LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 1, 1864.

It is satisfactory to fine that Mr. LINCOLN'S re-
election is by no means so certain as his friends and
ardent admirers would have the world believe.
This is an important step gained, at all events, for
it cannot be denied that a prolongation of his tenure
cf office would bode ill for the interests of peace,
and be a blow to the expectations of those who are
seeking a peaceful issue to this protracted war. The
fact is, that matters have been pushed too far, and
because at first there was so much eicitement mani—
fested concerning the war, Mr. LINCOLN has
made the mistake that the feeling would continue
in its first vigour even when the circumstances that
gave rise to it had so materially changed. In this
he will bo undeceived in all probability before very
long, and it will be all for the best if it prove so, for
the interests of all demand a speedy settlement of
affairs. There is a strong feeling springing up in
the States that too much sacrifice has been made
already for en idea, and that some compromise
should be made. Mr. LINCOLN'S dream of success
is, therefore, very indefinite, and it will be seen
that all accounts from America agree in asserting
that a reaction has taken place in the minds of
many who hitherto have been stedfast adherents to
the cause of the Union. It must be confessed that
enough has occurred to damp the ardour and quench
the enthusiasm of even more inveterate disputants
than these combatants, if such they could be. We
hear of unparalleled 1053e3 and injuries
to trade and commerce, but with these
and hundreds of additional evils, who has
yet been able to tell us of one decided gain ?
There is neither gain nor glory to be found in the
war on the Federal side at all events. The Con-
federates have made themselves most conspicuous
by their courage and constancy, but they have had
a cause to fight for. Their independence has been
their slavery, but their opponents have been put to
their wit's end to fired an equivalent to this stirring
incentive. They have shouted the Union to little
purpose, and now, it is universally admitted that
the restoration of the Union is impossible. They
then had recourse to the notion of slavery, but that
has also failed then). It is, then, not be wondered
at, that slowly but sorely a sentiment has sprung
up which condemns the further persistence in a
war which is grievous, costly, and unproductive of
effects- A strong petty of Democrats are in favour
of au armistice with the view of coming to terms.
In ahert, it mey be prernieed from the intelligence
received on all sides that a strong will is ;rowing
tip. It mAy be very possible, as yet, for interested
parties to shut their eyes to it, but no less surely i,
the tide rising which is destined to submerge their
Outs in its gulphs. We may he, however, disap,
pointed if we aro in too great a hurry, for these
things take time, and it ie idle to expect a mighty

war to cease in a short time. Ii is something gained
that any indications of a pcacE.,ful tendency are ob-
servable, and it will he our anxious task to watch
for further revelations the same satisfactory
tendency. It will not he surprising if
the prolongation of the war does not, in

the end, make mere Secessionists than
Caere were at the commencement of the out-
