Once more Austria and Prussia are in
presence, and their difference, after baf-
aing all the efforts of we'll meaning me-
diators, is left to be settled by the shock
of half a million combatants. The conf
dence of Austria is mistaken. A battle
on the Danube may yet reverse the sent
ence pronounced by the battle on the
EIbe. Floridsdorf may avenge KONG
gratz. By a decisive trial Of strength, 1t
will be shown whether a dynasty which
has given the German people SO long a
series Of Sovereigns can hencctorth con-
sent to become a stranger IN Germany
All the ardour of the belligerents, how
ever, can hardly keep pace with the I'M
patience of the lookers-on. An encoun-

BILE it is imminent /; but 1t is not to-day,

''The Lord Hath Blinded Their Eyes,
THE Democratic Convention OF New York
have sacrificed General John A. Dix as the
candidate for Governor, and selected Hon.
John T. Hoffman, Mayor OF New York city,
as their candidate. We had great fears that
they would nominate the old veteran, but
thanks be TO Baal. VINO has so deceived them
as to induce them to take up Hoffman.
With him as an opponent we will have au
easy victory. Around Dix cluster all the
memories of long life of good services.
Hoffman has nothing to recommendation. He
is the head cf corrupt clique in New York
city, and out of the city he is the weakest
man that could have been put up. Governor
Fenton, with his clear record as State Execu-
tive. will have not the least trouble in knock
ing down this man of straw set up by the
conservatives. The Tribune thus speaks of
the selection this morning:-
'The Wholesale plunderers of our city have
achieved triumph worthy of their audacity
and their daring. BV surrounding, badgermg,
ullylng, and wheedllng the hybrid Conven-
ton, adJourning L. over against its overwheim-
ing vote, and threatening tina, General DX If
nominated, should get but twenty thousand
votes in tins city, they ,orced if, against its
better Judgment, tC nominate John L. Hoffman
for GOvernof. He is not the choice of the Con-
vention, but OF the tools and lacqueys OF Tweed,
Cornell, and Brennan, who were sent up IN
crow6S from the city to control the result, aud
did control IT, They ruled the party by threat
enng to ruin ii if not allow to have their way.
Mr. Hoffman is the respectable 6eure-head
| of our confederated municipal robbers. The
Ring want money; he wants power and dis
| tinctIon; the two wants tit into each otner like
cogs. If he is elected, the 'ring' will establish
| brarch at Albany, aud enlarge its operations
| indefinitely. All State Boards are to be abol-
ished-we shall have a police changed with
every election, the duties of the Health Board
| transferred to a Commlttee of Aldermen; and
| the reign OF unlimited stencil and pestIlence
| restored. But there is to be d day OF voting

rights of their people preserved) by letting in
the Representatives Of Tennessee Nothing
for those who we're admitted TO eeats in the
House we're generally Brownie " Republicans,
thus IN reality adding TO the strength Of the
radicals. For one, cannot well see how there
can be any advantage whatever in admitting
representatives from the Southern states while
the test oath, which excludes her best me-, from
Consrees, is IN force Here, then, in my opinion,
is the real issue.n
AT first we were I'D that the sole desire
OF the Democracy was to see the States lately
in rebellion recognized as States, and not
have their representatives excluded because
they were their representatives. If they were,
or had been traitors, let each House Judge OF
their qualifications, and have them excluded.
The great cry was only in favor of the admis-
sion of loyal men. But now we see the issue
more distinctly. The test oath is to be re-
moved, and the doors of legislation thrown
wide open to every Rebel. Congress Is to
cancel its right to exclude JEFF. Davis,
Stephens, Wade Hampton, or the lamented
Wurz lit he had not been murderedl, and
every man be admitted who receives major
ity OF the declared Rebel vote. The loyal
lists are to be excluded because they are
loyalists, and none who are "the enemies OF
the Confederate Government or "still
enemies of the Confederate people," are to be
allotted public positions.
We did not know that even Democratic
audacity would go so far as to talk to us
about the Confederate people "stilI existing"
but even this insult has been perpetrated, and
it is no longer a secret that TO Rebels only
do the conservatives desire to see the prizes
awarded. We are glad of such letter as
that Of Mr.. Harris 1t will compel our peo-
pie to thiuk. 1t is bis declared view that all
the leading Rebels should sit in our councils,
make our laws, and not one be excluded
because of his treason. "And in all say"
writes Mr.. Harris, II speak for the Demo-
Gratis certainly, and think for the conserva-
tives also" We accept the issue, and advise
all who desire the repeal of the "iron-clad
oath" to support the conservative ticket and
its candidates.

The "hOn-CIad Oath"-The Point at
Issue.
HON BENJAMIN G. HARRIS, of Maryland, has
always been noted for cOmmendable frankness,
If not loyalty, or much common sense. 1t was
his frankness which led him to say in the
House what all his coadjdtors thought-that
he would like to see the Rebellion success.
But, strange to say, disingenuous rs he was,
his merits we're not appreciated, and ne came
within some ten votes OF being expelled from
his seat in Congress. OF course that did him
no harm in the Democratic party, and as he
still holds position OF trust, and is still con-
sidered the champion Of his sect, his utter
ances cannot but deserve passing notice.
He has written letter to Colonel Billings
lear Tor Billingsgate) in which he again tears
aside the veil which his more willy
coadiutors have erected to disguise tue true
issue. and declares that the great cause OF

The tournaments of old were suitable
to the rude age in which they were in
fashion. Stalwart knights handled
ponderous lances and weighty broad
swords, and the fierce charges they
made upon each other, often ended as
fatally as a combat ON the battlefield.
These pastimes of the dark, feudal

puerile and contemplate counterfeits,
