The recent course of the ChiCago, Times. in advocating the adoption of negio Buff- ,rage as a part of the 'Democratic platform, i l ag awakened much comment: :-The Tintes does, not favor trniversal,,StitTrage, rs tlie Radicals do, put urges trbitt Impartial Suffrage ;:that is, a suffrage lint ; iced by intelligenceiand property. Ittalt44 the position that liegro suffrage in some shape is inevitablela and promises that the Democratic party, instead f fighting the issue any longer, Shall pro mtly accept it on the ground of expedien v. an d thus beat our political - enemies a ' their own • game. We cannot think the roues serious in this suggestion: Eravinl was negro suffrage.sincathe day It as started. _and steadily denied the - right Of the'Fed eral Government to - interfere with State prerogatives - up to-the last/hour of the • late campaign, it can hardty be -possible that it is now willing te deliberately 'eicheir all its past teachings and get lawn to the lowest depth Ihdiel.ligriL.i The Times has always bin conaiderableof sensatinn paper, and probably adopted. thin policy more with an eye to notoriety and profit thin aka permanent portion of its political creed. It may succeed by so doing in putting money into its camera', pcckets..but it wilt not influencl any con siderable portion ofthe Democratic Mks see to either e florae or conset“ to its pro pogo/I policy. - The Democrats of the nation believe now, as they have ever done, th,t , the ne one of inferior capacity to the white,:nnd unfit to be entrusted . with a share in directing the reins of the Govern. bent. thet.furtber hold it as a cardinal maxim that each State has the sole power to fix the-qualifications Of its own electors,. nod that any attempt to deprive it of the' privilege is Rrosa violation of constitu tional right and national edmity. These theories have formed ?tart lof our-party -4-platformaince the dote of its origin, and and - belie been implicitly believed to be soUnd by every Democrat. If they were, true before the late electien, they are just, to true now. Coritinued defeat has not changed , their carrectness en iota; nor even would the success of the Radicals . • in engrafting thkepposite as a part of our \ system of Government. Were we to de• sert them nt present for the- simple sake : of expedierick, we would not only secure the contempt of the world, but stand , forth as the most inconsistent and coward ,ly organization that ever had an exist -1 ence. . We have verk vsions doubts, too, whether as-a' measure of policy the prof. osition of the nines woull "stand any closer reasoning than as one of principle. The mass of the Democratic, party are honest in the convictions fir • which they have struggled, and cannot be brnaght to desert them at the mere beck of political' leaders. Dearly as they would prize sure cess, they are not yet so anxious for it as to be willing to purchase it at the ex. pense of principle. .It may be that a few Republicans; could be induced to enlist' under' our banner, if the patty accepted the negro suffrage issue, but they would be counterbalanced - a •dezen times by the Democrats *ho would refuse to be bitray ed into theliVanks of the enemy. We think it a ttalter of no little question whether the plan of the 'Times would give us a score of ,Railics! aupportersin any one State. The men who now favor negro suffrage will heapt to retain their connee ,_ ton_with.. their old friends.. rathor.than sudden transformation would give them Owl cause to lno'k with sgapieion linen the sincerity of thelir repentant". We can look. at this . 9uhjeot in no way In which it meets with our approial. Aa measure .expedimp-y it Would prove Tudieroui failure; as" one of permanent patty Itc;ontion:lt would be too inconsis. tent and hvoocritictl and contemptible to be ever eucceeerul. A few men and prep- Rea-of intelligence and influence in our. ranks seem willing to accept it as the only proariect or party, tiiomph. When they come; to reflect - over it more closely, we cannot help but think they will see thst . the impractibility of the scheme eTARt to admit. of A doubt. 'Victory such *a price as the deliberate barter of all our most cherished ideatrwould he too dear to he of any advantage. L The Democratic has but one' course to pursue, and that is the one laid down in its past peliov. if it cannot conquer with this, it will at least preserve its self respect; and the conviction.of baying been' candid o honorable and bold in devotion to mar creed. even though it should 11;. over aelelmlncly defeated, will be worth more than .itathole future of triura h, purchas ed at thit expense of all that is patriotic, and praise worthy. JEFFERiON DAVIS.—The NOW York Tri butte, inn calm 2nd truthfOl review of the ewe of Mr. Deets, expresses the opinion that he is not likely to be tried at all ; "and that, if tried, be is morally certain not to be convicted ; or it convicted;- not to be punished.

For, though govern ments sometimes inflict capital punish ment on cnnapicuotta Rebels, they never, at least in modern times, do so long after, -the rebellion was suppressed.

Swaor. CONCESSION A 4 A 'MANS OF. PARTY SUCCESS. AnArticle~forEvery Demeerat to Read. The Philadelphia Age is right in the declaration made at the opening 'of one of its leading articles,, that: "Yielding to 'fanaticism, will not stop its onward march. The teachings of history upon this 'point are uniform and consistent. Concession is always the parent of a large family of demands. The &Hewers of the Crescent did not sheathe the sword when the Christians ceased to oppose their progress in Eastern Europe. ' The fires 'of the In quisition were not quenched by the 'fact that the parties against whom this institu tion operated mottle no open resistance. The persecution of one class of Christians in'Scottand did not dwindle into insignifi cence when the dissenters presented no front against the authority of the dominant church. , .No one of the despotic govern ments of the Old World have stricken off the chains from their subjects, when they meekly submitted and offered no -resist ance either to force or oppression. If the English people had, yielded to the tide of fanaticism 'which carried Ceoit ent. into power, if they had not kept alive a Cigar one opposition to the principles, claims and demands of that manifestation of fa naticism, the goveranient or that nation Would have been changed into a theocra cy, and, the people would have been de prived of all their civil rights and, immu nities. It is not true that fanaticism will burn itself out, and those who take this position are, either blind guides or leaders in the pay and interest of the en emy. "What has Men the biatoiry of this na tion with reference to its sriominent and master fanaticism, the anti-slavery agita tion ? When that fariaticiam first .made its anpesrance in the form which openly. antagonized the Constitution and de nounced the laws, when they stood in the way of liftigresslias certain direction, the movement was treated with general unconcern. There was little organized opposition to - the efforts of the men who were at its head. To be sure, some 'ash individuals on one or two occasions dis turbed meetings gotten up to aid the anti slavery movement, but the great mass of the people made no opposition to the of of the agitators. What was the re cult? .Did the fact that one demand ions im amate!, prevent a second from being mute At first every thing was to be accomplish ed by christian and moral means. The laws were to be respected, the Constitu. tion obeyed. No one claimed the right of declaring the abolition of slavery by executive authority alone. But as one • , mint of tile controversy was conceded, iinother was brought forward by the ag itators and fanatics, until at last the Con 4itution was denounced as a "covenant with death and a league with hell," the rights_ of the States were openly repudiat ed, and the ground taken that Congress had a right to: destroy or remodel .the domestic institutions of the States to suit the viewiandOpinions of an accidental political majority. This was yielding to the demands of fanaticism.as a means of curing the, t oil, of, restoring peace and tranquility tt the States and people, and these were the resulls. , _ "If such is the histotot the past upon this point, what reason or sense is there' in assuming now. that concession to Rad= ical fanaticism will stop the demands of thatparty in the future? It must be re-_ membered that the Radical party is made up of twoeleFnents. One is composed of honest fanatics, who feel it their duty to push on thii siegricqUeetion atall hazard!. Better no Union at all than a Union not bPsed.eeep iTteelliMsrittlstilettedlirpraret cal knave sharpers, and - adventurers, who have Mounted the Radical steed, booted grid spurred, and will ride it to the fur , hermost bounds of a people's suffrage_ and popular endurance. , Is it likely,' in Air state of things, that the adoption of the prer enifariatiealprogrrrmme will prevail the Badi. calsfrom extending the stakes and cords of their political camp still further ? Impartial Suf frage conceded, then will come demands for the social recognition of the colored race, demands for their admission into the Senate, demands for their. appoint ment to foreign missions; in one word, demands for a full, complete, and entire union of the white and. black races• in this-country. Ifrhe doctrine of mom; 3i6n IS good at this point, it will be - good ' at ell the stages between this and the ulti matum j ai fanaticism, and the whole ground Might as well be given-up at once. . Yidcling the point of negro irufrage at the pre& eat time, wilt ben° bar' to the progress of lanai. icism. "Bat there is anotrel view to be taken of this subjeet. . The mere political agile tore, the men who are using this present form of fanaticism as a means of obtaining and holding power, will not suffer the fire to burn out for wa n t of fuel.. No matter. what concessions are made in the hope of ending the present difficulties, other de mends will be pref, reed. Negroes are _al. ready elected to the House of Represents- Aiwa of Massachusetts. When there, they 'are eligible to a seat in the Senate of the United State?. May not that be the next movement, and ie it to be unopposed be. cause the party in power threaten to go a step further in case the Conservative ele• tment of the nation demurs to their pro . gramme? The car of fanaticism will be, pushed for Ward by the merely Political wing of the Radical organisation eo long as it rides itseltinto power, and the only effect of the opposition from the Conserv- ative party will be to render its passage more sure and its pace more rapid. The duty of the Conservative party of the country at this crisis is to stand firm upon the great underlying principles of the government, and Oppose all mailifesta tions.of fanaticism, come from what quar- ter they may. Coneeesions wilt not disarm the party is power, or indite.= them to abandon flair dedgnt upon the purity of the representa. tire form ofitvernment. They do not mean 'that the present amendment to the Con stitUtion shall be a final settlement of the grand question now disturbing the nation. Not ore of their leadisig , men has given an assurance thit "if the South accepts this change, representation - will follow as aconsequence. They demand this ac tion from the Southern Staten, and that too,, : in 'the face of a knowledge based up on the history of Radical fanaticisni in this country, that it will not produce the -result so desired by kthe patriotic men of the nation-a renni4 of the States, and the consequent return' of peace and pros perity to the people/1 Fanaticism' is boa tile to the. well being of this nation.. Its designs are to agitate, to inflame the pub lie mind,.and, taking advantage of power thus obtained, to undermine the govern ment; ttiet hold authority by force, and not by'ehe will of - the . .people. It is the duty of all men Rho are in favor of a re• publican form of goviinintent to oppose these fanatics, to resist' every encroache meat, to eoncede nothing, and this duty must be performed, or there is no hope for: the Demcoeratie party or the nation. .Taxarrorr.—During the fiscal year end ing June 30,1866, the government collect• ed from the people of the United States over five hundred millions of dollars in the shape of taxes. . Fur the present year the amount frOm these-sources is estimat ed at six hundred and fifty millions of dollen , : No sensible man will pretend' that the government of the United States his any legitimate use for half this sum per annum. It cannot be denied that this extraordinary sum, such as was nev er drawn from any other people, is a heavy weight on the productive industry of the country. From whomever directly, -it ultimately falls upon that industry. The effect of this taxation has been to check the prosperity of that industry, and if per sisted in must ultimately prostrate it. The coming Congress should do something 11 reduce taxation,,and lighten the bur dens it imposes upon the producers of the nation. But will they ? There are projects for impeaching the President, and plans for obliterating the State govern- ments. * and schemes for depleting the Treasury in, order to establish a bureau of education fur colored persons, but not one word is said about reducing the taxes paid by white men. The 'Radicals have time for all purposes save that. The vote of Pennsylvania, the last three pare, has been as follows : 1804. 1865. 186 G. Dem. vote 274.316 215,740 289,251 Rep. vote 295891 236,400 306,957 From these figerea it can be seen that while each party has polled a larger vote this year than in 1865 or 1864, the in crease in the Democratic vote is greater than that of the Republican, to wit : • • Dem. Rep. lee. vote to '62 over vote la '6S 23,611 124,627 Ile. vote In 'O6 over ye aln '64 12,923 10,002 . We respectfully commend these figures to those of the opposition who imagine that the Democratic party is dead, and to some in our, 'Own ranks whom defeat seems to have discouraged to Such an ex tent that they are wiling to abandon principle, A party which can gain 13,000 votes in three years, under circumstan cos like those of the past three, need not despair - of ultimate triumph. We need only he true to our faith, keep up brave hearts, and labor with due zeal, to come out on the winning side yet. There seems to be no reason to doubt , that the Fetlians contemplate a renewal of their movement against the British North American possessions. When that movement will begin, or what the chances for its ultimate success may he, are num - . tions,with which we have nothing to do, and which wa do not props° to discuss._ It is enough to know that the Fenians are making active prep rations for another invasion of Canada. Shia is the more likely since the Rarlimls, who boast that they carried NeW York by the help of the Fenians on the frontier, are fully commit ted to - the entire abolition of our neutrali ty laws.- Of course they will do their best to cheat the Fenians of their price, for they have no stcmach for any war save a safe war on the rights and liberties of American States in the South ; but it is not-east to see how they can. continue to wiggle out of their committals on Elias subject. - - Now that the Radicals have had their war, they are very far from being anxious to keep on the mask which the great mess of Republicans are afraid to drop. The Honorable Mr : liourwm,t., in arectint lep ing his audience that the foundations of our government, were laid in injustice, and that the, causes of the late rebellion were set in motion from its Very begin ning, so that Wasniataroar,; FRANZIJN, MADISON, and all the supposed great, a men who framed the Constitution really de serve execration,_not reverence. This re versal\o contemporaneous judgment and of presen tju dgmen t, this demonstration that ''the best government on earth," which men felt so indignant at seeing at tacked, and became so enthusiastic to save, was really a vary bad government, which might not to exist, is a very concise way of telling the citizens of the free States that they are hypocrites or fools. • In noticing the means by which the Radicals retain power in the North, the Richmond Examiner says: "Unfortunate. ly for the Southern States., the supremacy of a certain party at the North depends on the odium. in which the Southern peo ple are there held. Whatever adds to the bitterness Against us, adds to the Re publican strength. Every injurious alle gation has its value in vote,. Under these circumstances we . may as well . make up our minds to be traduced and villified, as bu.iness and by system.. The demand for udes of horror will . create a market and supply. The trade is especially dili gent whenever a weariness of disquiet in clines the northern people to candid views, and thus imperils the Radical au premacy." !iGenerat Thomas and the ex-confeder: ate IGeneral-Ifocd dined together yester day' at the Louieyille hotel." Po .says a teltgraM from Louisville. If a Union and rebel general can sit down in a friend ly banner, at the -same social board, slimly the people of the two sections ought not to be much longer estriyed from 'one another.. It is'a remarkable fact that the best of our soldiers—the ones who rendered moat effective service to the 'Union cause—are those who have, die played the least malignity since the war has ended, while the blunderers, the cowards, and the brutes.—the Schenck!, the Do', and the Butler's,—arelhe men whose hearts' are running over with bate.
