THE EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1868. SriRIT OF THE rRESS. Sditokial orisiosB of inn leading jouhhals CI'OH CtilEKNT TOPICS COMPILKD EVKKT DAT FOB THE ETEKINO TELUORArH. The Elections. From the Richmond iHejiuch. The premonitory elections of Tuesday settle the question of the next Presidency in almost ever taan's mind, we enppoe. Not havlDg deemed any other result jirobable, we have not to add to our deep giiwf at thii result the sharp pangs of disappuibttneut. We conjecture that there will be now no very vigorous fight over the Presidential eleo tion. The whole strength of the parties, Including the Immense means they had con centrated to inlliieuoe the opinions aud votes Of men, having been exerted npon the struggle of Tuesday, we imagine that the defeated party will hardly continue the contest. It is clearly without Lope. That the canvass has been most wretohedly mismanaged is indisputable. The nomination made by the Democrats was the worst they could have made out of the list of leading aspirants they had before them. The body of men who it is supposed coerced Mr. Seymour's Domination proteased inexpressible repug sanoe to Judge Chase, and yet were guilty of the monstrous inconsistency of nominating the man who attended the Convention with the avowed object of securing the nomination of Judge Chase. There were two alternatives before the New York Convention via., to nominate a man with a view to his election, or to nominate one wholly npon principle. Chase would have done for the first; Pendleton or Hendricks for the second. But the Convention avoided both, and nominated a friend of Chase, who had not his (Chase's) power, and who yet wanted the boldness and stamina to main tain the principles avowed by the Conven tion; therefore there has been a heavy fall between two stools. Mr. John Quincy Adams plainly foresaw this resnlt. Ilia speech at Colombia the day before the election was shaped to meet the exigency, and Mr. Alama deserves very great credit for his frankness, bis honest and wiBe advice to the people of the South. This speech elevates him in dignity and publio respect. We recom mend it to the perusal and consideration of every Southern man. No party can keep this country prostrate or long continue sectional oppressions and inequalities of rights amongst the States. It may be that what has happened at the South has shed enough light to guide even the more prejudiced Northern statesmen to some policy more wise, more beneficent ta the nation at large, than that which they have so ruthlessly pressed npon the South. We can certa'nly do no better than to be cheerful, and hope for the best. We say to the people, in the language of Mr. Adams, "Call to your aid that grandest of all human qualities self-control and all will yet be well." Revolt in Line of Haltle. From the N. T. Tribune. The returns, which at first afllioted the World by their bad shape, have Anally reached our neighbor in a sufficiently intelligible form to enable it to find out what has happened. Its leading editorial on Thursday morning consisted of two columns of doubly-leaden wisdom thereby evoked. To our surprise, the famous arithmetician succumbs to the pressure. We thought better of him than that. But, poor man, he has been fighting with the figures a long time, and at last they are too many for him. One lingering spark of his ancient flame does reveal itself. He shows that if hair the Kepubliuan majority in Pennsylvania had been given to the Demo crats, then why then the two parties would have been equal I Accordingly we have this half explained away. They persisted in voting with the Republicans, and so defeating the Democrats, for two reasons, we are told, either of which, if rightly considered, sufficiently ac counts for it. First, General Grant was run ning against the Democrats. Second, General Blair was running for them. But the hand that showed the gains in Maine has not wholly lost its cunning. See how delicately and charmingly, in the statement of this double reason for defeat, the art of putting things is illustrated: "Two reasons appear. In the absence of either of which our Uluuipa would Uave been certain. Thee reasons are such as to snow mat a ma jority of me people are realty on our aide, and nave been repelled from our support by tilings having no proper couneolirn with tbe merits of the canvass. If the military prestige of General Urant had been oat of the scale we should have succeeded; or, that remaining, If the perversions of General Blair's position bad been out of the scale, we sliould nave suc ceeded." "The bearings of this observation lays in the application on it." In other words: "We may succeed yet, if we oan remove or neutralize llitse adverse lnfluenoea.whloU have really nothing to do with ine merits of the publio questions. Can this be done? It Is a grave question, fraught with the most mo mentous contequencus. We oommeud It to the attention, to the most earnest retloclloii, of the recognized leaders of the party, We have still nearly three weka for action; and where ao Blight a counterpoise would sutlice to turn tne scale, prompt ac;lon if it bo judicious as well as prompt will accomplish wonders. If, In a review of the whole hkuu'Iou, It shall b) concluded that mistakes have been made, It Is better that the? should be c irtectud now, than that the country should bo Orated through four more weary yearn of Ktrll'o, to be redeemed then by rummies of the same ktud that mlgUt, by a magnificent exercise uf pluck, be as easily adopted now." The "magnificent exercUe of pluck" will not be exhibited. "The adverse iolluenoes" cannot be "removed or neutralized." Demo cratic candidates, from Seymour to Vallaud'g ham, have a profound understanding of the art of deolining before the nomination. They don't understand tho first motion in suoh a process after being nominated. It is within the bounds of possibility that by a combined, conoentrated attack of all arms, horse, foot, and dragoons, the warrior of the ticket might be made to retreat. But as for the civilian, the World may as well dismiss its crazy hopes. No miser aver clutohei Ms gold more closely, no old maid ever clung to the hope of yet aohievintr matrimony more fondly, than Horatio Seymour clings to the nomination it cost him so much to win. Ail things are pos sible with the Democracy, Muoe the party of Andrew Jaokson has become the party of treason: the party of Thomas Jelldrson tne party of slavery; the party of Dix the party of Seymonr. The head of the ticket might then be foroed off after all; but it could only happen, it would seem, after some suoh con vu'sion of hearts, and throats, and tears as , put mm on. For the rest, we have only to observe that. Laving mistaken the symptoms of the Dftno cratio disease, the World is naturally at fault in proposing a remedy. The causes of their defeat last Tuesday go below and beyond the mere worthlessness and offunsiveness of their candidates. Mr. prank uiair's fulmlnations. aa such, are of as little oonsequenoe as Mr. Vrank Blair himself. Mr. Horatio Seymour's weakness and malignity are only more oonspU nnona. not more dangerous, since he has been lifted from his insignifloanoe by a national nomination. What has made these men not merely displeasing but odious to the people, is the faot that they are plaoed on a platform I of rebellion and rascality. I On the Fourth of July, In Tammany Hall, the Demooratie party, still great, and with the prestige of nnexpected successes, stood at the dividing of ways. It was almost persuaded to accept the issues of the war, to turn its back npon the past, apply itself to the questions of the day in the spirit of the day, and plaoe a great statefman at its head. We do not be lieve that it would, even thus, have attained success. The people had made up their minds that the men and party that had saved the country should rule it. Bat, with such a policy and leader, the Democratic organization would have had a present and a future. In stead, falling then into the hands of the Uebels, it now has neither. The World calls in vain for a change of base. A change of nature is what is needed, and paper bulletins, on the heels of a rout and the eve of another battle, can work no such miracle. It will be seen that we attaoh very little im portance to the convulsions that are now agi tating the leaders of the Democracy. They are merely an acknowledgment of the hand writing on the wall. Armies that acknowledge themselves whipped and ready to ran do not easily change front in the face of the enemy. Parties that admit themselves defeated by the popular loathing of their prinoieles cannot recall vanishing victory by kiokiug aside the candidates who embody those principles. The Democratic party defeated itself by declaring for revolution at the South and dishonesty at large. No change of candidates can erase that record. The damned epot will not out at their bidding. To seek to conceal it by other can didates is absurd. Hancock as a figure-head would not interpose bulk enough to out off the echoes of the Rebel yell of delight with which the platform was received. Johnson would only turn the present comedy into a farce. The name of Salmon P. Chase is the only one to charm with, and he will repel their solicitations. However ambitious he may be, his ambition has not made him a fool. He knows that to plaoe him where Seymonr stood, on Vallandigham's and Wade Hampton's platform, would be only to soil a great name for naught. He knows that his candidacy could not change the fell spirit of the Rebel Democracy, which has startled and shocked the North. Much as the nation has trusted him, he knows that it would scorn his promises if he stood on the Demo cratic platform, and received the support of the party that in three short months has made the South as rebellions as in 18u'0. The bland ishments with which Mr. Chase was last night assailed are in vain. His enemies say he might do much to attain the Presidency; his worst enemies never accused him of a disposi tion to sell himf elf for nothing. And so the distress of the defeated Democracy returns. Whom shall they oonscript f Friends t you see how the enemy's line is wavering. Once more let us take up our leader's heroic order, 1 Push things 1" Final Collapse of Saul it Anna. From the JV. Y. Herald. Santa Anna is again in trouble. Ever siuoe his exile by the Juarez government this head less rooster has excited the pity of the world. All the arts of revolutionists have been ex hausted by bim in the vain effort to get an egg from which to hatch a full-blooded revolu tion in Mexico. Every one of tlieui, however, has proved addled. The old hero's cork leg evidently can no longer bear a spur, and the strategy of the cockpit wilt not avail with slippery custom-is liku the greasers. Santa Anna should have prohted by his experience of the last few years in the United States. He came here with the belief that his revolution ary plans would be aided and abetted by the American Government. This was natural, for the policy of our State Department has been and still is one of irrepressible conflict. Bat Santa Avon did not prove irrepressible, lie showed himself to be a headless rooster, fit to be consigned to the care of Mr. Bergh's society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. With the full determination to again bleed his native country, the old gamecock went into the arena only to be bled himself. He got entangled in lawsuits for the equipments necessary to a first-class filibustering raid, left here in tow of his heartiest enemies, to get up a pronuncia miento in Vera Cruz, was captured, and would have forfeited his life but for the fact that the Juarez government knew him to be a headless rooster. Not deterred by bis bitter experience the old hero would venture on slippery ground again, pre suming on the American stability of his game leg. This time, again, he took into his confidence emissaries of the very gov ernment he was seeking to overthrow. Colonel Cosme Garcia Padilla pumped the whole secret out of Santa Anna, General Ta boada, and the rest of the interventionists who have their headquarters at Havana. Accord ing to the revelations made to the Mexican Congress canta Anna was to restore the laws of the late empire, renew relations with Eu rope, and give the United States to understand that their annexation policy should go no further. His addresses to the Mexioan people were to eet forth that the United States wanted the northern frontier States of Mexioo in con sideration of our assuming the foreign debt of that republic. The late mission of Minister Romero was to be marked as the opening wedge of Uncle Sam in the dimembermeut and eventual annexation of the republic. Bat all this line soheme failed; Padilla got the seoret, divulged it, and Captaiu General Ler snndi ordered the headless rooster to be re moved from the Havana cockpit. Without a doubt banta Anna has been cruelly treated in all this busiuess. He needs and will get the sympathy of many iu our community. When such a society ai Mr. Bergh's can prosper here there must certainly be a large class of sympathizers with one so cruelly treated as Santa Anna has been. We fear, however, that he is mostly to blame himself; although it is undoubtedly cruel to encourage an old headless rooster with but one leg to enter the arena with a cock that is lustily orowing over having pulled feathers from the eagle of France and drawn blood from a scion of the Uapsbnrgs. The Ever-Vigorous Democracy. From the tf. y, Wond. The great and gallant fight which the Demo cratic party has made in the Ootober eleo tionsinoreases the pride which its friends have always felt in its indomitable courage and energy. If these Ootober elections were the final contest, the result would fill ns with the profoundest regret that such a wealth of high and noble qualities should have been expended in vain; that they should have brought ns so olose to the summit of success, and yet have stopped Just short of it. "When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw," and, instead of hurling it the thirty feet intervening between him and the mark, the too great weight of the missile causes it to fall short by a few inches, our admiration of the mighty feat inoreases the regret that it was not quite successful. But if this is a mere trial, preliminary to the final throw, our pride in his prodigious strength inspires the wish that it should not a second time be expended in vain. If the armor of the hero has slightly impeded the freedom of his motions, let him strip away the inoumbranoe I If the weight is a few ounoes, or a few pounds, too heavy for his strength, let a stone-hammer be ap plied and strike off the superfluous fragments! If an elephant is to pass a river on ice not quite heavy enough to bear him, he had better lose a tusk than be drowned in the stream. If we had been badly beaten in the October lections, we should not tbiak of making these suggestions. But, in point of faot, we have grazed the mark which- we meant to hit. We have probably carried Indiana; the Republican majority in Pennsylvania is but a few paltry thousauds made up of fraudulent votes, and even in Ohio the majority of our opponent) is less than a sixth part of what it was when their power was at its height. We feel lika a person who, in a lottery, has drawn the next to the winning number, or the owner of a horse that failed to win the race by half a neck in consequence of haviog slightly too heavy a rider. The vexitio i of dfeat is never so keenly Lit as when success was just within grspp. We have not been beaten in these eleotions on the proper issues of the canvass, but by things quite extraneous to the publio ques tions. The military prestige of the Republi can candidate has really nothing to do with the questions of policy involved, and yet that has deprived ns of more votes than were necessary for our success in every State. But this is an element which we cannot eliminate. Another thing which has arrested the title of our gains, and has done us far more injury than the military popularity of General Orant, is the use that has been made of some inconsiderate expressions of General Blair previous to his nomination. The Re publican leaders, who are doubtless good judges of the kind of appeals best calculated to prevent desertions from their party, have harped npon those expression more than upon all other topics put together. They have suc ceeded in filling timid or credulous minds with apprehensions that the eleotion of the Demo cratic candidates would be followed by the em ployment of the army for the forolble ej Action of the negro governments, in a rough Crom wellian style. There can be no doubt that the American people yearn for peace, and that nothing could be so fatal to the suooess of the Democratio party as a belief that it would at tempt to cut the gordian knot of Southern politics with the sword. The use made of General Blair's letter has, of eourse, been uu oandid and unfair; but what care the unscru pulous radicals lor fairness or candor? Enough has been said to give a color to their perver sions, and in point of fact they have deluded thousands of weak minds into the absurd be lief that the Democratio party is asking the country to indorse a revolutionaiy programme. The mischief of suoh representations does not depend npon their being true, but upon their being believed. They carry an imputation which the party cannot stand under, and un less they can be in seme way effectually re butted, we shall again come just near enough to success to wonder that we failed. This calumny needs to be met by something more effectual than a mere argumentative refutation. Every time it is refuted, our op ponents slur over or ignore the exposure, and rehearse again their quotations from the 15 rod head letter, asserting that it was on acoount of that letter, and of those particular passages in it, that General Blair.wai nominated. Now we Euppoee that anybody can easily conceive of ways by which this damaging libel upon the Democratio party could be summarily ex ploded so exploded that no more would be left of it than a heap of exploded gunpow der. Of the two or three ways in which this may effectually be done, we do not feel called npon to particularize any; for the indi viduals are very few iu whose bauds the re medies lie, and the remedies themselves are not so recondite a3 to need any ghost from the other world to reveal what they are. It is obvious enough what they are not. There is nothing to be gained by the incessant and endless contradiction by our party organs of a calumny which the Republican organs will repeat faster than we can print the contradic tions, which never reach their readers. The publio mind is educated quickly by events, slowly by arguments. What is needed is some event, of such a nature that no voter in the United States can ignore it; of suoh significance that it can, by no possibility, be misinterpreted. This requires something of the boldneBS ef a great soul, equal to the de mands of a great emergency. A bold manoeuvre, after a repulse on the field of battle, has two good effects: it places the men where they fight to better advantage, and it keeps up their courage by showing that their commanders are competent to deal with new features of the situation. But to go on charging in the same way against the same obstacles, as Burnside did at Frederioks burg, discovers a poverty of resouroes which impairs the confidence of the men. A repulse with nearly equal numbers is nothing serious, so long as they see that the resources of their officers are not exhausted. No Demoorat admits that the suooess of the party binds it to use the army to disperse the new State governments. And as the party has no such intention, why should it bear the odium of the damaging imputation f As it contemplates only peaceful and legal modes of redress, it is simple justice to the party that its skirts should be cleared of aspersions which, so far as they are believed, repel voters from its ranKs. me party, as a body, has no other means of clearing itself of this injurious imputation than by futile contradic tious in its public j mrnals. But there are individuals who cau extinguish this calumny in a moment, and silence It lorever. And this must be done, if we are to win the eleotion. This is a time for plain talk, and we trust we have spoken intelligibly enough for those whom it most concerns to take our meaning INSURANCE COMPANIES.
