I . The Right Kind of Talk.
We take.' pleasure in copying from the
Philadelphia Age an extract from an edito
rial headed "Tan Radicals and the DE
MOCRACY.".; This extract embodies our sen
timents,- relative to Radicalism and Democ
racy exactly, and should be carefully read and
circulated by-every Democrat. " We always
believed and advocated that if the nation is
to be re'deemed from the treasonable machi
nations of the radicals, it .must be saved by
the Democratic Party. Thb doctrine, but a
short time, ago, was scoffed at, by some fete
of the Democracy who were in fact favoring
".entangling alliances, ".but to-day veil their
faces' to' hide their shame. Read the ex-tractr-
'' ' ": '
L-. Against thi3 'mad, wicked, and suicidal
policy, the Democratic party of the country
is united to- a man. - -There is not a break in
their ranks. They know that all those gre:-1
principle's which, spranganto life from the
sufferings, and sacrifice of the leaders and
farticipants in the struggle of the American
ievolution, and made this nation great, fref
and happy, still find a home in their organi
zation They feel that, if th'o nation can be
rescued from its present perilous position, it
ean only be done by , the ascendency of the
Dctoocratic "Parfyj and the application of
their national ideas and principles in all sec
tions. 'Theyuhderptana that, along the path
marked out by Democratic statesmen and
made resplendent by years of-natiorjal hap
piness, advancement, 'and renown, Mhe peo
ple must travel ia order to reach a proper
solatioq of the. problem now agitating the
cation." The country cannot be reunited by
continuing sectional agitation. If men are
taught to. hate each "other, they will not be
brothers in that largeand extended sense in
rhich the term apDlfes to nclitical relation
ship4 in such a-government as that of the
United States.-' The eement of this Union
must be. the Democratic idea of State equal

cer is unshipped, and the vessel of state
will drift upon, the., rockst .and be dashed
to pieces by the waves of anarchy and mis-
Ths daty of the' Democratic party at the
resent time is, to stand firm upon their time
m Onored principles.' There must come a lull
m the jjtorm. of passion and bate which is
now sweeping over the land, and then a tempest-tossed
people will look for some haven
xn which to repair the' injuries of the past,
and refif for the -duties or the future. ' The
tenacity of purpose and self-sacrificing spirit
manifested-by the old Democratic party for
the past five years, has- won tha -admiration

- It does- not often happen "that .our Radi
cal contempory, at the cornerof Seventh and
Chestnut, says any thing we can approve of;
but occasionally it emits a stray glimmer of
truth which is really refreshing in the midat
of the thick darkness which usually pervades
its columns. The most notable instancs of
this kind occurred in yesterday's Press, in
the following paragraph :
Let the warning be borne in mind by all
statesmen, that no great party, for any pur
pose of expediency or : personal .profit, ' can
afford to sacrafice itself, and least "of all to
part with the name to which.it hassteadily
adhered. , .
- -Thai's ity exactly. "We 7 could not have
said it better, if we had tried. It is a whole
volume, in one brief and pointed sentence.
It is a striking answer to thequestion which
the Radicals themselves are daily asking, in
reference to the present position of the great
Democratic party of the country. It is our
earnest and sincere reply to any inquiry that
may arise in regard to the future policy of
that time-honored organization in whose be
half we have faithfully and zealously labor
ed. ' - -' ' '
" We are not aware that any respectable
minority even of the Democratic party, now
propose to do what the Radicals are extreme-1
ly anxious should be done by the Democracy.
If there are any in our ranks who are willing
to strip off their uniform because abattle has
been lost, they are at liberty to do so, and
the sooner they tlo it the better. But wo
opine that all such will not expect to be re
cognized any longer in the Democratic fold
from which they have voluntarily strayed,
and we are certain that they will speedily
take their proper place in the victorious col
umns of their old foes, to whom, doubtless,
they will, in time, become valuable allies.
Should their new uniform feel uncomforta
ble for a while, it i3 none of our business ;
they selected the color and cut for them
selves, and let them wear it as best they can.
But if they imagine they can drag any con
siderable number with them into the ranks
of the opposition, they are wofully mista
ken. We speak advisedly. " We know we
utter the plain and unmistakable sentiments
of the united 4 Democracy of the Union.
The Democratic party is stronger to-day in
defeat, than it was before the late disaster
overtook it. 77ie old flag, the old name, the
old priiiciples, are dearer to it enthusiastic
million , than they ever tcere before, and at no
previous period of its eventful history icas i";
more determined to "stand by its guns" than
at (lie present hour, ichen tjie victors are ex
ulting and the faint-hearted few are faltcr-
ing. ... ., , .
Honestly entertaining these opinions we
distinctly and une.quivocally repudiate the
recent utterances of the Chicago Times and
the Boston Post, upon the questionof negro
suffrage in connection with the future policy
of the Democratic party, having boldly and
unceasingly opposed that doctrinc? in every
shape and form, when the contest was raging,
we cannot now lower our fiagandchange the
legend inscribed upon ics fold?, when the
smoke of the battle ha3 cleared away and
the fortunes of the day have been decided
against us. . Our cause is the same to-day
that it was yesterday, and though defeat may
discourage the timid and time-serving, it
cannot alter the great principles which nerv
ed the heart and strengthened the arm cf
the Democracy in the disastrous struggle
from which they have just emerged. In
this position we shall have at least the re
spect of every manly and honest foe, and,
whether victorious or defeated in after strug
gles, we will have the satisfaction of know
ing that we neither helped to purchase vic
tory by the abandonment of principle, ? nor
invited and deserved defeat by striking hands
with the common enemies of the Republic.
It may, perhaps, be old-fashioned thus to
peak, but if instead of temporizing, yield
ing to expediency, or . sacrificing one. jot or
title, of its ancient, principles, the Democratic
party remains true to its old traditions and

The InTcntor's Fate.
The London Times contains a long article
in reference to the fate of acobJSxider,
who died in poverty, in London, in conse
quence -of the meanness with which the
British War Office dealt with him. Mr. Sni
der was a citizen of Philadelphia and at one
time in prosperous business here. Being un
fortunate, he went to England, where his
ill-luck seemed to pursue him. The British
Government availed itself ol his improve
ments in annsr and is at this very time en
gaged in changing all the muskets in the
British " arsenals into breech-loaders upon
Snider's plan. Whilst thus availing them
selves of the genius of this man, the digni-
. 1 .f il.. . ' er l
lanes in commauu vi me ar vjmce ouereu
to the inventor a mean and trifling compen
sation, which wasdelayed until the poorman
was beyond enjoying his reward. He was
literally worn down in the British service,
spending hi3 time and bis money in experi
ments, running into debt,- and suffering for
the want of means. Under these misfor
tunes his health gave way, and when the
very liberal War Office offered him 1000 in
full satisfaction of his claim for 2700, for
expenses actually Incurred, he was compel
led, by want, to accept the stingy offer. For
hisratent he has got nothing, and from the
whole course of the War Office, it is evident
that it intended to seize Mr. Snider's pat
ents and use them for the benefit of the Brit
ish army withoutany reward whatever. The
Times speaks powerfully in relation to this
scandalous injustice, which is a disgrace to
the British character.' There is. a moral to
be derived from the circumstances, . which
American inventors would do well to studv.
It will teach such of them as have high ideas
of the advantage of bringing their, ingenui
ty to the notice of foreign Governments.
that they may undertake a difficult and thank
less task. They will be misunderstood and
disregarded, and if at length they are able
to surmount the obstacles presented by om
cial stupidity,, red tape and routine, they will
find themselves cheated at last. Pnxladel

The Next Congress.
Although thtf returns of 'the lato elections
foot up, slowly,; the political complexion;' of
the next Congress can be ascertained almost
with qertainty. .The popular interest haviDg

Republicans 133
The States yet to elect Representatives in
the Fortieth Congress, and the number of
members to which they are entitled, are as
follows : ' ;
California .3
Connecticut 4
Rhode Island
Total ...........
Kentucky
.21
New Hampshire
Estimating the result of the elections in
these States as that of the last Congression
ai election, excepting tnat m iventucky,
which recently chose a Democrat to fill the
vacancy in the Sixth District occasioned by
the resignation of Hon. Green Clay Smith
(Republican.) the grand result will be as fol
lows : , - ' ' .
Democrats.. 1 .....45
Republicans 137
This, of course, will give the Republicans
a majority in the House and plenty to spare,
so they will have everything their own way
in the Fortieth, as they now have, in the
Thirty-ninth Congress. ' - ,
- In the United States Senate there are
eleven Senators to be chosen this winter by
the Legislatures of the following States, to
wit : .
Illinois, ' vice Lyman Trumbull R.
Indiana, vice Henry Lane, It. .
t- .. f Samuel C. Pomerov, R.
Kansas, vice j Jamcg H
Maryland, vice John A. J. Creswell, R.
Missouri, vice B. Gratz Brown, R.
New Jersey, vice William Wright, D.
New York, vice Ira Harris, It.
Ohio, .' vice John Sherman, R.
Pennsylvania, vice Edgar Cowan, It.
- Wisconsin, vice Timothy O. Howe, It.
Deceased.
It is probable that, except in the case of
Senator Creswell of Maryland every Republican-
Senator in the above list will either
be re-elected or replaced by a Radical ; and,
on the other side, the seats of Edgar Cowan,
of Pennsylvania, and the late Wm. Wright,
of New Jersey, will be filled by Radicals.
Maryland of course, will elect a Conserva
tive in place of John A. J. Creswell, pro
viding that the Radicals in that State do not
succeed by some hocus pocus arrangement
ia ousting the Conservative members of the
Legislature who were chosen on Tuesday.
Should this forecast prove correct the politi
cal complexion of the Senate will be as fol
lows :
Democrats .0 I Republican." ....41
The gist, then, of the whole story is that
for the next three years the Radicals will
have complete control of the legislation in
the House of Representatives, and of that
in the Senate for a longer period. With
them, therefore, the responsibility of the
acts of Congress niut rest, and the country
will hold them accountable both for the
wrong that they may do and the right that 1
they may leave undone. We can only hope
that, impressed with the grave responsibility
now devolved upon them, they will manifest
more regard for tho real interests of the
country, irrespective of their party, than
they have done in the past. But we fear that
this hope will prove vain. ' '
r57 The Copperheads did work hard and
faithful to carry the elections this Fall, but
as to " the Administration," or which is bet
ter known by our Radical friends as the
" Government," we arc not prepared to ad
mit that it performed very much service that
was beneficial to the Democracy in this cam
paign. What did the office-holders the most
important branch of ,!the Administration in
an election do this Fall towards securing a
victory for the " Copperhead?," of the true
tripe, to warrant the Rcjmblicanm saving
that the Executive used his " whole power
against the Radicals in the most unscrupu
lous manner.?" This was not the case. How
many ot the Executive's office-holders in
this State voted for Hiester Clymer for
Governor ? Echo answers, not one ! It is
true, some cf these bread-and-butter-brigade
men did vote for members of Congress in
their respective districts. But if the influ
ence of "the Administration" was used in
favor of-' the " Copperheads," all we have to
say is, it was badly used. The fact is, the
Democracy did not depend upon the 1 Gov-
ernment lor material or any other aid in the
late campaign, but managed their own af
fairs, without the expenditure of, a dollar,
raised for the purpose of carrying the elec
tion, solely upon principle, which eventually
must succeed in placing the Democracy in
position and bury the Radical party in obliv
ion without any resurrection. .
What his Partv Thinks of Him. For
ney is getting into bad repute with some of
his Republican cotemporaries of the press.
The New York Post, Times, and Advertiser
touch him Up lively for his late blood-thirsty
attempts to array the leagues of other States
against tho Government. The Springfield
Republican says he is a "plotter of mis
chief.". The Cincinnati Gazette says he is
an "exceedingly reckless person, whose solo
aim is office," and the Chicago Republican
denounces him as V a political mountebank
and charlatan a would-be agitator, trying
to place the Radical party in the position of
rebels."
r Charles County, Maryland, seems to
be "the land of the free, and the home of
the brave." - Albert, the Radical candidate
for Congress, received- but one vote in that
County, to 808 for Stone, the Democratic
candidate. In St. Mary's County the vote
stood 24 Radical to 1,035 Democratic ; . -

The Kite and Its Tail !
The rocenfc converts to the doctrine of
"impartial suffrage" have placed themselves
in an ugly dilemma.' They do . not contend
that it is right to allownegrOes to vote under
certain restrictions, but suggest its adoption
on the ground of expediency. They advocate
it simply to gain power, and in the hope
that they will be able to secure majorities at
the ballot-box. In doing so they seem to
forget that there is such a thing as "buying
gold too dear.". When they have distinctly
enunciated their position upon this point,
they will unfortunately discover that they
have become merely a very small tail to the
Radical kite, and while their old' foes soar
away in the blue sky they will be compelled
to dangle behind to give it balance, where
thty will remain forever.

going through a space between the bhaft and

dragged over the shaft again. As it was, he
