and fifty majority, becomes matter
Of some Significance. How are we
to account for this Republican gain
in this District since. last October :?
The true explanation, we think, may
be given in one word-Pendleten.
Since the Ohio October election, the
Democrats of that State and of all
the Northwest have been shouting
the 9lories of Pendleton and pro-
claiming him the pre-ordained stand
ard-bearer, embodiment, and ex-
FOUNDER of the party for the next
Presidency. And who is this i'm
maculate Pendleton He is, per-
haps, the best living representative
of the principles and policy pursued
by the Northern Copperhead peace
faction during the late rebellion.
Upon his record he was most signal
ly swamped in Ohio in 1864, as a
man of the same political type and
stripe as Vallandigham; and now in
1868, when the Democrats trot him
out again, the people of Ohio avail
themselves of the first opportunity
to repudiate him. The best thing
that Mr.. Pendleton can do, therefore
is to follow the example of Horatio
Seymour by formally and positively
Withdrawing from the Presidential
contest

Grant and the Democracy.

No Transformation was ever more
remarkable than that which has
transmitted the views and feelings
of the Democracy in reference to
General Grant. Three months ago
every Democratic journal in the
land was filled with praises of the
great soldier; now every one OF
them are baying in his track like a
pack of blood hounds. The change
is evidence of the disappointment
which has come over them on dis
covering that Grant is not with
them as they had fondly hoped that
he would be. They knew that if
Grant became the Republican Pres
idential candidate they would have
to abandon all hope of success.
They were led by the reticence of
the General, which we have all along
criticised as unwise and excessive.
to hope that he might refuse to
stand on asRadical platform. Now
that he has fully declared his SEN
timents and sympathies the viru-
lence of their attacks attests the
Overwhelming nature of their dis
appointment.-G Gereland Leader.

THAT moderate, conservative pa
per, the N. Y. Evening Post, re-
marks as follows upon the shallow
cunning trick which President John
son tried to play upon Gen. Grant:
"Mr. johnson wanted Grant, it
seems, to lock the War Office door
against Stanton. Why, then, did
he not order Grant to do SO Mr.
johnson knew very well that pas
sage in the Tenure Of Office act
which Furnishes with fine and i'm
prisonment any one who resists its
enforcement. Had he ordered
Grant to keep the War Office doors
shut, Mr.. Johnson would have yio-
lated the law and subjected hir self
to its penalties. Therefore, with
what will seem to every honorable
man not a very creditable cunning,
he did not order Grant to do so, but
tried to entrap him into promise
to do 80 on his (Grant's) own ac-
count" -''.-its' 70 -ts1F'@ ] e-

The Cincinnati Enquirer does not
like the Supreme Court decision on
the Georgia Mississippi cases. 1t
says: 'at ='.i re 's 5
The decision will not be satisfac-
tory to the country or the people,
and no one in reading it can escape
the conclusion that the Supreme
Court has evaded one of its highest
and most responsible duties, and that
too, out Of servile Difference to re-
volutionary party, by which it has
become terrorized and degraded.
A short time since, in expectation
of a decision that the Reconstruct
ion laws are unconstitutional, it
chanted the praises of the Supreme
Court. Now it twists its mouth to
a different tune. Then the Court
was the perfection Of human wis
dom and judicial dignity; now it

the use of such dangerous lamps in

NTr- VaIlandigilasn- .--
The New York World, the chief
Democratic Journal in the United
States, concludes lengthy leader
on Mr.. Vallandigham as follows:
But this reckless demagogue had a
more ample store of .pent-up ven
geance against the Democratic par
ty. He wanted to be elected United
States Senator; and the success of
competitor, Judge Thurman, fills
him with rage and envy. When
Thurman was put in one scale, and
Vallandigham in the other, it was
like weighing a genuine coin against
one fabricated of base metal. Its
lightness caused it to kick the beam,
although it had passed through the
mint Of martyrdom and bore astamp
which wonld have given currency to
a piece having intrinsic value: A
counterfeit coin is not only bad
thing in itself, but it brings suspicion
and discredlt on the genuine. 1t is
time this base piece were nailed to
counter. Judas Iscariot was for a
long time tolerated among the disci-
piles, although it was known that he
had devil; but we do not read that
the association was continued after
his open cooperation with the par
ty of crucifers. The defeat in the
Eighth District of Ohio can be very
well borne if it enables the Demo-
cratic party to fling off this viper.
Vallandigham is an active, rest
less politician Of small calibre, who
fancied that when Burnside's court
martial had banished MIN beyond
the rebel lines, his political fortune
was made. Had he been man of
capacity and solid merit, the Demo
cratic party Of the whole country
would have recognized the claims OF
persecnted patriot. But persecu-
ton can not raise man above his
| natural level. It can neither ex
pand narrow intellect, nor give
generosity to the selfish heart, nor
inspire respect for vulgar charac-
ter. A man who attends Democrat
ic conventions and CRATES his teeth
and swears he will be revenged on
the party if it does not accept him
as its leader, is notvery likely to win
more consideration than belongs to
his talents and virtues. When he so
arrogantly blows his own trumpet,
nobody feels, bound to set forth the
claims of modest merit The dis
proportion between his prctentions
and his faculties inspire more or
less disgust i'll men who would other
wise be glad to award him all he
justly claims; and they are more
likely to under estimate than over
value what is so pretentiously thrust
forward to challange criticism. II
