rHE WORLD AND THE TICKET.

tslegraphed US, and appeared in the
APPEAL Of yesterday. To say that it
| fasolently miscellaneous is NEST htting'y
to characterize the untimely effusion OF 9
Journal that onca before, under the ms
nipulation ct the 5ond-holders, broke up
an effective effort Of the united COnser-
vative element Of the country for peace,
good government, and a lawful recon
siruction Of the United States.
To estimate the damage Inflicted upon
our cause BY this quasi-defectio1 Of the
organ Of the National Central Demo
cratic Committee, one has only to read
the ~chuckiings of shregd Republican
editors, who have greedily caught it up
as 9 morseI fsr more convincing Of vic
tory for their adherents than the uutime-
Nv wall Of the Louisville Courier, or the
expressions Of gloomy ~forebOdipgs toe
readily published by country Democratic
journals.
The World in thus returning TO the bonds
Of iniquity, and in the selection of the
reasons assigned, gives weight the un-
reasonable and malicious letter @. Judge
PIERPoNT and the host Of speakers aud
writers who labor in the interest OF Rad
icslism throughout the country. II en-
durses, implicitly, the Radical miseon-
struction of Gen. BLAIR's letter Of Sc
ceptaEcs, snd gives color Of truth to the
falseho0ds of the enemies Of the South
ard the Union.
With true neutrality-suspicious., that
there is 3 large country beyond the linn
its OF Manhattan and 8 Democratic pop
uIatiOn Of great ssgacity, power and in
fuence, this organ of the CHASE faction
attempts, in the irfiusHce of those who
could not control the National COaven-
ton, to direct the great Democratic
party into the channels prepared for it
before the Convention net by those who
originated the CHASE movement last
summer. 1t seeks, with such impudent
effronteFy as characterized its lead in the
breaking down of the Philadelphia Con-
sentative movement in 1856, in pursuit Of

united mGneyed circle, to control the
Democratic party, and force 1t into sub.

indignation and death. And this, by
the desertlon of the men selected by the
party as The leaders under whom 1t Is safe
to rally in defeDse of the Constitution,
the Union, and the maintenance Of the

OF what avail are The hearty werds, in
support OF the d-oWn-troddsn South,

springing up everywhere in the south as
the offspring Of Radical rule?
Without damaging the Democratic
party more than by the inalction OF .
mumentary shock, the World has loos-

raey.
Democrats may justly cherish sn
honorable pride il the vigor, courage,
steadiness, loyalty to principle and pa.
triOtism Of the great party which has
made 50 gallant a fight ia the 0c.ober
elections, considering that two or three
years sgo the Democratic party was pro-
claimed dead 10y its opponents that
every Republican newspaper predicted
for 1t the fate Of the old Federal party,
after the last Wal with England con-
siderirg that Congress and all the State
governments were controlled by its bit
ter foes that it was O~yer6orns By cal
umnies; that It's statesmen were buried
In the cbscurity Of private life, and that
four Rftbs Of the most widely CIRCULATED
Journals have daily labOTed 20 bring it
into disrepu,s and odium. Considering
all these adverse and depressing c;rcum-
stances, it is q signal proof OF enduring
vitality that tia psrty has been able, in
toe late elections, to cOntest every inch
OF ground against It's opponents, and 10
spite OF their most strenuous efforts, 10
come within g few votes Of beating them
10 an enormous poll Of many hundred
thousand.
"IndiRna We have either redeemed
from the Republicans, or came 80 near it
that there Is scarcely any perceptible
margin in the strength of the two par
ties, although tks Republicans had g
large majority In that State, and
although it is the home OF their candid
ate for Vics-President, one OF the most
popular men in the party. In PenDsyl-
vania we have carrisi the chief city,
next to New York the most populous in
the country, snd q change OF q few thou
sand votes would have given US lha
State. 10 Ohio the Republican majority
is but a trife, compared with what il
used to be 3 few years ago. For a party
thai was confidently and jeerlngly pro-
nounced dead, this il q very handsome
sholg.
"But our gains were not so great as
the party desired or deserved. Inquiring
why, having come 80 near success 10
these elections, We have just missed it,
two reasons sppesr, 10 the Absence OF
either Of which our triumph would have
been certain. These reasons are such e.
to show that q majority Of the people are
really on our side, and have been re-
PEELED from our support by things hav-
ing no proper connection with the
merits of the csnYsss. If the military
prestige Of Gen. Grant had been out
Of the scale, we should have been sue
cessiul or, that remaining, If the Ger.
versions Of Gen. Rlair's position had
been out of the scale, we should have
~suses~ded, 1t would be paying 3 poor

tto the judgment Of the party that
