THE REPUBLICAN FARTY IN THE FALL CAMPAIGN. From the B. T. Timet. "The work of the Republican party is not finished," said Mr. Conkling at Saratoga, "nor is there any other party able or willing to finish it." Truer words were never spoken. There in a large unfinished work before us, and the antecedents and aspirations of the Republican party indicate its special fitness for the task. It has done so much, and done it bo well, that it should not shrink from the responsibilities now before it. "We ware never more earnest Republicans than now," the Senator'rerrarkeM on the same occasion. That is good news too. But if the earnest ness which animates the leaders assembled at (Saratoga is to be imparted to the rank and file, and to be sustained uutil November as it must be if victory is to be then achieved we apprehend that there must be some intel ligible and specifio exposition of the work which lies before the party. Generalization is well enough in its way, but a strong and clearly defined purpose is essential to enthu siasm. The absence of any sign of such a purpose is the weak point in Mr. Conkling's fcpeech. . The Bame defect is apparent in the other wise admirable sketch of recent Republican achievements which Vice-President Colfax has contributed to the Independent. As a vindication of the present Congress, the state ment of Mr. Colfax is almost complete. We cannot accept his estimate of the tariff changes which were appended to the Tax bill, and are too conscious of the blunders com mitted by the ultra-protectionists in other re spects, to concur in an unqualified eulogy of the fiscal and financial agacity of the ruling majority. In the main, however, the claim to popular confidence which Mr. Colfax sets up in behalf of the party is eminently just. It has completed recontruction, has perfected essential , constitutional guarantees, has insisted upon retrenchment, has largely reduced taxation, and has pro vided for the more equitable , distribution of banking facilities. It shares with the ad ministration the credit inseparable from the more efficient collection of revenue, and from a reduction of the expenses in. every branch of the Government. .The gain accruing to the party from these sources Mr. Colfax has not overstated. Very wisely, moreover, he couples a reference to the great reduction of the debt With the expression of a hope that Mr. Boutwell will push his costly policy "not so rapidly" in the future. That hope the country echoes, not without substantial cause. Nor can it be said that Mr. Colfax under rates the strength of the Democracy. If he has erred at all upon this point, it is in dwarf ing the fierce intestine conflict now being waged by opposing sections of the Demo cratic party. He is fully warranted, how ever, in the opinion that "the Democratic leaders enter upon the contest just opening with more confidently expressed hopes of victory than for many years past." Their confidence is not without a certain degree of justification. The fact that it exists, and that it will impart vigor to their efforts in the canvass, suggests a moral which only Republican optimists will overlook. For if, as f Mr. Colfax declares, "thorough unity," "an energy worthy of their princi ples," "and a zeal akin to that whioh has given them so many brilliant victories," are the conditions to be complied with Ly Re publicans if they would make success sure, it is plain that something must be found to in spire energy and zeal in the party and its managers. So far, it must be confessed. those to whom the party looks for inspi ration have very imperfectly performed the functions of leadership. Our Brook lyn contemporary, the Union, proolaims . no more than the truth when it declares that' if the Republican party is to win its autumn battle, "it must be more aroused to the perils of the situation than it appears , to be to-day; its rank and file must take a greater - interest in its hoped-for success than they show to-day; its appeal to the people must be more spirit-stirring than it is to day." These are not the most pleasant words that might be spoken, but their obvious truthfulness renders it necessary that they should be heard. Glorification and compli ments will not insure victory. It is idle to suppose that a non-committal attitude will be of much avail in a close, hard-fought contest. Facts go further than fine words; well-defined propositions will be of more avail than grandiloquent references to the war and reconstruction. One ugly f aot confronts us at the outset. The "thorough unity" which Mr. Colfax admits to be indis - pensable does not exist. Republicans in Con gress are at variance with the administration upon a subject which at this moment vitally affects the national interests. The President suggested a measure that would have par tially restored the American carrying trade, with profits incident to the European war, but his suggestion was overruled by the Republican members, who, in other matters, have done the work of monopolists. For the odium and the loss inseparable from this action, the whole party are held responsible. Here, then, is a subject in regard to which continued silence is impossible. The party throughout the country must pass judg ment one way or the other; it must sustain the President against the monopolists, or the monopolists against the President. A similar issue substituting the people for the President is presented in connection with tariff reform; and they are blind leaders of the blind who imagine that it can be averted. The growing tendency to section alism, notably exemplified in the non-action on the Reapportionment bill, is another mat ter that should receive attention. Tne greed of Eastern Representatives has inflicted in lust ice on the West; and the selfishness which thus introduces discontent where Republican principles are the strongest, cannot be too . summarily rebuked. We adduce these examples to show how much there is about which Republican orators may usefully talk, and how various are the questions which enter into the fall campaign It may not be desirable, or possible, to embody in a platform every subject tnat en gages publio attention; but Republican leaders, who would, establish their title to leadership, will not shrink from the free dis cussion of - topics whioh directly touch the interests and feelings of the people. Mr. Colfax lust deem it discreet not to meddle with the "new issues," but here they are, challenging attention and awakening sympa thies which prudent party managers will not attempt to repress. The Democratic party Las resisted new issues and has been again and again defeated in consequence. The Re publican party owes iU glory and greatness to its courage, integrity, and aptitude' in grappling with great questions as they arose. As the party of progress, it will not be con tent to enter into battle under a leadership which ignores living questions, or which stands aloof from problems whose- difficulty is as nothing compared with their importance. DEMOCRATIC ATTACKS ON THE CENSUS. from the A'. 1'. Tritifin. . ..The Sunday Mercury misrepresents our comments upon the vote for Hoffman, as compared with "the census. The Mercury', trick is in suppressing the fact that aliens and colored persons not taxed are not counted as representative population. The entire population of New York city in lC.r. was 7L'b,58(i, of which there were lrl,S.J3 aliens and S8!!) colored persons not taxed. This leaves the number upon which representation is based rR",t4n in round numbers, r;(!,()i)f). The vote of the city when Hoffman was elected was ir0,00(). This shows that the vote was at the late of one in 00, or 'MO votes for each 1000 of representative popu lation. Now, the whole number of males in be city above twenty years of age was 187,."81i. The aliens were about 2 per cent., or 40,000 within the ages named. Take out the males between twenty and twenty-one years, bo number about 0000, and we find that 141,000 males of representative population cast l.v;,000 votes. In the great struggle of 1804 the ratio of votes cast to the number of voters was about ;() per cent. Apply that to 1808, and the city vote, based on the whole number' of males of proper age, as set down in -the census of 1W..", should have been 127,440. Where did the extra 28,000 votes come from ? The Mercury can ascertain by overhauling the books of natu ralization record, if any such record exists. The census of lf0."i gave us in all 120,000 voters; the increase since then has been very light, and it is as clear as noonday that no such number of voters ever lived in this city as the swindling aggregate of November, 18GS. Oneida county is contrasted with New York in the Mercury article, and accused of giving a large radical majority in 1808. We hardly concede 11100 to be a large majority; but that is of no consequence. Oneida is charged with giving too large a vote as compared with New York city. We assumed that in this city about one voter to seven persons, aliens in cluded, would be a proper rate. That would give a vote of about 110,000. The first time the vote reached over 100,000 was in lHCt, when it was nearly 110,000 just the num ber demanded by legitimate proportion. Now New York has 21 per cent, of non representative population; Oneida county has less than six per cent. The num ber of men of voting age in Oneida was 27,!'00. Her representative population was9,713; her vote was 2",8."iO, or one in four. In the great vote for Governor that county bore the proportion of one in four and a half, or on representative population one in four. New York city, however, made out about one in three ' and a half. That there were from thirty to forty thousand false votes cast in this city by the Democratic leaders and their tools in 1SG8 is a fact as plain as daylight. The census is proof of it; hence the groans of the wounded. It is a part of the clamor about the law of Congress concerning naturalization and false voting. Indeed, nothing intended to secure honest voting was ever proposed that did net meet the determined opposition of the Democratic party. They opposed the Registry law of 1840, and finally repealed it. They opposed the late Registry law, and repealed so much of it as relates to the rural counties; in this city, they found that it could be made a powerful assistance in false voting, and so the city was allowed to remain under the law. They opposed the act removing booths from the polls and prohibiting voting in rumshops, and also the closing of liquor shops on election days. They opposed the glass ballot-boxes. They opposed the act of Congress regulating the time for choosing Presidential electors, because when all the States vote on one day the transportation of Baltimore Blood Tubs and Philadelphia Killers to carry New York or Connecticut is impracticable. The party always did, and always will, oppose any and every regulation or law that brings the people down to square, honest voting. The Sunday Mercury wants the publio to believe that the city has a resi dent population of 1,200,000. It has but little more than two-thirds as many. THE PROMISED PROCLAMATION OF NEUTRALITY. From the N. 1'. World. ' Immediately after the Cabinet meeting on Friday, General . Grant caused to be an nounced that he will prepare a proclamation of neutrality, to be issued on his return from St. Louis, about the 20tn or tne present month. We are glad to approve of any wise act of the administration. It is not perhaps always necessary that the President should make a formal proclamation on tne outbreak of a foreign war. Such a proclamation makes no change in our relations to the belligerents, nor has the President any authority to change them; but whenever publio feeling runs in favor of one of the parties to a war, it is pro per that our citizens should be reminded of . - 1 1 1 : i 3 a I meir neutral ooiisation b una warneu against the consequences of aiding either belligerent. The necessity for tne iortncoming prucla mation crows out of the fact that indiscreet Republican politicians, like Senators Schurz and Conkling, and- the Republican Commit tee of this city, and Kepublican journals, like the I'nbunc and Evening Post, are at tempting to commit one of our great politi cal parties to a cnampionsmp oi tne Prussian Bide, 'i nis is Dima party strategy, as it at ways is for a political party in this country to attempt to strengthen itself by violating the spirit of our neutral obligations. The Pre sident has no choice but to keep the Govern ment neutral; and when popular demonstra tions in his own party compel him to issue a proclamation, ms aumiaiairauoa iu weak ened bv a public and unseemly collision with his own supporters. If General Grant's political foes were permitted to shape the action of the Republican party with a view to increase his unpopularity, they could order nothing more effectual than to excite a fervent pro-i russiaa zeal wnicn ne is obliged to repress. Mr. Conkling and the Tribune are raising waves which must beat against the neutral policy of the administr i- tion, and bring General Grant into odium in his own party. The well-wishers of the administration might learn a useful lesson from toe Cabaa controversy. General Grant's personal sym pathies were early enlisted for tne (Jubans, But, after examination and advice, he con eluded that he was bound to enforce the neutrality laws. All the popular zeal for the Cuban cause thereupon became an active op position to the President; the bitterest and most persistent attacks upon him having pro- ceeaea irom tne partisan! oi me insurrection, The Republican abettors of Prussia will, in like manner, weaken the administration in proportion to their success in enlisting popu Lr looLng. AU their atUuipU of thu km J are asbaults ou tlut policy of strict neutrality which General Grant will be compelled to pursue. ' Democrats affect no tenderness for Genera Grant; but they are unwilling to see him humiliated when he maintains the honor and dignity of the country. They will support him in a policy of honest, impartial neutrality, because such a policy is not his, but the long settled pelicy of the Government, from which he cannot deviate if he would. We have a treaty of amity and commerce with Prussia; we have also a treaty of amity and commeree with France; and both of these treaties remain in full force. Our peaceful relations with neither nation can be sundered by the Presi dent, but only by Congress. And so long as we are at peace, the neutrality laws, which were passed before General Grant was born, leave him no other liberty than to maintain neutrality with a proclamation or to maintain it without one. Neutrality in foreign wais being the set tled policy of our Government, and the clear duty of every administration, no political party can ever gain anything by espousing the cause of a foreign belligerent; and least of all the party that is responsible for the Government. When the current of popular feeling runs in favor of one side, an opposi tion party might indeed be tempted to turn the current against the administration; but it is sheer fatuity for its professed supporters to stir Up a feeling which renders neutrality difficult. This is the folly which so many Republican politicians are now pet ratine, and which compels per-Gene- ral Grant to announce which will bring him with his party. If a proclamation into antagonism Democrats had attempted to make party capital out of the pardonable sympathies of our German citi zens, ' their course would be intelligible, though not wise. Opposition to General Grant is their party cue; but an indiscrimi nating opposition is too apt to recoil to be of any real servioe. We could not attack General Grant for maintaining neutrality without attacking principles on which our Govern ment has been conducted from the beginning by all our wisest statesman. And as the Gov ernment must necessarily be neutral, no party can do it any damage by attacking it when it is so strongly entrenched behind a long line of honored precedents from which no admin istration has ever deviated. Even if any other course were open to our Government than honest neutrality, it would still be idle and childish to carrv this ques tion into our party politics. This war will probably be ended before General Grant's term expires; or if not, its character will have so changed that no opinions we can now form will be adapted to the state of facts in thu Presidential election of 1872. If it were per missible to take sides, neither political party can tell now on which, side it would wish to stand when the war has made further pro gress. The Emperor of France may die or be dethroned, and the war be continued by a French republic, to which a sister republic could wish no ill; or Greats Britain maybe, oome the ally of Prussia, in which case we might seize the opportunity to force a settle ment of the Alabama claims; or half a dozen other contingencies may arise which would render a previous committal embarrassing. No wise politician can wish his party to evince any leaning to either side in the pre sent state of the contest, even if it were a proper subject of party action. But the policy of neutrality is so safe for all parties, so simple, so accordant with duty and uni form precedents, that when General Grant publishes his proclamation we hope it may receive tne undivided support ot tne country, if it shall be found to disclose no covert leaning to either belligerent. THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL ON OUR EUROPEAN MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. From the N. Y. Ilerald. rostmaster-General Creswell expresses his apprehension that the mails of the United States to Europe may be seriously interrupted. Almost the only reliance we have now for carrying the mails with anything like regu larity is in tne (junard and xnman lines of steamships, and, as Mr. ureswell remarks, we do not know the moment these may fail us. Should England get into the war, as is not at all improbable, this country would be left in a bad situation about the mail service. In fact, it is not impossible that the war may spread so far that no European line of steamers will be able to traverse the Atlantio safely. But in any case this great coun try ought to have a mail line wf its own, and not to be left dependent upon Europe for that service. But the Postmaster-General complains that he finds great difficulty in making arrangements with American steam ship owners. He says he is most willing and anxious to enter into a contract with Ameri cans, but they ask impossible things of the administration. We regret to learn this is so. Our steamship owners should show some liberality and patriotism in the matter and should not demand impossible terms. The Government, on the other hand, ought to be as liberal as possible. II tne Government and the steamship owners will meet upon this principle of mutual accommodation and patriotism, some arrangement may yet be made. It is important, as Mr. ureswell says, that some American line competent to do the business should be started and encouraged. Congress has neglected this, as it has the suspension or repeal of the registry and navi gation laws, and other things which were of the greatest importance in the existing emer gency growing out or tne war in Europe, it ha 8 been suggested that our naval vessels bs employed for carrying the mails; but if even this were desirable or practicable tne 1'ost master-General has no authority to act, and cannot have without the sanction of Congress. Here, then, is an additional reason why Con gress should be reassembled as soon as possible. The country is likely to suffer in many ways and to lose many preoious advan tages in the present crisis for want of Con gressional action, llie probable derangement of the mail service is not the least of the evils that call for prompt measures. If the mem bers of Congress had not the sense or patriot ism enough to remain over a day or two longer when the President asked them to do so in view of the extraordinary state of things that bad arisen througn tne war, they ought to be called back to tneir duty, and tne Presi dent should not hesitate to call an extra session. 6PEOIAL.
