defeated by a seoond-rate obscure politician il
put on popular platform. The Chase faction
however, believe in the discipline of the Re-
publican party, and that, with his negro DO
litical system in the South, and with his fnan-
cial system, including his legion Of national
banks in the North and his bondholders, he
has the machinery for holding the Republican
elements together. And so the Chase Republi-
cans are as anxious as the Seymour Demo-
Gratis OF New York, or the Pendleton Demo-
Gratis OF Ohio, to shelve General Grant.
The Chase managers and bankers of the
New York Republican camp are working like
beavers to reverse, in our November election,
the tremendous October verdict of Ohio
against Chase and his universal panacea Of
universal and immediate negro suffrage. They
hold that Mr. Chase is not responsible for
their Ohio disaster and that Mr. Pendleton's
convenient proposition for paying off the ma
tional bondholders in greenbacks had much to
do with the increase Of the Democratic vote in
Ohio. But the approaching election in New
York will sbe conclusive one way or the other,
on this Chase platform of universal negro
suffrage and Southern negro supremacy. The
conservative Grant Republicans, therefore, can
settle the question ON Tuesday next in favor
OF their candidate, by simply letting the
Chase men fight out the battle for themselves;
for, while the loss of New York to the Repub-
lcans, after all their other losses this fall will
ledNe lneu no alternative put General UranJ,
it is altogether probable that if they save New
York, the result will turn the scale in favor of
Chase.
Give them New York, and then, as Mr..
Chase and his engineers have possession of the
Republican machinery, we apprehend that
General Grant will be shelved we guess that,
satisfied with his present desirable position,
he will consent to stand aside in favor of
Chase; and if so, we may between Chase and
Seymour, or Chase and PendletOn, prepare for
one of the most exciting, sharply contested,
and uncertain Presidential campaigns since
that of lS44 between Clay and Polk.

even carry its sway across the Mississippi:
and as for nation welding a concentrated.
central power over all its parts, exercising
unTestraned and absolute authority over al
the states which created and were to maintain
It's eXistence-the idea, if it had been sug-
gested even as possibility, would have been
secuted as absurd, or would have utterly
thwarted all hope Of forming a Federal Union
at all.
1t seems incredible that man so familiar
with the facts of our history as Mr. Stevens
ought to be, should venture to put such asser-
tions as these before the world. He cannot
believe them to be true in any historic sense,
DE may think that the fathers of the republic
ought to have held these opinions to be con-
sistent, and that, therefore, they probably did.
But this gives him no show of warrant for as
serting that these Uere their views, and for
thus pressing the authority of their great
names into their support. Such a course of
argument is not merely unfair it is dishon est.
Mr.. Stevens might as we'll falsify the dates
and events OF history, to suit his purpose, as
to talsify the opinions and principles Of its
public men.
Mr.. Stevens thus finds no shadow of support,
IN the opinions and views of the fathers, for
his doctrine that the elective franchise ranks
among the "inalienable rights" which were
proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence
as belonging to every human being, and of
Wnlcn no human being could be deprived by
any law, compact, or constitution whatever.
Such doctrine would have been secuted with
contempt by every one of the men to whom we
are indebted for our independence and our
frame of government. That it is also at
variance with every principle of the Constitu-
tion, and at war with any form whatever of
safe and stable government, it will be very
easy to show; but we have already exhausted
our space.
Mr., Stevens nrnceeds in bis Iattar 70 ,,roo
that this 'inalienable right" of universal snf-
frage was suspended by the Constitution of the
United States, but that this suspension has
been now removed by the fourteenth amend
ment to that instrument, and that now the
whole framework Of the Government must be
reconstructed on that basis. We shall refer
TO this branch of the subject hereafter.

The Herald says:-
mo sensible person proposes we suppose to
issue two thousand millions of Government
money and pay Off the debt at once with that"
Yes; George II. Pendleton does propose
Just that. Henry Clay Dean proposes it.
Vallandigham proposes it. Every Western
Copperhead of any account proposes it. Aud
you are deceiving your readers when you
assert that they do not.
The Herald continues:-
"What is meant by paying in greenbacks
Is TO keep as much of that currency afiOat as
the country can reasonably bear, and by no
means to contract the present amount till all
or large portion of the debt be liquidated.
That is the proposition, and that, we think is
what the country will come to. And what in-
justice would be done? Who would be in
jured? Nearly all OF the bondholders would be
paid more than they gave for the bonds"
Here is the old game of scaling the debt,
which Hamilton put his foot on in 1890. A
man walks up to the Treasury and says, "Mr.
Treasurer here is the promise of the United
States to pay $1,000 to bearer on demand; |
want the money" "Well, here is S465," re-
spends the Treasurer 'it is all that the bond
cost you" If this isn't the answer of a scoun-
drel, then there never was a scOundrel.
TO determine how much greenbacll cur
rency "the country can reasonably bear" we
should resume and thereafter maintain specie
payment. Then, if the country wants
S400 000 600, or $780, 600 900, or ST. 300 900, 900
of greenbacks, it will float that amount all
that are not needed in business will be sent in
for redemption.

81 Eldest Son Of the Church has had TO choose
between lighting with Italy TO UNFOLD the
temporal power, with Prussia Watching 10
make her opportunity Of his extremity. or for.
lelung the superstitious support of the igno-
rant masses of France led by the priests. Ex
cessive taxation and grinding oonsorintion
alone can keep him on his throne, and 1t will
take but slight turn of affairs to mako tber,
the instruments of his fall. The condition of
the Pope and of Victor Emanuel himself might
be easily shown to be but inevitable oompliea-
tions arising from the eudeavor to set aside
the laws of God in their dealings with their
subjects and other nations.
we are ourselves no obscure example of the
truth OF this doctrine. We too, endeavored
TO bulld up our own prosperity and secure our
own peace on the sacrifice of the rights and
happiness Of men as good as ourselves. We
thought by consenting with tyrants to be per
mitted to enjoy part of their plunder of the
poor. And for a while we seemed TO succeed
But at last He who said vengeance is minen
barred his arm and avenged His poor. We
paid dearly in the blood of our first-born and
in the spelling of our goods for our refusing to
let this people go. And we have reason to
hope that our chastsement'has had the effect
in some good measure which the divine ohas-
tisements are designed to produce We
have, under the sternest compulsion of
Providence, retraced our steps, and begun
doing the justice to our fellows which we
should have done ninety years ago. Had
our fathers laid the chains of their captves
on the corner stone Of their new ediioe, in
stead of Offering human sacrifices upon it,
what mighty and prosperous people we
should have been The chain of our brethren
which we consented to hold is what has held
us back and kept us down in the career of
greatness and glory. And now our future is
to be shaped and colored by the wisdom with
which we make absolute justice the new head
of the corner of our reconstructed temple of
liberty. This is the struggle in which we are
now engaged and through which we must
labor to the orowning victory. When we
learn that it is in righteousness and justice
only that nation can be established, and so
live as a nation we shall enter on great
career of prosperity and ltrue glory beyond
the warmest dreams of imagination. 1t is
this that consecrates politics, and makes it a
religious duty to take part in them until our
laws become one with the divine laws of
liberty, justice, and righteousness.
