Party Patriotism.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

The party which proves its patriotism by
striving to depreciate the credit of its Govern
ment is as unfortunate in the time as in the
manner of its attack. In the midst of the
Democratic rejoicings over tue 6eclai alton of
an irresponsible but pretentious manufacturer
Of campaign documents, that we were run
ming deeper and deeper in debt, and were in
reality bankrupt, comes the monthly state
ment of the public debt by the Secretary of
the Treasury. Ruined as we are beyond pos
sibility of rescue, we have contrived in the
last month to pay off round million of our
debt, besides paying all current expenses as
they occur. Ii we leave out of the account the
Pacific Railroad bonds, which are not actual
debt, since we have satisfactory guarantee for
their repayment, the decrease of the national
debt in the last month is over five million dol
lars Sure as we are, according to Delmar,
to have heavier expenditures and lighter re-
ceipts, the Democratic Secretary of the Trea-
sury announces his belief that this month our
receipts will be heavier than in the past one,
that our expenditures will be lighter, and that
in consequence yet larger reduction of the
national debt will be secured
Republicans every slanderous invention of
the public enemy recoils with ten-fold force
upon his own head. The official figures now
given by the Secretary of the Treasury him
self show that the late carnival of falsehood
about the national finances is utterly ground
less. Steadily and surely the struggling ship,
in spite of treachery in the crew and false lights
on the shore, makes into harbor Courage,
friends Let us work all together for one
week more, and next Tuesday the good craft
will round to in safe anchorage

Rebel Outrages.
From the ~. Y. Tribune.

from The ". Y. tribune.
Each days record of the bloodshed at the
South grows longer and longer. Yesterday
morning we printed details of the murders in
the Parish of st. Landry, Louisiana, showing
wholesale slaughter of negroes and determi-
nation to drive every white Unionist from
Opelousas; the shocking story of the murder
of a bridegroom and serious wounding of
bride at her parents house, in the presence
of her friends, and in the very midst of the
nuptial ceremony; and the killing of several
negro oonvicts on the line of the Central Vir-
ginia Railroad. The Rebel uprising at the
South grows day by day more bloody and
alarming In the turbulence they have
aroused, il is not always possible to see who
are the parties Immediately at fault. But we
know who famed this spirit into its present
lurid flame. We know who resolved in Tam
many Hall that the Reconstruction acts are
unconstitutional, revolutionary, null, and
void. We know who declared that we must
have President who will execute the will of
the people by trampling into the dust the
usurpations of Congress known as the Recon-
struction acts-that we must compel the army
to undo its usurpations at the South and dis
perse the carpet-bag State Governments.
Freemen of Pennsylvania, Ohio, indiana
show the South next Tuesday that the vast
majority at the North do not approve these
revolutionary councils, and are Mortified at
their murderou5 results.

What of the Canvass
Fs.om The N. Y. World.

From The ~. Y. World.
The confident spirit which prevails among
the Democracy in the States where elections
are to be held next week is justified by the
visible indications of the canvass, and con-
firms the expectation we have constantly
cherished, that the Democratic strength
would be progressively developed, and the
party grow stronger and stronger, up to the
day OF the Presidential election. Paley has

human happiness of growing or diminishing

pounds year, which goes on increasing
till he at last dies with an income of 1000
pounds year. b, on the other hand, begins
with l0O0 which gradually dwindles till he
ends with 100. These two men NAV each
have the spending of the Same sum of money.
but they derive very unequal amounts
of satisfaction from it. 1t makes great differ
ence at which end you begin. This illustration
applies to the relative strength of the two
parties in this Presidential canvass. The Re-
publican party was stronger st the outset than
it has been any day since, or than it will
be again. The Democratic party was weakest
on the very next day after the nominations,
and has been gaining in unity, discipline,
vigor, courage, and numbers from that day to
this. Whatever its strength may have been
in September at the time of the Maine cleo
tion, it is greater now; and however well we

the South, instead of the planters adopting
the advice of some silly people and abandon
ing their plantations aud homes iu case Of
Grants election, wiser eouusels are prevailing
and they are beginning to think that that
event will not bring so much of shower after
all. Upon one thing we think our Southern
friends may rely, and that is, in case
contest should arise as to which race shall
have the supremacy in the South, and Gene
raj Grant is called upon to decide, Sambo will
have to go to the wall. Altogether, we believe
IT would be well for the South to regard
General Grant as friend, mediator and pa
cifcator, rather than an enemy, despot and
destroyer.

The Final Stage.
From the ". Y. Times.

From, the N. Y. Times.
The war, says General Mcclellan, ''was only
the first epoch in the history of the struggle
in which we have been so long engaged"
Why did the General, in his farewell to De-
mocracy, fail to complete the statement He
does not confound the close Of the war with
the close of the contest for supremacy. Armed
hostilities were but "the first epoch" the
final result remains to be reached; and he evil
IDENTIFY comprehends at glance the influences
that are at work to neutraliz9 the gains OF vic
tOrious loyalty. The disgust excited by the
condemnation of the war as failure is inten-
sifed by the proposal of the same party to
turn over the Government to Rebels, and to
undo the work of the Union armies. 1t is not
surprising that the General declined to partici-
pate in proceedings designed to glorify a cause
championed by the Rebel leaders, or that he
seized the occasion to announce his retirement
from the complications Of party politics. He
is only one of thousands of Democrats whom
the present attitude of the party has perma-
nently alenated.
The prime blunder of Mr.. Ssymour's man.
ayers is in the dependence they have placed
upon the gullibility of the people. They
assumed that all they had to do was to shout
"Constitution" necessarily, and to represent
themselves as its advocates and defenders.
They rejected Hoods doctrine, that "a daw is
not religious bird because it cries 'caw'

to imagine that under the pretense of up
holding the Constitution they might with
impunity play into the hands of the Southern
malcontents. On this presumption they
acted in constructing the platform and max
ing the nominations. But the pretense
has not deceived anybody. In judging be-
tween the parties, the people estimate by
things, not by words. And when it was
found that, under the plea of guarding the
Constitution and the Union, the Democrats
were preparing to consign both to the treacher-
GUS keeping of men who fought four years for
their destruction, the decision in favor OF
Grant was rendered in advance. On another
basis, there might have been room for keen
conflict. The details of policy would have
afforded materials for debate, and would have
allowed differences of opinion among men
substantially agreed on the general principles
of government. But the Democratic choice
precluded argument and ended all excuse fol
doubt. 1t was no longer struggle between
parties in either of whose hands the peace o
the country would be safe; but struggle be
tween those who saved the Union and thos,
who would renew the assault upon it with
certainty of producing civil war. From tha
moment the election Of Grant was assured, the
