fesseI neutrality anu NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
IN the presidential campaign just closed,
saws we may now classify the demo
cratic party of 1864 with the OLD, dead
and buried viii. party Of 1852. The
issue Of "a cessation of hosti'ities, nr
the purpose OF opening negotiations
with jeff. Davis for peace, and that other
issue, adopted at Chicago,o t conven'
ton of all the States, are among the ,
dead issues of the past--such az the MIS-
souri, compromise and the question oil
slavery In the Territories, And the Her
aid continues;
There il no further use as matters
now stand for the democratic party as
g. reyamped and half soled at Chicago
That pair OF shoes are worn out. The
loval States have decreed that the armies
OF jeff Davis shall be pursued till utter
ly routed, dispersed and disbanded that
there shall be no peace but that of the
submission of the rebellious States to
the supreme authority of the Union
The administration, therefore, in the
contamination of these objects, should
be supported by all parties; for until
these things shall have been settled they
will continue the all-absorbing qucs-
tons before the country.
In another article the Herald says;
1.-THE presidential struggle is over, and
Abraham Lincoln is elected for another
term. This result was so generally an
ticipated that 1t will create Very litt,e
surprise. Some of the DER credulous
readers of the New ork World and the
Albany Alas and Argus may be disap-
pointed, but the knowing ones among
the Democracy knew all the time that
vain boastings and foolish promises
would not carry the election"
The Herald goes on to say that Nc
Clellan "has fallen victim to the cop
perhead managers of the Chicago Con-
vention." 1t enjoins peace and harmony
In our counsels now that the election
IS over, says there need be no more quar-
rel about slavery since the South itself
Is proposing to abolish 1t, declares that
all loyal men should now concentrate
their efforts upon the work Of crushing
the rebellion, aud ir this is done we may
soon achieve a glorious peace. Then,
the Herald insists we ought to cali
England to account, haul France over
the Goals, and enforce the Monroe doc
trine.

work of subluing rebellion, while restor

the country is, that before Mr.. Lincoln
