665 - L. Sept. 20; ed: 2/2 - "The Democracy defiantly shakes McClellan's
letter of acceptance, as an Indian does his war club, when the Peace-
at-any-price Platform is referred to. He has sworn to maintain the
Union, a sentiment which is very becoming for the 'Little Mackerals'
but the value of which is destroyed by the class of men who surround
him, and who would govern him in case he is elected."
"Pendleton and McClellan are not pulling together as can be seen
from Pendleton's statement concerning McClellan's order for the arrest
of the legislature of Maryland, which he terms 'the greatest invasion
of State Sovereignty that has taken place.' They also do not agree
upon the subject of drafting, etc.
"Nothing but a base surrender of the South could result in McCellan's
being surrounded by such advisers as Pendleton, Woods, and Seymour." (19)
