The TRADE Of George N. Sahders, in which
he congrstdlates the .,'triunphapt .revoir-
tionary party of New York" upon tbe resujt
OF the recent election in that State. In The
letter dated December oath, 1862, must not
be understood % the insane tayinrs Of 4
banislied politician, who, for the last Rfteep
years. has been the turbyilsnf organ and al.
vocato Of every snarchical and aaarUssivs
scheme looking either to the sxten,iou ~
slavery or to the destruction of the settleS
peace OF the Union. Thore Is certain mS-
thod IN this Sanders madness. Stripped Of
its obscenity, falsehood, and calun,ny, kis
phrensisd rhetoric contains one .thousht
which proves that no not only understands
tue real purposes OF tho do,nagosues who
are arrayed against the Adninistrstion and
the war, but that he believes that tbe tims
is coming when this purpose will be sousht
to be carried into practical effect. I sjlSde

when the fact stands out too palpable tedesy
that the same idea has found a lodxment in
the brains Of the same class of politicians in
other States, We may well pause before the
new and atrocious crime now formally added
to the ritual of the sympathizsrs with Seces-
SION. The capitalists and business men Of
the country; the farmers and mechanics who
have been voting the Democratic ticket un-
der the impression that that was the best
way to bring the Administration to what
they conceived to be the right course, and
who have allowed themselves to be terrified
by the scandalous falsehoods that the object
OF the war Was not to save and reunite the
country, but to sever and disunite il, will
now be compelled to confess that, in pro-
portion as they have encouraged and

of private and domestic interests, and q

excused their partisanship upon, the absurd
ground just above stated What will they
think when they see, not simply in the
appeal of George Sanders, but in nearly oil

OF the Democratic leaders, that their sup
port of these leaders il now construed into
an endorsement of such system of national
and individual reputation as the world has
never seen? fa,aa OoCAsIONAL.
