On the other hand, the Boston Post,
the ahlest supporter OF Mcclellan among
the journals OF New England, and the
| fiirest democratic paper In the whole
country, gracefully accepts the result
aud gives some excellent advice to Its
party. 1t says
1T win be the duty OF good citizens
to submit TO the decision @! 'he m''Nr'-

The New York Times speaks in this
WISE
"The man has been but poor stu:
cent of the Anglo Saxon nature, who
has not learned mat th.a national spirit
is the strongest elementin its blood, IL
is lat quality of our race which has
/, made England the foremost natloa OF
Europe. War, instead of weakening it
only inteDsities it, Not one soli-
tary Instance can be found, either in
English history or in American history,
in which a party ever acquired power
! by working against war in which the
nation was once fairly embarked IL
has been tried over and over again nom
the first existence Of parties, but has
= uniformly failed If this has been the
= uniform result where nothing but the
l. pride or the material interest of the ma
:, tion was concerned, the natural impulse
must operate with vastly greater force
when the life of the nation is at stake.
: Gen. MCClellan'S strongest
If support. has come from our adopted
I citizrns-the very portion Of our people
= who have none of that uJoyH sentiment
They cast great multitude of votes,
; and In ordinary times hold the balance
OrpOwer But ia "A struggle like this
J, they could accomplish nothing. When
Il the life OF the nation is concerned, the
- sovereign power is sure to be exercised
NV them who have sprung from the soil

the same rCsistlesS sweep we have Isl
seen.

The New York Evening Post says -
I'VE do not exult in the even
st OF the election of yesterday, as tn
nd success of one party over another-fa
Nd from it-but as another evidence OF th
nd ability of the American people to gov
ern themselves, and to maintain popula
he institutions on this continent. For tn
az first time in the history of mankind,
nation was called upon to express 1t
III will through the forms Of a popsla
en- election, in regard to the conduct of
III. civil war, and assuredly there wa
&C. something sublime in the calmness an
to determination with which it resolved
=, bear the heavy burdens of the crsi
'A0 rather than surrender the principle {
las its institutions. In the face of an az
lst ministrative management that many oil
it not like; in the face Of several heav
ITO conscriptions of troops; in the face
:, an accommodating debt and a severe tai
"a alton, and against all the machnatior
no of enemies abroad who sweep the sei
{: with their corSairs, the people have sal
nat let the war go on until the suprema(
ems of the Constitution and laws shall

mendable spirit ,
in eff Gen. Mcclellan had been success

oh. have taken him at his word az
