4 CHEERING OUTLOOK FROM A MA
TIONAL STANDPOINT.
WHAT is THOUGHT OF THE PROSPECT AT
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, October 16.

w A0hA~NN'Ac~'t ONsVb$A eAVs
The Democratic Committee is prepar-
ing for prosecution of the campaign
with unwonted vigor, and / find, by
comparing notes with prominent Demo-
Gratis in this city, that the prospect. SO
far from being gloomy, is really very
bright.
The feeling in regard to the election
of Seymour is as deep rs ever Far
from being discouraged, the Democrats
everywhere are resolved to move on in
their fixed purpose, and to accomplish
the election of candidates. There has
been disappointment about Pennsyl-
vania, but the belief is general that tho
Democracy of that State intend to con-
test every inch Of ground and that it is
not at all desperate, for the $4,000 re-
jected Democratic voters will vote in
November. 1t is within the rccollec-
ton of many that Pennsylvania once
gave majority Of 10000 at an October
election and in November the unsuccess-
full party carried the day. With Penn
syvania our success was beyond doubt.
But we had votes to spare, and even
with her rs votes against us we see
bright prospects for Mr.. Seymour In
winning Ohio the "Dutch have only
captured Holland" again. 1t has teen
fixed star of Radicalism since the birth
of that party, and it was only the bril-
liant canvass of last year which encour-
aged she hope of better things.

rYCoL. CHRIsTY, of the Athens
Waterman, has been before Conven-
ton and is thoroughly disguised. We
like to see the truth occasionally express
aueezed--crushed, out--even if 1t
comes after the nomination
"Of all the creatures inhabiting the
carth's surface, none are so greatly de-
ceived as are the little squads of old
party hacks who ga.hcr in clusters
about our towns and villages, to eds
cuss he affairs of State" and while thus
gathered conceive the very absurd idea
that they are The People! Poor, weak
kneed, windbroken, spawned and swim
MED old hacks They forget that the
"sceptre has departed from them, and
The People now think and act for them
selves. Once they managed to control
the honest masses, but having so cruelty
nisIed them Within the past few years,
they can never do so again directly.
They have an indirect way of doing
this thing, however. This is by and
through The fundamentally of packed
onventions and two thirds rules. By this
sort of lcgcrdenain, they can and have
thwarted the will of The People. Here
after. The sovereigns Of the land will de-
mand Jsv .tetd and an open fight, and
the man who comes before them through
The convention ''sweat- box" (Which is
infinitely worse than anything ever con-
ccived Of BY Gen. Meade) will receive
the brand of their Reproduction. II is
nothing but an ingenious device to cheat
and swindc the people-@they now un-
deIstand it as such--and woe be to those
who may hereafter undertake to thwart
their wishes in this matter"

swA dreadful state of affairs exists

wA dreadful state of affairs exists
in (Northern) louisiana and Arkansas.
Fights approaching battles have been
fought and numbers of all colors slain.
The Governor of Arkansas in his letter
to the Secretary of War says he appre-
bends an outbreak which even the MILL
tary ofthe United States cannot sup
press.
A great deal of these reports may be
sensational. We trust that they are
not half as bad as indicated.

No Change Ccntemplated.

UTICA, Oct. 19.-At a conference on
Saturday, between Gov. Seymour and
several members of the national commit
tee, Gov. Seymour said that any change
in the ticket must result in the with +.
drawal of his name. He was an unwilI-
ing candidate and would gladly be re-
lieved of the responsibility. His visi-
tors replied that no change was contem-
plated.

A Constitutional FieD of The War
Jetreen the States. By Alexander
IL Stevens.
This work has been upon our table for
several weeks, and we should have
noticed it sooner, but it was our desire to
examine it with some degree of care
before we expressed our opinion as to
its merits. From the many notices of
this work by the press, we had been led
to form an erroneous opinion as to its
real object. We supposed it to what
they had represented it "A history of
the war-when in reality it is not a
history proper, but series Of disserta-
lions
Mr.. Stevens has departed from usage,
and adopted the colloquial style This
we are compelled to think unfortunate
for when an author lays down a coll
loquy and writes his answer below, we
in many instances PREJUDICE the nature
of that answer from the mere wording
of the colloquy. The author has ex-
pressed himself in an awkward sentence
upon this very point: "He felt the risk
attending putting forth anything, in the
form of book, which in its departure
from the usual mode of treating subjects
of the character in hand, might not be in
accordance with the ruling taste of the
day." The italics are our own.
The colloquial style belongs to an ago
in which printing was unknown, ant
in which the we'll poised judgment O.
the critic never found employment
Nor is it our desire that it should b,
revived in the nineteenth century; bu
leaving this question entirely out o
view, the work is, in many respects
worthy of its great author. There i
is no man better qualified to perform tn
work than he who has undertaken it
and the book should find place in ever,
library.
TO the lawyer, the statesman, tb
politician, and to him who would hay
a clear understanding of the causes
origin aud results of the greatest strug
gle known to man, the work is invalu
able.
1t is issued by the National Publish
ing Company, Philadelphia, and fur
nished by subscription.

harping critics, who read Divine law in
the New York Tribune, had attempted
to obscure his great example by deciar-
ing him a churl. Calling on him
through the brazen throat Of corrupted
press to advocate the cause Of Radical
ascendancy, they were amazed at a
silence they we're not capacite.ed to
understand or appreciate. His arm had
boon bandaged down like that Of the
Egyptian mummy, and yet they would
SANDER him that he failed to bend the
supple knee and beat the air with his
tongue to the music of mad multitude.
But the justice of Heaven moves not,
a1d as the scroll of time is steadily un-
rolled it brings TO view a tremendous
gathering of the Northern men, who,
surfeited with Southern blood and
alarmed at the magnitude of their own
great evil, are calling on Southern rocks
and mountains to resist the avalanche
they have disengaged. They have be-
held US like Sampson sitting shorn and
blind beneath the temple, and while
they have sworn We shall never worship
there, they fear our power to destroy
them in its ruins High fuuc tionaries
are despatched, who ask the great war
rior of Virginia for counsel in the
storm which threatens to engulf all on
board. The hand which pressed the
seal of silence is Withdrawn, and the
great man, who during mighty revo>
luton never did a mean or vindictive
thing, has spoken to the assurance OF
his troubled country in that phase Of
peace which is more terrible than war.
| Thus is the unseen hand of Provi-
dence shaping the diplomacy of events,
and when the storm is highest and the
elements OF strife beyond all parallel in
their turbulence, behold in the twink
ling of an eye that iron>clad and col
lossal figure which rose to typify North,
ern cupidity and New Englr ad hate, is
turned, like Lots wife, into pillar Of
salt, which those same turbulent ele-
ments can beat and play upon till il
crumble and leave only the barren waste
where it stood, to remind world that
like Babel, it could multiply evil bu
could not perpetuate it.
