The Democracy ROused.

From the Boston Post.
What has occurred since the October cleo
tion has done good rather than harm for the
Democratic cause, If we are to Judge by the
vigorous renewal by the Democrats of their
purpose to redeem the country. They are no
more stirred by the unnatural shoutings of
half beaten foe than by their untirng ca
lumny. They 60 forward hopefully to hold
up their banners, on which are inscribed the
great promises of the country's future. Un-
faltering, uLdismayed, they breast the storm
OF noisy opposition, confding in their cause,
devoted to their faith in free government, re-
solved to rid the country of all forms of
tyranny, and believing that such principles as
theirs are sure to stand every test and trial TO
the triumphant end.
The little that is yet to be overcome in order
to secure victory excites to encouragement
alone. Only one vote in seven hundred and
fifty in Indiana. One in a hundred and forty
in Pennsylvania. reduction already OF the
radical majority of As, 600 in Ohio to Is, 900.
gain OF three Congressman in the latter
State, of one, and perhaps two, in Indiana,
and of two or three in Pennsylvania. The
fifteen thousand radical majority in Indiana
reduced to doubtful eight hundred. In the
last Presidential election the Ohio Democrats
rallied eighteen thousand stronger for McClel-
Ian than at the October election. If they do
near SO well this year Ohio will give her cleo
toral vote for Seymour and Blair.
These are some of the en-
couraging facts. That the Democracy are
still able to make sturdy fight Colfax him
self is ready to admit; he says that this has
been the severest political contest ever fought
in Indiana. Pennsylvania was carried by the
open importation of paid voters from New
York, while honest naturalzed citizens of
Philadelphia, Germans and Irish, were turned
away from the polls by the officers of a radical
city government That government was
changed in the recent election, and those cti-
zens will have their rights in November. The
New York voters will likewise be kept at home
So that, with persistent exertion on the part
of the Democrats, and by keeping their orga-
nization solid and streng, it is probable that
Pennsylvania, on fair poll, will cast her vote
for the Union and the laws.
The addresses Of the several State Central
Committees-of Connecticut, New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and lllinois-testify
to the new rising Of the Democracy for final
effort. The appearance Of our distinguished
candidate himself in the field at this critical
| hour puts fresh hope and courage into every
| heart. His words at the close of the campaign
are 80 many telling blows against radicalism.
| His mastery speeches are answered only with
base calumnies, by journals whose faculties for
| argument are paraly zed by the overwhelming
force of his plain statements and calm reason
ing. Horatio Seymour just at this time Is a
host in the face of the radical army. Well
may the masses who hang ON his temperate aud
statesmanlike words cry ont when he is done,
''Thank God we have a candidate who can
talk I" Some of the radical papers sneeringly
reply to them that the Office of the Executive
ls not to speak but to act. Their partisan
satire insults a free people. II is their own
usurping party that has sought to take the
last vestige of constitutional power from the
President, even to the extent of preventing
him from deposipg Office holders who are
