The New York Herald, which has been
shouting the Democratic war cries until almost
hoarse, at length lowers its ton", and chants in
nelaucholy strains, '' All is lost now" In the
issue of August 4th it comedies the Triumph of
the Republican cause, and the election of the
Republican standard bearer. 1t says:
We feel authorized to announce to the money
contributors of all parties and factions con-
cerned, that they will be acting wisely this
time to treat all applications for money for
Presidential purposes in this campaign with
fiat refusal to give copper. There is no me-
cessity for any such contributions to the cnnse
of Old Abe Lincoln" aud all moneys be-
slowed to aid in the work of electing either
Breckenridge, Bell or Douglas, are moneys
faolishly thrown away. The result of the cleo
ton is foregone conclusion. Lincoln will be
elected not only SO, but from present appear
anees he will walk over the course.
How can q beleagured city stend against
formidable outside enemy with the forces ofthe
garrison divided into hostile parties and fight
ing among themselves? The Democracy are
involved in the war Of The roses The Dong
las faction wear the white rose of York, aud
The Breckinridge factien sport the red rose of
Lancaster There are also six Richmonds in
the field, exclusive Of the Dean of the Albany
Regency. And With what unction do the
Douglas and Breckenridge factions pitch into
each other. Ii we may believe the one side,
Breckenridge is a disunionist, conspirator,
secession fire-eater, and Mr.. Buehanan's ad-
ministration is the most corrupt despotisln the
world has ever eeen if we may credit the
other side, Douglas is a demagogue, traitor,
an abolition incendiary III the fiitnsy disguise
of squalter sovereignty, and is only playing
the game of Van Buren of l84s.
Thus, on the side of Douglas we find his or
gans aud orators, North and South, East and
West, almost entirely overlooking the exist
euce of Lincoln, while they are pouring their
shot and shells, grape canister and muaketry.
front and flank into the Brcckinridge Democ-
racy. And the same holds good with the
Breckenridge faction. though net 10 the same
extent. Meantime the Bell and Everett pipe
layers, confessing their weakness before they
have made any trial of their strength have
been bobbing, hobnobbimg around, patching
MP in one place a trade With the Breckinridge
men, selling out in another TO Douglas on
trust; here seeking to sandwich themselves
etweeD Breckenridge and Douglas, and there
urging on the fight between the two factions,
SO that the Bell and Everett ticket may be
slipped in between them.
But with the Democracy on al sides going
to the dogs, what is the use of money to them
in this campaign? The thing is fixed. The
repab iicans have it all their own way, aud the
documents from their distributing committee
at Washington. and Gree!eys documents are
all so much waste paper. They might just as
well go at once to the groecr's at two cents
pound, as to be sent all over the eogntry, lam
bering up the mails, and only to be sent at
last to the grocery. In short while it is folly
to waste money for Breckinfidge, Bell or
Douglas In. this canvass, upon wandering
stumpers and loafers who do nothing, it is
useless to be throwing money away for Lin
coin orators, organs, clubs and yagrant min
stre,s and Greeieys documents, when it is
clear that Lincoln can do just as well without
thaga Tire democracy have arranged it that
be shall be elected, and raising of funds for
his cause or any other cause is sheer nonsense.
