THE M'CLELLAN MEETING.
The Herald referring to the McClellan mass meeting recently held in that city, says:
Mr. Lincoln may see in this demonstration a fair example of the heartiness with which the people will come together at the shortest notice to utter the most wholesale and absolute denunciations of his past actions and his present policy. Men were never more universally agreed upon any point than they are now agreed in disgust with the administration over this whole country; and unless something decided is done between this and November this condition of the public mind will continue, and will completely defeat Mr. Lincoln. Nothing can make a sufficient impression upon the public mind to change it greatly on this point, unless it looks to the cessation of hostilities. An armistice, such as we have recommended, with the appointment from either side of delegates to a national convention, to agree on terms of reconciliation, would affect the country immensely, and that is Lincoln's last chance to affect the country in any way favorable to him.
