I I' or the last twenty years it has seemed irn , j.oßs.ble for this Democratic organization, as a j patty, to get. on the right sidcof any issue,new ! ->r old. When border rnfiiansdrove t\ie people ! of Kansas from the polls, and by fraudulent ! votes elected a pro-slavery Legislature, and i finally to itppose a hateful constitu i 'ion establishing slavery there on a people j wl o almost nnanimously denounced it, the i Democratic party championed this wiclced | ness. When the Drea Scott decision, in | tended to' make slavery national and all j powerful, was proclaimed, they cordially in dorsed it. All through the war, every measure ' to strengthen the ■nation’s arm and weaken , the enemy’s, whether confiscation,or emanci : pation, or colored soldiers, etc., was, in their i opinion, all wrong or unconstitutional, and fit i only to be denounced. When the war closed,, i and the question came np whether the insut -1 gent States should be restored to the rule of the very men who had used their executive, legislative and judicial powers to organize the ; rebellion and to raise its armies, or whether i every effort should be made,on the contrary,to | organize them on a basis loyal to the Union, the Democratic party instinctively insisted on ; the former. When tax bills and draft laws became necessary to the preservation of the national existence, they warred upon all their details as wicked and tyrannical. When the interest on the national debt could only be honestly lessened by showing the world that our national credit would be sacredly main tained atthe highest point by all parties, their speakers and presses denounced those who had lent, us the money as if they were ■.awlndleM,..an<l..ln.e.very..pna3lble...way sought fo poison the public mind against them. When our greenbacks, whose ultimate value they had formerly discredited, were rising iu value toward gold, they clamored for issues of hundreds or thousands of millions more, to verify their unfulfilled prophecies of evil about them. When Presi dent Grant commenced paying off the debt, with the surplus revenues that his honest ami efficient officers had collected,they denounced i liis buyfngthe bonds at their current value, in ' the market of the world. When a'Republican Congress passed a bill reducing taxation $BO,- 000,1.100 they registered their votes, as a patty, against it. When the same Congress passed ar l)i 11 to honestly reduce the interest on our bonds, by a mutual arrangement with our creditors, or by paying off’ our old bonds with the proceeds of the new, they voted, against it. When it passed a bill'-to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, with penalties only against evil doers and offend ers, they resisted it with vehemence and zeal. When it passed laws for the restoration of rebel States to representation in the Union, the Democracy condemned their provisions, and fought them to the bitter end. When a law to guard the ballot-box at national elec tions was passed, punishing illegal voting, shameless repeating and fraudulent counting, they denounced it and its p -nalties, as if the acts it punished were not the wickedest of crimes against free government and republi can institutions. And, finally, when a war broke out in Europe that outraged the moral sentiment of the world, and without provoca tion, Germany was compelled to arm for the protection Ot the fatherland from invasion and despoilment, their leading organs, as in stinctively as in the otter cases I have cited, took the wrong side. It is'this party—a party of reaction, of negotiations, of partisan oppo sition—whose leaders seem determined that it shall ever be on the side of wrong—which ap peals to the people to-day to clothe them with national power. —Tlie fiend in human shape who told the Adirondack!) ..stQry about, Mr. Greeley, and who was denounced by tho great agriculturist as a liar, puts these, conundrums to anybody who knows anything of the editor of the Tribune: “Did lie take part in a break-down that was danced when the news of the first Prussian victory came to hand ? Did he make himself sick trying to smoke cigars with Gen. Grant the last time that functionary was in New York ? Did he promise to Henry Ward Beecher that ho wonld give up swearing for twelve months if Henry would avoid anything of that kind in his sermons for the same time V Did he play ' live games of' euchre* with John M orrissey 'to 'decide' ’whether 'John"should •work for him among the delegates to the Saratoga’ Convention',,or not? Does he still hold that Gen. Grant is a ‘ sashed and epau let ted Sphynx?’”. FIRST EDITION. L FOREIGN NEWS. THE EDPOPE4N SITUATION.

The impatience and''dismay at bis Holiness, the Pope, fhe'excitement of the in habitants, the Alarm .which.is.expressed by loreigu visitors, the publication of army and war bulletins, in tmth, the" influences of the most contradictory conditions of the public mind, all combine to make the situation new and unusual, even for Rome. The inhabitants of the city are moved and .influenced by the most contradictory and op-. P.osite' feelings, according to the bias of each towards some one of the different political parti es which-seek to control the lay situation. “ Italy against the Pope,” “ the Pope against Italy,” and “Italy with th£L_Pope,” are the cries which are vociferated alternately by the crowd. ' i .v. ' The majority of the gniet, respectable, well to-do people are afraid to manifest liberal aspi rations, on account of the state-of terrorism "which prevails out of doers and the feeling of rxasperatlon which is known to exist in the minds of the foreign troops, who form the chief strength of the garrison. Papal Defence Unavailing. No effort which the Papal Government can now make will prevent the entry of the Ital ians into Rome. I speak on this part of the subject with some considerable degree of cer tainty. The Italian entrv is an event which is rapidly approaching its' consummation. De spite the forts on the Aventineand Janictilum, the artillery on the Pincian Hill, the ramparts of the Castle of St. Angelo, and ,the earth works and ditches before the nates—which have now been hastily completed since their commencement in 1867—despite the' venerable old walls of Aurelian, which are much more interesting in an archeological: point of view than as fortification in-war,; the Papal Gov ernment, after having denied to the very last moment the possibility of an occupation of the Pontifical territory bvthe Italian troops, still persists in keeping the Romans in ab solute ignorance of the exact situation of affairs. , . , Secrecy. b..._ Gen. Kanzler, the Papal Commander-in- Chief, tells the people nothing of the move ments of the military forces; but the distance is so short and the scale of operations in the ibid so reduced that it is impossible to conceal the truth altogether from the public, tviiat tlie Non-Combatants Hone and Fear. : It is especially wished, by the neutrals and also by many prominent men, both Roman and Italian citizens, that the'campaign may prove a bloodless one ; but I fear that in the Eternal City.jhsr now this humane wisK’cah hardly.be real: zed. It is only the voicefof tlfe' Pontiff'himself that can prevent • his sjouaveii from attempting to defend tho : gates of the City by force, and for bo far his Holiness does not appear by any means inclined,to pro nounce the words of peace. V What we, the residents, dread most is ; the perpetration of some vindictive:' outrages on the part of these foreign legionaries justi pre vious to the moment of entry of 'the Italian -oldiers. Although the non-coinbatenf Ro mans are cautious, to a degree of pusillanimity, in giving the soldiers any. even the slightest, excuse for taking offence, they fear that some pretext for pillage and bloodshed will not he wanting to them. Every honest find peace ably-disposed person in the city is, conse quently, hoping earnestly, praying for a prompt cessation of hostilities, in order that this anxious condition may terminate. Position of the Pope. . Pope Pius IX. appears to have renounced the idea of embarking at Civita Vecchia, but it is said that in case it should come to the actual reality of cannon balls beginning to fly around the Vatican, his Holiness means to quit and take a rapid “ trot ” out to his coun try residence at Gastel Gondolfo, distant twelve miles south from Rome. As I now write the very greatest amount of wild excitement prevails.— Herald. Tbe Blue Of Itnly in tbe City of the Caesars.

How the Deed was Accomplished and Why. Floiiesck, Sept. 21,1870. —Florence is in a blaze to-night over the entrance of the Italian troops into Rome. ■ ■ A special correspondent sends the following sketch of the.steps which led to this great event: On Saturday, Signor.Mertino, finding that no arrangement could he made with the Pope, left Rome, and telegraphed in conjunc tion with General Cadorna to Florence that nothing was left but to march on Rome. A Cabinet council was called at once. The Ring, who has always desired to await the death of Pope Pius IX. and of Mazzini before taking any decisive action, was overruled by the unanimous voice of the Ministers. Orders were sent at once to Cadorna, Bixio and Angioletti to make a combined advance. Tlie Italian forces passed the Papal frontier and advanced to the Tiber, which they crossed ou Sunday at Parte Felice. Cinta Castellaha . and Mare Rotonda were surrendered without any serious resistance. , ■ Monday Rome was completely surrounded by.tbe three-Italiancolumns. After a parley with the Prussian Minister on that day it was decided to end the matter at once, as there could be no doubt that the Papal government was overawed and the safety of Rome impeftllodby the obstinacy and.indolent fanaticism of the foreign zouaves> who were also on the point of fighting among themselves, the dissatisfaction being intense. iind the French, Dutch and Irish zouaves on the other.- The latter, angered by the conduct of certain officials of the V atican, went so far as to tear off their medals of Montana and cast them in a fire in the place of St. Peter. Yesterday the Italian forces, 4,000 strong, closed in upon the city. The Zouaves made a desperate resistance at the Pata Paverizo the Campo Militaire, the Ponto Moggiore and del Popolo: but after the fighting had con tinued for half ah hour orders were sent to . them peremptorily from the Pope himself to cease firing. They obeyed unwillingly, and many of them broke their muskets in their vexation. Colonel Lliarettes threw his sword into the Tiber. It is announced from Florence to-niglit that papers were found at Rome-by Tyrus-Meilkeo - implicating Mazzini, Garibaldi and Karl Blum m a plot for a popular rising, and that this de cided the course of the Italian Cabinet. Maz -zini will now be liberated. _ . . [By Mail.J - AFTER {SEDAN. Napoleon and Bismarck—-Interview Be- tween Tliem. The correspondent of the World sends the following account-of the interview between Bismarck and Napoleon, after the surrender of Sedan : - The ICing and Bismarck had spent the night at the. village of Donchery, ancfearlyin the morning, before Bismarcjr had yet arisen,' he was aroused by a messenger, who to>'* ■ ' r bat th< ’ • that the Emperor was on his way to meet him and to see the King, and in . a few minutes would arrive at the village. Dressing in hot haste, Bismarck hastened out upon the road Reading jfroroJlonchery to. Sedan, and_there met the Emperor, who, pale,' exhausted, wretched, and suffering, but still composed and dignified, was riding in a .carriage accom panied by a few of his staff. The carriage stopped,' and as the Emperor alighted Bis marck advanced to meet him, uncovered and holding his cap in his hand. “Be covered, I pray you," said the Emperor. “ Sire,s replied Bismarck, “ I received your-Majesty as I would my own royal master.” The carriage had stopped close to the outskirts of the vil lage, ana hard by was the cottage of a weaver. The Emperor and Bismarck advanced towards this cottage, and the latter entered it, leaving , the Emperor sitting on a stone step without. The cottage was squalid and dirty, and was moreover crowded with the weaver’s loom and fixtures and overrunning with the weaver’s children. It was not exactly the place for the momentous interview that was to-follow, and Bismarck borrowed two chairs, which he brought out and placed on the grass outside the cottage door. The Em peror sat down in one, and BismaAik satin the other. The conversation that ensued was brief, and Count Bismarck has given the fol lowing account of it: Bismarck—My royal master seeks for peace. Napoleon—l have no power now; I cannot negotiate a peace ;.I can give no orders to the army, nor even to the commanders of Metz and Strasbourg ; the Empress is Regeut of France, and she and her ministers must now conduct any negotiations that may be attemp ted. , Bismarck —In this case, then, it is useless to converse further with your. Majesty on politi cal subjects,’ : -—-— - Napoleon—l desire to see the King. Bismarck—lt is with regret that I assure your Majesty that it will he impossible to ac cede to your Majesty’s wishes until the capit ulation of Sedan has been signed. Tlie situation here became embarrassing ; there was a few moments silence, and -tile Emperor then rose and rejoined his officers, while Bismarck went hack to Donchery to see his royal master. The Emperor, whose ob ject in seeking an interview with the King had probably been to obtain bettef terms of •surrender for the army, re-entered his carriage ami returned to Sedan. Tlie King's Story of the Surrender. LETTER TO THE (jUEEN. Yexbrksse, south of Sedan, Sept.lB7o. T'i Queen Augusta: You know from my three telegrams the whole extent of the great his toric event which has just happened. It is like a dream, even when one has seen it hour by hour developing itselt. When I consider that after one great and successful war I could not expect more glorious things yet to hap Den during my reign, and now 1 behold this histo rical act accomplished, then I bow before God, who alone has chosen me, my army and my allies to perform what has happened, and has made, us the instruments of His will, I can only look upojfrt in this light, and in humility praise God's guidance and grace. Now let me briefly give you a picture of the battle and its results; Ou the evening of the 31bi and the morning of the Ist the army had moved in the positions assigned all around Sedan. The Bavarians had the left wing at Bazeilles on the Meuse. Next to them the Saxons in the direction of Mon celle and Daigny ; then the guards still on the march in the direction of Givonne, and the Filth and Eleventh Corps at St. Menges and Fleigneux. The Meuse making here a sharp bend, no troops were stationed from St. Menges as far as Donchory; hut the latter place was held hy the Wiirtembergers, who at tlio same time covered the rear against sorties from"'M Czifires. ■ The cavalry division under ;&21>lr T^to.Iherg; ;..ln,the plain of p.onchory, formed the .'right wing. In the front toward’ Sedan Were the remainder of the Bavarians. In spite of a dense fog, the fight commenced at Bazeilles,. already early in tho morning,and gradually developed into a hot engagement, in which house after house had to be taken, last ing almost the whole day, and the Erfurt divi sion, under General Bchoeler (in the reserve, Fourth Corps), had'to come to the assistance. When I arrived,:at. 8 o’clock, at the front, be fore Sedan, the great battery was just ojieniug its fire on the fortifications. A huge artillery combat ensued utlalipoints, wliioli continued for hours, ana during which, oh our side, ground wps 1 ’ gradually gained. The villages mentioned taken. Yery deep ravines covered with timber; rendered the advimee of the infantry difficult, and favored the defence. The villages of Illy and Floring were taken, and gradually the circle of fire was drawn closer and closer, around Sedan. It was a grand sight from our position, on a dominating eminence behind that battery mentioned, to the right of the village of Erenois, and forward above Pt. Forey. . The stubborn resistance of the enemy gradually slackened, as we could see from the battalions in disorder, bastilv retiring from the woods and villages. Thecavalrvattempted to attack some battalions of our Fifth Corps, which held out and bore themselves splen~ uiuly* The cavdlry dashed through the inter vals between the battalions, then wheeled and returned the same way, repeating it three times with different regiments, so that tbe held was covered with dead men and horses. /We could see it all distinctly from ourposi tion. I have not yet been able to learn the number of that brave regiment. The retreat of the enemy.iu.many.placesbe c°KJn £ arout * and —infantry, cavalry and artillery—crowding into the town and the nearest surroundings, bin stillmo indication . appearing of the disposition of the enemy to save himself from this desperate condition by capitulation, nothing remained than to order the town to be bombarded by the battery be fore mentioned.- In less than twenty minutes it was burniDg in several places; that, together with the many burning villhges in the whole radius of the battle, made an appalling im pression, and I ordered the firing to cease and sent Lieutenant-Colonel Von Bronsart of the staff with a white flag as truce-bearer, offering capitulation to the army and fortress. He was met by a Bavarian officer, who reported that ”»^e«^-'af^iSerT&ieuteiiiiiiMJoio'iilrv'on' Bronsart wits admitted, and upon his inquiry for the General-in-Chief he was unexpectedly conducted the Emperor, who wanted at once to deliver him a letter addressed to me. When upon inquiry by the Emperor what his orders were; the reply was given: To Summon army and'fortress to surrender. The Empe ror directed Bronsart to address himself in the matter to General De Wimpflen,who had just assumed command in place of Mac M anon, wounded, and -stated that-he—would send his letter to me by Adjutant-General Reille. It was 7 o’clock .when Reiile and Bronsart came to me. You can imagine what impression it made upon me especially,-and,-, upon all. Reille dismounted and delivered to me the letter of bis Emperor, adding that- he had no further orders. Before opening the letter I said to him : “ But I demand as first . condition that thq army lay down their arms.” The letter commences,thus ; H’ayant pas. pu inourir a la tefe.de mes troupes je depose mon epee a Votre Majeate (not having been able to die at the head oi -my troops Tlay down,my ’ sword before your Majesty), leaving every thing farther to my discretion. My reply was that I regretted the manner in which we had met, and ’.requested that d’ plenipotentiary be sent, when the capitulation could be concluded. I had given the letter to - Gen. Reille. ■ I spoke a few- words to him as an old acquaintance, and thus ended this act. -1 gavosMoltke full powers to treat,and directed Bismarck to remain behind, in case political' -questions should-come-np,-and-tii<»n—rode-t-o -my carriage, and drove to this place, every where on. the road saluted with . thundering, hurrahs by. the trains-moving up,—ana singing. everywhere the national hymn. It was—- sublime..— -. Everywhere lights had been lit, so .that now and fhen’we’ drove in the midst or an improvised illumination. I arrived here at 11 o’clock, and drank with my suite the welfare of the army that had ac complished this-great result. No renort hav ing reached me from Moltke up to tlie morn ing of the 2d, of the result of the capitulation treaty which was to have been made in Dbn chery, I drove, at 8 ’o’clock, according, to ar rangement, to the battle-field, and there met Moltke, who came to get my consent to the - terms of capitulation proposed, and at the same time inform me that the Emperor had left Sedan at 5 o’clock, and had come to Donchery. As he wished to speak to me, I selected for our meeting a little castle with a park, which was close by. At 10 o’clock Moltke and Bismarck made their ap pearance with the articles of capitulation, signed, and at 1 o’clock I set out with Fritz, escorted by a cavalry guard. I dismounted at the castle, and the Emperor came to meet me. The interview lasted fifteen minutes. ' We were both'deeply moved at thus meeting again. What I felt, haviug seen Napoleon three yeaTs ago in the very summit of his power, 1 cannot describe. After this interview, from 3) to 8: o’clock, I rode along the front of tbe whole army before Sedan. The reception bv the troops, the meeting with the deciinated corps of Guards, all this I cannot describe to you to-day. 1 was profoundly moved by so many tokens of love and devotion. Now, good-bye ; with throb bing heart at the close of such a letter. THE ITGITITE EIIPISE.SS. Travel-stained and ,Torn—Agitated and Pitiable. [ Hyde Corvenponderieb of the London Times. | A report has been current here since last evening, and after careful inquiry' it may, I think, bo relied upon as authentic, that the ex- Em press Engenie arrived in Rvde yesterday morning; and, after a- brief rest and taking some refreshment at the York Hotel, left the town in the Gazelle, cutter vacht be? louging to Sir John M. Ilurgoyne, Bart., for Hastings, to join the Jprinco Imperial. About 4 o’clock yesterday morning the landlord of the York Hotel (Mr. VV. H. Childe) was aroused by a violent knock ing at his front door. On going to ascertain the cause he found a gentleman and .twb ladies, the chief in a pitiable condition. Hor clotheswere travel-stained and torn, and she herself was evidently tired and dejected. They were admitted, and engaged the best suite of' rooms in the house; the lady was for some time apparently overcome with sorrow. In a few hours the party called for breakfast, and soon afterwards the gentlemmi went out. On his return he comm\jolcsßed some intelli gence which evidently changed the purpose of the little party; he urgently called for his bill, and settled it, and they left the house and em barked on hoard a yacht. They left behind them a little dog, and, on a lady calling for it in the course of the day, Mr. Childe learned, to his great sstonishment, that his guests had been the Empress Eugenio,Madame de Breton and M. Ferdinand deLesseps; that the reason of their Budden departure was the discovery, through the medium of the papers, of the whereabouts of the Prince Imperial, and that they went in the Gazelle to Hastings to j oin him. ' Uow the Empress' Escaped. A correspondent of the Telegraph,who signs himself “ Voyageur," and dates from tho Carl ton Olub, says: “ So far as I have been able to see, the ac counts of the Empress’ escape from tho revolu tion! zed capital on Sunday, which havo beon published.in this country, are imperfect, and- Tmfcowifd:~ ; ir3f£Vlr'^list returned from Pans, whore I had spocial opportunities for observ ing the stirring events of Sunday, Sept. 4, and 1 give you what I know to bo the true story of Her Majesty’s escape. The deposition of the Napoleon dynasty was voted In tho Corps Legislatif about 1 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. At 2 o’clock M. Pietri—then Pre fect of ■_ Police—rushed.. breathlessly into the . Empress’s apartments at the Tuileries with the startling announcement and warning: ‘The cUchiance has been declared. I have not a moment to lose. Save your lifo, Madame, as X am now hastening tb save my own!’- Then ho • disappeared—aud with good reason, too, for the Revolutionary Government -would give something to bo able Jo- , lay hands . upon him now. The Empress PRICE THREE ..CENTS; found herself alone with her aUt and trusty secretary and friend, Mmo i e Rr<v ton, and with M.. Ferdinand de Lessens, wbn botFearnestly urged her to fly at on£e. Bob ; her high spirit made this a most unpalatable counsel.. It was acowardice— une lacheti— to' desert the Palace. She would rather be treated as was Marie Antoinette bv the mob than seek safety in an unworthy flight. For a ’ time all persuasion was useless;,but at length ■ Majesty’s mood : calmed. somewhat, and she saw the utter uselessness of remaining. Attended only by the twot companions we have named, the Empress fled through the long gallery of the Louvre ; ' nut suddenly her course was Stopped Bhert hv v a locked door. The Httle narty could dte- ; tmctly hear the shouts of the crowds who were the private gardens of the Tuilerles. M. de Lesseps, to gain time; pro posed that he should go out on to the terrace und-get thCsdldfera onguaril to hold back the ' people for a few minutes,while, in addition.he ‘ would delay the crowds .by addressing them. The resort to this expedient was not necessary,. Mme. le Breton found the opened the door that had obstructed their progress, and gave egress to Her Ma jesty, who, accompanied only by-her tried " fnend, issued into the street at the bottom of the Louvre. There they- hurriedly entered a commony/ocre, not without a risk of detection on the spot; lor a diminutive gvmin de Paris,' not more than twelve years old, shouted “ Volla .I’lmperatrioe!” Luckily, no one, about heard or heeded him, and the cab got away safely with the two ladles.’ Theydrove toM. de Lesseps’s house in tfj|- -Boulevard devH alesherbes, where th'e'EfiiFfSs” sat until she was joined by M. de Metternich, who did what he could to facilitate her depar-• ture to a place' of safety. Later in the evening - the Empress, still accompanied by Mme. le Breton, drove to the dare du Eord, escaped : all detection—thanks to the thick-veil wbueli she wore—and at 7 o’clock rolled safe and un suspected away toward the 'Belgian frontier.” TbeCorrespomleuce^orttie —ImiiMol : .

On Sunday morning a rumor ■ rah ' through the town that the "Princess Mathilda" had arrived with trunks containing,some said 40,000,000, others- 50,000,000 of francs. The truth was, that by the morning train two per- ; with twp trunks, bearing the seal of the then Minister of the Interior, M. : Glievreau, and —addressed to the GrotioU' Ainbassador ip London. The' crowd','" soon informed of this, collected London Hotel and demanded that* the-trunks .1 should be inspected. The police came up, and asked the travelers what the trunks contained. They replied tha.lthey were full of diplomatic ' documents of the highest importance, which: were to be sent to England lest they should fall into the hands of the Prussians. The Police Commissary, as a further security, placed his seal on them, and intrusted them to the Gardes Mobiles. The erowtl continued for some timo before the hotel: -- A" telegram was sent to : M. Chevreau to ask cwhat was to be done. His answer was that the trunks should be al lowed to proceed to England. The crowd, however, opposed their removal, and invested the hotel, as it were, the whole evening,! while other persons impatiently waited before the telegraph office. At length a despatch at rived announcing' the proclamation of the Republic, and this was loudly cheered. M. Gambetta was then telegraphed to, anti . directed that the trunks be sent back to Paris. This was done the next day, though the inhabitants would fain have first ascertained the contents.' M.. - Gambetta informed M. Miege, who > took charge of them on the way, that the trunks contained papers of the utmost delicacy, and . that their detention at. Dieppe was a very proper step. Subsequently two persons ; ar rived at Dieppe with a sealed wagon, Which they proposed sending off to Newhaven, and to the opening of which by the custom-house officials they strongly objected. T his was also . stopped and sqnt back to Paris. .'WILHELM, Oliver P. Horton , of Indiana. Tlie Long Branch correspondent of the N. Y.
