"Sanvctyil IVut." From the Kern Ytrk Tri wie, It is writu-n tliat to ird fhfl evening of th battle of Waterloo, 'a'ter the Kmnoh Guard had failed in its desperate etlort to break the KDglish front, tuern wits a pause, a sudden shivering of the hi;t Vr'w,k hues, a bustle, a hubbub, shouts swelling into a olamor, and finally deepening luto tlie terrible and fatal cry, ''Sauce qui pent." la a moment the mighty army of Frauca became a wild, hust ling, panto-stricken mob. All that the genius and magnetism of Napoleon and his generals could do was in vain. Kntreaty, reproaoh, And command were unheeded. Brave men joocked their captains, all decency and honor were lost, and it only remained for the trium phant legions of the allies to put their horses into a gallop to complete the destruction the Frenoh. But or the cry that rose with deep and shuddering emphasis from the army of Napo leon, the shattered regiments might have been retreated into a position of safety, and pre pared for another contest. But for the cry raibed by the World aud the New York and Ohio leaders of the Democracy, that party might have kept its legions in good order, and entered the November canvass with honor if not with victory. Yet what do we see f The Democratio party has beoome a Demooratio mob. The question is no longer how can they attack the Republicans, but how can they save themselves. Head this from the World: 1. "The result of the recent elections having vindicated tils (Governor Hey moor's) saguclty, he owes It to himself and toe party 10 assume that position of authority which belong to his abilities, and which the masses of the party crave that be should take." 2. "Having witnessed the results of inferior leadeisblp, it is his duly to bring back the can vass to the moderate aud proselytizing ground on which it was his origin i wish to piaue It." 2 "After these defeat, the mnsnes or the De mocracy need words of encouragement from their trusted leader." 4. "Nothing Is so persuasive or so steadying aa truth, spoken with uoue-a courage." 6. "The Democratic masses yearn for the truth from the lips of the statesman who, bestdns being their accepted candidate, has the clearest head, the best gifts of utterance, the largest power to command attention, the greatest moral weight of any man in the parly." 0. "They do not desire him to prophesy smooth deceits, but to tell them, lu all inmost plainness, why they have luiltd.and now they may yet succeed." 7. "A party cannot subsist upon vaporing and make-believe." 8. "Unless we can change the aspect of the canvass we shall have a repetition lu November of a result like that whlou has overtaken us in the prelimlnai v content." 9. "If anybody tells the people that things look, well rs they stand, or that nothing which can now be done would better them, he Is la the first casedisuouest, aud in the second mis- 10. "Governor Seymour can now aid us much, but" 11. "General Blair can aid us far more, in a different way, by a chlvahiu action superior to all eloquence." All of which means "Sauve pui peut" let every man shift for himself. Here cornea the editor of the most pretentious, if not the most consistent journal of the Demooratio party, begrimed with the smoke of the battle, lie comes in a panic "Seymour won't do." He shrieks, "I 'crave' that he may retire. I have fonght under his 'interior leadership,' and I will not stop running until he is removed. I want 'words of encouragement,' or I will fight no more. He'd better stop lying, and tell the truth with 'honest courage,' and the truth is that every man, horse, gun, and baggage wagon is in full retreat 1 I am so badly whipped I 'yej.ni for truth !' I'm tired 'of smooth deceits,' and want my captain to tell us why we are whipped. Bragging is one thing fighting another. We have got to 'change our aspect' the enemy is upon us 1 If anybody says we ain't whipped, he lies! Let Blair stop talking and go away." When a leader is in this condition of mind it means that he has no army to lead that he is a fugi tive and a vagabond and that his followers are in full rout. "Sauve qui peut!" Look how they run! The whole line is in retreat, with the excep tion of the valiant l'omeroy, who comes to the front with a couple of scavenger carts, and deploys for aotion. Mr. Tilden'a condition of "serene confidence" has beoome one of hurried perplexity. Mr. Belmont dismisses his tailors and takes to his racing track. lie' will need no gorgeous uniform (or the Palace of St. Jamea. George Francis Train hears the noise over the sea, and instead of running with the World, orosses the lines and declares for Grant. MoClellan, with vast experience in managing retreats, deolines to command this wretched rabble, and takes refuge in a Philadelphia gunboat. And what has beoome of Pendleton? Like Brutus, perhaps be is transfixed upon his own sword. Ben. Hill's friends, finding that negro-walloping is at an end, now olamor for negro-voting. Sweeney and Tweed, in their fantastical Indian drebses, see that Sey mour is routed, and try to rally the line for Hoffman and save the baggage-wagous. Too latel Too late! "tauve qui peut!" All is a panio and uproar and the scampering ho its of routed Copperheads are whirling from the field. When a man is in danger of sudden death, or under the deep stress of imminent peril, it is his instinct to call upon some saint to save him; or to invoke the direct aud immediate help of Almighty God; or to vow that he will build a church or burn caudles if he is res cued; or te swear at everybody but himself for his calamity. Most frequently aud particu larly, if the danger is appalling, he instantly makes confession of his sins, aud, abandoning all hope of lite, beeks mercy by an abject and crawling penitence. This' is the pitiful position of our valiant editor. lie sneers at the "leadership," and yet he has been a trusted leader. He demands the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair, and yet he has never ceased to insist that their eleotlon was our only salvation. He insists upon truth-telling, aud fails to remem ber that no one has been more coudpicuously untruthful. He has spoken a hundred pro pheoies now they are all "smooth, deoeits." No one has vapored more recklessly now he wants "no more vaporing." He has told us that victory was inevitable new whoever says the oanvaBS "looks well" is "dishonest." "Suuveaui neut." "Sauve qui peut," every man for himself, and no man more essentially and emphatically than this blustering captain ! And now. bovs ! Drive them. "If Lae ia pushed," said Sheridan, as he fiercely tracked the Rebel army to Appomattox, "I think he will surrender." "Push things I" renlied the illustrious leader. This is the word we send along the Republican lines to day. Help Me, (.'asslus, or I Sink. FromthtN. Y. Timet. The Wot Id oaXli tot help lustily and yet a rood deal "like a biok girl." it la not satis lied with the despairing shriek it uttered, or with the chorus of shrieks which it evoked, when the news of the October disasters first astonished the Democratio party. Bat it keeps ehriekirjfr. It will not stop. Neither the pro tests of the party press, nor the disavowals of the party committee, feem to have the slight est elleot in silencing its olamor. It shouts for hrlp. Its decperate oonditlon may be Inferred from the fact that it looks to Seymour for advio and to Blair for aotion. It praises Seymour and exalts the wisdom of the Democratio Con vention for putting him in nomination. What ever has been done that is wrong, has not been done by Seymour. He is wine and pa triotic and "sound." "After these defeats," says the World, "the masses of the Democraoy need words of encouragement from their trusted leader." That's true but they won't get them. Seymour never encourages any body; be never feels enconraged himself, lie does not get "discouraged" as often as Blair, pel haps, but his diaoouragement is of a strange type. It strikes deeper and lasts longer. The country and the army looked to Sey mour, then Governor of New York, for "words of encouragement" during the war. Did they get them f Not muoh. The Gov ernor made a good many speeches, and wrote a good many letters; but there was not much "encouragement" in any of them. They were more doleful than any ditties ever said or sung. The Lamentations of the lamentable prophet Jeremiah were cheerful and inspirit ing songs, compared with the dismal diatribes and wofnl prophecies of this Democratio Solon. He bewailed the successes of our sol diers more than their defeats. "Successful coercion" was to him more disastrous than "successful rebellion." The most "en oou rag ing" thing he said during the war was that it had proved a "failure." The most cheerful observation he is recorded to have made was in his speech to the rioters, that his Adjutant had gone to Washington to stop the draft I We hope the World will persevere in its effort to get something "encouraging" out of Horatio. It cannot fail to do good when it comes. But we would not advise our dis tressed neighbor to wait too long for it, or to count too confidently on getting it at all. Don't let Blair off while waiting for Sey mour. Insist on hia giving his party the benefit of hia "chivalrio action," without waiting for Seymour's "sober counsels of a sincere statesman, who knows no art but robust integrity." So far aa the Damooraoy is concerned, that is one of the "Lost Arts," and we don't think that the World is likely to recover it through Governor Seymour's agency. However, there is nothing like perseverance in a good cause. Let the World, therefore, persevere. If pressed vigorously Blair may not surrender, but Sevmour will be very likely to say something. We advise the Woild to "push thiugs 1" Seymour and Blair. From the N. Y. World. The zeal with which the World labors to make Governor Seymour the central and, as it were, the sole figure in the Presidential canvass, is no transient Hash of excited feeling. It is a steady purpose resting upon a settled judgment of the exigencies of the campaign. We have already surmounted the most diffi cult obstaole in such an undertaking as we mean to accomplish. We have thoroughly aioused publio attention. We are quite secure that our arguments will not fall upon listless minds. For the moment, we command the attention of the whole country as no publio journal ever commanded it before. It is not, as yet, indeed, an entirely favorable attention; but when our case Is fully stated and our reasons weighed, we are confident that we shall have changed the carrent of publio thought. It is our intention that this Presidential campaign shall hereatter revolve around Gov ernor Seymour as its ohief pivot, and not around General Blair, as the Republicans have too successfully tried to make it. Governor Seymour's conception of the canvass was, from the beginning, broad and liberal. He has the wise moderation aa well as the far reaching sagacity of a statesman. General Blair, with a character full of generous ardor, is naturally impetuous and defiant, and in the unfortunate Brodhead letter he used some inconsiderate expressions, of whioh the Republtcana have made a great handle. Although General Blair waa only the candi date lor Vice-President, an office without power, the Republicans have made him the most prominent figure in the whole oanvasa, and have conveyed the impression that hia Broadbead letter waa the real platform of the Democratio party. This has done mlsohief precisely where we oonld least afford it, that is, among that class of wavering Republicans whom t should have been our ohief labor to briDe into the Demooratio party. Had it not been for this dishonest manoeuvre of the Re publicans we should easily have carried all the States wnion nave held elections in uoto ber. Considering how open the Brodhead letter is to misconstruction, we think that General Blair ought to withdraw, and thus put a sudden end to the mischievous promt nence that has been given him in the canvass, His withdrawal would accomplish in an in st ant what will otherwise cost several daya of assiduous labor at a stage of the campaign when time is infinitely precious. The World deems this a fit occasion to recall the following pertinent aud pregnant passage of Governor Seymour's letter of ao ceptanct: "The HepnUlcan pnriy. as well nn we. are in terehitu in pun inx ome cneck upon this vio lence. It mum be cleur lo every thinking tnlnd that it division oi p iwer tends lo cneck the violence of party actios), mid to ussure the peace and good oritur ot society, roe meouou hi h Democratic Kxt.cntlve and a majority ol members to Hie House or UepreneulMivr a wouia riot give to Hint. orulznt Ion power to make sudden or vlolet.t cuuiki s. ouii 11 would nerve to chuck those extreme incisure. waloa have beeu deplored by too be.it men or bom politi cal orgunlznt innn.

Tuo con 'lti m of civil war wbic h they cometuplate rouw be ubhoireut to eveiy iigut-tmuking man." It will be recollected that Governor Sey mour's letter of acceptauce was not written until a mouth atter the Democratic .National Convention. The Republicans had already made a mischievous use of the Brodhead let ter, and iu the passage we have quated Gover nor Seymour intended to counteract that im pression. His delioaoy to his associate on the ticket prevented any dlreot allusion to the per versions of GenMi Blair's letter; but nobody can doubt that he felt, and aimed to counter act, their injurious tendency. go important did the World deem this effort at the time that itrrinted this part of Governor Seymour's letter of aooeptance In the most prominent place on ita editorial page, marked the most suggestive expressions with a different type and enforoed their significance by editorial comments. Among other earnest things, w Bald: "Those Republican Journals whioh have been demanding proofs or Governor Boy mom 's statesmanship! may find them in this letter. It contains not a trace of that apasraodto vio lence of tone which marks busy, consequential InHlgnifioance. lie baa a steady g-ranp of tbe situation, and calm foresight both of obstacles and of the means of aurm.untluir them, lie speaks like a man oonsolous of resouroes, who sees no necessity for violeuoe, beoause he fedlg onpoble of putting thing In unori a light that candid opponents in tbe Sonata will not reftmn tt etr co-operntion. The iMoilera'lon, tbe Keif p Inn, the calm and courageous confl.ienoe of a natemftnpeak In every line or the letter." It waa our wish then, as it is oar determi nation now, that the views tf Governor Sey mour and not those attributed by the Repub licans to General Blair, should be rrgarded as the bala of the campaign of the Demooratio hide. Tens of thousands of credulous oitixsns, who inollne towards the Democratic party, have been retained in the Republican ranks by the raw-head-and-bloody-bones of another civil war. The absurdity of this bugbear led us to underestimate ita capacity for mischief, it is astonishing that anybody could have be lieved that the Demooratio party meant to dis perse the negro legislatures by the Federal army; but it is not at all surprising that those who did so believe should vote. against ua. As it was some imprudent expressions of General Blair that gave oolor to this foolish fear, his withdrawal ia the shortest way to oorrect the misapprehension. General Blair, with a chivalry whioh does him credit, has already expressed his willing ness to withdraw, if the good of the party re quires it. We think reflection will convince him that the ticket would be stronger if some other name were substituted for hia. The practical effect of the ticket, aa now made up, does not correspond to ita theory. The theory was, that the candidate for Vioe-Presl-deat should be a general and a recent Repub lican, in order to commend the tloket to the favorable consideration of dissatisfied Repub licans. But, in point of faot, General Blair is a much harder man for such citizens to vote for than Governor Seymour himself. Instead of softening hostility to the ticket. General Blair intensifies it. If so new a recruit to the Democraoy was not put on the ticket to conciliate Republicans, we can ima gine no good reason why he should be there at all. Hat he conciliated Republicans ? Is there any waverer in that party who oould more easily vote for General Blair than for a life-long Democrat? General Blair is per fectly competent to answer this Question. The party, after having put him on the ticket, feel it to be an ungracious thing to push him off; but if he thinks the cause would be bane. fited by his withdrawal, and that some other name would better suit the true theory of the ticket, he can graoefnlly perform an aot whioh would entitle him to Demooratio gratitude, and raise his reputation for chivalry and pub lio spun. The Demoralized Democracy. Front the Jf. Y. Herald. The contusion of Babel the confusion of tongues has fallen upon the demoralized De mocracy. They too have had their decisive defeats around Petersburg, and are on the run for Appomattox Court House. Had they fol lowed the advice of the llerald, as Seymour, under the counsels of John Van Buren, fol lowed it in 1862, the whole faceof things would nave been changed. After his splendid cam paign of Vicksburg, we foresaw what the pro motion of General Grant would not stop short of the White House. After that unparalleled campaign whioh began in the Wilderness, and enuea in Lee s surrender, it was manifest that Grant, as the Republican or Democratio can didate, would be our next President. For well on to two years, however, after Lee's surren der tbe opinion prevailed that General Grant was a war Democrat, and that accordingly the chances of seouring his great name for 1868 were decidedly in favor of the Democracy, if they would only abandon that fatal idea that tbe war was a failure. The Herald meantime had presented General Grant and urged his commanding popularity upon the Republicans; but the raliual leaders, managers, aud organs laughed at our presump tion. The Republican party, relying upou it own strength, they said, would have no doubt ful standard-bearer for the succession, who might turn out to be another John Tyir or Andy Johnson, bat they would have a man whose principles were thoroughly Republican, and so proclaimed to the four winds of heaven. Thus, in the State elections of 1807, the claims and the availability of General Grant for the suocesfion were studiously ignored by the radical managers, and Chase, as the great and reliable radical statesman, was brought into the foreground. Then we began to show, aud it began to be widely believed, that Chase would in all probability be the Republican candidate, and that to defeat him the War Democraoy would be able to compel the Demo cratio Convention to adopt General Grant. So it was that even the World at last began to discover in General Grant the qualities of a marvellous proper man for the Democracy on a new departure. They only had to admit the settlement of certain questions and nominate General Grant to march on to a great victory and a glorioua future. The same organ has since nnblnehingly denounoed this same General as nothing better than a drunken idiot, a butcher, and an impostor. But the eleotions of 18G7 changed the pro gramme on both sides. The swamping of Chase and Old Ben Wade in Ohio, and of the Fenton-Greeley radloal managers in NewYork, and their Chase programme, was speedily fol lowed by popular gatherings of the rank and file of the Grant Republicans, and the radio al managers began at onoe to lose ground from he pressure of these spontaneous popular uprisings. These movements soon, indeed, made such headway against the denunciations of Wendell Phillips levelled at Grant as a drunkard, an ignoramus, a bad bargain, a man of Democratio proclivities, with a weak ness for Johnson; against the remonstrances of Greeley in behalf of the principles and dig nity of the Republican party; against the opinions of Old Ben Wade that General Grant would only talk horse, and oould talk nothing but horse; against the complaint of Sumner that Grant was a whitewasher of th traitor Johnson such headway against all this that a special radical organ was set up in Philadel phia to pooh-pooh Grant and glorify Chase But the quarrel and the famous correspon dence between Grant and Johnson of Feb ruary, 18G8, on the Stanton imbroglio, brought General Grant out into suoh bold re lief on the reconstruction measures of Con gress that, with the publication of those let ters, the radicals were vanquished, the Demo cracy were disgusted, tnase was totally eclipsed, and Grant became the Republican candidate aa by general consent and by aooia xnation. Then another wonder came to light. Here was Grant, who had been the hope of the con servatives. chanced into the Idol of the radl cals; and next we had Chase, the fallen idol of the radioals, changed into the hope of the conservatives. From hia admirable course on the imneachment trial the Chief Justice be came an imp of darkness to the radioals and an angel of light to the Democraoy. l nen it began to be seen that Chase, as the fearless defender of the Constitution, waa the candi date upon whom all the conservative elements Of the oountry, with the Democraoy in the van. could achieve a solid and lasting triumph over the radicals, even under the banner of urant. The Herald presented this we a iu every shape and form in a series of articles from day to dav. down to the Tammanv Con vention, in behalf of Chase as the sure and oniy salvation of the Demooraoy. We thought, too, down to th iVi.- nf 8vmonr'a nomina tion and acoeptamie. that Chase would be the man; for were w n0t assured that Seymour had it all fixed, with the nomination out and dried, and a giorious speech fsr Chasm, nicely written out, nicely folded up, in his pooket and ready for delivery ? We know what wa donn, and w hav had an inkling of the consequences. The Demo cratic politicians and JuggL-rs, inoluding Sey monr, Booming, in their silly self-conoeiia, our BdvicA and nilr UTArnliKvl Itaffa nAnia in trrlut They begin to understand that a calm looker-on I ofsomeexperienoeata battle,frooaa pointabove and beyond the smoke and confusion of the field, can tell better the shaping and weak points of the fight on both sides than any of those aotively engaged. Now, after their late reverses under Seymour, some of these Demo cratio politicians, with their party newspaper Bohemians, gypsies, and oatnp followers, pro pose to adopt our counsels of last June and July. We have also some of the Tammany clique, who are more interested in Hoffman than Seymour. Hoffman himself would, no doubt, be glad to be relieved of Seymour. We suspeot that Seymour stood in his way in the Tammany Convention; for Hoffman had aspired to be something better than Governor, and better than a tail to the kite of Seymour. But the tables are turned, and Seymour aa a can didate now appeara aa a tail to the kite of Hoffman. The Bohemiana of the Manhattan ring have reduced Seymour to thia position, and Hoffman says nothing. Disgusted with all these intrlguea and jugglings aud paltry tricks and double dealings of the managing politicians, cliques and rings, and hungry Bohemians of the New York Democracy, we may look for a crushing verdict agaln3t them from the people of this Commonwealth iu November.
