linen thread. They will
seam, quilt, gather, hem, fell, cord, braid,
bind, and perform every kind of sewing,
making a beautiful and perfect stitch, alike
on both sides of the article sewed. The
sewing will never unravel or wash out.
The Wheeler it Wilson Sewing Mach
ines are so simple that a;child can work
them with ease. Printed instructions are
sent with every Machine, so that any one
can operate them without any trouble or
difficulty. Every Machingis warranted,
and the money returned it not entirely
satisfactory.
Over Fifty Thousand of the celebrated
Wheeler & - Wilson Sowing Machines ate
sold every year, and yet the demand is so
great that they can hardly ' , be supplied as
fast as ordered. Machines are carefully
packed andoent in good order to any por.
tion of the country.
We hope our readers will write at 000 e
to the Wheeler. & Wilson Agency, No.
704 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and
get one of their Almanacs for 1865, and
specimens of work done by the Machine,
all of which they will sent by mail, free of
charge, to any address. We should, be
glad to see an Agency for the Wheeler &
Wilson Sewing Machine established in
our locality. We know them to be the
best, most simple and cheapest machine
in use.
