redeems Gen. McClellau from the charge of incapacity
lo form rt plan, if it bo (rue that all he has done and
lelt undone has hnd tlio definite objett of enhausting
nil wearying out the North, and bringing it to the
pint of accepting peace on any terms ho and -Mr.
lava can agree upon.
Wo haw faith to believe that this scheme, if it
*oro indeed entertained, has bceu defenied by iha
very policy of delay designed to ensure i
l)ad Itichuiond been taken last Kovembj
last May, it ia iu the nature of lhings that ..
opportunity of compromise might have been possible.
Rut the unbroken successes of Iho rebel artaa conse-
quent upon those delays—uDbroken except by the
,o indisputable victory of Rosuucranr. at l'errysville
-have put the rebels in a position to dictate and
„at to sue for terms. Nothing hut tlio recognition of
their independence, can satisfy them now. and we
believe they would turn n, deal car to Bunnell and
Fernaudo Wood, if thov oflared them nny olher term
thnn these. Thus far the delays or our campaign
been the salvation of the country. Now. c
they will assume a very different aspecl. Tl.e.y
'
censa or the republic is nt an end. Nothing

B policy of emancipation. If the rebellion e*r,
not he put down with ihc assistance of the slaves

setlled anew and lis society reorganized, then then-
nothing for it but to acknowledge the independence

dence by the Great Powers of Europe is imminent.
It impends over us Mid can he averted only by suc-
cesses on the soil of Ihe rebellion whieh shnll make
its overthrow no doubtful matter- And they must

he most serious foreign complications. The tal

Dickinson and Ilrowiison and Bancroft represent the

,y ihe Republic, the great Amur!
Nation in its territorial integrity. The vicissitudes
of the last filleen months have made hope and fe.
alternate in all thinking minds. And even now,
be light of the late elections in Pennsylvania and
,e Western States, it docs not yet seem sure that
. ,„„;,,, ia worthy of salvation. 11 not worthy, it
maot be saved, for nations, like individuals M
„-ork out their own salvation. It cannot and wOl
not be forced miraculously upon Ihe not, or e o or.
The ,uesiion ot. ivl.ieh that of life and death turns,
s whether more men in the Northern States love
.heir nationality holler than slavery 1 Whether they
choose to sink down into a second or third-rate
Power rather than Ibat slavery should go down and
black men have an even chance in the battle of life
ith white menl For this, wo apprehend, is the
ae statement of the case, all sophistries and lying
elusions put aside. We assume that it » now clear
that either slavery is lo be destroyed or the Confede-
racy to ho recognized. Mr. John Van Baren baa been
well censured for what he said in Cooper Instiluto
the other day, nud we imagine that the loud curses
with whieh his statements have been received by the
Itepublicans were more than counterbalanced by the
deep ones bestowed on his frantic ingenuousness by
his own party. Truth is not a sate tb.ng to say,
