The following is the letter of Oen MeClcllan
to the committee announcing hia
nntuinniiiui <?? ? ?? !>-*_:J
? .? >?? Kukgg x iCDIueuCJT OJ
the Chicago Convention:
Oranuk, Nkw Jersey, Sept 8,1864.
Gentlemen : 1 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of. your letter, infor
mitig me of uiy nomination by the Democratic
National Convention, recently assembled
ut Chicago, ns their candidate at the
next election lor President of the Uuited 1
St tea. .
It is unnecessary for me to say to yon
that this nominal ion comes tome unsought.
I atu happy to know that, when the nont|
i nut ion was made, the record of my public
lite was kept in view.
The effect of long and varied service in
the* army,-during~war and peace, has been
to strengthen and luako indellible in uiy
wind and heart the reverence fur the Union,
Constitution, laws and flag of our
oountry, impressed upon me in early youth.
These leelings have thus far uuided the '
course of uiy life, and tuust continue to do
sd to its end.
The existence of more than one Government
over the region whieh once owned
our flag is incompatible with the peace, 1
the power, aud the huppimss of the people.
The preservation cf our Union was the
sole*uvowed o> jeet for which the war was
commenced It should have been conduct
cd tor that object only, and in accordance
j with those priuciules which I took occasion
' to declare when in -active nervioc.
Thus conducted, the work of rceoneiliatiun
wi uld have been easy, and we lui^lit
| have reaped the benefits of our uiatty victor
ie? on land nod sea
he Union was originally formed by the
exercise of a spirit of conciliation and cum
premise. To res ore and preserve it, the
saiuo'spirit must prevail in our council*
and in the hearts of the people. '1 he re
I establishment of the Union in all its integ!
rity is, and must continue to be, the indispensable
condit 011 of nny settlement.
So soon us >t is clear, or even probable,
lhat our present adversaries are ready fur
peace upon the basis of the UiiLii, we
should exhaust ull the resources of stutes
uiauship practiced by civilised nations, ami
taupht by the traditions oi tb: American
people, consist Lilt with tiiu Itoio-r and in

that wiien any one Male is milling

with a luil guarantee ot all its coualilutiouui
rights.
it u trunk, earnest and persistent effort
to obtain these objects should tail, the responsibility
lor ulterior consequences will
tall upon (hose who remain in urins against
I lie I'ti.on; but the I ii ion iiiu.it be.prefer
ved ut all b.-raids.
1 oouio nut look in the face of my gallant
comrades ot the army and navy, who
have survived so iiriuv blo-nly battles, and
tell thttui that their labors and the saerifice
ot so any ol our slain and wounded bre-bren
Lad been in vain?that we had abandoned
that U ii ion Ibr which we have so of
ten periled our lives. A vast majority of
our people, whether iu the army and navy
or at home, would, us 1 would, hail with
unbounded joy the permanent restoration
ol peace mi the basis ot the I'nion, under
the Constitution, without the effusion ol ;
another diop ol bio.id Ifut no peace can
be pcrius u til without union.
A? to the 01 In r*subjects presented in
the resolutions ot the Conveution, I need
only say that 1 should seek in the Constitution
of the United States, and (he laws
trained iu accordance therewith, the rule
ol my duty and the limitations of executive
power; endeavor to restore economy in the
public expenditures, re establish the supremacy
ot law, and, by the operation of a
more vigorous nationality, resume our commanding
position among the nations ui the
earth.
| 'J tie condition ol our finances, the depreciation
of iho paper*mo..ey and the burden
thereby itn|>osed on labor and capital, show
the necessity ot a return to a sound financial
system; while the rights ot citizens and
the rights of States, and the binding authority
of law over President, armv und
' people, are subjects of not ie?s vital iiupor;

From lodlaM.
At Indianapolis, .00 the 29th ultimo,
there was a grand reception of aercral returning
regiments. Governor Morton made
an addjress to the soldiers, iu the oonrao of
which he discussed the question of an armistice
as follows:
It requires two parties to make an armistice
; and Jeff. Davis has alreadjr dcclar
ca tuut he demands the withdrawal of oar
armies fiom the South as a necessary pre
liiuinury to any negotiation. Who shall
ask lor an arunatioe 1 Shall oar Govern*
uient sue lor terms at the feet of the South?
W ill this audience of soldiers agroe to4
that? ?Crieeof"No! No!"] But what
does an armistice mean ? It means to cease
operations in front of Atlanta; it means to
louse the bold ou Richmond; it means to
atop Farragut at Mobile.
As every one knows, diplomacy takes a
great deal of time, and probably, at last,
would tail. Can we spare enough of the
weatker now left us for military operations
to be frittered away in armistice, and then
find ourselves carried into the winter, when
our campaign must necessarily close? Can
we afford that now ? But who believes the
rebels will voli ntarily come back into the
Union, and give up those very ideas for
winch th-y have suffered the horrors of a
loug and bloody war, especially if W3 are
to acknowledge, by &*king an nrmistioc,
that we are unable to conquer theui ?
Can we coax tbcm ba.k ? If we try that
we shall have to agree to pay their war
debt, to give a pension to lheir widows and
orphaus and maimed soldiers; we shall
have to pay the damage that has been done
to the Southern States during the war; aud,
more than all, wc will have to engraft into
our Constitution the doctrine ot secession.
Suppose we suceecd. When wc come to
voting money iu pay l tic war debt of the
South, or to |?etiai u their soldier*, or to reimburse
them tor damages, abolition Massachuaettea,
abolition Ohio, abolition Wisconsin,
will toil us, -We did not want an armisiiee,
we wanted to fight this vat out;
but us you have acknowledged secession in
your Constitution, we will quietly walk
out." in this way the Union would go to
pieces, and the country we tried to save be
token up by the very coiuprom.se that
was intruded to preserve it We can inaka
no compromise but what will break up the
Coveriiuient. The only way tc get out of
the w.ir is to fight it out. [Applause.]
Hut these peuee men say the North is
exhausted. Are we exhausted ? The cost
of tins war is liot one half of the profits of
ino country. c nave never been as
wealthy a? now, and there are three millions
of men in the North who have not
yet shouldered a musket in this war. Are
we exhausted f General Grant has the ro
bullion by the throat iu trontot Richmond,
and the General has told a United States
Senator that he would not let go his hold

Forrkht's Mrn.?it does a Confederate
good, says the Mobile Advertiser & Register,
to look at Forrest's men, and we most
confess we have enjoyed the sight and the
study of these hardy riders. Hough in exterior,
there is a manly devil may care air
about them that bespeaks men who have
followed their great leader iu many a foray
and charge, carrying terror to the ranks ot
their enemies. They are, too, the happiest
ami most cheerful soldiers we huve ever
looked upon. Disdaining sabres the rifle
(most ol tin in Sharpe n) and six-shooter are
the anus they delight iu. Kvcry one speaks
ol the alacrity and tvder of their movements.
liorhes, artillery and baggage were rernoveti
from the cirs on ib.ir arrival, in thd
time it usually takes a passenger train to
empty itself, aud it was remarked by a
gentleman who saw their arrival, that they
woul 1 have been ready to fight in tweuty
minutes after the car stopped. Wben we
saw them, knots of them were cleaning
their rifles and revolvers, as if they were
the principal objects of their solicitude.
These manly patriots look altogether
worthy of their great leader, and the rough
and brilliant military school in which they
have becu trained. Hurrah for Forrest's

I am glad to bear that the Coufstsspto

of things and will exert itself to the almost
to remedy late mishaps. Unless* I
have been misinformed, en event is- shoot
to ooeur which will bring joy to the people
of Georgia and disturb considerably the
serenity of Sheruuo. This event will best
announce itself.
It is also reported, on good authority,
that the laxity of the Coot-eriwt Bureau is
to be looked into?s laxity dot the law,
perhaps, and not to tbo carelessness of the
Bureau ofioers?to the end that the 200,000
men within the cooscript age, who are
now at large in the Confederate BtntjS, may
be gathered into the fold. Of the 2OO/)0O
not less than 40,000 are said to be detail*
ed in Virginia alone. In addition to the
vast number ot known, there is a Urge
number of unknown, persons liable to nuiitsry
duty. I am told that these "unknown

Something must be done to fill up nor

knocked off two thirds of his 500,000

remaining 300,000 will be needed to replaoo
the 100 days and three years' men,
whose term are about to expire. Bat
Qraut declares he wants oulv 100,000, and
we can readily see that such an addition
to the Yankee aruiioa will reqnire at least
half that number to be added to oar own
armies. This is no time for trifling cr dflay
; the crisis is upon us, and the State,
executives and the people must assist the
Government in meeting it promptly.

With no rebels within fifteen miles of as,
