If any person would realize the immense Talae and the euormous force that may be attached to a ballot, let Llm look back at the two last Presidential elections. The value of arete in 18li0 was commensurate with the value of the country. In it resided national freedom and national unity. It had the power of sariDg us from the despotism of the elaveholding oligarchy; of preventing slavery extension; of abolishing slave laws. It meaut the assertion of free speech, free travel, aud a free press. It meaut the downfall of the most gfgantio system of enmity aud wrong that has existed in this century. It meant the expres sion of Americanism, the development aul permanence of the Republic, and the enduring freedom of all its people. Thevalneof a note in 18C4 was commen surate with the value of the American Hag. It had the power of giving victory to our armies, or it had the power of scattering oar armies. It Lad the power of reestablishing the Union, or it had the power of passing our Republic over to anarchy and disunion. It had the power of plunging the country into bankruptcy, deranging industry, aud de stroying the public prosperity, or it had the power of elevating the natioual welfare to a height worthy of our glorious country. liut few of those who voted iu 1SG0 had any idea of the tremendous importance of their ballots, lint few of those who voted in lstj-i had any adequate conception of the immense value of their ballots. Looking back from our present point of view, we can form some esti mate of the significance of a vote in the one case and in the other; but a full realization of it is beyond the power of the human mind. Is the value of a vote any less at this elec tion than on the two previous occasions ? Look at its relation to peace and liberty, to honor and justice t And when our mind has reached the limit where our actual knowledge of as sured effects terminates, let our imagination pass over and range in the region of possible results; and we shall soon realize that a vote may be a thing of incalculable value. Frank Blair and His Platform. From the N. T. Herald. The Republican party organs and stump orators have been heaping a vast amount of unreasoning denunciation upon Frank Blair on account of some pretended rebellious senti ments contained in his famous Brodhead let ter, and one ingenious ally of republicanism In this city goes into an elaborate argument to compare the Missouri soldier with Benedict Arnold, the Pennsylvania insurrectionists, Aaron Burr, Calhoun, Hayue, Lee, and other persons who have figured in revolutionary movements against the United States Govern ment. There is no sort of analogy between the cases cited and the position taken by Blair, nor is there any just ground for the charges made against that gallant leader of the Union armies, lie has never proposed to betray his country as Arnold did, but has risked his life in its defense when other men who might have enacted Arnold's part have kept themselves safely at home. The policy he avows is neither one of insurrection nor of nullification. The Pennsylvania insur rectionists committed individual aots of open treason against the Government. The South Carolina nulliiiers claimed that the States had the right to disregard such of the United State laws as were objectionable to them, and so undertook to nullify the tarms or ifeS and 1832, and to resiat the collection of United States dues. Although Andrew Jackson, with his iron will, declared his determination to uphold the laws, and although the "Force bill," as it was called, ws passed to strengthen his hands, Congress thought it best even in that case to recede from its posi tion on the tarill question, and South Carolina only repealed her ordiuanoa of nullification after the compromise tariff law had been enaoted. But Frank Blair's proposition is altogether a different thing. He declares that if he were elected President of the United State3, holding the power of the Government in his hands, he would protect the people of the re constructed Hates in their right to remodel their State Constitutions if the majority de sired to do 0, and to that end would subject the Reconstruction laws to the test of the Su preme Court of the United States. In other words, he would cease to hold the South under military subjugation, and would afford the people the opportunity to form their own organic law without the coercion or interfer ence of the general Government, putting them npon an exact equality under the Federal Constitution with all the other States of the Union. The attempt to classify this position with the treason of Arnold, the whisky insurrections, nullification or secession, is all balderdash, and makes a muddle of fact and law which shows an entire ignorance of the subject, or a wilful design to pervert Blair's meaning. If the voics of the people should elect him President and give him the popular branch of Congress at his back, it would be au endorsement of the policy be proposes, lie would then be j untitled iu carrying it out. Aud this is in fact the sum and substance of his uiuch-talkxd-of letter. The treason of an individual, nullification by a single State, or the secession of a oombinatiou of States, would be a very different piece of business. In the one case it would be the General Government acting in accordance with the expressed will of a majority of the people; in the other it would be a minority aciing iu rebellion against the general Government. Outside the prejudices and bigotry of party, indeed, we believe that the generous senti ments of the Western soldier will meet uni versal approbation. It is probable that after the election of Grant the Demooratio party will plant itself upon this very platform of the abolishment or repeal of all such parts of the Reconstruction laws as make distinctions against the South, the remodelling of the Southern negro State governments, and the future perfeot equality of all the States in the Union. We should not be surprised to fin I Frank Blair the successful candidate of the Demooratio party on just saoh principles iu 1872, if, indeed, Geueral Grant, bAckdd by the conservative Republicans, does not himvtif adopt them as the policy of his administration, and thus give true peace and stability to the country. Ifudlcal logFi)iUng. From the JT. T. World. Now we see why it was that the Tribune, which usually treats religion as a matter of lighted candles in slashed pumpkins to scare rustios withal on dark nights, was so deeply moved in behalf of "wicked John Allen." It was in the hope that, so soon as wicked John Allen should gild his wickedness with hyp3 orisy, he would naturally drift into political fellowship with the p.rtyof Butler and Sickles and Kilpatrick. For it Is whispered now in 'sporting circles" that the radioal oiiniid.Ue for Governor, Mr. Monitor Griawold, is hard at work entreating the virtuous 15 irgh to en large two particularly ferocious dogs, which, being now iu durance vile, are sorely needed Vy some Water street veteran to falfll a bel- I ligercnt engagement. Dog-flghta at the North, and a promiscuous war of raoes at the South I is not this a pretty dish to set before Gene- J ral Grant f Let us have peace. Erorjlhlng Lovely. rromthtX- T. JYioune. We have never been among those who (fol lowing the lead of the venerable Miller) pro fited to believe in the speedy dawn of the Millennium; but if Mr. "Seymour should spout himself into the Presidency, as according to a number of "Democratic" papers he certainly will, it is pretty evident that the good time which has been so long coming will finally come, to the infinite rapture of mankind. Im mediately after hia inauguration a blissful Season of perfect national happiness will make our millions of inhabitants measure leFsly contented; crops will be doubled; the operations of commerce quadrnpld; Peace will keep waving her golden wings from week's end to week's end; the ship of state will glide over still waters and under cloud less skies; the World newspaper will register at least one hundred and fifty new subscribers, all raving in advance, aud will print six leading articles on its tremendous prosperity; the Ku-Klux Klan will experience religion to a man; the swords and spears, ohanged into ploughc hares and prnning-hooks, will be a marvel of metallurgical trausmogritloaUou; and while Horatio sits smiling'in the White House and Francis stands smiling in .other places, confidence and perfect satisfaction will en ell the Ameiicau heart well nigh to burst ing. A great chorus of happy voioes will hail Mr. Seymour as the Father-in-law of his country, and our esteem for the excellent Blair will rise almost to a blind and tearful veneration. If, iu view of these rosy prospects, we still oppose the election of this beautiful brace of candidates, we wish the community to understand that it is only because we fear that our support might mislead a great many of the gentlemen's friends into voting against them. We shall continue to contend lor Grant and Colfax to the end; and if through some mysterious miracle they t-hould be chosen, maugro the bravery, numbers, chivalry, and desperation of the Seymour forces, we shall endeavor to receive the announcement of their victory with resignation, in spite of the peace, prosperity, felicity, serenity, and universal rapiure which a Democratic defeat will render impossible. We have just finished the perusal of a cata logue of all the ueble alvautages which will follow Mr. Seymour's aocession. We are to have "Seymour and Union;" "Seymour and Security;" "Seymour and Economy," if the World newspaper is to be believed. But we are not to stop with these by any manner of means. Likewise we are to have "Seymour and Equality;" "Seymour and Prosperity;" "Seymour and Concord;" "Seymour and Law;" "Seymour and the Equality of States;" "Seymour and Patriotism;" "Seymour and Harmony;" "Seymour and Honesty;" "Sey mour and Republicanism." All of which for cibly reminds us of the nursery couplet: "Open your mouth nil shut yniir c-yes, And I'll make you Lealluy, uad wealthy, aud wlise." To render the matter still more plain aud positive, this same newspaper gives the name of Grant coupled with all manner of un pleasantness. We have ' Grant and Dis union;" "Grant aud a Battle of Races;" "Grant and War;" "Grant aud Reveuue Thiev ery;" "Grant and Congressional Despotism;" "Grant and Judicial Subservienoy;" "Grant and Perpetual Division;" "Grant aud Section alism;" "Grant and Internecine Violence;" "Grant and Radical Roguery;" "Grant and Despotism;" "Grant and Absolutism." Iu sbert, Urant and everything unpleasant. II it had been our fortune to see these ill omened couplings upon the "Democratic" banners and transparencies, we might have passed the matter over with a patient shrug; but when snch predictions are made by one of the most dignified, veracious, learned, able, sagacious, high-principled, and heavily written newspapers in the country, we are compelled to pause, and to a-k, in faltering tones, what is to be done about it ? Fortunately, the prophet is good enough to point out the means of suacor and of safety. Hear and take courage, trembling reader I Says the Daniel of the "Demooraoy:" Ve cn sucoetd, will succeed, are bound to succeed If we take In the full muisureol the time. Theu let the ltmocrcy advauoe ! Trie order Is nil desperandum. Every man id the front! Victory la more tuan possible, It Is prob able, to beartful effort. Tiie occasion is plied mgu wnu opportunity." Can anything be easier ? Every man mns "advance." At the same moment he mus "rise high." The whole matter can be coor prtssed into a nutshell: "Make an effort 1 This is precisely what was said by surround" ing friends to the man who was trying to lilt himself by the waistband of his pantaloons. He made the effort, bat it was fatal to the pantaloons. Under all the oircumstances, considering how certain is Mr. Seymour's election, how certain General Grant's defeat (unless he oan obtain the requisite number of votes to elect him), we are rather surprised to find this pro phet sticking his bayonet into the backs of his gallant soldiers. "A glorious triumph," he says, "is pontsible, even as things now stand. As things should stand, a glorious triumph is more than probable." AU that is necessary is to "advance" and "rise high" at once, a feat we have never seen performed by the most accomplished athlete of the circus, but which, it it can be dune, must be tremendous in its consequences. "We may even," says Daniel, "carry New Hampshire, if we only 'advance' aud 'rise high' as aforesaid." To do this will require superhuman powers, but is not this an age of miraculous manifesta tions f "If you lide a fairy horse, and wield a fairy sword, and wear fairy armor," sud one knight in the story to another, "what's the use of hitting you ?" We fear that we niukd give up the battle. If "the Demooraoy" would be good enough simply to "advauoV or merely to "rise high," we might have hope; but any one would llee from au antago nist who came to him after this curious and complex fashion. The Hvot of the Canvas. From the Button Fust. We better oomprehend the meaning of a general political canvass when we strike the central idea, or issue, on which it all turns. Tm country is not now engaged iu an idle formality, but in an effort to gather up its bcattered forces, to repair its recent waste, and to shape its coming future; and the ques tion is, whether this is to be done consistently with the genius and spirit of our free republi can system, or after a mixed method in whioh dogma, despotism, aud undefined experiment ing are the component parts. If, as the radi cal platform declares, reconstruction is a com pleted success, then those who stand on that platform are estopped from any further argu ment or declamation on that subject. Gov ernor Seymour in his speeches emphasizes the financial question as the one ou which the canvass really turns; and all men who pro fess to deal with immediate and praotical matters before theories and abstractions, unite in saying he is right. Especially must those who hold that reconstruction, by its comple tion, is put out of the oase, admit the sound ness of his view and hasten to deal with the issue he presents. We oertainly cannot carry on the Givern ment, whether it oontinues republican or is merged into a despotism, without money; and to obtain it the people are to oontinue to be taxed. It is pretty generally agreed that taxation is already as heavy as oau be borne. The resources of the oountry, including its labor, which stamps value upon everything, can endnre but very few additional straws to their present load. Hence the financial ques tion is tbe one that presses the hardest. Rs construction amounts to nothing without the ready means to sustain it; aud all questions Of suffrage, bureaus, and military government must give way before the supreme urgenoy of the money issue. Years ago, Mr. Sumner and his school affected a lofty contempt for these questions of trade and commerce, of finance and the development of the national resources. They professed to believe that the Government was established as a sort of en gine for the prepulsion of their ideas ou re form and progress among the people, aud that the ways and means question was entirely aside from its proper administration. To-day they are confronted with the inquiry Hew are we going to get along ? This reform busi ness has proved immensely expensive. Tuis experiment in progress has drained us of our means. We gladly spent for the Union, and bold the debt iuourred in its behalf to be sacred; but we have since raised and spent nearly as much more, and it has all gone for tLis idle experimenting, which is nbaxit to ter minate, if persisted in, in the complete over turn of our republican system. The real question, therefore, is that of pay ing our way. But it is equally plain that our way must lie parallel with the old constitu tional paths, or our resources are exhauste i already. Revolutionize the Government, aud you throw all the fixed relations of industry and enterprise into chaos. Break up this equal plau which the Fathers wisely established for the Stales, and general confidence is simul taneously overthrown; and the subsequent work of building upon its ruins is very slow and tedious. In short, without a firm and en during financial system, all these theories aud experimentings fall to the ground at ouoe. If the two are thus inextricably joined, it is not hard to tell which is practically underneath, ana wmcn supports the otner. The speeches of Governor Seymour set forth this view of the matter with singular perspi cuity and impressiveness. He teaches what all reflecting men must well know, that, with such heavy taxes, such inordinate expendi ture, such gross extravagance, and sush criminal corruption, no Government can long go od, especially a Government instituted and upheld as ours is; thence this becomes the single issue of the campaign; upon this the radical party is to be tried. It has had su preme control of the finances for the past four years, aud the country has only become more deeply involved. If matters continue thus we shall all go down in a common ruin. If a party is not to be arraigned on its past con duct, but expects the people to let that go aud listen yet again to its fair promises for the future, then politics have become of no prac tical account, and there is no further use in disputing with guilty men for the control of the Government. The rower Behind the Tiironc. From the If. 7. World. Wtndell Phillips is the radical barometer. In his late ppeecb. at Boston he foretells the storm tbat is brewing for Grant, should that person, in event of au election to the Presi dency, refuse to mould his policy with au eye single to the negro. It may strike the u.J- i j;.-o . .Ul. Il. Uia of a. policy with General Grant, but still it is neces sary to use that collocation in order to fore shadow the radical design towards him. Should it be so ordered that the Chief Magis tracy of this country is to be handed over to the head of the army, and that head proceed in his sphere in strict accordance with the de structive programme, well and good. Mr. Phillips and his coadjutors will, in that case, be in harmony with 0 rant and rather extol him, d la Linooln, than otherwise. But once let him evince a tendency to moderation, and it is easy to see in Mr. Phillips' late speech the course that is to be pursued against him. He will be broken down. Suoh popular confi dence in him as may now be felt will be done away with, and in the place thereof the seeds of hate, distrust, and insult sown. If it be thought this is an extreme con tingency, a simple reference to the campaign against Mr. Johnson will sufficiently show the oontrary. When Mr. Johnson stood up alone of the Southern Senators, and refused to withdraw; when, by the exercise of his influ ence, he withheld Tennessee from formal seces sion; when, by such withholding, he held up the hands of those who restrained Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri, no praise was too great for him who alone remained faithful among the faithless. Pulpits rang with his laudation; presses that now never mention him but with sneers exhausted themselves iu his glorification; and, as the highest possible evincement of loyal gratitude, he was put upon the ticket with Mr. Lincoln and elected. Even after the death of that personage, and Mr. Johnson's consequent accession, he was still praised, still lauded, still glorified, stiil believed in. But he contravened radical ideas, and he fell. Tho3e who had been edu cated up to believing him an Aristides were educated up to look on him as worse than Judas. It was even sought to impeach him, and the effort by only a hair's-breuith failed iJutatis mutandis, the tame agencies that broke down Mr. Johnson will, if he mutiny, break down General Grant. Hid drunkenness; his stoppage of exchauge of prisoners; his amazing disregard of his brave men's lives; his "whitewashing report" to Mr. Johnson; his interference iu behalf of Lee; his boggling at the platform for he did boggle, be it known, aud would have refused the caudidaoy had it not been fixed as it was; his double dealing in the Stanton Imbroglio; his slur on that representative Republican, General Butler; his complicity in swinging around tbe circle; his proven unveraoity in the Cabinet; tbe cloud under which he left the army in 1854, with the "tureen story" at length; the pleasing manuer in which he peacefully puffed his cigar when, on a certain day in Virginia, two thousand United States soldiers were shot dead and three thousand wounded iu two hours' time, to the extraction of no further comment from their general than & nonchalant, "Well, we must try it again," as, lighting a fresh partaga, he left his com fortable camp chair to mount his horse; -these thiDgs and more will be brought up against him, and tipped with the same venom as the shafts now levelled at the once adored John son. Back of thtin, as back of them with Mr. Johnson, will be a furious Senate, largely re inforced with loil vagiauts, nud a bitter House. Great as he is, Grant will go down, if ever President, unless he be heart nud soul with the Wades, Forneys, Butlers, Sumuers, and Hic.kleses.
