The Richmond Examiner Of the 9Th inst
contains the following significant remarks upon
the October elections in the North. The hopes
hvowed for the re election of Mr LINCOLN, and
the ground on which it bases fear OF the cleo
ton of MCCLELLAN, as the only man who can a,
once unite the North and paralyze secession in
the South, are s,rikingly manifest in this article.
IL says.
According to the Yankee papers published
on the morning after the election. the Lincoln
party have carried Pennsylvania by IS 900 ma
jorty. Indiana by 10000, and Ohio by 10000.
Whether this il merely new fabrication. made
for the good of the army on the eve of battle, OF

would propose q convention OF States and ar

sions and unite them more completely than ever
in the determination 20 restore the Union by d.
pomacy or by arms. The chances of peace are
exactly the same. whether Lincoln or Mcclellan
is elected Neither would desist from assailing
