Lincoln Advised to Resign.

--The Albany (New York) Statesman, a Republican organ, says:

‘ There is only one way to prevent the Democrats from electing the next President, and that is, to have President Lincoln to decline the nomination; his successor to be either Generals Grant, Sherman, Butler or Hancock. Such a nomination would unite the party. Nothing else ever will. Divided as the party now is between the friends of Lincoln, Fremont, Chase, Seward and Weed, the party cannot avoid a most humiliating defeat in November. The catastrophe can yet be averted, but only by the declension of Mr. Lincoln.
