ua. seems 70 bo fearful Of sreacsion in the old
.Grspite State" at the ensuing election IL
saws that sthe yerS large preponderancs oil ne
nablicau voters that have lett that State 70
febt for the Union leads to grave apprehen-
siops ns to the result" II the preponderance
Of voters who have gone from New Hampsnire
to fight for the Union IL not 90 the Democ'auc
side Il Ia an is plated case, and reverses the Or
der Of lhings in all othtr loyal States, But We
ara satis6ed that the number Of volunteers In
that State from the Democratic ranks lar ex,
ceeds the number the Republicans furnish, COM
pared with the number they ought to iurnisn
according 10 the vote given at the state eiec-
tion in March last.
The Tribune calls Justify upon lis party
friends in New Hampshire to 90 their UTMOST
TO secure the reelection Of Gov. BERRr and me
success Of the Republican ticket, "A triumph
Of the Democratic party at this crisis" II says
ewill be interpreted throughout the slave States
as vote against further resistance to the slave
holders Rebellion.
The Tribune knows very we'll that In this as
ser,ion II utters q base and malignant false
hood. Passing by It's effort to create prejudice
avaips. all shareholders, loyal as well as dis
loysl, by calling the rebellion "slaveholders'
rebelliou," it knovs and clearly foresees that
"a Democratic triumph" will be interpreted
and understood everywhere in the Southern
States as vote agsintt secession and reoeiiion'
and for the restoration Of the authority OF the
Federal Government, on the basis OF the Con-
sitution with every State right unimpAired.
Besides the Tribune sees that such triumph
would awaken the slumbering sentiment OF 10y
ally in the mass of the Southern people, who
have been csjOled and duped to take part in the
rebellion, or have been coerced into silence py
the terrOrs of military despOtism. IL sees
that this would speedily put an end to the war
and restore peace and prosperity under the un-
ion as Il existed before the rebellion broke out
But this is what the Tribune and the radical
Republican party do not want. They are Just
a, much disunionists as the most rabid seces-
siOnists., They do not desire the restoration OF
the Union, With slave States and free, under
the Constitution, and are laboriDg with might
and main to prevent it. Hence, their hostility
to the Democratic party and tdeir dread OF
Democratic triumphs.
But how will the success OF the party the
tribune represents be interpreted; not in the
extreme South, but in the border slave States,
in which DO ordihAHces Of secession have been
passed and where the majority Of the people
are without doubt loyal to the Union3 1t will
be understood as evincing determination to
reward their loyalty BY either forcing them into
resistance to the Federal Government or reduc-,
ing them to state Of territorial vassalage'--
A radical Republican triumph win prolong the
war indefinitely, exhaust the resources Of the
country, and either break up the old Union or
substitute for il a reign of anarchy under the
rule OF fanatics who, to avoid an alliance with
white Shareholders, seek to form one with ne
gro slaves. aa.l -sa
