THE TRIBUNE ON GENERAL
MoOLELLAN.
Until the reception of Saturday's
New York Tribune, its course in relation
to General McClellan was altogether in
comprehensible to us ; but that detest
title sheet, after being hard pressed for
a reason for its villainous slanders upon
the MajorGeneirid, among other equal
ly contemptibleinsinuations, says :
"lgtait lwe Wallin) be. assured of is
that, if 1te,0011 1 4 19-morroty order an ad
vance-aist would crush the rebellion at
a blow, w.tiltitiquii not hesitate on the re
flection thathe would-be likely to Kill sev
eral th ousand good voters, whom he
might need in 1864 when he runs for Pre
sident as • .thecandidate> of the reunited
and reinvigorated Sham Democracy."
This is from the leading abolition pa
per inlthe eotuttry, and in reply to the
New Y...rk limes, a Republican paper,
of mu:tonal proclivities. The reader can
here observe,the tactics of the Tribune
and its followers"; the fear of McClellan
being so protpinent, in 1864, as to inter_
fere witlrthri - sobeines of the extreme
• Abolition emancipationists, is what'isalli
down upon`hiin this daily abuse. For
prospective partisanpurposes this vile
monster, - Tribune editor, has not only
hinted at disloyalti in the Major Gener ,
al of out for es, but the cowardly scoun
drel has intimated that there -existed
-too much.-faith in him by the govern
ment, itself. Yet, this profligacy is cal
led thrkfreedom of the press; and the
papers'wirich have been most forward in
abusing this freedom, are conducted by
just such "Tilly livered" poltroons as the
Tribune editor, who from the commence
ment of the rebellion, until the present,
has been engaged in undermining the
standing of all those in authority, who
stood firm in their determination to re,.
silt the efforts of the Abolitionists, to
convert the war from its original pur
poses:— That pestilent sheet and its
echoes throughout the country desire
no Union, save one of their own ore&
tion ; and every officer who has been
prominent in the service, since the war
began who did not like the Tribune's
side of the subject, has been the object
of shameful calumny by that atrocious
libeller. - Until the veteran Scott retir
ed in last November, he was the target
of that paper and its satellites ; their
sneers against his policy, and their in
quiries "why he don't move his army ?"
were precisely those now aimed at his
successor. Gen. Hallecia, then, because
of his Order excluding negro spies from
_within 'hie lines, next came in for aboli
, " tion slander; and Gen. Thomas, because
of his Virginia birth, next suffered de
--'
,
traction from these vipers, until success
rendenahina invulnerable to their as.
sauna. Gen. CF. Smith, who so gal.-
tautly led the charge the other day, at
- the lower end of the fortifications at
Fort Donehsonr and was first inside of
the rebel fortifications, he too, was the
object of abolition slander. Not a sin
-gle officer of any importance, whatever,.
has ,- Ottafitt:lhe malignity of these
vampires, except Fremont and Lane,
and they are, in Abolition estimation,
demigods, not for anything either has
ever accomplished, but because of their
Abolition theories. But, the officers as
sailed May now defy further calumny ;
they hive won consideration by the per
- formance of heroic deeds, while the Ma
jor General,-self reliant and patient, de
fies theingentlity of malicious censure.
He is so firmly fixed in the confidence
of the Administration and the army
that he may rest secure.
On the,22 in Washington, an exhi
bition of . the General's standing was
shown in a most remarkable manner.
After the farewell was read to an audi
ence in the Senate Chamber, the like of
which was never before seen in our
Capital, composed of Senators, members,
officers and ladies—where old and new
dynasties Commingled, the representa
tive of a Napoleon, and the Prince de
Joinville upon an equal level with our
American Democrats—there, in that
magnificent presence, as soon as the
- ceremony of the day was over, a voice
in the gallery shouted three cheers
for Geo. B. M'Clellan. The report con
tinues that ;.the cheers were given, and
with the applause ringing in his ears,
the young commander passed from the
Hall, followed by his brave and hand
some retinue.

--Be-NOMINATION OF GOV.
13PBAG17E
Amid all the changes and convulsions
of the times, it is consoling to see at least
one time honored political association
keeping its eye steadily fixed upon the
polar star of the Nation—the Constitu
tion. The Democracy of little Rhode
Island assembled at Providence and re
nominated Gov. Sprague by acclamation.
Oar readers remember the patriotism
and liberality of this "gentleman. When
the rebellion broke out, he raised a reg
iment immtilliately; Own / expense,
and, being the only Democratic Gover
nor in the Noithern States, he was the
only one to take the field. He did take
it, participateti in the hottest of the
battle of--Bull- Bun, where he and his
commancr l- larivered themselves with
glory.
The Conventiml.„7 , 49ll .re•nominated
Gov. Sprague — . resolved that it was the
duty of the DealitkriteYto sustain the
govertunent in its efforts"to crush the
rebellion, so long as rebellion lasts. It
next resolved in favor of Securing to
adopted citizens their just rights in the
State, because of the unanimity and
alacrity with which they rushed to the
defense of the Union. The next is in

From the National Intelligencer.
OBJECT OF THE WAR
The subjoined letter, (the initial num
ber of a brief series,) from the pen of a
Public man well known to the whole
country, and who in the present, crisis
has signalized his devotion to the cause
of the Union, was originally sent to us
for insertion without the signature of
the writer. Though desiring, from con
siderations of modesty, to write anony
mously, he was induced, at our request,
to attach his name to these letters, and
thus give to them the weight of his au ,
thority.
LE CTER NO. 1
lo Abraham Lincoln, President or' ;h
United States
RESPECTED SIR ; Ido not address you
for the purpose of censure or advice.
From boyhood to old age I have belong
ed to the Democratic party of the coun
try. My political creed, in common
with that of my party throughout the
North, has been and now is devotion to
the Constitution as it came from the
hands of Washington and his compa
triots, and to the rights of the States re
served by them on the adoption of that
instrument.
We look upon thestructurecompo, (1
of the States and Union E.s our temple
of liberty, of which the States are the
pillars and the Union the roof. Re
move the pillars and the roof will tall;
remove the roof and the pillars will be
overthrown by thestorms of anarchy and
war, and our country will be strewed
with ruins more melancholy than those
which lie prostrate or stand shattered
on the sites of ancient cities.
Ruthless hands have seized upon and
are attempting to remove a portion of
the pillars of our temple, at the hazard
of crushing themselves and us in It.
fall, and in the insane hope of building
a new temple for themselves out of the
ruins.
Though the Democratic party of the
North were always willing to make all
reasonable or even tolerable concessions
to satisfy their allies in the Sou' h, yet,
as a body, no party is more devoted to
the Constitution and the Union. It was
devotion to the Union which induced
them to make concession after conces
sion to quiet the apparent apprehensions
of their Southern friends. So vital in
their view was the preservation of the
Union and the Constitution to the in
terests and safety of the Southern States
in particular, that many of them could
not, until the assault of Fort Sumter,
be convinced that the leaders of the
Southern agi'ation had any thing in
view beyond further guarantees for their
local institutions. Under this delusion
some of them raised their voices against
coercion, and thereby unwittingly ren
dered material service to the cause of.
rebellion. But when convinced, by the
thunder of the rebel cannon and the
flames of Fort Sumter, that revolution,
and not redress or security within the
Union, was the object of the southern
leaders, they did all that honest men
could do to retrieve their error, and,
notwithstanding their political antag
onism on minor points, the Democratic
party of the North rallied around your
Administration as the only means of
saving their country. Your armies
abound with them; none are more ready
to sacrifice all that is dear, even life it
self, for the preservation of the Union
and the Constitution, and to them it is
cheering, though but just, that you
have recently given them a representa
tive in your Cabinet.
Be assured, sir, that the Democratic
party of the North, with the exception
of a few semi-traitors whom they repu•
diate, cordially approve the objects of
the war against rebellion as declared
by you in all your public avowals.
They rally around you with a devotion
to the cause not exceeded by any class
of your original supporters, and they
will spare no sacrifice to save the Union
and the Constitution. In this great ob.
jeot they are already consolidated
with the great mass of the Republican
party; and will be among the last to
despair. Indeed, these two parties from
all present purposes constitute but one,
which may appropriately called the Con
stitutional Union party. The object of
this party in the pending war is to pre
serve the Union and the Constitution as
ii is It is the Constitution, and that only,
which makes us a nation ; destroy it and
the nation will cease to exist, being re
solved into thirty-faar independent
States. In fighting for the Constitution,
therefore, we fight for the life of the
nation, for all that can give us peace and
security at home and all that can make
us honored Cr respected abroad.
The fundamental lirinaple of our
Government, that principle which has
enabled the Republic to extend itself
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
endovied it with a capacity tD embrace
continents and climes within its domin
ion, is that everything which relates
exclusively or mainly to local attain
shall be only such as are requisite to ,
promote the peace, happiness and pros
perity
of the people, whatever may be 1
their peouliar.oostoms, laws or domestic
institutions. An httaok' upon this pria
cipiedean assault uporrthe Constitution ;
it is undennin thefoupth Qf the
Republic , it is divesting it of that et t'
GO , . 21=w:it of Heaven, protedts alike
err and truth, allowing man to work
out his own happiness in peace Jo the
free exercise cf his own powers.'
But we have a class of men among us
who ere not content with such a govern
ment. They are not content with the
privilege of shaping the laws and insti
tutions of the States in which they live
according to their own sense of right
and expediency, but wish to compel
other men and other communities, over
w,.ose local itflairs they have no rightful
control, to adopt their notions, and,
utterly regardless of essential differences
of circumstances, remodel all local in
stitutions by their procrustean standard.
And by a concerted effort these men
are attempting to divert the military
power of the country from its legitimate
object, the preservation of the Constitu
tion in its integrity, and direct it to the
subversion of the fundamental principle
on which it is based. Such a scheme is
virtually a conspiracy against the Con.
stitution and the Union in the North,
giving effective aid to the rebellion in
the South: It would present the loyal
States to other nations, not, as at pres
ent, defending an established govern
ment against wanton rebellion, but as
themselves rebels against the very government
they profess to be defending. It would cast
the North also on the stormy ocean of
revolution, not fighting for any existing
government, but for such a one as may
rise out of the waves—it may be many
warring States or Confederacies, or a
military despotism based on conquest,
and swallowing up the whole.
In another letter I shall endeavor
more fully to expose the danger and
the folly of all such schemes.
AMOS KENDALL.

Fraternizing
The Union and rebel officers harmo
nize very welt, socially, and pass the
time pleasantly in conversation, and
what would seem strange at first thought,
discuss the question of slavery with
amiability and suavity, and often agree
almost entirely in opinion. Many of
the enemy's ne,cessaly expenses have
been generously anticipated and defray
ed by then deadly enemies of last week,
and the beuetitted parties seem to be
duly grateful.
The Scene Alter the Surrender.
r The spectacle presented as our troops
enttied the place was one to which no
description can do justice. As our fleet
of transports, preceded by the gunboats,
moved slowly up toward the fort, the
rebel soldiers collected in groups and
squads, and gazed on them in apparent
wonder. Their appearance was gro
tesque in the extreme. Without uni
formity in dress, few of them wore any
thing that could be called a uniform,
unless it were a white striped blanket,
worn in the Indian fashion, enveloping
nearly tile whole person. Large
numbers of them, instead of blank
ets, wore large pieces of carpeting in
the form of a blanket, These, I learn
ed, were the soldiers who ran away from
Fort Henry in such extreme haste that
they left their coats behind. Such was
the sympathy of the rebel ladies in this
region on account of their coatleas con
dition, that, having previously given all
their blankets, they tore up their car
pets and out them into blankets for
their soldiers.
I have had large opportunities to
day for observing the intercourse be
tween our soldiers and those of the
rebels, and the results of such observa
tions are gratifying in the highest de
gree. Our artillery upon entering the
fort fired a salute; our army did some
cheering, and our band played the Star
Spangled Banner, the Red, White and
Blue, ;and some other national airs
But, in a whole day's walk about the

al feelings ofa fallen enemy. Indeed, it
various colored blankets and those in
blue overcoats were enemies, or that these
were prisoners and those *itors, so
considerately did they treat Meh other.
Many of ,our officers hate discard,

and school companions, in years gone by.

but they have now grown quite compla
cent and resigned to their fate. Buck
ner says the Federals are all abolition
ists in effect, because they are a aiding
the anti-slavery party, which is • the,
first cause of the war. He could read
ily have escaped with Pillow and Floyd,
he states,' bat he was too honorable to
do so. His men had stood by him, and
he was resolved, in the hour of adversi
ty and defeat not to abandon them.
The Most Startling Proposition of
the *sr.
The Baton Past says Charles Sumner
is doing the great work of disintegration
faster than our armies undo it and ce
ment the Union. He proposes to dis
franchise the people, take away the mu
nicipal rights of many of the rebel
States, to reduce them back to a territo
ry, and bring them under the legisla
tion of Congress. This is the most start
ling proposition ot the war. If it is
done the hopes of the Union are over.
The Unionists of the South are forever
alienated and there will be no power of
arms to reclaim them. Macauley said
that he "had been convinced that insti
tutions purely democratic must, sooner
or later, destroy liberty or civilization,
or both." It this be good philosophy,
who comeathe nearest to being the di
rect agent for the destruction of liberty
in the United States—the secessionist or
the disintegrationist ? the man who
would simply liivide the Union, or the
man who would go to the foundations
and destroy them f This demagogue ot
a Senator, canting about the tyranny
and the barbarism ot the South, at a
time like this, when all there is loyal in
the South is dearer than ever befpre to
the North, is but adding fuel to the
flame—is but adding more lives to the
holy cause—is lengthening this terrible
struggle.

AMERICAN WATCHES
FOR AMERICANS.
No more Eng . ish or French rub
bish, made to sell, but not to
keep time.
WILY SHOULD AN AMERICAN
• buy a foreign Watch, when he can get a
better one at home?
Wby thou d an American needlessly enrich
foreign Watch manufacturers of the expense of
our own artisans ?
Why should an American send gold to England
and Fr.nce, our oovert but hitter enemies, when
gold is so much needed at home?
Why should an American buy an imported
Watch, which, In nine cases out of ten, will cost
more to keep In order for one year, than tie
original price, at d which Was never intended tp
keep time under any circumstances?
Why stioald Americans not patronize more gen
erally American manufactures, and thus emanci
pate themselves from the thraldom of Edighsh
capital, French fashions nnd Couunental gew.
gaws t
The American Watch Company's Watches are
particularly adapted for soldier's use, being most
substanually made, and not liable to get out of
order, either in marching riding or fig nuna.
Bold by all respectable Jewellers in the loyal
