The New York Ssslb paper which, though SIS
Stunning TO be neutral is decidedly inclined to the
Democracy has the following severe thrust in refer
enco to that party:
"During Che last decade, the Democratic party
has been nothing but clog upon the wheels of ma
tonal advancement. 1t has been in the hands of q
class Of men who either could not appreciate or
would not recognize the fact that politics and avery
thing else have undergone great changes within the
last half century. At this time the Democratic
leaders opposed the new plan of reconstruction
upon the same ground that they opposed coercion
OF the Southern States at the beginning Of the re-
beilion-that it conflicts with the doctrine of ex-
IRENE State Rights. Clinging to that Anticipated
iiea these leaders have dragged the party down TO
It's present level and unless they now abandon it,
or unless the mass Of the party abandon them, which
would be much better, the final scene in the Demo-
cratic tableau viii not long be delayed.
The people are determined 10 settle the reconstruo-
ton question in such way that i viii stay settled
and Che Democratic party is committing political
suicide when 1t interposes the State Rights alacles
70 prevent such settlement"
IN mother article it gives the Democracy some
good advice, aud some friendlv admonit;ons. which
we commend to tn ei. attent;on

There, that tells the tale. While nine thousand
Republicans absented themselves, from the polls
only seven thousand six hundred Copperheads de-
clined to vote The former beat the latter in apath
and carelessness. The organization of the Repub-
lcans was little more wretched than that Of their
opponents. The Copperhead candidates were rich
men who spent their money freely in hiring whip
persin to send wagons after the laggard voters and
bringing them TO the polls, while the Republican
candidates had less money TO spend, and conse-
quenty carted fewer of their supporters to the
ting booths. With majority of four hfths in Con-
gress it was hard TO convince the Republican voters
that it made any essential odds to the country
whether there were two more or ten less Republic
cans elected to the House of Representative Long
success made them careless and Indifferent. The
Republican vote of last year exceeds that nov cast
by the Copperheads by $500 proving that sweep
desired to win it, They will turn out next year and
recover back the State. III 0

General Grant on the Situation.

Hon. r. W. Clark, in recent letter to the Gle
mont Courier makes the following statement in re-
lation 10 Gen. Grant;
aGeneral Grant told Governor Orr, Of South Car
olips, day or two since, that the South has COM
mtted great blunder in its alliance with the dead
corps Of the Democratic party, which had made il
sef odious with the loyal people of the country.
BY tg sympathy with the rebellion, as the rebels
themselves. He further told the Governor that he
was hanging upon the skirts of the President, ex-
peetng 70 secure relief through his efforts and in
1ueace. Whea It was evident 70 the world that the
frezldess has as much on bis shoulders of his own
csras, IS ne could stand up under and no power to
aio tsa South. There was one party where aid was
70 De mad, and that was at the hands Of the Radi-
Gals OF Congressthe men of life, Of growth and of
power and that sooner or latter there he must 60
and from the Radicals they must seek al that is
atainable that tEey have the least reason to hope
for, and that the sooner they change their pro-
g-amme, the they would be restored, and the
better the terms of restoration. Good advice that
from General Grant, and it is every word true, for
do not repeat it second banded

the outbreak of the struggle, expressed this
sentiment when he said that, as the Cline Of
division has to be drawn, the people of South
ern Pennsylvania want it to fall north of our
State." Mr.. Glossbrenner, for his able and
truthful representation of the people of the
border counties, was honored by rejection.
We ask the Star and Sentinel how IL can ex-
plain this fact2 Will IL also show us how the
quotas of these counties were raised and how
often the draft was necessarily resorted to
Will our contemporary deny that the State
was saved by regiments not raised in the bor-
der counties The Star says:-
"All was alarm and activity and labor
Meanwhile, the armies-met on these hills and
ne Rebels. giving way, sought refuge behind
its laboIs. IL was safe; and its salvation was
wrought out here by b ave men"
" here did the "brave men" come from
Not from their neiphborhood, but from other
States and our own city. The farmers were
all neutral, and professed to sympathize with
the Rebels. The battle was indeed fought
there and then-not by those ,oho nOw claim
recompense, but by those who did what the
citizens of the border counties were too fear
full or to untrue to do; and thus our city was
saved. The more we look at their claims, the
more are we confirmed in our expressed Opt
Mon. 1t may be that few good men will be
losers by the refusal, but as there can be no
discrimination, we cannot see how we can
separate the wheat from the chaff. They do
not demand a cent on the claim of loyalty, or
bravery, or lberality, and with our consent
not dollar shall they have. And in urging
this we speak in no spirit of passionate pros
cription."
In conclusion, the Star and Sentinel calls on
us to ''recall our unjust criticism on the first
statesman of this generation, to whose enlght-
ened sagacity and indomitable purpose and
unfinching frmness the nation is infinitely
indebted" We have nothing to recall. We
made no ''unjust criticism" For Mr.. Stevens
we have ever had the highest respect. In the
article complained of, we said that 'Mr. Ste
vens is statesman of great force of character
and undoubted patriotism" We give him all
the praise our contemporary metes out. He
is able, patriotic, and honest; yet we do not
ON this account surrender our privilege sof
individual opinion to his dictation. With all
his great powers, we think Mr.. Stevens is seek
ing to lead the Republican party into posi-
tion where it does not design to go. 1t is not
in favor of confscation, nor does it sympa-
thize with that spirit of bitter hatred of the
South which Mr.. Stevens has ever evinced. If
his advice was to be followed, the party would
be ruined. We require policy, not headlong
ferocity. And it is in order to secure our
power, and in order that we may do good to
all, that, while granting all the virtues attri-
buted to the venerable statesman, we deem
his course of conduct inexp pedient, and if pur-
sued will end in the reinstatement of the De-
mocracy in power.

Why Nor REPORT The Committee on Law,
of Common Council, at their meeting few
days since, agreed to report adversely to the
legality of the election of Frederick A. Van
Cleve to the position of Assistant City Soil
ctor. We would like to know why that
report was not presented on Thursday. Can it
be that the Chairman, out of personal sym
pathy for Van Cleve, has neglected TO do his
dutyH We hope, for his good name, that he
has not. One who abets wrong-d -doer is an
accessory, and to be considered as in league
and Gin the same boat" In a legal point of
view, we are convinced that Mr. Van Cleve
has no right whatever to his ill-gotten post
As he has not sufficient self-respect to resign
he must be forcibly elected. We have a right
TO demand a report from the Committee on
Law, and unless it is presented at the next
meeting we shall deem the Committee dere-
lict, and seek the reason for the unnecessary
delay. Having once adopted a report, the
chairman has no option in its presentation or
withdrawal.
