The Democrats, by the selection of their candidates for President and Vice President, no less than by their declaration of prin ciples, avow the purpose to -enter upon an era of fresh agitations, and, if need be, to resort to brute force for the accomplishment of their designs. While the. Republican members of Congress, in full accord with the 'convictions and sentiments of their sup porters throughout the country, are restor ing the revolted States to all the rights and privileges they formerly enjoyed in the Union, and in the'course of a few weeks will succeed in that-obiect, the Democrats avow that if theishaU be enfiladed with the con trol. of the national government they will undo this settlement, incur all the perils that would inevitably come by 'wresting from the blacks their newly acquired politi cal rights, and restore, as far as possible, the condition — of &fairs that existed before the rebellion. - Looking at the matter calmly, and in view of all that has transpired during the last four years, it is difficult to what the Democrats really could or would, do, if they should be entrusted with the adminis tration. If they should discard, as they declare they would, the reconstructed gov ernments existing, or soon to exist, in the Southern States, what governments would they recognize, and attempt to restore? Would they set up the old Constitutions of those States, and re-establish, so far as they may be living or .accessible, the men who held offices under those instruments? If so, those Constitutions would conflict with the amendment to the, Federal Constitution abolishing slavery, as well as with other cheitiee made in that organic law. The terms Of the old office-holders have fully expired,. - Multitudes of them are Ili - their graves t and many more scattea . abroad, so u not Pi be gathered together again. To attempt re-Organization on this hasle t would be absurd, and involve hazards from which the country may.well shrink. If this ,plan should be adopted, after incalculable tur moil and trouhle, Constitutional Conven tions would have to be held la the Southerr 'States and fresh elections be held under them. That we may not be' fairly. charged with censoriousness in imputing rev,olntiohary deiigns to the Demoiiiits, we beg to call at tention to certain facts attending the nomi nation of their candidates. • There is no room to doubt but the nomi nation of Mr 13Eirmorn to the Presidency was "set up" beforehand. The elaborate speech he made just prior' o the assembling of the National Convention. was ins bid for the favor ofids party. Els repeated decli nations of the honor he coveted, deceive no one. What was intended by , the managers has been accomplisLed. Why Was Mr. Saviebtrn nominated.? •Neither for pni-eminent abilities nor un- Common services. 'Re was never in either blanch, of the Legislature of his State, nor in the Senate or House of Representatives of the United States. Nor yet has be had experience in any diplomatic position. He has simply served as Governor' of. New York. Neither in performing the functions of that'office nor in the conduct of his per sona affairs, has he disclosed executive abilities of a superior order. A. man Of common powers, fluent, polished, graceful, he was nominated in part for his address, but more for the peculier type of his politi cal opinions. An ardent disciple of Mr. CLl.noult, he stood by the South through all the heatal discussions 'that preceded the rebellion, and through the four years of the great conflict. Mr. BLexa's revolutionary letter, which we published yesterday, procured his nomt nation to the Vico Presidency. The equal ly" extravagant and incendiary speech he made subsequently, was greeted with the wildest approval, and is now waking re sponsive echoes from one end of the coun try to•theaother. The fact is manifest that the Democrats are . dissatinfied with the settlement made and ' making of the rebellion. Believing the' gisurrectionists to have been in the right, they mean to release them from all penaltiee and infelicities resulting from theh defeat; and this they mean to do at the Wizard of plunging the republic back again Into the horrors of civil war. On the other band; the Republicans, through their National Convention, and by the declarations of their 'candidates, stand pledged to peace, progreas and prosperity, for all the States and for all classes of in habitants therein; They want no more in ternal strife and bloodshed t but desire as speedily as possible to close all the wounds. Made by the war,:thal the new career of the nation may illustrate the excellence of uni ty, liberty and fraternity. .9ELUSIONS VANISHING' Upon the emancipation of the blacks in the Southern States, a large part of them rushed to the conclusion that liberty found its best expression in exemption 'from work. That was the exemplification of liberty _with which "they-Juid been famillarized / fronfthe first dawn of intelligence upon them.• Their owners, bad Dracticed Idleness, regarding • productive labor alf - menial and degrading. They had themselvea-been-conlitantly over ..taipked-"lo make up for the inefficiency and generid worthlessness of the dominant caste. Consequently they longed for rest----for the cessation of eons ant muscular strain---more than for anything else. Repose epitomized to them all that is must`desirable In the nature of the case, this was a dela ._ Sion that could not. last. Work was pre. ordained for manV as essential not only to his physical development and wellbeing, - but as contributing most leffectually to his moral soundness andOintelleetual training. It is a homely'line, but as- true as homely, that "Satan finds some mischlff still for idle hands to do." If the men, who fill the jails and penitentiaries had been brought up' to regular and systematic employments, so as to make work , pleasant and congenial, conwaratively few of them would have alien from.the rank of virtuous and honored members of society. As a mental instruc tor2l moreover, work has no superior. The 2111Z;2=ZE2 =EMI PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : TUESDAY, JULY 14, RM.' minds of most men have been trained and exp*u4ed thrciligh their fingers more than in all other ways put together. What ideas they have wile to them chiefly through their manual employments; and this train ing ranks next in value to that physical subsistence which, in general, depends mostly, if not exclusively, on muscular ex ertion. The blacks are coming to understand that nothing is so hard or unprofltable as idle ness. During the present season they have worked with mme regularity and persis tence than at any former period sincitheir enfranchisement. Henceforward they may reasonably be expected to settle down more and- more perfectly to industrial pursuits, contraniting their full proportion to the pro duction of the nation. In like manner the whites, when their slaves were taken from them, did not know which ,way , to= turn or what to do. To work, they knew not how, and to beg they were ashamed. But necessity was in exorable. They began to feel the pressure of that general law—sometimes interfered with through abnormal arrangements, such as Slavery and. other forms of monopoly— that he who will not work shall not eat. At first they did not comprehend this pri- Dial decree, sad would not fall into harmony with it. Such contumacy brought • npon them fearful retribution. Recently we read the report of an Episcopal disocese, which showed how the aristocracy in moat of the parishes had been peeled and riven. In many of them, formerly famous for wealth, culture and 'refinement, not a white parish ioner was left. If spared by the scythe of : war, they were too proud to work in th e , localities that had Witnessed their opulence:- and arrogance, and had emigrated to the South, West, or to the midland Territories, , or to the Pacific Coast. Wherever they have gone, the law of labor will find thim out, and make them do their shaies in the regular on-goings of the human race. But, this is not the point we had specially in view. The Southern whites have found out, as well as the Southern blacks, that they must work or starve; and they are working, both men and women. Never before 'were there as few drones in the Southern States as this year, and the num ber will be diminished still farther. This newly acquired industry on the part of the •witites is of great valeit in the general esti mate of the future progress of the country. It stands foremost among the indications that all the natural advantages of the South ern States will be brought into play and be vitalized, putting an ,and to the jealousies formerty existing there, thus placing the two sections fen the first time in harmony tato the revenue systems to. be enforced, and preparing the way for enduring unity and concord. CROP PROSPECTS. Harvesting- goes on rapidly in Central Ohio and South-western Pennsylvania, and L about to : commence in the northerly tracts bordering along Lake "Erie. Wheat is considered a finer crop than for five years, past,-the heads being large and well-filled and the grain very sound, plump and bright. The crop is not so remarkable for its yield pei; acre, :but rather for its uni formity, oovvng the ground evenly, and being everywhere about bp to the same standard. The breadth of ground cut over is rather in excenr_of the pest three years, and the yield is, as we hay* said, better than in the five years since '63. The belt of country on the,parallel between this point and ColuMbus, Ohio, Will Probably thrash out at leak sixty-sir per - cent more grain than last year. Oats are filling fast and promise an extra Fro. . p r the stand being even, and the grow ing grain has that • dark luxuriant color which, no bad weather intervening, will in three weeks carry the best harvest for years into 'shock. Barley is doing via, but is much mere than usually light. We hear an universal complaint that a good share of the seed fail ed apparently to germinate. We 7zik. the crop will fall one-third short of last year's, in the district specially reterred - to, the grain will be full, and, with fa orable weather, bright and of the heist merclumta- ble quality. Corn, every one remarks, has cl3Me for wardeunder the extremely favorable weather of the past few woks, faster than at
