e YAhKEE DEMOCRATS -n r.
In the two great Democratic" Statos Of
Pennsylvania and Ohio. the candidates on the
eide of war aud the Administration have been
elected by large msjoritles. Vallandigham is
crushed out, and hIs policy Of "Peace Democ-
rscy" along with him. Il goes as We ex-
pected. tT
Repeatedly, in the Enquirer. we have dem
onatrated that, among our Yankee enemies,
there was no difference to us; that the Demo
Gratis we're equally our enemies with the Repub-
lcans; that the "Copperhead" movement, with
all lts Knights of the Golden Circle, was mere
" q con'tivance for bringing back the Demo
cratic pirty Into power, and that, Immediately
on that happy event, the Peace Democrats
would all be War Democrats. The business
of that country is war; by war they live and
move. The credit of their current money, and
its power to purchase the necesssries of life,
depend entirely upon war; the income and daily
bread of each family is derived from the war
therefore, all principles and policies yield to
the grand principle and policy of the war. Ar
IDENTIFY as Democrats and Copperheads desire to
have for themselves the management Of the
national business, and the handling of the ma
tional money, yet they all know that they can
not do without the war at all. Therefore, 1t
was by skillful representing that the vigorous
prosecution Of the war Would be impaired by
any condemnation Of the President'e present
policy, that the populations Of those two Dem
ocfatic States have been induced even to fore
20 their party inteFeata and predictions, even
to renounce the hope Of Office and spoils, and
to swallow Black Republlcsnism whole-sub-
jugation, abolition and all--rather than weaken
the hands Of the war Administration.
This result, be it matter Of regret or other
wise, was inevitable at the present stage OF che
sff,ir. The war fever, like any other malady,
had to 60 through all its range of symptoms
and reach its crisis in the regular way. It wac
not to be hoped, that willie the patient was yet
pletboric and full of blood, the fever would
suddenly abate of itself. The Yankee nation
10 still 10 the wild, unrestrained enjoyment OF
an artificial prosperity. New York City, ss We
learn from It's press, was never go luxurious and
extravagant, was never go abandoned 10 pleasure
and license. On certain fine day las, week,
says the Herald, over six thousand carriages
were counted In the Central Park, on the same
day; all the hotels of the city we're full to over
flowing, and the streets were almost impossible
from the throng of conveyances and pedestrians;
railroad and canal stock have advanced far be.
yond all former experience, the mighty hosts of
contractors, naval aud military, have their
lous wages. The whole land has its veins In
jected, swelling and throbbing with unnatural
life; and In the full career of its Warlike pas
sion, all goes merry as q marriage bell. Was
is In human nature that this delirious fever pa
tient should subside all at once, before the
ninth day, into q cool, refreshing sleep, and
awaken whole and sound7 Neither 10 the con.

ted, because the longer and more vehement the
excitement, the more utter and proslrsting will
he the collapse. All that high wrought life ia
false, morbid aud hectic; It is not health, bul
mortal disease, and the patient must eitbsr die
of It, or else, after hard struggle and sbso-
lutte exhaustion, slowly recover, q eadder aut

needful that the war be fought out 10 the yer,

the Yankee nation. The longer they carry OF

the more impossible II will be that there shoull
