The Democratic line sssus TO b In much the
nme condition q the Rebel line In ffont Of
Petersburg was Just after Sheridan's victory ct
Five Forks. Ali along the line the Democratic
Generals evince painful consclcunsss Of be-
;nr outnanked, and the run for Apponattox
has begun. Judge Lindsey Of Kokomo, Iowa,
nominsted for Presidential Elector BY the Dem
ocr.ts of the With District, bolts Seymour and
takes the stump for Grant. The Hon. Dennis
Nc Carthy and Gen. David 8. Wilson Of Iowa,
both lifelong Democrats, bolt Seymour and take
the stump for Grant Major-Gen. Gordon Of
Indiana, a Democrat till Seymour vas nomins-
tel, takes the stump for Grant. The Hon.
George VI. Western Of Bangor, . wheel-horse OF
the Democratic party, takes the stump for
Grant.
The Hon. Thomas N. Stillwell, United States
Minister to Venezuela, and Gen. J. L. Swim,
both johnson Democrats, have returned to the
Republican fold, and are stumping for Grant
anil Colhx. Rumor has it that Collector
Smythe, following in the footsteps Of the illus
trious Thuriow Weed, repudiates Democracy,
and will declare for Grant as soon a. he can
read his title cleai. Gen. Steadman, who would
have supported johnson, or Hancock, or Nc
Clellan, rpudiates Seymour. Senator Doolittls
Is downcast, and has no faith In the Seymour
ticket. Gen. Eving's feathers are all wet, and
he has stopped growing. Gen. L. d. Campbell
Is reported TO be disguised. ChiefJustice Pear
son Of North Carolina, Conservative, u. out
for Grant. The Maryland Conservatives, who
have heretofore sustained Swami, have held
meeting and declared for Gen. Grant. Caleb
Cushing regards the Seymour ticket with con-
tempt. Not single member Of the Cabinet, or
prominent officer Of the Government, has given
the least intimation Of intention to support Sey-
mour. Mr.. Evarts, Mr.. Seward, Mr.. McCul-
loch, and 90 far - known, the other members
Of the Cabinet, win support Grant and ColfaI.
Late indications seem TO be that Andrew John.
son himself will either remain neutral, which
would be new attitude for him, or como out In
support Of Grant. or course, ChiefJustice
Chase, whom Seymour pretended to support In
the Convention a. cover to secure his own
nomination, will not respond with any like hyp-
ocritical pretense Of supporting Seymour. He
is incapable Of II. Should the President sup
port Grant, rs he probably win, Mr.. Seymour
will probably not be honored by the support Of
more than o corporal's guard among the Al ,0OO
office-holders Of the Government. We have a.
ready mentioned several Democratic journals
which have repudiated Seymour. Altogether,
seeing that the campaign has only been running
one month, and that We have still nearly three
months before us, II looks very much as though
the Democrats would reach Appomattox Court
House about tho LIST Of November, We have no
doubt that Gen. Grant viii treat them with
that magnanimity which has always distinguish
cd his course toward Rebels, and will allow ofh-
GERS to retain their side-arms and privates to
20 home on parole. But the sooner they lower
the Rebel Gag the better.-N Y. Tribune.
The Tribune might have extended the list
much farther. Among those hitherto prominent
in the support Of the Democratic patty, not in
cludcd in the above, or those heretofore men
toned in these columns, (vho do not support
Seymour and Blair) may be mentioned, Gen
eral Halleck, Gen. John A. Dix, Hon. Isaac
Reed Of waldoboro in this State, who was .
delegate to the New York Convention, Hon. l.
N. Morris late Democratic Congressman from
Illinois, Hon. T. W. Green, q leading Indiana
Democrat. P. II. sibley, member Of the Cali
fornia State Committee, Hon. ]. Belfoy Of Mimi
esota. Hon. David Kilgore Of Indiana, Judge
Studdiford Of Brooklyn, General Sweetser, late
Democratic candidate for Congress in Pcnusyl-
yanis, and J. b. Webster Of Pittsburg, Pennsyl
ysnia, Democratic candidate for Congress in
1866, while each week Of our exchanges records
the names Of others, who do not court another
civil war nv AGAIN putting the rebels in power.
