The Lesson of the Election.
from the If. Y. Oommcrclnl Adv .rtiscr.
The World says tbe despatobes "are leas
farorable even than we bad hoped, for oar
hopes had been of a sweeping and conclusive
triumph, whiuh would have leit the November
contest a matter of mere form." "The re
turns," It adds, "establish inoontestably a
completely adverse result." This virtually
yields the point, and concedes to the Republi
cans a triumph in November; a jd not all the
Bpeoial pleading of the leaders, or the appeal
to Democrats to "keep their armor on," will
save the party from just that overwhelming
defeat it so riohly merits. The people of this
conntry are progressive, not reactionary. They
detest the blind and wicked polioy of the
Democratio party. They want peaoe and not
war. They propose to have universal free
dom' and to maintain the equality of all men
before the law. They know what Democraoy
means, and they know that this so-called De
mocracy is a lie, that it prates ot equal rights
and denies equality of right whenever it has
the power.
The lesson of the canvass is a plain one, and
even the fugitive Democrats may read it as
they run. Their leader, Blair, has proclaimed
a revolution. Their leaders, Wade Hampton,
Wise, Vanoe, Forrest, Hill, and others, have
weloomed this revolutionary programme.
They have determined to make 18U8 in the
likeness of 18G0, and to repeat in the ooming
winter the reckless and traitorous conduct of
eight years ago. Cover up their purposes as
they may, the people penetrate the disguise
and deteot the sham. They have had all the
war they want, and they will not yield power to
men whose purposes are as bloodthirsty bow
as they were in all the years from Fort
Sumter to Appomattox, and who have not
veiled them, from the time they gave their
parole In 1865 till they appeared in Tammany
Hall in July last. The isaue is clear and dis
tinot. Thousands of Democrats have already
abandoned the party of Rebellion, and thou
sands of voters who have stayed away from
the polls the last ten years, are now up in
arms and eager to give the coup de grdce to the
party whioh brought on the great civil war,
and which gave aid and comfort to it during
its progress. They see in Grant the presage
of peace, and know that the calm and mag
nanimous and victorious soldier will prove
himself the capable and efficient Executive.
The True Way to Conduct a Canvass.
from the N. T. Evening Post.
There has been a tendency for some years
for Demoorats t hold their politioal meetings
alone, and Republicans to hold theirs by them
selves. This has come to be so oustomary
that, in the East at least, it is not often we
see one party inviting members of tne other
to attend its meetings; and it is even true
that in some places a Democrat would be
thought an intruder if he appeared in a Re
publican meeting, while in some others a Re
publican oould not, without risking Insult,
show himself in a Democratio assemblage.
Now all this is, of course, absurd; politioal
meetings are held or ought to be politioal
speeohes are made, and political arguments
used, in part at least, with the object of per
suading and convincing men now outside of
the party, and thus strengthening the party.
But if this custom of isolatiog.parties was
only absurd, we should say nothing; we speak
of it beoause it is mischievous; beoause it
threatens constantly more and more the
pmblio peaoe, and does more than the most
exciting questions to make our elections soenes
of violence, to breed and perpetuate hatred
between members of parties, and to prepare
the oountry for revolutionary soenes.
8uppose, for a moment, that our present
method of carrying on a politioal canvass
were abolished. Suppose that when it was
thought desirable to hold a publio meeting in
a ward, a city, or county, the managers of both
arties united to hire the room and pay for the
ighta and other expenses. Suppose each
selected a speaker, and the members of both
were then invited and expeoted to attend a dis
cussion of political questions,, by the two able
men selected.
In the first place, we should hear better
arguments, and less mere abuse and misrepre
sentation of political opponents. A speaker
who knows that if he misstates, a faot he will
be exposed by an opponent whoBe turn it will
presently be to speak, must be careful. The
rudest speaker would scarcely call his oppo
nents names if they were present to hear him.
Members of both parties listening together to
such discussions, would soon oome to ask for
truth rather than excitement; prejudices
would die out whiuh now separate oitizens to
the injury and danger of the country, and in
tolerance of opinion would be impossible where
the first condition of the canvass was the
friendly assemblage of both parties to disouss
the questions of tbe honr.
There is a growing danger in the present
solitary system; every year the peaoe is more
imperilled. Every year parties become less
tolerant of opposition; and if we do not re
form the manner of conducting a politioal can
vass, we may yet, in all the States, fall into
the Georgia habit of shooting our political op
ponents, instead of trying to convince them.
Tuesday's Triumph.
From the N. T. Timet.
Tlie significance of Tuesday's triumph is
attested by the prodigious efforts put forth by
the Democraoy to prevent it. They have
planned and labored from tbe start under a
conviction that the contest in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana would, in reality, deter
mine the national issue in November. In
every estimate, two of the three States have
been inoluded as essential to the election of a
Democratio President. The certainty of car
rying all three baa been hardly affirmed by the
Democratio press, and the imperative neces
sity of securing at least two they have not
attempted to conceal. North and Wast and
South, the supreme importance of carrying
Pennsylvania and Indiana has been admitted.
The Louisville Courier eohoed the universal
sentiment of the nartv whan it said. "It U
admitted on all fides that upon the result of
tneee elections nangs tne Issue of the great
Presidential contest." Everywhere the feel
ing was the same. With the .loss of these
States now, it was conceded, would end the
hope of viotory next month.
To avert this result the Demooratlo party
has withheld neither labor nor money. It has
been unsparing in its use of men and unscru
pulous in its choice of weapons. The best
men in the Eastern ranks have been detailed
for service in Pennsylvania, and the greenback
doctrine has been preached through the length
and breadth of Indiana and Ohio. Shameless
frauds have been resorted to in all the States.
The naturalization business has been pushed
with a recklessness and daring whioh Tam
many never rivalled. Kentucky Rabels oolo-
tilaed In Southern Indiana, and hordes of
ruffians were Imported to do voting servioe in
Philadelphia Nothing that desperation oould
sutraest or knavery execute has been left un
tried. It was to be a deolslve straggle, and
was so treated by the entire party, Inside and I
outside. '
Nor was any doubt as to the result con
fessed. The World nut down Pennsylvania
as safe by 1.1,000 majority; and, at the last
moment, the Washington Intelligencer assorted,
on alleged special authority from Philadel
phia, that "the Democratio leaders are entirely
confident of viotory in the city and State."
The Ohio oracles were not less oonfldent, and
from Indiana the predictions were most posi
tive. Reliance was, in every instanoe, planed
npon the power of the organized frauds whioh
had been contrived to overcome the genuine
expression of local feeling. So far as we
know, these applianoe were worked to the
utmost. Southern Indiana felt their force,
and Philadelphia suffered from their daring
and extent. Not a single party stone was left
unturned. Democrats of all grades worked as
for their politioal existenoe. "Never were
their ranks so full," the World of Wednesday
admits; "never was their battle fought more
gallantly."
And, after all, defeat has overwhelmed
them. The three States whose verdiot was by
common consent regarded as the pledge ani
foretaste of the November event have all pro
nounced for Grant and peaoe, in tones that
admit of no misapprehension. Not for some
days yet will the fall details be ascertained
with precision. Bat the general result is
already unmistakable. By majorities in
excess of our anticipations, three great States
have been placed in the Republican column,
with an assurance that these majorities will
be increased when the final effort shall be
made.
This glorious result has not been achieved
without work. The Republicans have in
many localities had to oontend against a
superior organization, and in others with
lawlessness and wrong. They have fought,
therefore, against odds, with a result whioh
has been made possible by the potenoy of
sound principle and the unpurchaseable con
victions of a loyal people. The magnitude of
the interests at stake has been appreciated.
The merits of the struggle between Grant, the
representative of Unionism and law and peace,
and Blair, the representative of revolution and
anarchy between Grant, the exponent of
national faith, and Seymour, the mouthpieoe
of repudiators have been understood; and
the judgment recorded on Tuesday by three
States will three weeks hence be ra'.iflad by
the country.
"Push Things."
Prom the JV. T. Tribune.
No intelligent citizen can have doubted,
what no intelligent European Liberal has
dreamed of doubling, that Ulysses S. Grant is
the decided choice of a large majority of the
American people for next President. If there
had never been any political parties in this
conntry, such would have been their choice;
while, as between his politios and Seymour's,
the people decidedly prefer the former. His
eleotion has been, from the hour of Seymour's
nomination, all but inevitable.
lie could only be beaten by lulling the ma
jority into an apathy born of overweening
confidence, and then polling an enormous
fraudulent vote against him. Apathy there is
not, and will not be; so that his eleotion is
practically assured. But if a quarter of a
million illegal votes can be polled against him
his majority may be so reduced that he will
go into the White House embarrassed, enfee
bled, paralyzed, by them agnitude of the oppo
sition. Nay, he may even be beaten in spite
of his popular majority; einoe a change of
40,UU0 votes in lb4 would nave beaten Lin
coln, though it would have left him a popular
majority of over 300,000.
We must "take a bond of fate," by in
creased vigilance and activity henoeforth to
the eleotion. And foremost among our duties
stands that of guarding against fraudulent
naturalizations and fraudulent votes.
The great majority of our reoent immigrants
from Europe see fit to ally themselves with the
enemies of impartial freedom with the cham
pions of privilege and caste of caste based
upon color. Why they do so is their own
concern; the fact is to be respeoted, and that is
our affair; they voted down impartial suffrage
in Connecticut; they have twice defeated it in
Minnesota; they will generally vote against it
in Iowa, as they recently did in Wisoonsin.
They form the only effective obstaole to its
triumph in this State.
If three hundred thousand persons shall vote
next month as naturalized when they legally
have not been, Grant's popular majority will
thereby be reduced fully 250,000. We cannot
afford to have it thus reduced, and must meet
and bailie the arts whereby the wholesale
fabrication of illegal voters has been reduced
to a soienoe. And this i the remaining work
of the canvass, or the most of it. The people
have made up their minds to vote, and enough
of them will vote for Grant; what we have
mainly to do is to see that the legal are not
overborne by illegal votes.
We have just been badly cheated by frau
dulent naturalizations and colonizations in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, but not half
so badly as we should have been but for our
enthusiasm, organization, and vigilance. We
have been cheated out of a few Congressmen
and members of the Legislature; had there
been no Grant Clubs, we should have been
cheated out of States and a general triumph.
We are able to stand a limited amount of fraud,
but not fraud without limits.

The late Elections Their Satisfactory
lU'bulls.
From the N. T. Herald.
The results of the lae elections in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska, as far as
ascertained, appear to give very general satis
faction to the masses of both parties. The
Republicans are somewhat disappointed in
some of their State majorities, but, whatever
the small figure to which Pennsylvania may
be whittled down, they will be satisfied in
Wing secured that important State, because
j0"! to the Democraoy settles the Presi
dentlal contest against Seymour and Blair be
yond all redemption. Thus assured of the
election of Grant and Colfax, the Republicans
are in a very happy frame of mind; for they
had their doubts of Pennsylvania, the loss of
which would have materially shaken their cal
culations, especially in reterence to New York.
The Demoorats in this section, on the other
hand, had given up Ohio, had almost glven up
Indiana, and were prepared even for the loss
of Pennsylvania, while making the most
desperate struggle ever known in the Com
monwealth to carry it. They had, in faot,
pretty generally, very soon after the Maine
election, oome to the conolusion that it was all
up with Seymour. They are, therefore in
clined to aooept with philosophical resignation
the general results of these October eleotlons,
and especially in view of their gains to the
next Congress. From Philadelphia to the
western boundary ofIndiana the Republi
cans fall far behind their splendid Congres
sional majorities of 18U(j; and the reason for
this falling off, though repeatedly given in
our editorial columns, we cannot here avoid
repeating again.
in 1806 the Republicans made their fight for
Congress on the constitutional amendment
fourteen, against Mr. Johnson's patent-right
polioy of Southern restoration, and the popu
larity of that amendment oarrled every North
ern State and gave the party in power almost
three-fourths of the present House of Repre
sentatives. But in 1867, inflated with their
grand successes, the radioals of Congress
abandoned this fourteenth amendment and
proceeded to their military and universal
negro suffrage system of Southern reconstruc
tion, and the popular reaotion which set in at
onoe against them changed the whole faoe of
things with the New York eleotion of last No
vember, and offered the Demooracy a fine open
ing for the Presidential suooession. They
turned the tables upon themselves iu their
Tammany Convention, with their ticket aud
platform of Seymour and Blair; but still we
see that the people have not forgotten the
radical excesses of the Fortieth Congress. We
see that while the popularity of General Grant
is felt in every hole and corner of the ooun
try, that while the people delight in honoring
the great champion of the Union cause in the
war, and still abhor Copperheadism, they
have no affection for those fanatioal radicals
prominently connected with the obnoxious
radical measures of Congress of 18(37.
We will take two oases in Ohio by way of
illustration. First, there is Vallandlgham, the
aooepted embodiment of ultra Copperheadism.
He is again defeated for Congress, and in a
district which a War Demoorat, no doubt,
could have carried very handsomely. Next
there is Ashley, the oonspiouous impeachment
leader in Congress, who is, it appears, - re
jected by his constituents beoause he has been
not the sort of representative they wanted.
We see, in short, from the Congressional re
sults of these October elections, that while
Ueneral Grant is heartily the choice of the
people for the Presidency, they want no more
of the ultra radicalisms of Congress. Here,
then, is a valuable hint to the mismanaged
Demooracy. It is useless for them to waste
any more labor or ammunition upon Seymour
and Blair. Their proper course henceforth is
to concentrate their efforts and their resources
upon their Congressional candidates. They
may still cut down the radical majority in the
House of Representatives to less than a two-
thirds vote; and if they do this the veto power
under rresident urant may yet beoome a
power to be respected.
Meantime, we expeot some gooi results in
the South from these late Northern eleotions.
We expeot that the Southern Democracy will
get that prevailing Southern Demooratlo delu
sion out of their heads that Seymour and Blair
are to be elected, and will even begin to sus
pect that the probabilities are in favor of
Grant's election without the aid of even a vote
from the reooustruoted States. We expect,
accordingly, very soon, a considerable abate
ment of tfcose disorderly political exoitements,
bloody party collisions, and mysterious assas
sinations down South, so numerous there of
late as to seriously threaten a general reign of
violence. When the lawless Southern despe
radoes on both sides discover that the Presi
dential suooession is fixed, whatever they may
do, they will naturally pause to reflect on their
folly and subside into a spirit of mutual tolera
tion. In every point of view, North and South,
we look for a new "era of good feeling" under
General Grant. In view of his eleotion we may
say that is already beginning, while in regard
to the reign of radicalism we are surely near
the beginning of the end.
Progress of the Times.
From the Boston Fast.
A general phrase is misohievous, instead of
serviceable, when it is forced to surrender its
true meaning to the charlatanry of a false
one. The party that at present holds control
of the Government has used the word "pro
gress" until, from the marked contrast be
tween the word itself and its application, it
has lost its virtue in its hands. Worse than
that even, it has been stripped of its skin for
a covering for aims diametrioally its opposite.
Radicals have muoh to say of the progress of
the times, and many charges to make against
Democracy lor falling behind in the maroh,
and even for trying to take steps backwards.
Any aoousation is perhaps good enough until
it has been examined and found unable to
pass the ordeal. If radicalism is the true
index finger of this expansive age, it is the
bold pioneer in the path of genunine advance
ment; if, in a word, it is the embodiment and
synonym of progress itself, then it will be
easy for it to tell us whither that progress is
tending. We ask not merely for the thing,
but for the logio of the thing.
Progress can tend only to larger personal
freedom, and thenoe to a more marked indi
viduality of thought. Our republioan system
contains the germinal principle of it, as its
own central idea, viz., that the power which
people do not delegate they reserve. That
single idea is the inspiration of our written
Constitution; all power is inherent in the
people, and what is yielded is the whole that
agents and servants are authorized to employ.
But that plain idea is the very one which radi
calism professes to spurn. It demands not
the Constitution, but the "modern improve
ments" to it. Its undeniable aim is to concen
trate power by taking it from the people. It
usurps, but does not distribute. It consoli
dates, but does not diffuse. Our federative
system, which is direotly the opposite of this,
leaving power undisturbed in the various
communities that are named Slates that, it
seems to any reasoning mind, is the system
under which to promete personal freedom and
true individuality. Then why is not that the
only progressive system, and why is not a
tendency to consolidation the foe to such a
system f
No political scheme, it seems to most men,
could be the equal of our matchless Constitu
tion in respect of the room it leaves for per
sonal ecdeavor. That is the seoret of our
growth as a federation. Oar strength has
invariably been measured by our expansion.
In all the varied pursuits and callings to
which men addiot themselves, it leaves them
perfectly free. Under such a system, with an
unexampled soil and climate, no people in
heriting enterprise and energy oould have
failed to advance and prosper. And in the
successful past our Government has been
strong, not by reason of the excessive power
held in individual hands, but because each
and all, remote and near, held so large a share
of real power in their own. It was from the
diffusion of power, rather than its concentra
tion, that our Government aooumulated the
true resources of strength and enduranoe. It
was with our civil; as Jefferson said it would
prove with our military system the first ap
proach of serious trouble would demonstrate
that it was the most invulnerable in exist
ence, because every man had a share in it of
his own.
' Now the more there Is taken from the Indi
vidual and lodged in the oentral organization,
the weaker the system will beoome. It is
merely turning the pyramid over on its apex.
Is it "progress" to have a dynasty, by- what
ever name oalled, set up to do our thinking
for at! . Or to put us to school; to show us
how some may make mony and others may
not; to teach us to respect our agents and ser
vants more than we do ourselves? Consolida
tion is the one great enemy whioh our repub
lican system has to fear; aud they are traitors
to that system who would persuade the peo
ple that the decentralizing tendency is to
weakness. No one boooums a vigorous
swimmer who trusts entirely to bladder); hn
must strike out and sustain himself. Bat
radicalism, seeking its own advantage alwy,
wonld persuade the people that there must
be another depository of power than them
selves; that there must be a strong oentral
government, original rather than derivative,
iu which they must in the last rsort oonfiie.
And on this pretense they would vault into
the saddle and seize the reins. That is the
precise opposite to Demooracy.
The Yontlifnl, Indomitable Democracy.
From the A. Y. Wot Id.
Democrats may justly cherish an honorable
pride in tbe vigor, courage, steadiness, loyalty
to principle, and patriotism of the great party
which has made so gallant a fight in the Ojto
ber eleotions. Considering that, two or three
years ago, the Democratio party was pro
claimed "dead" by its opponents; that every
Republioan newspaper predicted for it the fate
of the old Federal party after the last war with
England; considering that Congress and all
the State governments were controlled by its
bitter foes; that it was overborne by calumnies;
that its statesmen were buried in the obsourity
of private life, and that four-fifths of the most
widely circulated journals have daily labored
to bring it into disrepute and odium con
sidering all these adverse and depressing
circumstances, it is a signal proof of
enduring vitality that the party has been
able, in the late elections, to oontest every
inch of ground against its opponents, and,
in spite of their most strenuous efforts,
to oome within a few votes of beating them in
an enormous poll of many hundreds of thou
sands. Indiana we have either redeemed from
the Republicans, or have come so near it that
there is scarcely any peroeptible margin in the
strength of the two parties, although the Re
publicans had a large majority in that State,
and although it is the home of the candidate
for Vice-President, one of the most popular
men in the party. In Pennsylvania, we have
carried its chief city, next to New York the
most populous in the oountry, and a change of
a few thousand votes would have given us that
great State. In Ohio, the Republioan majority
is but a trifle compared with what it used to
be a few years ago. For a party that was so
confidently and so jeeringly pronounced
' dead," this is a very handsome show. Bat
our gains were not as great as the party de
sired and deserved.
In inquiring why, having come so near sun
cess in these elections, we have just missed it,
two reasons appear, in the absence of either of
which our triumph would have been certain.
These reasons are such as to show that a ma
jority of the people are really on our side, and
have been repelled from our support by things
having no proper connection with the merits
of the canvass. If the military prestige of
General Grant had been out of the soale we
should have succeeded; or, that remaining, if
the perversions of General Blair's position had
been out of the scale, we should have suc
ceeded. It would be paying a poor compli
ment to General Grant, or to the
judgment of the party that nomi
nated him, to say that his popularity
has not been worth to the Republicans of
Pennsylvania half of the meagre majority by
which they have carried the State. Put half
of that small majority on the other side, and
the two parties would be equal. If that small
number of votes are due to the popularity of
General Grant and it would be ridiculous to
suppose the contrary the eleotion, had it
been decided on the issues, would have been
in favor of the Democratio party. The same
remark will apply to the other States. On
the Demooratlo prinoiplt s, pure and simple,
we should have succeeded. We have been
beaten by reasons quite extraneous to the
questions in issue.
We could easily have overcome the popu
larity of General Grant, if another point had
not been raised to divert attention from the
issues. The position of General Blair and
some of the Southern leaders has been indus
triously perverted and misrepresented, and an
impression produoed that the Demooratlo
party is virtually pledged to overthrow the
new State governments by foroe. This Blander
has repelled more than votes enough to have
turned the balanoe in our favor. The narrow
escape of the Republicans from a defeat is not
due to their principles, but to the military
prestige of Grant and the aspersions cast upon
Blair. In a simple oontest of prinoiple we
should have succeeded; and we may succeed
yet, if we can remove or neutralize these ad
verse influences, which have really nothing to
do with the merits of the publio questions.
Can this be done 1 It is a grave question,
fraught with the most momentous conse
quences. We commend it to the attention,
to the most earnest reflection, of the recog
nized leaders of the party. We have still
nearly three weeks for action; and where so
slight a counterpoise would suffice to turn the
scale, prompt action if it be judicious as well
as prompt will accomplish wonders. If, in a
review of the whole situation, it shall be con
cluded that mistakes have been made, it is
better that they should be corrected now,
than that the country should be dragged
through four more weary years of strife, to be
redeemed then by measures of the same kind
that might, by a magnificent exeroise of
pluck, be as easily adopted now. Whatever
a sagacious forecast may perceive to be the
proper court e for the Democratio party four
years hence, if it should be beaten now, had
better be pursued at onoe. The time has
come the hour has struck when we must
turn our faces resolutely to the future. This
is a young country, with a great career be
fore it which no imagination can grasp; a
majority of our voters are young men abound
ing in hope, enterprise, ardor, activity; and
the oountry being in the dawn of a new era.
when all minds are filled with expectation and
excitement, that party has the best
chances of a great future which is most in
sympathy 'with the youthful, irresistible
energies of the nation. A growing na
tion, like an improving individual, has
always something to learn. A politioal party
which does not advance with the nation, and
enter into the fulness of its expanding, exu
berant life, is on the declivity which descends
to deoadenoe and deorepitude. The Demo
cratio party is full of vigorous, youthful,
appiring elements; similar elements in the
other party are yearning to join it, if we will
but have the boldness to build a bridge on
which they can cross. The Demooratlo party
cannot die; its vitality, its invincible tenacity
of life, the sanguine confidence with whioh it
gathers energy from defeat, bespeak a great
deftiny still in reserve.
- If our leaders should be oonvlnoed by the
result of the lste'elections that some mistakes
were made by not following their original
judgment; if those who disagreed with them
in opinion sow see that they misjudged; if
there is any impediment to suooess which can
yet be removed by noble daring, br self-sacrificing
virtue, or a bold stroke of polioy, now
is the honr for aotion I It would be an infinite
pity if, when we are so very near suooess, we
should fail to win it by the lack of a little
boldness. L'audace, Vaudace, toujourt I'audacel
Our principles have not been rejeoted in these
elections; there is no call to ohange them. All
other elements of the oanvass are light and
