The Prospect Before Us.

From The Petersburg (Va) Express.
We are of that sanguine type Of individuals
who never despair of results until such papa.
be and tangible evidence is presented against
their fulflment as to place them beyond the
range of reasonable probabilities. Hence we
are not disposed to unite with those who hope
lesslY concede that the late elections in the
North and West indicate the absolute dscom
fture OF the conservative cause in the approach
ing Presidential election. That may or may
not be, as the true friends of the Constitution
and the Union acquit themselves of the solemn
obligations that devolve upon them. To sur
render nOw-to flee frightened and panic
stricken because, forsooth, we have not gained
all that we hoped for, would indicate a want
OF moral courage unwarranted in the extreme.
1t is true, we did not carry the States of
Pennsylvania and Indiana, but it is also un-
doubtedly true that the majorities against us
are not so great but that with proper exertion
they may be easily overcome. There is one
element which we have not yet seen taken
into account in balancing the chances against
US. Our friends of the Jewish persuasion
were doubtless left free to vote as they pleased
in the State elections, and many, we pre-
sumo, voted the Republican ticket; but
will they, can they be induced to vote
for the man who stigmatized them in
seize the opportunity so favorably presented
to show that, as people, they are not to be
insulted with impunity9 The vote of these
people, where they are so numerous must
necessarily be felt; and should it be-, as We
have every reason to suppose, cast as a unit,
it is by no means to be despised. But apart
from this, we are so fully aware that many
causes tend to operate upon State elections
that cannot be brought to bear in the Presi-
dental contest, as to be unwilling to allow
more than just weight to any election which
has taken place. Let MS take courage, then,
and let every true-hearted American do his

The War Democrats:
From the ". Y. Times.

A very large number of War Democrats
of Democrats who stood by the Government
in its contest to crush the Rebellion-have
called meeting for Wednesday evening next,
for the purpose Of proclaiming their prefer
ence for General Grant for President
Among the signers will be found the names of
many who have been known, in this city
aid State, as among the pillars of the
Democratic party. Some of them, it is
true, lost standing with their party when
they stood by their country during the war,
and have been targets for the denunciation
and abuse of their party organs from that
day to this. But they have never abandoned
its organization until now. They have hoped
and struggled for its reform-but referm they
find is hopeless. They denounce the action of
its National Convention-repudiate its plat
form and resist the revolutionary sentiments
and programme of its candidates. They are
opposed to reputation of the public debt, and
will not consent that the Government shall be
surrendered to Southern Rebels who still
maintain that the Rebellion was right, and who
still cling with untlinchiDg devotion TO the "Lost
Cause" So they call upon all of their party
who concur in their sentiments to meet on
Wednesday evening at the Cooper Institute,
and take corresponding action.
This is a timely movement. 1t indicates
the process that is going on in the bosom of
the Democratic party. The sentiments thus
proclaimed are feltby very large portionOf that
party Aho would gldaly escape the wreck which
awaits it. This movement offers an admira-
BILE chance for them 10 go ashore, and thou
sands of the party will avail themselves of it,
They have no fancy for going to the bottom
with the crazy craft on which they have en-
barked. AS we have said from the beginning,
the name of Grant is far stronger than the
party which made him its candidate, and every
day shows more clearly that he will get, even
in this city, thousands and thousands OF Demo-
cratic votes. And so it will be throughout the
country. His election, by an overwhelming
majority, is already assured,

vndicated his sagacity, he owes 1t to himself
and the party to assums that position of au-
thority which belongs to his abilities, aud
which the masses OF the party crave tn at hs
should take. statesman upon whom no
mination is thrust, violates no Obligation of
honor in retaining his individuality, aud
giving free utterancs to his independent judg-
ment-especially when the safety of the party
demands such service. II 4ving witnessed the
results OF inferior leadership, il is his duty To
bring back the canvass to the moderate aud
proselytiziug ground on which it WAS his
original wish TO place it. After these defeats
the masses of the Democracy need words of
encouragement from their trusted leader
The Democratic masses are never 50 wrongei
as by those who underrate their intelligence
They see through aud scorn the legerdemain
by which facts are sotteued or cOlOrad but
they will listen with profound respect to the
sober cOunsels of q sincere statesman, who
knows no art but robust integrity, and has
too much respect for popular good sense TO
fear that anything would be lost by a faithful
exposure of the situation. Nothing is so per-
suasive or so steadying as truth, spoken with
honest courage. The Democratic masses
yearn for the truth from the lips of the
statesman who, besides being their ao-
cepted candidate, has the clearest head,
the best gifts of utterance, the largest
power to command attention, the greatest
moral weight; OF any man In the party. Tney
do not desire him to prophesy smooth decets
but to tell them, in all honest plainness, why
they have failed, and how they may yet sue
ceed. a party cannot subsist upon vaporng
and make. believe. Unless.we can change the
aspect of the canvass, we shall have a repsti-
tion in November of a result like that which
has overtalen us in the preliminary contest
II anybody tells the people that things look
well as they stand. or that nothing which can
now be done would better them, he is in the
first case dishonest and in the second mis-
taken.
Governor Seymour can now aid us much,
but General Blair can aid us far. more, in a
different way, by a ohivalric action superior to
all eloquence.

John Allen for President.

From, the N. Y. Tribune
We timidly suggest another candidate for
the consideration of the perplexed Democracy
1t is hard to have great party go by default
for want OF representative especially when
New York furnishes man with a reputation
more extended even than Seymour and of as
positive character as General Blair. friend
writes us that intelligent people in Paris ask
''who is Seymour" and "was he a general
under Lee?"
New York presents candidate whose
name is familiar to Paris and London. We
refer to Mr.. John Allen, No. 304 Water street.
Mr.. Allen earned sudden and DAZZLING renown
as "The Wickedest Man in New York" He
was an object of penitence. He attended
prayer meeting. He urged his companions in
crime to 'trust in Jesus" and "prepare to
meet their God" He proposed to enter the
ministry, and to go over the country as an
example of saving grace. But one thing John
would not do. He would not abandon the
Democratic party. "Close my bar" he said,
"but leave me the Constitution Hold prayer
meetings, but don't compel me to associate
with niggers Break my gin-bottles, but
don't ask me to 60 back on Seymour can
give up the dance business, but cannot give
up my Democracy % OF course such "con-
version" could have but one result. So long
as John clung to the Democracy there could
be no repentance, and so we find him before
justice lowing LOT keeping ulsOrderly
house." His address to that Judge is diplo-
matte. He talks like Seymour. Thus:-
AlIen-If no charge is made promise to have
nOthlng TO do with politics.
Judge Dowllug- DO you mean to say that poll.
tics lad anything to do with your arrest?
Allen-I don't say anything at all about it,
Your Honor.
This is just the position that Mr.. Seymour
held before the Convention. Seymour had
nothing to do with politics, and was nomi
mated. Allen would have nothing to do with
politics, and he was held to bail. Plainly,
such devotion to Democracy needs encourage
ment. Here is man who would rather be
Democrat than gentleman or Christian,
who is a conspicuous member of the party,
and who will probably cast more votes than
any ten Republicans in the city. His name
is known over the world, and his Democracy
has passed unscathed through the fires of a
hundred prayer-meetings. Such man would
rally the party, and lead to the grand sup.
rising" for which the World is clamoring.

Wade In VS.. Wade Out.


Inc Southern chivalry who ran the late
penocratlc National Convention and are run
ming the Seymour and Blair party are hard to
please. Hearing that Howell Cobb, Toombs,
etc, were to speak at Seymour Ratification
in Atlanta, we sent down one of the hast Ste
nographers in America to report their speeches
v,rJatin, which he did, and we published
them exactly as they reached us. Word was
directly sent hence to Georgia that such
speeches would not answer, and from that
hour systematic but dastardly efforts have
been made to impugn the accuracy OF our re-
portl No man has directly, openly i'm
peached it; but all manner Of tricky, under
hand devices have been employed to induce
general belief that no such speeches were
made, or that they were not uttered as we
printed theml
General Wade Hampton we regret to see on
the same track. He fought well in the late
struggle, though on the wrong side, and his
military standing should preclude his playing

Governor Seymour.

Governor Seymour's conception of the Pre-.
sidential canvass was, from the beginning, just
and ssgscious. His discerning judgment was
never misled by fanoiful analogies between
Success in an election is purely thing of

always sure of victory, the fate of battle is
determined at the recruiting stations. Cover
nor seymour accordingly saw the supreme
Importance Of so shaping the canvass as TO
make proseiytes. So far as the canvass has
been put upon different footing, it was done
by influences by which Governor Ssymour's
deliberate Judgment was Overborne.
