THE STATE OF PARTIES-THE DEMO
CRATIC CHANCE.
From the N. Y. Herald.

From the ~ Y. Herald.
The Democrats are in power now in this
State for the first time in many years. The
election of Seymour during the war was q
spasmodic declaration of dissatisfaction with
the way in which the great contest was carried
on, and that single term must be looked upon
as an accidental lapse in an exclusion that
dates far beyond it. Considering the rapidity
with which events follow one another in this
age, the experience that is crowded in little
time, and the readiness with which, in our
political system, the people can express their
appreciation of party conduct by complete
change of administration, it must be con-
ceded, first, that the long exclusion of the
Democracy from power indicated deep dis
like of the conduct of that party and distrust
of its PROMISES and second, that the final
acceptance of a Democratic administration,
despite that deep dislike and distrust, shows
the existence of the highest degree of popu-
lar disgust with the other party. We find,
therefore, that we are, politically, at state
OF dead low water. The people have small
faith In either party. Utterly disgusted with
the Republicans, extending a very timid con-
fdence to the Democrats, they have trusted
the latter in the hope that long period for
penitence and reflection may have shown
them the necessity of acting on their good
ebhavior.
1t is very plain what should be the primary
thought with the party that has attained
power in such circumstances. 1t has the
future to great degree in its hands. Party
expediency itself must, then, suggest the
necessity of governing well; for If it then
makes wise use of its opportunity it will regain
the popular favor, and may keep it indeh-
nitely. This seems to have been perceived
by the Tammany leaders in the late entrance
to power of the party in this State. They

reorganization of our city government. They
saw that as misrule was most evident here
as the results of bad legislation were mos,

we were governed-that an honest recon.
struction of our municipal government was o
! good starting point. Hence their proposed

RECEPTION OF SEWARD.
From the N. Y. World.


A scurrilous morning sheet in this city
which, amid its vulgar ribaldry upon good
men, deifes Stanton as a political saint, and
would have had Fitz John Porter hung, for
no other reason than that the Lincoln admin
Lstration needed political victim to divert
attention from its crime of removing
Mcclellan from command of the army and
elevating Pope-was touter for a public recep-
zion to MIR. Seward by the city authorities.

new Charter. Az we understand it, they
offered that to the party as a proposition,
and were disposed to let party wisdom
and spirit act upon it, looking upon
no one point as essential save the great point
of Democratic principle that gave the gov
ernment of the city into the hands of the
people of the city. With this laid down as n
cornerstone they seemed fairly at the foun
dation of their structure. But discord came
among the builders, and where there is not
harmony in such labor there is but little pro-
gress The same marpot that sought to
destroy the Democratic unity for Seymour on
the eve of the Presidential election adopted
not dissimilar course with regard to the pre-
sent efforts of the party leaders, and for pri-
vate feud or spite sought to distract and pre-
vent the attempts of the recognized leaders to
do what they deemed wise for the good of the
party. Its efforts in this way have evidently
failed and come to naught, and its astonish-
ing endeavors to make sensation end in
contemplate disaster, since it is pretty clear
that the differences between members of the
Legislature from which it caught its hint are
reconciled.
1t is to be hoped that the Democracy, from
such an incident, may see the necessity for
circumspection, and will be the more cautious
and conciliatory in view of such evidence,
that free lances of every sort-theSSunscrupu

lose no opportunity to make capital out of
their little differences. They have no dis
tance to give if they expect to make their
success in New York the basis of an attempt
to secure the country in 1872. There is, it is
true, some sign of division among the Re-
publicans, but it is not to be forgotten that
this party has a rallying point in General
Grant. 1t is great piece of political capital
for any party to possess national man. Grant
has not shown himself much of a politician
SO far; neither did he for long while much
overtop the average of men as a soldier He
has the better part of his term before him
He has his war history, and he may have
magnificent financial story to lay before the
country ere his time runs out With these
points in favor of the Republicans, the Demo-
cracy must make wonderfully good use of
its control of the Empire State to give its
national contest much promise.
