is the fact that they are placed on platform
of rebellion and rasoality.
On the Fourth Of July, in Tammany Hall,
the Democratic party, still great, and with the
prestige Of unexpected successes, stood at the
dividing Of ways. 1t was almost persuaded to
accept the issues of the war, to turn its back
upon the past, apply itself to the questions of
the day in the spirit of the day, and place a
great statesman at its head. We do not be-
lieve that it would, even thus, have attained
success. The people had made up their minds
that the men and party that had saved the
country should rule it. Bat, with such
policy and leader the Democratic organization
would have had a present and a future. In-
stead, falling then into the hands of the
Rebels, it now has neither. The World calls
in vain for a change of base. A change of
nature is what is needed, and paper bulletins,
on the heels of rout and the eve of another
battle can work no such miracle.
1t will be seen that we attach very little i'm
portance to the convulsions that are now agi-
tating the leaders of the Democracy. They
are merely an acknowledgment of the hand
writing on the wall. Armies that acknowledge
themselves whipped and ready to run do not
easily change front in the face of the enemy.
Parties that admit themselves defeated by the
popular loathing of their princieles cannot
recall vanishing victory by kicking aside the
candidates who embody those principles. The

for revolution at the South and dishonesty at
large. No change of candidates can erase that
record. The damned spot will not out at their
bidding. To seek to conceal it by other can
ddates is absurd. Hancock as fgure-head
would not interpose bulk enough to cut off
the echoes of the Rebel yell of delight with
which the platform was received. Johnson
would only turn the present comedy
into a farce. The name of Salmon p.
Chase is the only one to charm with, and
he will repel their solicitations. However
ambitious he may be, his ambition has not
made him fool. He knows that to place
him where Seymour stood, on Vallandigham' 5
and Wade Hampton's platform, would be only
to soil great name for naught. He knows
that his candidacy could not change the fell
spirit of the Rebel Democracy, which has
startled and shocked the North. Much as the
nation has trusted him, he knows that it would
scorn his promises if he stood on the Demo
cratic platform, and received the support o
the party that in three short months has made
the South as rebellious as in 1860. The bland
ishments with which Mr.. Chase was last night
assailed are in vain. His enemies say he
might do much to attain the Presidency; his
worst enemies never accused him Of a disposi
tion to sell himself for nothing. And so the
distress of the defeated Democracy returns.

Final Collapse of Santa Anna.

From the ~ Y. Herald.
Santa Anna is again in trouble. Ever since
his exile by the Juarez government this head
less rooster has excited the pity of the world.
All the arts of revolutionists have been ex-
bausted by him in the vain effort to get an
egg from which to hatch full-blooded revolu-
ton in Mexico. Every one OF them however,
has proved added. The old heros cork leg
evidently can no longer bear a spur and the
strategy of the cockpit will not avail with
slippery customers like the greasers. Santa
Anna should have profted by his experience
of the last few years in the United States. He
came here with the belief that his revolution
airy plans would be aided and abetted by the
American Government. This was natural, for
the policy of our State Department has been
and still is one of irrepressible conflict. But
Santa ADna did not prove irrepressible. He
showed himself to be headless rooster, fit to
be consigned to the care of Mr.. Bergh's society
for the prevention of cruelty to animals. With
the full determination to again bleed his native
country, the old gamecock went into the arena
only to be bled himself. He got entangled in
lawsuits for the equipments necessary to
firstclass flibustering raid, left here in tow of
his heartiest enemies, to get up pronunciG-
miento in Vera Cruz, was captured, and
would have forfeited his life but for
the fact that the Juarez government knew
him to be headless rooster Not deferred by
his bitter experience the old hero would
venture on slippery ground again, pre-
Stunning on the American stability of
his game leg. This time, again, he took
into his confidence emissaries of the very gov
ernment he was seeking to overthrow.
Colonel Cosme Garcia Padilla pumped the
whole secret out of Santa Anna, General Ia
boada, and the rest of the interventionists who
have their headquarters at Havana. Accord
ing to the revelations made to the Mexican
Congress Santa Anna was to restore the laws
of the late empire, renew relations with Eu-
rope, and give the United States to understand
that their annexation policy should 60 no
further. His addresses to the Mexican people
were to set forth that the United States wanted
the northern frontier States of Mexico in con-
sideration of our assuming the foreign debt of
that republic. The late mission OF Minister
Romero was to be marked as the opening
wedge Of Uncle Sam in the dismembermeut
and eventual annexation of the republic. But
all this fine scheme failed; Padilla got the
secret, divulged it, and Captain General Ler
sundi ordered the headless rooster to be re-
moved from the Havana cockpit.
cruelty treated in all this business. He needs
and will get the sympathy of many in our
community. When such society as Mr..
Bergh's can prosper here there must certainly
be large class of sympathzers with one so
cruelty treated as Santa Anna has been. We

The Ever.VigOrOus Democracy.

From the NJ Y. World,
The great and gallant fight which the Demo
cratic party has made in the October cleo
tionss increases the pride which its friends
have always felt in its indomitable courage
and energy. II these October elections were
the final contest, the result would fill us with
the profoundest regret that such wealth of
high and noble qualities should have been
expended in vain; that they should have
brought us so close to the summit of success,
and yet have stopped just short of it. "When
Ajax strives some rocks vast weight to
throw" and, instead of hurting it the thirty
feetintervening between him and the mark, the
too great weight of the missile causes it to fall
short by few inches, our admiration of the
mighty feat increases the regret that it was not
quite successful. But II this is a mere trial,
preliminary to the final throw, our pride in
his prodigious strength inspires the wish that
ii should not second time be expended in
vain. If the armor of the hero has slightly
impeded the freedom Of his motions, let him
strip away the incumbranoel If the weight
is a few ounces, or a few pounds, too heavy
for his strength, let stone-hammsr be ap-
