WARRINGTON, d. c., Oct. 10, 1868.
The Worlds acknowledgement of de-

time It has transpired that Mr.. Chase
had not been consulted by them before
the public talk began here, and further
that the Chief Justice only few days
ago declared that the platform as 1t
stands would inevitably defeat the par
ty. The organ of the Democratic Com

Gen. Rosecrans says unhesitaingly
that its to late; that If the mater

for Chase and Hendricks, or some
such ticket, it might have been put
on the track with some chance of
success, but that now, no matter what

will not consent to anychange. Num-

The Lesson or the I:leotions.
Ffom ns NJ Y. Commercial Advertiser

From the ". Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The lesson of the canvass ia a plain
one, and even the fugitive Democrats
may read 1t as they run. Their leader,
Blair, has proclaimed revolution.
Their leaders, Wade Hampton, Wise,
Vance, Forrest, Hill, and others, have
welcomed this revolutionary proRraul-
me. They have determined to make
1868 In the likeness OF 1860, and to re-
peat in the coming winter the reckless
and traitorous conduct of eight years
ago. Cover up their purposes as they
may, the people penetrate the disguise
and detect the sham. They have had
all the war they want, and they will
not Yield power to men whose pur-
poses are as bloodthirsty now as
as they were in all the years from Fort
Sumter to Appomattox, and who have
not vailed them, from the time they
gave their parole in 1865, till they ap-
peared at Tammany Hall in July last.
The issue is clear and distinct. Thous-
anils OF Democrats have already abon-
doned the party OF rebellion, and thou
sands OF voters who have stayed away
from the polls the last ten years, are
now up in arms and eager to give the
coup dc grace to the party which
brought on the great civil war, and
which gave aid and comfort to 1t dur
ing its progress. They see in Grant the
presage OF peace, and know that the
calm and magnanimou5 and victorious
soldier will prove himself the capable
and efficient Executive.

FaE LOST CAUSE.

The news we give our readers this
morning from the political centres OF
the East is,stirring. The Democracy
are not only routed. They are demor-
allied fearfully: and are now urged by
the leading Democratic organ in the
United States to change their ticket at
once. The New York Herald says the
change has already been determined
on and that q committee has visited
Mr.. Seymour at Utica to obtain his
consent. They agree on all hands that
Chase is the man to take Seymour's
place, but 1t does not appear that
Mr.. Chase has yet been consulted or
signified in any way his willingness to
accept the situation. Our conjecture is
Mr.. Chase will do no such thing, He
made great efforts and great sacrifices
of self-respect to compass the nomina-
tion at the hands of the Convention but,
he has too much respect for himself
and too much shrewd sense to take
this nomination at second hand, to
take 1t on platform upon which he has
declared he cannot stand, and take it
now after the battle has been substan-
TALLY fought and lost. Various gentle
men are talked about for the second
place with Mr.. Chase and the friends of
each threaten If their favorite is not
chosen by the committee to vote for
Grant.
1t is not to be doubted that this
charge offront is seriously urged by a
part of the Democratic managers. We
print the Worlds article of Thursday
preparing the way for the still bolder
advice it gave the Democracy yester-
day. 1t is always a desperate expe-
iient TO charge front in the face OF an
enemy-the more 80 when that enemy
is powerful, vigilant, confident, and
aggressive-still more SO when the
main engagement has been fought and
you are already beaten beyond recov-
cry. After all their lying and brag,
the Democracy by merely talking
about such athIng confess their utter
discontinue. fr'i
Strong as may be the reasons for
Withdrawing Seymour and Blair and
putting on other men, 1t Is our belief
the Democracy will not dare to do it.
It would be utter ruin. 1t would be
total abandonment of the field. Thou
sands, disgusted, would leave the sink
ing ship and come over to Grant. Other
would refuse to come out on
election day. Yet they are already
beaten as it stands. They have but
choice between two modes of death. By
a change now they surely break their
party into fragments. II they let the
ticket alone, the party will break down
any how in November. 1t is Scylla on
the one side and Charybdis on the other,
and no channel between.
And in the lowest deep, lower deep
