Letter From Gen. Itltelellan. NEW Yam, Aug. 25,1876. • The following is a letter. from General_ McClellan to a friend i 1. COBUR6, CANADA Aug. 16, 1876. 31:y Dear Sir : You i r very kind letter of the 10th has reached me,'and I quite concur 'with y0u,.., ' ' • Deeply impressed - with the; gravity of the issue involied in the approaching Presidential .election. believing that the honor of the country and . the well being of the country and the Well being of , the people depend in no sm?,ll degree' upon the result, I feel compel) a, to `depart from the reserve that has be orne so habitual to me, and express the earliest convic tions that press upon me. LI Under a constitutional , government the formation of political! pattiei a' necessary consequencb of the diversitY of human mindaand interests. Sentimen talists in their closets May' dream Of ,an ideal Republic, all of whose citizens ,are perfectly wise, virtuous and,lcontie4tient ly, unanimous: but such a dream can never be realized on this )earth,"and we must recognize the fact that political parties are, not only necessaryl, but bene ficial, acting as they do as checks upon each other. Experience has shown, in all constitutional countries, that when any party possesses uninterrupted power for a very long time, 'especially when the minority is too weak to interpose any et ficient check upon the actions'of the ma jority, the tendency is that the leaders become careless and reckl6s, forget that there is any power to which' they[are re sponsible, look upon- office, as a personal possession and reward, rather than a' public trust, and learn to, regard their tenure as permanent. So, too, Atte legis lative bodies become inclined to a system of extravagance, which engenders- cor ruption, taciliates the formation of rings, and finally destroys the prosperity of the people. The only"sure remedy iin such a case, is that the people shall, through the ba:-, lot-box, place the former. opposition in power.. That our country is ink the condition just described is proved by the universal and peremptory demand for complete rb form by the people, without regard to party. Among Democrats there is no doubt as to the manner in which tile change should be accomplished.' With many Republicans the question is whether they can trust the professions of their party, or whether they must take the disagreeable step of breaking away from old political associations, by leaving the party under whose adminis tration all the evils of which they-eoni plain have grown up,. and 'act with the Democrats, who, from 'the force of cir cumstances, must necessarily' be reform ers. ,' - I have the highest respect for the per sonal character and intelligence of the Republican candidate for the' Presidency and believe him to be an upright gentle-, man ; but it seems to me quite impoaei sible that he can change' the .organiz - a• tion and policy of his part}. Tfie.leaders who control and, shape its policy would be the same after i his elec tion as now, and it is idle 'to hope for any, change in them, or under them. It is now abundantly: evident that had not d Democratic House been elected in 1874,1 t would have been imPossible . to unearth the Various instances of malad ministration that have come to'light;-and it i 8 equally clear that until' the the gov ernment passes icto the hands of the Democrats, we shall never know the whole truth, whatever it may be ; and we need to know the truth as to the past, that it may serve to- guide as in the fu ture. Believing, as I firmly that every consideration of honesty and 'sound ,statesmanship, every true national and individual interest, demands the prompt )ntiuguration Cif a policy which shall, in the briAfest practicable time„, reduce ev ery govermeutal expenditure to:the low est point commensurate with honor and effic:ency, regarding the reform. of the civil service in its broadest sense, and with it the tnforcement upon office-hold,. era of the conviction that their only bu einess is to perform their 'public duties. and not to manipulate party pqlitics, as an Inherent part of thiii reform ; satis fied that it Must; he acsoimpanked byi fi uncial measures steadily directed tow krds the resumption of specie payments within the shortest possible period, , I can not for a moment doubt that these all important ends will be beet, and in fact only, attained by the .election of the-can dldate of the Democratic party.:, But questions of =finance and reform, are not the only ones which affect our present and fature. : , The recent war settled forever certain !fled questions; for example, the assert ,ed right of secession _,hae l _disappeared in , sett of blood- slaiery has been abolish , , r, never to reappei t r ; to the inegro has 'been given the. rights of citizanship and suffrage. We have nothing more to do with these results, !save . to 'accept them frankly, and watch that they remain in tae'. After many trials and tribulations, tae states not long since a!Tityed in items against the general Governnient; have re ettahlished their.relations with the Un 'oll, and regained , their autonomy.

INFORMATION. Boston, Dec. 12,1869. Gentlemen—My only objeet in giving yon this teal monial is to spread valuable information. Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the wielle surface Of my skin being covered with pimples and eruptions, many of which caused me great pain and annoyance, and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took many of the advertised brood preparations, among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla. without obtAining any benefit until I commenced taking the Vegetine, and be fore I had completed the first bottle I saw that I had got the right medicine. Consequently. I followed on with it until I had taken seven bottles, when I was pronounced a well man, and my skin is smooth and en tirely free from pimples and eruptions. I have never enjoyed so good health before, and I attribute 'it all to the use of Vegetine. To benefit those afflicted with Rheumatism, I will make mention also of the Vege tine's wonderful power of curing me of this acute coin `plaint, of which I have suffered so intensely. ' C. H. TUCKER.
