That Abraham Lincoln, President oi
the United States, has placed bsfors the
world the following official circular: a

- Washington, July 18, 1864. !
To schoss u may copcern':--Any propo-
sition which s1bssces the restoration of
peace, the Integrity Of The whole Union,
and the sABoNDQxaExT or SLAVERY, and
which comes ~ and with 40 authority that
can control The armies Of the United
States, will be received ard consi1 1ersd By
the Executive Government Of The listed
States, and will be met BY liberal terms,

Also let il be''known that the rebers
chief organ, the Richmond Enqwissr, says:
I'VE can make better terms Of peace
with. an anti slavery fanatic than with IN
earnest Unionist. W -. -. =

Whether we look at this nomination
in the light Of peace or war, we prefer
Lincoln to Mcclellan!
"McClellan is BY far the more danger.
ous candidate Tor u.s.
The Macon (Georeia) appeal says:
"Ths accession of conservative Dem.
ocrat like Mcclellan to the Presidency,
who would conduct the war on more In.
name principles, who would repeal the
emancipation proclamation, and probably
make overtures to the South to return to
the Union, with guarantee of all consti
tutional rights, would do infinitely more to
paralyze the South, and build up recon.
struction party in our midst-a most fatal
cslamity-than the combined efforts Of the
party in power" q.
And the following sentiments of lead
ing republicans should be needed:
Ideclare upon my responsibility a. a
Senator, that the liberties Of this country
are in more danger today from the cor
ruptions and from the prohigacy prscticed
in the various departments Of the govern.
ment, than they are from the enemy in the
6eld.-Johs r. Hale.
In respect to Mr.. Lincoln, I continue TO
hold exactly the sentiments contained in
my letter Of excepsance. l consider that
bis administration has been politically,
militarily and financially failure, and
that it's necessary continuance is q cause
Of regret for the country.
There never was grander unanimity
IN country than was exhibited here at
the fall Of Sumter; and the South was
powerless in the face of it. But Mr.. Lin.
coin completely paralyzed this generous
feeling. John c. Fremont.
We have been involved for nearly four
years in an abolition war. The infuen-
ces that drove North Carolina snd Ten
nessee from the Union, extorted An eman'
cipa,ion proclamation, as practical aud
effective only in giving union, strength
and determination to rebellion-a procla>
mation to which the first slave has not
owed his freedom, for it is only operative
where our armies 60, and without it our
armies would have gone faster and farther.
Abolition influences, in Congress and
10 the Cabinet, have don bled the millions
Of dollars, and deepened the rivers of
blood, spent and shed in war, which, 30
long as such influences and counsels sway
the government, promises nothing but an
iutermidable conflict or an inglorious ter
mination.- ThxrloU Weed. I:a.. a.
ID The President has greatly presumed on
the aforbearance which the supporters of
his administration have so long practiced,
in view Of the arduous conflict in which
We are engaged, and the reckless ferocity
of our political opponents.

port il not Of map that the authority
Of Congress is paramount and must be
respected that the whole body Of the
Union men Of Congress will not submit to
be impeachad by him of rash and uncon.
stitutionsll legislation; and if he wishes
our support, he must oonfne himself to
his executive duties-to obey and execute
not mske the laws-to suppress BY arms
armed rebsllion, and leave political re-
organization to Congress- Ben. Wade
