Gener the Coming State Elcstions. _ nomination of General McClellan, when made known Wednesday afternoon, produced intense excitement among all classes of our citi- zens." The republicans looked somewhat serious about it, while the demoorats, with the excep- tion of a few ultra-billous copperbends, ap- peared to be in ecotacies. That the nomination is a strong one—the “strongest, perbaps, that coutd have been made by the demécracy—all will admit; buttbose enthuslastio McCiellan- ites who think that thelr chief will have nothing to do but “walk over the course”are pretty sure to find themselves most grievously mistaken. The race they have entered upon will be one of the toughest contests in our political his- tory. Mr. Lincoln is already in the saddle, and has the whip of patronage and the spur of power to aid him in eliciting all the speed pos- sible out of his republican charger; while the McClellan nag bas been only recently bitted, and is not yet, by any means, quite “bridle wise.” It is apt to start at every new copperhead fancy, and has been so heavily drugged of late with “peace” nostrums that any very violent or eudden blast on the war bugle might cause it to sby and come near throwing its very distiu- guished rider. One great difficulty in McClellan’s way 1s the inexperience of certain persons who have been put, or who havo put themselves, forward in this city as the managers of his cause, They write like sophomores and act like cager chil- dren. They are not practical men, but mere composers of ornate periods. Of the political history of our country they appear profoundly ignorant; and when pushed to the wall for the reasons on which they base tlieir belief, that a change of public opinion has taken place so great as to throw overboard Mr. Liacoln and elevate General McClellan in his stead, they can only mumble some vagne generalities touching an alleged “dislike and mistrust of Mr. Lincoln’s ruie” on the part of thepeople, and the undoubted popularity of their favored candidate, Now, all this kind of talk as to Mr. Lincotn’s alleged “unpopularity” and the “public ap- provai” with which Gen. McClellan is regarded must amount, for the present at least, to just about the value ofa pecknneasure of moonshine. That such items may finally have a great effeot_ in determining the result of the contest is not to bo doubted; but, up to the date of . this present writing, and until we sball have seen the issue ef the various State elections taking flees between now and next Octobor, they inust figure as two “unknown quantities” in our political algebra. No one can even guess how many republican votes Mr. Lincoln's “an- popularity” will take away from him, or Gea- eral McClellan’s “public approval” win over to the democratic side. “The cobesive power of the public plunder” is a vast and certain ele- ment te which too many politicians of the Me- Cleilan coterie fail to accord due weight. It is quite possible that thousands who are in the suike to-day with Mr. Liucoln may remain in the suiks and yet vote for bim at the decisive moment. The ties of party are bonds of adamant, requiring great original force of character to overcome, aud there are as yet no reliable indications that even in this momentous crisis of our history purty lines have lost one strand or fibre of their unhappy and demoralizing power. E of our two grent fe ns may beve family squabbles among themselves; but when in presence of the enemy their discipline is at once revived hy the consciousness of a common peril, and they close up their ranks, with eibow touching elbow, and all keeping time to the music of thew party bugles. We are now on the eve of iwo Siate electiona which will throw much light oa this vexed question of “the succession.” Vermont will vote for State officers four days from now, avd Maime’on the 12th instant. If the republicans increase, or even huld the majorities by wh. they carried those States in the two preceding yeats, tha prospects of the democratic Presi- vomines will be seriously, though not | perhaps hopelessly, clouded; white if tl “id | crats can curry, or even go close to carrying, ove dr both of these republican State holds, the shoddyites and horse moy at once begin paying their bomag } Geveval McClean as “next President of the } nica.” It was ihe vote of ihe State of wet on the 12th of September, which gave coatta first sesurance of success to the pro peraie fortunes of the Jackson parly is the great contest of 1648. That vote startied the country by @ et { General a personal strength in quarter the A; and fits ome ot was bailed by the orators and promes in lis interest as “the Stur in the East”—a bright promise of the snocess which was so soon to be ratified by the aco'aim of our whole people. Lei ‘the ealvation of the Union. rents of General MoCletian, therefore, not o loudly until after {ue rogults of the Vermont aod Mrine elections shall bave bee made known. The “Green Mountain boys are sturdy “war democrats,” as they have proved ia the great old Army of the Potumse, wud everywhere that they bave been in contact wich the enemy; and the State of Maine may g ome “the Siar iu the Hast” of General MeVlellan, as formerly it waa to the political fortunes of NeClelian’s most illuetrious proto- type, General Andrew Jackson.

It seoms thai the war bas not yet taught us to put aside our polities and to sacrifice our partiesn feelings for the good of the country. The coming election Will boa close party struggle; but it can at !esst be con- Aucted in patriotic manner, and caz be di- vested of much of the vulgarity that has hilher- to distinguished our political campaign” The democratic and republican journe ds and orators beve begun the work in s wrong spirit, Still, ws the canvass is just opened, it is not too late for them to repent and reform. Mr. Lincoln and General McClellan stand upon different platforms and represent different par- ties; but this is no reason why they chould aot be treated as gentlemen by their political op- ponents, Let itbe understood at the very out- set that Mr. Lincoln is not “ a scoundrel,” and that General McClellan is nob “e traitor,” and we shall get through the canvass much more creditably and comforisbly. But if these phrases are to be the keynotes of the discussion how long will it be before demo- crats and republicans will sheot and stab each other in our streets? Already the Zridune has| started the electioneering Ite that Genersl Mo- Clellan offered his aword io tha rebels before he joined the Union army, and the World has retorted by threatening to expose “the in- famy—yee, that’s the word, fufamy—of the White House?’ Now, what docs this d'sgrace- ful style of controversy effect? How many votes does it win? It makes partisan journal- ism despicable nnd excites partisan passions, that is about all it amounts to. We inaisi4hat it shall be stopped, and we propose to tak measures to stop it. Anotber bad feature of this canvass ts the secrot society business. Tho democrats are said to have several secret political societies, and the republicans certainly hare the Loys! Leagues, whioh are secret associa- tions, having their headquarters in private arsenals, All suvb societi¢s are un-American: They sre unpatriotic. They lead to disorder aud to bloodshed. If the republicans have vay of the virtues to which they iay claim uey will disband these leagues at once. If tho democrata ere as patrictic as they profe to be they will have nothing more to do wilh secret. ssssociations. ‘Yoere is no igswe involved in the coming eleo- tion which may not be diseussed epenly. No oaths or grips or passwords are required. We do not believe balt of the stories started about the Knights of the Golden Gircle, the Sons of Liberty, and the like; but where there is so muck smoke there must be a Hiile fire, aud that fire ought to he extinguished. Fair, freo and frank discussion js the only thing seeded to settle this election satisfactorily. Weadvise the stump sfeakers, lecture: erators and editors on both sides to couceal nothiag, ex- cept their ignorance, and to say nothing vele meniy,exocept their preyers. If they want to go armed les it be with a copy of the consti- tution and a good dictionary hetead of a re- volver and & sword caue, 8 i we carry this election qnietty, and the beaten party submit pee cefulty, we shall have proven ourselves a great peopie.

The order recognizes that the men in the rebel armies have been kid- rapped and forced into their present position, and tenders the assistance of the United States to free them from the tyranny that keeps them there, Already the rebel losses by desertion are very large, but if this order becomes known to the rebel soldiers they will be much larger, THE INDIAN, OUSRAGES.
