Southern friends, while taking launt@
through their country, that the success
of the Democracy in Ohio, depended
much upon the success of the rebels IN
holding Vicksburg. If the Mississippi
rebels could prevent Grant from taking
Vicksburg, he was confident the Ohio
rebels would take Ohio This of course
stimulated the rebels to the most extra
ordinary efforts to save their strong
hold, but Grant was too much for them.
Vicksburg fell, and as Vallandigham.
predicted, a reaction at once set IN
against the Democracy, and they have
not.carred single election since. The
rebels also realize how terrible was that
mishap to their Northern allies, and their
papers are now urging Lee to advance
on Pennsylvania, for the purpose of
strengthening the Democracy. We copy
on our first page the suggestions and
exhortations of the Richmond papers, on
this point. They know that something's
got to be done They have only two
sources from which to look for aid-Eu

as far off as ever, and unless something
is done, their Copperhead friends in the
loyal States bid fair to be ANONYMOUSLY
defeated Hence they urge the immedi-
ate advance of Lees army upon Mary
land and Pennsylvania, for the purpose
of cooperating with the Democratic party
in the elections.
Says the Richmond Enquirer, which is
regarded as Davis's organ:
A fall campaign into Pennsylvania,

not for indiscriminate plunder-demoral-
izing and undisciplining the army-but
campaign for a systematic and organ

Congress, strengthening the Democrats,
and modifying even to the hard shell of
fanaticism itself
1t was for similar reason, doubtless,
that Morgan invaded Indiana and Ohio
to strengthen the Democrats. He seems

Government now than before the raid.
and had Morgan been successful in
making his escape, their virulenee, we
are confident, would be still more maliO-

We think with heEnquirer, Lee ought
by all means to move on Meade. Its
reasons are unanswerable. 1t saws:
Parties in the United States are so
nearly balanced that the least advantage
thrown IN favor of one will insure its sue
cess Should the Confederate army re-
main quiescent on the banks of the RAN
pahannock, the boastful braggadocia of
Yankee reports will be confirmed. and
Lincoln and Halleck will poiut in tri-
1mph to tue crippled condition of the
Confederate army, as confirmation of the
great victory won in Pennsylvania. The
Democrats, unable to gainsay such evil

contest for the Speakership shorn of the
principle part of their strength-the dis
graceful management and conduct ofthe
war.
We are satisfied, too, that if Lee drives
Meade into Washington, "he will again
raise the spirits of the Democrats, con-
firm their timid and give confidence to
their wavering" There is no question
but that such success twill embolden
the peace party and induce them to
make extra exertions to gain control of
the Government.
These articles from the Richmond ma
pers, of which we speak, show that they
thoroughly comprehend the attitude of
parties in the Northern States. We only
regret that all of our own people do not
as clearly understand the position of at.
fairs Thousands of honest men are de-
luded into the support of the Democratic
party solely because it goes BY that name.
They are all unmindfill of the influence

tiny of the country, and the effect they
viii have in frightening or shortening
the war
