TmEDEMOCRACYNo NOT DEscoURAsEI

THE DEMOCRACY NOT DEsC0URAGED.
Ii Is our pleasure to chronicle the fact
that the Northern Democracy, buoyed
up by their gains at the recent cleo
ton, are urging on the work Of the can
vass as If fresh in the field and complete
victory had crowned their late glorious
effort. Tie shock administered by the
! proposition to change commanders was
but mome1tsry il its effects. Rank and
fle and leaders are ia full fellowship and
sympathy, and all are marching forward
determined only upon the election OF
SEYMOUR and BLAIR. In view Of the
prestige Of the past, and q knowledge Of
the great work committed 60 ii, It is ina
possible that depression should be al
lowed to sit breeding Over the Demo-
cratic party.
The political organization that polled
ss7 coo out of i 600 votes cast in In
diana, Pennsylvania and Ohio, is not q
party in 60 hopeless q minority as TO be
without hope. Il is true we have an
of5AulAcu Ns@utO@ASm PSSsc9SON " VIC
National and nearly all the State Gov
eruments, controlling twelve hundred
National Banks and 4 host OF bond-
holders, pledged to its support, yet, when
weremember theindonitable pluckofour
Northern brethren, aud realize from
the above figures how nea we came to
victory, fresh courage must spring up
within US, new hope must dawn, and So
revived In heart we must renew our
efforts in the contest. Our leaders are
-sa1guine; our leading organs ara san
gulne. Let US then, move up close to
where the leaders stand, and seeing IS
they see, take courage. The nearer we
approach the enemy the less formidable
he villa appear.

yesterday the committee received a dis
patch from Train announcing his accept
ance of the nomination, and stated he

ment is for purely political reasons.

ia their judgment nothing could be so

OPS FEE uArCaIE RIVER

We are in receipt Of many COM
plants from planters and others residing
along the Hstchie river, On account Of
the distinctions to its navigation by the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad bridge st
Brownsville. Before the war this Com
pany had E drawbridgs across that
stream, which, while it accommodated
the wants OF the road, admitted the pas
sage Of steamboats, Of considerable ca
psci.y, even beyond Bolivar. These
bssts we're a great accommodation to the
planters Of the country, who, removed
some distances from railroad stations,
svaiIed themselves of their frequent
trips 20 ship to Memphis their produce.
and, returning, their supplies. Besides

thriving Memphis and Oaio Railroad that
the present would be a proper ana sDpro-

before the intervention Of the Lsyisla-

THE PLOT to assssslnats President
JOHNSON has been thoroughly investi-
gated and found TO be but q piece of ex
travagant bragadocio on the part OF the
accused, HIMEBUR, magni6ed and per-
hsps embellished By the fears and imsg-
nation Of EVANS, the witness. BY some
timid friends of the President, however,
Il is regarded in g more serious light.
They believe that Z conspiracy really did
exist about the time Of the impeachment,
bat that it failed 10 ripan in time,
and that now all danger is passed,

VIRGINIA.

PETERSBURG, October I9.-In a con
versstion with John Q. Adams, who was
on his way home, he said the Southern
people were az loyal as any people in the
North. The two races he found friendly
disposed toward each other, and the ne
groes were pesceable ilaall cases, except
where they were inciteS or influenced by
carpet-baggers. Nothing was calculated
% DO greater harm than the disfrRnchise-
Bsp5 Of the whites, which vas more ex-
tsnsive than he had any idea of, and II
the people OF the North could see the
condition Of the South, as ne has, recon-
StructioD would scou 20 to the wall. The
negro race ruled the South despotically,
but that could not Las for whsu the
people we're properly appealed TO On that
question, the North would never submit
that ten OF cur best States should be gov
erped by an ignorant and semi b2rbsrous
race. On the subject OF the Presidency,
he said il was too late TO change the cam
didates, and such u movement would
damage the interests Of Democracy. H9
never believed that Mr.. Chase could have
carried toe day against Grant, and GER
tainly nOC nov nor was he thought an
ayailable man in the field, even If time
were eff rled. he eondsmned the plat
form of the Democracy more than the
candidate, and thought the only issue
upon which they should have gone be-
fore the people vas reconstruction. He
considered IL unfaQorable thai such men
az Wade Hampton, Forrest, and men
like them, eve participated in the cam
paigD. He had the best hopes that peace
would be restored, and the question OF
negro domination and consequent ruin
st the South be speedily disposed of. Ere
long we would be living under the Con-
stitutIOn as it was. AS regards his own
chances rs Governor Of Massachusetts,,
he said his nomination was more of 3
compliment to him han anything else,
and that he had no idea Of being elected.
