M CLELLAN'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
Strategy: has always been a favorite
ecience with Gen. M'Clellan, in bis military
Operations. His letter of acceptance, which
vre print in another column, clearly demon
strates the fact that he is attempting to use
it also in the political campaign Which has
been fully opened by his nomination at Chi
cago. The platform adopted there distinct
ly declares that "the experiment of war to
restore the Union hts been a failure," and
demands that "immediate efforts be made
for a cessation of hostilities." These are
the most distinctive characteristics of the
Chicago structure. These are the points
upon which the people have a riftht to know
precisely what the nominee thinks and is
prepared to do ; and a candidate of thoi ough
manhood would have met them with an un
equivocal assent or dL-seut. This Gen. Mc
Clellan studiously avoids in his letter of ac
ceptance. With a bold front he fights shy
of the main issue presented. Instead of at
tacking it directly, he goes to digging in the
6 amps of unmeaning generalities and to
throwing up breastworks of ambiguous phra
seology. Whilst talking about "the opera
tion of a more vigorous nationality" and of
"preserving the Union at all hazards," he
at the same time indulges in the declaration
that "the Union was originally formed by
the exercise of a spirit of conciliation and
compromise1" and "to restore and preserve
it the same spirit must prevail in our coun
cils and in the hearts of our people." In
one breath he intimates that "the existence
of more than one government" cannot here
be tolerated, and in another he declares that
the war has not leen carried on for "the a
vowed object for which it was commenced."
Now, what does all this mean? Is 'Mac'
for War, or is he for Peace? Is not his let
ter, when considered in all its bearings, a
palpable attempt to flank the questions
which bear directly upon the welfare of the
country, and to wheedle into Lis support
both wings of the Democracy? It is quite
evident that the aim throughout is to give
no offence to any portion of his party ; but
what is worse, there is not a syllable, from
one end of his letter to the other, derogato
ry of the "Confederates" not a word of
condemnation of the Rebels on the contra
ry they are very respectfully styled "our
present adversaries," and whatever of op
probrium he has to utter,is expressed against
our own Government as now administered!
In this latter respect the letter accords well
with the platform. If the meaning were clear
ly set forth in words, it wuld probably in oth
ers also, for 'Mac' says, near the conclusion of
his letter, that he accepts the nomination
"believing that the views he has expressed
are those of the Convention." When he
penned that sentence he knew, as did every
reader of the current news of the day, that
the Convention was controlled by Vallandig
ham, the Seymours, the Woods, and other
Peace brawlers, llow, then, are we to re
concile some of Eis utterances with his ac
ceptance of a nomination made by such men?
The conviction involuntarily forces itself up
on one's mind that Gen. M'Clellan and Sey
mour, Wood & Co. "understand each other
fully, and that they are playing a "confi
dence game," by which everybody else is to be
cheated and they Jointly benefitted. ; Wheth
er they will succeed of not, remains to be
seen. For our own part, we have no doubt
of the result. We have an abiding faith in
the intelligence and patriotism of the peo
ple that at the election in November they
will go toth pollj and re-elect Abraham
Liocola u PreeUsjDt of .th United State
MoCLELLAN AND THE DEAFT.
If there is any one thing which has made
the Copperheads howl loader than another,
it is the draft. It has ever met with their
.FtropgrojTpositiop thifrjiitterest denun-
"ciations, and their most -withering anathe-j
mas." ,-The great judicial lights ot their par-
ty Lbwrie and Woodward pronounced it 1
. ..- ' m . - ' .1
unconstitutional, and forthwith all the small
fry took their cue; and in our own county
especially, its resistance has been advised
and threatened, even to the "bitter end."
These indignant and alarmed Cops will
doubtless, be somewhat surprised to ; find,
that their candidate for President, Major
Gen. George Bbinton McClellan, was
the first man during the progress of this
war to recommend end advise the "uncon
stitutionar' draft. His letter to the Presi
dent, proposing the draft, is as follows :
"Washington, August 20, 1S61.
"Sir I have just received the enclosed
dispatch in cipher. Colonel Marcy knows
what he says, and is of the coolest judgment.
I recommend that th Secretary of War as
certain at once by telegram how the enrol
ment proceeds in New York and elsewhere,
a-id that, if it is not proceeding with great
rapidity, drafts to be made at once. We
must have men without delay.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
George B. McClellan,
Major General U. S. A."
The following :s a copy of the urgent note
of General Marcy, his father-in-law and
chief of staff.
New York, August 20. 1S61.
"I urge upon you to make a positive and
unconditional demand for an immediate
draft of. the additional troops you require.
Men will not volunteer now, and drafting s
the only successful plan. The "people will
applaud ttch a course, rely upon it. I will
be in Washington to-morrow.
R. B. Marct."
Notwithstanding the high source of this
recommendation or "unconditional ; de
mand" in the words of Col. Marcy the.Pre
sidentdid not at that time resort to the draft
because men were volunteering so rapidly
that it was unnecessary, and the Secretary
of War was enabled to report to Congress
an army of nearly seven hundred thousand
fully armed and equipped, and iu the field.
The whole army of Gen. McClellan, consist
ing of one hundred and fifty thousand men,
were volunteers. So were all the troops
that filled up that broken, shattered, and
dispirited army after the disas erous' fail
ure of his Peninsular campaign. Yet at
that time, when it was entirely unnecessary,
McClellan unhesitatingly and unequivocally
placed himself on the record as in favor of a
draft. He had then no doubt about its
"constitutionality," and no sympathy with
his brother copperheads who now shrink so
nervously from its "unrelenting grasp."
GEN. GRANT ON THE WAR.
Washington r eptember S. The follow
ing letter, written by General Grant to lion.
Mr. Washburne, bhould be printed in letters
of gold. It gives not only an encouraging
view of the military situation, but is a most
effective crgument for a vigorous prosecu
tion of the war and the re-election of the
present Administration, which is alone
pledged to such a course. No higher au
thority in military matters can be consulted,
and when such a statement is made of our
good prospects, should not one more upris
ing of the North take place?
II'drs Armies of United States, )
City Point, Va, Aug. 16, 1664,
To Hon. K. Ji. Washburne :
Dear Sir I state to ail citizens who vis
it me that all we want now to insure an ear
ly restoration of the Union is a determine J
unity of sentiment North. '1 he rebels have
now in their ranks their last man. The lit
tle boys and old men are guarding prisoners,
guarding railroad bridges, and forming a
good part of their garrisons for intre-iched
positions. A man lost by them' cannot be
replaced. They have robbed the cradle and
the grave equally to get their present force.
Besides what they lose in the frequent skir
mishes and battles, they are now loing
from desertions and other causes at least one
regiment per day.
With this drain upon them the end is not
far distant if we will only be true to our
selves. Their only hope now is in a divided
North. This might , give them reinforce
ments from Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland
and Missouri, while it would weaken us.
With the dra t quickly enforced the enemy
would become despondent, and would make
but little resistance. I have no doubt but
the enemy are exceedingly anxious to hold
out untill after the Presidential election.
They have many hopes from it effects.
They hope a counter revolution ; they
hope the election of the Peace candidate.
In fact, like, "Micawber," they hope for
something to "turn up." Our Peace friends,
if they expect peace from separation, are
much mistaken. It would be but the be
ginning of war with thousands of Northern
men joining the South because of our dis
grace in allowing separation. To have
"reaee on anv tenua" the South would A.
mand the restoration of their slaves already !

THE ELECTION IN VERMONT.
ANOTHER UNION VICTORY.
The Green Mountains respond to Atlanta.
At the election which took place at Ver
mont on the 6th inst, Smith, Union candi
date for Governor, was elected by a majori
ty of about 15,000 an increase of about
2,000. Thus Vermont responds gloriously
to the Yictory achieved by Gen. Sherman at
Atlanta. Keep the ball rolling, and Cop
perheadism will scarcely b heard of by the
ide of Norm V? . .
SEOBETABY SEWABD'S SPEECH. .
Hon. Win. A. Seward, made a speech at
Auburn, New York, on Saturday evening,.
September the 3rd, in which he 'pre. ents
"our National situation in a very lucid man
ner, "and urges the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln as the only; salvation of the United
States. It is destitute of all political soph-
iitrY an(j DUt3 the issue of Union or Dirtinl-
on squarely before the American people.
Mr. Seward takes the ground that to fail
to re-elect Abrah; m Lincoln, President of
the United States, would be a justification
of the Rebellion, inasmuch as it woul i be
an admission that a majority of the people
had done in 1860 what the usurpers of the
South had been right in repudiating thr.t
to fail in making Mr. Lincoln our President
for another term rvould be an admission that
the day had passed in this country when the
majority must rule, or the decision of the
majority must be respected In Mexico
Jaurez had been constitutionally electedby
a majority of the people, and the minority
had undertaken to disregard the decision by
f rebelling against the Government, an I had
succeeded in doing what the Jeff. Davis
rebels are trying to do in procuring the in
terference of an usurper. If we permit the
action of the majority of the American
people to be trampled under foot as -the
rebels had attempted, then our Republic
must be rui ed. The war had been, on
our part, to fight the President of the
popular majority's election into his seat and
to surround him with the security and pro
tection which becomes the head of a free
people ; and that object cannot be said to
have been attained until we shell have
crushed the usurper of ou.- liberties. To
throw aside Mr. Lincoln under such circum
stances would be to admijt, the justice of the
Rebellion and the impropriety of the war
and the maintenance of the integrity, and
permanence of the Government of the Uni
ted States. Besides all this, into what con
dition would the country be thrown should
the nominee of the Chicago Convention be
elected I 'resident? The answer to this ques
tion must be arrived at by considering that
the whole action of the Chicago Convention
was planned and contracted for by Rebel a
gents of the Richmond usurper on the neu
tral ground of Canada. The unnatural in
consistency of proposing a cessation of hos
tilities on the heel of decisive nuvaj and
land battles, at the very moment that the
rebellion is crumbling to the earth is ably
eetfor.hin the speech. In regard to the
objections to the draft, the Secretary adopts
an illustration which makes the matter plain
that of a ship which has been scutUedarid
the captain leaving the sleeping passengers
to go to the bottom instead of waking them
up and calling upon tliera to take ti eir turn
at the puiup. This is all the argument in
favor of the order for the draft that reason
able men need. It contains the philosophy
of our case exactly. " The complaint that the
President will not accept peace on the basis
of the integrity of the Union, without hav
ing also the abandonment of Slavery, is
curtly and powerfully answered by theques
tion: "When and where have the insurgents
offered him peace on the basis of the integ
rity of the Union?" In reference to the
question of Slavery Mr. Seward says : "While
the rebels continue to wage war against the
Government of the United States, the mili
tary measures affecting Slavery, which have
been adopted from necessity, to bring the
war to a speedy and successful end, will be
continued, except so far as practical experi
ence shall show that they can be modified
advantageously to the same end. When the
insurgents have disbanded their armies, and
laid down their arms, the war will instantly
cease and all the war measures then exis
ting, including ..those which affect slavery,
will cease also, and all the moral, economical
and political questions, as well question
affecting slavery as others which shall then
be existing, between individuals, and States,
and the Federal Government, whether they
arose before the Civil War began, or wheth
er thev grew out of it, will, by the force of
the '-Constitution, pass over to the abitra
ment of the courts of law, and to the coun
cils of legislation. " Thus, Mr. Seward plain
ly indicates that the Administration is ready
to receive propositions of peace, so soon as
the rebels are willing to submit to the au
thority of the Constitution of the United
States, and are ready to be governed under
the laws made in pursuance thereof. To ail
of which the people will give a hearty as
sent. Very Obliging Indeed.
At one of the meetings in Chicago during
the sitting of the convention, an Irishman
named Mahoney delivered a speech in front
C . 1 o I tt - t-it , ,
01 uie onernian iiouse in wnicn ne used the
following language : "I want peace, and I
would go to the South and offer them the
Constitution as it was, altered and modified
to suit them!"
American citizens, what do you think of
this Irishman's proposition ? What do you
think the South and this Irishman would
propose? The cry is no longer "the Con
stitution as it is," but the Costitution "al
tered to suit the South"
The enemy used to fifcht "Little Mac"
with Qunker guns. We suppose the order
will now be reversed, and "Little Mac" will
fight with Quaker guns, since he has been
placed on a peace platform.
Hon. Lewis Cass has pronounced the Chi
cago platform "a most ignominious sur
rndT to the rebels and cannot Nippon k."
McCLELLAN'3 WEAKNESS.
One of the great features of the coming
campaign will be the attempt of the "Peace
at-any-price' party to bolster up the mili
tary reputation of their standard-bearer,
so as to make him a. ceptable to hosts of
War Democrats, if possible. We" have al-way..beiieved-IcCXELLAN
to be an incom
petent officer,, merely .by compacingliis work
with that of-his successors. -The.fo.lowing
letter will set at rest all controversy on the
subject, because of the weight of evidence
and the impracticability of de-ual. Excu
ses for such conduct should not be listened
to by any American. Wr lvive always been
taught that a U. State officer never knows
when he is whipped, and never surrenders
until he is bound hand and foot by his foe,
and unable to fight any more. Here is a
piece of the military history of the culmiua
tor ot Montcalm :
BEFORE ANTIETAM.
WAsm.N'GTON. September 2.
To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph :
Sir: I am informed t bat General George
B. McClellan has resigned his commission
as Major-General in the Regular Army, and
I am at liberty to make public the following
statement touching his character as an offi
cer: In the summer of 1862 I was near the
head-quarters of the Guneral-in-chief. He
was sitting on a camp-stool in front of his
marquee, and with his head in his hands,
he remarked: "Lee is a great man a great
General a very great General !" His tone
was most despondent, and was caused by
the news of Jackson's raid up the Shenan
dcah valley. A similar movement in these
later days does not seem to make General
Grant unhappy.
Later, durinu the same summer, I was at
Harrison's Landing with the Federal army,
and obtained the following facts from a stall
officer, and one of the ablest an 1 most dis
tinguished judges New York State ever pro
duced, who, I believe, was an ye-witness
of most he related. While our army was
mowing down the Rebels at Malvern Hill,
as they came up to our guns fourlines deep.
General McClellan went on board of the
iron-clad Galena with a proposal in his po
session to surrender the Amvj o f the I'otomac
to General Lee. Com. Rodgers r?moutra
ted with him, and begged to be allowed to
pass up the river an 1 take a position to de
fend the army until tlie will of the Presi
dent cou d be obtained.
After much entreaty General McClellan
sent a courier to Fortress M nr e, and tele
graphed his intention to Washington in ci
pher, which he said seemed absolutely ne
cessary in a military sense. The President
answered promptly that the Army must not
be surrendered in any event death aiid de
struction were better, and sent this ainwer
by General Halleck to Harrison's Landing.
The sequel is known.
Now, sir, I challenge a denial of this mat
ter, and it cannot be made in a s itisfaetory
way. The facts will descend to posterity to
prove General. McClellan. to haveV been a'
weak and incoui'etent American General,
and to be incompetent, and yet assume the
rank of a General, has been set down by the
highest military aut ority as equal, if nor
worse, than treason per se.
I am, Kir, with great respect your obe
diant servant, A Virginian.
A PROPHECY FROM RICHMOND.
The Richmond Examiner the home or
gan of Jeff. Davis, in its iue of August
31st, has a long editorial from which .we
take the following extract, which, deserves
the earnest attention of every reader.
"If Atlanta were to f-ilLor Petersburg, or
"if Sheridan sho lid drive Early back to
"Lynchburg, or if any one of these events
"should befall, then all the peace rinciples
"and peace Pseiident of Chicago mould be
"at the election next Nocemher where last
''year's snoic is. and lost night's nutonshine.
" War, for another Presidential term, would
"mceep away every vestige of opposition"
Bv one of those startling coincidences
that have so often fallen upon us during the
war, the very first event in the direful chain
that is to fetter the Chicago nominee and
drag him to perdition, has occurred. In
the brief space between the printing of the
prophecy and its receipt, the glorious news
has flashed across the wires, and lit u-' with
a new flame of devotion every loya heart
and home "Atlauta has fallen.' There is
something deep- r than amusing speculation
in the Examiner s editorial. Whatever
may be said of Southern leaders, no one can
question their forecast and sagacity iu polit
ical concerns. These enabled them, until
their mad revolt, to govern the nation, and
these lay at the root of the challen.ee, "Have
they not governed it well?" They did gov
ern well in the interest of slavery, and
its mean, cringing mercenaries, the North
ern Democrats, who licked the hand that
struck them in one hour, provided it flung
them the spoils in the next. It is now pla
ced on record by one of th ablest of the
Southern watchers of the game, that there
is no hope for ths Chic igo can lilate ; ani
we commend this prophetic opinion to the
great political party which has always de
rived its inspiration from, and obeyed the
monitions of, the whippers-in, now tremb
lingly crouching in the last ditch of Rich
mond. In Memoriam.
What the Great Democrat, Douglas, said
at the outbreak ot the war has peculiar sig
nificance now. We command his weighty
testimony to Democrats of the present
hour :
" The slave question is a mere excuse. Tlie
election of Lincoln is a mere pretext. The
present t-ecession movement is the result of j
an enormous conspiracy, formed more than j
ayearsince formed by leaders in the South-1
ern Confederacy more than twelve .months !
ago. The conspiracy is now known ; armies ;
have been raised, war is levied to arnim.
pliah it. Every man must be for the Uni-1
teu oun.es or against u. l nere can be no
neutrals in this oar : only patriots and
traitor."
THE PRESIDENCY.
- - - - f'-
Gen. M'Clellan's . Leer of 'Acceptance.
New York, Sept. 6. The following is
the letter of Geneial McClellan accepting
the Chicago nomination : .
. Orange. N. J., Sept. 8.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of vour letter, infoi m-
itig me ot'uy-iiouiinatioii by the Democrat
ic ational'Coiiveimon... recently assembled
at Chicago, as a candidate -tor -the next elec
tion for President of the United States. .-"
It is unnecessary for me to say to you that
this nomination comes to me unsought.
I am happy to know that when the nomi
nation was male, the record of my public
life was kept in view.
The effect of long and varied service in
the army, during w ir an 1 peaee have been
to strength.!! atil m.ikj iuJelible in my
mind and heart the love an 1 reverence for
the UnioH, Constitution, iaws, ani Hag of
our country impressed upon jjie iu early
youth.
These feelings have thus far jruided the
course of my iife, and must continue to do
so to itseid. y
The existence of more than one govern
ment over the region which once owned our
dag is incompatible with the peace, the
power, and the happiness of the people.
The preservation of our Union was the
sole avowed object for which the war was
commenced, and it should have been coiir
ducted with those principles, vlii h I -took
occa-iou to declare when iu active service.
Thus conducted, the work of reconcilia
tion would have been easy, an i we might
have reaped the benefits of our many victo
ries on land and sea.
The U ion was originally formed by the
exercise of a spirit of conciliation and com
promise, and to restore and preserve it the
same spirit mut prevail in our councils and
in the hearts of rhe people. The re-establishment
of the Union in all its integrity is,
and must continue to be, the indiipeu.slble
condition ot any settlement.
So soon as it is clear or even probable that
our present adversaries are ready for peace
upon the basis of the L'uion, we should ex
hibit all thcie tiurces of statesmanship prac
ticed by civilized latious and taught oy th-j
traditions of the American people, consis
tent with the honor and interests of the
country, to secure sut-h peace, re-establish
the Union, and guarantee tor the future the
conditional rights of every Sfate. The Un
ion is the one condition of peace and we ask
no more.
Let me a Id wh.it I doubt not was, although
unexpressed, the sentiment of the- Conven
tion, as it is of the peop.e they represent :
that when any one state is willing to leturu
to the Union it should be received at once,
with a full guarantee of all its constitutional
riuhts. If a frank, earnest, and persistent
effort to obtain those objects should fail,
the responsibility for ulterior consequences
will fail ujMn those who remain in anus a
gainst the Union, but the Union must be
preserved at ail hazards.
1 could not iook on the face of my gal
lant comrades of the army and navy, who
have" survived no many "rHttlfs,. and toil
ihem that their labors and the sacrifice of so
many of our slain and woui ded brethren
had been iu vain that we had abandoii"d
that Union for which we have so often per
iled our lives. A vast majority of our peo
ple, whether in the army or navy or at
home, would, as I would, hail with unbound
ed joy the permanent restoration of peace
on the basis of the Union under the Consti
tu:ion, without the e3'uiou of another drcp
of blood, but no peace can be permairmt
wfchoui Union.
As to the other s- bjects presf nted in the
re olutions of the Convention, I need ouiy
say that I should seek in the Constitutiov
of the United States, and the laws framed
iu accordance therewith, the rule of my du
ty and the limitations of Executive jower,
endeavor to restore economy in public ex
penditure, re-establish the supremacy of law.
and by the opeiation ot the more vigorous
nationality re umc our commanding posi
tion among the nations of the earth.
The condition of our finances, the depreci
ation of the paper money, and the burdens
thereby imposed on labor and capita', show
the necessity of a return to a sound financial
system; while the rights of cifize-.s and the
rights of States, and the binding authority
ot law over the President, the army, ard
the people, are t-ui jects ot no less vital im
portance in war than in peace.
Believing that the views here expressed
are those of the Convention and the people
you represent, I accept the nomination. 1
realize the weight of the responsibility to be
borne should the people ratify your choice.
Conscious of my own w akness, I can on
ly seek fervently the guidance of the lluler
of the Universe, and, relying on his all-powerful
aid, d my lest to re.-tore Union and
peace to a suffering people, and to establish
a guard for their liberties and rights.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your obedient servar t,
George B. McClellan.
Hon. Horatio Seymour, and others,
committee.
THE FIRST GUN FOR PEACE.
The Peace savans who met at Chicago. re
cently, promulgated the following resolve:
"Justice, humanity, liberty and the pub
lic welfare demand that immediate efforts be
made for a ces-ationof hostilities, to the end
that, at the earliest practical le moment, pe ce
mav be restored on the basis of the Federal
Union of the States."
As soon as this behest was made known.
Gen. Sherman ha-ened to bring about the
much desired wish of these u i.se men 13- at
tacking the rebel Gen Hood at East Point,
cutting bis army in two, and occupying the
city of Atlanta. Whether this mode of
procedure was in precise keeping with the
traitorous spirit of the Copperhead Conven
tion which nom'nated McClellan and Pen
d.eton, we will nt affirm ; but we opine that
Gen. Sherman has adopted a much surer
and speedier way of bringing about that
p ace which the people desire to see estab
lished, than that pursued by the Chicago sa
vans. Surely. Grant, Sherman, Farragut
& Co , are much better peace promulgators
than thtse Copperhead politicians. The
first named are practical men the latter
mere pretenders.
Of late there has bwn a growing distaste
for butter.
