Inc Democratic mutiny has broken
out airesh to-day. The I1.telIioencer.
after remaining silent for one issue,
comes out this morning calling for an
immediate meeting of the Democratic
Committee. y. say
/ "A week has elapsed since the result
OF the pennsylvania election was
known, result upon which was staked
the PRESIDENTIAL contest. The success
OF the Radical party in these States was
followed by a suggestion of the New
York World for a change of Candidate
IN TINS demand we, and q very large
portion of the Democratic press acoJi-
esced. Since then, nothing anthorita-
i've has been heard from those who
assume the conduct of the campaign.
slthough numerous dispatches have
oeen addressed to members of the Conn
mittee at New York, and to Governor
seymour. If the contest is to be com
Llnued some authoritative action which
VIII be recognized by Democratic and
conservative voters, should be ut once
ioEthcomtng; In such form as will give
IL tuA authority. We call attention to
the article In the World which appears
IN another column and fully indorse
IT, with the exception of that part re-.
ferring to Gen. Blair whose manly
speech at 81. Louis excites general adj
miratton. The paragraph alluded to
VIII bear the construction that the
World calls for the withdrawal of Gen.
Blair from the ticker. In this we do
not agree. The change, II made, must
be thorough, and the demand for the
chauge Is SO general as to require the
Immediate attention of those Who have
the authority to speak to the Democrats
10 and Conservative voters of the conn
try"
The EzpreSS this evening returns to
the attack upon the enemies of Sew
mour and Blair. in an article known 10 |

It's opening paragraphs are the follow. |
ing. "It Is with unIeigned regret that |
we perceive The Inteuigencer persisting |
THIS morning In endeavoring to give re-
sPectabllity to the invidious suggestion
OF the New York World in respect to a |
change of candidates on the part of the |
Democratic party, and we confess a |
surprise In view of its temperate and |
well written leader of yesterday. It's
arucie OF this morning retterates the OBJ.
Jeettonable features of its remarks of
Saturday. While the circumstances OF |
the case are entirely different, 1t might |
very we'll have been inferred at first
that no respectable paper of its own
yolition and capricewould have under
taken to speak the sentiments of q great |
party upon SO momentous point. But
subsequent events have proven beyond
the possibility of a doubt that the World /
newspaper had, in making its impudenIs
suggestion, no higher or better author
ity than what It conceives to.be the per-
sonal interests OF its owners in and out
side of its editorial sanctum. The course |
OF the InteLti0eaceT is more remarkable;
since the object of the World has been
accomplished in throwing a fire brand
into the ranks of the Democratic party,
IL has itself repudtated its own sugges-
ton SO far as it affected our candidate
for the Presidency. The MdchidVeLLiGn
sheet has sneaked out from its attack
upon Seymour, and as last fling
throws its sneer at Gen. Blair with an
Unsurpassed smile at the stupidity of
its misguided followers.n
twill be seen from the above thatthe
fight between the two factions here is
now more bitter than ever. Gen. Han.
cock said to-day that the movement
had no particular interest to him, aud
he had no idea any change would be
made. 8. J. Tilden telegraphed here
this morning that no change would be
made, and that Governor Seymour
would take the stump Immediately.
