We c,ip the following from the Washing

We clip the following from the Wasmng-
ton Chronicle, of the 18th inst:
.sThe New York Herald is not good at
Guessing the way the wind blows at Iutu.e
day. but when it does blow, that Journa,l Is
not slow in finding out its course IL nas
heretofore maintained that the o ae ~ ans
were to be beaten out OF slght TINS ial py
the Copperjohnson party DuS IL at leng.l
has discovered its mistake anu ho~ ",'niits
.Io+ GInn,er stands not the ghost of chance
ra;nst Cen Gearv in Pennsylvania ; and it
1e aiSonyere,I that the Irish Democracy in
49, be,ned to swell the great Republican
49,, in that State. The Herald is becom-
;no saoacious; and it will discover before long
that the Irish vote will do the business for
some people nearer home"
The Herald, of the 18th inst, comes out in
palmer terms, giving up all hopes of carry
inu the Northern States for the conservatives.
It says;
Whatever NAV have been the real causes,
however, operating to bring about the extra
ordinary results of this Maine election, 1t is
TOO decisive against the democracy and con-
servatiyes to be limited to Maine. We APP
prehend that, as in all our political contests
of the past of II national character, the result
in Maine indicates the general drlft OF the
elections coming after it throughout the
Northern States. The prospect now of a con-
sentative majority in the next Congress is
very doubtful the prospect of another radl-
cal Congress is better than it has appeared at
any time since December last In short this
Maine election of 1866 will probably marx
another new chapter in our political history
and perhaps another reorganization OF partles
and another reconstruction of party platforms
for the Presidential election, beginning with
the close of the coming elections OF October
and November"
We further clip from another article, in
the same paper, "a word of advice" to its
Southern friends. The Herald should have
talked this way all the while, and not have
pandered to the secession sentiment which
now predominates in the Southern States,and
has gathered strength and encouragement
from the North. Although the Herald meant
this article for the secession papers and their
readers, there is no hope of its being circu-
lated in such mediums, therefore we copy
it for their special benefit
"But we have word to say specially to
the old rebels of the South-a word OF eau
ton and warning that may do them good if
they will heed it. Should President john
sons humane policy to restore the South be
defeated by the radicals, these men may
blame themselves for it in great measure.
At New Orleans and Memphis they behaved
in a manner to provoke bitter feeling in the
North, and vindictive spirit of portion of
the Southern press arouses indignant opposi-
ton here We are aware that the best and
most sensible people of that section, and par
ticularly such men as Generals Lee and Joe
Johnston Alexander Stephens and Gov. Orr,
have no sympathy with these mischlevous
agitators; but the whole South Is held re-
sponsible for such conduct. The bad and vio-
lent rebels play into the hands of the radi-
calls and paralyze the efforts of the conserva
tives to bring restoration and peace to the
Southern States. We have warned them
from time to time of the consequences,
and we tell them now that unless they
pursue different course the sentiment
of the North will be aroused against
them. The passions of the war are not yet
cooled down, and they ought to remember
that they are conquered people and at the |
mercy of their conquerors. Resistance to |
the authority of the government or even to |
the will of the people of the North would be !
madness and utterly ru1nous, as they must i
know. They could gain nothing by that, |
and might lose all. Radical emissarles and /
enemies will provoke them to violent acts If
possible, as was the case at New orleans;
but that cannot excuse their own bad con- |
duct Their brutality at New Orleans is
having a serious effect at the North The |
only part left for them TO play i'll these times |
is to submit and wait patiently. They have
no voice in the question of restoration that |
is left to the North. The President, with |
the conservative masses of the North, desires |
to treat them in humane and magnanlmous |
spirit, as we'll as to restore them to their for |
mer political status but this will be una
vailing as long as they show a rebellious or
vindictive disposition. Their fate and the
future of their magnificent country hang in
nice and uncertain balance which their own
good or bad conduct may turn one way or
the ether'' /
