ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SITUATION. Mr. Stanton informs us, per belletin last night, that despatches from General Sherman down to ten o’clock 00 Friday morving bad been received at the War Depart- ment, stating that bis army is concentrating at Atiants, ‘and thet bis troops are ali well and in good position. H gaye that Wilsoo and Steedman are keeping the rebel General Wheoler actively employed, and will probably gcoure him as Goneral Gillen did John Morgan—tbat is, extinguish him and destroy bis command. We see by the Richmora papers that General Hood reports to Gene tai Bragg, ur‘or date of the 6th, tbat Geueral Sherman “‘bas coatinved bis retreat towards Jonesboro.” Of course this is 8 canard which cannot bold good even in Ricbmoad. Goveral Sherman's letter describes exactly the kind of “retreat” ft was. After eacountering Hood's forces near Jonesboro’, and driging them in a disordered Aight soutvwards, Sherman “retreated” to Atlanta and ook quict possession of it, whore hiz army are now com fortwoly settled in camp around the elty, This is the “retreat” of which Hood brogs to Bragg.

General McClellan Repacieted by the Peuce Faction—Tae Question Scttied, There is trouble in the democratic camp. The ald party secession distemper of 1860 has broken out again. Vhe Hon, Keu Wood, of the Daily News, the New York oracle of the cop- ; periead peace faction, in a deliberate and eluborate «unifesto, repudiates General Me- Ciel'an, The General’s patriotic letter an- noune'ng hie acceptance of the Cuicago nomi- nut.on bas done the business. His peace plat-, form, which is the Union, and nothing but the Union, is the monstrous heresy which has brought down upon him the wrath of the dis- union peace faction. They reject him and atl his works, What is the prospect? Another democratic rupture and the election of 1860 over again. ‘We bad supposed that after a four years fast the seven titoe-honored principies of the democ- racy-the five loaves and two fishes—would rule tbe roast. But with the intractable cop- perbeads the principle of secession is para- mount. The Hon. Ben Wood thus states the case:—“The Cbicago platform’ promises, with its triumph, an immediate cessation of bostilk ties, nnd advocates a plan of reconciliation that ; evciy peace man can conscientiously endorse. We accepted it, and with it the candidates nomicated upon tke platform. But the can- didates end the platform cannot exist apart. The platform is the soul, the candidate is the body. George B. McClellan was uominated upon # platform that promises an immediate cessation of hostilities, and a convention of all the Sta es. Does he etand upon that platform to-day? He does not. He bas renounced the pluticrm in bis letter accepting the nomina- tion. It is as if the bridegroom should accept the brilu’s property and not her person. A bond \ke that is null and void. The peace party will not consent to have their principle .yed, and tien do homage to the betrayer.” ris ix the judgment of the Hon. Ben Wood, who claims to be the original inventor and builder, and who is, doubtless, a ruling apostle of the )eace democracy. Bui what remedy does he proposet He says “the democracy must seek o candidate who will stand upon their platform;” that if McCiellan does not withdraw the Chi- cago Convention, which is not dissolved, khculd be called together again, “and either remodel their platform to suit their nominee, or nominate a candidate that will suit their platform.” This is a fair remedy; but it will not work. If the Chicago pisiiorm be changed to accord with General McCieiiuc’s letter, this peace faction will re- ject both candidate and platform, while, with the couivation of a candidate endorsing the platform as it etands, the war democracy will bolt. There is a split. The two factions of the party canuot be reconciled. A rupture is prociaimed, and very soon, we apprebend, the apparent democratic harmony of yesterday will relapse into confusion worse confounded than ever. What can be the designs of this democratic disunion peace faction? McClellan’s platform invitee them to success. Why do they reject it? Because their sympathies and their pur- poses are identified with Jeff. Davis and his Southern coufederacy. Peace {is not their ob- ject. Tlcy are laboring to oreate discords, disseysiovs and scenes of factious and bloody violeuce in the North, in the interest of their master. They would give peace to the South una tbe victory to Jeff. Davis by exciting insur- rectieus aud rebellion in the loyal States. Their Cnic: platform embodies a threat of this ..ad. But General McClellan has disarmed them in flatly refusing to subscribe to their revolutionary pro- gramme. His Joyal supporters believe that be will be stronger without Ben Wood and tbe copperbesds than with them. This may beso; but according to the elections of aud the Chicago platform the copperheads are the lawmakers of the democratic party. ‘The quesiion recurs, what will Mr. Belmont do with his Chicago Convention? The note sounded by the Hon. Ben Wood will doubtless be resiynded to by Tom Seymour, Vallandig- hem, Long, Singleton, Voorhees and their Jeff. Devia peace followers East and West. So that the Obicugo platform, as @ sop to Cerberus, goes fer nothing. While it stauds, however, it iM repel many honest men from the ticket with which it is associated, in spite of McCiel- Jan's patriotic letter. Mr. Belmout, theu, should ¢ail his convention together again, in order to set aside its present copperbead peace policy for McVlelian’s solid Union platform. This will put McUlellaa right before the country. The i7th day of September is set apart for a uni- versal ratification of the Chicago platform and ticket. Tuat order should now be revoked, and in its place a call should be issued for an- other meeting of the convention, forthe pur pote of tr rnimg the copperheads adrift bag and baggay> Tue vewocratio Stats Conventiow.—This convention will ie held at Albany on the 14tb instant. If the democrats bebavo themeelves wisely they will nominate a ticket which will cerry tho State.

It is undeniable that the O14 Wigwam, on it« present platform, has complete control of this c.ty; and, should the couvention declare for pe Tammany will also have control of the Steve, and may nominate an independent ticke, s/h capital chances of success.

General Grant, in his letter compressing @ volume of matter into a few short paragraphs, eays that “all we want now fo°irenre an carty restomation of the Union is a deter ulved unity of seufiment North;” that the reves have now in their venks their last reserve. , including “old men and Little yoys;? that “they have rebbad the cradle und the grave equaily to gct their present furce;” that “besides what ibey lose in frequent siiqmisbes and battles they are now losing, frou: @esertions and other canses, Bt least one regiment per day,” and that “their, only hope now ¥s & divided North.” He bus. “no doubt that, ¢hey are exceedingly anxious about the Prosidtatial eleetion;” that “they hope a counter revolution—they hope the election of a peace \candidato;” that, “in fact, like Micawber, they Nope for something to turu up.” General Grant then takes the occasion to warn “our peace friends that if they expect peace from separation they are very muct: mnis- taken;” that “separation would be but the be- ginning of war,” and that peace on any terms |} weuld be purchased by ¢he meet degrading coucessions to the South. This is a very instructive: and encourazing summing up of the results nd prospects of the war; but itis coupled wivh one indispen- gable went. General Grant sys it is the want of “a determined unity of seutimeat North,” and in this connection he has his apprebeusions of “our peace frieuds” and ai peace cendi- date for the Presidency. These things, which still afford the rebels a ray of hope that “some- thing may tura up,” are to our tried and truaty General-in-Chief somewhat discoutaging. But his letter was written on the 16th of Augast, when the copperhead peace faction, with their boastful and impudent ciamor, from New York fo St. Louis, were threatening to carry the Chicago Convention, ticket and platform, body and breeches, over to the side of Jeff. Davis. But the rampant copperheads have since, at Chicago, been defeated, upon the ques- tion of a candidate, and, thougt, they flattered themselves that they had , secured an equivalent tor this loss ia a péace platform, General McClellan, the candidate, has stepped forward and deliberately kicked this poace platform out of his way. We will have no peace that does not secure the integrity of the Union, and till the rebels in the lump, or State by State, are ready for submission, he will prosecute the war. He canuot, as McClellan, the politician, give the lie to his whole career as McClellan the soldier of the Union. Here, then, substantially, General Grant’s great desideratur-—“a determined unity of sen- timent North” —is practically secured. This copperhead peace faction, with its disturbing cry of “peace om any terms,” is set aside by tho political standard bearer of the democratic perty. General McClellan has kicked ove: the double dealing Chicago peace platform, and has proclaimed; his own platform, and it is the greatest victory he has ever achieved. It re- duces the copperbeads to submission to the war democracy, or drives them out of the ta- bernacle. Ail the hopes, therefore, lately en- tertained by the rebel Jeaders of a Northern democratic diversion in their support are scat- tered to the winds. The practical unity of the North in support of the war is thus sccured, and, whatever may be the issue of the Presi- dential election, General McCleilan is and will be entitled to the thanks of the country for the quiet and effective manner in which he has demolished this disorganizing, copperhead, Jeff. Davis peace faction. 4 jet France axp ENGLAND on tHI3 ConvINENT.— A convention of provincial delegates, whose deliberations arelikely to prove of great mo- ment to this cquntry, is in session at Char- lottetown, Prinee Edward Isiand. It is true the sittings arey conducted with closed doors; but sufficientts known to invest the body with more political consequence than bas attended any convention held in the British Provinces for many years past. What is the purpose of this singulur convocation? Let us endeavor to divine. There % no doubt that Great Britain—if we take the/tone of the Eaglish pross generally, as well as the opinions of some prominent Britieh statesmen, as authorily on the subject— bas been for a long time inclined to change the present relation of Canada with the home gov- ernment, if not to get rid of her altogether. The recent withdrawal of British troops from Canadian soil is significant ia this connection. Now, what sort of sovernment does Great Britain wish to establish in Canada, in liea of the present? Certainly not democratic; for that would be building up an ally to the United Siates; and certainly not liberal; for the tendeucy of such is toward democracy. It is pretty clear, then, that if Great Britain desires to sever ber connection wich Canada she must design to erect that country into an independent kingdom or empire, with some secton of English royal blood upon the throne. There are already two empires on the American continent—that of Brazil and that of Mexico. The Brazilian empire was established by revolu‘ion, and npon the ruins of the Portugnese authority in Europe. The empire of Mexico bas been establishod—if it be established at all— upon the ruins of an outraged and cruelly op- pressed republic. Io the former case there was some deference shown to the right of the people to choore thelr form of government; but in the latter fiieve has Loen no euch concession: the ebains of (re people bhava keen wrought by a foreign mounreh ia the hands of a creature of bis bax been placrd the eceptre of the Mon. the Third, carrying ont the magui- poleon the First, has secured th the great Powers of Europe to ostablish the permanency of his throne and to ma‘ntain unsutlied the glory of Fraace. But Napoleon the First never contem- plated the subjugation of a free people on this continent, and furnisiing a prince of & despovic house to rale vvor them. On the contrary, the frat Nopoleon disposed of an empire in territory to us, and helped the young republic lo realize its succeeding days of greatnoss. Now Napo- aad Besue.
