MONDAY, JULY 13, 1868. Tbe ''Greatest Statesman' of the De mocracy aid General Illalr. Tab comments upon tbe Democratic nomina tions t7 tbe journals of tbe country of various Blades of opinion, re of a contradictor and condoling cbaracter; tbe organs of tbe Re publican party and some independent news papers declaring that tbe tloket is inevitably doomed to defeat, while the Democratio Jour naif, as in duty bound, affirm tbat nothing could bare been more satisfactory and en couraging tban tbe unanimous eeleotion of tbeir "greatest statesman" as their Presi dential nominee. Tula declaration, whloh is apparently sincere, affords a strikingoomment ary npon tbe position and conduct of their party. It maintained for a long period unin terrupted sway in the national councils, train ing a large number of its chosen favorites in tbe publio service as Congressmen, Senators, Cabinet offior8f and diplomatists, and yet it now boasts tbat it has found in a man who has cffiolally figured exclusively in the tortuous politics of the Empire State, a statesman of more exalted genius and greater profundity than any of the Democratio champions who have enjoyed opportunities in a national arena to air their theories and to demonstrate their wisdom or their folly, their patriotism or tbeir treasonable proolivities. If this judgment be correct, it reflects great disoredit upon the long list of Democratic magnates who have been fairly tried before the people, and in their eulogies of Seymour it would be interest ing to bear them explain how and why he gained Lis alleged pre-eminence, despite the lack, of proper opportunities. The nation has witnessed, during the last twelve years, some times with mortification, but oftener with just indignation, innumerable displays of Demo cratio statesmanship. The favorite dootrines Of the party were exemplified in the South, by the treasonable efforts to inaugurate the Rebellion, and in the North by schemes to prevent a vigorous prosecution of the war instituted to suppress it, and there is no evi dence that Horatio Seymour's statesmanship ever elevated him above the low level of Democratio prejudices and platforms. Indeed, when it is remembered that the man who, iu tbe New York Con vention, first strenuously insisted upon his nomination was no less a personage than the notorious Vallandigham; and when Sey mour's record in connection with tbe stages of tbe rebellion and the New York riots is con sidered, it will be difficult to ascribe to thii paragon any other sort of statesmanship than that which has been emphatically coudemued by the repeated verdiots of the American peo ple. His chief advantage over his competitors arose from the faot that he did not place on record in the Congressional Globe, or in the archives of national departments the current opinions of the party to which he has ad hered with unwavering fidelity, but he has said and done enough to prove his thorough Sympathy with tbe ultra leaders of his organi zation, and to become the chosen candidate of the radical Pendleton faction. Satisfied that he will blindly follow "the old landmarks of the party," the Democratio politicians willscaroely attempt to disguise this obvious faot, and they will only endeavor to attract doubtful voter1 by some of the glittering generalities of their platform and by their nominee for Vice-President. Resisting the nomination of Genera Hanoock for the first place on thei ticket, they concluded that it would be saf to confer the secondary honor npon a Union Beldier, who had followed up his abandonment ef republicanism by a declaration that he favored a revolutionary reversal of the recon struction policy of Congress. Thousands of men entered the war as Democrats, and emerged from it Republicans, but General Blair gained a strong hold npon the affections of the Democracy by pursuing the direotly opposite course. In I860, when he addressed a Linooln meeting in this city, he bitterly de Bounced the members of tbe Union party of that day in Pennsylvania for not openly assuming the name of Republicans, and boasted that ia the Slave State of Missouri he gloried in proclaim ing himself an emancipationist. Stubbornly as the New York Convention resisted the ap peals of those who urged that suocess was im possible nnless they nominated for President some man who had not always been a strict Democratio partisan, the force of this argu ment was evidently acknowdged in the most nrgraoious and ineffective manner possible by the nomination of General Blair. Instead of strengthening the Deinocra'ic ticket, his erra- lio record and his recent letter invoking a new rebellion will render him even less acceptable to patriotio voters than Horatio Seymour. The Republican party will inevitably triumph in the coming election, unless it commits the error of so greatly underrating Its antagonists as to permit them to carry the election by default. It is evident that the Democracy will make a desperate attempt to achieve suocess. conscious of the popu larity of Grant and Colfax, they start from the outset fully impressed with the idea that lu- cessant and untiring exertions are necessary to give them even a ihost of a chance of vio tory. They will constantly labor, in season and oat of season, by fair means and foul, to Strengthen tbeir ticket. All their internal dlssens'ons and antagonisms will be healed, and they will move on in solid column in sup port of Seymour and Blair. If the Republi cans are wise, they will soon recognize the necessity of perfecting a oonnter-orgabixation that will worthily sustain in its com pleteness and effectiveness the olaims of their great leader. " . , How Philadelph a Ratified. On Saturday night the faithful of our city met in front of Independence Hall, to ratify the Democratio nominations. A large stand was erected, big placards posted, and the speak ers annonnoed; the only thing whioh marred the complete success of the whole affair was tbe trifling absence of a big crowd. In all candor we must say that two thousand people would be au over estimate of those who were present. From beginning to end the spirit evinced proved tbat the Demooratio party in Philadelphia entered the contest with tbe oer tainty ef failure staring them in the face. The meetiDg was presided over by that "vene rable" eage Richard Vaux. His speech was thoroughly cbaracleristio. Mr. Vaux com menced by stating that the "nomination of Seymour and Blair were by the whole Union, because the convention whioh seleoted them had representatives from all the States." Wherein the special merit of their nomination consists over that by the Republicans is not stated, as Grant and Colfax were also nomi nated under exactly similar olroumstanoes, so far as the number of votes they received wai concerned. Bat what has logio to do with the question? Progressing in his torrent of words, the speaker detected a light ahead. He predicts a good time coming. He says "the golden age of the country is about to return," and detects the dawn in the certainty of the election of Seymour. Oh 1 lasting night tha, is in store for our land if there shall be m light nntil it illuminates the head of the great Horatio as President of ths United States ! What is Egyptian darkness oompared with tbat in the future f We fear the sun will set to rise no more if his rays are not needed until the good times comes. There can be but one way to explain the statement of the great Vaux. He perpetrates joke on the word "golden." He refers to specie payments, and is twitting the Demo cracy with their financial views. With this as our key, let us see how plain the complex sentenoe becomes: T je r olden axe of the republio Is to be rein- arguraled, Arm, by tbe nomination, then by tl e sanction of the people, and then ia the ad riilnlatratloD of the Federal Government, under tl e Constitution and the laws made In aooord- ai ce therewith." This can mean but one thing. It is a pro phecy that Grant will be elected and specie payment be once mere resumed. If it meant Demooratio suocess, surely by flooding the ooun try with "greenbacks" no golden age" will be secured. But it is really too bad, Richard t it is too bad ! Remember, you have no right to joke at the expense of your friends. Old men do dearly love their little puns; but then there is carrying a thing to an exoess, and to prophesy Republican suocess to a Demooratio meeting, when you are its President, cannot be excused even on tbe pita of getting off a joke. Farther on the orator says: "The hones of all true patriots are revived: for tbey see In inecumlug future Ibe blioi, peace ful, penetrating, una pervading, line tnedew ol heaven, rein vmoraiiug their energies to rescue ttie country from the control of bauds of UHurpers and i in port t ere, who are crucifying re presentative cduHiiiutional government, to set up in 1U stead a despotic power, to paotectthetn from the wrath of tue people, awakening to the duties which the equity of retribution Im poses." Surely tbe intense heat of Saturday night has affeoted the massive brain. What with tbe dew of heaven, tbe crucifixion, the equity of retribution we would have supposed the legal mind would refer to redemption also we cannot tell at what the great man is aiming. But the peroration is the thing. We are afraid to congratulate the ex-Mayor on any other part, beoaase it recalls to us so strongly the story of a Frenchman who had lost his wife. As he went along the street to the funeral he was painfully affected, sobbing and shouting. A friend who met him on tbe way called next day to expresB his sympathy. "My dear fel low, you were dreadfully overoome going to the funeral." "What !" he replied; "Going to it 1 Oh, that was nothing. You should have teen me at the grave!" So it is with Richard. We dare not say that any of his ex cellent abuse of the radicals was good, lest he refers ns to the peroration. We give it to our readers: ' It will drive tbe usurpers from the Federal capl ol, ana irom tbe Hiatus where now tuey and the negro seek to govern against right, jus tice, i rut b. righteousuetis, reason, patriotism. me Iuwm of God and the protest of enlightened ruat kind." What the "protest of enlightened man kind" means we do not pretend to conjecture, but then as Unole Toby says when accused of rt peating an irrelavent quotation "What's the odds, it sounds all right." The rest of the meeting was rather a tame affair. No new adjective was applied. In faot the meeting wa3 rather mild. It only calls m "usurpers," " traitors," " revolutionists,' "murderers," "incendiaries," and such like epithets. We see nothing new. Oh for a n an with the wonderful cursing power of An diew Jackson. He would be worth ten thou sands votes. The conolitmg speech was delivered by a Col. (?) McDowell of Harrlsburg. Let those viho can make sense out of it do so. "Colonel Thomas C. McD well, of Harrlsburg was now Introduced, and said tbat he had fiund. Klde by side with himself on the Plat form, a man whom he had not met since be was a prisoner in tbe old Capitol Jail at Washing ton a prisoner for no act or ni, ho lar as ns knew. Ue bad entered tbe war, but euld not remain iu the army. He soon became dlsxuated and left the st-rvloo. The course of tbe radicals u. on tiwi mnr-h for lilna. He honed tbat tbe peo ple would take care of tbe radical members of Congress from pnntuieipuia: wouiu seuu a nun censor to Bill Kelley, to Leonard Mvers. to Charles O'Neill, and to all tbe radical orew. niii nnt.mtuVi t.n bas nne of them returned. In rile.ee of Charles O'Neill, be expeoted to see tbat lonest, tried, and true man, Colonel Florenoe, chosen." (Applause.) A clue to its vagueness is given by our 1 neighbor, the Post: "Colonel McDowell, of Harrlsburg. was next (totted out. Alter denouncing tbe radicals, tne nlKKT,' and Bui Kelley, he engaged in a ram Ming conversation with tbe audience, and was finally given a strong hint by one of the ooin mlt aa to q!t. which he did, and wm loudly entered lor doing u." - With this oheerfal and soul-stirring episode, he great ratification meeting terminated. If throughout the campaign its type will be but -followed, we will have the State by 50,000 majority. Literature and the Drums, - It his recently ieoome enite the fashion to bewail the decline of literature and the drama as one of the .undeniable facts of the day. This is no new thing under the sun, for Gold smith made his vulgar lady from town ex olaim in heart-rending tones ' that "there is nothing ooming out now but the most lowest stuff in nature," and the same cry has been beard from time to time ever since. If it is, indeed, true that the general tone of popular literature is lower than formerly, it is a matter of snob. Importance in its bearing npon the minds and morals of the people that it should be seriously considered, rather than dis missed with a flippant and superficial oritioism. In instituting a comparison between the condition of literature in the present and the past it should be first remembered that a great change has occurred in the reading pub lio. Addison and Steele wrote their editorials for a select few the scholars and people of leisure, who constituted the publio of that day, while the same class, or rather the cor responding class in our day, is more fully supplied by the vast array of periodicals scientific, scholastic, and literary, containing essays, arguments, and discussions as care fully studied and as oritioally correot. But this body of students does not now con stitute the only publio; . a vast republic of readers has been recently created, embracing thousands in place of tens, a publio that reads the daily newspapers, and furnishes a larger number of intelligent readers than ever weloomed the weekly issue of the Spectator or Tattler. This is the largest and most ap parent publio, the one most clamorous in its demands and most liberal in its payments. K this olass is not yet ready to admire and demand a severe style, and has not yet learned the great literary fact that "adjeotives are tbe greatest foes ot substantives," let us rejoice in the abundance rather than lathe var'ety of the quality produced, and in tha fact tbat so large a proportion of the people have been educated to suoh a degree of intel ligent interest. It is not that literature is lowered, but it has been infinitely broadened iu extent, so that it embraoes all degrees of intelligence, and all varieties ot taste. The supply of the inferior quality is the most abundant, and the weak weeklies, mild monthlies, and nonsensi. oal novels flaunt in front of the bookstores, just as festoons of cheap oalioo adorn the door of the merchant; but there are treasures of silk and lace within. But let ns not fall into such a plausible fallacy as to echo the cry that literature is degraded. Do not stare into the "blanket sheet" with its monstrosities for illustrations until you are blind, and then grieve over the depravity of the day, bat seek ths elegant diction, scientific research, aud earnest and sincere thought lavished npon the review, quarterly magazine, and au immense variety ot similar periodicals. Let none say that those who first tasted the pure waters of the "well of English undented' have not found fit followers In the authors of to-day. The wits of Elizabeth, or the "fine gentlemen" writers of Anne's Augustan age. never wrote in purer style or with clearer or more elegant diction. The grandest language of the world bends in obedience to the potent pens of Maoaulay, Eingsley, Balwer, and George Elliot, and to our own Hawthorne, Motley, and Cheeseboro. A similar charge has been brought against the drama, and merits a similar answer. Gar- rick trembled with anxiety when he saw Pops in his audience; npon the poet's verdict hung the aotor's fame. The select few who filled the boxes, and really paid for the entertainment, woul l be influenced by his judgment. What EDglith actor would wait anxiously for Tenny son's opinion, or weigh it for a moment, as a matter of fame or profit f Can we imagine Jefferson pausing to crave Irving's applause for Rip Van Winkle ? Good aoting is as highly esteemed ai ever; there is a larger and more cultivated audience to applaud merit than was ever seen brfore since the world began, but we have another, which makes the theatre-going community not yet educated into fastidiousness, and whioh craves for the sensational. We may deory it as a monster; but if it is one it is a Bi iareus, with a hundred hands to applaud and to pay Let it be tupplkd, ad nauseam: it will soon learn better, and a higher style, whioh is not merely entertainment, but instruction and elevation, is already provided for the increas irjg demand. . . .
