'Oue of McClellan’s Friends on Oui Vic.
■ tories.. ■
One of the strongest friends of Me Clel
lan in New York is C. Godfrey Gun
ther, Mayor of that city. He was the
president-of the McClellau ratification
meeting, on. the 22d nit., and privately and
publicly is eloquent in his admiration of
the hero of the swamps. What such a
man says is important, not only because
he is the intimate friend of a Presidential
candidate, but because New York is the
headquarters of McClellanism, and lie is
the Mayor of that city, the representative
man of his party.
Very recently Sherman aroused the en
thusiasm of the nation by the capture of
Atlanta ; suddenly, and before the echoes;
of the cheers for Sherman’s victory had died
away, Farbagut gloriously added to his
deeds in Mobile, the seizure of Fort Mor
gan. These were victories great enough
to satify the most despondent patriot that
the war was not a failure; yet, as if each
of our generals was in rivalry with the
others, Sheridan sent from the Shenan
doah the tidings of a triumph 'that; has
scarcely been excelled in the war. He not
only defeated the enemy—he routed him.
He attacked an army; he drove before him
u mob; he never paused in his career of
exultant pursuit till the whole Yalley was
at his'mercy and ten thousand men were
blotted from the list of the foes of the
Union. What effect these victories had
upon the nation, we need not pause to say.
Who that cares for his country does not
yet feel thfi joy they awakened, and repose
in the confidence they confirmed. The
stem cannon of the Union, in these im
mortal battles,; sounded proclamation of
despair to its enemies. Then, while ail
patriots rejoiced, Gunther moaned.
The Common Council’bfNew York pro
posed to celebrate these great victories by
-an illumination of the public buildings.
The resolution, passed by both boards,
was submitted to Gunther, who vetoed it
with unusual energy, and accompanied his
disreputable veto with a letter explaining
his reasons for not rejoicing over Union
victories! What can these be ? Gunther
must give them himself, for we cannot
• Gunther objects to rejoicing, because
he cannot find anything to rejoice over.
He “does not see’’ (none are so blind as
those 'who will not see) how people “ can
v be expected to rejoice oyer victories which,
■whatever they may be, surely are not
Union victories.” By an argument which
-reminds us of Mr, Richard Vaux lecturing
■on the subjective and objective to the un
happy: .orphans at Girard College, Gun
• thee attempts to prove that as “it has
been the immemorial custom of man-
hind (!), in all ages and climes (!), to ab
stain from rejoicing over victories gained
in civil wars (!), the only effect of depart
ing from this usage, sanctioned alike by hu
manity and sound policy ( !); will b» to ac
knowledge, by such exhibitions, that; these
are victories over aliens and enemies !”
Gunther's immemorial custom is a new
historical discovery. Any school boy could
..tell the Mayor of Hew York that earnest
men always rejoice over victories, and
there is no child of loyal parents.who does
not know, what Gunther should know,
that precisely because these are victo
ries over enemies, we should rejoice over
•them. What- are the men who declare the
Union divided but our enemies ? Who are
Davis, Lee, Hood, Benjamin, but the
enemies of the Union and those who love
it? What are those men who. have killed
thousands of our sons, brothers, and
fathers, but our enemies ? Gunther will
not acknowledge them as our foes, and he
supports McClellan for the Presidency.
The friend of McClellan would treat as
friends the rebel.enemies of the Republic.
Bythis,friendship George B. McClellan.
may profit if he can.
But though Gunther may regret these'
victories, and vote for McClellan, loyal
men will rejoice, and none more than
those who won them. Tell the soldier, if
you dare, that these were not Union victo
ries ; that the men he drove before him
are not enemies. Mr. Gunther has so de
clared, and signed his name to a letter so
terribly stupid, so very ignorant,
■unpatriotic, that we imagine that the
“rule he laid down for his guidance as
Mayor” was neither found in the English
grammar or the common school history.
Gunther will not rejoice because we have.
' whipped the rebels? Well, we can rejoice
without him. The only point worth noti
cing is this—that he is McClellan’s
warmest friend and one of his chief ad-
visers.
The Congressional Canvass In Mont
gomery and I.ehigli,
George Bullock, the Union candidate
in the Congressional, district composed of
Montgomery ' and Lehigh counties, is
making a splendid canvass. There, are
some curious political obliquities in this
struggle. The nominee of the so-called
Democratic party is a Mr. Boyer, who
■clearly possesses all the qualifications en
titling him to the attentions of the new
Democratic party. He has been a Know-
Mothing of tbe worst stripe, and a member
of nearly every political organization; in
deed, he was even contributing to a Doug
las Democratic paper when the rebellion
broke out. In order to secure bis nomina
tion several influential Democrats had to be
postponed, and some even entirely ignored.
Dr. Acker, the editor of the old Democratic
paper, who was again out for the support
of the party, was thrown overboard. Col.
Owen Jones, who fought with: distin
guished courage in the present war, and a
gentleman of large fortune, having con
sented to be a candidate for tbe nomina
tion, received but two totes! Had Colonel
Jones followed out his original declara
tions .against the Lecompton fraud, at the
opening of the Kansas controversy, and had
he’, when he returned from the war, placed
himself upon the Union platform, where
he was at the beginning of the war,
in his own township, at a public meeting,
Me would not have been subjected to the
Humiliation of being rejected by a Copper-
Head Convention. He would have been
the nominee of the Union party, and re
turned triumphantly to the National Legis
lature. It is one of the'extraordinary
•anomalies of politics that any man who has
acted as Colonel Jones ha§ acted in the
present war should trust, himself to the
•Copperhead party at all. That party has
taken no man who has truly and consistent
ly fought in this battle for freedom, and
put him forward as a candidate for luera
.tiye and distinguished honors. Even Col
McCandless (a colonel who might have
been a brigadier general), of this city has
■been put off with the doubtful and surely
.expensive situation of chairman of a local
party committee. There is no known fight
ing man- running on the Democratic ticket
to-day, in any part of the Union, unless he
is doing so in order to revenge personal
grievances on the Federal Administration.
Had Gwen Jones, with/his large fortune,
•early recorded himself in favor of the right,
be would not, we say . again, have been
-humiliated. He should now remember
■that the only people who refused, kt the
.ballot-box, to give the soldier his right of
, suffrage, were the men who opposed his
nomination to Congress.
George Bullock, the Union candidate,
as doing what every candidate ought to do
in the present struggle. He is devoting
all his means and energies to the support
of the common canse, conscious that as he
labjri he both for himself and for
the. Government. The, district in which
he runs was carried in 1858 by John
Wood against Owen Jones, and this was
consummated by incessant energy and solid
harmony among the friends of the good
cause. The Democratic masses of Mont
gomery, six years ago, condemned Jambs
Buchanan’s infamous Kansas policy, and
the revolt among them was so general that
politicians changed front in a day, and
township, after township threw its vote
against that policy.
Hon. J osepii Bailey is a candidate for
re-election to Congress in the counties of
York," 'Cumherland, and Perry. He is
making a gallant struggle against Adam
J. Glossbrenner, the Buchanan and
Jeremiah S. Black candidate. Here there
is a plain issue.* Mr. Glossbrenner is
a personage of considerable political re
nown, and-deserves high credit for the
boldness with Which he has asserted the
doctrines of the two gentlemen with whom
he has more latterly and immediately been
identified. Mr. Buchanan, while Presi
dent of the United States,, announced an
extraordinary theory in his last annual mes
sage. He asserted that the Government could
not protect itself, so that in this district
the whole issue, the right of secession and
the wrong of coercion, is involved. Mr.
Bailey does not run as a party candidate ;
Mr, Glossbrenner does.; Mr. Bailey is
the representative of the soldiers ,as well
■ as of their friends ; Mr. Glossbrenner of
the sympathizers with secession and of
the Secessionists themselves. When we
reflect that the district in which these two
gentlemen are now running for Congress
has been ravaged by rebel hordes, we
may see that if every soldier who followed
■Early, McCausland, and. Stuart, in
those raids was hailed upon to Vote, he
would vote for Glossbrenner against
Bailey. But we may still feel sure that
an unaccountable number of people would
be ready to vote for the latter. Now the
question is whether the Democratic party,
which assisted James Buchanan in 1858;
is more deserving of the confidence of the
voters of Montgomery county than when
they rejected Buchanan’s policy in their
own defence; whether that which inspired
the Democratic masses in the great' cause;
in the past is not a thousand times
more important in the future. ' y
There is no more interesting contest than
that now going on in the Montgomery and
Lehigh Congressional district, and none
that should tend less to awaken patriotic
solicitude.
A Correction.
Iu the report of the eloquent speech of
Daniel Dougherty, Esq., at Union
League Hall,' published in our columns
yesterday, and copied into other papers,
a, mistake occurs , which we think Mr.
Dougherty undoubtedly would desire to
have corrected. The report; makes Mr.
Dougherty say : “ Temporize with these
traitors, who are bent on destroying the
Government, the last hope of suffering
mortals! Never, never, never! The day
the Democratic party admits these men to
her counsels ’ her dbom; is sealed, and she
deserves to die. Let the Democi'ais" rave,
and rave, and rave, and we will laugh their
threats to scorn; but if they commit one
overt act of treason, hang them from off
the dome of the Capitol, and teach their
followers that the liberties of the nation
are too precious to be destroyed by those
who, rather than fail in their unholy ambi
tion,would deluge their native land with
fraternal blood.” These strongwords will
find an echo in every loyal heart, but the
true. Democrat who uttered them never
said ‘‘let the Democrats rave, and rave
and rave,” but “let the miscrearUi rave.” '
Though some miscreants are Democrats,
all Democrats are hot miscreants---a fact of
which Mr. Dougherty’s own noble pa
triotism is a forcible illustration.
- We hail with mjich satisfaction the re
storation of harmony between the Execu
tive of this State and one or two members
of the Federal Administration. ''Governor
Curtin has been efficient, patriotic, and
unselfish in the performance of his grave
and "exciting duties, and it has" been a
source of great pain to thp friends of The
common cause that anything should have
arisen that should have alienated those who
Have each heavy burdens to carry. We
would not make, this public reference to the
restoration of good feeling between the
State and Federal Governments but to hope
that nothing again may occur to induce to
disturb the peace. Wc understand that it
is Governor Curtin’s intention to make a
personal appeal to the soldiers in the army,
whose earnest friend he is, and their ear
nest friend from the beginning, to cast
their ballots for the only candidate now in
the field.who is uncompromisingly devoted
to the principles for which they arc fighting.
The course of the JST. Y. Herald during
the last few weeks has somewhat mystified
the [mongrel crowd who delight in that
amiable sheet. What with its alternate
abuse of what it terms the Baltimore
Shoddy Convention and the Chicago
Shent-per-shent Convention (though what
it means by those terms an over-ruling
Providence only knows), its. advocacy of
either candidate in obligingly proximate
paragraphs, and its stern denunciation of
the “partisan press,” it has bewildered
finally even those who, have withstood the
mazy influence of its former gyrations.
We, however, perceive its drift clearly* and 1
intend here to expose it. The fact of the
matter is this: The Herald has been con
verted of its Sataniety, and is a prime
backer of Horace Greeley for the Presi
dency. This may seem an astounding
revelation to our readers, but we can as
sure them it is absolutely the fact. We
have it on good authority that the Herald
will in a few days boldly hoist the flag of a
third and independent party for the com
ing campaign., In proof of this we have
■ only to instance the fact that Mr. Bennett ■:
has hot called the editor of the Tribune
“ poor Greeley” for a week past. We
cannot publish all the material in our pos.
session, but all will be clear before the
week is out. It is said, too—but of this we
know nothing—that in the event of the suc
cess of this ticket Bennett is to be minis
ter to Eayti 1 and a valuable officer he
would be in that region.
We see by this that the Herald is not so
bad as It is reputed to be. It is not the
devilish, conscienceless creature of the
worst elements of our society. It is a re
former, and seeks to work, by roundabout
ways simply, success to the principles we
all approve. - ;
The Copperhead press is continually
prating about the proprieties of the can
vass. To some people, who have in mind
the uniform course of many of the Opposi
tion papers, these advices and admonitions
appear ludicrous enough. We will yield
to none in a desire to conduct this great
canvass in a dignified and earnest manner,
and we would fain believe this to be the
wish of pvery journal, whether of our way
of thinking or not; But what shall we say
of this utterance of the Binghamton Daily
Democrat. Speaking of Mr /Uincoln, after
a furious tirade it closes thus: “is such a
President fit to govern? No, not fit to
live !” One is inclined at first to be slight
ly indignant at such expression as this, but
only for a moment. This New “York Pott
of the Binghamton JSatansville Democrat
may go his way, but not unwhipped of the
scorn of honest and decent men.
“It is regarded In military circles as quite pro
bable that General Sherman will be ordered to re
l)c'tt to General Grant at Petersburg, leaving Gen;
Thomas in command at Atlanta. When Grant was
in the Southwest, Sherman and McPherson ware
regarded as the < brains’ of his army. It Is very
certain that Grant’s career since he separated from
Sherman has been a failure. 'By giving him Sher
man ack again, It Is thought probable that ho
may recover, something of his former renown.’’--

llow many votes does the Mcpress expect
to gam for MpCmthLAN by this slander of
Ghaut . Is it because Qbant’s success
has exposed the absurdity of McClellan’s
strategy, and oyer-shadowed all his pre
tences to military ability, that the Copper
head papers systematically disparage him ?
At the best it is' a mean way of helping
McClellan, to pretend that Quant has
Jailed. _
: Another Outrage.
To the Edit or of The Tress: y :> .
Sie : The press, has lately teemed with Instances
of brutal [treatment to colored people by the con
ductors of passenger railroad oars. We have another
instance to record, and we hope you will Insert It"
In your valuable paper, as It shows the depth of
malignity and cool brutality some of the conductors
possess.
On Thursday evening a very respectably dressed
colored woman stepped on the front platform of a.
caron Pine street, near Eighth, and was abruptly
ordered off by the “gentlemanly” conductor, who
swore that “niggers should not ride on any part ot
his car.” She remonstrated with him, when ,he
seized her by the arm, and dragged her-from'the
car, throwing her, with a basket she had, Into the
.gutter. In his efforts to force her from the car her,
clothes were torn, and her arm very badly lacerated.
How long will EttOh barbarities be tolerated in this
professedly enlightened c6bimunlty 1
In this case the woman injured will have
no one but herself to blame if legal redress
is not obtained. The conductor must cer
tainly be known, and it is hardly possible
that witnesses cannot be obtained. It Will
surprise us if so brutal an action should not
result in the arrest and punishment of the
brute.

When the soldiers who have bccirwound
ed or have sickened and lost; their health
in theservice;* and: those who are not
wounded, but are : still (fighting for the old
flag,' are in favor of Abraham Lincoln
and not for McCleli,an, why should we

the army is the candidate of the Union
party ? ■■ ■
. The Express says that young Mr. Mc-
Clellan “ was baptized in blood and fire”
in Mexico. If this terrible sanctifying was
•actually perfected,: it seems lamentable to
reflect that we have no evidence of the re
generation of the young disciple. Of what
use are these forms and ordinances, of what
value are the oaths and prayers of the neo
phyte, if he' afterward prove that his new
heart is little better than his , old one ?
With all sympathy for Mr. McClellan’s
friends, we would suggest, as a true state
ment of the case, that if he were baptized
in blood and fire in Mexico, the ceremonies
were re-performed in milk and water in
Yirginia.
Yesterday afternoon, when the news
was published of the repulse of a rebel at
tack on our entrenchments on the Jeru
salem road by our gallant colored soldiers,
a well-known supporter of General Mc-
Clellan exclaimed : “ Repulsed by nig
gers ! Well, was' it by white niggers or
black niggers !” Soldiers of Grant’s army,
what do you think of this ?
GrAnt’s peace means 'union and sta
bility. McClellan’s peace means dis
union and anarchy. -

THE AKMY BEFORE PETERSBURG.
THE REBEL DISBKRTRRSAND THE COLORED TROOPS
—DEATH OF LIEUTENANT AMES,
Headquarters Army op thr Potomac, Sept.
28.— Five deserters came In last night, in front of
Colonel Russell’s brigade of the Bth Corps, giving:
themselves np to the colored pickets on the line.
These men had been conscripted, and had served out
their time, but could not obtain their discharges.
As soon as they found that they would not be
forced into our ranks they made up their minds to
desert, expressing their intention to their comrades.
This they accomplished; and are now on their way
North under the terms oi Gen. Grant’s proclama
tion.
The rebels seem to have got over their noted 'an
tipathy to the colored soldiers. Some time ago they
made It a rule to keep up a continual fire wherever
these soldiers made thefr.appearanoe ; hut now they
remain as quiet on that part of the line occupied by
the colored troops as at any other point. '
When deserters: come' In, many of them being
Virginians, they are always willing to accept: food
from whatever, source if may come, .and. .they can
often be seen sitting on the ground eating with .the
negroes, and acting towards them as though theik,
skins were as white as their own, :
Lieut. Ames, of Ames’ Battery, was killed on
Monday by a rebel sharpshooter. The ball entered
his side, and he died almost Instantly.
A great deal of firing has been Indulged in by
both Sides to-day along, the entire centre and right.
Quite a lively , skirmish occurred at dark last
evening while the pickets were being relieved on
the centre of the line. .
■REBEL ATTACK HEAR THE JERUSALEM ROAD RB
* PULSED.
Washington, Sept, SO.— The news brought to
day by.passengers from City Point, who left there
yesterday, has been anticipated by the official bul
letin.. ..
They mention that on Wednesday night the rebels
made an attack on our advanoed intrenohments In
front of Fort Sedgwick, near the Jerusalem road,
hut were easily repulsed. '
"GRANT’S WHOLE ARMY JN MOTION. :
Washington, Sept. 30.— Passengers by the boat
from the front this morning state that'G-rant’s
whole army Is in motion*. He has been in readiness
for some time, and jonly awaited the . development
of Sheridan’s operations to proceed. Thanks to
rebel enlightenment, : he was enabled to seize the
favorable opportunity; and is now executing his
plans. . f . .
THE MOVEMENT OR ORD’S AND BTRNEY’S CORPS—
THE REBEL ATTACK ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT RE
PULSED BY COLORED TROOPS—HEAVY FIRING ON
THURSDAY.
Washington, Sept. 30.—Early on Wednesday
night General Ord’s corps, the 10th, began to move
from their old position to Jones’ Neck, on the
Jameß, where a pontoon bridge had been thrown
across the river, and immediately began to cross.
By twelve o’clock the advance guard succeeded in
effecting the’erossing in safety and before daylight
the whUBo corps got over. An advanoe was immedi
ately ordered, and the entrenchments on Chapin’s
Farm were carried with but little show of resistance
on the part of the rebels.
There appealed to be but row rebel troops in the
entrenchments, and it is, thought they had boen
previously withdrawn either to be sent up the val
ley to check Sheridan, or to the Weldon Railroad;
fearing a blow from Grant in that direction. We,
however, captured between three and four hun
dred prisoners and fifteen pieces of artillery, as al
ready stated.
The 18th Corps, under General Blrney, advanced
from Deep Bottom about the same time that
.General Ord did. General Birnoy moved up to the
New Market road, and carried the entrenchments
with ease, the rebels showing but Tittle disposition
to contest the ground. They appeared to be com
pletely surprised by the appearance of our troops in
that direction. ,
Of the subsequent movements of our forces
nothing was known at City Point when the express
left there, and there was nothing to Indicate that
the advance of Ordor Bimey had been Checked. It
is confidently believed at'City Point that the rebels
have withdrawn largo numbers of troops from the
defences of Richmond, and sent them up the Valley
to aid Early. This being the case, Ord and Blrney
can make considerable progress before the rebels
ban concentrate their forces; 1
On Wednesday night:the rebelsmadeafurlpus at
: tack on our advanced earthworks in front of Fort
Sedgwick, on the Jerusalem plankroad. These en
trenchments wore held by a portion of the 2d bri
gade, 3d division, Otli Corps. The rebels were hand
somely repulsed with considerable loss." These are
the works which were captured from the rebels seve
ral weeks ago by our troops, and this is the second
unsuccessful attempt the Johnnies have made to
take them, The troops attacked were commanded
by Colonel Russell, of the 28th United States
Colored Troops. Fort Sedgwick opened fire on the
rebels, and accelerated their movements on their
retreat. Russell had-his men In line of battle In
two minutes after the attack.
’ -T; T; ' LATER. ,
A quartermaster just arrived from the front In
forms me that the firing was particularly severe on
Thursday, and when he left there yesterday there
was still heavy cannonading going on. _.

NEW TORE COT.
[Special Correspondence of The Press. J
New York, Sept. 30,1881.
THE MAYOR AGAIN.
Mr, C. Godfrey Gunther, our worthy Mayor, has
taken It Into his head to veto the resolution of the
Common Council calling for an illumination la
honor of our victories. In support of this singular
transaction he alleges sundry reasons, many of
which would bo. docisive if they were true. The
Ideas of the Copperheads are somewhat ludicrous.
The World seems to think that the Government has
no higher aim than-snaring “good Democrats,”/
and, perhaps, if opportunity offered, shooting Mar
bles.; The Mayor’s "Ideas are painfully Dutch in
their character, and just about as wise. He thinks
that weio he to issue his proclamation all who did
not illuminate would be considered disloyal. He
thinks that the war Is not for the Union; that the
authorities claim , our victories as results of the
emancipation proclamation. The;’Administration
papers claiifi that the victories will be continuous,;
therefore, argues the Mayor with a logic acquired "
In the fur business, there would Save to be contiqu-,
bus iliuminaiiona. Altogether, the Mayor has dis
tinguished himself. He hates all that the loyalists
like, and writes long answers to everything. There
will, doubtless, be an illumination, without regard
to his veto.
These are the resolutions to which this leading
McClellanite objects, and it may be well for people
to ponder upon the spirit which has suggested the
veto: ’ ■ ; v '
, Resolved, That a special committee of five mem
bers from each Board of the Common Council be
appointed, for the purpose of makihs the necessary
arrangements to cause the various public build tegs
to be iilumlnated.in honor of the recent victories on
land and sea, and that his. Honor the Mayor be re
quested by proclamation to invite the citizens ge
nerally to join in the illumination forthwith'.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Common Council
of the city of New York, are due and are hereby
tendered to the gallant soldiers and sailors through
whose heroic efforts the Union arms have been tri
umphant in so many well-fought fields. '
, THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESAN CONVENTION
organized on Wednesday afternoon, Bishop Potter
presiding. The regularbusiness will be taken up
to-day.. Yesterday the question of a division of the
diocese was aruged. The Bishop took strong grounds
against the Idea, and declared that he should with
hold his approval therefrom. If the diocese were
divided, he should keep the funds in his part, or as
otherwise worded, “ should never consent to a di
vision of the Episcopal funds.” : ■
MAYOR GUNTHER’S LETTER,
The following Is Mayor Gunther’s letter to the
Common Council yesterday:
“Mayor’s Office,
“ New York, Sept; 29,1864."
“To the Honorable the Common Council: ' ■■ c , ,
. “ Gentlemen : Your resolution of the 26th. Inst.,
appointing a ‘committee of five from each Board
for the purpose of making the necessary arrange
ments to cause the various public buildings to -be
illuminated in honor of the recent victories on land
and sea,’ is returned, unapproved. .
“I might acquiesce In your response to an appeal
of your,fellow-citizens, who might desire togive an
expression of their feelings respecting these vic
tories, but I must: decline to comply with your re
quest to issue a proclamation to the citizens gene
rally,, to join\in such an Illumination, for various
reasons, which I will briefly state.
“Ist. If I should issue such a proclamation, there
are many citizens who would be denounced as dis
loyal, if, through want of opportunity, of Inclina
tion, or of means, they failed to comply with the
recommendation.
“2d, By those in authority they are not claimed
as Union yietorles, but as the result of the emanci
pation proclamation and latest war measures of
President Lincoln, as announced In his ‘TO whom
it may concern’ manifesto.
. ■ “ 3d. It is asserted that the new policy of the Ad
ministration will give us a succession of victories.
If this Is the ease, y ourhonorablebody will be called
upon to Illuminate every fortnight, and if the par
pers in the employ of the Administration, which
daily parade ‘the defeat of the rebels,’ are to be
believed, threo times a week. .
“I yield to do man in my attachment to ‘the
Union as it was and the Constitution as it is,’but
as the President demands, of the Southern people
to abandon the rights which the Constitution con
fers,„l do not see how those who have always held
that the Federal Government has nothing to do
with the domestic institutions of the States can be
expected to rejoice over victories which, whatever
they may be, surely are net Union victories.
. “If these victories.were to unite the States, and
were a sure harbinger of peace, I would be pleased
1f I could Issue such a proclamation as would in
duce the poorest citizen to part with his last mite
for the purchase"of a single tallow candle to cele
brate the event. '
“ 4th. It has been the Immemorial custom of man
kind, In all ages and climes, to abstain, from re
joicing over victories gained In civil wars, and such
has been tire practice thus far during the present
strife, which has distracted bur once happy Union.
The only effect of departing from this usage, sanc
tioned alike by humanity and sound policy, will be
to acknowledge, by such exhibitions, that there are
victories over aliens and enemies, and that there is
no hope of securing peace on the basis of the Fede
ral Union. This hope, In common with a large por
tion of our fellow-citizens, I am not prepared to
abandon.
“You are aware that here is the essential differ
ence between the two parties now contending for
political mastery in the Northern States. One of
these declares that no terms can be offered 1 except
such as may be based upon an unconditional sur
renderor the rights of the States, and the other
maintains that ‘ peace may berestored on the basis
of the Federal Union.’ ' -
“ Taking into consideration that a canvass la now
in progress of the most exciting character, I am
forced to regard the proposed demonstration as one
of a political nature, and, according to the rule
which I laid down for my guidance on entering
upon the duties of mayor, I cannot give it my offi
cial endorsement.
' “ <l. Godfrey Gunther, Mayor.”

A SPIRITED FNIOJf MEETING.'
RATIONAL HALh CROWDED,
dedication of the republican in-
VINCIBLES’ HEADQUARTERS.
Last evening National Hall, Market street, be.
■ low Thirteenth, was formally dedicated to the ser
vice of the Republican Invincibles and the good
cause of the Union. The hall is, we believe, the
largest In the city, seating four thousand two hun
dred persons, or one thousand jpore than the Aca
demy of Music. It Is well lighted and ventilated,
well adapted for the purposes of oratory, and very
tastily decorated with American flags, and oyer the
long row of gas brackets surrounding the room gui
dons, inscribed with the names of our most promi
nent and promising generals, are prettily arranged.
In front of the building Is a large illuminated trans
parency, bearing on the front the inscription, “ Re
publican Invincibles,” and on either side “Lincoln
and Johnson.” An excellent hand was in attend
ance, and refreshed the audience, which had assem-’
bled by seven-and-a-balf o’clock, with a variety of
patriotic and; sentimental airs, not forgetting 5
“ Kingdom Coming ” and “ Rally Round the Flag.”
At the hour appointed for the commencement of
the proceedings, Mr. Geo. Inman Riohe,-presi
dent of the Invincibles, arose and stated that the’
Club had been reorganized for this campaign, and had
assembled on the present occasion to dedicate this
hall. We are animated by the sentiment enunciated
by Webster In the words, “ Liberty and'Union now
and forever, one and inseparable.” We realize the
fact that there can be no Union without liberty
and no liberty without Union. These are Aim
we are fighting for, and with this view our
Club has been organized. ' ur
Ex-Governor Pollock was then introduced, and
'said: " . -
My FKr.T.ow-coi!XTRTMEN : We are here to de

Who nominated Little Mac 3” Not Clement L.
Valisndigham, a traitor yet unhung and undamued
[applause], but August Belmont, the agent of a
foreign banking houso avowedly hostile to the coun
try. We all know McClellan has been, for a num
ber of years, connected with railroads, and afccus
tomed to, look after the safety of others. It Is
usual- to 'see on ail cars the inscription, “Pas
sengers forbidden to stand upon the platform.”
True to his Instincts, McClellan is afraid to
stand upon the platform. [Laughter.] Notlong
ago * follower of McClellan said: “If Lincoln Is
re-elected we will maroh to Washington, with Gen.
McClellan at our head, and re-establish the Go
vernment on the principles of our fathers.” [Cries
of“Never!”] Say what you trill, gentlemen, the
people will in November triumphantly re-elect that
noble man. [Applause.] ' lie will be inaugurated
on the 4th ofMarch, 1866, and woe be to the man,
rebel, Copperhead, or devil, that attempts to pso
: vent it. [Applause.] The election of Lincoln and
Johnson is inevitable. Men of America, are you
ready for this straggle 3 It may cost your lire, and
the life of millions more. Shall the war cease in
gloriously 3 Let your response be an emphatic
“No!” as von value the service of those patriots
who sleep In glory and,the grave. [Applause ]
The next speaker was David Paul Brown, Esq.,
who said:
My fellow-countrymen : I am hare once more
among yon, and I am rejoiced to find In this •assem
bly that Spirit which is essential to the preservation
of the Union In the time of peril. And I am also'
rejoiced to find that the women have lent their smiles
to the patriotism of the country. ' Fouryears ago to
day I had the honor to address you upon the subject
of electing a President for the country. The ques
tion to-day is, whether we are to have a country to
require a President. Ido not come .here to speak
for you, but of yon and to yon. And I want to
know whether you are- ready to stand by
your flag or not. [Applause.] Let me see
whether you have fire in your eyes and
warnth in your hearts-when you approach this
struggle, [applause.] Whom do you represent ?
Is the war a. pageant 1 No! It’s a question Involving
the fate of a nation. You represent not only your
wives and children, but you represent all-time to
come. Are you ready to meet the issue ? Have you
'oil In your lampsl [Applause.] Now Is the accept
ed time. Now is the day of salvation. [Applause.]
If von have no internal stimulus, let the smiles of ;
the patriotic women about you stimulate yon into, |
some honorable action. Yon, the Inviueibles, not
read y! Then let the Irresistibles, the ladles, take
charge of yon. [Applause.] Don’t wait-for Novem
ber. The. election to control the destinies of this
country takes place in little more' than a week.
Are yon ready, then ? [A voice—“ Wo are.”] I
thank yon for even one voice, for I know it speaks
the sentiments of all of you. If you are beaten in
October you will be beaten in November, Stand up
m SC SSCtSB tfe® interests of your country,
and, my word for it, you'will render this election
sure.: I know I,have taken a bold position here,
but boldness becomes a man at such a time:-Unlike
other gentlemen, lam not unaccustomed to public
speaking; I am not taken by surprise; No man
has a right to he taken by surprise but General
McClellan. [Langhter ] But 11 I was paralyzed
and bedfast I could.speak In such. a cause as this.
The dumb themselves might; speak in such a
cause; The dead might speak, - Your 1 brave fa
thers, who bought their liberties with steel, speak
to you now, appealing to yon to stand by the
■flag. Will, you do it? [Cries of « Yes.”] Your wives
and children appeal to you; posterity appeals to
you j unborn ages Appeal to yoa, to establish the
example of the .permanency of our Republic. Let
this scheme of government fail, and what-: can suc
ceed If you don’t stand by yonr institutions I tell
you plainly you are not true men. [Applause.] I
occupy a very pleasant-, position. -1 was born a
Federalist, I bave lived a Federalist, and I will die
a Federalist. [Applause.] ,It Is impossible for a
Federalist to be a traitor to the Government. lam
not here to' argue the doctrines of State rights or
secession. Think of thirty-five States all sove
reign and independent! Why can’t they de
clare war? Why can’t they coin money if
if they are sovereigh? One other point: I re
fer to-the African. Abraham Lincoln has not
abolished slavery. I wish to heaven'ho had. [Ap
plause.] I have been an Abolitionist since my
birth as well as a Federalist. < What has President
Lincoln done? ;lie has-pronounced them contra
band of war because their former owners have de
clared them chattels. He recommended Congress .
to carry out this policy; and many of the States,
seeing its wisdom, have declared their slaves free.
He has not touched slavery in States not in rebel
lion, He has, it-is true, created a moral sense 1-
against It, hut that is all. The name of Abraham
Lincoln will go downwith tbat of Washington—
will go down to the last period of recorded time.
The decrees of the Almighty may slumber, but
-never dief; And there is this decree—that man was
horn to be free. [Applause.]
The speaker closed by pointing to the folly of the
Sonth in attempting to overthrow a Government
the control of which was always in its own hands,
and by urging that Abraham Lincoln was the only
man fit to be entrusted with its control for the next
foturyears.
The next speaker was William L. Dennis, Esq.
His remarks were brief, but well-chosen, and point,
ed. We are engaged, he said, in a contest as im
portant as that which engages the attention- of the
Army of the Potomac. We have against us Jeff
Davis, hi 3 army, and his Cabinet. We have against
us, also, Jeff Davis’ Northern army. It IS estimated
that there are 250,000 Southerners in our hospitals,
camps, and public meetings. We have-also against
us the enemies of free government in Europe; and
against all these we must do battle. The speaker *
closed by urging his auditors to battle bravely In
the sacred cause of the Union, and success would
crown their efforts.
The meeting adjourned about ten ’o’clock, with
three cheers for Lincoln, Johnson, and victory.
HALL OF THE: DNION LEAGUE.
Another largo meeting of citizens was held last
evening at the Hall of the Union Leagues ' Mr.
Edward Shippen was called to the chair. ' The
meeting was addressed by Hon. James M. Seovel,
of New Jersey. ; He said when he was asked for his
opinion of McClellan, he replied of hi m as Kearney
had done, that he was either a- coward or a traitor.
The reason we have more respect for the traitor In
the South than for the Copperheads of the North,
Is ‘ that we know that they are our open enemies.
/We don’t know whether McClellan Is a friend or an
-enemy. We do know that at a-great battle he was
on a guhhoat smoking his cigar.
Mr. Seovel then eomngred letters of McClellatt
during the war with firs letter of acceptance, and
showed that he had changed his base. Geo. B. Mc-
Clellan, from the timoihe first took command of the
army, never had an hdnast, earnest desire te prose
cute the war at the sacrifice of his own-personal
comfort. -The men who visited McClellan were
such men as Horatio Seymonr, Fernando Wood, and
Vallandigham, some of whom had said that they
wanted a young, gallant Napoleon to drive the Abo
lition: herd out of Washington. The Woodward
letter is enough to condemn him in the eyes of every
bODest patriot. Yon: can’t get a Union idea into
Woodward’s head; and that’s tho man whom Mc-
Clellan tells you, in; his; opinion, it would be to
the interests of the country and .of the people of
Pennsylvania to elect as Governor. That letter is
enough to ooridemn him In the eyes of all patriots.
He then referred to the fact that McClellan's nomi
nation was, on motion of Vallandigham, made
unanimous. He said the Democratic party talked
largely about the Constitution, when one-half of
them had never read it, and the other half couldn’t
read. It. McClellan had one eye on the Presi
dency -and the: other eye on the Constitution,
and he went on to fight the rebellion in the
dark. That’s not the way- we want the war
carried on. The Northern Copperheads are the
kind of men who don’t represent a loyal descendant
of America. It is. time we were in earnest in this
matter. V.’o have lost enough of treasure and
blood already in whipping the devil round, the
stump. The issue is made up, and we want to Send
Sn echo back to Grant knocking at the doors of
Richmond, that the hearts of the people of the
North are with him. We will bear the flag to the
foot of the sccnmed territory, as It was Intended to
wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the
brave. When we compromised with slavery, we took
the serpent into the bosom, and for seventy years it
hasltved,there;butitcanstay there no longer. It was
late in the day for the Democratic party to say that
they had any love and;Sß>mpathy for-the soldiers.
They have already told them that they shouldn’t
vote.; Every lover of liberty in England waits
anionsly.to hear that Abraham'liiceoln is re-elected
President. This can) only be done by your votes.
When this contest ends, It will end when every man
in this country shall do his duty. I have always
been for the people, and against the politicians;
ana for my country, and against Jeff. Davis: that’s
my platform ; and we intend to put down Jeff.
Davis, and every one who sympathizes with him in
the North. : We wiU end the war by electing Lin
coln and Johnson; and by a peace won over a bat
tle-field.
Rev. Mr. Dennison,Tate chaplain in the United
/States Army,-.was then-introduced. -He was an
Eastern-man, He had resigned his commission in
the army for the purpose of coming home to fight
the Copperheads. He would use all his- energies to
destroy that body that was doing everything'to de
stroy the unity and liberty of the country. Jf
it were right for Bishop Polk to carry the
prayer-book in one hand and the sword in the
other, he felt that he could taka his musket
in one hand and his Bible and Constitution in
the other, and say, comß boys, and if you
can’t find any better leader than me, follow me. He
had been opposed to slavery from his youth, and he
had believea that- the most severe blows which that
institution conld receive would be from the Demo
cratic masses. For that reason he had always been
a Democrat, and was always earnest and true in
speaking and working for the Democratic party,
and it was not until he found that James Buchanan
had hot one particle of moral backbone that he re
jected him and his followers, although he still
claimed to be a Democrat. He would not allow
those men who had Hardly been baptized in the,
chuieh to read him Democratic faith. He main
tained that wo should/ not give te a party what be
longed to the country and mankind. He then went
on to review the causes of the war, the reasons for
prosecuting it, and expressed his belief that God in
his mercy was. bringing the nation through this
struggle to make it the grandest and best nation of
the world. ■' \
Captain Colhoun, who was to have addreEaed the
meeting, was laboring under indisposition, and was
unable to do so. Mr. Joseph SMppen then ad
dressed tie meeting, after which it adjourned.
ADDRESS OF GEORGE TXCKNOB CURTIS, OF
NEW YORK.
Pursuant to announcement, a meeting of citizens
of Philadelphia was convened . last evening at
Musical Fund Hall, the occasion being an address
by George Ticknor Curtis, of New York, on tie
Issues involved in tie coming Presidential election.
Upon being introduced tie speaker commenced his
remarks by a reference to tie private biaracter and
public ser vices of tie candidate of tie Democratic
party for the Presidency,; General McClellan. - It
was now eighteen years since he first met that dis
tinguisied man, tiougi ie had not enjoyed his par
ticular friendship until tie winter of 1862. His
qualities as a man and a statesman stood before' the,
world upon tests which all intelligent persons could
a PP»y- : : His accomplishments as a soldier were bv
no means tie limit of his powers.
Js® speaker contended that, notwithstanding his
S Belial regard for, General McOlellal, he
vffW J«e-°J crge others to vote for
him, If he believed that there was the slightest dan
ger, of .his proving; in the office.of the President to
he anything but the firm and Independent min that
hneonceived him to be. He continued: If any man
labors to bring about General McClelland election
in the expectation that he can thereby accomplish
; any selfish, personal scheme, or any public nlan or
project that is not as comprehensive as the Union
and aa beneficent as the Constitution itself, in mv
judgment he will make a great mistake. Ifan v
man shall.refrain from voting for him inHhe hMinY
that his Administration wllf he infiue “ed by Any
person or persons in whom the people of this coin.
n’lf frianr Co sJ <le, f " eJl a man wiljjaiso, I fit
licye, greiitly err. 110 good enough, then, to remetn-
S er „ °“ e thtog-that General McClellan, while ho
perceptions* finalities, and knowledge of a
statesman, is not a politician. He has never been
to ,Pl a ? ticB J ;hs arts by which elections
are carried, and I do not believe that he ever wrote -
a fin e in bis life for mere political effect, or.that did
not express his honest convictions. His letter aceept
mg the nomination was written togive to the peonle
of.thls country his ideas of the principles on which a
national Administration ought In this crisis to be con
stituted, and to state the principles oh which it must
be constituted by him, If he is to be thenext Presi
