GREELEY says that "two-thirds of the
American people, North and South, desire
peace" and yet he sustains Mr.. Lincoln,
who declares there shall be no peace un.
less the slaves of the South are freed
knowing full we'll that the South will con-
tinue the war for forty years, or until
there is not man left to defend it, before
such proposition will be acceded to-
Peace will never come to the American
people so long as the present party rules
the North. They will never offer terms
upon which the South can with honor
cease Fighting. The AbOlitionists do not
want peace, With the Union as it was.-

for the Abolition party, Sam Brahpan

California by 10000 majority. No sober
man, honestly intending to pay, If be

surd bet for any many with As much
brains as an oyster knows he. Wiaiose Il
But the Supreme Court Reports show
that Sam Brannan has bet big money!
before now, and that instead Of standing
square up to the fodder like . man, atad
standing his losses, he has whiningly ap.
pealed to the Law for redress, and has
been released from his honest obligations
through the subtletes Of the statutes.---
It is fair to presume, from his antecedents,
that if Sam Brannan loses his bet, land
he will lose it as sure as the Lord reigna
in heaven,) he will have the stakeholder,
Wm. 7. Coleman, enjoined from paying
the stakes over to the winning party
Appealing to the courts, which were
friendly to him before, he will have the
bet decided illegal, and Sam viii cOme

MCCLELLAN AND TIE MExIcAN.--One Of
General McClellan'S biographers gives an
amusing illustration of the nerve and
muscle Of our standard. bearer. Among
other incidents which occurred during his
service in Mexico" says this biographer,
Is one which created no little amuse-
ment at the time. When sbout twelve
miles from Puebla, the young Lieutenant
was out accommodating unattended, when
he observed tall engineer officer Of the
Mexican army near by. The discovery
was, however, not made a moment too
soon, as the Mexican had espied the Lieu
tenant, and was advancing towards him.
A mutual demand for surrender was
made, and sclffle commenced, resulting
IN Mcclellan cOllaring his more gigantic
opponent, and taking him into camp
That is the way Mcclellan served the tall
Mexican.
And that Is the way he will serve the
tall Ilinoisan. Mcclellan has grappled
the tall Ilinoisan; the "scuft1e" has
commenced; and, like its predecessor in
the chapparrel, it will result in Mcclellan
collaring his moro gigantic opponent
and taking ham into camp" When, on
the morning after the second Tuesday In
November, the shouts Of millions Of free
men shall fairly tempest the heavens, the
world may know that the game and glori'

McClellan's letter Of acceptance had not
been seen in one, tenth of the State. 1t
reached there only on Saturday before the
election. The Republicans began to rush
to bis standard. The State, which is rid.
den by contractors, would probably have
gone Democratic, if the vote had been a
week later. The truth. as we happen to
know, makes the radicals shake in their
shoes here and at Washington. 1t could
not be strange if all the New England
