LINCOLN OR MocLELLAN.

An able EDITORIAL on tho "Poiitical Prospect"
In yesterdays New York Tens closes with the
following appeal 70 every friend Of the Union,
Under this improved condition Of the public
mind, we hope for q cordici and hedfty pnion of
Union men q, support Of The Union cdadiddtes.
Whatever differences Of opinion or Of feeling
nave hitherto prevailed, should now be laid
aside. The time has come when they can no
longer be INDUCED without peril and guilt--the
peril Of running the country, and the guilt so
great q crime involves. Nothing can be more
Gel tain than that Lincoln or Mcclellan must
lie President for the next four years-that the
spirit OF the Baltimore platform or the spirit OF
the Chicago platform must lule the public
councils, and shape the dc1tinles OF this great
Republic. No other choice is possible.
We hear talk Of new conventions, and o
change Of candidates. An uhis 70 folly, or porse.
Mr.. Lincoln has been regularly and fairly NOM
mated, with great uuanimlty, by a full conven-
tlon Of the Union party, in which all shades OF
sentiment and opinion were duly represented.
That convention has dissolved, and no man or
body of men has tho power to repeal or change
Its action. Any attempt to do so, whatever
may be its motive, can only check the progress
Of the Union canvass, paralyze the efforts Of
Union men, and thus aid directly the election
Of the opposing candidate. Nor can any change
be made by the Opposition, either In their cam
dldate or platform, that will not damage their
chances OF success. The stakes are set. The
issues are made up. The candidates are regu.
larly and duly In nomination. All that remains
for every citizen is To choose his side, take his
place, and fight manfully for the cause he do
cides TO espouse.
We hope to hear no further talk Of shifts or
changes in the Union ranks. We trust all
thought Of Buffalo or Cincinnati conventions
will be abandoned. The issues as they stand
are broad enough and clear enough for every
body's action, and the respective candidates
are true and fair exponents Of the parties they
represent. Let the contest go on

FACTS TO BE REMEMBEaEp.

That no man supports the Union nomination
made at Baltimore who ever stood in the ranks
Of the rebel army, and fired upon "the old
nAg." That no man, with truth, can say the
same Of the supporters of Geo. B. Mcclellan
upon the Chicago platform. AcClellan's sup
porters are sympathizers with the traitors who
stand behind rebel breastworks and fire their
deathly missiles upon the supporters of the
Union.
The people should remember this.
