SriBIT OF THE PRESS, (DITORUL OPINIONS OF THM IBAfilrTO JOURHAIA VVOH CUBHBKT TOPICS COMPILBI) BTBRT BAT FOB TUB BVBMSO TBLBOBAPR. Evading tlio Issue. JYom the XT. Y. Time. The Democrats choose to tflsnme probabili ties at Tariance with facts, and to impute to Republicans a polioy of which Blair Is the in reolor, and Wade Hampton and the New York Convention are the iodorsers. Following oat this ingenious method of conducting a oontro Teray, the. World assumes that Qrant will oer tainlj be defeated, and that the Republican party will "surrender the Reoonstruotloa polioy which the majority of the people will bare condemned." But, adds our contem porary: "As the whole ilrl't of Republloan election eering milliatf a RgHtnsi mou a supposition, we wlf h trial the Timet, or some other organ ot the party, would be explicit, and tell lis readers Whether the new policy Is to be persisted in, it a niRjorlty of tbe people shall, by their votes la tbla election, tepuuiuie it. K the beaten party nbinlM to the u dared will of the people on tblSBUbjecL, tbe declamation about civil strife as a coiixeqaence ol tbe election of Beyinour and Blair. Is ntuisons. How can there be any strife, If the Kapuuilrans accept the popular verdlol? All ttieir electioneering bngbears Im ply determination, ou their part, to Bet at naught public opluluti, and defy the will of the majority, If tbe lunjirlty dees not happen to be on their side, Now we wiu they would tell the country whether this is their entiled determi nation; and If it is, ou wbai ground they expect to defend It." And we are asked to give an opinion "on the duty of the minority, if tbe majority shall repudiate the negro reconstruction polioy by eleotiog Seymour and Blair." The inquiry was answered by anticipation on Monday, when we remarked that "the will of tbe peo ple, when once declared, always challenges and commands respect." The rule would hold good in the eveut of Democratic suooess next November. Only let it be proved that a majority of the whole people freely and fairly express a preference for Seymour lor the Presidency, aud the friends of Urant will quietly bow to the verdict. The Republican party never did aud never will violently re sist a judgment lawfully pronounced through the ballot-box. Can the Democrats say as much f It must bo remembered that the leaders of the Southern wing of the Deinooraoy have made their willingness to submit to a Repub lican majority conditional upon that majority being composed of white men. They have deolared that a majority formed of black votes shall not be respected. Wade Hampton, in his Union Square speech, at the close of the New York Convention, pressed this point strongly. lie call-id upon his hearers to reg ister an oath tbat if there is a majority of white votes for the Demooratio ticket, they will "place Seymour and Blair in the White House in spite of all the bayonets that may be brought against them." And the New York Demooracy responded enthusiastically to the proposition. Others may not have put the question quite so oategorioally, but in substance it has been publicly propounded a hundred times since the canvass began. Again and again Southern orators have de olared that inasmuch as ours ia a "white man's Government," the election of its Exe cutive shall not be regulated by oolored votes. If the freed men help to swell the Demooratio ranks well, if they choose the otherjside, and Grant be elected by reason of their votes, the result shall not be acquiesced in. This is the dootrine of the extremists, and is the basis of an issue which the World has thus far evaded. Another and more formidable one growing out of the Blair exposition of Executive duty, ratified as it has been by the assembled repre sentatives of the party. Aosording to the policy thus authoritatively proclaimed, it will be incumbent on Mr. Seymour, if elected, to set aside the new governments as null and void, and, with the help of the military, to disperse them and re-establish the order of things whioh Congress abolished. This pro gramme involves the foroible destruction of governments organized under the law, and whose validity Congress has recognized, the overthrow of Constitutions whioh have been ratified by a majority of the people, the dis franchisement 01 the freedmen in defianoe of existing law, and the restoration to power of Rebel leaders in spite of the disability imposed by the Fourteenth Amendment. Now, though Republicans will In good faith submit to the decision of the majority, what ever it be, they can hardly be expected to con cur in so gioss an act of Executive nsurpation as the Democracy contemplate, or so revolu tionary a method of undoing the results of the reconstruction polioy. If undone at all it must be In conformity with methods indicated by the Constitution and by local law. It must be, as the World not long ago admitted, through the instrumentality of the very Gov ernments which the Seymour party propose summarily and suddenly to sweep away. It must, in fact, be gradual, and by processes defined by the local Constitutions. This plan, of course, implies the exercise by the freed men of the suffrage now ia their hands, and the interposition of agencies whioh in every reconstructed State Georgia alone exoepted are wholly controlled by Republicans. Is it probable that the latter would tamely yield to Democratic dictation: and surrender without a Btrnggle the privileges and authority con ierrea by jaw r la it reasonable to suppose that the dispersion of Governments, the dis franchisement of hundreds of thousands of voters, and the restoration of the old slave codes, could be effects! without bitter and prolonged strife? And if in these oiroum stances disturbances occurred, would not re eponsibility attach to the party who wantonly assail the rights of States, and, under the nrettnee of executing the national will, would place their control in the hands of minorities f ' There is no danger of unlawful action on the part of Republicans. They are contending in this election lor the maintenance and the su preme authority or law. 1 hey insist tbat so far as reconstruction is an accomplished fact it fchall be respected, ani that change ia the Constitutions or Governments of the restored States shall be effected by prescribed legal methods. This is the policy of law and order, and therefore of true liberty. On the other hand, there ia very obvious danger in the line of action marked out for a Demooratio President by the New York Con vention. That policy is one of nsurpation Mad violenoe. it is a policy of wanton ag sresbion as against the majority of Sjuthern voters. It is a polioy which, t unier cover of one issue, proposes to determine another wnlcb, nuder the plea of settling a priuoiple, wouia inaugurate revolution. No amount of lopfcistry can hide this fact. No aff dot tion of respect for pnbllo opinion can divert attention froa tbe outrage wbloh the Democrats would lBiiict upon lawiui authority and rights exist irr under it. icl'rfMd.r knows better than ti, in.-Li the lit puiilioans have left no room for doubt &a to their fidelity to the fundamental nriu.I. pie of the National Government. And non i,ftl stronger reson for realizing the eiu'nrras meiit which the position and policy of the De mocracy entail upon the minority, who are powerless beneath the Copperhead platform. Will the Werld give IU opinion frankly touch ing the praotioal applioation of the Blair doo trine as to the dispersion of the Southern Gov ernments and the disfranchisement pf the freedmen by the. mere order of a Demooratlc President? Will it explain how It reoonolles 1U professed respect for law. and its acknow ledgment of the de facto authority of the new Governments, with its support of candidates who are pledged to defy ani violently to over throw both? Enormity of the Public Expenses. From the XT. T. World. The prodigal extravagance of the Repub lican party is so colossal that evea their most ingenious apologies involve admhsiom which are , i "A burden . . To sink a navy." ' The sums whioh have been paid into the Treasury since the close of the war would seem fabulous and inoredible if they were not attested by official evidenoe whioh renders doubt impossible and denial absurd. The recent speech of Mr. Edward Atkinson, which the Republicans exult over as their best vin dication, makes the following statement of the amount of onr publio revenue since the olose of the war. We ask attention to it as an ex hibit which even the Republicans, in their greatest straits, have not the assurance or the audacity to contradict: The receipts lrom tbe customs bave been as follows: April 1 to June 80, 1865 $10 OU 3S7 July 1, 1W55, to June 80, 1HWI 179 0K1.0U Julv 1.1HWI, lo June 80.

The reader will please notioe that a large portion of this stupendous sum is in cold. About $547,000,000 of it was received in duties on imported goods; and if we reckon the Dre- mium at 40 it will amount to 8218.80D.OO0. so that the total revenues of the Government since the olose of the war reach the amazin? sum of more than $1,758,000,000 in lawful money, or nearly three-fourths of the publio debt. The fact that such a deluee of revenue has been poured into the Treasury sinoe the close of tbe war, naturally leads to the inquiry what has been done with it. Before pursuing this inquiry, let us pause a moment to ask what use the common sense of the taxpayers would naturally expect and demand should be made ol so prodigious a revenue. The expectation would of course be, that it would have gone to diminish the publio debt. Unsophisticated common sense can reconcile itself to no other disposal of a revenue so enormous. But when we turn to the reports and state ments of the Secretary of the Treasury the highest authority on such subjects we flad that the publio debt has been reduoed only some $220,000,000. In his annual report for 18Gb', that officer stated that the publio debt reached its highest point on the 31st of August, 1865, when its amount, less the cash in the Treasury, was $2,757,803,686. On the 1st of September, 1S68, as we learn from the official statement of the same autho rity, the amount of the publio ' debt less the cash in the Treasury was $2,535,614,313. The total diminution of the debt is, therefore, only $222,189,373 out of an income amounting to $1,540,658,583, although a large part of this income was in gold, and not a dollar of gold has been paid to diminish the publio debt. It appears therefore tbat between thirteen and fourteen Hundred million dollars have been spent since the close of the war, by the party whose extravagance and mismanagement have bo damaged the publio credit that the premium on gold has been increased 20 per cent, sinoe 1865. In the face ot so enormous and so indispu table a revenue, it is no wonder that the Re publican party feels pressed by the persistent demand of the country to know what has be come of so much money. Mr. Eiward Atkin son, with tbe assistance of his backers, has invented a fiction, never thought of till last week, which makes the maximum debt six or seven hundred millions greater than the Seretary of the Treasury reported it to be when at the highest point, and accounts for the disappearance of so much revenue by say ing that more than eight hundred millions of it bave gone to extinguish the principal of the aeui. a notion which is in suca flagrant con flict with the official statements of the Secre tary of the Treasury, is ridiculous. If it be true, why was it reserved for Mr. El ward Atkinson to discover and announce it last week ? If it be true, as Mr. Atkinson tre- tends, that one-fourth of tire publio debt has been extinguished sinoe the close of the war, why has the publio credit been steadily depreciating, as is attested by the constant rise In the premium on gold f This last ques tion involves an argument to which there can be no valid answer. If, as Mr. Atkinson pre tends, the expenses of the Government have been less siuce the war thau in Mr. Bu chanan's time, and if more than eieht hun dred millions of the publio debt have been paid, the necessary consequence would have been a great improvement in the ore lit of the Government. If any citizen gets confused by sophistical, dishonest figures, here is a test by which he can easily satisfy himself of their falsity. Under good management, the oredit of the Government should have steadily im proved from the olose of the war forward. The premium on gold, instead of constantly rising, should have constantly fallen. If eight hun dred millions of the publio debt had been really paid, and the Government had really cost less tiuce the war thau it did under Presi dent Buchanan, the premium on gold, instead of having gone up twenty per cent., would bave gone down at least twenty per cent., and the credit of the Government would be by this time fo for re-established that we should be on the eve of resuming specie payments. Among the half-dozen conclusive reflations or Mr. Atkinson's toousu and impudent pre tenses, this is perhaps the shortest. They are utterly inconsistent with the sinking oredit of the Government, in consequent of which the premium on gold has nearly doubled sinoe the close of the war. 1 he oredit of the Govern ment is regulated by the same principles as tUat of a merchant. If a man's notes are Boll log at a discount, it is a sure evidenoe that his ' oredit it not good. If tbai, dlsoount constantly inoreafles until it is double, it is a sure evi dence that these who understand his Jfhlrs think them badly mismanaged. The wander fnl things ; whioh tMr. Atkinson pretends the Republloan party has done, are utterly incon sistent with the doubling of the premium oa gold sinoe 1865. This great sinking of the publio oredit being an inoontestlble fct, ths pretenses we have referred to are of course a baseless fiction, and aa insult to pnbllo intel ligence. Ex-Got. Boutwell on National Issues. From the Botlon Pott. Since the opening of the Presidential cam paign we have read quite a number of Repub lican stump speeches replete with perversion of facts and misrepresentation of the real aims and issues of the canvass. But we are free to say that we have never seen one so exuberant in fiction, so studiously and meanly disinge nuous, so bare-faced and unscrupulous in mendacity in a word, so orammed with dis honest assumptions and hypooritioal preten sions from beginning to end as that delivered by tbe lion. George tJ. Boatwell, as President of the late Republican State Convention. It bears upon its faoe the stamp of the dema gogue, who relies upon his wits rather thau upon the merits of his cause to make an im pression, who cares not for j ustice to his oppo nents, and is ready at all times to fly in the face of political history, when the admission of its truths would oondemn him. Such a palpably dishonest speech, in ordinary times, wonld be hardly worth the trouble of review ing; yet, in the present exoited state of tbe publio mind, when tbe grossest falsehoods pass for current faots, and are swallowed by the credulous without reflection, It is neces sary that these attempts to mislead the people should be exposed in order that the issues before them may be kept clear and distinct. We propose in this article to touch upon a single point. Mr. Boutwell commences his speech by gaying, that "the issues before the country are the same, substantially, as the issues of 1864." Either here is an unblushing, brazen falsehood to begin with, designed to cajole the voters of Massachusetts into the support of the Republi can ticket, or that party is an acknowledged failure. In 1864 we were engaged in a oivil war, which was being prosecuted on the part of the Noith (as the Republicans then said) for the preservation of the Union and the Con stitution in their origiual sp rit and integrity. The revolutionary designs and policy of the radical leaders for the permanent overthrow of republican government had then htrdly begun to crop out, and the radical party sup ported a man for the Presidency who was pledged to readmit the insurrectionary Stttes back to the Union, with all their rights unim paired, whenever they chose to submit to Federal authority. The Democracy, in that campaign, supported as earnest a patriot as Abraham Liuoolu, and as brave a Union Eoldier as General Grant. They took issue with the dominant party only on the ground of its extravagance, corruption, abuse of power, and arbitrary persecution of all who dared to question its motive- or policy. The war is now over, and has besn for three years and a half; the Rebels have submitted to all the conditions required of them when they laid down their arms, and there is now no party, either North or South, which pro poses to reopen any of the issues deoided by tbat great conflict. The Democrats are in favor of recognizing the fact that peace exists and that the Union is restored. But the radi cals continue to ignore tbat faot. A restored Union upon an equal and constitutional basis, does not comport with their ulterior and revo lutionary piojeots; they have deliberately turned their backs upon all the peace pledges made by Mr. Lincoln's administration, and will only consent to the return of the Southern States upon conditions whioh they know are absurd and impossible. And now, Mr. Bout- well would have the people believe that the Rebellion is still unsubdued, and that the re tention of his party in power Is the only guaranty of peace, when it is notorious tbat party has come to be the great and ouly ob stacle to peace and reconstruction. If the national issues are, as he assert?, the same now that they were in 1864, what a damaging commentary is the fact upou the ability and patriotism of the Republioau party ! During all these four years he has hell undis puted sway in the councils of the nation. Its representatives in Congress have arrogated to themselves all the power and functions of the Government, and they have moulded its polioy without restraint from the Executive, the Judioiary, or even the Constitution itself. It has organized military despotism, negro despotism, carpet-bag crusades, and various other tyrannical devices for ruling and crush injr the South into abject obedience. It has deliberately overridden its own laws, (never repealed) which prescribed the modes and conditions for reorganizing the Southern SUte governments. During all this time the piople of the South have quietly submitted to these dastardly outrages, and their military leaders bave scrupulously kept their parole ot honor. No hostile arm bas been raised in resistance to the execution of these mandates of arbitrary power, whioh no European despotism would dare to inflict npou its subjects Aud yet after all this costly experimenting in the work of reconstruction, after all this array of foroe. expenditure of treasure, and extra constitutional legislation, the mouth piece of this radical Congress gets up in i Massachusetts State Convention, and makes the humiliating confession that it has accoiu plisbed nothing; that tbe South still remains unreconstructed; and that "the issues are vir tually the same as in 1864." If that is so, had not Mr. Boutwell aud hi3 radioal foroe better have leave to retire from the responsible posl tlons which they now hold with so little bene fit or credit to the natiou. and let some abler and more honest men undertake the work ot restoring peace aud prosperity to the ooun try, in whioh they have so miserably failed f The Maine Current of JUoeUon The Thought. JJVnm the 7V- Y. Herald. Although the Democrats oould soaroely have honed to carrv Maine, thev labored hard for the moral eileot of a reduction in the Repub lican majority; hut the decision is so post tivelv auainst them that they must be very willully blind If thty can find any oouilort in it. Maine indicates that popular instinct has taken the full measure of the Uemooraoy Dunonratio Drinuloles and nurooHes have been judged, not by tbe guarded phrases ot careful party writers, nor by the nice negations of the imriT Ttlatfomi but bv such utterances as that spontaneous and thoroughly ueuuiueout burst with which Wade Hampton gloried on his return from the nominating convention to bis borne in South Carolina. Such utterances were felt to be sinoere by the people who Jealously watched every act of the reluming Knnthernersi: aeLiai oniv aeeoeneu iueu effect by keepiug attention fixed upon them acd the nation has determined that Seymoui is onlv put in the front of the prty as a dis guise and cover to men who hold resolutely and fltsperately to the views of Hampton, Cobb, and Toombs. The trick that male Seymour the oanlidi'.e ef the l'ourth of July Couvnutiou wa3 a pior piece of dexterity, for it destroyed the only ohanoe the party had to carry the country. At the oommenoement or this canvass there were two courses open to the Democrats. There was a positive popular distrust of tbe radioal party and a clear desire on the part of the people to go a little nearer to tbe Demooracy, lr the Democracy would only come a little nearer to tbe people that is. if it would abandon its hostility to what had been done by the people in tbe war. and so with them ia future. The visible signs by which the Deraoorats might Indicate their disposition to do this were even recognized by every one. First they had to make the fourteenth amendment the main point in their platform; and next, to Dominate as their candidate for President a man in whom the people had oonfi lenoA a one who had believed in the war. Had they accepted this course, and thus, by a sublime piece or tact put behind them the issues or the war those towers of strength for the party that was on the right side they might have fought the campaign out to a good result; for they would have had a clear field to thunder on the issue of party corruption. With the war issues put aside, tbe blunders of radi calism aLd its corruptions, that had awakened the reaction of 1867, would have over whelmed it. The other course open to the Demooracy was to be consistent we might say to be honest, if such a wotd as honesty had any applicatiou to the case to stick to its text that old formula of 1864, which deolared the war to be a failure and a gigantio injustioe. By taking this course the Demooracy would commit itself to a reactionary policy, and while it would command the intense admiration of its extreme admirers would rally all its foroe around its strongest idea, in a Democratio sense; it would drive into the arms of the Republicans all men whose heads were clear as to our recent his tory. It was put on this course by the ex treme men in tbe Convention who mancoavered the nomination of Seymour, aud who repre sented the element that had opposed tbe Gov ernment during the war. Bullied or cheated into compliance by these men, the Demooraoy may cow see in the verdict from Maine that the people look upon it as merely fighting the lost cause over again, and are as resolutely determined tbat it shall not win as they were when the arena of 4hat cause was the field of battle. Democracy Jubilant From the If. Y. Commercial Advertiser. The Maine election has apparently carried joy to both parties. If we are to believe the H orld this morning the Uuterrified are even more happy than the Republicans over the returns fiom that State. The following are some of its head lines chronicling the Ma ne news: "A Great Democratio Viotory Demo cratio Gain of Fourteen Thousand Rejoicings of the Democracy." "The Republican Ma jority mot more than 18,000, and Probably Less." "Demooratio Gain over Republican Majority of 1860, 9661." "Democratio Gain over Republican Majoiity of 1864, 3076." Ana our contemporary closes au editorial on the election in this wise: "All honor, then., to tbe sturdy Democrats of the Fine Tree State. Toey have fugnt n good fight, find bave ttbowu wnat plucfc, energy, and ptrhii-tencecHn accomplish in tao lace of anDfi- rentl.v luKurmountaoie oD.naoiHa. They de serve, and will receive the thanks of their eliow-DeinocraU throughout the entire coun- iry." Now, if the World regards a Republloan majority of "only eighteen thousand," an in crease of seven thousand over last year, "a great Demooratio viotory," we would ask, in tbe name of common sense, what it would style a Demooratio defeat f But our Democratio cotemporary ought to know better than to suppose that it oan impose upon its readers with such stuff as this. They picked np their paper this morning expeotiug to find tbat the Republican majority in Maine had been materially deoreased instead of being increased to the extent of nine thousaud. The World bas been deluding them into this belief. On the 7ih instant it said to them with aa air of supreme confidence: ''Tbat tbe approaching election will reduce the tnxjorlty lo some rive thousrnd is, we think, ascertain as the el ctiou day comes, notwithstanding the great exertion and enor mous amount of morey which ihe radicals are sending lo that to late to cnutest the result." And now, when that majority has been in creased to the extent of fully seven thousand, at the lowest calculation, the World announces "a great Democratic viotory," and assures us that the Maine Demooracy are rejoicing over tbe result. Is there anything comparable to Democratio "cheek" and audacity ? WANTS. AGESTS WANTED. THE BEST WllRK fur Cttiivmaom. tSeud fur Circular, free.
