Tie cause Of the Ohio reverse-Wa:
the misfortune OF the d!ciination OF
! General ROsecrans, and the substitution
of Mr.. PendIe:on by the State Centra
/ Committee. By this move the Demo
cracy OF the State were forced to assume

country with an enormous issue of ire

Mr. Pendleton stands to-day by the
side Of Seymour. Of New York, as one
of the purest and ahlest of our public
men. It is pleasure to think that
whatever their chances for the Presi-
dency may .be-they are still active aud
influential members of the Democratic
party, and that we shall, in our next
National Convention, have the. benefit
Of their distinguished counsel, for it Is
idle to conceal from ourselves, whatthey
certainly do not conceal from their own
Iminds, that they are no longer in the
immediate line of Democratic preferment
This defeat in Ohio disposes of AIr
Pendleton for the present as eiiectually
as the defeat last November disposed o
Mr. .Seymour.-[L Louisville Courier Jour

It is again demonstrated that the
Democracy is powcrless for good, thai
we can never rescue the Government
from the hands OF Radicaiism as long as
that party cings to dead issues. The
warts ended: slavery is dead; recon
!atructioD shows the Radical policy is al
accomplished fact; and if the Demo
cratic party expects to beat back corrupt
ion and fauaticism it must make cleaI
sweep OF the delusiOns, start afresh, de
termning to bear in patience what i
can not mend, and to lend hand K
every honorable plan to lift cur beloved
Ic0untTy from its present depth of deg
radiation. It may cost many q pang
sharp and narrowing to pat forever from
tus the word Democracy and TO give
up old ideas deeply ingrained in every
fiber and ligment of our hearts, Bu
the preservation ofthe Constitution and
the great interests of the country de
mand that the National Democracy
should make that sacrifice which the
historic Democracy of old Virginia anC
the once uncOnquerable Democracy o
Mississippi and Texas have made and
by which they will yet be restored tC
their ancient pride and power. Ole
fogies, fogyism, worn-out theories anC
leXplOded d0gmas must be discharged
jgive way to men full of strength, vigoi
and elasticity, and who know the want:
iof The country, now SO entirely different
10 the wants of other days. The result
tof the recent elections will help the
peopleto learn the important lesson
chat it is fOliy TO cling, wi tn blind devo-
lion, to the past, and to fight against
progress and destiny.-[ Memphis Ava
