Wo aro no oltcn asked, in obvious earnest, If
New York is euro to go right in hor approach
iog election, tbat we are impelled to unsa'er the
question generally, and by a simple exhibition
of facta.
In 18fi4 our State was carried by small mao

8293 for Fenton over Seymour, In a total of
J30.821 votec We bfive always believed ttaiit
these niajoritleo were reduced by ioul voting
and fraudulent changes of soldiers' ballots
that our fair majority at that election was about
20.000.
Lawt year our adversaries confidently expected
to carry the State. Their ytato, ticket wa In
eood part made up of men who bad been pro

our Htaie in its behalf, arm-in-arm with John
Van Buren, whipprrinii tn the ears of the select
few that Andy Johnson wtw "all right," and
'would give them "the spoils" if they would carry

against us: and a superficial observer mu4

The agureorate of Democratic majorities in
aLI tbe counties outside ol this city was but
C334 an aggregate which 8t. Lawrence alone
will overhear next month. And it is our conti
dent conviction that neither these nor the city
majorities can now be increased. In otne'r
words, we believe that all tne county majorities
for Hoflrnun will not exceed 30,000, while we
are equally sure that the counties w bich go for
Fenton will roll up au aggregate majority of at
least 00,000.
It the October elections should sorely disap
point us, Governor Kenton's majority will be
Jess; it they go overwhelmingly lor us, it will
be greater, should it seem that the bottom
had fallen out of the Johnson coalition, that
majority may exceed 5ii,0U0.
The bright prospect thus afforded will by no
means induce owr Iriends to relax their exer
tions. They will work the harder because they
leel and know that they are not spending their
iittenglb for naught. And it is most desirable
on every account that tbe loyal State should so
speak that there can be no dispute or cavil as to
their decision. Let it be clearly shown that
they demand the adoption of the Constitutional
amendment, and it will be promptly ratified,
tne South represented in Congress ' by loyal
Representatives, and this long-distracted laud
once more enjoy the blessings of peace aud rest.
The Prt'blileut nutl III Policy Cougreitii
aud the Aiiieudmtut.
From the Herald.
We are again assured from WaBuintou that
the President, on the question of Southern
restoration, ''will adhere most strenuously" to
the policy he has adopted in opposition to the
policy of Congress. Why? What is there in
this Constitutional amendment which prevent
his co-operation with Congress ? Nothing which
he has not himself recommended at one time
or another. He has himself imposed the main
conditions of this amendment upon the excluded
States as essential conditions of restoration, and
he has proposed the others. What, then, is the
difficulty ? He contend, as it appears, that all
the States that claim and are willing to be
represented in Congress have the right to a
voice iu this matter ot Constitutional amend
ments. He therefore pioooses, Urst, that tne
excluded States shall be represented, and then
he has a Constitutional amendment to otter
regulating representation on the basis of suf
frage that is or may oe adopted by the several
States, and apportioning taxation upon the
value ol property in each State.
This is his plan. His preat objection against
the amendment of Conga su is that it was pased
iu the absence of certain btutes asking and
entitled to bo represented. But how aud when
did those States secure the right to admission
into Congress? They were disorganized aud
broken up by the Rebellion. They had to be
reconstructed". The President, in the absence
ot Congress, and in the exercise of the discre
tionary war powers conferred by Congress, pro
ceeded to reconstruct them. All things consi
dered, he did his work very well; but in the
verv outset be admitted and proclaimed the fact
that this work would be subject to the
approval ot Conuress. What bus followed?
Congress has retused to admit tbe Slates
concerned as reconstructed by the Presi
dent. But adopting substantially his con
ditions, the two Houses have put them
into the loruo of a Constitutional amendment,
wita tbe oiler to the excluded Mates tbat with
the ratification ot this amendment they will be
admitted. If tbe President, in the absence of
Congress, had the discretionary power tu exact
of those states the ratification of the amend
ment abolishing slavery, bad not Congress on
reassembling in tbe Capitol the power and the
right to demand the ratification of these other
conditions of restoration, all that the President
had done being subject to tno approval of Con
gress ? Are not all the powere of admission or
supervision or regulation of the States possessed
by the General Government? Are they not all
invested iu Congress? They are, from the begin
ning to the end. Is not the President required
by the Constitution to execute the laws of Con
gress ? He is, from torn to last.
Here we might contend that, as this amend
ment was passed by a two-thirds vote of each
House, it should, in the spirit ot the Constitu
tion, be accepted by the President as a measure
which has gone beyond his power ot opposition.
We are satisfied, however, in answering this
objection of his as to the exolusion of certain
Suites by bis own testimony. What Congress
ought to have done with those States is not row
the question. It is enough that, in refusing to
naroit mem on the rresiuenvs pian, congress
has simply exercised its authority over this sub
ject: it is enoueh that said States are not recon
structed, and are still subject to this ultimatum.
Ot Congress. i
The case, then, is clear. There Is in reality no
disagreement in princiDle between Congress
and the President in this matter. His vetoes of
certain bills passed at tbe late session were jus
tided DV SOlId tacts and traiminK. Rut tllPV

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
ment. Tbe conditions here proposod by Con
gress are the conditions imposed or suggested
by the Executive lie has arimitted the super
vising authority of Congress over his own acts,
He turned theni over to Congress in his annual
messngc ot December last. Bad men and had
counsels nave stepped in between him and Con
gress. There is the trouble. The only
issue in this conflict is an wue ot foolish
pride, bad temper, and bna taste on both
sides. It was fomented tn Congress by
such radical marplots and ' fanatics ' hi
Stevens, Pumncr, Chandler, and lntersoll,
and by their stupid but mischievous personal
abuse ot the Executive and tb"lr savage threats
against bin. Tnis rupture, however, with a
lew Implacable radicals wai Unwisely enlarged
by the President himself Into a rupture wlih
Coneress. There was no necessity for this, as'lhe
results have shown; for the radical schemes of
universal negro suffrage, universal confiscation,
and universal disfranchisement have utterly
(ailed, and the plin adopted for Southern resto
ration by Congress is substantially the Presi
dent's plan in every condition. What ha now
proposes in regard to taxation on the basis of
property Is already in force in our Internal Re
venue laws, declared valid by the courts, so
that there is no need of any amendment ol the
Constitution on this subject.
In one word, if asked what tbero is in this
theory ol the President's opposition to this
Constitutional amendment ot Congress as now
presented, we must say it amounts to nothing.
There is nothing in it and it will come to
nothinc. Wc have no time or space to waste
upon the paltry quibbling of the party journals
of the day. nor upon their pitif ul and debasing
personal vulgarities on the one side or the
other. It is all the more rolreshing, however,
to meet occasionally with a political lournal
such as the Springfield (Mass.) hepubiican,
equal to the demands of the crisis In a calm,
practical, and comprehensive discussion of the
great questions of the day. We only regret
that such examples are so few and far between,
as we find them among the most intelligent
ncop'e of all the nations. It is to this pervad
in intelligence of the powerful North that we
look for such a ratification of this plan of Con
gress as will speedily bring the South to its
adoption. Nor can we believe that Andrew
JoliUKon, a man of the people, believing in the
will of the people, will remain unmoved by the
returns of the approaching Octoberand Novem
ber elections. We have every reason to believe
that they will be so decisive as to bury the last
remains of the demented, doomed, and already
broken-down old Democratic party, and tj give
a finishing blow to radical lunatics and tfisor
panizer of both sect-ous, in the active co-ope
ration ot congress, the Administration, and the
people, North and South, on the platform of
this Constitutional amendment.
The Constitutional Amendment Client.
From the World.
"Itcprosentation in Congress ou the bants ol mif
lraite. as each btatu mav chooso tor t.all, the
condition ot Southern restoration " Herald.
' Shall tho voters of tho North liavo equal rights
with tbe voters of the Souta?" Tribune
The Herald asserts that on th? passage of the
Constitutional amendment the Itunip Congress
will cease to deny to Southern Scutes alUlght of
representation in Congress, but will promptly
pive them un abridged representation.
The Constitutional uineuduieut can never
pass, as we have conclusively bhown. The Rump
Congress took good care to frame one w hich
could never pass; and they explicitly refused to
promise even a reduced representation to the
South In case it were passed. All the leading
radicals (and no man will to-day deny that they
entirely rule their party have openly asserted
that they wiil not admit the South even
ou that condition. Tho idea advanced to help
the radicals in the fall clectious, that, if the Cou
suluiionul amendment be passed, tbe country
will tlivn compel the Hump to admit Southern
members, has turned some political weather
cocks. It is absurd, for the radicals will then
lor two jeais be out of the range of such com
pulsion; they will have been elected to the
fortieth Congress; they will consider their
re-election au lud'Usement of the course ot the
Thnty-uinth, which retused to pledge repre
sentation upon tne passage ot tne amendment;
they will theu make "impartial sutliaire" (i. e..
neuro sullrapi ), or what not, the test, and thus
keep the Southern members out of the Forty
tirsi Cougiess, und tho Southern votes for Presi
dent iu 1808 from being counted.
Conprcrs has no plan of restoration. The pre
tence chat it has, ih a cheat, a swindle, aud a
lie. It it had a plan it would not be voted for,
since there can be but one just plan equal repre
sentation ou the Irakis of populatiou according
to the Constitution.
Lttcrly without security, utterly without
ground of hope, tuut the Itump will' admit the
Southern Stares to representation ou conseutiug
to nave it aoridgea, tuere are, nevcrtueiusti,
many iuteLlipeut men who think there is fair
ness in the proposed abridgment of the South
ern representation. They deem the Constitu
tional amendment "lair aud impartial" under
the ialse idea that it proceeds on sutlrage in
stead of population as the basis of representa
tion. The radical speakers, addressee, and news
papers so represent the amendment; falsely.
Sa.vs the Iribune'
' Now tbat slavery U abolished, tho threo-fifths
rule has ol course lo cease, and tho apportionment
bus either tu bo maue upon tne voting (white) popu
lation, as the Congressional amendment provide,,
or upon the total population, as will bo the case if
the umt-udmeiit is rejected aud the Johnson party
nave a majority in tuo next codgtohs
Shall luovotcrsof tho North have' equal rights
with the voters ol the South?"
There is the false idea studiously put forth
that the Constitutional amendment cstablisties
sutlrage instead ot population as tho basis ot
representation.
The fact is, the amendment does not change
at all the present rule of population as the basis
of representation (as we'.l as taxation) for the
whole country. It is cunningly framed to have
the appearance of changing the basi of repre
sentation from population to sutlrage, yet in
reality not to change it, but only to cheat the
Southern States out ol some Biteen or twenty
memuers ot uongress. Here is the proof, sec
tion 2 oi the proposed amendment begins by
declaring that "Representatives shall be appor
tioned among the several States accordiug to
their respective numbcis. counting the whole
number of persons tu each State, including ex-
mans tot taxed."
'1 hat is the old, tho wise, the lust apportion
ment oi the Constitution; taxation and repre
sentation equal, aud both based on population.
But then follows, in the same section 2, a provi
sion trained with a devilish ingenuity so as to
strike out from population and tbe basis of
representation three or four million Southern
blacks unless they aro allowed to vote. Retain
ing population as the basis of representation, it
is cunningly contrived so as not to enumerate
the three or tour millions of non-voting South
ern blacks in the Southern basis of representa
tion, wbile yet enumerating the two or three
millions of non-voting aliens in the Northern
and Western States in the Northern basis of
representation. The amendment only provides
for a reduction of the basis of representation
where citizens are not allowed to vote, leaving
non-voting alieus still to be counted. But by
the til st section of the amendment negroes are
made citizens of the United States and of the
.... 1 4 V. IH, ,,1 tA .
olUlc Wlieit;iU tucy icsiuc, xuus, wo icpcni,
this so "fair," this so "impartial" amendment
for "apportioning representation on the voting
(whiiei riontilation." is in fact only an artful.
specious, and circuitous trick to strike out the
Southern black population (unless allowed to
vote) from tbe basis ot representation which
everywhere else is lelt to prevail, i. e. popula
tion voting and non-voting.
But the Iribunfa pretense that tho amend
ment bases representation upon the voting
(white) population, iustead of the total popula
tion, is still more egregious, still more false
than we have yet shown.
One-half the white population of Maryland are
disfranchised by a despotic Registration act.
More than one-half the white population of Mis
souri are disfranchised by a similar contii
1 vanoe, which excludes, too,ono of Sherinau's
chief generals from the poll". Two-thirds of
tho white population of Tennessee, Brownlow
and his Legislature deprive of their votes on
Plate or Federal aflair. Here Is a disfran
chised non voting population of one and one
third to one and one-half millions; but the
amendment Is so framed that all these
disfranchised people Oho aided the Rebel
lion not half so much as the four million negroes)
are to be counted in the basis ot representation,
while the blacks are not: tbe residue of the
population in Maryland, Tennessee, and Mis
souri may vote for them, and so represent them;
but the residue of tho Southern population can
not, under the amendment, vote tor and repre
sent tho three or four millions of disfranchised
black. With malicious ingenuity the amend
ment is contrived (section 2) pot to reduce the
basis of representation where the disfranchise
ment is "for participation in rebellion, or other
crime."
The principle on which the blacks at the
South (made citizens by section 1) are struck
out of the basis of representation is thus doubly
violated. The blacks are struck out of the
basis of representation because their adult
male are non-voters. But the non-voting aliens
of the Northern States are counted In the basis
of Northern representation; the million and a
half non-voting population ot Tennessee. Mis
souri, and Maryland are counted in the basis of
representation.
The State Klectlon.
From the Timet.
It is reasonably certain that the Democratic
party in this State will make no more by the
Albany movement this year, than it did by its
Syracuse dodge a year ago. That was the first
election after the ciose of the war. Up to that
time, their actions, as a party, bad been against
the national administration, against the 'princi
ples by which the war was justified, and the
measures by which it was carried on, against
coercing the seceding States, auainst abolishing
slavery, either as a war measure, or by amend
ing the Constitution, and against the whole sys
tem of policy oy which the administration had
sought to suppress the Rebellion.
At Si racuse, in September, 1805, the Demo
cratic Convention abandoned their old platform
and adopted a new one accopting the results
of the war, acquiescing in the abolition of
slavery, indorsing the Administration elected
by the Union patty, allirHiing principles almost
identical with those of the Republicans and
selecting most of their candidates Iroiu men who
had been prominent and active in the liepubli
cai. ranks. Their object in all this was perfectly
apparent, iney sougtii ttieir own reinstate
ment iu power. Accepting Union principles,
they were not willing to aceppt the Union party;
they accepted the principles, indeed, only to
secure the overthrow of the party which had
always held them. The purpose was not an
honest one, und the people refused to aid or
abet it. iney wouiu not trust tho uemocraitc
paity to cairy into elicct principles and mea
sures iney uau always resisted, ana wnicn tney j
espoused now only 10 regain place and power.
The.v were overwhelmed at the November elec
tion's, as they deserved to be. I
The Albany Convention was only a repetition j
ot the same hick alter better preparation, und i
under vt hat were supposed to be better auspices. '
The Philadelphia Convention had indicated a
strong desire, on the part of patriotic men iu
both sections, lor- a restoration of the Union
upon just and constitutional principles; and
there was a laree body ot the people ready to
waive their party relations for tnis specific pur
pose, and co-operate iu measures to e.ve this
desire tilect. Tho Democrats believed they could
use this disposition lor their own party purposes.
They seized upon it not to co-operate in catry
ing it out, but to mane it do their party work
make it reconstruct their shattered organiza
tion, regain the public confidence they had for
feited, aud restore the Democratic party to its
old asciudancy in the slate aud nation.
Eery consideration connected with the
public wellare demands that tLii attempt
shcuid be defeated. No oleaster could Ou
graver or more serious to the country than
tho return ol the olo Democratic organization
to place and power. The public irood iin
peialivcly demaud the defeat ot Mr. llotlman and
the re-election of Governor Feu ton, by a majority
at least as large as that which he received last
year. In no other way can the determination
bi'the people not to place the Government in the
hands ot tuut party wnicn taiieu to uoienj it in
its hour of pi til, be niailo clear and unmis
takable. The Democratic puny, as such as
an organized political body is utterly and
hopelessly discredited with the people. It has
lost the power, if it had the will, to reuder
the country .any useful service. Its control is
in the bauds ol the least patriotic and the most
settish and corrupt ot its menibeis. It aims
only at selfish ends, aud seeks them only by the
mo.it corrupt nnd unscrupulous means. The.
action of the Albany Convention was dictated
by those who wield the power aud share tho
spoils ol office in the city ot New If oik. The
oominunt purpose h;ch controlled that Cou
veuiiou was the determinatiou to resist reforms,
perpetuate abuses, and augment the corruptions
which yield such lavish returns to men in
office; and the welfare of the SUte, us well as
the interests of tho city, demaud that this
design should be dotested.
Tho election 'of Governor Fenton and the
Union ticket by a decided mujority at the
coming election, following, as we have iio doubt
it will, similar results in 6:her Sta'.es, will break
up effectually nnd finally tho Democratic party,
as it has been organized and directed for the last
five years. It will compel its dissolution and
reconstruction. Thoroughly dcieated now, that
party can never regain its strength or renew Its
3 successes. Properly reorganized, and animated
ity a new auu uiguei epnii,, n muy nu nuve a
useful mission to perform in connection witii
the luture career of the republic. It may modify
and moderate the action ol rash and extreme
men iu iho Uuion party, and so help bring the
Government to that golden mean which is al
ways ite path of practicrl wisdom and of na
tional safety. But it can never regain public
contideucc, or be again iutrusted by the peonlo
of the nation with the control of its public
policy.
