McClcllan in Notified or Ills onilnatioa and Accepts it. New York, Sap. 8. The Committee appointed by the Chicago Convention to notify Gen. MeClellau of his nomination met this morning at .St. Nicholas hotel. Nearly all the members of the Committee were pr-?.icnt. At one o'clock the Committee left the hotel ami

proceeded in carriftges to the mansion of j Gen. McClellan, in 31st street, where thev were received by the Gen. and Col. .Irnsing. After the ceremonies of introduction and a brief interview, the Committee presented to Gen. McClellan a copy of the proceedings of the Chicago Convention, and a letter advising him of his nomination. The General accepted tho nomination, and his btter to that effect will probably be formally presented to the Committee this evening. Besidea the Committee a large number of prominent gentlemen visited Gen. McClellan to-day. Among them were August Belmont, Peter tagger. Dean luchmond and others. The following is McClellan's letter accepting the nomination: Orange, N. J., Sept. 8. ' Gentlemen 1 have the honor to acknowledge the recipt of your letter informing mc of my nomination by the democratic national convention recently assembled at Chicago, as their candidate at the next election for President of the United States. It is unnecessary for me to say tr you that this nomination comes to me unsouirht. j I am happy to know that when the nomination was made, the record of my public hie was kept in view.

TIic Two Plat forma. The difference between the abolition platform, adopted at Baltimore, and on which Mr. Lincoln stands as the nominee for President, and the Democratic platform, adopted at Chicago, is this : Lincoln's platform says there can be no peace until slavery hall be abolished there shall be no compromise but that

the rebels must be compelled to lay down i lie n ill ma in lum juv;(i; ami UULUIIU UIOIKU submission to the authority of the administration, and acknowledgement of his unconstitutional edicts, ritooF. Resolved, That we approve the determination of the Government of the United States not to compromise with the rebels or 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 allegiance io the constitution and laws of the United States; and that we call upon the government to maintain their position, and to prosecute the war j with the utmost possible vigor, to the com plete suppression ol the rebellion in full reliance upon the self sacrifices, the patriotism, the heroic valor and the undying dovotion of the American people to their country and its free institutions.

PP.Ü0F. Kesolrcd, That this Convention does explicitly declare, r0' the scusc of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretcuec of military necessity or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself baa been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and rijrht alike trodden down, and the national prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice humanity, liberty and the bublic welfare demand that immediate effort be made for a cessation of hostilities with a view to an ultimate convention of all tha States', or other possible means, to the end that at the earliest possible moment peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.

Henry Clay on Abolition!, The following remarks of the great statesman, Henry Clay, on abolition petitions, are worthy the careful consideration of all good citizens, and should be read by every one. Sir: I am not in the habit af speaking lightly of the possibility of dissolving this happy Union. The Sen ite knows that I

Uave tiePrccated alius ions,o:i urdiuary O'Jca sions, to that direful event. The corn 4ry will testify that, it there beany thiii in the history of my public career worthy of recollection, it is the truth and sincerity of my ardent devotion to its lasting preservation. Hut wc should be false in our allegiance to it, if we did not discriminate between the imaginary and real dangers by which it may be assailed. Abolition should no longer be regarded as an imagmarv danger. 1 he abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed in their present aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free stetes as one mnn against the inhabitants of the slave states. Union on the one side will beget union on the other. And this process of reciprocal consolidation will be attended with all the violent prejudices, embittered passions, and implacable animosities which ever degraded or deformed human nature. A virtual dissolution of the Union will have taken place, while the forms of its existence remain. The most valuable element of Union, mutual kindness, the feelings of sympathy, the fraternal bonds, which now happily unite us, will have been extinguished for ever. One section will stand in menacing and hostile array against the other. The collission of opinion will be quickly followed by the clash of arms. I will not attempt to describe scenes which now happily lie concealed from our view. Abolitionists themselves would shrink back in dismav and horror at the contemplation of desolated Gelds, conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, rnd the overthrow of the fairest fabric of huiian government that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man Xor should these abolitionists flatter themselves that, if they succeed in their object in uniting the people of the free states, they will enter the contest with numerical suoerioritv that must insure victorv. All history and experience proves the hazard and uncertainty of war. And we are admonished by holy writ that the race is not to the swift, no. the battle to tho stxr.ng. Hut. if they were to concjuor, whom would they conquer? A foreign foe one who had insulted our Hag, invaded our shores, and laid our country wate? Xo. sir; no. sir. It would bo a conquest withont laurels, without glory a self, a .suicidal conquest a conquest of brothers over brothers, achieved by one over another portion of the descendants of common ancestors, who, nobly pledging their lives their ljitunes and their sacred hoinr, had fought and blod, side by side, 111 many a hard battle on laud and ocean, severed our country from the Hiitish crown, and established our national independence. The inhabitants of the slave states arc sometimes accused by their northern brethren with displaying too much rashness and sensibility to the operations antl proceedings of abolitionists. Hut, before they can be rightly judged, there ehould be a reversal ot conditions. Let mc suppose that the people of the slave states were to form socities, subsidize presses, nuike large pecuniary tontributious, send for the numerous missionaries throughout all their own border?, and enter into machinations to burn the beautiful capitols, destroy tha productive manufactories, and sink in the ocean the gallant ships ef the Northern States. Would these incendiary proceedings by regarded as neighborly and friendly, nnd consistent with the fraternal sentiments which should ever be cherished by one portion of the Union toward another ? Would they excite no emotion? Occasion no manifestations of dissatisfaction, nor lead to any acts of retaliatory violence ? Hut the supposed case tails far short of the actual one in a most essential circumstance. In no contingency could these capitals, manufactories, and ships rise in rebellion and massacre the inhabitants of the Northern States." Mark the prophetic language! Who that looks about him and considers the course of our history since these words of eloquent warning were spoken, can doubt that "the desolated fields, conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, and the overthrow of the fairest fabric of human government that ever rose to animate the hones of civilized man" are the work of the abolition zealots ? Look upon your hands, ye fanatics! they are red with the blood of your countrymen ! Lincoln is discouraging enlistments' by refusing to exchange prisoners. There are 40,000 Union soldiers in the Southern prisons, but Lincoln is willing they should remain thero forever. Thev have sent a piteous appeal to him for their exchange, but his stony heart refuses their request. The friends and relatives of these soldiers know that there is no hope of their ever being restored to them unless Lincoln is beaten and McClellan is clcct'"'e latter would immediately order cd -i. an exchange.

"Any people, rnywherc, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake olf the existing government and form a new one that fruits them bette Nor is this right confined to cases of which the people of an existing government may choose to exercise it." Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and may make their own of so much territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may rovclutionizc, putting dowo a minority, intermingled with or near about them." Extract from Abraham Lincoln's speech in Congress, Januarv 12th 1848. See Apx. Cong. Globe, 1st Session :50th Congress, January 14, 1848. "Mr.Mallory, this war, so far as I have anything to do with it, is carriad on with the idea that there is a Uniou sentiment 1 in these States, which, set free from the control now held over it by the presence of the Confederate or rebel power, will be sufficient to replace those State. in the Union. If I am mistaken in this, if there is no such sentiment there, if the peoidc of these States are determined with unanimity, or with a feeling approaching unanimity. that their States shall not be members of confederacy, it is beyond the power of the other States to force them to remain in the Union; aud," said he, "in that contingency in the contingencies that here is not that sentiment there this war is not only an error, it is a crime." Abraham Lincoln t-j Senator Crittenden. Hon. Mr. Mallory, and ohers. Says the Richmond Examiner of the Jd inst. 'There can be doubt on that should Lincoln permit an election and should McClellan be the new President and should he offer an armistice for negotiation even though it should be a real, genuine cessation ol hostilities by sea and land the cause of Confederate independence would then begin to have c new kind of perus to ctcounter, and would have to meet them by a new effort of public virtue more heroic than millitary achievement itself." The Examiner adds, "After all, be it remembered, that if such an armistice is accompanied by an implied threat." It is plain that the Confederate government is conscious that the election of McClellan would deprive it cf the support of the peo ple, shonld he, as he has pledged by the platform to do. tender an armistice and convention of the states. While the South is united it laughs at the idea of subjugatian. What the orthortics r.t Richmond fears, the defection of the people from their support though the proffers of fair terms of peace from a party they respect and can trust. Chicago Times. The indications continue stronger nod stronger that Lincoln has not the confidence of tbc large mnescs of what lias been heretofore his party. Here is what the Montpclicr (Vermont) Freeman, a leading Repeblican journal, says of his "To whom it may concern" letter : Tho desire of the nation is so strong for peace that tha public would have been satisfied if some method could have been devised for giving the rebels all the opportunity they pretend to desire for a full ana clear conference respecting the terms upon which a peace can be inaugurated. And, in this connection, it may be said that President Lincoln has no right to make an indorsement of his Emancipation Proclamation or any other act of himself, as President a prerequisite of peace. "The only conditions and tcrnn which ought to be imposed upon rebels negotiating for a return to the Union are the abandonment of their traitorous and rebellious attitude of hostility to the Government of the United States, and a bona fide submission to the Constitution and laws of the land." An I'ticoiHlItional I iilon .11 a 11, An "unconditional Union" man was akcd, yesterday, if he would restore the Union with slavery, if it could be done in no other way. He promptly replied in the negative. 'He is a specimen of the "unconditional'' Uuion men generally. George Washington, on retiring from tho Presidency, addressod to his countrymen the matured reflection of eight years civil scrTico ttndcr the Constitution. From that precious legacy of patriotic wisdom wc extract the following sentences: "If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers rbe in any particular wrong, let it be cotreeted by an anienment in the way which he Constitution designates. Hut let there be no change by usurpation; for, though this in one ins4nce, may be the instrument of good, it u the cua,'mary WC!Ton hy which free governients arc" destroyed. The procedets must always greatly overbalance ... permanent evil wiy partial or trankt benefit which they caw at my time yieu. The Abolitionist never could imagine why McChdlan, when he had command of tha first Richmond Campaign, ordered so many hoveh.

Whereupon Gov. Hramlette yesterdav issued a proclamation denying that Kwing iias any ciu or juiuiary auwioniy ior in order, declaring tbc order to be in derogation of the laws of Kentucky, r.nl in conflict with the rights and I.ber i 9 of a byal people; he therefore forbids the Justice from making any such levy of taxes and call uKn all officers who favor the execution of Ewing's order to resign. Lincoln War Upon Women. In the National Convention, the venerable Governor WicklifTo, of Kentucky, said: 'Hie knew of a case in which thirty-five women of the higkest character had'been dragged from their homes in his State and imprisoned, and the newspapers were forbidden to publish the fact to the people of the United States. Hut he, here at the risk of arrest, published the facts, and denounce 1 the tyranny that accomplished it as the most vile under the sun." Is it pObffiblc that any man will support an adminirtratiou that is guilty of iuch atrocities? The Lincolnites profess to be willing to sacrifice every n.n.ns life an J every dollar in order to restore the Union ol thirty-four States; butat the same time they will riot consent to abandon a party creed to obtain the same object. They no not think enough of the Union to accept it with negro slavery. Their love of the Union is therefore very faint, despite all their magnificent professions.' The followiag paragraph is floating about as a waif in the great sea of newspaper paragraphs. Who its author i wc know not, but there is a volume of serious truth iu the sentiment its few words couvcv. The United States United, they are too strong for the world to conquer. Divided, they are too weak to conquer eich other. Since McClellan's nomination the admintstration begins to think that Washington is in danger. It is in greater danger than it has been for fmr years. Little Mac. will capture it next November, and give the abolition rebel about four months to evacuate. He will eat dinner in the White House, on the dth dav of March 1805, and every dav thereafter fbr four years. The wages of labor do not advance in any thing like the same ratio as the increr s; in the price of provisions, clothing, rent and fuel. Every day renders it more difficult for tho poor and even the middle clasi-es to procure the necessaries of life to keen soul and body together. Who will vote tor Lincoln aud for the policy which threatens the people with starvation It ig said that Old Abe is funny no more. People come from the White House n w with all the buttons on their vests. Pan Rice and Jim Ross have Abraham for a competitor no longer. The Wade protest u said to have dried up the fountains uf the presidential wit something which a bloody battle-field or a mournful hospital failed to accomplish The editor of the Hoston Courier recived the following note from a gentleman who gives his address: SinI voted for Old Abe once, but I never shall again. I think if we don't swap horses wc shall bo split in two parts by the raw back Kmc of the lauk one wo aro riding now. A Republican. Lincoln repeats his story of trading horses while crossing a stream very frequently but the people don't enjoy it after all. What they want ii to trade off ai as for a statesman for President. What thieves and plunderers lose in the exchange tho country gains. Mr. 1ncolu looks careworn and sad, and don't joko now. Springfield Republican. Indeed! it is not the state of the country that troubles him. Its maddest reverses have been the occasions of bis jests. The ides cf November approach. Lincoln has had four years to try his war policy to restore the Union. It has failed, miserably failed. The Democrat! now ask that Littlo Mack fhnll have that length of time to see what he can do. Is not that a fair proposition ? An exchange paper says that ' the guerrillas aro again hovering about Wndiington;" The gorilla have 1 ccn hovering around the capital ever since the inauguration cf the last President. Dawson Time. Doth will leave to return no tm ri forever after the 4th of March lSG.r. Under the Lincoln dynasty, ncgrn poldiers search all white gentlemen and ladies who cross from Cincinnatti into Kentucky over the ferries. To this deg1 edition American citizens are obliged to submit. Henry Winter Davis ha written it letter to a friend in St. louis. saying th.t ho will oppose Lin?oln'p re-election o th bitter end.
