President. We had rather not noticed thi,
affair were it not for an attempt to make po

Democrat and therefore necessarily a victim
of the Lincoln despotism. The Democrat of
this week, says he was dismissed for defending
the character of Gen. McClellan and grows
eloquent in denouncing the "usurpation and
tyranny of the powers that be." Now, we
have some reliable information concerning
COLLINS' defence of Gen. McClellan, and
also some knowledge of the cause of his dis
missal. Lieut. COLLINS in conversation de
clared " that Abe Lincoln wits n d—d old
idiot; , 'that Gon. Grant was a blundering
butcher; . who had uselessly murdered 230,-

never have had the right to vote, still asthey
had it now, if lid were with his company on
election day, he would compel every man to
vote for /If Cleltaa'o7' severely punish those

McClellan's Letter of Acceptance.-
IVI3 print in another column, the letter of
Gen. McClellan, accepting the Chicago nom
ination.'' It has the merit of being a care
fully considered and most artfully worded
document. The General fully appreciates
the desirableness of the position to which he
has been tioniinated, and also the many al
most insurmountabletbstaeles which obstruct
his path to the presidential chair. Ills par
t' which tie at no time during the last four
;ears been strong-,enough to elect a Presi
dent, is lilt ivcal‘eined by a divi-don or sen
timent on a moat inyortant article - in their
political faitin. There are I hou , antls of good,
honest, patriotic men in the .15emoertttic par

fare of their country; who love their coun

ever interferes milli her welfare and pros

triumph of the (;overnittent in this mighty
struggle for its own existence. There are

But we need say no more of the letter. Gen.
McClellan accepts the nomination of his
party, and therefore is responsible for their
principles. Ilu cull 110i11101' alter or amend.

the Chicago platfitrin as is any num of the
party, not excepting George H. Pendleton.
If elected, he will owe, lti.t election to the
votes of those 10011 Wilp endorse and approve
the Democratic platform, and his adminis
tration will be controlled by the men who
dictated it. The dt,citirutions of a candidate
who accepts the nomination of a party, can
not change the 'declaration of their princi
ples made prior to his nomination. Let us
then, hold him to the record of ills party,
and leave no effort untried to defeat a candi
date who, if elected, will fully carry out
their treasonable principles.
LET. Abralitun Lincoln has been the cause
of more death and more misery than any
man of whom modern history makes men
tion. He has sent whole generations of
young men to the grave, and what has he
done to show for it? lie lilts had two mil
lions of men and four thousand' millions of
dollars. He has had the arbitrar , , , power of
Cesar, and what recompense has be nook to
the people' for thorn?— Volunteer•.
President Lineolnhas not been the "cause
of more death and more misery than any
man of whom modern history makes men
tion," nor has he sent ''whole genorn'tions of
young men..to the grave." This bloody dis
tinction belongs to his opponents.' At the
,time of his,inauguration . bemocrats actin;
in, cud through their political organir.ations,
lia"d - ebnunitted hundredsnf ovortaeta of trea
son Which 'would Jlaire hrought'on a war ho'-

been for his forbearance' and desire to prevent

that they resist' by force to the,' .last
exptemity, any attempt of his to exercise his
constitutional authority over - them. .They
had plotted hisaSsasSinittiOn, ma hid sworn
to. prevent his inaugthatical - at :any .and all
hazards. For three montlfg - befo .e Mr. Lin
coln's induguration, Democratic Senators and
Members of Congress, Governors of States,
State and Federal .Judger, were 'engaged
in schemes that ,they know must end in
bloOdshed:. Democratic officers of the U. S.
Army were resigning their positions and
'taking charge of organizations that have
been ever since engaged in murdering the
defenders of our Government. Democratic
districts were organizing en masse to take
pi•:".S1.:4 , 1011 Or National property and to Over
turn the Government' surrey because Abra
ham Lincoln had been fu n y elected Presi
dent of the United States. But so great was
his desire to prevent bloodshed, that all the
• personal inilignitiesoffered to hint were over
looked and all their crimes against the Gov
ernment forgotten. In his inaugural he
assures these rebels that, there will be no at
tack made upon them and entreats them to
wait until their alleged grievances can be
discussed and reinetlied. They spurned hie
peaceful overtures and le•gan a conflict, that
lets priall'icial more death and sufforing.ithfin

What tt sad sight it is, to c.co the
foree and directed by
wonknoss and vice! The American nation
obeying t h e kill tool dire..tion of the city of
Now-York, romindi us involuntarily of an
Arab who dragged a chitined lion after hint
in the onvin,n, or Al g iers, itrt...l : having put
out its eyes, and wholived with the row coins
which this piteom sight oxtorted from the
compassion of Hie passers-by. The Ameri
can people, certainly the nmst enlightened
in the world, among whom the most remote
cottage contains a Bible which all can read,
sutforing itself to be directed by the New-
York rabble, the most vicious, as well as the
most ignorant upon the globe, forms n con
trast and political anomaly which constitute
a social problem which is a constant C:111S0 of
of pity and grief to the thinker.
New-York, the worst-organized, the dir
tist, the most iimnoral city on the globe:
that in which the police is the worst, and
the finances most imptidently wasted, in a
word, a city which neither knows how nor
is able to lead itself, and which, aboye all, is
not American, imposing its will upon Amer
ca and dictating to her the candidate that
suits it fur the supreme magistracy, is a sorry
sight, which no sensible man could expect to
witness, but which, however, we haNre all
seen at Chleago.

for McClellan and Jefferion Davis by the
light of incendiary torches in the midst of
pillage and orgies, parading4l the Union

their chief was' wanting, he who was arrest
ed in the arms of a black mistress, after hav
ing all day directed the massacre, hanging,
and burning of poor innocents of the same
race. 'We attended in person at these three
great M 1.1140118 of vice and ignorance, which
have prepared,' accomplished, and ratified
McClellan's election. .In the first, there
were only Irish,; not an American, a Gor
man, nor a Frenchman ; perhaps not ten in
dividuals knowing how to read, could be
found in that filthy mob. In the second, the
same contingent was present, but considera
bly reinforced by those Who came to lock on,
.and who, in all zrecit cities like Now-York,
constitute m crowd, when:musio or fireworks
offer, diversion and attraction, . which cost
neither_ operiso •nor - Irouhlo. In the third,
wore fewer lookers-on; fewer Americans, bitt
a considerable number dr Irish.' Such is the'

the two dollars that each rioter receiN;ed . on
the 'first day ? Who paid them ? We have

Louis Napojeon, creating public misery at

barometer according to his masters' orders ;
in truth, we ask ourselves which is most as
tonishing, the impudence of a raw rascals,
united to famiAh a people and speculate upon
its sufferings, who, with a circulation of
twenty-five thousand dollars a day, make the
price of bread and meat rise or fall, reducing
the people to despair, and laughing insolent

Sept Ino _AI AXIL IN ES in 1150, in our section of
the country. In the large cities, every fam
ily has its Sowing Machine, and they would•
not be without one fur ten times its cost. It
is certainly the most useful and economical
invention of (Image, and we ad vise our read
ers to hesitate no longer, but see to getting
one of these labor and life saving Machines.
There are a great many kinds of Sewing Ma
chines, and we have taken stone pains to ex
amine into their respective merits, and we
have come to the conclusion that the 'WHEEL
ER eC WILSON, HIGHEST PREMIUM SEWING
MACH INN, is decidedly the best.
These unequalled Machines are adapted to
every variety of sewing for family wear,
from the lightest 'mishits to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upon silk,
linen, woollen,rand cotton goods, with silk,
cotton, or linen thread. They will , seam,
quilt, gather, hem, fell, cord, braid, bind, and
perform every kind of sewing; making a
beautiful end perfect stitch, alike. on both
sides of the article sewed. The sewing will
never unravel or wash out.
The - Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines
are so simple that 'a child can work them
.with ease: Printed instructions are sent
with every. Machine, so that any one can
operate them withotit any trouble or difficul-.
ty: - Every Machine is. warranted, and the
money returned if not entirely satisfactory.
Over Filly Thousand of the .celebrated
Wheeler & ,- Wilson Sowing ~.)lachines are
sold - t every year, and yet the .demanttis-to
great that they canJiardly be supplied' as
fltst as ordered. Machines aro caretli)ly pack-.

Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and get one
of their Almanacs for 1865, and specimens
of work done by the Machine, all of which
they will send by Mail, free of charge, to any
address. We shouldhe glad toSee an Agen
cy for the Wheeler Wilson Sowing Ma
chine established in our locality. We know
them to be the best, met ,imple and cheap

of Gen. Logan printeqtplfw. The closing
paragraph is a co:leis:1 f-tatoment of a truth
that should be kept constantly in mind.
NEA A•rt.AN TA , August. 2.
The campaign is running to its fourth
month, with scarcely 0 day but a large part
of the command is under tire. My losses in
killed or. wounded are already over a thous
and,.but this is no fair proportion of the lo6s
es 'of our army, us the fatos have a., usual put
me in warm places.
Will the people keep up their pluck and
tight the thing out? it all depends upon
their stead-UN tness of purpose. iziOnnund
does not fall soon, the Arthy of the West
will finally make its way to the back door.
If none of the Eastern rebel army comes
here, we will wear this one out before the
close of, the season, and it is but a matter of
time when the entire force of the enemy must
waste away. Will the people hold out?
Johnson's veteransartny, by his official re
port June 25, contained forty-six thousand
SIX hundred and twenty-eight •arins-bearing
men, Including six thousand six hundred and
thirty-one of Wheeler's cavalry. They have
-lost since that. time five thousand prisoners,
and 'int-heir three- assaults upon our works,
silica-arriving - in front-ef .this .pleee, at least
twenty thousand men. They have received
from Mississippithree thousand five hundred,
and are receiving , from Governor Broivn's
N proclamation about eight thousand militia.
This gilies them -to-day en army ,of about
Omen ty-ilve thousand Veterans and eight thous
and militia--4hirty-three thousand in all.
These figures are:substantially , correeL—
The hope of being reinforced. by .. .Kirby
Smith is aflasttiVen up. After exhausting the

cannot for mylife see how the enemy can
make up the wastage of their army.
I know the rebel army when it was joined
by Polk, just before the fight nt Resaca, was
seventv-one thousand strong. This includ
ed Poll:, and' beside the additions before Men
tioned it bas receiyed a brigade (llarting's)
of at least three thou-and from Mobilc,„„a'his
gives the °mum - ions loss to them since the
e;trup,aigi of flit y-t thotNand men. Whitt
chance im there for these t hi rty-three
thousand now before us!' The , l.l,igut es iwty
seem an exaggeration, but they are pot. they
are realities. What will hinder 06 daily
attrition of the next three months from
completing the overthrow of the roe before
us?

on tile adoption of the ('lurk proposition,

2:3. Tho presumption would be, naturally,
that if the South had votes enough to reject
the substitute, iL would alsohave had enough
to reject the proposition when offered inde
pendently. There was a falling elf in the
negative vole on the proposition, as compar
tl with that on the first motion to substitute,
of +ten votes. This is accounted for by the
find. that Senators . Benjamin and Flidell, of
-Louisiana ; Wiglall and llcmphill, of Texas;
Iverson, of Georgia, and J Anson, Arkan

and. pc:fused to note. ad these six South
ern men voted "no," tile Clark proposition
would have been defeated a majority of
four votes, and ate Crittenden Compromise
could have been taken up and carried - by the
tl-alno majority. It appears of record, then,
that the Crittenden Compromise was reject
•ed because six. of the leading Senators from
tho South virtually refutted to vote for it. A
motion to reconsider was carried some weeks
inter, and a direct 1111011 the Compro

force them to elect, as they deplare they do
elect, extermination rather than submission
and Union.
Early in the struggle—before the Govern
ment had taken the aggressive—President
Lincoln offered peace in most liberal terms.
The terms were, briefly, the laying down of
arms and the abandonment of their hostile
attitude. The world knows how those terms
,were met. It need not be repeated here.
The desolation of Southern fields, and the
Vacant seats in thousands upon thousands of
Homes, both North and South, bear the re
cord. Still later, amnesty and parden have
been offered by the President, still the chiefs
of.rebel lion abate not a tittle of their ener
gy to maintain th,emselyes in their wrong,
They deinand recognition and independeneer
of a Government they hate. Intimate knowl
edge of the directing' minds of the rebellion
tilicla.s flint they will never abandon their
wicked scheme until obliged to do so by the
sheer force of suck iron circumstances as con
trol the results of war.
There is
no ground, then, for hope of
p`nee through compromise; no hope Of per
manent peace. There is no such discharge in
this war. Those who go before the country
upon such vicious pretexts are nut deceived
themselves, however much they may deeciro
the ignorant and unsuliveting. To charge
upon them in a matter so Un
1111.411knhly clear would be equivalent to•
charging them with imbecility. They do ,
not deoci vet hemselves. The pretext of seek
ing the defeat of Mr. Lincoln that peace may
return to our borders covers II sinister pur
pew. r they wish peace they can have it
liut in two wnv--inn cowardly abandonment
of the struL;e,de, Milowed by di-union, or by
a more vigorous of possible) prosecution of
the War.
Thus the true issue upon which the cam
paivt i , to he made becomes sharplydefined.
None c•nn deprecate the horror:: of war or
(b=iro the return of pence inore than do the
Wal -opportors of the National Union

Ir of 1•:t‘•2 nal Justice, he cannot despair of
the ltepublie, There may be sonic i n whom
the pri twilit,. of hope maintains but a feeble
ex iminee, unless stimulated by uninterrupted

tained by the example of the more hopeful
and enduring. They t.
must be assured of what
the phili,phy of history and of events
teaches, that danger lies in turning back, as
security lies in pressing forward. The deso
lations, and the bereavements, and burdens
of war may lie, nay, are terrible, but the
tempest which ravages forests and fields, de
stroying the increase of labor, and even hit
man life, is also terrible. Yet it is benefi
cent. \\'ith unvarying calm the atmosphere
would degenerate into putridity, and the
earth would revolve in endless night. So
war involves nations it its fearful vortex
that social and political renovation may fol
low. As a fire swooping over the fields licks
up the chaff and stubble, yet afflicts not the
solid earth, it the fiery trial which wo aro
called upon to endure is consuming the noto
rious crimes of society. Thu nation will
issue out of this struggle stronger and purer
than before. Wrong, such as confronts us,
cannot drive right into exile. Craft and vil
lainy are not to be the subjugators of wisdom
and virtue. And whatever crimes may have
been, or may yet be, perpetrated in the name
of civilization, it is not now to he proved.

ities are not to come upon the American,
people, for the reason that the masses are to.

to establish their liberties upon a surer found
ation than the anomalies upon which they
have hitherto rested.

TLo victory is to be we'll by unremitting
labor, and a watchfulness that shall be proof
against the surprises planned by traitors at
borne or abroad. We are to look for no.
fortuitous happenings, no miraculous inter—
positions. ~ T he friends of the Government,
