the .v'esU York Herald and the
Presidential Election. t.f.

We give below several articles from the
New York Herald, of the dates of the 9Th,
18th and 18th. of August, 1868. We do
this because they are the opinions of
o newspaper violently opposed to Mr..
Seymour, and for the further reason that
Mr.. Benefits sources of information are as
great or perhaps greater than those of any
other newspaper man in the country, and
his unusually strong prejudice against Mr..
Seymour is abundant security that he
would put nothing down to the credit of
the Democratic nominee, that it would be
folly to attempt to smother up. For
these reasons the Herald views are perhaps
important Besides this there are great
many people who think the predictions
of the Herald entitled to great weight,
and to all such we would say, read the fol-
lowing opinions of the Herald, as to the
chances of the Democracy for success, par
ticularly the letter of his Atlanta, Georgia,
correspondent, of the date of the 18th of
August, 1868, as to the political sentiment
in the South, We give the articles with
their headings just as they appeared in the
Herald, SO that they may be taken as q
whole, and SO that the reader may see for
himself the violence with which that paper
opposes Mr.. Seymour, while being compell-
ed to admit that his chances for the Presi-
dency are far better than those of General
Grant. Particularly does he show his ear
nest opposition to the Democratic nominee,
in the article "Poor Pierce and Silly Sey-
mour." Yet while he nicknames the Dem
ocratic candidate, facts and figures speak
out so loudly that with all his hate for the
name he is compelled to admit that rev.
olution has set in which must sweep Repub-
licanism from the face of the nation. Mr.,
Benefits opposition to Seymour has grown
out of some old grudge or other. Perhaps
Mr.. Seymour failed to pay Bennett his
price, or to aid him in some of his pet
schemes, any OF either of which would OF
course insure Benefits opposition. His
whole opposition to Mr.. Pierce grew out
of the refusal of that gentleman, while
President, to give Bennett a foreign APP
pointment. But here are the articles read
them and judge of their merits

A TERRIBLE COUNTER REVOLUTION
200 APPROACHING.
The figures, as they come in from Ken
lucky, are mounting up for the Democratic
majority. The last returns, which we pub
lished yesterday, set down eighty thousand
majority for Stevenson, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, and these returns
represent the country districts, from which
they come in slowly, and will probably
show larger gains, according as they are
received. The result of the June election
in Oregon was quite as remarkable an evil
dence that the people are awake to the null
hilarious mischief which the Radical party
has wrought in. its administration of the
Government. We cannot, therefore, shut
our eyes to the direction of these straws
which show how the wind blows. The
Republican majority in Oregon in 1886
was 1877; the Democratic majority for mem

resents that young State), was, at the cleo
