Under this apprehension we would respect fully call the attention of President Lincola to the policy in favor of which the people of the loyal States have so emphatically pronouucedl their judgment, in the late national election, from Maine to California. The Baltimore plat- form, upon which Mr. Lincoln was placed before the country for a re-election, declares in favor of the war, aud of the “determination of the government not to compromise with rebels, nor to offer any terms of peace except such as may be based upon an unconditional surrender of their hostility, and a return to their just alle- giance to the constitution and tue laws of the United States.” The next resolution endorses the employment of negroes in the army and the emancipation proclamations of the Presi- dent, and, declaring slavery the canse of the war and the strength of the rebellion, urges “sucb an amendment of the constitat: as visio: 11 terminate and forever pro the existence of slavery witbin limits of the jurisdiction of the United States,” In opposition to Mr. Lincoln upon this y form, General McClellan was placed belor peo,ie by the Chicago Shent-per-sheut Conven- tion, upon that copperhead pintform which de- claved the war “a failure,” and that © jns bunanity, liberty and the public welfare de- mund that immediate efforts be made for a ces- sation of hostilities, with a view to an ultin convention of ull the States, or other peace moans, to the end that at the earliest practical moment peace may be restored—(not on the patriotic airs, and the whole affair passed o!? to the per- fect satisfaction of ail present.

In the facts thus developed there will be found a curious coincidenco with the movements that have taken place in Mexico, St. Domingo and Pern, ‘on the part of France and Spain, and which position in favor of the enemy. Between these two platforms the people of the loyal States, through their ballot boxes, from the Atlantic Ocean to the broad Pacific, have emphatically decreed that the war is not “a failure,” and that there shall be no “cessation of hostilities” in order to get up “a convention of all the States,” or the “other peaceable means’ proposed at Chicago. In brie’, the people bave signally repudiated the ¢ ZO + peace platform and ratified the Baltimore war platform. Here, then, we come to the policy marked out by the popular voice of the nation for Mr. Lincoln to pursue. It is aot “a cessa- tion of hostilities,” with a view to negotiations for peace, but a vigorous prosecution of the wor till the rebels are bronght to the point of submission to the Union. It does not involve ademand for submission, requiring, as a pre- Tieinary step on the part of the rebellious States, the abolition of siavery, but it leaves this thing to be accomplished through an amendinent of the federal constitution, as pro- vided for in that instrument. ‘This is the will of the people. They have so proclaimed it. There can be no mistake about it. They have said to Mr. Lincolo, “Push on the war, bring the revolted States to the ultimatum of submission to the constitution ag the jaws. and then restore them to the Union: buat leave the siavery question to be seitled in an amendment of the constitution of the United States.” This tine of action is the policy and the duty of the administration. It is the policy of the constitution; it is the will of the people. If President Lincoln is satisfied that the rebels ara reduced to the point of ex- s it is evident they are be is free to hold ont to them a generous amnesty, upon the simple conditioa of their subm’ n to the constitution and the laws of the Union: but he bas no right. no authority from the coustitu- tioa. or from the Baltimore platform, or the people, to interpose the condition preceden’ of the abolition of slavery. e only ask that President Lincoln, in prosecuting the war and in proposing terms of peace, shall stick to the principles upon which be was nominated, and which bave been ratified a# a compact between him and the people of the loyal States, The vom diturhance among x tot of young | cose is very sitnple, clear and conclusige. Tur Curcaco Trinuse on Wrro axp Gare ney. We transfer to this paper a scorching article from the Chicago Trivune on Weed and Greeley, as the Marplots of the York republican party. The Chicago radical, who strikes right and left with the evergy of a border ruffian, tells some wholesome truths of Weed and Greeley, and likewise of the New York Central Railroad asd the Albany Re- gency. We especially commend this good ad- vice of this Chicago plilosopher to all con cerned, to wit :—that Greoley’s peace notions have done no good to his party: that “ the mischievous trash which bas appeared over the signature of T. W. has been exceedingly nutritious and palatable to copperheads;” that the wranglings between T. W. and Il. G. must be setited in some way. and thot the adminis- tration party in this State must “put on the whole armor of republicanism, withbut the trimming of Raymond, the backstiding of s Greeley. or the infidelity of Weed.” This hits the nail mpon the head every time: for, ve Raymond hae beea! a troublesome trimmer, Greeley a bothering hackslider, and Weed « damaging party infidel in his shoddy coat of many solors We bave the right to expect ashacp reply from Gree- ley, a trimmer from Raymond, and another traxby rigmarole from Weed. We might as well! have this business settled now ae at any other time. New Fracrionat Ounnency.—We are glad to perceive that the government has decided upon iseuing @ new fractional currency in @ shape which will contribute very much to public convenience. The paper Alty ceot currency and that of the denomination of ten and five cents are now of the same size, go that it is ex- ceedingly difficult to distiaguish one from the other, especially at night.

The Philadelphia cathe- dral, atthough a magnificent structure, will not be equal in size or in beauty to the edifice in New York, whose foundation was laid by the late Archbishop Haghes, and which, we trust, wilt be completed by the present Archbishop McCloskey. Ts is now eight days since General Sherman “evucnated’ Atlanta, according to the Rich. moni papers, and the simple fact that he did evacuay® Atlanta on the 12ch inst. is still the only thing that we positively know of bis re cent movements. No communicution hae been had with bis army since that date, and of course the numberless articles in relation to his move- Richmond papers are either silent on the sub- ject, or they aiso theor.z, and are, in all proba- bility, no better informed of Sherman’s where~ odious | prodigals.

They do not always receive that kindness and Courtesy to which we think they are entitled. Our citizens should regard the wounded vete- rans especially with every evidence of sympa thy and respect. They are the honorable me-| moriais of sacrifice in a great cause, and as such lave a claim upon the good will of every one. Bevides, itis a remarkable fact that the veteran soldiers are among the best behaved portion of the community. The men who are at the front will have a substantial mark of the kindly feelinggaf the people of this city on Thanksgiving Day; and those who are at home should not be forgotten.

There is this differ- enee. however: that the latter made a show of constitutional forms in their proceedings, and. by means of packed conventions, obtained a pretended sanction to them. From the state- ments of the Toronto Leader it appears that even this flimsy contrivance will not be resorted to, and that the proposed federation of the provinces will be carried into effect without its being submitted to a popular vote. [n answer to inquiries put to him ata dejeuner given to the delegates at Toronto, the Hon. George Brown made a specific delaration to that effect, and in his paper, the @lobe. a number of articles have since appeared confirming it. The con- sequence is universal indignation and discor- tent on the part of the people of the provinces, and adetermination not to allow # few politi- cians to carry out a revolution of this magni- tude without their having something to say in the matter. All this bears out the opinion that we re- cently expressed in respect to the origin and ‘ct of the federation scheme. The mode in the news from the Southern people, since there is an easier explanation of their silence. They have no news, and, as that is itself an alarming fact, they do not state it. It is of course ap- parent that Sherman's first care in his progress is to cut ail telegraph wires, and to inter- rupt, break up and destroy all railroads or other mail routes. All rebeldom knows that Sherman is on an advance further into the rebel territory, just as the North at one time knew that Lee was in Pennsylvania, and at another that Early was in Maryland; but the General takes care that they shall have no more particular {futelligence than that. We must wait for positive knowledge until Sher- man himself shall march or fight his way through this mystery. and come out into the broad light of the coast live, either on the Gulf or the Atlanti In the meantime we may naturally suppose that these eight days have been eventful and glorious ones for our cause. By the map we give to-day the whole of Georgia snd Alabama, and theretore every possible line that Sherman might take, will be seen at a glance. [t will be seen, also, how far away to the westward, at Corinth and Florence, are Beauregard and their captivity. The British Prize Steamer Lucy.

The Opera in Brooklyn, ‘The subscription season opened iast evening with Rigoletto, Mrs. Van Zandt making her second appearance in the rote of ia. The effect of the new arrangement upoa the appearance of the bouse was marked, almost every one being in (ull dress, This was desirable im many respects, but more particularly tn inducing many to attend for fashion’s sake who are otherwise 1udiderent to this clase of entertainment, Mrs, Ven Zandt’s reeep- tion was at first ratber cold; for our good neighbors acrogs the water are not given to encouraging young aspl-; rants lke this lady. When they get hold of an artist who has the stamp of a great reputation, and about whom they can make no mistuke, then they give way to a litte, natural jeeting. This disposition rendered the success of which it is sought to work it omt exhibits ina | Hood, with the only force available for the pro- | sire, Van Zandt Inst evening all the more grateful to her. strong light the distrust which the British gov- ernment entertains of the favorable disposition of the people of Canada towards republican institutions. It is afraid to submit the qnes- tion to a popular vote, lest it should develop in an unmistakable manner this feeling. Hence an effort will be made by the leading public men in the provinces, who, for the sake of their personal interests, are averse to every- thing tending to annexation to this country, to stifle the popular voice. This is the meaning of Mr. George Brown’s declaration: that if the several legielatares would support the govern- ment fn pushing throng) the measure it was intended to carry it into effect without refer- ence to the poople. It will be seen by the tection of auy point in the Guif States, for they who talk of organizing at this hour to resist Sherman and his veteran army, talk, of course, the wildest nonsense, and do not know the significance of the words they use. The force that is to be thrown in Sherman’s way, must—to haye any chance for success-—be twice as large as Hood’s army--be very nearly ae large as Lee’s army—and must have been organized She bad to go through the slow process of warming up ber oudience, and this sbe did ina manner that surprised themeeives.

They have too much intelligeace not to perceive that their destinies are thus arbitrarily disposed of merely to ac- complish the objects of a policy upon this con- tinent which in no way consults their interests. Ever jealous, selfish and anserupulous, Great Britain docs not hesttate to sacrifice their peace and welfare to her desire to arrest our rapidly increasing political and commercial ascend- ancy. We do not believe. however, that the people of the provinces will allow themselves to be thus delivered over to the rule of a cen- tralized government such as is projected. Unless we are very much mistaken the scheme will not only be defeated, but will advance greatly that desire for annexation to the United States which, among the reflecting and patriotic portion of the people of the provinces, has never ceased to occupy a place in their thoughts. Turning to a point more remotely butscarce- ly Jess seriously affecting our interests, we find jn the Sandwich Isiands the seme policy suc- cesstully at work. There a revolution of a very grave character has already been worked ont, the King having set aside the old constitu- tion and prociaimed a new one, abolishing the vote by ballot and merging the House of Repre- sentatives into that of the Nobles, thus confer- ring arbitrary powers upon himself. That this has been done through the intrigues and advice of Great Britain is made palpable by the fact that she is now pressing upon him a protec- torate; for, withont some aid of this kind, he cannot hope to maintain himself in this position of antegonisin to his people. Once she forces it upon him her object will be secured; for these islands are the key to the Pacific and will control its commerce in the future. To our own trade such a disposition of them would prove a souree of the greatest annoyance and embarrassment, and every step in its power should be taken by our government to de- feat it. Thus on all sides it will be seen that the plans of the three Powers which originally undertook the invasion of Mexieo are approach- ing their full development, and that if the rebellion be pot soon crushed they will have time to work them ont undisturbed. — It is, therefore, more incumbent than ever upon Mr. Lincoln to place in hie Cabinet men upon whose patriotism, capacity and energy the nation can rely to defeat the schemes of its foreign as well ae its domestic enemies. Tar New Carsevras at Paitapenrina-- Philadelphia will witness a grand religious spectacle to-day, in the dedication to God of the magnificent cathedral of St. Peter and Si Paul, which has jost been completed—a core- mony which will be conducted with the asual pomp and imposing grandeur characteristic of the Catholic Church.

It shows one of the most remarkable changes in the popular mind to be found in all our politi- cal history. In 1860 Mr. Lincoln, though constitutionally elected to the Chief Magistracy, as good an actress ag shs isa singer.

This decisive change in the popular vole is principally owing to one circumstance. It ts the change of opinion in the border and slave States themselves, whose love for the Union has induced them to abandon their former bias towards the rebels, and to cnt loose from their association with the slave aristocracy. Thue Missouri, West Virginia and Maryland bave given Mr. Lincoln bandsome majorities, while Kentucky and Del.ware, both slave States though voting against him by a consid aggregate majority—have, nevertheless, given him a large vote, endotetng the great propos tion, even when supporting Genera!

As appears by tLe return of the votes for Presi dent, it was settled by the unarimous voice of le the people, and the verdict will stand. Never before was there ever dieploy nnaninity and determination by the peor le of this country in any Presidential contest: and since it is now certain that there is no potei- bility of the Union being destroyed, cither by the rebels in ton in the twenty-five loyal State t voted, the is every opportunity a magnanimous arrangement of the a culties i ntervering keep the North and apart.
