Lost Opportunities.

The result of the late elections in
Rev Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Connecticut should convince every.
body-if, indeed, any one was skep-
teal OH that point that the Liberal
Republican movement (so-called)
has no depth OF heigh:-no breadth,
no diameter -uo circumference no
body. If there had been any homes
ty OF purpose, any truth, any patri-
otism, in the Liberal Republicans,
the honest, Constitution Democ-
racy OF the States above named
would have carried tine reca n eli G.
tions with the greatest ease, and
by large majorities. 1t is true, that
the Republicans have lost i'll their
majorities, but while this IS the case,
it is also true that Democracy has
not gained.
If there had been any honesty in
the Liberal Republicans if they
had been sincerely opposed to Grant
OH account Of the corrupt admin
iStratiOn of the GOvernmen.-the
recent elections in the abOve-named
States were their golden cpportu-
nj les" to show their hands, ami
give evidence of their strength-tO
show to Grant that they held the
"bslance of power" and could de-
feat him.
But right here il occurs to us
that the L. RS may lave thought
they were acting with the usual
adroitness and shrewdness of poll
ticians in refusing to "come out from
among the foul party" and voting
for the Democratic candidates. in
order TO prove to the Democracy
that it cannot. sinSle-handed and
alone, defeat Grant. This might
have been their purpose in either
supporting the Grant candidates., OF
not voting at all. But we think 1t
was shOrt-sighted policy, for they
havecertainly strengthened Grant,
have assured his denomination at
Philadelphia, and increased the
chances OF his reelection OF one
thing there is no doubt If Grant is
peteated, it will DO by straight
out, Simon-purc Democrat.
When, before, in the history of
this, or any other country, did Il
mere faction, because it saw tit to
split off from the party with which
it WAS allied, erect itself, im.nedi-
ately, into great party, and take
charge of, and control the destinies
of countrys This, it would seem,
is what the Liberal Republicans as
sumo to dot is what they expect
to dO-and what that class Of Dem
ocra:s calling themselves s. Passive"
or as they are more properly termed,
Postum" Democrats are not only
willing, but anxious they should do.
We are not OF that number.

first, primary and sole object, then
they will not demand that THEY
shall be put in possession OF the
