The Future Of the Democracy

There is kind Of defeat between which and
victory the space is so limited that moral
advantage remains with the vanquished The
American colonists were defeated at Bunker
Hill. They were forced from their position
and we're compelled to retreat before the nd.
vancing foe. But from the field of their dis
comfture they bore away the evidences OF
their ability TO cope with the disciplined lie
Qions Of King George, and the result of that
memorable day gave them, perhaps, the fair.
est promise of ultimate snccess.
On the 9th of November the Democracy
fought and lost their Bunker Hill The po.
litca discipline Of their antagonists, the
boundless resources for corruption and in.
timidation, tho unparalleled advantages pos
sessed ia the control of the enormous patron
age at the disposal of party carrying on the
most costly war that ever burdened n people,
occasioned Democratic defeat Bnt, in de.
spite Of the great odds in their favor, the vic
tors barely elected their candidate.
The Democratic vote was large enough,
under ordinary circumstances, to have won
the day and although almost every State has
been carried by the Aholitonists we believe
that the returns will show, ont of an unprece.
dented vote OF five millions, numerical Aho.
lition superiority Of less than three hundred
thousand in the entire cAnvAsa This then,
ia a defeat that treRds close upon the verge
Of victory. The Abolitionisis themselves
seem TO be staggered by the close nature of
the contest and observe a marked reserve in
their demonstrations Of rejoicing They owl

The Aississippion, a paper formerly

Of the rebel Congress. aud still the organ
of very large public sentiment in tho
South, very sagaciously says that tho
war will go on until the people OF both

are willing to meet each other on the great
halfway ground Of mutual compromise.
cancellation aud concession" The events
Of the last four years have demonstrated
the truth Of this remark. These years ct
the most sSnguinary and ruthless war on
record, have brought us, 10 all appearance
no nearer the end. than we were when the
first gun was fired in the first battle. The
AisSissippian goes on with suggestions
whose truth would be quite manifest to
every one. if il were not for the paroXysm
Of passion which now units the public
mind for the due exercise of rational
judgment, 1t says
III the South, by any possibility Of over

THE New York Tribune, admits its be-
lief that the great mass of the American
people. irrespective of party, desire the
restoration and acknowledgment of the
national authority throughout the whole
area of the Republic, II the Republican
papers and speakers had talked in this
wise during the last three years, what an
amount of bitterness, prescription, and
calamity would it not have averted from
the Northern people We hope that for
the future the leading Republicans propose
to treat the minority, not as outlaws whom
it is proper to trample out of existence,
but us American citizens, entitled TO the
rights and immunities belonging to free
people.

A ToADYING JENKINS AND THE Re-

day, put in the columns Of Republican
paper the following:
SUPERB SHAwL.-Stewart, the cleebra'
ted importer of dry goods, has now in his
store a magnificent shawl, importer by
him at a cost of three thousand dollars,
expressly for Miss Kate Chase, daughter
ofthe Hon. s. P. Chase, our distinguish.
ed secretary of the Treasury. 1t is said
that the young lady's whole outfit in all
respects corresponds with this costly ar
ticle of dress.
The day after this appeared, twas cop
led into Democratic paper, accompanied
with the following crushing comment:

ministration pretended the war was for

monthly wages regularly, yet for over
seven long months he never received dol
lar. During these long months Of dreary
Winter, while Mr.. Chase got rich enough
to buy three thousand dollar shawl, | ,
at the washing tub Of my Republican
neighbors, managed to earn bare subSis-
tence for myself and the helpless family
of the neglected and starved Democratic
soldier.

SEVERE on SOUTHERN SoLDIERs.-We
take the following singing remarks on
the cowardice of Southern soldiers from
the Sotckton independence
Ii is related that short time since some tTo
hundred packmules, near Gen Hookers lines,
broke loose and charged furiouslv across the
fields towards where Georgia regiment was
stationed. Thinking it was cavalry, or some
thing else, the regiment broke in confusion
and ran, leaving one thousand Enfield rifles of
the best description behind them, which Gen.
Hooker has to show in proof of the incident
Thus the chIvalry, who of yore boasted that
they could whip three TO one, turn tail and
run from regiment Of jackasses."
That is a crusher, and proves that the
Southern soldier are arrant towards. -
Strange, isn't it ?--that these men, who
"run from regiment of jackasSes," run
Roscncrans into Chattanooga and Hooker
from Chancellorville. IL they are such
towards, what must the soldiers be whom
they whipped?

DEEAULTER.-G. R. Warren, our late
loyal State Controller, is defauIter, and
has sloped. He left on Mondays steam
er, and Immediately after it was discovered
that he had stolen from the State twelve
thousand dollars. OF course his deialca.
tion was discovered weeks ago, but it
wouldn't do to arrest loyal official for
sWindling. It would set bad example and
reflect upon the conduct of the "Wash.
ington authorities" who reward their
friends for defrauding the Government

FEsrvAL.-The Festival given by the ladies

With exquisite taste, decorated the Pavilion
splendidly, and spread q table which bent be-
meath the good things upon it. The singing
was charming; the tableaux exquisitely pre-
sented, and the whole entertainment delightful
Pleasantly. swiftly sped the hours, for
Softly falls the foot Of time
That only tTeadS on flowers"
The object for which the festival was given is a
noble one, and we are gratifed in being able to
state that the sum realized has exceeded the
expectations Of the ladies'. The appeal in be-
half Of the sick and wounded went to the
hearts and lightened the pockets of our gene
Fous people.
