have already missed the opportunity Of recover
ing compensation for the loss of their slaves,
and the Delawarians have to make haste
they are not to be surprised by similar turn
of affairs in their little State. The Stats
Zeitung quotes the article of The Louisville
Journal, and remarks approyingy that this
formerly pro.Slavcry organ" has adopted its
own oitcn-expressed opinion that "the slave
holders, to save themselves from loss, ought to
have taken an active part in the anti-Slavery
movement; or in States where tits not already
too late, as in Missouri, ought to do this now
without further delay"
The Stats Zeiiung is paper of good standing
in the ranks Of the orthodox Democracy which
elected its editor delegate to the Chicago Con-
yention, and nominated him for Presidential
Elector If papers like it and The Lonisr'Aa
Journal lead the way, we may expect that many
Others will follow.
We hail the change in the language of these
papers as a cheering sign of the times, although
we regret to add that thus far the conversion il
intellectual merely, and not moral. They aban-
don Slavery only because its defense is hopeless.
while they still maintain the inferiority Of the
NEGRO.

DER CHATTER ELECTION.

We regret that there is any other organization
in the field for next Tuesday, Election but the
Citizens Reform Association. yet we would
have 10 man vote blindy for the can
didatcs OF any organization whatever.
On the contrary, We urge every elector
to mako diligcnt personal inquiry as to
the character of each candidate presented for bis
suffrage, and vote for none who is unworthy or
incopablc, on whatsoever ticket his name may
be found. You can help no good party, no good
cause, by voting the rascals and ninnies who adj
here to it into responsible positions. On the
contrary, if the choice in any case lies between
two rogues or FOOLS though you should vote for
neither, you should wish the worse party in his
case TO succeed. 1t is bad enough TO have vii
lains or noodles in office; to have good cause
exposed to reproach by their misdoings is a sore
aggravaiion OF the calamity.
Tic nominations of tho Citizens Associations
do not in all cases justify our hopes. We trust
that the nominees are all, or nearly all, honest
men; but many Of them are not so widely
known as we could wish. 1t will be Of little
use for such men as William b. Astor James
Brown, George Griswod, John c. Green, &c,
to combine for the reformation Of our City Gov
eminent, ii they refuse to serve in Municipal
stations such AZ the Board of Councilmen,
whereof the duties may DO well discharged
by one hours faithful service each day.
This class OF men will have to reconcile
themselves to the acceptance Of Munich.
pal trusts, or the Reform movement
will end in abortion and failure. This
point must be looked to in our next Charter
nominations: meantime, let US make the very
best OF our present opportunity-not by bl;ndly
supporting every candidate presented as a re.
former, but by voting ourselves, and urging every
neighbor and friend TO vote for tho Reform
tickets generally, and for the best man at al
events.

previous nomination as Unionist. We trust
this hesitation may vanish: at all events we
beg the reformers to give him a united and
vigorous suppor,. They may safely trust him,
and he has already deserved every vote they
can give him. We wish he had been first nom
mated by them; but good man mus not be
lost on a punct;lio. We should say the same

The New York 7'ij,o.- substantially
charges tho Baltimore Convention with
giving laid and comfort to the rebels in
nominating Lincoln: by saying:
We cannot but feel that it would have
been wiser and safer to spike the most
serviceable guns of our adversar!es by nom
mating another for President, and thus
dispelling all motive but that OF naked
disleyaity, for future warfare upon this
administration We believe that the re-
beliion would have lost something Of its
cohesion and venom from the hour in
which it was known that Rev President
would surely be iHaugurated on the 4th OF
March next
Of course nothing aids the rebellion
more than to increase It's cohesion and
venom" In truth, this has been the ten-
dency of all the leading acts Of this ad-
ministration. But for Old Abes assistance,
jeff Davis has himself confessed, the re-
bellien would have lost its cohesion" and
fallen - pieces long ago. Wendell Phil
lips never uttered q greater truth than
when he said JEFF PAWS made revolt.

Mr.. EpIToR-That war corrupts and
demoralizes society, throughout the whole
country in which It RACES, will hardly be
denied by any observer of the times. This
proposition is fully demonstrated by the
numerous riots, street fights, lawlesss ass
saults and other disorderly acts which
daily meet our eyes and ears. " ere fur
.her proof needed, ] would cite case
which occurred in our quiet little city one
day last week; VIZ: An old man, near
seventy, and a hale, athletic dry goods
merchant, aged about thirty or thirty :
five, got into conversation on one of our
side walks, during which the following
colloquy ensued
Merchant l am ready to fight, and can
whip any man who upho!ds old - or
his principles, by Cd.
Old man. Sir, support both so, pitch
in.
lHcr If you were not an old man, d-m
you, Id knock you down.

upholds old -.

your weapons, time, and place.
Happily the coiloquy ended here, with>
out the shedding of blood Now, Mr.
Editor, both this old man and this belig~
erent merchant are, in times OF peace, Ia &
meekest, most quiet and unoffenu.Eg "
mortal men; and would DE the last TO
raise an hostile hand against an uneffen.i~
ing fellow citizen. All the clustering and
braggadecio manifested by them on this
occasion was only the effect wrought up
on them by the present universally de
moralIzing civil war. In extenuation Of
their offence, allow me to say, they must
have been more than men to Withstand
such temptation to fight. IN justics to all
parties, let me also give the true reason
why they did not she'd blood. 1t Is this {:
one was too old and feeble; the other tso

in taking Richmond before that day, then
VS. thiak good policy would demand his

calling a grand ratification meeting at
