"2 Negro suffrage has been imposed upon the

ment and 1t cannot exist without n coutinu-

as soon as The Democrats are in power
That is to say, Mr.. Pendleton aud his friends
in this matter comprising, We doubt not,
ninety nine hundredths of the party-are
prepared to do precisely what the Southern
extremists desire. The World protests that,
Gin case OF a domestic insurrection against the
Government of State, the laws make it, the
Presidents duty to aid in its suppression by
the employment of military force" But the
Pendletons of the Democracy overcome the
objection by repudiating the doctrine of the
Supreme Court, and promising to recognizes
only the governments which the Southern
whites may set up by the means indicated.

The programme then, is tolerably we'll de-
fined. Northern Democrats and Southern
Democrats are not very widely separated,
after all. Each section of the party sees its
way to the overthrow of reconstruction, with
out infringing Democratic principles. Another

Clay New York by ten thousand majority and
made him President.
In 1852. on Clay's great compromise
measures on the slavery question, the New
York and national Democracy were set right
side up, as it was supposed, in the election
of poor Pierce. Unfortunately, however, poor
Pierce, under the influence of jeff Davis Mason
and Slidell, and the other leaders of the South
ern oligarchy, forgot his pledges of neutrality,
and became an active slavery propaganda
in the repeal of the Missouri compromise.
The disruption and dissolution of the old Demo
cratic party began from that hour, and it began
in New York. The crime OF that act is written
in all the horrors of the late SOuthe N rebellion
and the blunder is recorded in every Dsmo-
cratic defeat from that day to this. But the
elections OF 1867 brought some CLEANS of Demo-
cratic daylight. New York, indeed, with her
fifty thousand Democratic majority, came up
with a blaze Of sunshine. In behalf Of this
majority her leading Democratic statesmen
and politicians, and the rank and file OF the
party ask for the nomination of Mr.. Chase
Twenty years ago, in New York, and in the
Van Buren, free soil movement as we have
shown, he laid the foundations of the present
Republican party. That work is done, and
to-day, on the new constitutional foundation
of universal liberty and civil equality, Mr..
Chase is free, and be is needed to reconstruct
the Democratic party. On the basis of the
new Constitutional amendment, which may be
regarded a fixed fact he can restore the De-
mocracy to power. On any other tack, and
with any other candidate, they are gone.
Our past elections show that New York is
progressive State and is power in the land.
Her vote secured is a good basis to build upon
her vote lost is the loss of the battle to the
Democracy. If they would secure it from the
start Chase is their man, and the recognition
of the anti-slavery deluge and its changes is
their platform.

stick anoat, an enormous bonus, to-
eether with the exclusive monopoly Of the
transportation of all our foreign mails. This
immense project of private speculation, so un-
Just to all our existing steamship lines, and SO
wildly extravagant in imposing additional bur
thens of public debt upon the masses OF the
people, is, we believe, still pending in the
Senate awaiting a favorable opportunity to be-
pressed through that body This scheme OF
public plunder has never been approached In
extravapance aud exclusiveDess since the ex-
position and wiping out by Democratic ad-
ministration and a Democratic Congress OF the
great Collins subsidy for similar purposes.
It is due to the people that their attention
should be called to these transactions in Con-
gress, and that their outrageous character
sho ould be mercilessly exposed.

Possloie alser the occurrences which have
transpired during fortnight past, that were
conveyed straight to his ears by those who
caused their origin, and who claimed to b4
directly acting in his interest at the time.
Yet it is difficult to set aside the belief that
there IS misunderstanding somewhere, ana
that having been misled heretofore as to the
Presidents real wishes he will, now that be-
knows them correctly, incur no further delay
in relieving his official superior from the EN-.
barrassment attending continuance in his Off
oial household. The conviction that he will
do so is all the more strong from his frequent
and warm proifers to aid the administration
win all the means in his possession, his disinte-
rested wishes for the success of the Presidents
policy, and his openly expressed indignation
at the late attempt OF a Cabinet officer to re-
main in Office in opposition to the wishes of
the Chief Executive. Though he has given
the cCuptry much cause to doubt his ability
for the post he holds, we know of nothing
which brings question of his honor as a man;
and we are therefore unwilling at present to
believe that his past professions were totally
insincere and that he intends to adopt the tao
tics of the shameless Stanton, and follow the
footsteps of that unprincipled trickster to an
1gnominious election from post which it now
lies in his power to vacate with honor to his
sense of delicacy of feeling, however he may
be blamed for maladministratiOn of its affairs.

Congressional Extravaganza and Cor.
ruDtiOn.

From the Washington National IntelIi0encer.
When the record of the acts of the present
Congress comes to be shown, it will be found
to have surpassed any conception of plain
honest men in wasteful extravaganza, in fos-
tering startling frauds, and promoting corrupt
schemes of special legislation for the benefit of
a few favored individuals at the public expense.
While making loud pretensions OF economy in
small things, 1t has been unstinted in lavishing
extraordinary appropriations upon simple par
tisan projects, and in giving Subsidies and en-
dowments with princely generosity to various
schemes of private and individual speculation
AS yet, since the beginning of the Fortieth
Congress, not one single measure has been
perfected for the public benefit All of its
acts have been devoted to partisan or special
legislation. While protesting great concern
for the interests of the working classes of the
people, it has imposed upon the labor of the
country enormously increased burthens for
the benefit of the capitalists and bondholders.
While refusing the poor pittance of twenty
per cent. increase OF pay to the department
employees, it has nearly doubled the pay of its
own members, and the salaries of its own par
ticular servants. While, for the sake of SEEM
ing to be economical, it cuts down the regular
and indispensable appropriations, 80 as to
render unavoidable hereafter a tremendous
deficiency bill in every department of the Gov
ernment, 1t is squaudering hundreds of mil
llODS III alu Ol private bpeculaLlOnS, In the
way of subsidies and land grants, aud special
privileges, whereby a few favorites are en-
abled to realize almost fabulous fortunes at
the expense OF the Government and the tax
burthened people.
1t used to be that the manipulation of such
schemes of private profit was confined to the
lobby, and that they were warily brought for
ward, and at long intervals. Now it appears
that these speculatiOns upon special Congress
siOnal legislation are unblushingly presented
by hundreds, aud it is said that the quondam
business of the lobby has been transferred to
the floors of the two Houses
The number of railroad and steamship en-
terprises of this character, demanding euor-
nous subsidies in Government bonds and land
grants, at moment when the life of the
nation itself is in imminent peril, aud when
the people are absolutely staggering under the
fearful load of debt, is incredible. Among
these there are enumerated over twenty rail
road bills, all providing for extraordinary
subsidies in bonds and land, ard five or six
steamship bills cOnferring unprecedented privi-
leges and extravagant bonuses. One of the
latter has already passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, giving TO Hypothetical

How will the Soldiers Vote!
From the N. Y. Tribune.

pTOWt Tte Az L. II tOWtos
Throughout the war for the Union, the
party which received the vote of every oppo-
nent of that war-every one who deemed it
war of invasion and aggression on the part of
the North-stoutly claimed the rank and file
of our volunteer "Boys in Blue" as recruited
from its ranks, and devoted to its principles.
majority of the officers, it asserted, might be
upholders of the "Lincoln despotism, " but the
men without shoulder-straps were Democrats,
as their votes would prove.
"Then," we suggested "let us unite in so
altering our laws, and our Constitutions, too,
where that shall be necessary, as to enable
every citizen who, during war, shall be neces-
sarily absent from home, whether in camp or
hospital, as a soldier of the Union, to vote as
though he were at home"
Not one single Democratic Legislature closed
with this proposition. New Jersey Indiana,
Illinois, chose Democratic Legislatures in 1862
so their soldiers were rot allowed to vote for
President in 1854 Nearly every Republican
State, with Kentucky and Maryland, then
ruled by earnest UniOnists, enabled their
soldiers to vote in the field. General McClel-
Ian was the Democratic nominee for President
He long commanded the largest of our armies,
and was for a time Generalin- Chief; he
studied to ingratiate himself with his soldiers,
was kind to and popular with them. If he
could not secure their votes, no other man Of
his party could.
In this State the soldiers votes we're so
cast that no one could say how they voted; in
most States, it was otherwise. Here is the
aggregate vote OF the soldiers, in every State
from which we have returns:-

California, and Wisconsin, voted likewise In
'63, as did most OF them in '62 with results sub.
stantially Identical wirh those Exhibited in the
foregoing table of the vote cast in '6i
The soldiers of several States who had not
yet been mustered out of service when their
elections for 1865 occurred respectively voted
again, with results substantially like the fore
going. In no year of the war; was the Repub-
lican vote less than three-fourths of all that
cast by volunteers in service.
Such being the recorded facts, we submit
that the pretense of getting up Convention
OF Union soldiers to oppose the election of
Grant and Colfax surpasses all recognized
bounds of partisan imposture. Not that there
are no good soldiers who dislike and oppose
him-we know there are such but they are
scarce as white blackbirds. The bulk of the
soldier vote against Grant will be cast by Con-
federate, not Union, sOldiers-by the men
whom he defeated, captured, and paroled, and
who have personal reasons for preterring such
antag gOnists as Buell., Franklin, Fitzjohn
Porter, and Mcclellan. ..
If Robert Il. Lee could be induced to unite
in the anti-Grant call and preside over the
Convention when assembled, he would give it
respectability and force; but a Convention OF
Union soldiers to oppose General Grant is too
broad a joke for the season. 1t was wise to
hold it in this bounty jumping city, where all
sorts of meetings can be got up to order if the
proper appliances are used but the honorably
discharged Union volunteers are almost solid
for Grant, as the returns of next November
will prove. A Convention in 1851 of Revolu-
tiopary soldiers to oppose the election Of
General Washington to the Presidency, or OF
defenders of New Orleans in 1928 to defeat
the election OF Old Hickory, would not have
been more preposterous than is the attempt in
1865 to muster an army of Union soldiers in
opposition to the election of General Grant.

Win this gentleman relinquish his place at
the head OF the Treasury Department Under
his own voluntary offer, made some time since,
to place his resignation in the hands of the
President whenever the administration could
thereby be strengthened and the known wish
of Mr.. Johnson to receive it now, 1t does not,
indeed, appear how Mr.. McCulloch can con-
tinue to hold the financial portfolio honOrably
TO himself any longer. Considering the
length of time which has elapsed since he be-
came positively cognizant of the Presidents
desire TO have the post change hands for press
ing reasons referring to the public veal, it is
not easy to understand his present delay in
transmitting his resignation; or his persistent
asseveratons that it is ready whenever the
President is ready for its reception. He claims
that his relations with Mr.. Johnson are cor
dial and harmonious, while the latter has in-
dicated to him, in the most unmistakable
manner, that his presence in the Cabinet is a
bar TO the consummation OF plans that he
holds in contemplation.
That this officer can be in any measure ig-
nOrant of the precise views held by the Presi-
dent in regard to the matter can scarcely be

Mr.. LOngEellOw in England.

From The N. Y World.
1t must have been very gratifying to the
Poet Laureate of England to learn from the
London Telegraph, (the most widely circulated
daily journal of the British metropolis), that
the poem of "Enoch Arden" which he has
for some time enjoyed the credit of compos-
ing, was really written by our own American
bard, Mr.. Lopgfellow, now LII. D., of Cam
bridge, England.
If an American newspaper had announced
that Mr.. Greeley in his address to Mr.. Dickens
at the Press Dinner, in New York, had felici-
tated the illustriOus guest upon those admi-
rable works of his, "The Pickwick Papers, "
''The Scarlet letter. and "David Copper
field" how very much amused our British
brethren would have been by the perform
ance And here comes leading London
journal with this amazing information:-
I'm q few well-rounded Latin sentences the
public orator recited the claims of the distin-
euished visitor TO the privilege of an honorary
degree. The names of 'Hiawatha' and 'Enoch
Arden and 'Evaugeline' sou nded strangely
amid the sonorous periods OF the Latin ora
ton"
If the TelegrapPS correspondent really heard
the name of ''Enoch Arden" on this au 3picious
occasion, it certainly cannot have sounded
more strangely" to him 'amid the sonorous
periods of the Latin oration," than it will to
all the rest of the world ''amid'' his own eff
fusion. Literary fame is commonly believed
to be the most genuine and enduring form of
that potent delusion, the ''bubble reputation" )"
But if it be the soldiers fate, dying for his
country on the field OF glory, as Byron cyni-
cally tells us that it is, to have his name 'mis-
spelled in the gazette" how much pleasauter
can it be for living poets to find that those
who travel a hundred miles to record their
tIiumphs have the most utterly indefinite
notions of them and of their works?
