Vrtss. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1864. The Argument of a Mob. The death of JAMES CAMPBELL, killed on Saturday night in a street fight, while the Democratic procession was parading, is, to all good citizens, an event to be la mented. But it is a godsend to a class of politicians who would make party capital even out of the grave. Before the Unfor tunate man is buried they electioneer over his corse. - Even before the coroner's in quest has given its verdict, before a single witness has been-produced who could swear that he saw himltilled,-these - men: charge his death upon the Union party, and assert that he was deliberately murdered " be etudehe was a Democrat." ' This they do without an iota of evidence that his death was not the result of an 'accident ; they are even unable to give the name of the person who killed him. In their indecent haste to manufacture an election card out of a common incident of a'street fight, they have anticipated the Ordinary - - course of law, and have , based a most atrocious calumny 'on 'a confession ...Of the grossest ignorance. We need not de fend the Union party of Philadelphia agai • nst a charge so radically absurd. It controls the 'city. Since it has been in power it has given Philadelphia an un equalled reputation for peace and order. It has prevented riot, punished crime, and made its darkest streets safer at midnight than the thoroughfares of. New York have been at noonday. It is pre-eminently the party of government and order, and:the vile charge that it is "organized Lincolnism" for the murder of. Unoffending Democrats is toil vile to have serious refutation. But we cannot pass by without the severest condemnation tbe disgraceful ,attempt save ral Democratic clubs have made to use the death of this anan. as a means to influence the election: The spirit that animates their resolutions ,has - kindled every riot that has disgraced the city, and was - the true cause of his death.. I . n. a street-fight' no man is safe. The rioter may escape unharmed, and the in. nocent bys.tand.er may be slain. . The fate which suddenly overtook JAMES CAMP BELL any Union man might have met. Violence was used by both parties in the disturbance, and all respectable citizens, in and out of the procession, (the Vast ma jority we are glad to believe) had no part in it. As we declared on Monday, the riot was one in which good men of All parties took sides with the poliee,,who en deavored to suppress it. The more shame upon those_ men who have' used the accident of death as an ap peal against principle, and who substitute for argument the exciting cry of revenge. They have taken a course which may make one death the parent of an. hundred mur ders. They pave slandered their own city, insulted the intelligent portion of their own party, and outraged the respect due to the grave ; yet they cannot make martyrdom out of misfortune, or gain one respectable vote by their appeal to new riot. We regret the death of JAMES CAMPBELL—Mt as a Democrat . , but because he was, so far as we know, a good and peaceful .citizen. But, bad he been the . warmest admirer our candidates ever possessed, we should scorn to make a political rostrum of his coffin ; we should deplore his death, precisely as we now do, as a disgraceful incident of a riot, in which none of the participants are known to us as Union men or Democrats, but simply as enemies of the public peace. Coercing Elections. Acting upon the forced supposition. that General Dr\ intended to coerce the elec tion on:the border of New York, threatened by an'incursion of rebels from Canada, Governor.SENWOUR. has commissioned one JOHN A. GREEN a brigadier of militia to take charge of the tier of counties in which visitors from Canada may be expected. This General <form A. GREEN, a politician of well known Southern sympathies, issues an order 'in which he declares that the enaction is a civil affair, in which,the mili tary have ,no concern whatever.. It is,: therefore, extremely difficult to discover what a brigadier general like Mr. GREEN has to do with the matter. But we pre sume that Gov. SEYMOUR desires to indulge his old love in contesting small points of State sovereignty, especially when he can turn it to some account in a Democratic election. If New York were besieged by rebel •or British guns, what would Gov. SEYMOUR have to say ? If Canada opened its batteries, what then? If another de mons' riot threatened to engulf New York, what then? Gov. SEYMOUR has already PrOved his inability to put-down one welk-known riot, - unaided by the officers, of the General Go vernment. Now General Dix .is the - United States military commander fbr New York:. The North has been frequent ly invaded by rebels in Canada, besides having been very recently threatened, as we well know. Gen. Dix has neither claimed nor even. hinted a right to interfere with elections, or to coerce voters, and Gov. SEIIvIOUR governs in a very small way. He attacks straws, but would not -fight a riot. This is State sovereignty Soft speech for insurgents,- hard words for the Goverrinient Amid?all this, we see how hard the Governor. of -New York is work ing to secure the election of a Presidential candidate' who promises his adherents the operatian; of a more vigorous: na tional4 !" A Remarkable Case of Non-Committal. The following resolution, offered in the House of Representatives on the 17th of - December, 1800, are words of WASHING TON'S Farewell Address, all but the single clause of a sentence, - which is only a para phrase of WASHINGTON'S text : RCSONed, That we properly estimate ense value of our national Union to our co and individual happiness ; that we cherish a c • bitual, and immovable attachment to it; will speak of ft as of the palladium of our poll ical safety and prosperity ; that we will watch its preser vation with jealous anxiety; that we will discoun tenance whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frown down the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion ()four-country from the rest, or enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts ; that we regard it as the main pillar of the edifice of our real independence, the support of our tranquillity at home, our peace abroad, our safety, our prosperity, and that very liberty which we so highly prize ; that we have seen nothing lathe past, nor do we t ehe anything in the present, either In the electiOn of filar. Lincoln to the Presidency of the United States, or from any other existing cause, to justify its dissolution . ; that we regard its perpe tuity as of more value than the temporary triumph of any party or any man; that whatever abuses or evils exist under it ought to be corrected within the Union, In a peaceful and constitutional way; that we believe' it has sufficient power to redress every wrong and enforce every right growing out of its organization or pertaining to its proper functions, and that it is a patriotiC duty to stand by it as our hope in peace and our defence in war." Mr. MORRIS could not have chosen a better model, no patriot could ask a better platform, than the Farewell Address of the " Father , of his Country." But Mr. PEN DLETON treated this resolution with the same favor be bestowed on the motion to "aid and comfort" the soldiers of the Union. Not knowing, or not caring to know, that the friends of the Union took their guide fTom the maxims of WASHING TON, and that the great father of 'the Re public was as much opposed to rebellion as any Unionist of 'the i)resent day, Mr. PEN DLETON dodged! He refused to endorse even WASHINGTON'S words, and of his own accord fell into a trap. Those who read the resolution- carefully will find that in order to have any ,objection, XL. PENDLE TON must haVe objected to it all, the sum and substance being that the was wrong. Yet the man who could not sub scribe to the words of WASHINGTON found no difficulty in endorsing the Chicago platform, and wrote a letter to join his views to those of General MCCLELLAN, after most of the peace leaders had repudi ated the latter. It will not take long to discover whether PENDLETON, the Chicago candidate for the Vice Presidency, is a patriot after WASHINGTON, or the puppet of VALLANDIGHAM. An Admission. from Governor Seymour, A short speech delivered by Governor SEYMOUR at Penn Yan, N. Y., affords an index of the polieY and character of the man., deferring to the lately discovered frauds, he said.:." I. understand the Gib vernment has- arrested some persons in Washington on the charge of illegally alter ing the soldiers' votes. It ill becomes a Government which has sent soldiers by en tire regiments to vote in Indiana, and which has controlled the ballot-box in Ma ryland by the, bayonet, to inquire very closely concerning a few frciaidlttent votes." So, Governor SEYMOUR does acknowledge that- a fraud was committed And this with the air of a 'spiteful man, retorting back upon the Government. "The few fraudulent votes" to which the, Governor alludes are the great underground mann-, factory discovered : in Baltimore. The frauds charged upon the Generalt Go vernment are the legal votes of the sol diers in Indiana, and thelegal votes under the laws of Maryland. We cannot. tell in what way the Government has coerced the votes of Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Penn sylvania, Maine, and Vermont, but we IDOW very well how Governor SEYMOUR and the Democratic leaders have done it, namely : by the Chicago platform, in viting the people to fall down at the feet of their enemies ; by the conspi racy urging the people to arm themselves against the laws ;- by the cabal of seces sionists North and rebels South; by Messrs. Weori, VocoinaEs, and VALLANDIGUAM'S Plan for a partition of the North ; by the scheme for fofeign interference, and the secret interview with the British Minis ter.; by the well-known cabal between lead ing secessionists North and rebels South ; by the incapacity and shame of MeCLEr..:, LAN;--all these, and more. Are the results, disproportionate to the causes ? or, does the Governor of New York believe that the people are only fit to be cheated, and that fraud at elections is just such another bene ficent institution as slavery?` ARE the managers of Gen: McOLELLArr in faVor of foreign intervention ? The Chi.. cago platform is ominously silent upon the Monroe Doctrine, and does not auggest even a word against foreign interference in the war. All this is studiously avoided. The war is pronounced a failure ; the sol diers of the nation are snubbed ; but not one word is said against intervention. This cup, `brimfull of humiliation, is presented to the former generai-in-chief of the na tional- army, but he does not - reject it I Lord LTows wrote to his GovernMent,. February - , 1862, after haVing held an in terview with leading Democrats in the Mc- Clellan interest, that several of them had secretly assured him that "if their own party - was in power they would accept an offer of mediation." Some of the nobility of ,England, headed by Sir HENRY DE HOGIETOR", .an agent and confidant of the rebels in London, haVe just is sued an insulting address to the peo ple of the North (in care of GOVelttOT SEYMOUR), telling them that the war is a failere, and that the Union can never be restored. This is one of the Peace Demo-. critic docuinents of the 'Campaign: HoW . .do War Democrats,.or those who think that, however peace may be arrived at, the honor of the Government should be sus tained—how _do they like this picture ? The Chicago Democrats <and the aristo antic anti-Federalists of England hand-in hand The British and Northern agents of the rebels plotting together for the overthrow of the Union ! The oppressors of Ireland cheek-by-jowl with the friends Of slavery and secession " ORGANIZAtION" should be the watch word of the hour among Union men throughout the State. Real victories may be obtained in every district, which, if they do not show.in themselves, will figure bravely in the general result. Every township which lessens a Democratic majority will have achieved - a triumph ; every county which brings down - a Democratic majority of 1,000 to 800 or 500, 'will have gained a suc cess which must operate upon the future as well as the present But the majorities in Union counties can be increased far beyond the standard. Every ,township and neigh borhood should: sustain the work of organi zation. The cause demands an overwhelm ing victory—a full expression of the peo ple. Every friend of the imperilled Union should work in earnest. THE CHICAGO. CONVENTION has had its answer. The platform on which it placed McCLELLAN pronounces the war. to be a failure, and demands an armistice. Well, the rebels agree with the opinion ; and are - willing to. grant the request. The Charles ton (S. C.) Mercury of a recent date thus ably shows the advantages. the rebellion would gain from the election of McCLEL LAN, and the establishment of the pOlicy to which his party is pledged ' , President Davis, who has bsen oPposed to making any concessions whatever to the enemy, has been finally prevailed upon to grant an armi stice to the North, provided It is solicited in 'a respectful manner. This proposed armistice, if granted, raises the blockade by land and sea, which will enable our Nipple to lay in a large amount of supplies. The deserters from our ser 'vice will then be glad to return in order to receive their pay and an honorable discharge, which will give us an additional - force of 200,000 veterans. Then, .if hostilities are resumed, the South . is Sure of success. Therefor% we lose nothing by - granting this experiment to the Yankees, who have openly* confessed that they are whipped by proolaiming the war on their part a failure), Such is the contemptuous answer to the cowardly proclamation of Chicago. Gen. IEfoCLELLAN and his party may make the most of it. THERE are hundreds of partisans, who, rather than see their party ruined by being abandoned, blind themselves to the unut terable disgrace of supporting the Chicago platform. Such men should remember that the future demands something of them, and that their country appeals to them now as eloquently as it did to our fathers in the Revolution. American freemen should be somethingbetter than clansmen, ownedlby demagogues and sold to factions. They do not need the courage of the soldier who has,defended his country to vote indepen dently. At the approaching election they must deeide whether an American nation ality exists. " I HAVE no doubt," says Gen. GRANT, "that the enemy are exceedingly anxious to hold on until after the Presidential elec tion. They hope a counter-revolution ; they hope the election of a peace candi date." " Mr. VALLANDIGIIAM, wrote the second, the material resolution of the Chicago platform," says the prime apos tle of anarchy. This resolution prescribes an armistice based upon the failure of the war. Upon this platform Gen. McCum -Laic stands. " McCLELLAN's election is the only hope of Southern " independence," says the Charleston Mercury. "McCLELTaN is no minated ; don't oppose," are the words of GEORGE N. SANDERS' telegram to the Anglo-rebel journalists in London. WHAT shall we think of the journals which avail themselves of the passions of outlaws and scoundrels to make capital for their party ? Col.:. B. STOCEETT MATTHEWS, of Mary; land, :will deliver an address at the Aca dethy of Music, on Thursday (to-morrow) evening. The Hon. JEREMIAH CLEMENS, late Senator from Alabima, will address the people at Union League Hall on the same evening. • To-nrowr Amu, E. Dlcamtsox will speak at the Hall of the Invincibles. The reap pearance of this lady in the Presidential can vass should attract an immense audience. lllHE'lLeilh.T7N .e. eo . sv.Vl 6 .—ssTehles o U r ra w tAr S a ta t tea ll st ill ea ra m m e; Tullahoma., Lieut: Commanding De Haven, ar rived to•day from Hampton Roads and exchanged salutes with the Citadel and the flag-ship Duncan.

THE PRESS:-PIIILADELPHIA; WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,186 C Vie Raiders from Canada. The United States, acting on the extra dition treaty, have claimed from the Cana dian authorities the ruffians who lately pil laged at. Albans; Vermont, committing murder also. It is probable that these men will be surrendered—the only plea put in for them being that they acted in the ser vice of "the so-called Confederate States," and held a commission from JEFF DAVIS. It is said that if their surrender be ordered, they will appeal to the British Privy Coun cil Chamber for release. We believe that they have no such appellant power. We have great satisfaction in quoting, on this case, the moderate and sensible remarks of the Albion, the influential journal published in New York, as the special representative of British and Colonial policy there. The " fine Italian hand" of Mr. WILLIAM Your°, the editor of the Albion', is visible in what we annex II Until the claim of the United States for the de livery of these prisoners is determined, it were pre mature to consider their offence upon the neutral soil, in making it thitir base of operations. Ono thing, -however, is pretty clear. There is worse— worse, so far as Canada itself is coneerned—behind the efforts of the Southern refugees who have taken up quarters in our colonies. They design something more than harassing their enemies, and exacting vengeance for spoliations a thousand miles away. They plot and scheme to bring the British and Uni ted States authorities Into collision, in the hope that a legal embarrassment, or rash action, might eventuate in war. The idea Is not unnatural, but its execution must be nipped in the bud, If there be Southerners in Montreal who are notoriously, en gaged in breeding a perilous state of things, but whom it Is difficult or impossible to convict of violation-of the law, they' Ought to be transferred withovt any superfluous delicacy; to a less accessible place in the province, or altogether beyond its borders. The rights of hospitality arc sacred, frul they arc bind, ing 071 both sides," . • s.lr grimy tic ,liogl4on, Bart. A letter from England lately reached Mr. Simaoun, Governor of New York, signed " HENRY n 11001ITON, Bart.," en closing what purported to be an address from the people of the United Kingdom to the people of. the United States. It en treated the latter to end the war, by acknowledging the independence of the rebel States, "in the name of Humanity." This letter-sending was as if a petition praying Queen VICTORIA to surrender Ire land to the Pinian Brotherhood should be transmitted from Providence, B. 1., to Mr. BAILLIE, Lord Lieutenant of Dum bartonshire, in. Scotland: In the sacred name of Humanity is a high-sounding pretence :—but only a pre tence here, for, Mr. DUDLEY, American Consul at Liverpool, has supplied our Go vernment with the fact that Sir HENRY DE HOGRTON, who is a member of the pro slavery " Southern Independence Associa tion " of Lancashire, having great faith in Rebeldom, had invested $1,750,000 in that bubble of bubbles, the Confederate loan. He trembles for his "tin"—but need not have any dread of losing his brass. His hope is that, if peac.e be restored, without vanquishing the rebels, the United States will undertake to pay off the Confederate loan and similar liabilities. Hence, the disinterestedness of his conduct. His " ha manity " comes down to his strong box, and he reminds one of a military gentle man named in song, ' "The Immortal Captain Wattle, Who was all for love, and a little for the bottle.” DE HOGIITON is all for humanity, and not a little for his money, which is, as much lost, we suspect, as if he had flung it into the middle of the river Ribble, which flows through part of his estate. Curious persons may ask, who is -this Sir lIENny DE TIOGHYOW, Baronet? We inform such that there is no British baronet of that name. There is an old gentleman called Sir HE,ERy BOLD HOGIITON, one of whose ancestors, nine generations back (in HU), was in the first batch of baronets created by -JAmEs L, on the institution of the Order. The family, which (of course) claimed to have " come in with WILLIAM the Conqueror," held and hold a good estate between Blackburn and Preston, in Lancashire, called Efoghton Tower, and its present representative, who has sent the peace-address to Governor SEYMOUR, and is, litet•ally, " the tenth transmitter of a foolish face," has been militia-colonel, and is justice of the quorum—exactly as Fal staff's ancient friend Shallow was. Over twenty years ago, hechanged his - name - by adding the maternal BoLD to the paternal llounTow, and lately, without condescend ing to the usual legal method, — still further changed it by adding the Norman prefix, and calling himself De HOGHTOIL He has not done this.without precedent, for we re collect that Lord VEiTBY, an Irish Parlia mentary jobber, who obtained a peerage by selling his parliamentary vote at the time of, the - Union, getting ashamed of his rather vulgar patronymic, paid a heavy sum for royal license to alter it, and, in due course the Bibernian Mur.r.rus was changed into the Norman DE MotEvus, which the family hold to be much more genteel--precisely as BOORTON is con, sidered improved by putting DE before it. NVA.S3[I:INGrir.O)N. WASHINGTON, Nov. L 1864. THE ELECTION FRAUDS—SENTENCE OF DO NAHUE AND .PEERY TO IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE. Don Alma and FERRY, the agents in the recent election frauds, have been convicted by, the military commission, and Sentenced to an imprisonment for life. The sentences have been approved, and will be iMmediately carried into execution. The mili tary commission, of which General DOUBLIMAY president, it was announced, would take lip the case of Colonel 5A1113331, NORTH, New York State agent, who was arrested, some days ago, charged with fraud in regard, to the votes of New York soldiers. The court, hoWever, adjourned until to morrow, in order that a coniultation might be had by the military commission with the commissioners appointed by Governor 5E7111017R. TILE • PUBLIC DEBT The official statement of the public debt, for the month of October, shows the amount outstanding to be $2,017,009,515.75, or an increase since the last monthly statement of over $61,000.000. The debt bearing interest in coin is about $931,000,000 ; debt bearing interest in lawful money, $584,000,000 ; the debt on which interest has ceased, $357,000 ; and the debt bearing no interest, $471,532. The interest has increased to $56,616,000 in coin, and to $28,667,000 in lawful money, or $2,000,000 of the former, and $1,500,000 of the latter, the entice amount of In. terest being $85,313,606.63. The unpaid requisitions axe $37,500,000, and the amount in the Treasury nearly $20,080,000. The amount of sir per cent. bonds exchanged for seven-thirties, under the acts of Suly and August, 1862, is nearly $126,000,000, an increase since the former monthly statement of $11,000,000. The amount of five-twenties six per cent. bonds, under the, act of Juno, 1864, is $37,731,000. The seven thirties throe year notes, authorized by the act of July 17th, 1861, have been reduced from $26,000,000 to $14,00,000. The amount of certificateS of indebt edness has been increased $6,338,833. The two years five per cent.. notes have been reduced $4,670,000 since the September statement, and the three years Treasury notes, under the act of June 30, 1864, have been increased nearly $21,000,000. The fractional currency has been reduced from $24,500,000 to $20,720,000. TUE NEW YORK COMMISSION The New York Commission to-day obtained the seven or eight hundred soldiers' votes which were detained when Col. NORTH, the State agent, was arrested, and have forwarded them to the proper localities in that State. The commission have not as yet succeeded in having agents recognized and empowered to administer oaths and receive Demo cratic votes in 'Washington, Alexandria, and Balti more, and in the camps and hospitals. This delay is not, however, attributed to any superior officer of the Government. The commission are to have further interviews with the Secretary of War. Their business is far from being finished. The ques tion of power and jurisdiction, relative to the recent arrest of COL NORTH and other citizens of New York, is still pendleg. DETECTION OF COUNTERFEITERS. Congress at the last session placed a considerable BUM of money at the disposal of the Secretary of the Treasury, to be employed in the prosecution of measures for the detection and punishment of per sons engaged In counterfeiting the National Our. roue) , and other securities. Liberal rewards have already been paid to several parties, who have aided in the apprehension of counterfeiters. The admi nistration and conduct of the necessary measures to this end are by order of the Secretary placed under the Immediate supervision of the Hon. EDWARD JORDAN, Solicitor of the Treasury, to whom all per sons having a knowledge of facts Important to be known by the Department concerning Bach offence should make their communication. AIDING SOLDIERS TO . DESERT. Three persons found guilty, by a military coin- MiSEIOII, of aiding soldiers to desert have been sent from Washington to the Albany Penitentiary.

The blockade-runner, Flamingo, from Nassau, N. P., was sunk on the 23d ult., near the mouth of Charleston - harbor, by our Morris Island batteries. Gen. Foster brought with him from Flo rida a hundred barrels of oranges for the soldiers. There seems to be a ,prospect of exchanging all the sick and wounded on both sides. The fund for the relief our prisoners, raised among the soldiers, amounts to $1,800; and has been sent to Savannah to be placed in the hands of a clergyman. Quite a number of deserters have recently reached oar lines from Savannah. IKOSEBIVS: GUERILLAS. RartrLsa OF mos/airs ouzamies.AT sALitar, vat. WASHINGTON. Nov.

Circuit Court, to-day, confirmed the claim of the city of San Francisco to four square leagues of land, embracing the site of the city and the Imme diately adjacent territory.' As every land owner derives a title from the city, and this decision renders them secure in their own ership, this decision is quite an important one. The case Is appealable to the - United States Supreme Court, but all our local and State courts have de cided in the tame way as Judge Field. Captuie of the Roanoke. NEW Youx,Nov.l..—Pdr. Hawley, of the captured steamer Roanoke, in a statement of the affair, says the steamer was boarded in Havana; harbor' bY' three butts, containing passengers, who In the evening proved themselves to be rebels in disguise, led by Lieut. Brain°. The ollicere and crew wore overpowered, end made prisoners, and the' vessel headed for Bermuda, where a pilot was' called on board. Lieutenant Braine went ashore and brought on board a party of rebels, and the vessel put to sea., soon overhauling a brig with Coal and provisions for the pirates; On the next day a vessel was 'mot will& was to take off the passengers. The transfer was made, to gather with a quantity of cotton, and the steamer was set on fire. The pazsengers and crew;were taken Into Fathom Hole, and the purser and first officer went ashore to have the pirates arrested. They were ar• rested, but after a mock trial by the British autho rities were discharged. The Roanoke had on board $17,000 in greenbacks and $4,000 in gold.

Barnard's Review of McCiellan's Report, and His Reply to the National Intelligoncer. McClellan alike Disingenuous and Incapable as a Military Leader. CROWNING RVIDRNOR OF HIS INCOMPETENCY. General. J.' G. Barnard, the engineer.ln-chief of the army, the friend and associate of Lieut. Gen. Scott, and a soldier long distinguished before Gen. McClellan became known to fame, has addressed the following letter to the Washington Chronicle. General Barnard was engineer-in.chief under Me clellan, as now under Grant, and his opinion of McClellan's peninsula camp:km.ls well known. He regarded it as a disaster due to the incapacity of Gen. McClellan. Provoked by toe many false statements of its author, Gen. B. lately reviewed at length the report of General McClellan, and ex. cited vituperation and slander from the political partisans of the incompetent cemmander. He re plies to the attack in the Intelligencer of, the remnant of argument made - to palliate IVlcOlellan's tary failures, on the ground that he acted on the ad.. vice of his best generals, and was only= decienid by the Administration. As General Barnard , s review and letter are entirely military documents, thoy will receive wide attention, and will bo classed with the testimony of McCall, Kearney, Sumner, Hooker, and more of the bravest - and ablest mon of the army, in proof of the incompetency of McClellan. General Barnard's letter appears to prove that "the Young Napoleon" is quite as disingenuous as ~ incapable : Ovry Porwr Va., Oct. 29,184 To the Editor of I : he Chronicle: ' , . In an article of four and a half Columns, headed "An Engineer Turned Pamphleteer," devoted to my review of General McClellan's' report, the Na tional Intelligence?' Qom men oel by calling it a." coarse and malignant personal attack on General McClel lan." It then proceeds to select and quote what I am bound to presume it finds the most character istic passages in support of its allegation, They are at'follows a "Mismanagement in face of the enemy," "culpable negligence," "more than childish levity and obstinacy," "and with having forfeited every claim to generalship, even of the most indifferent character." As it was the object,of the review to prove the justice of these epressicns—as their propriety or impropriety depends entirely upon the proof offered—l simply refer the reader to the work itself. But as the "lust" of defamation" is not sufficiently exhibited in phrases which are simply coroliaries from the evi dence_set forth, the Intelligencer charges me with "impeaching the truthfulness and candor of Gene ral McClellan by lovelllng against it" (sic) " the grossest accusations'," and the phrases specified are "resorting to an unworthy subterfuge," (p.. 20,) " stultifying his own conclusions," (p. 21,) "falsifi. cation."-the latelligencer , s own:word, not mine— which bear ' , tale- stamp of disingenuous after thought," (p. 25,) "and other such dishonorable im putations." I repeat here the passage from page 20; "Citing the order detaining McDowell, Gen. Mc- Clellan resorts to the unworthy subterfuge of repre senting it as a withdrawal of troops from his com mand, by the President, in violatien of his promise 'that nothing of the sort should be repeated? (he refers to a previous . withdrawal of Blenken divi. sion—a body of troops of which he had more than once expressed his determination to rid himself-in some way) ; that I might rest assured that the campaign should proceed with no , further deduction from the force upon which its operations had been planned;' whereas; it was' simply an enforcement of the conditions upon which the President treluc. tautly sanctioned the plan." Let•the reader judge ; it is an issue made by Gen. McClellan himself. lie charges the President of the United States with a violation of his promise. 'I prove that the charge is unfounded, and style it an unworthy subterfuge." Gen. McClellan cites a despatch of the Seeretary of War, ()I'M - arch 18, and proceeds to state "It will be observed that this order rendered it impossible for me to use the James river as a bare of operations, and forced me to establish our depots on the Palnunkey; and to approach Richmond from the north." - Can anything be more explicit than this language'? He further adds: "The land movement obliged me to expose my right in order to secure the junction, and as the order for General McDowell's march was soon counter mended, I incurred great risk, of whieh the enemy. took advantage, and frustrated the plan of the cam paign. "Here is'a charge against the War Department of the very grtivest character. I show (and it is a no torious fact) that, at the date of this order, "our depots" were already "established on the Pamun key," and that the army was nearly up to the °bloke, hominy on its march "to approach Richmond from the north ;" and I quote General McClellan's testimony, given before the Committee on. the Con duct of the War, to show that In this grave charge he contradicts his own statement, made under the solemnity of an oath. The record is worth repeat ing. Question. Could not the advance on Richmond from Williamsburg have been made with better prcorect of success by the Jame& river than by the route pursued, and what were the reasons for taking the route adopted? "Answer. 1 do not think that the navy at that time was in a condition to make the line of the :fames river perfectly sure for our supplies. The line of the Pamunkey offered greater advantages in that re spect. The place was in a better position to effect a junction with any troops that might move from Washington on the Fredericksburg line. I remem ber that the idea of moving on the James river was serieusly discussed at that time. But the conclu sion was arrived at that, under the circumstances' then existing, the route actually followed was - the best. I think the Merrimac was destroyed while we were at Williamsburg." My com so ment is, "The stamp of disingenuous after thought, palpable on every page of the report to those who are familiar with the march of events of this campaign, is here made , palpable to the general reader." Had I been as "fluent in crimination," as copious in noy.vocabulary of literary "garbage," as my defamer, I should have found another term than "disingenuous afterthought" for this charge upon the Administration, not only baseless, but proved so by its author. If, any reader thinks that, the remaining phrase specified," "stultifying his own conclusions," is an extravakant and calumnious expression, I will only refer him to the page from which it Is quoted and the context. • Having refeared.to the cited instances of my viola tion of the "amenities " of discussion, the Intelligen, car proceeds to exhibit its own respect for them : "Fluent In crimination," " reeking with personal villiticatlon;" "such a farrago of calumnious in sinuation at& vituperation," &c. ; while the "Re. .publican Executive Congressional Committee" come infer a share of its amenities, since, " in spite of Its garbage," they are presumed to be "attract ed by its noisome odor." Having- nearly exhausted its "amenities," the Intelligencer proceeds to. "expose the palpable eon tradictions which exist between the professional Opinions' of General Barnard, as compared with his official report' made in January, 1.902," first stating that "it was partly by his [my] advino, given in his professional character as an engineer, that the at tempt to dislodge the enemy from his positions on . the Potcmac.was not made." He quotes from an official letter of Mine " Should we, then, consider ing all the consequences which may be involved, 'enter into an operation merely to capture the Potomac batteries 1 I think not." This letter was written at the end of February, 1862, after the blockade of the Potomac had been permitted for five months, and at a season when the commencement of active field operations was daily expected. I state that to capture the batteries ' 4 ft e would have alrto do if we were really opening a campaign against them there ;" and it was in the sense of making the batteries the objective of a campaign, after they had been perinitted to exist for five months, and when they must fall as the re snit of successful operations against the enemy in our immediate front, that I objected to the opera tion. The matter was subsequently discussed by the council of war of March 2d, and my conclusions subStantially arrived at. - The Intelltgencer quotes from my report on the siege of Yorktown to General Totten, chief engi neer, Ti. S. A. to convict me of inconsistency, I say: "If we.dould have broken the enemy's lines across 'the - Isthmus we could have invested Yorktown," &0., and add , "It Was not deemed practicable, con meting' the strength of that lice and the ditioulty of handling our forces (owing to the impracticable character of .the country), to do so. It we could take Ydrktown, or drive the enemy out of Yorktown, the enemy's lines were no longer tenable. This we could do by siege operations, and the result was, in 107 mind a certainty." Let it be borne in mind that I was writing a report from the field, and while the army was in active campaign. It was my duty to set forth the reasons which controlled, or were sup posed to control, the course taken, not to criticise it. I state that the result of a siege was, in my mind, a certainty. Ido not profess to have controlled the course taken (a, siege), but statePthiat "it was deemed too hazardowi to attempt the reduction of the place by assault." This is the committal, and the only committal to which I refer in my report to General McClellan.' I do not profess to have urged on an assault, or to have objected to a siege. I suggested to General McClellan an assault, and I indicated the places. He did not think proper to make it, and I deferred to his judgment.. General Pdcelellan was, by proles slop. a military engineer. He had had experience in that branch Of the profession which concerns the practical dimes of field engineering. He had, moreover, visited the scene of the most instructive operations of this kind on record (where ho had been sent expressly to study them), Sebastopol. To him, not to me, was entrusted the destinies of the nation, and his, not mine, was the campaign. I did my duty, as a subordinate, in giving him all the data I had as to the works, and in leaving the course to be . taken to his judgment. If, with the light of his )übsequent operations, and from other sources, I now pronounce that, " if there ever was a case in which such& step (an assault) was not merely jus tifiable and advisable, it was surely this." I have reasons for the opinion, and give them. As to the not opening the batteries as they were ready, I nowhere call a "great blunder." I say they ought to have been opened, and when called to testily why they were not opened, I take the blame to myself. I really do not see the point the Intelligencer strives to make of it, unless, to.presume to ()Midst) General McClellan, I must prove my own infallibility. My letter to Mr Wm. Henry Hurlbert, whiehther Intetligencer has given at length. as a proorof incon sistency, was prompted by certain remarks of his, in his translation of the Prince de Join villa's pamphlet, etneerning the graduates of the military academy, to affirm that, while they (the Southern graduates) have Maintained their own at the Academy and in the service, and in the various fields of warfare, to which our little army has been called, there was "not afforded •by their career or reputation the slightest ground for attributing to them military or ecientffic superiority ;" and in illustrating this, the advantages of the defence, and the disadvantages of our own part (offensive war fare) were pointed out. The faults of the Adminis tration in the management of the war wore indicated without charging what is charged against it by the friends of General McClellan, that "to the blunders and incapacity, of the Ad ministration all our disasters are duo." It had no lorther special reference to General McClellan or his campaign than to the division of commands and the general difficulties of the campaign. My opinion as to General McClellan's generalship and agency in producing the disasters of the oampatgn were then precisely what they are now, as .E can readily prove by the evidence of others, among whom I might name the venerable Governor Kem ble of New York, and General This letter to' Wm. Henry IT.urlbut was written Mit a few weeks before writing my official report. It was written some time after General MoCiellan's removal from command, as was the official report. Any one whose inward corruption did not make the air of heaven seem but "noisome odor," and whose natural food was ought but "garbage," would have found In this letter the proof of my readiness to• speak my convictions without regard to the good graces of either Stanton or McClellan, rather than of the vile imputations the Intelligcncer has brought upon me. 'The " Intelligencer" sees fit, by "legal presump tion," by attempted witticisms and sundry quota tions from Shakspeare, to discredit my assertion that I vas "unconscious that such a committee ff. e. ..the Committee on the ' Conduct of the War] yet existed when .1 wrote my report." If I had said " I was unconscious that such a paper as the " National Intelligencer' was published In 'Washington when. I wrote that .report," my defamer would have triumphantly affirmed, as a proof of the contrary, that I was a subscriber to that paper, and that it was daily delivered at my house. And yet the assertion would haws been strictly true. I wrote that report in complete un consciousness of the publication'of that journal, as I also did in complete unconsolousness of the con tinued existence of the Committee on the Conduct of the War. The language of gross' insult which the Intelli gelicer Las used In connection with my name has been chosen in order to discredit what it cannot dewy.. The statements of my review are made alum the evidence of others, among whom is General Mc- Clellan hisslself. In a report prepared with all tie. liberation, General AlcOlellan has ohargoal the Pre• sident of the United States with violation of his "promise," in withdrawing troops from his com mand, and has alleged that it frustrated all his plans for impending operations. He has charged the Secretary of War with imposing upon him a line of march and a location of de pots which frustrated the plan of the campaign. Be bas charged his predecessor—no other than the illustrious Scott—with "the total absenoe of a ge neral plan," "the utter disorganisation and want of preparation in the Western armies ;" and he has made against the Secretary of War the outrageous charge of "doing his best to sacrifice" the Army of the Potomac. Those charges are but the graver specimens of the character of the whole report, I which, while it exhibits the disingenuousness of the writer, proves even more forcibly his incapacity. Those who, like myself, wept on the field of Mal vern Hill, need no apology if, in a matter in which the destinies of the nation are concerned, they feel that convictions of truth demand to be uttered, re gardless of personal considerations. The Intelligence? remarks in the commencement of its article that "when ho wrote his 'review,' General Barnard was only a brigadier general of volunteers ; since the publication he has been made a major general of volunteers." As the editors are not attacking the Administration, but me, the In ference they intend to have drawn is that I wrote it to gain professional advancement. The Inleiligencer had knowledge, or might have bad, to what ex• tent 1 would seek the goodgraces of the Adminis tration in order to obtain professional advancement, when previous to this publication I declined a nomi nation; actually made; to one of the most honorable and distinguished positions in the United States army, out of deference to what I believed the just olefins of' another and. older officer, and because I preferred, during the crisis in my country's exist ence, service in the field to a bureau in Washington. The " breret " of "major general of volunteers" would be a rich compensation, indeed, for the chief engineership of the United States and for prostitu ting soy pen to courting the favor of the Adtainia- tration, or for using it otherwise than according to my convictions of truth. 3EIU3ROPk..I.

[From the Charleston Mercury, Oct. 6.1 • In order, wo presume, that he might not be mis understood !n his policy of reconstruction, the Vice President refers to the Convention of 1787 as the model of the convention he proposes for the assem bling of the Confederate and the United States to a ether. Let us see, then, what was the Convention of 1767: . 1. The Convention of 1787 arose from the Supposed deficiencies of the articles of confederation to carry on the affairs of the United States. It NS y ()ailed by States already in confederation, after heir inde pendence was achieved, and the war with Great Britain was ended; to alter or amend their articles of confederation. Is this now the condition of the Confederate and of the United States towards each otber I In 1757, the States *Mot assembled together in convention were at that very time united together reader one Government, and upon the most inti mate relations of amity, having fought together through a seven years' war, for tneir common inde pendence and liberty. In 1884 Mr. Stephens advo cates a convention of the Confederate States with the - United States, from whom they have separated, because of their faithlessness and oppressions, and who are now waging against them a tierce and barbarous war for their subjugation. The circum stances, then, In which the States which formed the Convention of 1757 were placed, aro very different from those in which the Confederate and. the United States now stand toward each other. The former was a convention of friends, the latter must be a convention of enemies. 2. Pdr. Stephens proposes that the delegates ap pointed to the Convention of 1864 shall be clothed with powers to coma and agree upon some plan of adjustment of our present difficulties and strife, to be submitted for subsequent ratification by the sovereign States whom It affected. So far as the submission of its labors to the States for ratifica• tin is concerned, the proposed Convention of 1861 is like the Convention of 1787 ; but there is a most striking difference between them as to the matters to be adjusted. There were no " difficulties "as to rights; there was no • "strife" displayed or furious wet to be adjusted in the Convention of 1787. But now we are to Ego into a convention withtbose who deny us all rights, and who have been for three years striving by the sword to root out of our land. 3. The Convention of 1787 was assembled to 1, form a moro perfect Union." The preamble of the Con stitution submitted to the States for their ratifica tion places this as the very first reason which go verned their labors. General Washington, the. President of the Convention of 1787, assigns this as the one great object of the Convention. Now, no Union exists at all between the Confederate and the United. States. But if the Convention iVIr. Stephens proposes is to be like the Convention of 1787, its grand object must be "to form a more per fect Union" between the Confederate and the Uni ted States ; in other woi ds, a reconstruction of the defunct Union. 4. The Convention of 1787 was limited in its pow ers. The resolution of the Congress on the Confede ration recommended "that.a convention should meet in Philadelphia on the second Monday in May ensuing, for the purpose of revising the articles of Confederation, and reporting to Congress and the several Legislatures such alterations andprovlsions therein as shall, when agreed to in Congress, be con firmed by the States." Mr. Stephens supports a convention of the Confederate and the United States, in which the delegates shall be limitless in their powers. They aro to be "clothed with - powers to consult and agree upon some plan of adjust ment." Our liberties, rights, and independence are all to be liable to the " plan of adjustment." Why the jealousy which actuated our fathers in en tering into the Convention of 1787, formed only with friends, should be repudiated on entering a propoEed convention with oar unprincipled Yankee enemies, Is a matter, we presume, quite beyond our humble appreciation. The Recent Speeches at raisenfl HSU. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Re rthlican. says: The people have an intense appetite for public . speaking, this fall. I have never known so many Faneuil Hall meetings, and there Is a great demand for " orationists" in almost every town In the east. em and central parts of the State. Boston has had its fair share of the great speeches of the campaign. Mr. Everett's speechEl did not hear, bat it seemed to me, on the reading to be very strong, and I know that It has done, and is doing, great good. On the question , of slavery it was particularly- setts factory, going almost, if not quite as far as. : Mr. Sumner, who, in his celebrated resold. • Vow, or .In one of hiS speeches, hold that. the man who, in this oriels, deals tenderly. towards slavery, is, in fact, "giving aid and cotn felt to the enemy." I did not hear Colonel 13M lock•at Faneull Hall, but the ground-work of his speech was laid out in my. hearing in the Town Hall in Malden, and I am, therefore, well prepared •to acquiesce In the judgment of a. gentleman well versed in literature as well as polities— umhooreesvaeyrs not n was special a ly ve a ry n a b d ri m il i t r a e n r t of an C d ole e n er e e l e S t a speech indeed. There is no denying the speaker's oratorical powers. Dougherty, the Philadelphia. Irish lawyer, is said to have been "Immense.' , Last night we had General Banks. and his speech was no less a success, judging by the- applause of his great audience, than those of the speakers whose fame had filled Faneull Hall before him. So, on the whole, we teay safely say that we have had speeches which compare well with,,if they do not excel, those of Carl Schurz, Charles D. Drake, and Henry Winter Davis, whit% have been, as far as I have observed, the beat of those delivered abroad. I am not so familiar with the Copperhead• speeches, but I think Reverdy Johnson and: Robert C. Win throp have' the bad pre.eminenoe of making and ablest speeches yet delivered on that side. Win throp's speech at New London is very cunning, crammed with falsehood from beginning to end. - I don't see how such respectable men as John C. Tucker can stay in a party which tolerates such a fellow as Winthrop. Terrible Railroad Accident in Indiana. Irwierzeroms, Nov.

PHELPS, OF MASS, The Hall was again filled to overflowing last eve ning by an audience of ladies and gentlemen. Atter several airs - by the band stationed in the gallery, Paul Berger, Esq., sang "Rally Round the Flag, Boys," the audience joining in the chorus., • On motion, the . Hon. John Price Wetherill was called to preside. On taking the chair, he congratu lated the audience on the propitious aspect of al fairs. Maryland was to-day a tree State. Missouri ?would ere long follow the redeemed State of Mary land, and soon the flag of the. nation would float above a happy and a free country. lie then intro duced the Hon Chas. A. Phelps, of Massachusetts. rinmenace OF HON. CHAS. A. PHELPS. The speaker said that ho was glad to have an op portunity of addressing his fellow-countrymen in the place in which American Independence was flrstproclalmed. In view of the grand and trans cendent issue before the people, he could not hope to say anything new. In other days the argument was In regard to modes and methods of administer ing the Government, but now the question to bedti mes(' was not as to the policy of the Government, but the very existence of the Government. Apparently the question was already settled by the States which had had an- opportunity of expressing their sentiments through the ballot-box. Oar difficulties had arisen from the two conflicting systems—that of the Sleuth, where capital owns not only labor, but the laborer himself and that of the North, wnere ' the laborer owes the products of his labor. These two systems wore always inimical; but at the time of the formation of the Constitution, it was thought that slave labor would die. The present con dition of the nation was not because that conces sions were refused to the representatives of that system, as they had heretofore been success ful in all their demands. But when we were asked to extend slavery into the free States and. Territories we said a thousand times no; and on that question we went to the polls in 1860, and sub mitted itto that august tribunal from which ,there was no appeal, and we won the verdict. That brought us to the peaceful, constitutional election oe Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. But the people of the South inaugurated secession. Without entering into any argu ment as to the right of secession, the speaker contented himself with the reflection that it had been-denied by tho framers of the Constitu tion. The Union was the glory and strength of the separate States, and the separate States yielded glory, homage t and strength to the Union. Once in the Union, a State was one of the nation forever. Though the South declared that this was a Repub lican war, the speaker reminded his hearers that it was also, at least to the same extent, a Buchanan- Democratic war. [Applause.] Abraham Lincoln was elected in November. On the first Monday in December it was reserved for the Democratic party, through Janes Buchanan, to embody in an official State paper the formula that the United States had no, power to coerce a sovereign State. Secession had been preached on the floor of Congress ' - but that paper was the first official utterance of that doctrine. .After that message six States seceded, and in Febru ary this organization was in full force at Montgo mery, Ala. And they did this while James Bache nan and the Democratic party wielded the whole . power and influence of the Government. Then, by what shadow of justice was this war called a Lin coln or a Republican war? Democrats had made the war. - The leading rebels were formerly members of Democratic administrations. Bat what - was now proposed to be done by the Democratic party of the North? In illustration of their posi tion, the speaker narrated the anecdote of an Irish man, who, in telling his. dream, said: "I thought I saw the Pope - and he axed mo if I would take a drink, and. J. axed him, would a duck swim 1' arid then he axed me would I take my punch hot or cowld 1' and I towld him 'hot,' ana then he went down into the kitchen to get the warm water, and—l woke up ; so now I am sorry I didn't take it cowld." So the framers of the Chicago platform would think, alter the election, that they ought to have taken the other tack on the war question. In regard to the question of slavery, the speaker said that as it had made war on the Union, it should die the death of a traitor. The language of the Op position was : "I sustain the Government as fully as you do ; I am as patriotic as you are ; I have sus tained the Government down to the date of the President's proolamation ;" and this in view of the fact that slavery had outlawed itself, and had drenched the land in fraternal blood. Bat the re presentative of the Chicago platform was a Major General of the United States, whose record was' that of inconsistency. Ho claimed to embody two opposite policies, while pledged to neither. He was undoubtedly a man of unblemished private charac ter, but that fact was of no weight in the considera tion of the issue ; the question was not that of men, but of ideas and principles. Abraham Lincoln was not the representative .of great statesmara ship, but in him and through him the re bels aimed a blow at the life of the Govern ment, and his reelection would prove a more dead ly blow to their cause than was the capture of Atlanta, 01 would be the fall of Richmond . His re election was demanded for the reason that the rebels attempted to substitute the law of violence for the law of the land, and endeavored to overthrow our liberties and free institutions. Ile was an extra,- ordinary man, and in many respects a statesman of great ability. He owed his position to the ad vantages of free labor and free institutions, and, in his own person, eminently represented the beauty and glory of these institutions. Tho speaker drew a, glowing picture , of the .devotion of the Union people et the South to the old flag and the - old Go vernment. Should •ttfey be turned over to the tender mercies of the rebels? This contest was a part cf that great contest between tyrannical op pression and the spirit of liberty which had been waged throughout all the world's history. It be came the men of this day to discharge their whole . duty, and all would be well. 10311 ARES Or REV. EDWARD HA.WES, OB eieute. Rev. Edward Hawes, of Maine, was then intro- duced. The speaker announced that his remarks would be brief. The question was, shall the spirit of slavery become dominant in all our land 3 In another week the oriels. In the history of our country would be passed, and, he hoped, safely passed. To denounce the war as 'a failure was to belie the grandest ' military achievements. The letter of Gen. McClellan had been called a war letter, but it meant war only in a Plakwicktan sense. Even supposing that in case of his election Gen. McClellan endeavored to carry on the war for the suppression of treason, was it not manifeat that those by whose influence he was controlled would prevent him from doing that? To ask for a cessa tion of. hostilities when the armed power of the fla tlets had its hand upon the throat of its would- be as. • sasain was to insult the nation. Peace! Sheri; dan, Sherman, and Farragut were seeking for peace. [Applause.] A general who is now near Richmond is persistent in the belief that peace lies somewhere within the walls of that city, and ha is endeavoring to find it. In advo cacy of a more thorough proaecation of the war, the speaker contended that _there was a divineness in human government, and it had been truly said that when the rebels struck at the stars of the American flag, they struck as high as the stars of heaven, and proVed themselves not revolutionists, but traitors.., [Great applause.] The speaker re ferred to the strong sense of duty welch actuated the soldier in the field.- He had mingled with them very frequently, and had' never heard one of them say that he 'was sorry he had gone to the war. Freida eat Lincoln proposed, in the event of his re-election, 'to carry out this policy of fighting it' out. The speaker read from use recent speech of Mr. Lincoln to a party of loyal Maryland me with reference to the report that in case of the election of his competitor he would use every effort, before the day 'of his inauguration, to destroy the Government. The people had resolved to again en trust the ship of state to him who hactguided the helm during the last three years of war. [Applause.] The speaker said that tee cause of liberty was • marching on. Maryland was free; and before the war had closed the people would at least have the assurance that never again would the slave till the land made red by the blood of patriots. [Great ap plause.] The speaker having concluded, the band struck up the air of "John Brown," which called form rounds of applause. Mr. Henry Torbett, of Maryland, was the nex t speaker. RIB remarks wore mainly explanatory of the many endeavors of its friends and supporters to retain life in the sickly institution of slavery in Ma ryland. Among the most persistent of the doctors who had prescribed for its relief was Dr. John son - but even the prescription of that skilful physician bad proven unavaillum By, the proclamation of freedom In Marylarlif, the Factional line of Mason and Dixon had been wiped oat.. The speaker described a sale of negroes at Elkton, Md., which took place previews to the elec tion in that State on the new Constitution. Not withstanding that a large number of Democrats were present on the occasion, the bids for the pur chase of the negroes did not exceed six dollars. fhis was but ono instance . illustrative of the want of confidence of the Opposition in that State in the suc cess of their own cause. Upon the conclusion of the speaker's •remarke, the meeting adjourned with en thusiastic cheers. THE DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS SPEECH OF HON. SA.A.LUBL S. COX,01? °LIM Last evening Hon S. S. Cox, otherwise known "Sunset" Cox. spoke at the ContinentaL Theatre. His audience filled the house, and had its comp'ernent of lady listeners, who seezne.t quite as enthusiastic and as ready to applaud as the gentlemen. Mr. CON: is a small mile , hie appearance peeToseesing. and his voice power ful snd well modulated, He was introduced by Thos. afepenough, Esq., the president of the meeting, and niece a lengthy speech. Be opened with a defence of the elective franchi-e, fad referred to the immense frauds which he contended had been perpetrated in Indiana and particularly in big Own State—Ohio. In Maryland a Constitution had been adopted against tho wiehes of the people by a system of lest. oaths which found no warrant in the Constitution. and was au outrage on the righte of. the people of that State—en insult deliberately aimed at the Nrbolo Ameri can people. (Applause.) He teen took up the P suite of 1110 Chicago platform and McCiee.an'a letter of ac ceptance. a amioing the planks of the former and the paragraphs of the latter one by ooe, defending them. against the objections urged against them, and fol lowed With a consideration of the Wade-Lavin Pro tect, and the charges preferred in it against the President. Ho argued from tho acts of the President, as cited,in this protest, from the sentiments expressed i the proclamation entitled "To. whom it may concern," and from the tene and manner of the friends of Mr. Lincoln e that neither his Adminle tretion nor its friends could ever restore peace to.the country, and at the same time.being all the St ate&back. into the old Union. he .W.SX Wag waged for the ex tinction of slavery—nothing more, nothing lees—and the sum) ters of the Administration had grown so.bold that they now made no eecret of that mach Everywhere they informed the people that-the war was solely and* eutirely for the abolition of slavery, and that until that end was reached no peace would smile on es, no 'Union again point us onward in the way• of greatness and prosperity.- HIS points in this discussion were received almost, constantly weih alternate laughter and applau.e, He charged the President and his sapPortere with infamous acts of oppression and perjury, consisting in outrages on per eonal liberty and tree speech' and flee press; accused him of prolonging the war for he elfish mimosas; of desiring to reconstruct the States in a way without auy precedent but oue in law or history (and that of Charles L 'who lost his bead ) for the purpose of ineuring his re-election to the exercise fer, lour yeaya more of exe cutive bleep:telly and tyranny. In these a merited unishment was awaiting, him, for the Democracy, on the Sth of November, would cut off his W illies' head. To support this war for the aboli tion of slavery, men by the million almost were called into the field, and hundreds of thousands of them are now resting in unknown graves. A I debt of four thousand millions had been piled up, and taxes were levied on everything Within mortal reach, and alnioet beyond that. In this conuestion he recited.

And the future, ii as same caneeecentinued in operation , wonld iaGsltait worse than the present. We were now rapidly desire ing the proeperity of the coantry, and the e rg If r yas struck when the labor of three millions of m a y diverted from its channel of production and ds • entirely to consumption and destruction. Our pc4-y.. rity then in this city and a"1 over the North Was Gee lions and dieeased. Oar debt, no matter we e e pseudo financial managers at Washington ndaLta,24 did not strengthen our country; neither did it repre s .. 7 l ; wealth, but the lack of wealth. Political econoe e T e .; were beginning to discover that fact in the records of ifs world's experience, and John Stuart Mills, 0600 f th e ablest of them all, bad already fully proven Ce t i a national debt was by no means a great b'eset e . The • debt of Great Britain represented no eei e LZ, value, but a destroyed value -- a value forever atteh;: fated in the American, Napoleonic, and other were just as our debt represents value forever destroyed hi our civil war. In England, as a result of Ude debt, g great proportion of the people were in the almallomeeee fourth part were toiling and struggling all theirtivest e keep out. A great deal or currency was no more a peer of prosperity than corpulency was a proof of health. Corpulency, in both cases, was indicative of disease, This ill, as well as the others, the Democratleparty pro. posed to palliate, or entirely avoid; by the adoiniou ore Christian policy of conciliation. It wished no savage e x . to/nineteen of the whole people of the South. mid they intended to strive through negotiation to reach an hoe. oreb le peace. Mr. Cox rhea entered into a loegdefena of Gen. McClellan' e military record, treeing in the work the General's progress from his birth to hie nominating for the Presidency. He cited from the report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War and. from other eoerces facts to show that_ hts Western Virginia cita paign was a glorious one: that he never amid all he vitteries ever thought of trempling on the •' revs;. nixed rights of the South" or interfering with its " in stitutions." -Mr Cox complained that his Peale:teak campaign wad interfered with and rendered _abor tive by,the President • and - - nic—Cableet, who were afaid that his successes might render him too popular when he became the -Demo cratic candidate for the next Presidency. -But even after all their Joint-tics towards him, when Pope loot himself in the Valley, and only found Washington be canto Stonewall Jackson drove him in that particular direction; when Washington was really endangered, Halleet called on McClellan for his military ability and experience "to cave the city" and theemrcasses of the office-holders within it. He saved it by the - splendid victories of South Mountain and Antietam, and received from the President his frantic thanks and the wish that God might bless him and "all with him. " Bat he was removed when the danger was over: and now, instead of lei ersin gs, that same President asks carsea for him and "all with bine " Bat on Meath of November the people would again call him to save-Washington and save the country, and they would never remove him, for Geor ge B. McClellan, the next President of the United Statue was in very word and deed the people's friend. [Pro longed applause.] Mr. Cox was succeeded by Hon. Mr. Stiles, member of Congress, in a short speech, after which the meenne adjourned. A GREAT DAY IN BORDENTII9WIM PARADE AND MASS =semis. eYeaterday was a gala day in Bordentown. The Union. loving citizens of that place turned out in theirstrength, determined to show to the Opposition that they were still hard at work in the great cause. The demonstra tion consisted of a parade and mass meeting. The pa rade started on its line of march at about half past 3 o'clock, and marched through the principal streets. It consisted of about one thousand horsemen and an im mense train of 'wagons and carriages. At the head of the line were a number of ladles on horseback, dreSsfai in grey colors, principally red, white, and- blur; thee followed the , b.orsemen. There were several banners with mottoes. One was - Weevant peace. bat not the peace that hypocrite: and traitors would give us.. They have seduced my pecple by crying peace, pewit when there is no peace.' —Eztkiel. The Union, the whole Union, and nothing but the Union. Our fathers lett it to us, we will leave it to our children unbroken forever. " ' • Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and. we Will add New Jersey to the list next Tnesday." A wagon plied high with dry goods boxes, with the words, ' •Ilow McClellan was to be elected." The boxes weie marked, '" Fraudulent army yotes for Mc- Clellan." - . . A wagon with a boat on it was also in the line. On the Bost were the words ' • Gunboat Galena. Robert. I will norbart you." A cannon on hoard was fired at intervals. The parade was the largest ever seen in Bordentown. It was more than a mile in length, and was greeted with enthusiasm along the whole line of march. After the parade had marched through the Principal streets, it assembled with a large member of citizens in a lot where a stand for the purpose had bean erected, and a meeting was begun. Mr. Hutchinson culled the meeting to order, and air. R. Van Renwick was chosen president. Upon teeing tne chair, he thanked the audience for the honor am forced, and. stated that he entertained. the same sena meats expressed by him at a meeting held in that plate at the fait of Sampter: He still was determined to shied by the Government and the Administration. This demonstration was a greateuccess. The question had been asked, were there any Union men in New Jersey r and. he. a amend it by saying that we had them by tha am e • There were acres hero this afternoon. /lc knew that the State would do its duty on Tuesday next, and that Abraham Linculn and Andy Johnson would be the text President and Vice President of the United States. Ron. Horace Maynard. of Tennessee, was introduced by the president. He said: I should be doing injustice to my own feelings if I did not thank you that you have favored me with your presence to-day. Your State is a great hiatoric State. It figures More conspicuontly than any of the other thirteen, and it devolves upon you to show whether yen are worthy of the. E. 4 1 •01 Viet aelet nou. Ws are 'fighting now the great battle for freedom; civil and personal, and spinet the same element that our fathers fought against. The. questioa is, whether man shall govern himself or by an outside power. The Tories of the Revolution were not the ignoble people we sometimes consider them. They were the Brat families of the day. That same element is the great partyagainst our Government at the present day. 'There are many who are tired of comiar before the .people periodically to ask the people to pat them into place. The maxim that they have is that capital ehail own labor, net black labor merely, but all labor. Another maxim is that cotton is king which implied that they who own the cotton lands were to have imperial sway over the whole conatry. They meant the destruction of our nation, and out of the wreck they would take the slave States, and trust to future events to add Mex'co, Cuba, and Spain—a great Central American ' power. A mon archy it would be, . with lords, connee viscounts. Sm.,.supported by four millions of slaves, and the rest of the white race was to be pat ignomi niously one of eight. Suppose you let them go. Do yon think one re ptnre would be all? No. The Welt Weald divide from the East; the Allegheny moantaine Would be one barrier, the Hudson river Would ba an other. So we would go on; the results would be bor der Wars, eollegee burnt down, echoon destroyed. churches laid waste; all your good things, that make us a happy people, would be gone. A Richmond paper not long ago said is was a distinct reaction against the civilization of the age, and the result will be that year national name will perish and the civilization of the eontment will disappear, and. ten centuries to coins I will not beild it up again. Such is the n - tare of the contest; such the question we are attempting to ethic. Cowards as we may be, W 3 mart settle ill one way or the other, and that forever. It wilt be settled to our honor, or to our everlasting in famy. There are three centres of pewer. I know yon look with prideupon that banner, [pointing to the 04: it is my prayer night and. morning that it may continue to wave over tut as a free people. [Applause.] One centre is Washinton, another is Richrooed, wlisre the pirate lbw of rebellion floats—the other is Chicano. [Laughter.] Washington. Richmond, (bunko!: I have looked at your procession with a feeling of patriotic fervor: Everything I see betokens; a Mete appreciation of the honor of our country. The motto, — The Union bat ded to IV. by our tathere we will transmit it to oar ehirdren."—everything about the precession is inspiriting,. and will make the child feel mud that he is an Amerman boy. They of Chicago had tanners and mottoes and to what did they appeal? Was it not to the lowed passions of our mieute, c era lople g the worst mellow , that bud. in the human soul? Look a little further. Richmond. with arm• in its hands, is Making fierce Warsupon Washington ;C nicago is makit g war upon Wes hington ; both are eghting West'. ington and Washington he righting them. Yownever hear from Richmond an unkind word against Chicago; Chi . ettgo has no unkind word to say against Richmond; Richmond looks for its success in the success of Chi cue. They look for the remit of neat Tneeday's elec tion with more interest than to any military movement. Chicago looks at the success of Richmond as their suc cess. It is not necessary to go into an argument to show Irby tbe influences at Chicago and Richmond-are but co-operating forces. at war with tho Government. Yoe see them. If we are for oar coantry, and intend to up bold our Government, we know that that is not to be done by pursuing a course 0 acgives candor t aud satis faction to an enemy who seeks our overthrow. One hundred cities claim the berth of Homer. Three States Maim the man Illio waspromulgated at Chipego—Ohio, Pennsylvania. and New Jersey, It is enouch to know that the men who are seeking to elect him are not the friends of the country. Every nue- My of the country will give his eupport to that candi date. Every guerilla. bushwhacker, and rebel would, if they could, vote for the Chicago nominee. It may be his Malt, or It may not. The enemies of the country are not my friends, and that is enough to determine me where I must give my support If any here think he is a great general, a statesman of right, experience, sad. skill, I'll not controvert that point * It is enmeth to know that be is in bad company, and is representing a cause hostile to my Country. How ie st with his cam ped' or ? I have never been in tattle, bat I always thought that the soldier followed the flag of his country without stopping to inquire whether he was able le carry it or not. Mr. Lincoln has always supported the nag of- his country. I was not of those who sense's& in the election of Mr. Lincoln, but, by my time and. labor, I need - my endeavors to secure his defeat. I be longed to a party, a most excellent party. The greatest ciMeulty that attached to it was that, on election (heeled &lac» ys Wound ourselves too small in numbers. I support : ed the party whose motto was the Constitution and the Union, and the enforcement of the laws. I sup ported Mr. John BelL The situation of oar country • has thrown me, much in contact with your President. Anhupressie n Wee sought to be inculcated in the South that Mr. Lincoln was not ontyweak, but inramouse and he was accused of wallowing iu drunkenness in the streets of Washington—au ape. baboon. smutty jester, a fool, tyrannical tyrant. Allow Me ID say that Mr. Lincoln deserves the title of Honest Abe in a way that very few people merit that honor. Mr. Pendleton'srecord lass lateen circulated in pamphlet form throughout -the country. In New York he made a speech, a few days ago, he said, In reference to a vote alleged in that pamphlet to have been cast on the 7th of July. Mr_ Pendleton told them that Congress had adjo erne& on the 4th day of July, and thrrefore he 'could not have voted. against it Tho question WWI not whotherhe voted on the 7th of July, as -the pamphlet 'alleges he voted, bne whether he ever voted for it at all. The fact is, Me. Pendleton's vote on the subject referred to was cast en the 7th of January, and by a typographical error July Is substituted. Abraham Lincoln would never take advantage of a small quibble like teen He is one of those men who, when he puts his foot down. its might,' difficult to get him to take it up again. Washington es was a great man because he was equal to the times in which he lived. Jackson was likewise a great man. James Buchanan was not a great man, Weans° he was not equal to the times in which lie lived. At the time Mr. Lincoln took his seat hecould not sum mon to his aid a single regiment of bayonets. The navy, - which was not Stolen or burned, was sent to dis tant 'teas. where it was entirely unavailable_ There were not Eft officers in the Departments who were not traitors. The population of Washington was sell more hotel.. Richmond itself did not contain more traitors.

Thank Gad that lie gave us a man for President wt o could: look trea son and traitors in the face. Look at the results. We were, at the be-sinning of his Ad ministre - lion. utterly homeless.

All . the others will be out cf sight in compel-Moe with toe first great Washington, and .the last 'great Statesman. The speaker continued at Lome length, bat owing CO . the darkness , , and. the want of lanterns, we were un . able to make any farther report. He. was followed by Bon. W.
