From the N. Y. JVaiion.
rennsjlvauia, Oliio, ami In liana liava
united tuelr voices wild tbnae of Verwout aai
Maine, in pronounning tlin condemn iiUon of
the Democratic party. Tim struggle was
more eveiiljr niatcuurl lLau iu tli lar North
ern BtMfs, and thu majorities an not so over
Whelming. Bat they are larg enough. The
make the general result iu November abso
lute certaiu. Mot only o, but thysHcnre
to the Republican candidates a clear majority
of all the electoral votes, without counting the
vote of a reconstructed State In their favor. The
whole number of electoral votes, If all the
State? were restored, would be 'Ml. Only 'Z'Ji
Will, however, be cast. Oeueral Grant is secure
Cf 152 votes if om the States which were never
claimed for the Southern Confederacy, with
out couniirjg New York in his favor, lie is
also morally certain to carry Missouri and
West Virginia which will give hiin I US votes
of Indisputable validity. Io addition to thtse
be will receive the votes ot peveral recjn
Btruuted States, and is quite as likely as any
body elee to carry New York and California,
In which case Mr. Sej mour will receive leas
than fifty electoral votes. In any event, he
Cannot possibly get more than ninety.
Although this result has been long foreseen
ty those who have studied the Fubjeot with
impartiality, and the figures are exactly the
panie as those which we gave last June, yet
the facts are so remarkable as to exuite some
Wonder in inindi which have from the first
anticipated thein. The Republican party will,
next November, have carried tbree Buooesslve
Tresidential elections by steadily increasing
popular majorities. It will have carried a
majority of the Northern States for its Presi
dential candidates four times in succession.
It will have had a popular majority in the
Morth at every annual election for eleven
fears, with only one exception.
Such a continuous series of viotories is a
marvellous tbiDg. Publio opinion undergoes
even more rapid changes now than in former
days. Indeed, the doctrines of the Republican
party have changed greatly in some respeots.
iet, amid all tliese chauges, and with the
beavy disadvantage of an enormous foreign
Immigration constantly making votes against
i and this is a faot not sulllcientlv considered
the party has maintained a hold upon the
confidence of the people which is without any
parallel in the last forty years.
. The principal cause ot this popular stead
fastness may be found in the extraordinary
cbtuseness and wickedness of the Democratic
party qualities of which it has made even
jnore than its usual display this year. Its
Cbtuseness was illustrated by the nomination
of Seymour its wickedness and obtuseness
1)0 th by that of Blair: the former proving that
It could not get out of its old rut, even to save
Its life; and the latter showing that the only
Sew allies that were welcome to its camp
Were those who came with more ferocity
of spirit than was possessed even by the
Old line soldiers. Having thus opened the
campaign by throwing away all chance
of success in a fair fight, the party
managers undertook to maintain their
leputation for wL-kedness, as well as to re
cover their lost ground, by an organized and
Widespread ByBtein of fraud. In Pennsylvania
they manufactured citizens by the thousand,
Under pretended forms of law, but really in
pen disregard of the law; and fearing lest
these should not suffice, they forged unknown
Slumbers of naturalization certificates. In
Indiana, where the law affords most unwise
Jaoilitlea for tnnh operations, tliey colonized
voters from Kentucky in numbers which
Sufficed to carry two Congressional districts,
and very nearly carried the State.
No one seems able to devise the means of
punishing or fully preventing these monstrous
frauds. The publio conscience is not awake
to their true oharaoter, and respectable
men do not treat a political forger as they do
the forger cf a note. Unfortunately, all par
ties are more or less guilty in this re3peot.
The Republicans chea:ed badly in Indiana in
1864, excusing themselves on the ground that
their opponents were engaged in treasonable
conspiracies. The Democrats, of course, have
an exouse equally satisfactory to themselves.
Hut, beyond all question, they do the moat
cheating, and their preponderance of sin
brings its punishment in the loss of nearly
enough votes among honorable men to make
ap for all that they gain by fraud. Moreover,
men who uniformly cheat their politioal oppo
nents are absolutely sure to cheat among
themselves; and the notoriety of the Demo
oratio party for the fraudulent charaoter of its
internal management has much to do with its
present depressed condition.
How depressed that condition is, we have
all been made aware by the extraordinary
proposition of a change in the candidates of
the party. This suggestion, although not
adopted, has received a degree of attention
that would never have been given to it if the
party had not despaired of success. The Re
publican majority in Pennsylvania is not very
large, while that in Indiana is extremely
small ; yet no sensible Democrat dreams of
overcoming either in November. The De
mocracy has obviously lost all hops of farther
gains; it has exhausted its ntmost strength,
and no longer dreams of victory outside of
New York and New Jersey. Of oourse, no
change can now be made either in the ticket or
the platform. Rhetorically, it is well to praise
'audacity, but when one-third of an army
.Secretly longs for au excuse to desert, a
charge of flag or leader in the face of the
enemy is a fatal experiment. The Demooratio
managers want to keep their party together
for another atrnggle, although in this they
foresee inevitable defeat.
The Republicans lose seven members of
Congress, and these louse), added to those
Whioh are certain to be sustained in November,
particularly in the Southern States, make it
probable that the party will not have quite
two-thirds of the ut House of Representa
tives. While regretting ,u ioa8 0f B0in9
faithful members, we are not lia.tf1,fl,J(i vna
the general result. The majority in Oiurt,a
has been too large for its own good. It ha
bad the power of suspending the rules aud
Shutting oil debate, whenever it was disposed,
and it has exercised this power far too often
for the welfare of th country and of the party.
The majority in the next House, even if it
numbers two-thirds, will be unable to muster
Such a vote without the nuanimous concur
rence of the party; and the moderate members
will thus be able to hold their more incautious
associates in check.
Indeed, the comparative smallness of the
majorities by which the fate of this campaign
ba been decided is not a matter of great
regret. We should have been more sorry
than we can well express it the majorities bad
teen the other way; but we think they are
about as large as a far-seeing friend of Repub
licanism could desire. The result actually
attained will secure all the substantial fruits
Of the most BweepiDg victory, while it will
also, we believe, impress upon the party coun
sels that moderation and patience whioh, far I
more than any temporary majorities, eeoure '
peim&nent and satisfactory triumphs.
o Word Yet Tor Free Speech.
From the If. T. Corning FoiU
There remain only days from no
till election day.
Only nine dys remain in whioh the D.v
niocratio leaders have the opportunity to
Ppeak out in favor of free dicusnion, aud to
coud ion the outrages upon Republicans,
which increase daily iu frequenoy.
Will not the Demooratio leaders say one
word only T Are they really bo lost to their
duty an citizens, so lost to sham, so forgetful
of what is right, and so blind to their ova
interest, as to remain silent wheu tuj whole
country reads daily official accounts of the
murder of Republican Flierill'-t, Judges, aul
other officers for no other reason tuau that
they are Republicans f
The light of au Amerioan to hold whatever
political or religious opinions he thinks proper,
aud to express aud defend them to auy one
who chooses to listen to him, is surely the
one light which he ought to possess in peics
wherever our flag Hies. The exercise of the
right of free discussion is loo important to the
whole people, too nearly connected with the
preservation of our liberties, to be stopped or
interfered with. General Hampton, of South
Cttrolina, the author of the revolutionary
plank in the Seymour and Blair platform, U
an admirer of what he calls the "one-party"
pyt-m, which used to obtain in South Caro
lina; but pretty much everybody else knows
that the strife of parties, the clash of argu
ment, the free discussion beforo the people, of
two or more opposing policies, is the best aud
the necessary political training for the people;
and that a strong opposition in legislative
bodies is the safeguard of liberty.
Yet herein six or seven States, the attempt
is deliberately made to crush out one party.
Its meetings for discussion are broken up; its
speakers, and public officers eleoted by it, are
murdered; in at least one instance, Republi
cans have been shot down, and those who lied
were pursued by bloodhounds, because they
dared to hold a Republicau meeting.
All these outrages on free speech have bean
committed; the hibtjry of tbein is certified by
official reports; aiid yet the Democratic leaders
in the North aud West are silent. They have
not a word of reproach to their Siuthern
allies; not a word of remonstrance, not a word
in favor of free speech.
But this is not all. These Northern Demo
cratic leaders hve been loudly called on by
the preBS and by public opinion to speik out
for free ppech; to condemn the Camilla and
other outrages and murders; to clear their on
skirts of participation in and approval ef these
crimes against lawful liberty. It is known
that the Northern Deraocratio leaders have
only to say a feiV dt;cirive, earnest words, to
put a stop to the violenoe of Southern Demo
crats against Republicans. But they hve
refused to say a word for free speech. The
Democratic committees issue addresses hut
no word in them urges peaceable and orderly
discussion. Mr. Seymour make speeches
but he has no word for free speech. Mr. Blair
is on the stump but is silent on a question
which agitates the whole laui.
What are we to understand? That these
Democratic leaders care nothing for free
fpeech? That they have no inoie regard for
Republican lives Baorlfided in defense of this
right in the South thau they had for those
who fell before the Njw York rioters ?
That seems to be the case. But the Ameri
can people like free ppteoh; they will have it;
they hold, with General Grant, that "such a
degree of peace and tranquillity shall exist in
this country that a man may speak his mind
in any part of our great land, and that with
out molestation or hindrance." The attitude
of the Democratio leaders, their suppression
of free speech in the South, and their refusal
-. .- ujtiirii nji n iu tue JNortli, make it
prudent for all Democrats who love free speech
to support Grant. He is the oandidate of free
speech. He believes in the right of an Ame
rican citizen freely to speak his mind on politi
cal questions; and he has not been afraid to
eay so.
Seymour's Petition.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
Governor Seymour pleads the baby aot. He
begs votes for President on the assumption
that he couldn't do much harm in the White
House if he tried. Congress will be against
bim; so he could not carry out the Blair
Hampton programme if be were to attempt it.
But he oould do harm. We oall Andrew
Johnson to witness. The ungrateful apostate
has done immense harm, with Congress much
more heavily adverse to him than Seymour,
if elected, would find the Forty-second. He
has bad power to retard and embarrass the
progress ot reconstruction. Three States are
t till out of Congress, when all would have been
long since in place but for Johnson's trea
chery. Georgia recently took the back track, aud
ostracised her loyal blaoks under the joint im
pulse of Johnson's delinquency and Seymour's
anticipated patronage of Rebel persecution.
At least two thousaud loyal men lie oold in
death who would not have been murdered if
Andrew Johnson, Horatio Seymour, or some
other one of their sohool had not been Presi
dent of the United States. Seymour's plea is
sophistical. It ignores the most palpable
facts. It shuts its eves to the reoent history
and present condition of (he South- Because
the upruiug of the people has already pre
cluded his doing, if President, all the harm
Le might otherwise have chosen or been
driven on to do, he argues that he oannot do
any. Abundant facts confute him.
Governor Seymour asks why we have not
peaoe and order at the South why recon
struction has not done its perfect work. We
answer, because an ally of the Rebels sits ia
the White House, exhausting ingenuity in
device after device to battle Congress and keep
the South in hot water until it can be recon
structed Rebel fcide up, with the loyal blaoks
trampled in the mire. "That's' what's the
matter," and the whole of it. Had Hannibal
Hamlin been chosen Vice-President in '04, as
he should have-been, the South would long
since have been reconstructed and at peaoe.
John Wilkes Booth is the chief arohlteot of
our existing troubles Audrew Johnsou is bis
first assistant while Horatio Seymour aspires
to le Johnson's successor. But the paople
forbid it. They will have peaoe, not four
Years hence, but forthwith. To this und they
' to-morrow week eleot Grant and
Colfax.
Sejnionr'frt'peeches nud Uianl's Silence.
From the N. Y. TimeM.
The World, liavirjg bulled Governor Sey
mour into blowicg his own trumpet during
the brief remnant of the oanvasa, is enoour aged
to try bullying General Grant into the same
performance. There is no fear of its succeed
ing. A party or a paper deals with an en
tirely diilereut man from Governor Seymour
wheu it attempts to banter or drive Geueral
Grant. Graut is no man of patty, to ba
shaped anew by the fingers of politioal man
agers. The same reasons which imposed a
dignified silence on bim at the outset of the
canvass will cause him to preserve it. The
retioenoe and life-long modesty which have
characterized him would never have been put
abide for the exigencies of party eervloe. He
will not blow bis own trumpat, aul bid for
votes by his voice.
Nor does be need to follow Mr. Seymour's
example. Here is the preoisa point, iude id,
to which we oall attention, rievtnour vra
fairly driven to take thi stump by the piteoui
cries of his friends. Grant rests oondieutly
on the publio appreciation of his oiurs-t,
already made manifest, and needs resort to no
Eewfprofeseions. Seymour is foroed to speak
to convinoe bis own oountryraeu that he and
Blair do not mean war. Grant said, and thu
people believed and have responded, "Lt us
have peaoe." Grant will be L'otei without
lowering his dipnlty, breaking hU self
imposed fcilence, making any display of ex
planations or excuses, or personally puuiu
forth a"y claims as orator, fla tuoier, stitos
man, or general, or auything else. Seymour
will be defeated, after tiaviug been driven ti
the defper&te expbdie-t of electioneering for
himself.
We say "electioneering for himself," b
caune that is precisely what th iVorll siys.
It urged him to speak, simply in order to get
votes, and now that he has spoken, it counts
up, with a well-frigucd enthusiasm of credu
lity, tho results of the speakiu simply in
electioneering figures. The Important practi
cal question is, nays the V rLl, "how m my
Jihw votes will thereby ba brought to the
Democratic side." Not le;;3 than four huuiie l
in Indiana, and four thousaud in Pennsyl
vania." Bah I The lior has already us go. d
as told its party that S.'yinour was a dead
cock in the pit; anl now does it believe he
can win by crowing ? Americana are not siuli
simpletons as the World would imply, or
otherwise they would long ngo have obliged it
by taking its brags of carrying Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indh.ua for prophecies, and its e li
toiials for gospels; nor will they nosv fiul
Seymour's eleventh hour appeals for his elec
tion more inspiring than Grant's attitu la of
perfect confidence. Seymour was driven up
to the rescue of his own pirty; but Grant's
soldiers and friends and countrymen dil for
him all the talking required. Nor were their
words needful; they heed only ha e pointed
to their leader's deeds and "bid them speak
for him."
The World, we repeat, has smoked out Sey
mour. Iu escorting hitn to thj footlights, it
attempts to duanu the criticism whioh his
ominous appearauce (as if to make his last
political will and testament) instantly sug
gests, by viUipeudiug his gre.it rival for not
making the Fame frbow ef himself. ""Grant,"
it eay s, "is as dumb a3 an oyster;" itall'ectsto
deFpiKe "the torpid intellect of tlie e words
man" his "nano, barren intellect." With
the disdaiu of cnuscions superiority it ex
claims, "L'e think 1" To all of whijh, and
Feveral columns more in the same vein, we
eiuiply reply, that kind of ta'k did not carry
tho October election, and it will not carry the
November. The World fays Grant's silence is
"no weapon at, all." It is a better one thau
slander. Grout's is the "expressive silence"
which is supported by historio deeds, more
potent than winged words. The weapon of
detraction is one that kicks its load is not so
destructive as its recoil.
TIic Tarty of Dloodshcil.
From the N. Y. War 1st.
Run over the catalogue of Southern "out
rages," and find one that did not redound to
the benefit of the radical party. Put your
nuger on one mat oua not occur mst iu that
particular place and just at that particular
time wnen and where it was most lor the ad
vantage of that party that it should. Then
apply the rule of the criminal law that the
party benefited by the offence is presumptively
the actual or instigating offender, aud see if
the guilt of all this bloodshed iu the South is
not upon tne radical leaders
'Jake the New Orleans riot of 18GG. It oc
curred in August, ana in uotober, by means
of it, the Congressional elections were trium
phantly carried for the Radicals. It has baen
proved that despatches announcing its immi
nence were wuiuiiy witiiueld from the Jixecu
tive Department until it was twenty-four
hours too late for it to interpose preventive
measures; but it does not need this to fix the
guilt of the blood theu shed upon the radical
leaders. Without this riot they could not
nave obtained tueir objective point, a Con
gressional two-thirds; with it, they did obtain
it. The crime was committed; they benefited
Dy us commission, ana, by every rule of law,
are justly chargeable with its guilt, with
the Mobile riot. Kelley went to that city ou a
mifeion which revealed itself when he cursed
the crowd in the vilest language, and deepened
the instigation by the taunt that he would
curse them because be had not only the 5th
Regiment, but the whole United State3 army
at his back. Blood was shed. He and his
party profited by it. Are they not directly
responsible for that "outrage" before God and
man 1
Come down to a later day. They entered
on the work of reconstruction on the plea that
life and property were not safe in the South,
and it was necessary for them te resort to
extra constitutional measures to make them
so. The President interposed, and they at
once overrode bim. The Supreme Court
began to move, and they clapped a muzzle
upon it. The whole power of this oountry was
absolutely in their hands. They were alto
gether without let or hindrance, and their
schemes failed, utterly, shamefully, disgrace
fully failed. It was seen that this plan of
theirs, which was to give "adequate protection
to life and property" by means of "legal State
Governments, "was in reality but a bringing in
of seven devils worse.to the house they had as
sumed to sweep and garnish. It was evident
that nothing but brute force oould uphold the
unnatural labrio, based as it was for its
oorner-stone on lately emancipated negro
slaves. It was a failure, but the knowledge
of that failure must be cloaked from the
publio eye. How was it done? Obviously by
more "outrages." Word went forth to get
them up. All through July aud August
there came up from the South the most fear
ful assortment of raw-head-and-bloody-bones
tales. The bogus Governors began to bawl
for troops, these very Governors, mind you,
who incarnated the new system which wai
to have been peace. The pretended
Convention of Texas - cooked up a
hideous report of "outrages," draw
ing on their imagination for the warp,
and filling up the woof with the stray orimes
that always happen in border regions; ana
this though General Graut had himself said,
in an official communication of October 13,
1800, as to this very Texas, that "occasional
murdura will plaaa on our frontiers, and
would if our people were all soldiers." In
September came lurther "outrnges" to feed
the41ame. Tennessee had had its Memphis.
It was, therefore, a good place to play the
game. Forthwith the Ku-Klux dauoed its
phantasmagoric pow-wow in the columns of
every radical sheet. Brownlow lent color to
the move by assembling hia trenchermen in
special session. Forrest was beset by hired
spies who doggrd bis steps and perverted his
statements iu "our special correspondence."
Then came Camilla. Congress was to reassem
ble on the 21atof September. On the lmh
piior, a hired assassin marched at the head of
tbree or four hundred armed negroes, infantry
and cavalry, on a little village, resisted the
Sherllf, defied even the reconstructed Gov
ernor' proclamation, and led to blood, so that
Congress might meet with an "outrige" fresh
to its hand. .
Run over this catalogue now. Se If there
Is one of these lainentabbi evlla that has not

Memphis and Neiv Orleaus gave them a two

Radical sm the party of peace I The pvrty
jatlier of bloniUhed, of cold-blooded, cal'Mi
aliur, predetermined mu'der. It was ti htve
leatored peace. Why didn't it do it? Tue
Piesfdtiit, the Supreme Court, the Southern
pop'e, tbo Democratic party, were all power
hsi before it. It said to ibis man go, and he
weut; to this man come, and he c tine. The
whole power of leixlelation in this country, a
power unexampled iu manitule, slaoeit co n-
piistd all lusiiie and all outside of the Consti
tution, was at its disposal, anl, lucking up
this power, the svordandthe purse, the na
tional treasury and the national tfO)pj.
vv nere is tue peace we were to have ? Where
the fruits of these two years of absolute
radical supremacy f Where the "ad-quate
protection for life and property" in the South
that was promised? The Rebels have pre
vented it I But ymt were to do it in Rpite
of the Rebels. Y'ou knew when you took hold
of this matter that the Rebels were a part of
the problem. Why, if yon are statesmen, did
you not allow for that iu your calculations ?
And how dare yon, as the recipients anl
wklder3 of the entire power of this great
country, rise up aud say that you haven't
given us peace because the Rebels wouldn't
let you ? If so, they have outgeneralled you;
they, a poor, beaten, desclate, helpless people,
have beaten you with your own weapons aul
at your own game. But you know, ye cowardly
blunderers, that fthe truth is far otherwise;
that the country is really iu its present condi

ciency. Y'ou haven't solved the problem be
causeon can't solve it. You have no policy
but hate, and no statecraft that reaches beyond
bloodshed. Stand aside with your bayonets,
and let the principles whioh ruled this oountry
for a Lalf century iu glory now restore it to
peace.
