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.

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
