Hon. James l.. Orr, of South Carolina.
who was one of the most influential national
leaders of the Democratic party before the
war, has recently stated at length his rea
sons for joining the Republican organiza-
ton and avowing his intention of acting
with it in future. His leading idea is that,
as the new citizens Of African descent will
rule the State under any circumstances,
and as they cannot be seduced from the
party that has given them liberty and poit-
ical rights, the only course left to retain an
influence in governmental affairs is to join
their ranks, and to prove by this formal
surrender of old Democratic theories that
no attempt will be made to revive them.

the most needful and salutary legislation, put
on the statute book enactments 80 monstrous
in principle, and so corrupt and wicked in
purpose, that the disgust and alarm of honest
men caused by it at home was even surpassed
by that excited abroad. This statutory
iniquity, which impelled foreign nation,
speaking the same tongue and following max
inns of law and morals nearest resembling our
own, to send hlther q commission to remon-
strate against 80 obvious breach of our own
laws and professions, on the faith of which it
had made large investments among us, owes
all its efficiency to the official approval of the
Governor elected by the same party, and pro-
posed for nomination again.
The wrongs and injuries suffered and threat
ened by reason of unclean legislation, fraudu-
lent elections, abuses of public trusts, waste
of the public property, squandering OF the
public money, free rum, and sectarian schools,
will occupy the public mind in the coming
canvass and impel it to seek relief In the
present and security for the future by the
peaceful mode provided by law. The policy
and the candidates of Tammany and its Ring
will secuted by the people; and all arts will
fail to substitute Holden for Hoffman, or
Kirk and Bergen for Tweed and Sweeny.I

OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOyERYoR.

For some days prior to the assembling of
the Republican State Convention at Saratoga,
the Tammany organs (unblushing and blush
ing alike) in our City were somehow imbued
with the notion that Horace Greeley would be
nominated for Governor. of course, they
were moved to characterize him as the
worst possible selectiOn-sure to be beaten
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES than any other
possible candidate could be. The Sun went so
far as to stigmatize him as the Rings candi-
date, put up, through Tammany's manipula-
ton, expressly to insure HOffman's reelection.
His foreordained nomination was triumphantly
cited as proof that the Republican managers
and wire workers did not want to succeed.
The Convention may or may not have been
affected by these representations, but it sorely
disappointed their authors by nominating Gen
| STEWART L. WooDFoRD. Instantly the tune
is changed, and these same organs in chorus
declare that Greeley was the strongest man to
head the ticket, while WoodfOrd is weak as
water-can't run at all-was only put up to be
| beaten-that his nomination is virtual sur
| render, &c, &c.
Don't believe a word of it! Whether they
were false before, are false nOw or both, we
assure our rural friends that W0ODFORD and
KAUFMAN will gain enough on GriswOld's
vote in the two Counties of New-YOrk and
Kings to elect them-leaving all their gain in
the other fifty-eight Counties for majority. Gen.
WOOdfOrd will take part in the canvass and those
who have been misled to distrust his ability will
oblige us by hearing him. We should be glad
to hear that he and Hoffman will speak TO
the same audiences at ten or twelve central
points, and let the people judge between them
We venture the assurance that, if MI. Hoffman's 3
friends shall express wish for joint speak
ing, they will be accommodated.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

When Napoleon, ON a fimsy pretext, declared
war against the North German Confederation
the sympathies of nearly all free people were
instantly enlisted on the side of Prussia,
because the declaration was so evidently
unjust, and because the real objects
of the Emperor clearly were to con-
solidate his own family interests, to
establish Cssarism, and to prevent the unity
of the German nation. The interests of the
Bonapartes have always been in opposition to
popular rights and national progress in France
quite as much as in other parts of Europe,
while the unity of Germany is one of the
most important steps in popular progress
which Europe has witnessed during the
present generation. But the considera-
tiOns which influenced the sympathies OF the
United States at first are fast giving place to
others. The conditions are changed. Caesar
ism is overthrown. The Bonapartes have
fallen for a second time, and their fall we
trust is forever. German unity is secured.
German liberty we hope is not far off,
The victOrs can afford to be magnanimOus,
and if they press too severely upon the
vanquished they may lose the good will
which is now enlisted on their side,
and transfer it to the gallant but un-
fortunate Republic which is striving 10
build itself up amidst the ruins of
the bastard Empire. The moderate and
pacific declarations made by Count Won
Bismarck to our correspondent just before
the fall of Sedan were gratifying indi-
cations of the temper of the Prussian Govern
ment, but it is by no means certain that the
moderation which prevailed on the eve of
battle will be preserved on the norrow of the
triumph. If this war should become a contest
between the French Republic fighting for in
dependence and territorial integrity, and the
house OF Hohenzollern Sighting for the pos
session of French provinces, our sympathies
must turn as decidedly towards the side of
France as they are now turned towards the
side of Germany.
| We do not believe, however, that this ia to
be a war of conquest. The Germans have
shown no disposition to encroach upon their
neighbors, and the aggressive policy of Prussia
has not been directed against foreign territory.
but towards the consolidation or absorption of
New-York tribune., 1870-09-10

Victor Hugo has written an address to the
Germans which, with all Difference to the Illus
trious patriot and poet, we must call preemi-
nently absurd. He bids them pause and think
before they move upon the City of Paris to
slaughter its people soul by soul, and overturn
its walls and houses stone by stone. Paris will
resist to the last man, and if the Prussians ever
get into the capital they will find nothing but
corpses. 1t is beginning to be pretty clear,
however, that there is no such furious and
headlong spirit of resistance in France as
everybody expected that the Germans must
encounter on their march to the Seine, and as
Europe encountered in trying to put down the
first revolution. Whether eighteen years of
CRsarism have enervated the French ma
ton, or the progress of intelligence
has made them more reasonable, we do not
care to inquire; but in few days we have
no doubt they will be as eager for peace as
six weeks ago they were for war. AT any
rate, what reason has Victor Hugo to suppose
that Paris will fight longer than Sedanf

The erection of Gshbreeding establish
ment, which would be at the same time q
unique museum, was urged upon the Central
Park Commissioners two years ago; but little
attention was paid to the suggestion, although
the cost of the proposed buildings was insig-
nifcant, and the feasibility of the project was
argued by Mr.. Ainsworth, DR.. Slack, and
other practical fish-farmers. The New-York
Commissioner of Fisheries is now moving
in the matter, and we hope will sue
ceed in enlisting the attention of the Commits
sioners who are now intrusted with the work
of identifying the Park. That the project is
feasible is clear to the few who have any
practical knowledge of fsh-farming; and if
the direction of the establishment Is confided
to such persons, NewYork may have in few
years one of the most beautiful, interesting,
and inexpensive museums in the world.

purely Uerman STATES. lneI Cdu5o WIS just
at the beginning of the war, and we do not
believe that they are going to take up an un-
just cause at the moment of victory. The de-
mand of the French that they shall instantly
evacuate the country is of course absurd. France
is bound to make satisfaction for the misery
and loss which she has caused by this unpro-
voked war, and to offer guarantees that peace
shall not be broken again. Until these cOndi-
tions are fulfilled, it is vain to cry Halt"
At the beginning it was not her war, but
the Emperor's. She makes it hers, how
ever, by continuing the contest when she
ought to sue for peace, and, besides, she COM
mitted herself in advance to whatever the En-
peror might do when she cast the shameful
vote for the plebscitum. Germany, therefore,
has a right to assume that the France OF
Trochu and Jules Favre is identical with the
France of Napoleon and De Gramont, and to
press ON towards Paris until her legitimate de-
mands are satisfied.
II is in confining these demands to mod
crate dimensions that the cOnquerors have
now the opportunity of winning moral VIC
tory still more glorious than their trlumphs LII
the field They have chance to prove that
the professions with which they entered into
the contest were sincere; that they are not
the enemies of the French people, and have
no desire to destroy q neighbOring State.
What precise form the guarantees and In
demnity which may fairly be required ought
to take, we do not stop here to inquire !;
but we think the time has come
for neutral Powers to interpose their
friendly offices to stop the further raw
ages of war, and dispose both parties to
an honorable peace. Both, we believe, are at
heart ready for cessation of hostillties.
Prussia cannot be expected to make overtures
while France is haughtily bidding her be-
gone home, and clustering of war
as boldly as if she had never been
beaten. France cannot make official
proposals of surrender without the risk OF
another political revolution and the overthrow
of the Republic which now opens with so
much promise. Friendly intervention at
this moment may easily be effective,
and can hardly fail to be welcome. Our
own Government was the first to
congratulate France upon the establish
ment of the Republic: we shall be glad to see
it also the first to urge upon Germany mode
ration and justice in the hour of victory, and
to secure for the vanquished honorable and
easy terms. There are no diplomatic cOmpli-
cations to embarrass our action. We are on
terms of the closest friendship with Germany.
Our motives for interposing cannot be mis-
understood, and our representations will un-
doubtedly carry weight The President is right
in deciding that our traditional policy OF non
Intervention fOrbids our acceptance OF any
invitation to an international Congress; but
in friendly and informal way our influence
may be brought to bear in behalf of peace,
and for the benefit of the gallant people for
whose misfortunes we feel so deeply, and In
whose future we take so warm an interest.

The Sun asserts that Horace Greeley asked
from his party a nomination for Governor. IL
this means no more than that he did not de-
cline nomination which had not been offered,
it may pass but, in its literal import, it is
contrary to the truth. Mr. Greeley never asked
to be supported for Office by any party or any
person whatever. And he trusts that he may
never be insulted by the tender of any ap-
pointment or nomination made in Difference to
his supposed claims" or services, or wishes,
or expectations. If he may not balance by
accepting the favor conferred by nominating,
he chooses to retain his place in the ranks, and

The full text of Castellar's speech, delivered
yesterday at Madrid, congratulating the Re
public of France, and repeating the demand
uttered few days ago for the formation of
"The United States of Europe" will be read
with not less interest than was given to his
late speech on Spanish Emancipation. Cas-
tellar is now the recognized leader of po-
litical party which may suddenly become the
controlling power of Spain by a revolution as
startling and complete as that which has
freed and renewed France.
