The wliole spirit and prooooilinjjs of tha Democratic Stale Convention in I'einmvlv.mi t betoken conscious strength. Wneu a pirty feelH wpftk or douLtftil, it courts nllian?j n:i 1 seek outside Hiipport; but a party which is strong, and knows itself to he strong, dis 1 lius to make concessions to the views or prejudieas of any other Rection of the community. In Virginia the Democracy wisely threw their weight with one of the factions into whioh the lippulilieims of that State were divi.loil, Mid turned the scale triumphantly against the radicals. The Democracy of Tennessee are pursuing a similar policy; and if they succeed in the election, they will return Andrew Johnson to the United States Senate to be a thorn in the side and a scourgo upon the back of the llepublican party in that body. If they achieve this result," they will vin dicate the wisdom of the coalition. The Democracy of Ohio have nominated General Ivoseciaiis as their candidate for Governor; and if they overcome the lO.OOO majority by vhi h Ctrant carried the State last fall they will Lave no reason to regret running a m in who hits not been uniformly identified with the Democratic party. The Democracy of Pennsylvania have imitated none of these ex emphs. Feeling themselves to bo strong, thoy have taken no special pains to make pro selytes from the opposition, either in their candidates or their platform. They are, of coime, the best judges of the strength of the party in their own State; and if they oblite rate the majority of 2',M0 by which Grant carried Pennsylvania last fall, the result will justify their confidence. The Democracy of Pennsylvania have many circumstances in their favor. In the first place, General Grant has lost, especially iu that State, the popularity and prestige by which he was borne to the Presidency. Ho affronted and disgusted the liepiiblican leaders at the very outset of his administra tion. They have neither forgotten the insult nor forgiven it. They predicted that the consequence would be to give the State to the Democrats, and they are willing ' that their sagacity should be vindicated by the fulfilment of their prediction. They wish the President to be rebuked and punished; they want him to be taught that it is not safe for him to disregard their wishes and spurn their advice. Pennsylvania did more for his election than any other State in the Union, and he has made no recognition of the service. Pennsylvania was entitled to one of the most important seats in the Cabi net. Nothing was given her but the Navy Department, and instead of bestowing that .upon a vigorous and efficient party leader like Mr. Grow, General Grant gave it to a man of no Hort of weight or account in the party, the imbecile Borie, whom the active party leaders declared they did not even know by sight. He was a butt and a laughing stock until public derision compelled him to resign. On Bono's resignation, his place was not given to an other citizen of Pennsylvania, although General Grant had previously acknowledged the title of that State to a seat in the Cabinet, but to Eobeson, of New Jersey, a State that voted against him in the Presidential election. The Republicans of Pennsylvania resent this injustice. They do not consent to be snubbed and defied in this supercilious manner. They will feel a secret satisfaction in seeing the State go Democratic ths fall; and the rebuke of the President will be all the inof o signal if "the Democrats carry it without making the shadow of a concession to the Republicans either in their platform or their ticket. In the next place, it is to be considered that this is a mere State election, and, like all State elections in the year next following a Presidential election, it will call out but a comparatively light vote. Of the indifferent voters who went to the polls last fall, a great majority were Republicans. The Democratic; party will be largely benefited in the coming election by the stay-at-home citizens, whose number will be increased by the sullen apathy of the Republican leaders, who harbor a spite against General Grant. The Democrats of Pennsylvania have care fully surveyed the field; they have weighed their advantages and their chances; and they are convinced that they can easily carry the State without making any concessions to their adversaries. They have nominated a consis tent, vigorous Democrat as their candidate for Governor, and have adopted a platform which, on one leading point, sets forth the wishes rather than the expectations of the Demo cratic party. If the party could pi-event uni versal negro suffrage, it would do so with great unanimity; and bo long as there is any hope of defeating it the Democracy of Penn sylvania cannot be complained of for reitera ting their protest. The practical measure to which they point in their platform is a repeal of the ratification of the proposed fifteenth amendment, given by the Republican Legislature of Pennsylva nia at its last session. If Pennsylvania elects a Democratic Legislature, such a repeal will be made; and it will be valid if it takes place before the amendment is ratisfied by three fourths of the States. The resolution on the subject is in the following words: "Second. That the attempted ratification of the pro posed fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitu tion by the radical members of the last Legislature, and their refusal to submit the Hume to a vote of the people, was a deliberate breach of their official duty, and an outrage upon every citizen of the State; and the resolution making such rutitlcatlou should be promptly repealed, ami the amendment committed to the people at the polls for acceptance or rejection." This is right in substance; but there is something a little superfluous in its recom mendations. There is surely no need of sub mitting the proposed fifteenth amendment to the vote of the people of the State, of to- the ratification is rescinded by the new Legisla ture. The question is fully presented to the people in this platform; if they elect a Demo cratic Legislature upon that platform, they will thereby sufficiently express their oppo sition to the amendment. It would be an idle superfluity, after the repeal is rescinded, to have them vote on it again. The resolution which we have quoted concedes a great deal to the friends of the amendment more than is necessary, and more perhaps than is quite judicious. To say that the late ratification oughtj to be repealed is to confess that, if unrepealed, it is legally valid, and binds the State. Bui when the Pennsylvania Demo cracy, not satisfied with a simple repeal, demand that the question of ratification shall afterwards be submitted to a vote of the people, they pay the proposed amendment a most unnecessary compliment. If there had l.een no action on the subject, and the Demo cratic party were in power in the State, the proper course to be pursued would be to treat me propuwui wun contempt, and take no legislative notice of it at all. Not to vote on it would have precisely the samo effect as to vote it down, as there must be positive ratifi cations by three-fourths of the States to make it a part of tho Constitution. By taking it yip mid voting upon it you arknowle Iga that it has been in perly submitted by Cmgross an inexpedient acknowledgment, if it can be nvi ided. The prawnt necessity for action in I'ei.nsylvania lomlts from the fact that the iiineridmeiit hi s been rati nod by tho Lajrisla luio, and that the ratirtcition will stand unl)Hs repealed. But when it is ropealo I and the mi.-chitf of tho late ratification undone, why pny the proposal the respect of a needless anil Iruitlcss popular vote ? '1 he Democracy of Pennsylvania have un necessarily con'coded that the fifteenth aiiundment is fairly before the States for their ratification or reject ion, and that three fomlhsof the whole number can mike it a pmtof the Constitution. This may porhip.i be true; but why should tho Democratic party confess and declare it ? It at least admits of question, and the friends of State rights should reserve the bonetit of the doubt. Lat them repeal legislative ratifications wherever they can; but avoid all gratuitous acknowledg ments. If it bo true, as tho Pennsylvania plat foini concedes, that the proposition comes clothed with such authority that the States must act upon it, and that their unrepealed ratifications are binding, then, as soon as three-fourths of the States have ratified it, the fifteenth amendment is a part of the Con stitution, ond tho question of nogro suffrage is closed. Tho Pennsylvania Democracy have virtually bound themselves to take this view of the question, if, bofore they moot in con vention again, tho fifteenth nmondment shall havo been ratified by throe-fourths of thfl Statos. This part of their platform might havo been more skilfully constructed. According to the Pennsylvania view, this question will, at any rate, have been taken out of politics before the next Presidential election. Within the ensuing year, tho amendment will either succeed or fail: if it succeeds, tho question is settled; if it fails, the regulation of the suffrage remains with tho States, and ceases to bo any longer a question of national politics. There is therefore no danger that tho present diver sity of views will impair the future unity of the Democratic party as a national organization. Mil. BOUTWELL ON VIRGINIA. from the X. Y. Tribune. That the Secretary of the Treasury has, in Cabinet council and otherwise, taken ground decidedly against tho Walker party in Vir ginia and kindred movements in Mississippi and Texas, we hear in so many ways that we cannot doubt its accuracy. His precise views are oi course not made public, but we pre sume those set forth in our Thursday's Wash ington despatch were substantially) a part of ttiem. We propose to reconsider tho whole subject iu the light thereby afforded. Premising that Mr. Boutwell's disposal of his official patronage is not an object of con cern witn us, and that this article has no rela tion thereto, we begin by recapitulating the more importunt tacts. I. The "conservative" or ex-Rebel party in Virginia had a very respectable State ticket long since nominated, with General Withors at its head, and was in a fair way to fight a mag nificent battle and catch a superb thrashing, as it did two years ago; when II. The radical Republican party held a State Convention at Petersburg, got into a squabble, nominated a fair ticket, headod by General Wells, and adjourned. III. The dissatisfied minority bolted and nominated another personally respectable ticket, headed by Gilbert C. Walker, of Nor folk a Northern man by birth, and a Douglas Wrar Democrat, who had already declared for universal amnesty with impartial suffrage. The residue of the ticket was unquestionably Republican. IV. It was obvious from the outset that, in an old-fashioned party fight, the Walker ticket must go to the wall and the Wells ticket pro bably carry the day. V. The Conservative party, on a full view of the situation, resolved to do what any party must do occasionally if it is to live suppress its fools, or send them to the rear. The men of to-day consulted and refused to play out a game already lost. They agitated till they got together a new convention, whereby their State ticket was drawn out of the way, and the entire Conservative strength concentrated on the Walker or bolting Republican ticket, with an understanding that they would vote for the new Constitution, but against the pro scriptive clauses which Gen. Grant L at their request, submitted to a separate vt - I. This movement prevailed, as it J fated to do from the first. There were least twenty thousand Republican votes pledged to Walker, and the conservative vote added to this made a sure thing oi tne result, The Walker ticket has at least twenty thousand majority; the prescriptive clauses are voted down by at least thirty thousand; and tne Constitution, thus amended, is adopted by from one hundred and fifty to two mindrod thousand majority. VII. There is no pretense, on the one hand, that the conservatives thus acted through any change of heart; yet it is clear from a thousand indications that they acted in perfect good faith. They said to the blacks everywhere, ' JJo not proscribe us; we snail not proscribe you;" and they won over thou sands of their number. It is easy now to say that the ignorant blacks were coerced or mis led by deceptive ballots, but they are not so ignorant nor so dependent now as tney were two years ago, when no dodge or coercion sufficed to get oae thousand of them to vote with the conservatives, men, a negro who voted with the conservatives was mobbed by his own race; now, they so voted by thou. sands with perfect impunity. Then, the blacks felt that their political existence was at stake; now, they do not. VIII. Mr. Walker canvassed the state on the broad platform of Universal Amnesty with Impartial Suffrage. He everywhere avowed himself a mend of Gen. Grant s ad ministration, in favor of the XVth Amend nient, and opposed to all disfranchisements or proscriptions of white or black. By unit situ he conquered. And now he holds the surne ground, and has proclaimed himsolf hinco election in favor of Universal Education as well as Universal Suffrage. And the Con servative journals unite in resenting all at tempts of Northern Democratic journals to represent the Wralker triumph as a Demo cratic victory. Such are the circumstances under which Governor Walker presents himself at Wash ington. He wants no offices for his friends or bis party. What he does ask is that tho new Legislature of Virginia shall be subjected to no test-out hs that have not been exacted of the Legislatures of other reconstructed States, but that the members shall assemble, take the oath to support the Federal Constitution, organize, and ratify the fifteenth amendment, and that the members elect to Congress shall thereupon be admitted to seats and the resto ration of Virginia perfected. The Wulker party is not a Democratic nor on anti-administration party, though a large portion of its members were once Rebels, and were presumptively favorable to tho election of Seymour nnd Blair. We can probably act so as to make it an anti-administration party, but why should we? How shall wo uphold a principlo? Where in tho wide world shall wo pain a vote by sotting our faces against the Walker mon, and excluding from the Legisla ture all who cannot take the iron-clad oath? We need Virginia's vote for the fifteenth nmendinent can we afford to repel it? We think not. The views attributed to Gov. Boutwoll seem to make more account of the unity and coherence of tho Republican party than of the triumph of its cardinal principlo, which is making the altar of more account than tho god. We are struggling for tho civil and po litical equality of all citizens before law; we are offered tho votes of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas to establish thnt equality and fix it forever in the Federal Constitution; and we aro osked to caro that our now allies pro tiouneo our Shibboleth exactly as we do nay, that they have always done so, and from tho best of motives. This will never answer. Wre cnunot afford to postpone tho consumma tion of our great work in order to havo it done by men who prove a birthright membership in our party. It is our duty to hasten, by all honest, lawful means, tho reconstruction of the Union on the basis of All Rights for All. "Let us havo peace!" AN AMERICAN CABLE CAN WE NOT - HAVE IT ? from, the X. Y. Times. Now that wo have an English Atlantic cable nnd a French Atlantic cublo now 'that it has been shown that ocean cables can bo laid without much risk nnd worked with great profit is it not time that our capitalists should take steps, in behalf of tho mereantilo and political interests of the country, for the laying of an American Atlantic cablo t We have not the slightest doubt that money could easily be raised in this city for such an enterprise. For such a profitable and secure investment, capitalists would eagerly compete: and. if a company were organizod by the right kind of men and established with the right kind of managers, we might expect to see the wholo matter carried through most advanta geously. The present cables are under tho control of the two foroigu Governments which are most inimical to American interests; and circum stances are apt to arise at any time in which they may be used to our serious detriment. The ends of both cables on this sido of tho Atlontic ore on soil that is foreign to us; and tliey mny at any time, through their, entire ocean length, Lo put wholly under tho control of our adversaries. Wo ought not, in this matter and in this way, to render ourselves liable to become the victim of France or England. We ought to have a cablo of our own this end of it on our own territory, under our own control, and the other end of it on the terri tory of some European power (say Germany) with which wo are never likely to have colli sion or difficulty. We have iu many respects more important relations with Germany than with any other country of Europe. England sends us more goods than Germany; but Uer- inany sends us more population than all other countries put together. We get more news from France than from Germany; but we get more valuable contributions to our strength from Germany in a week than we get from France in a century. We have a very large intercourse with Germany, and both our in tercourse and our commerce will increase im mensely in the future. The length of the cablo to any point in Germany would be considerably greater than to the points in France and England with which we are connected. But in no way would this circumstance prove a drawback ol any consequence. if we have no experience in the making and laying of ocean cables, and no ship capable of the work, we need not be too proud to do as the French havo done in re gard to the cablo just completed. Iney'got their cable made in Lngland, and they pro cured tho services of the great English ship to lay it down. The Great Eastern is indispensable to tho business of cable-laying, and the experience which the English have had in the manufac ture of cable has enabled them to make a good article. But if anybody object to pur chasing a cable there, then let us make one here. We shall be delighted to see it done, and we have no doubt that American manu facturers can be found who would turn out a first-class article. Let us by all means have an American ocean cable before the close of next year. Let one end of it be on American territory, and the other end on German territory. NArOLEON AND FRANCE. From the N. Y. Uerald. The critical situation in France still con tinues. M. llouher, the most eloquent of modern French statesmen and the ablest de fender of imperialism, has been forced by the action of the opposition to retire from the Ministry. The Emperor yields as gracefully ns he can under the circumstances, lie knows that personal irresponsible government is henceforth at an end. Hitherto Napoleon has governed France, but France has made up its mind to govern Napoleon. Another coup d'etat would be useless and even fatal, and need not be apprehended. The Marquis de la Valette, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been appointed Ambassador to the Court of St. James, nnd other Cabinet changes have been announced, but the Ministry is yet incomplete. The Rcene that took place when the prorogation of the Corps Legislatif was announced shows the spirit that animates the opposition. Up rose M. Jules Favre, and, amid a perfect storm of cheers from the left, protested against the suspension of the sittings of the Assembly, as being in contradiction to the Emperor's message. M. Schneider, the President of the Cnamber, having with diffi culty succeeded in restoring order, of coarse expressed his astonishment at the protest just made on the eve of a great liberal act, pro nouncing it not only contrary to the regula tions of the House, but to the sentiment of the country, and, amid murmurs irom tuo opposition, he declared the session prorogued. If M. Schneider believes that the conduct of the opposition is condemned by the country, how w ill he explain the unwilling assent made by the Imperial Government to their demands? If backed by the country, is it for a moment likely that the Government would have yielded? Now arises another and more importunt question, How will all this end? Were France under a less sagacious ruler than Nupoleon HI has so often proved himself to be, we should look for a re-enact-ment of tho revolution of 1818, when Louis Philippe found his way incog, to London. But Napoleon is ft man of a dif ferent stamp. His creed is expediency. "FlictL md non fraii'i" in his motto. He bows his head to the tempest, to rise again in the first lull of the storm. He has gov erned France for tho last seventeen years with so much prudence and advantage ti tne pros Dei it v of tli country that wo do not see how any suddou chuugeof government could proye other than cirtiimrntul. But time will HI. The progress of the nge is towi.r Is republican inn in Great Britain, France, and Spain, nnd we tiust that no steps backward will ever be taken. Tho people, by their represents' ive assemblies, w ill yet rule as completely in Eu rope ns here. Tho opposition is master of tho situation in France. A timely submission on tho pnrt of the Emperor has proved his go )d sense nnd strengthened tho system of popular representative government throughout Europe. RAILROAD LINES.
