figures which the World is endeavoring TO
uddle, we discover another cause.-The De-
mooratic increase over the vote Of 1857 was
but SO, $40, while the Republican increase was
fully "a, 240. A comparison under such cir-
cumstances is evidently distasteful to the
World; IL prefers to glance at the vote Of 1866,
for with that as a basis Democracy turns out
an increase OF 81, 295, and Rspublioanism only
20, 100, making the Democratic percentage
1O'7 and the Republican IL
From all of which the World is led 10 re-
gard the result of the late election as little
short of Democratic triumph and the GER
tain presage of an unquestioned victory on
November Sd. An uDsopkistioated arithme-
ticisn might suppose that the World hoped to
see this result brought about in the ordinary
way by the lapse of time, the votes of the two
parties continuing to increase at the relative
rate of one hundred and seven Democrats to
every seventy Republicans, which would
bring us into the Democratic millennium as
soon as the total vote of the State reaches a
round million. But this system of arith-
metical progression is altogether too slow for
the World, and SO it proposes to swell the
Democratic masses on the geometrical prin-
ciple, by proselytipg three Republicans in
each election division in the State, between
this time and the Sd of November. This pro-
cess looks very sim pie, and the World naively
asks: "Why cannot it be doneG" We do not
wish to discourage such fond hopes, and will
confess that perhaps it may be done. But in
what occupation does the World expect the
working men of the Republican party to be
engaged while the unterrif ID are at their
proselyt ting task? The answer to this query
quite knocks the mathematical wind out of
the World, and leaves its figures in very
shaky condition. First, the World cried out
that all was lost unless Seymour and Blair
should be suppressed. Then, finding that
nothing of the kind could bs done, it called
out Justify for the reserves. To this appeal
Andrew Johnson alone responded; and now,
with the same ruin staring them in the face
that confronted them on the morning Of
October 14th, they beg that only three Repub-
licans in each election division shall turn
about and desert their colors just after one
grand victory and on the eve of another !!
This is the latest and most unique Chow to
carry Pennsylvania for the Hampton D emo-
cracy. Let the true men of the State stand
firm and all will be well.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

''F; or, Branded at the walnut.
Last evening a crowded audience was in at
tendance at the Walnut Street Theatre to wit
ness the first performance OF q new play
announced as sensational and dramatic"
divided into the standard number of five acts,
and christened with the taking title of n; or,
Branded We were present amid that throng
of spectators for the purpose OF giving
our readers some idea OF what the new
drama Is like, ana We are mortified
at being obliged to confess that we feel
utterly incompetent to the task OF writing
criticism upon It, When we left the theatre
we had faiht glimmering OF an idea as TO what
IL was all about, but in attempting to arrange
our thoughts Tor the purpose of putting them
on paper our impressions and recollections
have become so muoh mixed that we fear We
will be utterly unintelligible If we endeavor to
anaIyze ana dissect the performance In regular
critical style. One strong point the play has,
and that is unfathomab.eness; and we are
almost ready to wager our best Sunday hat
that the man who wrote 1t cannot himselftell, In
a plain, straightforward. aud understandable
manner, what 1t all means. In this respect the
new drama is unrivalled. We have seen pieces
before that required considerable amount OF
mental exertion TO disentangle the plot. but the
thing could generally be done If we only
brought all our FACULTIES to bear upon II with
resolule det termina ion to succeed, but This time
we are bafned. defeated, and completely at
fault the author of has propounded a dra'

the horse, representing that the animal
had been killed by fast riding. One OF

Well, sir, please state to the Court

DURING the war Of the rebellion, the
Democracy were divided into n wal

faction fought desperately against the
Government ; the other-the Northern
or copperhead faction opposed the

so were q peace faction. So long as the
rebellion lasted the Republicans were q
war party. Now, the rebellion being
crushed out and most Of the seeded
States restored, they are for peace,
