It Is vain, it would be unonudld iu journalist,
who have the confidence of any twmldsrabla
porticn of the Douiooratlo and Couaervatlve
party of the country, to attorn pt to con
ceal the fact that they have; antt'un'd a disas
trous defeat in the three (treat Hiatfa which
held their elections on the l'Aih, whioh will, in
all probability, result in their final defeat in
November, unless there shall be a complete
change of the programme presented to the
jnasEes of the people.
In the great struggle in whlh we are en
gaged the very life ot the nation Is at stake,
the long-cherished liberties of the people are
imperilled, the existence of republtoau insti
tutions and a constitutional Government is
endangered. The leaders of the radical faction
are openly arrayed against these safeguards of
popular freedom. They are in revolution
against them. It ia the duty of the conser
vative masses a duty owing to themselves,
their loved ones, their posterity, and
their oountry to leave no expedient un
tried that will arrest the progress of those
who have surreptitiously seized upon tha
reina of power, and appropriated to them
selves all the details of Government. To do
this is the sole purpose of honest, patriotio,
well-meaning conservatives. To them, in this
emergency, men Individuals are as nothing;
success is everything. If the leaders hitherto
relied upon have proved inefficient, if it has
been made apparent that under their leader
ship success is even doubtful, and that with
others there is a more hopeful prospect of suc
cess, it is the duty of the true friends of the
Constitution and the Union and civil liberty
to demand that a change shall be made.
Under existing circumstances it would be
nnwise, nnoandid, and unjust to attempt to
cheat and deceive the conservative masses of
the people of this country with delusive sug
gestions, promises, or assertions that th9 Re
publican candidate will be defeated by the
present leaders of the Democratic party. The
result in the October elections only confirms
the apprehensions freely aud generally ex
pressed in July. With all the splendid and
unstained reputation of Mr. Seymour as a
patriot and a statesman, with all his record of
nobleness and excellence in publio and pri
vate life, and with all the chivalrio and self
Baorifioing devotion of General Blair to the
cause of the Constitution and the Union, it is
already evident that they are not the chosen
leaders of the great conservative masses of the
people, who are anxious to set aside the
ruinous and outrageous usurpations of the
Jaoobins in Congress.
ThU fact, so patently demonstrated in the
Ootober eleotions, cannot be ignored. Truth,
and fairness, and honest dealing demand that
stubborn facts should be fraukly admitted.
The conductors of a journal that has been
trusted and relied upon for truthfulness and
genuine patriotism would be recreant to their
trust it they should attempt to praotise de
ception upon their readers aud patrons, and to
mislead them as to the true position of affairs
in which they are so deeply interested as in
the result of the Presidential eleotion. It
would be suicidal for an editor to risk his
charaoter for veraoity and foresight by
making predictions and exoiting expecta
tions only to be confounded and dis
appointed by the aotnal results within a few
days. We have hitherto in every instance
endeavored to keep our readers promptly and
aoourately informed. We have nothing ex
tenuated nor aught Bet down in malice in
speaking of our opponents. We have spoken,
and we intend to speak unhesitatingly,
"without fear, favor, or affection," of all the
heinous outrages and usurpations of radical
ism, and to denounce them as they deserve to
be denounced; but we should be unfaithful, as
trusted sentinels upon the watch-tower, if we
should fail also to call the attention of the
conservative men of the nation to the faults
and follies of their own leaders, which threaten
to involve them in disastrous defeat.
Distasteful as may be this task, we dare not
avoid the duty to say to our friends that it is
now apparent that serious mistakes have been
made. Late as it may be, even as it were upon
the very eve of the election, it is not too late
to apply the remedy. The vlotory may yet
be won; a triumph may still be achieved; but
to effeot this, all the events of the past week,
all the expressions of the real and unselfish
advocates of party suooess, all the experiences
of the wisest and best amoDg the Demooratio
and conservative host, earnestly and emphati
cally demand an immediate change of candi
dates; not of one, but of both; not a3 a con
cession to the rapacity of raiioaliam, but iu
conciliation to the vast army of conserva
tives who oppose equally with ourselves the
excesses of radicalism, and are willing to join
hands with us and assure us a splendid
triumph in November over the serried phalanx
of military despots and Congressional
usurpers.
The National Executive Committee, ap
pointed by the Convention which met in New
York in July, is authorized to make this sug
gestion to tbt-ir constituents. Coming from
them, the whole party will promptly fall into
line, and even within the fe dys to elapse
before the election the number of conserva
tive recruits will Le snffljient not only to com
pensate for the desertion of recreants,
but to insure victory. The people do
not want Demooratio candidates; they
want to defeat radicalism. They are
anxious to defeat the radical party. They
desire to hurl from power those who have
abused it, and heaped upou them intolerable
burdens. Give to them what they want what
they bo earnestly demand and all will yet ba
well. Our candidates, Belaotwd under peculiar
oiroumstanoes at New York, have been tried.
Let the Committee now ouj together at onae,
and plaoe before the people the man who were
really the choice of that Convention either
Chase, Hancock, Johnson, or lleudrbks an
the aotion will at once be recognized as one of
patriotio endeavor, and will ba respondod to
from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, and
from theAtlantio to the Pacific, with one uni
versal shout of joy aud triumph that shall
drown forever the voice of radicalism.
Hcymour Speaking Against His Onu Elec
tion. From tto N. T. Heraia.
There was a Democratic demonstration at
BuffaloThurBdavnicht.andthe Demooratio can
didate argued the situation much as he did the
niebt before at Rochester. Governor Seymour
in his speech at Rochester made the strongest
argument againBt his own eleotion to the Pre
sidency, lie said he would be powerless if
elected, ior --muse aiaiuie laws wuiou to-uay
shackle and hinder the action of Andrew
Johnson would equally shaokle a Demooratio
Kxeoutive. Our Republican friends will ojn
troj, the Senate; they will control the House
of Representatives; thsy will oontrol the army, I
for their candidate is the General who oouv I
mends that army." He argued, then, that
"there can le no danger uom an mmimive
thua shackled and powerleis." And Mr.
Seymour might have added there could
be" no good or usefulness from a Presi
dent thus situated. Rut would there not
be danger or prolonged trouble to the oonntry
in having an Kxeoutive in antagonism to the
other departments of the Government f It
may be useful sometimes to have the po ver of
politioal parties distributed in the Government
o as to keep each other in ohenk, but when
the legislature is overwhelmingly powerful,
and can override a hostile Kxeoutive an ha
been the case with Mr. Johnson, a deadlock is
created, the Government is paralyzed, and
trouble follows. We have only to look back
at tleiunhappy results of the conflict between
Mr. Johnson and Congre83 during the ls-t three
years to form an idea of what might oocnr if
Mr. Seymour were to be eleoted. Should we
not have the strife continued f Should we not
be further from peace than ever T Au over
whelming opposition Congress has not only
made the Executive atcomparatlve nonentity,
but has invaded his)co'nstituUonal prerogatives
and endangered the iustltatious of the coun
try. Would this all powerful party iu Con
gress take the back track if a Demooratio Pre
sident were elected f No, it would Bhaakle
him still more, and virtually take all power
away from him. The oountry would be kept
in a state of agitation and disorganization..
Mr. Seymour's argument that he would be
utterly powerless it eleoted is the strongest
that could be made against his eleotion. What
the country really wants is a change iu Con
gressa reduction of the Raiioal representa
tives, and a largely inoreaBed number of De
mocratic members. This would give a healthy
check to party exoess and a proper balance of
power.
Seymour's speeoh Thursday night repeated
the above argument as applied to Blair. The
Governor stated the notion that he would be
pushed aside if eleoted and Blair put in his
place, and then made it clear to his audience
that with all power praotically in the hands of
the Republicans Blair must be a very great
man if he could do any harm, or the Republi
cans very great fools. This is tke argument
of a ticket thatstan Is bbfore the people on its
defence, not that of one commending its ad
vantages to the nation. Mr. Seymour was
happier in his arguments against the taxation
of the Republican party, and happier still in
his onslaught on reconstruction. But ora
torical happiness will not save the case. The
Democrats should give up the Presidential
contest as hopeless and exert themselves to
eleot members to the next Congress. It is
their only chance of acquiring any power in
the Government. If they do this they may
lay the foundation for success and a long
lease of power in the future.
Fraud Upou tho Ueacli.
From the If. T. Tribune.
George G. Barnard is a Judge of the Su
preme Court. He id a young man of more
than average ability, aud has held high
dignities. Some of his aota have commended
him to the confidence of good men; and
there was a time when we hoped he might
have earned a precious fame by leading the
war upon corruption and municipal crime.
He has certainly tecovered from thse ten
dencies, and is now one of the most willing
and reckless tools of Peter H Sweeney and
the Tammany riDg. We are perfectly'aware
that he has been working for a renomination.
and that the men who hold the power of
Tammany are hard and grasping, and oapable
of puttirg a cruel stress upon any expeotant
candidate.
Judge Barnird, we have said, is a young
man. lie nas irienas ana others dear to him.
He has never impressed us as a mau of sensi
bility. Alen of sensibility are never the dar
lings of Tammany Hall, but no man can be
dead to the opinion of the world in which he
lives, nor deliberately seek to leave a name
that will cause every one that bears it to
blush. The most infamous characters iu his
tory have worn the ermine. Their evil deeds
were, perhaps, not greater than those of men
in other professions, but the universal Judg
ment of mankind condemns an nn?ust judge
to the lowest depths of infamy. The Bench ia
freedom's last asylum. Publio order, de
cency, personal rights, property, sooietv. life
itself, depend upon the just administration of
the law. Its ministers have a vast, arbitrary.
sacred power, and their responsibility is pro
portionate. An unjust judge is not merely a
citizen breaking the law or an offioer vio
lating publio trusts. The ordinary orimes of
men in office only affeot a small olass. But
an unjust judge U the oommoa enemy of
man&ino. ne strikes at the very foundations
of society, and makes the law a tyranny and
a shame.
Judge Barnard is on the high road to defeat
at the polls or impeaohinont before the Legis
lature. We can stand a good deal from New
Yoik Judges, but we do not choose to submit
to the stupendous frauds upon the franchise
which aie taking plaoe daily in the Supreme
Court. Read the shameful narrative which
we printtd en Thursday, aud which is only a
rominuauon 01 narratives heretofore printed.
Can any man fee what In doing In the Supreme
Court and feel that Jndjre Barnard is a lust
Judge ? It is impossible for him to give any
exouee, or to make believe that he is ignorant
of the mnltiUide of crimes daily committed in
his presence. No mau knows better the
infamy of this proceeding. No man knows
more thoroughly the nature, the extent, the
motive of these frauds, the exact means of
carrying thetc out, the men who are engage 1
in the business, t ie results to be gained, the
perjuiies and forgeries and bribing constantly
.......il 1 I'U.. ...... . , il'
yiaui.iiniA. aj.it ui'luuii'u venujuuut Ot me
people is that for every one of these crimes
uige Biruar.l is r sponsible.
Well, Tammany Hall has paid him his
price, and hu is again its candidate, is there
not t-nongh of publio honor left in New York
to Becure his defeat ? Surely if there was ever
a time when men of ft 1 parties should unite iu
an earnest effort to save the Bench from the
infamy that surrounds it, it is now. Judge
Barnard must, reform these practices, or con
tent hinifelf with infamous notoriety. Our
duty is plain. We must beat him before the
people. Vailing there, he must be impeached
before the Legislature.
Urant anil Southern Quiet.
en the N. T. Timn.
riotiiiun Ehort of the triumphant election of
ueueim ur&nt will restore good order to the
Southern people. By triumphant we mean
that the popular decision in his favor on the
iJd of November should be so overwhelming
as to silenoe all serious opposition to his ad
ministration; all hope of future Demooratio
interference with the Rebel element iu the late
Confederate States and in the State of Ken
tucky. The present oondition of things in
that quarter is most deplorable. It has been
growing from bad to worse ever sinoe the
Fourth of July Convention, and wo aid be
come intolerable to every Union white mau
aud destructive to the oivil rights of the whole
negro population iu the contingeuoy of
Seymour's eleotion. These are truths, on,
information which no one dare question, that
lose none of their grave importance be
cause the chanoes of suoh a contingeuoy have
bwn greatly lessened, by tke Ootober elections.'
They are truths which should ininirit every I
friend of Grant and peaoe to redoubled effjrU
through the next ten days to reader the result
of the contest, if possible, thoroughly and
literally unanimous in all the States of tht
North, it may be too tnuou to bops that the
Border States of Delaware and Maryland will
vote for Grant, but, with these exceptions, no
eleotoral vote north or west of the O ata river
should be cast for Seymour and a seoond re
bellion. Oar present conviction is that no
puch vote will be cal, but to make this sure,
the Republicans of JNew York, iNew .lorsey,
and Connecticut must strive to emulate eauli
other to make their decision as einphatio as
the verdict rendered by Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Indiana.
A fib-nd who listened a few Dlght.s sinoe to
appeeoh from Colonel Brotvn, of Kentuoky,
on btaten Island, tells us that he was never
eo deeply impressed with the gravity of the
consequences to the Southern people, loyal as
well as disaffected, dependent upou this eleo
ticn, as by the plain, straightforward, aui
really alarming narrative of this gentleman
en authority of practical experience, unques
tioned veracity, and of brave and outspoken
candor of the condition of society, social as
well as political, in his own and other South
ern States, through many of which he has
recently travelled. Colonel Brown expresses
liis honest conviotiou that if Grant should
fail to be made President, aul Seymour plaoad
in the Pretddeuoy, as the nomine and crea
tine of the Rebel element, the intestine con
flict, not between races alone but bcttweeu
the whole loyal people, including the enfran
chised freedmen and the unreconstructed
Rebels, will at once beome bloody and terri
ble, and must result iu the extermination of
one or the other party; for the loyalists
of both colors have made up their purpose to
protect and defend themselves to the death, if
all hope is loat to them of Government pro
tection. The Democracy nml Their November
Allies.
From the N. T. World.
It is not a thing to be surprised at that the
Democraoy should find it difficult to adjust
themselves to the new state of facts disclosed
to them by the Ootober elections, and by our
bare failure to grasp the success for which all
patriotio hearts in our ranks had yearned. It
is at all times difficult for men to comprehend
the whole bearing and dual issue of a new and
surprising state of facts, aud to adjust them
selves to those facts and their consequences
promptly. Yet in great things and iu small
things this prompt adjustment la the law of
health and life.
To the Democracy it is particularly difficult,
because the very qualities which extort the
admiration of their friends and foes alike are
the very oues which hinder a prompt adjust
ment. The'r vigorous spirit, their indomita
ble pluck, their steadfast aud unfaltering
courage, ail iuppire them, on the morrow of a
defeat, to cle up the ranks, form solid
columns, and rush agi'.in with undiminished
ardor to the field. This very pluck and
courage it is which hinders some cf our friends
from teeing the fact, and adjusting themselves
to the fact, exposed nakedly by the Ootober
elections, that fifty to a buudred thousand
conservative Republicans in Pennsylvania, and
as many more in Ohio and Indiana, really be
lieved that Governor H.ymotir's administra
tion would be retroactive and revolutionary in
the South. At least that number of men
really believed, absurd as it must seem to
every Northern Democrat, that the govern
ments set up at the South, unconstitutional as
they clearly are, revolutionary as they have
been by Thuddenn Steven3 avowed to be, and
void as they must be deemed, since the Supreme
bench, filled with Republican judges, is known
to have pronounced them suoh two hundred
thousand donaervatlve men, not open Demo
crats, we pay, have been shown by the Ootobsr
elections to be laboring under the delusion
that Governor Seymour's administration
would by violence overthrow those bastard
governments begotten of violence; the delu
sion that the bullet and the bayonet would be
called into requisition to break down what the
bayonet bnut up.
It seems incredible to our friends, now in
the heat of a momentous contest, and con
scious that all their purposes are as patriotio
as the purposes or the radicals are revolu
tionary, determined as they are that all t'ae
remedies they propose shall be as peaoeful as
the wrongs they combat have been vloleat.
that anybody should credit the monstrous
perversions based upon General Blair's
Brodhead letter, and upon garblsd versions
of the speeches of Southern leaders. But the
October elections disclosed to the eyes of all
discerning politicians the astounding faot that
nearly a quarter of million of voters in three
great States, who ought to be with ua, were
given over to believe a lie.
The World means to throttle this monstrous
lie. Let it but be expelled from the imagina
tions of all men, and the triumph of the De
mooraoy in November is sure. But for this
lie the Republican party this very hour would
be stone dead. For that party cannot survive
one defeat It could not have survived a de
feat in two out of the three States which voted
in October.
That this lie might be throttled we called
with such earnestness upon Governor Sey
mour to quit the retirement which custom
rather than sound reason has prescribed to
Presidential candidates, and besought him to
tpeak that authentio word which to-day goes
forth to the country, and to assume that pro
minence in the canvass which he has now
assumed, and which belongs to him both as
our standard-bearer aud as the only offioer
upon our ticket who if elected would have
one word to tay, ono thing to do, which by
any possibility could de eriniue the issues of
peace or btrife. For General Blair as Vioe
Prefaidtnt, if elected, would have less power
to determine those issues than a fractious
sberilt in the middle of Mississippi might.
On a ship under full sail, iu a dark night,
a Lingle lightning Hah may reveal to the
watchful look-out . ai the mast-head some
peiilous reef which the pilot must avoid if all
their precious freight is not to be wrecked.
The October election disclosed with one illu
minating stroko our single peril. With
prompt and decisive alacrity our captain him
self has seized the helm.
Governor Seymour's brief npeeoh at Roches
ter, which we published iu full ou Thurs
day, and his ampler ppeeuh at Buffalo,
will command the attention of the whole
country. To the candid in lament of the well-
meaning men in Pennsylvania, ludiana, aud
Ohio, who have been deluded by the false
hoods of our foes to dread the fictitious horrors
conjured up in a possible future, and to avert
their gaze from the real horrors (due to our
present rulers) which have been and now are,
we especially commtnd Governor Seymour's
speeches. Let them read his plain and manly
words, let them give heed to his patriotio
warning, and then make haste to repair the
wrong they have done in giving to the authors
of our calamities, by miscast votes in the Oj-
tober eleotions, one hour's hope of another
tour years' lease of power.
' - ratifying: Asuaiuatlon.
Never did a political organization exhibit
such evidences of sheer madness and despera
tion as are now ui&Dlfuated by the Demooratio
party. The nnprinoipled revolutionary spirits
who oontrol it have been bent upou obtaining
control of the Government at all hazards.
v nen Vermont aud Maine pronounced agaiust
them, and foreshadowed the nation's verdlot,
they conceived a stupendous prortmm of
fraud and cbioauery wiih the deliberate, pur
pose of cheating the' people out of their viotory
at the polls. Ohio and ludiana were overrun
with Kentucky repeaters. Pennsvlvaula was
likewise colonized, aud PhilvhdphU was
floodtd with tens of thousands of bogus natu
ralizations. Now that thia monstrous scheme of iniquity
has ignouiiniotisly failed, the Osrnooraoy are
more maddened and desperate than ever, as
they cast wildly about them for some m aas to
avert their coming doom. Wulle one faction
calls for the ret retnent of their standard
bearers as a mode of achieving suooess, an
other has resorted to threats to intimidate
the people from voting as their sense of right
may dictate. If you dare to eleot General
Grant President we will make way with him.
Suoh is their inenaoe. ' lie will never leave
the Presidential mansion alive," O-neral Blair
asserts. 'If," declares the New York Democrat,
"he does not receive a majority of three hun
dred and f seventeen votes of the Electoral
College (including those of Virglula, Missis
sippi, and Texas), he dies before hi.s term of
office fcball one-ioutth expire, and the party
that would unjustly elevate him to power elull
be strangled In the blood it cries for." A
writer in the Staten Islaul Leader gives vent
to these alarming sentiments:
"Now tlint Grant, tho oold-UIoodeJ, fishy,

Mark, these are not the menaoes of irre
sponsible unrecognized mouthpieces of the
Democratlo party. General Blair is its candi
date for Vice-President. The Democrat olaims
for its weekly and daily issues a circulation of
nearly 350,000. The Btaten Island Leader is
the recogn'zed organ of Krastus Brooks' fol
lowers in Richmond county. It is mainly
owned and its columns are controlled by the
man whom these same Democrats have nomi
nated to represent them in the State Assembly,
the man who stands at the head of their
county ticket. Furthermore, they have nomi
nated for Congress an individual who for his
dis'oyalty was confined in Fort Lafayette
during the war, who rejoiced over Union de
feats, and clapped his hands in glee whenever
the etara and stripes went down in humiliation
and disaster.
Eleot Grant yonr President, and you shall
have another Booth, a seoond hero, who with
the cry of uSic temper tyrann!s " shall again
overshadow your land with mourning aud
grief. And. it is by such threats as these that
Democracy thinks to overawe and intimidate
the loyal voters of the land I
