O00D ADVICE WASTED.
From Ih X. Y, Tribune,
General KoHceraiiH ha.s reniloretl his party a
genuine service, winch, iiftor one or two
loro quadrennial floggings, tlioy will be wise
motion to tlmiik liim lor and profit ly. For
the prewut, most of tlit'iu will affect not to
)iave rem! or seen his letter. It is ho frank,
ho square, so soldkrly, unci therefore con
trasts bo Htrongly with the an lering to their
worst passions and prejudices whereto the
Democratic masses have been accustomed by
their favorite oracles, that it will seem to the
majority the voico of an enemy rathor than a
friend. They will have learned how to prizo
it just a few days loo late.
A great many calm, sagacious observers are
finying: "The Democratic party must eloot
the next President. They have lost three
times in succession, and their luck must
change next time." Hut luck has favored
them already to no purpose. They lost in
IHtiO because they quarreled and threw away
their chance, though they had half u million
more legal voters than the Republicans. Thoy
were beaten then because they were far more
intent on defeating each other than on de
feating us. In 18(54 their prospect wa fair
until they held their convention, made a sur-rcnder-to-the-llebels
platform, and nomi
nated McClellan and Pendleton thereon
then they wero doomed past help. When a
party makes a platform which it thenceforth
denies or evades, and nominates a ticket half
of which is an invincible reasoti for not nomi
nating the other half, intelligent politicians
know that it has no chance to win that elec
tion. Had they nominated Guthrie or Hen
dricks with McClellan, and simply resolved
that they wero for peace at the earliest mo
ment when it could be had with a restored
Union, there would have been a very different
sort of contest.
Ho in IMS. Grant and Colfax made a very
strong ticket, and could hardly be beaten;
but a ticket composed of Chase and Ilancock,
or Chase and Hendricks, or Ilancock and
Hendricks, would have given us all we could
do to defeat it. Seymour and Blair, on the
other hand, wero known to be doomed from
the hour of their nomination: wo doubt that
one tolerably sagacious blackleg staked a
dollar on their success; and when the gam
blers decline to bet on a Democratic victory,
you may safely presiuuu that such a victory is
not to be. There wero no other two men
named at their convention who would have
been beaten so badly as theso were.
Will the party have gained wisdom by
1872? Wo think not. The intermediate
elections will, of course, bo interpreted as
Knowing a strong current in their favor.
Light votes will bo cast, and throe-fourths of
those voters who only come out in great emer
gencies are Republicans. Temperance and
liquor will draw off thousands of votes from
the regular Republican tickets, and the Demo
cratic arithmeticians will count all that our
majorities fall below those of Grant's as so
much gain to their side. By the time their
next national convention meets, the captains
of fifties and bar-room oraelos will fancy that
they can elect whomsoever they prefer; and
that will lead them to prefer some one who
'an't be elected. In short, they will run
themselves aground, as they have thrice
already done. The fact is, they can't boar
prosperity.
The national debt is a rock on which they
are sure to split, if there were no other. As a
party, they hate those who lent tho money
that was one essential means ot our national
triumph hato it because it put down tho llo
belhoii. If they had full swin to-morrow,
they would cheat the public creditors, not
(probabiy) by voting directly not to pav. but
by abolishing tax niter tax till there would be
nothincj wherewith to pay. They can't for.
give those whoso money clothed, fed, and
paid the armies that made the famous march
to the sea and cornered Lee at Appomattox
And their hate is so ban-ling that they caul
help showing it, even when it darkens thoir
prospects to do .so.
In point of fact, they gain no votes by pro
posing to pay tho debt in greenbacks, or pat
ronizing any kindred device of repudiation
and general ran sality. Tuoy Him ly f&. I fat an
ancient grudge, while they alarm the timid
holders of bonds, und compel them to do
their little fill for the Republican ticket. But
their detestation of tho bond-holders is so in
tense that it overpowers prudence and drowns
the remonstrances of policy. They rush at
the debt like a wild bull at a scarlet cloak,
and are pierced where they had madly at
tempted to gore.
On the wholo, we judge that it will tako at
least one more crushing defeat to render the
skull of the Sham Democracy pervious to the
inllux of common sense.
THE NEW DOMINION.
From the X. Y. Herald.
Rumor is in tho air about tho New Domin
ion. The London Hikcx makes mysterious
allusions and throws out hints which it is dif
ficult for the uninitiated to understand.
Speeches of strange import are made in dif
ferent parts of the New Dominion, and by
men who cannot bo wholly ignorant.
What does rumor say? It suys that the Con
federation scheme has not been so success
ful as its friends believed it would bo. It has
so far failed to make the British North Ameri
can Provinces a unit. Dissension and jealousy
were never so rife as they aro now in the two
Oanadaa and in the other sections of the Con
federation. The party now in power in Groat Britain
has all along been opposed to the mainte
nance of colonies for the more sake of territo
rial show. Since his conversion to liberal
Iiolitics Mr. Gladstone has been ahead of all
lis colleagues in this particular branch of
foreign policy. It was he who went out hoiuo
years ago to act as plenipotentiary in the
handing over of the Ionian Islands to Groeee.
It is the conviction of the present govern
ment in Great Britain that the New Dominion
leans too much on the mother country and
too little upon itself, and that the Confedera
tion will never be a success until it is com
pelled to trust to its own resources.
It will not be wonderful if in a very naort
tiuio we learu that it is the desire of tho II nue
Government that the New Dominion, which
has been bolstered long enough, should
..-.,.., n..ir.lete independence on easy con-
l III' vu"i ( t ,
k.i;ti,.,,H 'i hft New Dominion is under hiav;
..Mixtions to the Home Government, but we
that the Home Government
ill luv down conditions with which it will
not be easy to comply. We have good ron-
,.i.M;Avat)int. u are on the eve of a
rnt chiin.'e. bo far aH our northern neigh
l.ors are concerned. It remains
1 ..... ,.i,r tioiohbors will act.
to be seen
We do not believe that the British Govern
went will insist that the New Dominion shall
declare itself in favor of a monarchy, although
we cannot forget that it was originally m
vWcd to tte Confederation tho "King-
dom of Canada." Nor do we find it easy to
strip the present visit of Prinoo Arthur of a
certain political cnaracier. rro mow weu
that Great Britain would like above all
things to learn that tho Confederation was
willing to accept Prince Arthur as king.
It would not at all surprise us if the
men who rule tho Confederation should
declare themselves in favor of this policy.
We have but a word to say on the
subject, and we Bay it all the more willingly
that we would spare our neighbors all unne
cessary trouble a kingdom on our northern
border is impossible. It will fail as failed the
last attempt to establish a monarchy in Mox
ico. The fate of Maximilian is worthy tho
attention of Prince Arthur nnd his friends in
England. Two events which have occurred
of late years have contributed lo make monar
chy impossible on this Continent. One of
these was tho failure of the Southern Rebel
lion; the other was the execution of Maxi
milian of TInpsburg. Ow northern neighbors
may do as they ploase; but they cannot havo
a king with comfort.
ARE THE GREENBACKS PAYABLE IN
COIN ?
From the X. V. Times.
The Democratic Convention which nomi
nated Mr. Seymour for President, declared
that "where the obligations of the Govern
ment do not expressly state upon their face
or tho law under which they aro issued does
not provide that they shall be paid in coin,
they ought in right and justice to be paid in
tho lawful money of the United States."
Neither in tho greenbacks nor in tho promise
to pay the principal of tho Five-twenty bonds
is it specially stated that tho pnymont shall bo
made in coin, nor does tho law thus in terms
provido. Tho assertion noticed by us on
Friday, that "tho redemption of tho green
backs in coin is not stipulated by any act of
Congress," would appear to bring them within
the purview of that portion of the Democratic
policy, and expose them to tho purpose which
the resolution announces.
We endeavored to show that by their ne
cessary legal effect tho greenbacks were pay
able in coin, and that a payment in another
note would bo no payment whatever. To this
it is said that the greenbacks, when issued,
wero received by individuals on tho tacit un
derstanding that they should not be presented
for payment until payment was authorized by
Congress, which is a very different question.
The issue raised was whether, when paid,
they were to be paid in coin or not. That
tlicy are expressly payable in coin is perfectly
clear and not again disputed, either actually
or apparently.
The Government ought not to be stigma
tized with repudiation for omitting to com
ply immediately with the precise legal effect
of this promise. We had always supposed
that repudiation could bo predicated only of
an act done, and mwant, in the language of
Webster, "to refuse any longer to acknow
ledge; to disclaim, as when a State repudiates
its debts." It is not competent for Congress
to decide to pay tho Treasury notes in any
thing else than coin when providing fully for
their payment, it it uiu, mat would bo re
pudiation, and when it is alleged with italics
that "the redemption of the greenbacks in
coin is not stipulated by any act of Congress,"
the allegation will generally be supposed to
harmonize with the Democratic programme,
which is a dangerous heresy, und the more so
because plausible.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SIGNS OF
ITS DECAY.
From, the X. 1'. World.
Tho elements of party succoss aroarrw
which either appeals strongly to the interests
or acts powerfully upon tho feelings and sym
pathies of the country; and loidern whoso
credit, sagacity, vigor, and eloquence enable
them to keep tho popular mind in a blazo in
behalf of the cause. The Republican party
is ceasing to havo either a taking cause or ac
credited leaders.
Of the original leaders by whom tho Repub
lican party vas built up and gaidod, almost
every ono has fallen into discredit, an I lost
either his influence with tho party or his inte
rest in its succoss. William II. riow.u'd, who
supplied the parly with ideas and watchwords,
and was long its recognized chief, is as help
less an old man as was poor "King Lear" after
being stripped of his hundred knights by his
unthankful daughters.
John P. Hale is returning in disgrace from
a second-class foreign mission. Salmon 1'.
Chase, accounted by many Republicans thoir
ablest statesman, has more sympathy with
the Democratic than with the Republican
party; and it is surmised that Charlos Francis
Adams, the strongest American diplomatist
of this generation, is leaning tho same way.
Theso two statesmen Chase and Adams -contributed
more than any other two to tho
success of our civil war; the ono by prevent
ing a collapse of the finances, the other by
preventing foreign intervention in aid of tho
Confederates. When men like these grow
cold towards tho party and desert it, they cause
others to believe that it has accomplished its
mission and that its days are numbered.
John C. Fremont, the first Republican candi
date for President, is quite out of politics.
The Blair family have all gone over to the
other side. Ben Wade is still in tho party,
but he has been superseded by a Democratic
Senator, and no place is found for him in tho
new administration. Thurlow Weed has with
drawn from polities and is writing his auto
biography. Horace Greeley is coming to
regard negro polities as obsolete, and is doinu;
his best to revive the old Whig issue of u
protective ttmn. Jwen (Jharles Sumner foels
that tho negro hobby has been ridden down:
and as Sumner is nothing if not malignant
aim sousauonai, ms last "great npeeou was a
venomous tirade against England.
e nave gone through the list of promi
nent leaders of the Republican party, and find
that even of tho few who Htill act with it,
none is giving the strength of his mind to the
old issues. The present head of the party is
a recent proselyte who has taken none of the
old Kepulilu au chiels into his Cabinet or his
confidence. What would become of the Libe
ral cause in England if Bright, and Glad
stone, and Lowe, and Mill, and Forster, and
all its recognized loadors, should either retire
like Achilles, to sulk in their tents, or devote
their zeal and eloquence to other subjects'
The Republican cause is as obsolete and
superannuated as aro tho Republican leadors.
The only "excuse for being which the party
now gives is, that it is necessary for preserv
ing the fruits of tho war. But nobody be
lieves that there is now any danger of seces
sion or of the re-establishment of slavery;
and where there is no further ground for
either hope or foar, it is impossible to
keep up any interest. Negro suffrage is the
only "fruit of the war" about which Repub
licans can feel any concern; and as they
assume tho most complete confidence in the
ratification of the fifteenth amendment, they
stultify themselves wuon tney pretend that
there is any further place for their party in
the politics of tho country. The only real ob
ject of keeping up the organization is to
"nuzzle 'twut the breasts" of tbe Federal
Treasury. But a party which has no longer
I any affirmative policy and lives only for
"pap," is in the last stages of deoay. If the
Republican party had not lost all vitality, It
would not have run such a man as General
Grant for President. In advocating and vot
ing for him, its tone was lowered to his key,
and cannot again be raised above it. Bout-
well's letter in support of Stokes, and its total
want of effect, show how hopeless an under
1 1 a a . . . . . . . 1
uiiung h is to elevate the spirit oi a pany
when it has been once let down, and no new
issues are introduced to infuse now visor.
The speedy discredit into which President
Grant haa fallen since his inauguration will
hasten the downfall of the Republican party.
it precludes all prosnoct of his rcnomination,
and opens tho door to oarlv intritiiios for tho
succession intritruos which will weakon tho
cohesion and destroy the unity of tho party.
Colfax is already in training, and keeps him
self in the public eye by endless journeys and
constant speeches, while poor Urant is de
serting his post and sneaking around tho couu-
try in silenco, without ability to say a word to
redeem his administration from the disosteom
into which it has fallen. Boutwoll also
aspires to bo President directly under tho
nose of his imbecile chief, and means to nso
the Treasury patronage to promote his
chances. Colfax and Boutwell aro men of
small calibre; but men of superior capacity,
like Chase or Adams, undorstaud too well
that tho Presidency will never agaiu bo
reached through a Republican nomination.
The most recent and one of tho best signs
of tho times is the recent Labor Congress.
xno trades unions aro composed ot men
drawn indiscriminately from both political
parties, and their delegates to tho congress
were chosen without any reference to politics.
Tho platform adopted by the Labor Congress
may therefore bo taken as a fair expression
of tho viows of the active and intelligent
working classes of both political parties. That
platform leans strongly to tho Democratic
side. Tho congress did not consider the negro
quest ion worth a moment's dispute. It dropped
that issue entirely, and sought to occupy
the minds of the laboring classes that is, of
a great majority of the population of tho coun
trywith questions of a very different char
acter, mainly industrial and financial. Now.
there is nothing which the Democratic! party
so mucn desires as to get tho negro out of
politics and this class of questions in. Tho
laboring population of the country, without
dosigning it, are becoming the allies of the
.Democratic party. .Not, only are the ques
tions they put forward the very questions
which the Democratic parry wish to have dis
cussed, but the views which they express on
those questions have a strong Democratic
coloring. Theso views will doubtless undergo
some modification after the ample debate, the
strict scrutiny and sifting to which they will
be subjected; but the wi rkiagmen of the
Democratic party will be alike satisfied if
theso questions can bo substituted for the
fanatical politics of the last ten years; not
doubting that the truth has everything to gain
by full and spirited discussion.
