Keverdy Johnson's, pe.ue treaty on the Alabama claims, have created Boinethiii!? of a war panic in England, and have perplexed Napoleon and alarmed the provi hioiial government of Spain. From all these things the conclusion across the water has logi cally been this that General Grant is iroinir to trive us and the world tho njrtrressive warlike i;ame of Napoleon the First, instead of the pacific dispensation of Napoleon the Third. Similar impression's have prevailed hero to Rich an extent that the cunning gold unit .linir bulls of Wall fetreet for a little whife coined money from their impending wars anld rumors of wars, and the Ixdlicoso Cabinet councils thereon, lint the 'Wall street gamblers have eo tar exhausted their war panics that the stupidest plucked pigeons no longer believe in the cry of wolf. The prevailing iuiprcs lion in .Vall btreet lias become so strong that Grant means peace that no more such experiments are now tried, as "belligerent rights lor Cuba,'' "war with Spain, England, and France,'' "the projected military occupation of Mexico," or tho "invasion of Canada," or the 'Seizure of Nassau." All such late high-flying canards have become dead ducks. In fact, the convincing .signs and evidences of peace which have of late been thrown out eo freely from Washington have resulted in a general disappointment of the expectations of our linuncicrs, politicians, and people, Querc is a time, says King Solomon, for every thing, and among other things a time for war and a time for peace, and General Grant evi dently believes that the timo for peace has come, and is resolved not to risk anything that may possibly disturb the existing peace. The only danger is, to use a familiar expression, that lie may run this peace policy into tho irround. and give us too much of tho benevolent old woman or the pacific Quaker. General Grant. , in the broad-briinmcd hat and butternut bhad bellied coat of the amiable Quaker, may be a pleasing subject of contemplation to the philan thropist, but the character, in our judgment, is not suited to the man, the place, or the time. But tho Secretary of the Treasury says to him, 'We must deal cautiously on all these cpiestions. ; which smell of gunpowder, because of the peril to our bonds and currency from the London Stock Exchange and the gold bulls of Wall street:'1 tho Secretary of Stato says, "We must throw out a tub to the whalo now and then to amuse him, but let us have peace;" tho Secretary of War says, "We have our hands full just now in regulating Southern Rebels and Western In dians;" tho Secretary of tho Interior protests that any alarm of war will arrest the good work of his Quaker friends among tho Indians and tho settlement and development of our new mining States and Territories;'' the Postmaster Gencral says, "Let Cuba, St. Domingo, Mexico, and the Alabama claims wait awhile, we have now other fish to fry;" the Attorney-General gives his opinion that it will be a blunder to accept the belligerent rights and neutrality pre cedents of England or tho humane intervention experiment of Napoleon, and the Secretary of the Navy sees in tho reunion of the late bellige rent Presbyterian factions the dawning of that promised millennium when the British lion and the American eagle shall lie down together be tween General Grant and Queen Victoria, and the ships of the navy shall be employed in the diffusion of tracts and Bibles among the heathen. Wo conjecture, nt least, that such are the opinions which control the Cabinet, and we sus pect, too, that In such pacific ideas the Cabinet members believe they are speaking the mind of their chief. In regard to the President himself, we apprehend that having satisfied Congress and tho office-hunting politicians in the division of the spoils, and the radical leaders in regard to negroes rights, Indians' rights, and women's rights, as far as possible, and having made up his mind that the Alabama claims may be kept as a rod in pickle, that Mexico can wait, that uuua is uoing very wen, ana that St. Domingo may be wisely postponed till tho reassembling of Con gress, he Is resolved for a season to take things quietly and smoke his cigar in peace. This may be pronounced "a lame and imiotent conclusion," and a transformation of General Grant utterly impossible; yet such as we have Indicated appears to be his position and his pol icy. His position seems to bo that of a man satisfied with things as they arc and indifferent to the shaping of events; and his policy appears as that of masterly inactivity, and peace at all . hazards of delay upon every question affecting our foreign reiatlous. Will not anything, then, be done upon any of these questions till the reas sembling of Congress in December? Perhaps not. Is this tho bc9t plan for establishing peace? We think not; but wo must await the course of events. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ITS PR03- j PECTS. From tlie Ar. Y. Time. The Democratic party must sadly need felici tation If it find pleasure or profit in the grounds of congratulation sketched by the World. The declaration with which that journal started a fortnight ago was equivalent to a confession of party helplessness. It was an acknowldgrnent that the prospects of tlie party are mainly condi tional upon opportunities that may arise from the failures or mistakes of General Grant and his administration. "If his administration should be strong, judicious, and popular," said the World, "the Democratic party could make but little headway during the next four years." Tho object, of course, is to show that the ad ministration does not promise to be strong, judi- . cious, or popular; and this is tho bl ight leature of the prospect on which Democrats are recom mended to fasten their anxious gaze. 1 Now the future of tho Republican party Is un doubtedly lu a large degree dependent upon tho realization of tho hopes and purposes which were expressed by the election of General Grant to tho Presidency. Tho party, as well as thu ad ministration, Is on its trial, and if the measures of the latter provoke an adverse verdict, the partv must endure tho consequences. It is yet too "soon, however, to pronounce judgment. Admitting that some blunders have been coin . mitted in tho matter of appointments, and that tlie policy of Mr. Houtwell has tailed to com mand tho approval of the business classes, we see nothing to justify the assertion of the World ' that the President "has thus far, been of greater service to his oppo nents than to his partisans." On 1110H im portant point his policy remains to bo de veloped. The dispensation of patronage lias left liim little, leisure to mature plans for the work which he Is solemnly pledged to perform. '"Il has made 'a beginning with the unrecon structed Suites on a basis affording room for tho jhope that the policy of proscription urged by 'tho extremists will be broken down, lie has Mmuartcd trrcater cfllcicncy.and so far as can .now bo seen irreatcr lutegrlty to the collection uf revenue; so laying tho foundation lor that reduction ot taxes wlilcli congress, u it fulfil the wishes of tho people, will assuredly HVect. For thu rest wo are content to wait. Tlie first three months of tho four years' service ere mill uuvxpUcd. It will bo well to wait till the first year Is over before venturing to be prophetic. And if the Worll, with all Its in ireniilty, enn furnish the Democracy no moro unlit! comolatlon than that predicated upon an nllpged failure of the administration ere it has fairly got to work, their prospects are gloomy indeed. Meanwhile wliat is the Democratic party doing to better its position ? What capital Is it accumulating beyond a reversionary interest In the possible blunders of a Republican adminis tration ? If it arraigns the shortcomings of Us adversaries. It should be able to point explicitly to its own claims upon the country's coiiiideace. On this aspect of the subject," liowe or, the World is cvas'rve and unsatisfactory. It tells us that its party "no longer rests under that incu bus" of slavery from which it has hitherto suf fered: and, lurtln r, that It "is 0:1 the progressive and winning side in all the iuJusirial anil financial questions." These are. positively, the only approach to an exposition of the lb mocrntic policy on which our contemporary has ventured. It, does not dare to claim for its party the merit of an advance from tlie position occupied under Seymour and IMair last Novem ber. Jt does not pretend that the party has made the slightest progress towards a recogni tion ot the new order of affairs, or that the causes of Seymour's defeat have in any respect t their force. The World too adroit in par tisan warfare not to perceive tho advantage that would, lie gained by a slioiv ot change in tho Democratic attitude: audits silence is the best proof that, though the Incubus of slavery is gone, the consequences ot tlie slave policy Mill fetters the movements of the party. It still uns in the old grooves of tradition and pre judice. J he Democratic Statu toinmittce ot Califor nia the oilier day delincd orthodoxy to oo oppo sition "to the radical measures of Congress, including the fitteenth amendment." and to "the appointment of negroes to olllee." The description is equally applicable to other States. hi New York, as in California, the Democrats I'pose the political equality which even South ern leaders now recognize as one of the inevita ble results of the war. Everywhere, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the democratic party. as a partv, noios ino same ground. mere has been no improvement no advance. Old issues make up the party's creed. The exploded doctrine that "this is a white man's Govern ment" , regulates the councils in Indiana and Illinois. To these men experience teaches no lesson. Tlie revolution wrought in the public mind, the altered condition and requirements of the country, the certainty that the day is past for galvanizing into life dogmas which "the people have trampled under foot all pass for nothing in the estimation of the main body of the party whoso future the World prououuees full of hope! The truth is, that before discussing tlie chances of gain from the sins or follies of General Grant's administration, the Democratic party niHst overcome troubles which threaten to be lorinidable in its own ranks. It gives sijjns of discord, not to say of Incipient disorganization. The more courageous of its members protest against the determination to fasten upon it a policy that makes detcat inevitable. The neces sity of obtaining accessions is not disguised; but how are they to be had, unless the party discards all that is obnoxious in its past course, and adapts itself to the convictions and wants of the country ? Tlie inquiry is discussed practically and earnestly by Democratic journals which take a less sanguine" view of the prospect than is expressed by the World. In the West, especially the discussion is general; and in Wisconsin it indicates danger to the party's unity. "We have worked at the losing job for years, and got beat all the while," is the frank averment of oue of the Wisconsin oracles, which is irreverent enough to recommend, as a good beginning, the knocking "out of the way tho dead figure-heads that have been standing in" the Democratic front for a long time, "whose chief business seemed to bo to keep all new ideas from reaching the ranks:" These "new ideas," and their probable etiect upon the De mocratic party, should be considered in any candid est'una'te of its prospects. The World quietly ignores them. FISCAL MISMANAGEMENT OF THE REs PUBLICAN PARTY. Frem the -V. V. WorUL The striking and instructive speech delivered by General Alcorn in tho recent Commercial Convention at Memphis furnishes a fresh occa sion for inculcating a lesson which cannot be too deeply impfessed upon the public mind. The fact that "General Alcorn is a radical in politics, that hu is a Republican Senator-elect from the State of Mississippi, that he is no speculating theorist, but an enterprising business man, that lie is the largest or next to the largest cotton planter in the South, ought to command for his statements a degree of attention from the party in power which they would hesitate to accord to the representations of political opponents, or to mere theorists or alarmists. The facts so impressively marshalled by General Alcorn iiru suimorted bv such an arrav and such a variety of overwhelming evidence as to render it impossible to dispute their authority. His statements accord with, and are borne out by, all the information on the same subject which we gather from other sources. The last number of the London Economist, for example, says that the cultivation of cotton in other parts of the world has not only held its own, but has been steadily extended, in the lace ot American com petition biuee the close of our civil war. This is a pregnant and alarming fact, the Importance of w hose consequences to our fiscal prosperity can hardly be overrated. e need not adopt the peculiar coloring which General Alcorn puts upon his view as to proper counteractive measures. He insists, with much acrid emphasis, that the extension of cottou culture in other regions of the globe is the result of a concerted and formidable "conspiracy" by foreigners hostile to our interests. His free use of this odious epithet does not strengthen In case. It ought to have been foreseen, from the beginning, that foreigners would be thoroughly alive to their own interests on this great subject. The heavy calamities which they suffered by the stoM'age of the cotton supply during our civil war, made it a reasonable measure otself-protec- tiou to guard, it possible, against tuo recurrence of so great an evil. We ought to have known, without wuiting for experience to teach us, that they would not again, if they could help it, be dependent upon a single tource of supply for the raw material of to important an industry. It is ridiculous for us to wake up, tit this Lite day, and suddenly discover that we are the victims of a lorcign "conspiracy." We are the victims of our own stupid blindness, of our own wautnf forecast, of the sectional hatred and revengeful passions which made it seem of more consequence to humiliate and cripple the conquered South than to re-establish its prostrated industry. Nothing has occurred which men of cool judgment might not have predicted, and after allowing the thing to go on so long without the faintest attempt at prevention, we degrade ourselves by setting up a whine about a foreign "conspiracy." The truth Js, that loreigncrs have had the sagacity to see, ud the vigor to prosecute, their interests, while ours have been neglected by the preoccu pation of our Government with a mischievous agitation. It is now at length dircovcred, at tlie begin ning of the fifth year of peace, that tho chances of recovering our old supremacy as Cotton-growers are all but desperate; but no Republican, not even General Alcorn, seems yet aware of tho portentous consequences which must result from so great a loss. When the war closed there were three capital objeuts which required immediate attention as means of rehabilitating our financial, condition. Three of the most important founda tions of our national prosperity had been struck by tho war and shattered our currency, our production of cotton, and our shipping. Th restoration of the currency to soundness ought to have been1 the chief object of governmental solicitude; the currency being tho hinge on which the business of the country turns. But tho cur rency ouestiou could not, with any chauco of success, be treated apart. 1 no re storation of specie payments depended upon tho balance of foreign trade. Until our stable and ordinary exports shall equal our ordi nary imports, Uicro will b no possibility of I specie payments; for, with a redontnil.lc cur-I I r.ncyaHd a foreign balance against us, a run ould be made upon the banks, dr .lilitiiir tlintn of tho told to send abroad and forcing them into ore pension. The restoration of specie payments, Hough firHt in the order of importance., and the liist w hich should have occupied the attention of the Government, can neve r bo accomplished except as the result of great preparatory meas ures. It required to be kept steadily in view, not as a thing to be speedily achieved, hut as the chief end towards which the liniiieial policy of the Government bhould be directed. 1 t)) pi iine condition of its atlaintneiit the fundamental 1 relimiiiary was a revival of the export In l n try of the country, to prevent heavy bal ances ngaii st us in our foreign trade. Our great Maple export is cotton, the demand for w hich, unlike the foreign demand for other pro ducts of our agriculture, does not depend upon tl.e fluctuating harvests of Europe. If we could monopolize tire market., as we did before the war; if we citnld export a hundred million dol lars' worth of cotton per annum, as we did before the war, our financial condition would be comparatively secure.. With this main reliance to give steadiness to our exports, we could stand the variations in the foreign demand for grain, the deficiencies of some years being compen sated by tlie extra demand of others, and the. oscillations being no greater than the ordinary gold reserves in our banks would sutliec to meet without deranging the currency. The. shipping interest, if it 'could bo revived. would be the most important steady auxiliary to inc. cotton crops as a means ot turning tlie imiancc 01 lorcigu initio in our lavor. Jf our cotton and gram were exported in American ships, the credit side f our foreign account would be increased by tho value ol all tho out ward freights; and if American ships brought oacK our imports, ine aeuiiside would be dimin ished by the amount of all the inward freights, Tins, like cotton. would be a steady resource, and it would constantly expand with the growth ot. our lorcign iraue. Our Government, instead of attempting to rebuild these shattered pillars of our prosperity. has done all it could to keep them broken and prostrate. At a time when it should have bent all its energies to crush the foreign competition to our cotton crop and recover for it its old supremacy, it nurdened it with a heavy excise duty, and it has kept the South, for lotir whole years, in so unsettled and uncertain a condition as to shut out the capital which that exhausted section needed for the revival ol its industry. Our prostrate shipping interest has been treated in a manner almost equally absurd. By exorbi tant taxes on everything" that enters" into tho construction of vessels, we have enabled foreigners to keep and extend the advantages they gained over us during the war in this great branch of the national industry, as they have kept and extended the advantages thev "gain in the cultivation of cotton. One consequeiH e is, that, instead of approaching specie payments. we have been rendering a return to them con stantly more dillicult ever tince the close of tho war. The only reason why we ha'c gone on so lonjj without a "great financial crash is. that the ev portation ot Government bonds, to be sold in foreign markets at a ruinous discount, has en abled us to incur heavy debts and postpone the evil day. When there are no more bonds to be exported in such prodigal abundance, the con vulsion will inevitably come, unless we can meanwhile re-establish our great exporting in dustries; and the severity of the storm will be in proportion to the length ot the postponement. Every hundred million of bonds that we export creates a necessity of annually sending abroad six millions of gold to pay the interest on them: and, sooneror later, we must send money abroad to pay the principal. v lien we slop exporting bonds we shall not only have the annual adverse balance ot trade to meet, but the postponed obli gations which result lrom the policy we have so long pursued ot paying our current debts by in curring permanent ones. l mess American cotton recovers its old supremacy, and Ameri can shipping its former prosperity, the wisest unong us can see no war out out ot the financial embarrassments which are beginning to press close upon us.
