but even the Examiner knows by this
time that Grant Is not inactive. It must
have heard of the fall Of Fort Morgan-sur-
rendered by the maa who could net under
stand why Colonel Anderson surrendered Fort
Gaines; and 1t must also have heard that Early
did not 60 into Pennsylvania after that pearl,
but, on. the contrary, went exactly tie other
way. Every blow given at this time tells, and
1t Ii to be seen nowhere more plainly than in
those Southern papers. Let the government
reinforce Grant, and urge on the great contest
now. Everywhere the struggle goes on we'll
for us and speedy reinforcement will close
up the great issue on the James. That Ia now
more than ever the important point Lee can
not aght many more battles for the Weldon
road; but he has called home Early 10 muster
his whole force for one great one. Strengthen
Grant properly for that great, inevitable bat

THE TAMMANY DEMOCRACY TUE ONLY DEMoo
RAoY IN THE CiTY.-The recent action Of Tam
many Hall in favor Of General Mcclellan, wLo
for the Presidency, is . move in the right drec-
ton. II followed up the Tammany democracy
vii! retain the ascendanoy In the city and
State, and If they have courage and capacity
now is the time to show them. There is no
doubt, whoever may be elected President, Nc
Clellan will carry the city of New York by at
least thirty thousand majority. Now, then let
the Tammany democracy display their courage
and consistency by coming out and severing
their connection with the factions that have
caused the democracy to grovel in the dirt for
six or seven years past. Let them cut adrift
from all bargaining and corrupt factions. Let
them say to Fernando Wood, who, with his
Mozart crew. commenced the abominable sys-
tenn Of bargaining away Offices and levying a
cruel and slavish tax upon the recipients of
pubic situations, that they wash their hands Of
the filth and the foul contamination OF for
mer factional affiliations Let them say the
| Same TO John M Keon and bis "a
ton, and to all the cifshoo,s FROM
these bargaining bodies. Let old TaInmany
stand once more before the people in the light
OF true and patriotic political organization,
purified by the fiery ordeal Of many years Of
tribuation under corrup! rulers, and her
records of former victories will bear no com.
parison to the brilliant triumphs yet in store
for her.
Tammany can now call upon the democracy
of New York to rally under her old, time
boDored banners. She has spoken for McClel-
Ian, who Is bound to carry tho city by vast
majority. She has, therefore, the power to send
a delegation to Congress of her own selection
which will redeem the city from the humiliation
and disgrace the present delegation bave in
hicted upon her. Every consideration bearing
upon the cisy's good; the interests OF her tax
paying citizens; the welfare Of her .oiliDg thou
sands; her separation from swindling and lob
bling scbemers and beggaTly party combna-
tions; Der influence in Congress in making laws
affecting her local prosperity; her position as
the commercial and maritime centre Of the con-
tinent; in short her standing as the metropolis
Of the nation, and the power she should wieid
IS such in the discussion and settlement Of all
great national questions, demand total change
ia her Congressional delegation. The Tsmmany
democracy have the power to do this. They
are the only democracy Of the city, and all good
citizens will work shoulder to shoulder with
them in efecting this great reformation Now
is the time for Tammany to show her pluck, and
to demonstrate reviviled and purified, her
once tremendous political strength. VIII she
do t2 We shall soon see.
