I ho New York Journalof Commerce of

dency, aud says :
1. The next President ought to bo a
new man, not mixed up with Washington
politics, intrigues and plunder. This in
dicates McClellan.
2. Ho should bo a man of youth and
vigor of mind. Applies to McClellan.
"Ho will bo called upon to d.roct the pa
cification of the people, and the restora
tion to prosperity of this afflicted nation,1'
says tho Journal.
3. llo should know how to lead armies
and to achieve peaco as tho grand object
of war, as wo aro now to ehooso a man
who is to be Coinraander-in-Chiof of Ar
mies in a timo of great war. This points
straight to McClellan. Tho Journal
adds, "is thero any ono who has failed to
mourn tho ignorance of military affairs at
Washington?"
4. Let him bo a man of refined chris
tian heart. This alao applies to McClel
lan, who is a strictly conservative chris
tian man.
Tho Journal argues out all thoso points
at length, but mentions no name.

brings an account of the great fight for

which took place on the morning ofthe
10th, at Tuubridge, England. King won
in thirty-five rounds, the fight having las
tod thirty-ono minutes.
Tho London times devotes a leader to
tho affair, and also publishes a graphic
special account. It editorially says :
Ileonan was game throughout, from the
beginning to tho closo of the fight, and ho
put tho ,lhug" on so as to crush his antag
onist by dashing him to tho ground. Kings
taoties were different and moro creditable
to a professor of pugilism. They consisted
simply in striking a series of fledgo-ham-mnr
blows ou the moBt prominent and sen
sitive parts of Ilcenan's physiognomy until
the later collapsed from cxhaustatiou.
Tho affair was over in twenty four rounds
and thirtyfivo minutes, Thero appears to
havo been littlo "science" on cither sido,
but it was nevertheless, a lair stand up

Secret Organizations.
The central organ is seeing ghosts again,
and, conscience condemning it, exhibits tho
most marked trepidation. Prompted by
the devil aud its own fears, it makes the
bold assertion that tho Democrats aro or
ganizing secret societies "bound tosothcr
by tho foroo of a solemn oath to fight the
Government" and again, that the fugle
men meaning the guides or leaders of the
new order ''have aworn never to he sat
isfietl until they have destroyed every vestige
offrce government in the Stata of the
American union.
It is useless to characterize such rook-
less assertions by the epithets ihey deserve,
and by which alono they can bo succinct
ly defined, Except tho conductors of that
sheet, who havo become ho habituated to
misrepresentation aud falsehood, that they
probably credit their own fabrications, we
do,uot suppose there is an intelligent, re
spectable man in the State who will for a
moment beliovo such unfounded and im
probable charges. The editor has evi
dently been dreaming of tho proceedings
of the Union League, and by a strange
freak of memory transferred its sins to the
Dcmocratio party.
That tho Democrats have, to any con-
sitlerable extent.organized secretly, for any
purposo, is not true that they havo or
ganized at all, seorctly or openly, to 'fight

of treo government in tho States of the

By-and-byo, in tho wisdom of tho ad-
ministration, It was seen fit to divide tho ,
Army of Virginia into four parts and then
to retnoVO General McOlelhll. NoW,lliark
the result. After the olo.o of a pleasant '
summer afternoon, whon tho Army of
tho Potomac was under tho command of,
of tho Uuitediatosand General Halicok
riding down to General MeClclhin's tent,
nltrl noL'tnrr Inm if Itn tvAitwi ntftltt tnl'n
i'opc, you might havo seen tho rrcsidonf
command of tho Army of Virginia. Ho
said, "Yea, under certain conditions."
lho conditions wcro complied with, nnd,
sir, when tho news was promulgated in
camp that ho had consented to tako tho
command, tho soldiers coming back ''wan,
woru nnd weary," begged and pleaded to
bo led back to meet tho enemy, I give
names whon I quote conversation. Tho
President, in tho prosenco of lion, J, II,
W. Pago, a few evenings after that, said :
"Tho politicians tried to proveut my re
appointing General McClellan. But I
knew that his p:csonco was worth any ten
generals, if I could compress them all into
one.1' And it was. He ro-organized his
forces, and you will remember tho battlo
of Anttctam and its results. The politi
cians wcro still at work, and last autumn,
a year ago, after the administration had
been defeated in all tho principal loyal
Statos, McClellan was removed. Perhaps
the Democratic victories iu Pennsylvania
and iNew lork showed that it was neccs- j
sary to removo him. And I now say, iu I
nil sinpnritv. nnil Tlmnn Snnntnra pi II l,nn I
mo without any party feeling, that it the
telegraph wires could" to-day bring tho in

and that General Ilallcck had been ro
