A Republican cotemporary wants to
know if, in view of the recent elections,
the Democrats see the handwriting on
the wall ~ Precious few of them could
read it if they did.
Seymour clearly ought TO be permitted
to withdraw. He said that his nomination
was against his own wishes, and the people
have said that his election is against their
wishes. Both parties being willing, why
not not let him go?
One of the local candidates 7esterdav
asked an Irishman, with whom he We.
drinking, to vote for him. "Vote for We
in conrse 1 will but what for do We be
asking me to vote for ye. Voting will do
ye no good. Yes on the wrong ticket for
that; yez can't get enough O. them" That
Irshman had heard from Indiana and Ohio.
A good many of the Copperhead papers
are screaming against the folly of changing
front in the face of the enemy-just as #
that were new thing for the Democracy
to do. The front of Democrat was thing
which few of the enemy saw during the
whole course of the rebellion. 1t was in
variably turned toward Canada.
The Democracy have finally come to the
unanimous determination to stick by Sew
mour and Blair. They have given up all
hnpa Of rrinuinnr ba al IL Al
any other candidates, but, like the starving
Individual who had neither food nor money,
they have determined to draw up to the
table and go through the motions. Think
of the Blairs at such ghostly feast!
A Republican journal says the general
stupidity of the Democracy hasn't even the
quality OF newness or FRESHNESS about it.
Of course that criticism was made prior to
the recent faur pas of the Democracy iu-
volving the withdrawal of Seymour and
Blair. Since the failure of that ATTEMPT no
journal of penetration will assert that the
stupidity Of the Democracy is wanting
either in newness or freshness. 1t has set
the whole world a laughing.
From the New York Herald
GAME TO THE LAST.
1t is reported from Washington that
President johnson is ready to relieve Sew
mour as the Democratic candidate and
thinks the change would be good move.
What pity they have not little Of John
sons pluck among the bloated boadholders
Of the Manhattan Club!
From the Chcago Republican,
'No true Democrat will blanch now"
says a Democratic organ. To blancb is to
whiten, according to our dictionary. Is it
possible that we are to hear no more about
white mans government p
The Democratic Round Table abandons
the hope OF the success of its party next
month. 1t charges the leaders of It's party
with having cut its partys throat deiiber-
ately. Hence its party, the Democratic
party, mast be dead.
The Boston Post says there is but one
more step for faltering Democratic papers
at this particular crisis in the condition OF
''the indOmitable Democracy and that is
ito join the Radicals" 1t is certainly the
best thing they can do.
The New York Commercial says: SIN this
juncture, when the bewildered Democrats
turn to Chase and Hancock aad Andrew
johnson, and solicit each in turn to 90 to
the front, Mr., Montgomery Blair, with the
intense egotism of the family. scorns
the suggestion that my brother" should
withdraw, and thinks that Seymour should
be dropped and Frank sent to the head.
Let the ticket be made up entirely ofBlairs
and see what would come of it."
IFrom the St Louis Democratl
We like a good hit, even if our own
friends suffer The following from South
ern Democratic paper must make even old
Ben himself laugh:
"Below will be found what is deemed IA
proper text from which to preach the funer-
al sermon Of Ben Butler: From jeremiah
ill. 10: And the basins, and the flrepans,
and the bowls, and the chaldrons, and the
and the spoons, and the cups;
that which was of gold, in gold, and that
which was of silver, in silver, the captain
of the guard took away"
Colonel H. A. Smalley, of New York
city, son of Judge Smalley, of Vermont,
a leading Democrat of that State, has re-
nounced Democracy and will support
Grant.
The type founders are preparing keeled

The Democratic newspapers on the fourth
Of November.
And now comes Henry S. Foote, once
Governor of Mississippi, an ex-rebel Sena-
tor, who is terrified at the handwriting of
Tuesday, and wants to "climb down" He
goes for Grant and Colfax.
Already several Southern journals de-
nounce John Quincy Adams as milk-and-
water man, "but title better than rank
Radical" One journal says they "are
neither Hindoos nor Hottentots, to be
talked to like children"
