AND DIsMAY IN THE COP
PERHEAD CAMP.

CONFUSION AND DIsMAY IN THE COP
PERHEAD CAMP.
An article from the columns Of ths
New York World, and the stir created il
the Democratic camp thereby, are Sc
forth as follows in the telegraphic col
umn of Sundays Enterprise:
The narrow escape of the Republicans i.
due not to their principles, but to the military
prestige of Grant and the aspersions cast on
Blair. In the right of principle we should
have succeeded, and we may succeed yet, il
we can remove orneutralize these adverse IL .
, fuences, which have really nothing to dc
with the question. The World proceeds to
ask: Can this be done? and commits this to
the attention of the most earnest reflection
| of the recognized leaders of the party. We
have still three weeks for action. Prompt
and judicious action may accomplish Won
ders. The political party which does not ad-
vance with the nation and enter into the full
essence Of its expanding and exuberant life.
is on declivity which descends to decadence
and decrepitude. The Democratic party is
full of vigorous and youthful aspiring ele-
ment. Similar elements in the other party
are yearning to join it if we have but the
boldness to build bridge on which they can
cross.
The article is the talk in all political cir
cles and is considered as arousing the De-
mOcracy to withdraw Seymour and Blair.
The New York evening papers comment on
it but think the advice comes too late.
Washington specials to all the New York
and Chicago papers talk of little else and the
measures being taken to put another ticket
in the field. The weight of opinion seems to
be in favor of Chase and Adams, though the
chances of Hendricks, Franklin, Hancock
and others are freely balanced.
The Herald says it has been decided to
give the nomination to Chase and John Quin-
cy Adams.
Belmont and other members of the Nation
al Committee are with Seymour at Utica to-
day.
" The CALLED jade winces" The 10y
al voice of Pennsylvania; Ohio, Indiana
and Nebraska has sent terror into the
rebel camp. The decentralization and
dismay thus evinced are not to be won
dered at. Coward like, the Dem ocracy,
after defantly prociaiming in favor of
the Lost Cause" is ready, at the first |
sound Of loyal artillery to lower its flag,
.hange its base, revolt against its com
manders and repudiate its articles Of
var. We predicted, weeks ago, that
Seymour and Blair would be withdrawn
We believe they certainly will be.
What shameless piece of poltroonery
5 this that is advised by the New York
World. 1t has helped to commit its
,arty to the position forced upon it by
frank Blair and the Southern rebels
Who controlled the Tammany CO zen
ion. and now that it finds that position
epudiated by the country, advises a
quare back down by its party. Cop
erbead stump speakers have been per
the country repeating Blair's
eclaration. that the Reconstruction
cts are unconstitutional, null and {
old" The World virtually advises ,
he retraction ofthe Tammany platform,
nd counsels the Pendletons, the Vail
the Wallaces, the Will
.mses, the Pitzers and the other mouth +
RS of treason to eat their words. Such {
complete and overwhelming oblitera- t
on of party upoa the political field i
f battle, was never known before
ever in the history of American politics t
as any great party oeen so utterly stam '
eded before. l
The contemplated dodge will DO moth r
e for the Democratic party. Its treas b
1able purposes have been too fully de- s
.loped already. What has been done c
Innot be undone. 1t is one Of the i'm u
disabilities of warfare, for an army in a
e field to be inspired with enthusiasm b
r another cause than the one for which :,
soldiers were enlisted. Suppose the b
emocra,ic thimble-riggers reconvened B
Tammany. Suppose them remodel a
e their platform to meet the objections lo
1ich the people have pronounced
ainst it. Fancy the ex rebel Generals
d their allies, the Northern dough- tt
:es, pushing Seymour and Blair off OF
