RECALL OF MoCLEILAS.-Ths people ere de-
mandng of the administration to recall McClel-
Ian, that the country in its trying hour may
have the benefit OF his superior skill and genius,
This demand is so strong that even the radical
journals like the Post aud Commercial join in
the ory. Mr.. Lincoln must not think from this
that the public will be satisfied in placing him
in command while he retains Stanton in the
War Department to interfere and upset all
his plans and defeat his efforts to crush out the
rebellion. The only hope for Old Abe Is in
the immediate removal of all such Marplots as
Stan ton and Halleck, and in giving Mcclellan
a command commensurate with his ability and
skill. Has Mr.. Lincoln patriotism enough left
to do this?

THE MIX IN the CocoASur.-Thc London
Tines says that 'the best service" that Eng
land "can render to the cause Of peace Is to
let events run their course, and not TO inter-
ferc in American politics by word or deed" !"
the meaning Of which is that John Bull is be-
ginning to discover that lis past active sympa-
thy for Jen. Davis, in words and deeds, is Likely
to prove bad speculation.

THE CHICAGO CoNvENrIoN.-The Boston
Courier, model copperhead concern, says
"We cannot help thinking that the NEW YoRk
HERALD is needlessly anxious about the future
doings of the Chicago Convention;" that "there
will be great many men Of sound judgment
as we'll as true patriotic spirit in that anx-
iously awaited assembly" and that eve think
the spirit of the Convention will be far above
any low, selfish party views" and so on.
The men Of ''sound Judgment and true patri-
otto spirit" referred to are doubtless the men
Of the Albany Regency and other
men Of the same stripe, who are so
"far above low, selfish party views"
that they deliberately brought about
the disruption Of the party and the country at
the Charleston and Baltimore conventions Of
1860. We confess that, between a peace plat
form and war platform at the shent-per-shent
Convention at Chicago, we fear there will be
another collapse. A wag Of the Bohemian
school has said that "if Grant whales Lee, then
the democracy at Chicago will 60 war; but
that il Lee whales Grant, then the Convention
will 60 for peace" Entertaining some such
idea as the only chance for democratic har-
mony, we confess that we are anxious that
Grant shall whale Lee" out of his boots. What
says our Boston peace contemporary? Is he for
Grant or Lee? A fair question. Let US have an
honest answer.

States paid damages; aud the Unit d Statss has
propo ed . mixed commission to determine
this class Of cases between the two govern
ments.
Documents like this. though they appear to
represent so much that is merely trivial, repre-
sent what is really very important In the his
tory OF nations. Here Is the expression of all
The ianced grievances that Englishmen have
suff red at our hands in the past three years.
In th document is an official and formal &C
count of the circumstances that have been
mado use of to embitter the English people
against the people of the United States
during that time. In that bitterness
grows up the spirit that eventually
plunges great nations into fierce and cruel
wars; and not only is that bitterness Of spirit
excited, but many wars have actually had their
origin in questions just like those that are agi-
tated here. When we consider this, and when
We consider how few of this large number of
claims are honestly made, and in how many
cases the claimants knew that they had no
rights, and only used the British government as
tool, it certainly seams as If that government
ought to make some provision for the punish
ment Of such of its subjects a. make claims for
indemnity in the full knowledge that they have
no right to any In ono of the ancient repub-
lies of Greece they had wise provision against
new laws Whoever proposed new laws went
into the public assembly with rope round his
neck. II his law was adopted he was regarded
as public benefactor; if it was rejected his
neck was broken with his own rope. Men
were careful how they proposed new laws
And II every Englishman who claims indem-
nifty Of the British government were certain Of
severe punishment if his claim were found to
be not . real and honest ono the list OF claims
would be shorter.
