General Uliilr In evf York The Luke
warm and the Jtcd Hot Democracy.
From ih N. T. Herald.
General Frank r. Blair, Demooratlo eandl
date for tbe Vice-Presidency, had a noisy and
demonstrative welcome at the great meeting
In Tammany Hall. He made a Fpeech of nearly
an hoar's length, defending himself trom the
charge of being a revolutiouiBt, casting back
that charge upon his political enemies of the
Republican part, declaring emphatically
that General Grant bad a policy one that
would prove fatal to the Constitution and the
country a policy like to that of Cromwell and
Ionia Napoleon.
General Blair's appearance in New York at
this crisis, while beymour, the head of the
ticket, is "swinging around the circle" In the
West, is a remarkable event, as his speech in
the Tammany wigwam Tuesday night was a re
xnaikable fpeech. In the Copperhead organ,
which assumes all the airs of the dandy and
chief 'medicine man" of the Demooratio
party, not even a passing allusion was made
yesterday morning to the coming of General
IJlair. The Seymour and Hoffman faotion here,
par excellence, did not, in fact, send for Gene
ral Blair, and did not want him. Their game
in the Tammany Convention, whatever it may
have been in the beginning, was, in the final
atruggle, reduced to the simple purpose of
saving New York and of getting a Governor
and Legislature subordinate to our corpora
tion rings. The October elections, from Penn
sylvania to Nebraska, brought the conviction
home to these spoilsmen that Seymour and
Blair were in a bad way; that New York
would probably be lost; and that the ca3e was
so desperate that nothing bat the desperate
remedy of a change of front and a change of
the Presidential ticket would save the party
even in New York.
This remedy was boldly proposed, anl the
dead weight of General Blair was urged from
day to day for a wetk or more through the
Copperhead organ aforesaid, as involving an
imperative necessity to change the ticket.
But Mr. Belmont, the head of the National
Demooratlo Kxeoutlve Committee, promptly
responded that this thing on the verge of the
great battle "would be equivalent to disband
ing our forces." The conspirators against
General Blair then demanded at least his re
moval; but failing also in this experiment,
their Copperhead organ proclaimed that hence
forth Seymour was the candidate of the Demo
cratic party and the authorized representative
of its principles; that Blair was a cipher, a
mere nobody on the ticket; and that his let
ters and speeches had furnished capital enough
to the radicals, but that henoeforward they
would have to fight Seymour. Accordingly,
it had been arranged that he should make a
tour to the West, and in a series of stirring
speeches, from point to point, against the
abuses and usurpations of the radicals, com
pel them to drop Blair and defend themselves
against Seymour.
The plan was put into operation; bat the
managers had been counting without their
host. General Blair would not hide his light
under a bushel at their bidding, but main
tained the field, bravely defending his Brod
head letter as the main plank in the Demo
crats platform. To make the matter worse,
not having the fear of the lukewarm Manhat
tan and Tammany Hoffman clique before his
eyes, the Brick Pomeroy, Jack Rogers red hot
Demooracy doubtless contrived this visit of
General Blair to New York as the unflinching
champion of their rights and the Tammany
declaration that all the reconstruction aots
of. Congress are "unconstitutional, revolu
tionary, null, and void," aud of that
other declaration, that the bondholders must
be paid off, like the rest of us, in greenbacks.
Thus we have developed" here in New York
city among the confused Demooracy a Sey
mour faction of the lukewarm Demooracy de
termined to keep Blair in the background, and
a Blair faotion of the red-hot Democracy who
are quite as firmly resolved to keep him in the
foreground a faction contending that Blair is
a marplot, a heretic, a disturber, an outsider,
and a dead weight upon the party, and a fac
tion glorying in him as the living embodiment
oi the Democratic faith and the Deinooratio
programme.
There is at Washington a guerilla Copper
head organ, supposed to be a sort of tender to
the kitchen cabinet, which, joining in the out
set in the demand for the shelving of Seymour
and Blair, still keeps up the cry. Bat it
seems to have had some inkling of the game
of the Manhattan ring of bondholders and
Bohemians, for it says: "Mr. Balmont, re
covered from the fatigue of his long recreation
at Newport, has suddenly beoome aware that
something must be done to save, not the gene
ral election, but the State of New York, Hoff
man, and the Tammany ring. That little
empire is of more importance to the sachems
of Tammany than nil beside. Governor Sey
mour is at this late hour made a stalking
horse for this purpose alone." And again
this Washington orgau demands the shilvin
of Seymour and Blair. This is Democratlo
harmony "with all the modern improve
ments." We hardly know what to make of
it. We think tbat, take it all together, it
presents a bad prospect, not only for Seymour
and Blair, but for Hoffman, as the party most
directly interested in the New York election.
About the only redeeming featirei of this
Democratic muddle are the mauly courage au 1
honesty of the red hot Demooracy of the
school of General Bla r, and the plunk of Blair
himself in beardiug his accusers in Tammany
Hall. If any of them entertained the com
forting idea that the mission of the General to
this oity would be immortalized by his mag
nanimous withdrawal irom the Deinooratio
ticket, they must try to bear their disappoint
ment. Nominated in the July Convention by
aoclamation as au out-and-out expounder of
the Democratic faith, General Blair no doubt
feels that obedience to the clamors of a little
clique of spoilsmen and Bohemians would be
treachery to the great mass of the Desnooratio
party. The effort made to hide him from the
""W v was a trick of oowardioe to whloh
- th
puirrd to them by tbe Const tntlon of the I
IJ tilted States andamendmenU (hereto, and the I
Constitution and laws;of this State."
The Tennessee Demoorats, or the persons
speaking in their name, have maae meir ao
eoptance of colored saffrago conditional upon
the support of the Demooratlo tioket by
colored voters. In other words, the Demo
cracy of that State agree to abandon the
attempt to disfranchise colored Demoorats; a
paltry and untenable promise, but one that
virtually puts an end to opposition to negro
enfranchisement in Tennessee. For the ques
tion is one of fitness to vote, not of the result
of voting. And if the mere faot of voting the
Democratio ticket is held to constitute a title
to the undisturbed possession of the franohise,
resistance to negro suffrage, per se, bdeomes
impossible.
The step taken in Georgia and South Caro
lina is much more satisfactory. In one oaie it
concedes an intelligible principle, which would
be perfectly just if applied to blaok and white
alike; in the other it surrenders the ground
on which opposition to reconstruction has bsen
con dueled, and in effect asserts the possibility
of harmonizing nnivenal negro suffrage with
order and good government. The motive iu
both instances is apparent. The objeot is to
win over black votes in the oontest now going
on by a concession thought of in the eleventh
hour. But with this, for our present purpose,
we have nothing to do. The essential faot is
that the Demooratlo Committees of Tennessee,
South Carolina, and Georgia at present indorse
nepro suffrage.
What becomes, then, of the Damooratio
platform and the declarations of those who are
conducting the canvass in its behalf in the
North f The party dogma is eternal repug
nance to negro enfranchisement, as at variance
with American institutions. The white man's
government theory has been revived for the
occasion, and Northern Democrats of every
degree are fierce and un ielding in its advocacy.
Their most savage denunciations of recon
struction are predicated upon its extension of
the voting power to the colored people. Take
away this pretext, and Democratio oratory
loses its point and foroe.
The worthlessness of the whole outcry is
proved by the resolution of the Georgia Com
mittee. What Northern Demoorats assail as
atrccious and intolerable, Southern Demo
crats declare their willingness to acoept anl
maintain I
The Speeches of Our Kcxt President
From the 2V. T. Tribune.
It is but a poor compliment to a candidate
for the Presidency of the United States when,
just on the eve of the election, after it has be
come plain that argument has been exhausted
in vain in his favor, his friends parade him
through tbe country like a star aotor, and
make him give exhibitions of elocution on all
the principal stages of the Union. How deftly
he rounds a phrase I How sharply he points
an epigram! With what rotund voice aud care
ful accent he utters the well-conned sentences!
How fine the poise of the body, how graoeful
the sweep of his arm, how gracefully the leg
is thrown forward t Thousands haug enrap
tured on his lips. Ah, if speech-making were
the whole duty of Presidents, what a man
this would be for the Executive chair I But
Americans are a shrewd people. Oratory is
their national vioe yet for all that they will
not vote for eloquence alone; and when the
gift of copious speech is only a screen to cover
unsightly principles, they are quick enough
to find it out. They will suffer an incredible
amount of declamation at a serenade, or a
dinner, or a mass meoling, or iu Congress;
but they value men of brave and honest deeds
above all others, and it will be a happy
relief to them next year to have a chief magis
trate who will write bLoit messages ud do
Li duty.
We printed yesterday a collection of the
"speeches" of General Grant. All that ha
has made in three or four years can be read
in an hour. Their eloquence is in meaning,
not in phrase. They are strong, because they
go straight to the point. They are dear, be
cause they are hoDebt. They will ba remem
bered, beoause a strong, honest, earnest man,
when be speaks of what he understands,
seldom fails to hit unsconoiously upon Uose
terse and happy phrases which pass into
popular proverbs. General Grant's letters,
orders, and speeches are full of such phrases,
each one of which is an effective oration.
In them will be found, too, a distinct sum
mary bsth of his character and his princi
ples. The purity of his patriotism, the
singleness of purpose with whioh he
went into the war and carried it to the close,
his magnanimity to the enemy in the field, his
generosity to them since the peace, the clear
ness of his perceptions, the steadfastness of his
resolutions, his liberal policy or reoonstruotion.
and his emphatio doctrine respecting European
aggreszions on this continent, are better dis
played in tbe few columns we devoted to
his "speeches" than all the conllioting dog
mas of the 1emocratio creed that nave been
elucidated by the thousand and one addresses
of the peripatetic candidates who are now
tiying to persuade the Democratio masses
that they have said one thing but mean an
other, and if elected will do another still.
The Prospect.
From the N. T. World.
It is a fact plain to all men that the aotivity,
buoyancy, aud eneigy of the Democratic
tarty are greater than they would have been
if we had carried the October elections. The
expectation wa, that it the Democratio party
be defeated In all the states mat neia elec
tions in October, it would give up, and the re
sidue of the canvass be nut and spiritless.
Such would have been the cape had it not
been fur the buld tactics thereupon adopted.
The majorities against us in Pennsylvania
ALd Indiana were so insignificant as to show
that the final battle was not lost it we made a
prompt, bold maca-avre for a better position.
But who would step forward aud deolare
this to be necersary 1 Not the official leaders
of the Democratio organization, evidently; they
are merely agents otthe bodies that appointed
them, and could not exceed their powers.
Their responsible position deprived them of
freedom. The greater portion of the Demo
cratio press had quite as little liberty, owing
to the faot that each paper was a local organ
of the party, controlled more or less by the
local organizations. The World, strong in its
--opo!i an position, its independence, and
leiitp, felt equal to the task, and had the
ness to attempt it. It scarcely doubted
H oould be accomplished, if only Gover
beymoar could h brought upon the
np. At any te, the attempt was male,
it success vindicates our course,
u ooiiFequtnoe of what has been done, the
ty is fired with a vehemence such as never
vdtd it before. The October eleotions, for
larvel, have neither impaired its morale nor
opened its energy: it is engaged in a
jhtier struggle to achieve success than if
se elections had gone in our favor. Had
succeeded in them, we should not have had
i inspiring eloquence of Governor Seymour
a new element iu the canvass. If we had
t lost those States, no effective effort would
could have been made to explode, as the
or Id by its own audacious manoeuvre merely
s completely exploded, the calumny that the
mccratlo party intended to disperse the
gro governments by violence and bring on a
w civil war.
Tbe canvass, therefore, Is In a batter state
than it was before the eleoilons took plaoe.
The issnB are more justly oonoeived and more
clearly defined; a more oorreot estimate pre
vails of what Governor Seymour will attempt
after his eleotion, aud of the position and
powers of the Vice-President as au offlosr of
the Government. The ship is lightened of a
vast deal of heavy rubbish whioh made slow
sailing.
The chances of the Demwratlo party for
carrying next Tuesday the States whioh it
barely lost in October are greatly improved
by the new life, which has been infused into
the canvass, and the truer aspect given to the
bsueff. We have recovered the spirit of our
troops, so that there is no danger of desertion.
This is a great poiut after a defeat. Every
citizen who voted the Democratio ticket in the
State elections will vote for Seymour and
Blair. And we shall make gains. It
would be preposterous to suppose that the
correct light iu whioh the contest is plaoei by
Governor Seymour's speeches will not disarm
the prejudices of wavering Republicans. And
how few need to dismiss their prejudioes to
give ns the victory t In Indiana, ouly four or
live hundred; in the great State of Pennsylva
nia, only four or five thousand. Mere relief
from the apprehension of a new civil war will
change more than that number iu both
States.
But this is not all. There are new looal
causes that will operate In our favor. In
Pennsylvania, for example, we gained the city
government of Philadelphia, which, instead
of being a force against us, will be a force
in our favor. The Republics members of
Congress and local candidates, having won
their elections, have no longer the same
motives to spend money and practise frauls.
Moreover, the false confidence with whioh the
Republicans have been puffed up by their
successes in October will cause them to
Blacken their efforts. They have got the
opinion from their newspapers that their suc
cess is assured any way, aud many Republi
cans will not go the polls. Their party organs
would make themselves ridiculous by pro
claiming that . there is any danger, after all
their noisy bragging about a "Democratio
rout." The mere relaxation of effort on the
Repullioan side would be sufficient to give us
the victory, even if we were to make no con
verts in consequence of Governor Seymour's
truer presentation of the issues and the explo
sion of the civil war bugaboo.
In this State the prospect is excellent. The
Democratio party of New York was never so
thoroughly organized, has never felt so great
enthusiasm for is candidates, never been so
full of pluck and determination, never had so
large a proportion of its members aotively at
work, as in this canvass at this moment.
Besides, we have a large maj rity to start
with. Not a man who voted with the Demo
cratio party last year is going to desert it
dot, when Horatio Seymour is its candidate
for the Presidency. State pride aud his great
personal popularity will carry oar majority
very far beyond what it was last year. No
body can point out any cause of loss, unless it
be the result of the October elections; but, in
fact, the party is more hopeful and aotive
than it was three weeks ago, and the only
way in which the October elections could have
operated against us was by depressing confi
dence and relaxing effort. The new features
given to the canvass have completely warded
off that danger, bo once more to the breach,
and this time, Victory 1
