TO TIE CONSIDERATE.

! If there were no parties and no political
divisions among our cOuntrymen, and we were
about to choose President and Nice-Presi-
dent-the rival candidates, being, as now, Ulysses
| S. Grant against Horatio Seymour for Presi-
dent and Schuyler COlfax against Francis p.
Blair, jr. for e-President-can there be a
rational doubt that Grant and COlfax would
receive at least twO-thirds of the vOtesG What
| States could with reason be counted on to vote
against themV Who can name seven
Now there are parties and political divisions;
and these sway the votes of many people; but
not of ALL There are very many thousands
who will vote with primary reference to
the candidates-fOr that ticket which, Oh the
whole, they deem composed Of the filter and
more deserving men. Who doubts that these
will tell heavily for Grant and COfax2
Again:
Let us suppose the election were over, and
Grant and Colfax duly elected beyond cayil {:
Is there living on this round earth one man
who believes, or fears, or suspects that there
would be revolutionary violence or serious
commotiOn in the land within the four years
ensuing7 Do not all men know that the
People of the late Rebel States would all un-
derstand that they must obey the laws and
eschew all manner of tumult and violenceP
Would not White and Black live in peace and
harmony throughout those four yearsq Would
not those who are to-day hurrahing for Sey
mour and exulting over Frank Bair's Brod-
head letter at once comprehend that they must
behave themselves hencefOrth, at least so long
as Gen. Grant had his hand on the helm
Do you not know that they would hasten
forthwith to Washington to say, "Gen. Grant,
"there has been misapprehensiOn and aliena-
/" ton between us, but we want to do the right
"thing and avoid trouble what do you require
"Of usP" Do you not know that Gen. Grant
would use all his influence to soOthe, to recon
cile, to heal? Who believes that there would
be any disfranchised class, or any need of dis
franchisement, two years after Gen. Grants
inauguration Most certainly the Blacks
would be protected in the rights which the
policy of Congress has secured them but who
can object to thatf Who fears that, when all
are enfranchised, the Eight Millions of Whites
in the South, constantly reinforced by immi-
grafton, have anything to fear from the -Four
Millions of Blacks9
Now look at the other side
Suppose Seymour and Blair elected, what is
to be done with the existing governments of
the reconstructed States. and the rights secured
thereby By what legal. peaceful process are
they to be subvertedi Who does not know
that attempts to reGnslave wholly or partially,

New-York tribune., 1868-07-24

The Enquirer adds explanations, whereof
these are specimens:
"we carried Nevada at the last election; Indiana
and Illinois are Old Democratic States which the War
caused to sweryo from their mOorings."
-"The War;" which caused Indiana and Hi
nois to "swerve from their moorings,' was that
waged by the Democratic party, through its
leaders and representatives, on the rights OF
Free Labor in the Territories. They so
swerved' in 1854 and they went heavily for
Lincoln in 1860. What "War" do you refer to
We can't help asking The Enquirer'S at
tention to a little circumstance which it seems
TO have overlooked. A gentleman well known to
us, after looking OH at the late Democratic Ma
tiOnal Convention, left $4,000 at the st.
Nicholas Hotel to bet on Grant and Colfax, as
we mentioned ten days ago. And George
Wilkes, in his Spirit remarked that he had
5000 or over to bet on the same side. We
haven't yet heard of any one going after either
of those amounts. If this implies that the
Democratic blacklegs have all repented, burnt
their sweat cloths, and joined the Church, we
are heartily glad of it, and family hope that
their change of heart is permanent. We are
afraid, however, that it wouldn't stand the
strain of decided Democratic victory in the
October elections.
New-York tribune., 1868-07-24

We venture once more to represent to Mem
bers of Congress that recent developments OF
Mr.. Johnson's temper and purposes forbid
even recess of six or eight weeks at this
time We know that Congress has been long
in session, that the weather is hot and Mem
bers naturally anxious to adjourn and go
home but the perils that confront us are
grave and imminent, and it is the simple duty
of Congress to provide every possible safe
guard. 1t is not enough to hope and believe
that no usurpation or violence is meditated +;
such precautions must bc taken that no evil
purpose can be consummated. We repeat that
there should be no adjournment until every
State lately in revolt shall have been enabled
to vote for President at the ensuing election
under the guidance and government Of her
own loyal authorities
Mr.. Fessenden remarked on Wednesday that
if Congress were not to adjourn till every
measure deemed important had been acted on
it would never adjourn at all We are moved
to add that, if MIR. Fessendens vote on I'M
peachment had been in accordance with the
Judgment of those who sent him to the Sen
ate, Congress might have safely and properly
adjourned long ago.

The Democracy of Connecticut have inn
proved upon the example of their brethren in
Pennsylvania, and there is no foreseeing now
to what sublime nights of rascality the impu-
dence of the party may not rise. In Pennsyl-
vania they contented themselves with forging
naturalization papers; in Connecticut they
have learned the art of forging laws. 1t seems
that in the Legislature of the latter State they
made strenuous efforts to engraft upon q new
registration bill certain amendments which
would practically render it imperative. They
were defeated. The bill was passed without the
amendments and locked up in the office of the
Secretary of State over Sunday. On Tuesday
clerk chanced to examine it, and 10! the
amendments were all there. Somebody who
must have known the ways of the place had
