- We are Often asked by our friends, says
the New York Wor ld, can the Democrats
possibly elect General McClellan 7 We
say, yes, easily. Look around you and see
the evidence of it with which every man
may prove the result for himself.. Look
around you among your friends and no
quaintances. Do you knew any Democrats
who are not going for 'McClellan ? Hardlyt
one, from Maine to Minnesota, outside of

coin's unworthiness, and will not re-elect
him to power? Do you not see the Re
-
publinan papers working with desperate
energy, not to!' make proselytes—not to
-win support to tincoln, but simply tobold
their own—to keep more men from de
serting to the opposition ?
'This is the situation everywhere. Mc
blellan's gains are 'thus in the aggregate
enormous. Neither the bayonets, nor the
money, n6r the office-holders of
.Pacoln,
can save him from defeat. the Democrats
arid' conservative men of the North can
not only "possibly elect McClellan ;" they
can't. possibly help elcting him. Reckon
up these changes in your own county; ob
serve that the changes are all one way
over the country, mad. then remember the
small per centage of the total vote required
to win, and figure out the result: Look
at New England—Maine, even-4.a gain of
over three thousand votes,. against' an ag
gregation of influence which can. in no
State be thus concentrated in November.
The Abolition Mass Meeting on Wednesday,'
was eonsiderabir more of a success than the
olio of a couple weeks ago. The procession
was rather a handsome affair, and was evident

Thursday was not any larger (if as large) than

Thursday, the 6th 'of October, is a day
long to be remembered' ,in the history of
Erie county, and especially in the memo
ries of 'her Democratic citiaens. -7 On•that
day, regardless of the unpropitioos state
of the weather, defying the heavy storm
of the previous night and morning, And
the wretched condition of the roads, the'
pattiotic'people turned out as if by a corn-'
mon inspiration, to assert the old 'time
principles of their fathers, and proolaile
anew their devotion to the Union and
Constitution, and their dissatisfaction with'
the fanaticism, North and South, which is
endeavoring to subvert them. We have
delayed our publication in order to 'IVO
atuLccotint of this astounding "demon tra
y!
lion, but. of course, can do nothing ore,
in the hurried conditidn in which we find
ourselves, consequent on the necessity of
reaching the mails that all our patrons
may be supplied this weelc, than to give a
mere outline sketch of the proceedings. •
The day opened as dreary and disheart
ening as one could imagine. Nearly all
the preceding night rain fell in such copi
ous quantities that the streams were filled
to their brims, the roads covered with
:nod knee deep, and in some places *brid
ges and .culverts were carrieil away, re
quiring travelers to go miles out of their
regular course. The rain appeared to fall
the hardest about five o'clock, when the
people from the country would be mot
likely, Co be making their-preparations to
start for ihe city. Everything looked dis
couraging; and there is no use to' disguise
the fact, that those, who had taken the
most active part in getting up 'the meet
ing began to feel decidedly "blue." The
weather during the entire forenoon was
exceedingly disameable ; sometimes the
skid's brightened for a short peridd„ las
if to clear :up, and then suddenly would
Unit'. forth another sharp sprinkle of rain
that seemed calculated to dampen the
spirits of even the most ardent. patriois.
The city Republicans were jubilant. They
felt confident that the meeting was to be
a "fizzle." Eiery'Democrat that they mL
was greeted with some jeering remark,
which showed in an unmistakable manner
the assurance they had conceived that the
meeting was to he a failure, and the;anxi--
ety they entertained that It should ,be
such. But the overweening happiness of
1 these gentlemen of exclusive "loyalty,"
was soon to be brought to a pitiful over
throw, the more painful because it was so
1 unexpected and overwhelming.
About noon the clouds became broken
up, and the remainder of the afternoon
until about five o.clock was comissistively
pleasant. The firing of the cannon in the
Park announced that the grand proces
sion from Federal Hill had entered State
street,*and, as if by magic, the thorough
fares became filled with people. As it
passed dOwn State street the air seemed
perfectly wild with shouts, and the blaze
of enthusiasm thus auspioiuously started,
continued throughout the day. No one
could have witnessed the intense, impres
sive and spontaneous outburate of ap
plause which burst forth from the throats
of the Democratic thousands assembled
on Thursday, without feeling that there
was something more than mere party et;
tachment or political bigotry that caused
them to be expressed. It was the irrepressi
ble sentiment of the heart, responding - .o
the solemn-cOnviction of the judgment,
that this administration has been tried
and "found wanting," and_ that nothing
less than a return to the teachings of ,
those who founded the Republic can save
it from total anarchy and ruin. ,
That- the procession was a success—a
great one undei the circumstances—no
one, not blinded by Abolition bigotry, will
deny. It astonished the Opposition, and
it surprised the friends of the movement
scarcely any less. The line stretched from
,the Lake bank far beyond Federal Rill►
a distance of at least two miles. lt was
not so handsome, perhaps, as the-one of
last year, but that could not have been
expected. Three bands; isooursed music
on the route, and the number of flags and
banners seemed 'almost innumerable. Re
markatilcoas the procession was, it was, if I
anything, surpassed by the meeting 'WM.
We do not undertake to estimatra the
number of people present, for vde know
too well the contradictory nat'.are of opin
ions on such subjects, bat we have no hes
itation in saying that the crowd was at least
as large as any politio , ,l assemblage ever
convened in this o ur own p r i va te
opinion is, that it 'was larger than the Re
publican one of, the day before, but we
shall tO eatVded with claiming an equal
number, v.nd when it is remembered that
the Lio politee bad two to our one in the
electi on of 1863, our friends abroad can
for some conception of the spirit that
'actuates the people of North' Western
Pennsylvania in this campaign. Thegen
ilemen from Philadelphia and elsewhere
of both parties, who participated in the
railroad excursion, expressed • themselves
astonished at such an 'exhibition of Alb*.
c rade strength in Erie county. And what
was more striking still, it was two-thirds
composed of bona Ms voters, men "who
wield a power in the land," and not main
ly of women and children, as is the case
with moat large political demonstrations.
The tueeting was organised by theelec
tion of Hon. Selden Marvin as President,
with a long list of Vice Presidents and
Secretaries.
Speeches were mule from three differ
ent stands around each of Which an im
mense, compact mass of people listened
with close interest, and, if. their almost
wzmeSsing cheers art to be taken as en in
dication, with the keenest gratificatien. i . l —
could not get near enough to beet
the speeches with satisfaction, and twn
more stands could have been put_ in good,
use, had there hempen's= to speak from
them. At the mein platform the princl
pa speeches were _mad* by Hon._:. - 13.

We think this meeting will be, prodmitive st

of the speeches. It will stiffen the back bones
of our Democratic friends at home, and the
news of our reMarkable'succeis will go abroad
to encourage oue,brethren in -other parts of
the country. It will aoaviacte the Abolition
office holders and office hunters of this vicini
ty, that the Democratic peOple of Erie city
and county are not to be brow-beaten, and
that, if they are not & majority, they at least
constitute a very respectable: minority, whose
sentinieuts 'and interests hid better not be
trifled with to soo great an ezlens. And, be
yond all, it was an unerring indication of
the spirit which moves the honest masse of
the people, giving us every reason thopti and
believe, that to the eleetlons'soon to occur the
popular majority will be out in such \ se way
as to elect the tried patriots, George liblts-

ing the return of an honorable peast'-'-tWI*I

I must be excuse's.
The issuesef the day are, ina..4, most

for the best counsels of all its citizens, and no
man must be deterred from expressing his
individual convictions by any mdicione
assaults to which they may subjeet him. Oar

lives for their country. We that are at home
most not shrink from the shafts of partisan
enemies, while we contend in the sem
cause. •
The friends of President Lino° are eidey
log an enormous patronage of power, civil aid
military, whlpi they are naturally reluctant
to relinquish: The office !Isidore on all sides
are clamoring vigorously against any atterepi
to reinove them. The presses which are reap
ing the rich harvest of Government favor are
equally averse to' a cheap. The contractors
are panic struck at the idita of inch a thiag.
The administration, alarmed for its safety, is
even striting tcreet up its own ocontinamthe in
office as a test of tlie'patriotism of the people.
But,the people know_ how to distinguish be
tween supporting the Geveromeat and sup
porting the administration, and they will so
cept no tests of patriotism except - an uncon
ditional devotion to the Unit= and the Con
stitution. -
If we could feel that the Union was sate in

well forbear to oppose them in a time of war.

Bat:those of us who that the peeling

wanting; that its *pa Noy has divided thi North
and'itnited the South, and that its maims
have not only greatly inereared' the difficulty
of military success, bat have prevented that
success from being followed by its legitimate

In that noble son of Pennsylvania, George

all oonimend•ation, and one who stands pledged
to 'e vigorous prosecution of the war for , the '

The rebel leiden. do me "desire" the ago

and printed testimony they hen wen on
that point refutes the exertion tint they
do. The Southern people snay„for in that
event they would see the hope of a return

dependence, and know" well that with Mo.
Olen= as President they could not keep
the masses with them. Lincoln offers the
Southern people nothing but subjugation,
- emancipation and obedience
to tha'arbitrary measures of the Abolition
party. McClellan &skint them no other
condition of peace tint a return to the
Union and submission to the constitution.:
'II law. of the land, with all their personal
and State rights unimpaired: The former
is the policy of aggravation, or usselent•
lag hate, of determined opprenion ; the
latter of conciliation, of justice, and of
magnanhnity.• Under Lincoln's plan, the
entire South, men. women sad children,
will remain a unit in the neolution to
"fight it oat to the bitter end;' wider
McClellan's, the peOple would 'soon be
come convinced their-it was more to their
interest to have peace by returning bi the
Union than to continue fighting for the
I phantom of a separate government. The
rebel leaden understand this thoroughly,
and hence their anxiety that, Lincoln may
be re•elected. I Wigs the Illinois buffoon

is now too late, for another policy.
The United States Government under
Linden has repeated the folly of 'Slog
George in his Irene with the oolotriel.—
McCtelhus in his humane treatment of our ,
captives ak Cheat Mountain was the coun
terpart of Carlton at Quebec, as also in bur
ideas of the manner. in which the,war
should he conducted. As with Carlton,
no McClellan% counsels were spurned un
til it is too late to adopt them.
McClellan is committed to the Union as
it was, conceding to the States-all 'their
rights, including that of property in
slaves. The Abolitionists, however, would
rather see the Union slide than see the
Southezu States restored With slavery re
tained. They would see in this restora
tion, also, a great party disadvantage ; for
the entire vote of the Southern States
would be dead weight against theM in
every contest. They Would become peace
men on the basis of Confederate indepen
dence soccer than see such a Union as
McClellan 'would restore. And of all per
sons none could they be more unwilling
to , trust, for none do they more bitterly
hate than McPlellan himself. If ti then,
`the Democrats/should come out, for war,
and be successful in the election, the Abo.
litionists will 'he fos, peace. So, in any
case, we are sure of a powerful peace party
- in the North'.
The Macott (C t.) Appeal asys : "The as
of • a 'conservative Democrat like
McClellan to the Presidency Would do in
finitely inore to paralyze the South and
build up a 'reconstinction party in our
midst—a most fatal calamity—than the
combined efforts of the present party in
polder."
The Riohinood Die Patch, io a different
article from the one quoted above, after
acknowledging that the blunders of Lin
coln's administration have vastly bene
fited their interests, thus continue!:
"Let him, stay, for fear of a s u ccessor
whomight not be such an hibecile.
So we say of Old Abe. It, would be inmos
tibia to find another inch ass in the trni.
tad States; and, therefore,, we say let him
stay. We at least , of the Confederacy
ought to be satisfied with him, for he has
oonducted the war exactly as we ought to
Wish it to be conducted. He has con
firmed those who were wavering, het.
ted red hot those who were careless,
converted cold indifference into furious
passion, and calculating neutrality into
burning patriotism. But for the military
operatiotis s oonoeived and executed under
his auspices, surely we have no I right to
complain. No service ever had so many
blundering, officers ; and no campaigns
were ever conducted with greater stupidi
ty. For these 'reasons we are decidedly
in favor of Old Abe, and if we could Com
mand a million of votes in Yankeedom,
kie Would have them all. He his made
the South the most united people that
ever went forth to battle with an invader;
and for that he deserves the lively grati
tude of every Southern man." '
The Augusta (Gs.) Cbettitutioouilist, of a
late date, talki•this way : ,
"From McClellan's letter of acceptance
we gather. that he is perhaps the most
dangerous! adversary We could; possibly
have to deal with. Conciliation, unlucki
ly, goes very far with weak-kneed breth
ren, and with respect to the new nominee
It, is Only the saliva of the anaconda pribr
to swallowing. Curious readers ;of the
"Wandering Jew" may discover that, in
the choice between Abe and Mac, we have
the violence of Father d'Agringy and the
slight periussiveness of Father Rodin. Of
the two alternatives we have the less to
fear from viblence,"
The Mobile Register of the 16th Septem
tier has a long article in which the hope'
is expressed that Gen. McClellan': nomi
nation will divide and break down the
Democratic party, and then, it adds :
"Lincoln Is far better 'for us think
lan." the reasons given being the same as
expressed in our comments above, that
the latter's success would establish a
strong - Union party in the Elbuth, while
the reelection of the former Will, in the
opinion of the liegisur, keep the nmases
resolved on independence. and lead, to
final triumph. - •
The Richmond Evairer, of Septemher
22d, is thus emphatic an the subject of
Sheridan's late victories: "Paitial succes
ses, like this in the valley, mat elect Lin
"coln...we hope they will—but they land.
very little to any final result: They serve
the purpose of. Lincoln to defeat McClel
lan; but they contribute nothing toward
our sntjjuption."
The Richmond Examiner, of • September
Bth, his.* lengthy article on he Chicago
platform. The much abused second reso
lution does not suit its editor) any better
than it .dOes the Abolitionists of the
North. Re nip of it t.
"Armistice will certainly lies feature in
the new policy—armistice with a view to
negotiation. And ' now, supposing that
armistice to be accepted, it must be ed.
ranted that the situation would , be roger
ded by manyi good Confederates se more
perilous to our independence than Lin
coln's war to the knife; for 'those nego
tiations will not necessarily be confined,
as they ;Night to be, to the Confederate
governMeut. They may address them
selves sererally, perhaps unofficially, to
State Legislatures; they may wind their
way thrcsigh every ramification of society,
by commercial transactions and private
Intercourse; may approach influential in
dividuals'in the shape of promises of po
litical support, llsof. of hard money ; in
e conceivable manner that season of
armidioe. would be used to create here an
thaw party at once. The effort would fail;
yet itinight distract and divide and intro
lime troublesome disoord,when now there
is a good practical unanimity. , There can
be no doubt that should Lincoln permit
an election, and - should McClellan be the
new Preddent, and should he offer an ar
mhtice for negotiation, even though it
should be a real, genuine oessation of hos
tilities by sea and land, the cause of Con
fident* independence would then begin
to bare 4 neir kind Of peril to encounter,

Editor of Observer :—Tbo star of Democracy
is in the asoezdenor. Our Maas Meeting at
this place, on Monday, was a decided Success,.
Compared with the one the Disunionist' held
on the 30th ult., it was far superior in num-
bers, in . order, in caliber of speeches, inciden
tal entertainments, &a and the Abs au
knowledge themselves out did. Isaac R. Tay
lor ,was appointed Presiding Officer, G. A.
Allen, Thou. U. Nash and Sure:
taries, with an able corps of Vice Presidents.
After a brief and able speech by the President
a splendid American Eiiign, 14x20 feet, was
presented to ',the Edinboro Democratic Club
by the ladies otEdinboro and Washington.
The material •:of this flag wu purchased by
the 14dtee themielves, at a cost of seventy
dollar', and wrought by their - own fair hands
tin a m anner superior to anything of the kind
in Erie county, and .challenges excellence. It .
' was 'presented, in behalf of the donors, by G.
A. Allen, Esq. This was responded to, on be•
hat of the Club: by, Dr. •J.: C. Wilson.
[Want of time obliges us to omit Mr. Allen's
and Dr. Wilson's speeches Until next week.—
They are both excellent inaentiment and well
worthy of 'publication.] 1.

devoted patriot and wise statesman—may his.
shadow never grow lees. Mr. Lloyd followed
with it lengthy and fervent appeal to the host,
of honest voters before him, giving some time,
ly and apt illustrations of the "Higher Law"
doctrine. Capt. Hutchinson "wee then called
upon, but owing to the lateness of the hour,.
declined making a speech farther than to offer
' an apology for the abstince of Col. Dan Rice;
which he did in, a brief and very appropriate
style. Thee came the corps of speakers front

Dear Observer.:—Here we are again. There
are quite stirring times here at present. Last
Thursday evening the Democratic °lab of Co.
iambus met and read their resolutions, after
which they were addressed by Mr. V.'S. Cur
tis, of this place. As we were not present we
are unable - to give you either' the resolutions
or the speech, both of which we hove been
assured were excellent. Mr. Curtis is a young
man of great promise, this being, we under
stand, his first attempt at public speaking ;
and we are told it was a perfect success. .The
"loyal" citizens of Columbus and vicinity,
turned out en mane .to listen, to the vise
sayings of Meters. Scofield and Curtis, of
Warren. As we' attended a "Copperhead"
meeting at Corry wa are unable to inform you
of their success. At. Corry we listened to
Messrs. Whitman, Lloyd add others, who told
us a great many truths. We were very sorry_
to learn the lamentable condition of Goy.
Bigler. But we fear we are trespassing upon
your space and therefore wilt close by saying,
