From 0te ~. Y. Nation. ..;,s
The Republican party has sus'aineu 80 20 a.
OF defeats this year scarcely equA,iou -
history When, on the 4Hn "''''
,,oipted out that it had lost IOhVVV Oh i'S ma
iori,ios last year, and predicted that 1t would
Ioso tbe New York election, we were severely
denounced both as false prophets and as enc
mics to the party. But our predictions are
much more than verified. We foretold $4,000
democratic majority in New York, desiring to
make the figure as moderate as we honestly
oould. AS soon as the registration was COM
pleted we estimated the probable ma
ioritv at 5000. In fact, it exceeds
4s.OCO. The returns from other States
are very imperfect, but seem to indicate
$4,000 Republican majority in Massachusetts,,
10000 Democratic majority in New Jersey,
10000 Democratic majority in Maryland 5000
Republican majority in Wisconsin, 1000 in
Minnesota, and perhaps 5000 in Kansas. The
returns from Illinois and Minnesota, where
county officers only were chosen, are SO meagre
as to afford no indication Of the results. Esti-
mating the loss in these States at half the pro-
portion shown by other States, the total loss
upon the Republican majorities of last year, in
the various elections of 1867, cannot be e,koned
at less than 800, 600, or thTee-fourth5 of the
paTty's entire majority.
1t must not be supposed, however, that
anything like this number of voters have
actually left the Republican party. The
change has been effected by about 10000
Democrats voting this year who did not vote
in 1866, but were of the same politics then;
about 100000 Republicans who voted last
year now staying at home, and not over 50,O OOC
Republicans, at the most, voting the Demo
cratic ticket, unless we include the 5000 Ger
man Renu hlicans of New York who voted for
Hoffman in 1866.
The voters who simply stayed at home are
certainly not permanently lost to their party
and the Republicans who this year voted the
Democratic ticket are not certainly lost. The
former class may easily be brought out on the
right side in 1868. The latter class may bt
won back, but not so easily.
If Presidential electors had been chosen al
the recent elections, the result would have
been as follows

The Negro Conventions In the South
Their II fleets on the North.


Their fleets on the North.
From The ~. Y. Herald.
Alabama has led the van in the reconstruc-
tion of the United States by the negro. Other
States are to follow, until, under a glorious
negro rule, the ten southern divisions of our
republic are bound and given over to Africa,
to be governed according to the Haytien style.
The principles of the conventions which frame
these negro governments are shaped by the
most uDprincipled of all our demagogues.
Without dollar of interest in the country,
they stir the pliable black man to passion
aga nst the white, and, while moulding the
mass to suit radical aims, SOW the seeds of an
unavoidable war of caste. They do not fail to
promise the negro all that his barbarOus ina
ginatiOn may desire-freedom from labor, a
division of property, and even the government
of the country. Thus, for transient political
purposes they force the whole sun burned
brain of Ethiopia to the same focus, and teach
il TO expect what it can never realize while
there is Southern or Northern sword left
to defend Caucasian blood blood originally
purer than that of Africa, and purified still
more by long centuries of arduous labor
towards the summit of civilization; blood pro-
gressive, in oontraaistinction to blood re-
trograde and naturally barbalio in its i'm
| pulses.
In the face of all this we see power central
izDg in the South in the hands of that ele
ment which, according to all history, is
threat against any civilization with which it
comes in contact. The platform of the radi-
cal Republican party of Louisiana is fair
| exponent ofwhat threatens us in all the South
ern States by raising up power ten times more
| destructive and nationally demoralizing than
| any that has heretofore existed. That plat
form states:-"We as party insist on perfect
equality, without distinction Of race or color,
in the right to vote and enter the jury box
without any educational or property qualih-
cation being required" Again;-"The radical
Republican party of Louisiana will support
no man for office who will not openly and
boldly pledge himself to make an equal
distribution among white and oolored alike OF
all Offices to which he may have power of ap-
pointment f- t4 iI.-
These are the mad principles which, at
terrible cost I'VE urge upon one half OF our
territorial extent, thus threatening its com.
plete desolaton. Were it the destruction OF
only ope-half of the country we might in our
wonderful stamina, live under it; but the radi-
cal programme means more than this-it
means the draining OF every energy OF the
North 10 support the one grand black idea,

The Democratic journals are trying hard to
persuade themselves that their recent victories

admitting the South shall be remodelled to
