never wu success as certain, victory as
sure, it' we but do our duty. The people,

change, and it but remains for us to do our
part and that change will be made. Thom

the shod‘diea of 1860, by the promise of
"better timew," “land' for the landless,”
and "homes for the homeless," now see
the design of those that lurel‘ them in
to the support of Abolitipnism. and are
taking their places in the ranks of the
good old Democracy. Every day'ndils
scores to our numbers, every day increases
our strength. We can rudcml, we wiluuccced,

BLANDEBERS O? HcCLELLAN,
WHAT DO YOU THINK
01‘ THIS?
[From the Age.)
A CUBIQD! REVELATION.
In Mr. Montgomery Blair's sneech in
New York. a law days ago, is a curious
reveletion--the more interesting in view of
the attacks now mode by the Lincoln press
on General McClell-n. as an incompetent
soldier end a disloyal man. Mr. Blair,
speaking of Gen. McClellan, mes these re
markable words. which we quote literally :
“A quondam chiefof the Federal army—
one whom to the hut I believed to be true
to the also in which his country is em
barked, nnd,l may add, whom the Piesi
dent held to be patriotic. and [ta-l concerted
with General Grant to brim; aryu'n into the field!
as In} adjunct. if he turned his bad: on the propo
sal: of the peace jumol L4l? I 510."
Now, We ask respm-tl‘uily \\lmt does thisl
mean? Mr. Blair komw tht he is talk
ing about. “Lincoln and Grant had deter
mined tocsll McCllellan back to the field—-
in other words, to give him a cmnmnnd
suited to his rank. as the senior Major Gen.
eral. superseding Meade and all the others
—if he would reject the propagate of the
Chicago Convention—that is, their nomi
nation." It can mean nothing else. In
plainer words. it' General McClellan would
end himself to a dishonorable trick upon
his friends, and accept a bribe to standout
of Mr. Lincoln’s way he should have it.
and be again put in command. This needs
some'further light from Mr. llleir. A uto
ry has been for some. time in circnlntion to
which this speech gives color. and which,
now that. one of the parties to the secret
hes blnbbed, we have}: right to refer to.—
It is this : that some weeks ago, and before
the Chicago Convention, one of the B air
family. who were then in full communion,‘
offered on the part of the President. in
writing. to General McClellan. any com
mand or service he desired. (in this respect
it was earl: Maudie.) provided he would
promise to s'upport Mr. Lincoln's abulition
policy and Mr. Lincoln's reelection. To
this indecent prODOSIHO“, General McClel
lan promptly and indignantly replied. in
writing too, that he was entitled to service
and aeommnnd unconditionally'—tlmt he
would obey any order from his supeiiors,
but that he would not traffic for It—thnt
l'lis opinions as to Mr. Lint‘oln's polir'v
were unchanged—anal iii to Mr. Lincoln's
election. neither Mr. Lincoln. nor Gem-ml
Grant, nor Mr. llt‘ur. nor lIIIV one else had
any right to control his vote or his pre
ference, and that he would muke no such
promise: '
Mr. Bliir’a speech is a curious confirma
tion of thin qurrent rumnr—and if he, or
his, were parties to this otter. nml now‘ pub
ley talk about it. we think‘thht General
McClellan's friends, hervulmutq at lean. are
entitled to know the whole truth. If re
cently he was offered 1: comman l. the fact
ought msilence the Administration cavil
lers, who are nmv‘bmy with his reputation.
We ask for further “Shh—Age.

The Exlrnofllnlry Aflpnpri-lio-rfor
Fur-Ilium. Ike \Vhllc noun
The extraordinary nppin; rintirins mndo
by the present and the [tt'i'lt wlzng Congrats
for furnishing the ext-outzvq in tlx‘ll'U have
attracted much public atlt‘lllluu. in con
nection with the small resulls seemingly
accomplished by these large disbtfisemen ta.
This fund. for refitting the President's
house, is disbursed more than any other
appropriation under the eye of the execu
tive, and he is alwiays held responsible _for
the honesty of the expenditure. The bills
and acmunts',-to be sure, go through the
routine ofauditing by the treasury bureau ;
but, since the disbursements areso directly .
and peculiarly made by the President, or
one of his domestic family, the Work of the‘ 1
auditors has been one of mere form. Well, ;
it so happened. in the earlyl part of Mr. ‘
Lincoln's adhiinifitratinn, that a bill was
presented at Washington for payment by
Messrs. E. V. Haughwout £700.. of this city. i
for n china dinner service; furnished by
order of Mrs. Lincoln for, th‘e’executive
mansion. The amount of the bill as ren
dered was sonic twenty-three hundred dol— ‘
liars.- Therewasdelaym payment. Messrs.
Haughwout d: Co. sent one of their principal
men to the White House to push the bill
through and get the money. There were
still diflicultiea in the way. the nature of
which for along time could not be ascer
tained. At last it was found that some
clerk, who had to pass upon the bill, de.
layed it because of the very unheard of
price charged for an American lervtee of
china. At length a dealer from Philadel-~
phia was sent. for to examine the china and 1
estimate its value, and the appraiser re-']
turned eight hundred dollars as its full value, ‘
instead Offloenly-tltree hundred. The case, at 1
last, came again before the President, and 4
the representative of Messrs. Hnughw’out
37 Co. was called in and confronted with the
Philadelphia valuation. He promptly an
swered, in substance: “Why. Mr. Presi
dent, my firm neger pretended that the
china was really worth more that eight
hundred dolrars. We have reason to sup
pose you knew that. The difference be
tween the price ofthechinaand the amount
of the hill is FOR ARTICLES ORDERED
FOR YOUR PRIVATE FAMILY USE.
BUT INVOICED AS CHINA FOR. THE
WHITE HOUSE.” “ Honest ” Abe was.
cornered and caught. Like another very
unfortunate man, dishonest in another
scandalous transaction in which he was
caught, he had "note word to say.” Mr.
Lincoln at last paid the difference out of
his own pocket, and Messrs. Hauhwout &
Co. got their money.
We may be in error, by a. very few doi
llrl, one way orthe other. as to the amounts
in question; but if any loyal Republican.
who believes in the honesty of “Old Abe,"
doubts the general correctness of our state
ment, we refer him to Secretary Femnden
or to Mr. Lincoln himself. '
fi'l‘he Minn”: Journal. a rabid Lincoln
paper published at. Poll-vim, in this State,

Jolm Bti’l Robinson. Earp—Dear Sir: Your
kind favor of the 3041. ML. came to hand
on the 6th inat.. and now I have just re
ceived yours of the Bth,end while I fully
and gratefully appreciate your kind inten- ‘
tions ‘. hesitan- about responding to your
inquiries. chiefly because [am unwilling to
write anything for publication. ’ ‘ ‘.
“'hile i take the deepest interest in the
fate of my country. and look with painful
apprehension to the future, yet I have reti
red from uhlic life. and can hardly appear
again before the puhlic. evenvby letter.
without having my motives impugned and
misrepresented; and therefore I have inm
riahly refused to attend any puhlic meet
ing. or write anything for publicatioh.
[sincerely feel that the country in on the
verge of ruin: and union: thélmliz‘y which
governs our national afi‘airn can be changed
we must soon end in national bankruptcy
and a. military despotism. Perhaps the for
mer/cannot now be averted, but the latter
may; but in ‘my opinion the pulley can only
be changed by a change of administration.
Everything seems to‘ have been done to
unite and exasperate the South. and inten~
only its hatied to the North, was to rendm
a union impotsible; but still I ammot with
out hope that a change of administration
may change the feelings of the Sguth to
ward 4 on. and eventually bring about a re
vatored Union and an'honorable poape : but
1 have no faith in that policy which propo
sea to exterminate the South, or hold it by
military subjugation. To maintain this
Union by force of arms. merely.-would re‘
quire a standing army that would exhaust
all the resources. of the nation. and meet”-
My ,oonvert our government into 1 military
deapotism. This is a result that no patriot
can contemplate without horror. But I
have said more than 1 intended, and you
will please to consider it private, and be
lieve me.
Yours, «$O., Mnunn Fuuon

It Tubiicnns are in the habit. of quoting
the sayings of their candidate for the Vice
Presidency. but they take good care not to
go far baék in his record. He is now as loy
al to the Abolition party and to the negro
as any other man dare be. He vents to be
.elected, and is willing to sacrifice anything
forihe nuke ofnflice. When a witness im
pmches himself he is not generally believ
ed, and if the Abolitionisti insist upon mu
king use of Andrew Johnson’s testimony n
gainst Democrats they ought not to refuse
to ‘nelievehis testimony against themselvee.
In 1862. in nn address to the Union men of
Tennessee, he said : ’ ‘
There are two partial in existence who
want dissolution. Slavery and a Southern
Confederacy in the hobby. Sumner wants
to hi-eak up the Government and so do 'the
Abolitiom’ptl penel‘uliv. They hold that if
