The Rrohmosd Whig of Oct. 8th, haa the followiug ou the Presidential qies tion in the North : ''Eeturned pnsuners, almost to a na;j, expresa the opinión, so we leani, that Lineóla wil] be re olected by aa overwhelming majority. This ooiucide.fi with tho view we have alwáyí taken of the matte?-,, with a!l the iutelligo:;oe we havo reoeived from üie JSTorth fop mmy d;iys past. If aoy tfaink difierentljf, they indulge a delusiou, aucl iho sooner they g t rid of it, and of every Other, tlie better; for they v,'il! thcii bö tho botter ablö to look thoir situatlon calmi' iu the face. The sooner we accept the tact that ibero is for us no alternativo but suocesa or Bubjuga.tiou, ;he better. Let ua indulgo iu no more day dreauis. It is iight to the last, or die a slavo. " And so it would be, we are verv nuoh disposed to think, evou wore McClollau e:eoted. His platform speaks a different Jaugunge ; but whnt does he ïimself say ? He tells us plainly that if elected he will proseoute the war for the rcstoration of Ihe Uuion, JVoio we are delermined never to go back into the Union. Of cotfrae', thereforè, the war must be jrosecutcd'uutil we shall have boen reduced to Bubjeetioii. What can Liuoolu do worse thun this ? And this is exaoty what McClellan promises to do. He jroinises to be aure, to conduct the war ju a less savage f'ashiou ; but eluct him ander lus pkdge to continue the war, raid Low long will it ba beforo be iü forgat hia pronúses ? Aeceptiug the war, be aceepts everything connected i:with it. He caouot carry it on iu a difieren! man nor. Ha cannot restore to tbeir masters the negroes of whotn Liucolu has made eoidiera. Indeed he was tho first general to make large inrouda upon 8oathern property of thia doscription. He eannot rt'fuse to continue the enrollmeut of that specios of force. He is less detoated than Lineoln in the South, and would, on that acoouat, be ouly the more daugerous eiiemy. Had Liucolu uot ebown himseif a fanática! personal enemy of ererythiog Southern ,; had he prooeoded líke a man aad a OhrUtiao at the firat, the effect aught have been fatal. As it was, he Consolidated the South into oue masjj of deterniinetl oppositiou."
