Davis’ foliowers to take life), Pendleton, who was op; to the war for the Union, would become President. The Governor quoted a conversation which Gen, Heiotzelman bad with Gen. McClelian, when the latter, on being in- formed that tbe former was Lee to take Richmond, enid:—“‘Do you waot to brieg on a general engsgoment?”’ But there were at that time only’ Sven thousand rebels to overcome @ben that coble old Dutch general wanted to press forward avd take the rebel capital. Iu an abie argument he atiemptea to show that Gen. McClellan, if elected, would have to abide by the platform upon which be was pominated; jor if he was placed tn power he would be surrounded by Seymour, Wood, Voorhees and all the so meu, clamoring for a r ‘or “theie majutaiped that the , having trampled pon the constitution, bad constitut: nal rights wow, save the right to be beg for treason when tho war was over, (Cheers,) He refuled the doctrine of non-coorctoa Of States, and Said that, in order to proserve the govera- mentirom destruction, he was ready for a ten y: war to exterminate the whele race of the Southera people.
