The Spirit OF the Democracy

1t is gratifying to witness the unyield-
ing spirit and unAinching determination
OF the Ohio Democracy, even under defeat
True, there is nothing really in the result
of the election to dishearten, for we have
maintained unbroken our organization,
and under the most trying and adverse
circumstances, polled the full strength Of
the party. The men who voted for VAL
LANDIGHAM and PUGH on the 18th of Oc-
tober, did so on principle, and from con-
victions of right and nothing can move
them from their position. We know no
Democrat who is not now even more firm
and determined in his adherence to the prin-
ciples of the party than ever before. They
have an abiding faith in the final triumph
of Constitutional Democracy. This is as
certain as that the sun will rise to-mo:-
row. A little more war, bloodshed, con-
scription and taxation, and the people
will come TO their senses. When the So
Der, second thought reveals to them the
impending ruin that must surely come
upon the country if the present corrupt
and imbecile party is kept in power, they
will fly with outstretched arms to the old
Democratic party for safety. 1t has been
so in the past so it will be in the future.
When that times comes, as it surely will,
and that right speedily, the power of the
Administration, its money and its threats
will be insufficient to restrain or Geter the
people from voting them out Of power as
corrupt and unworthy servants. But
few months, and the Presidential cam
paign will be opened. ABRAHAM LINCOLN
is especially rejoiced at the result of the
late elections, because he looks upon it as
an Endorsement of all his acts, and as
true indication that he will be his own sue
cessor in the Presidential chair. He will
awaken from his dream of succession to a
more doubtful contest than he now, in the
fullness of his rejoicing, can be brought to
imagine. A great many changes viii be
wrought in the public mind before the next
Presidential election, and ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN, with such fattering prospects of
reelection, as he at present imagines,
may, and probably will be the worst de-
feated candidate that ever ran for that dis
tinguished position. The Democracy
have only to stand firm, present bold
front, and await the issue. This, we have
every reason to believe. they will do, The
Democratic party is destined to save the
liberties of the people, if they are saved at
all. Its page of glory and usefulness is
not yet full The memory and spirit OF
JEFFERSON and JACKSON still animate
their followers to persevere in the struggle
for the preservation of Constitutional Lib

ES-The Abolition papers claims that
the election of BRoUeH is an nequivocal
and emphatic endorsement of every act of
the Administration an endorsement of
emancipation, ,conscription. arbitrary and
illegal arrests and Imprisonment, the
wholesale swindling and startling corrup-
ton of the Administration favorites, and
in short everything this Administration has
been guilty of since its advent to power.
And some of them go SO far as to declare
that the further the Administration goes
in its persecution of men for opinions sake
the better it will be liked by the men who
have voted their approval of all its past
acts. And this, in once free America

ES-The Cincinnati Gazette speaking Of
the election says "the returns thus far re-
ceiyed, show that the rank and file of the
Democratic party have retained their or
ganization." This is verify true. The
full Democratic strength was polled for
Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM, and defeat was not
owing to any detection in the ranks of the
party. He was beaten by migratory
vote that had not heretofore been polled in
this State.

The marked Indifference with which his

him as the regular candidate, could not be

his utter rout. With these facts so patent

Grant will lind Mobile well fortified when
he reaches there, if he ever does. The city
is stripping for the impending conflict at her
gates. Gen. Maury has issued the following
address to the citizens -
HEADQUARTERS DEP'NT OF THE GULF,
MOBILE, ALA. July s, 1868
To the citizens Of Mobile and ricinity:
The calamity which has betailen our arms
at Vicksburg has peculiar significance for
you. Mobile may be attacked within a very
shsrt time, and we must make every prcpara-
ton for its successful defence. All able-bod-
led men within the limits of the city and coun-
ty must at once organize into companies, and
report for duty in defence of this position
Owners of able-bodied slaves are urged to
send them Immediately to work on the forti-
ticatlonS. Brig. Gen. Slaughter will receive
the reports Of the companies which may be
organized, have arms issued to such as have
none. give orders for their instruction, and
assign them to their stations. Reports of
slaves for labor on the defences may be made

engagements for their good treatment while in
his employ. DABNEY II. MAURY, Mai. Gen.

condition of the country is not desperate, yet
the late losses in battle, and the heavy draft
made by the United States for recruiting its
own depleted army, render corresponding
addition to the confederate forces indspensa-
be But the government would do a wiser
and better thing if it would keep its soldiers
after the law gave them. SO long as that
worst of crimes, desertion, passes unpublished
with death, and is treated as ''abscnce with
out leave" it is useless to extend c0nscrip-
tons, or to have conscrptions at all. If all
the men who have been duly enrolled in the
army, and who are now alive and well, were
now in their place. Lee would not have to re-
treat from Pennsylvania, nor would Vicks-
burg have fallen. The experience of ages has
proven that there is but one remedy for this
common military disease. Until it is applied
here, the CONSUMPTION law will have but half
its value.
GEN. LEES RETREAT.
From the Richmond Examiner July H.
General Lee has re-crossed the Potomac.
With this announcement, it is supposed, the
second invasion of the United States is at an
end. The government and its chief general
undertook this campaign upon their own re-
sponSibility, and at their own time. Public
opinion did not impel their action. Butpuhlic
opinion did most certainly justify, approve
and adopt it. Although it has been abruptly
terminated by an unsuccessful battle, we are
far from thinking that the design was injudi-
ciouS. This war can be terminated only by
such measure. 1t might have been glorious
ly terminated in a month if Gettysburg had
witnessed the humiliation of the Union army
of the Potomac. But that battle was fought
in position thai rendered success impossible.
Why it was fought is yet unknown. Many
persons now blame Gen. Lee for attacking the
enemy there; but we shall be slow to criticise
an officer of his service and capacity until the
facts are better known.
But this campaign is not without gains
which compensate the sacrifices made. 1t
has replenished the confederate service with
teams, wagons, provisions. 1t has made the
enemy acquainted with the terrors, if not the
horrors, Of war. 1t has filled the north with
a sense of insecurity which cannot fail to sug-
gest different opinion of the power of the
contederacy, and better notion of the advan-
tages OF peace. The confederacy has lost
several thousand able officers and brave sol
diers; but war cannot be made without such
losses. The enemy have lost more, and the
comparative strength of the parties is un-
changed We are thrown on the defensive;
but since we have no longer to maintain the
outpoSts of Mississippi and Tennessee, the
work of defence can be accomplished with
greater ease and certainty than before. The
contederacy can defend itself for ever if nee
essary. In that species OF warfare, the party
that will hold out longest is the party that
wins. Every chance is in its favor. The
south will be that party, for it cannot yield.
TO yield Is to lose all that its citizens have on
this Garth

EXTRAORDINARY SPECIALIZATION Sunday,

first instance of a colored minister ever be-

infant baptism in North Carolina. The scene
was unusually impressive and affecting, as
the thronging multitudes present could testi-

none of the numerous little ones whom he

the children was named Stanley, not for the
