END OF THE FARCE-...THE TRAGEDY
BEGINS.

tions, tosce which one of the two should
be beaten in November by the Demo
Gratis, is about to close. One after another
of Warmoth's sunny-day friends are
deserving him, to join his mortal foes,
the well-fed ct1stodians of the New Or
leans Customhouse. The star of Prince
Hal is fast setting in darkness and
gloom. Word has probably gone forth
from the White House that decisive
measures will be taken to cOuntcract
the power of the Governor under the
State registration and election laws, by
invoking the authority of the Federal
laws in reference to the same subjects.
From the sudden collapse of these late
notorious rebels against the Admins
tration. it may be safely assumed that
the President has been compeIled-very
reluctantly, of course-to pledge him
self to interfere in our State canvass
and election, and this pledge has spoilt
all the nice calculations for comforta-
BILE berths made by the supporters of
Warmoth, and hence, never having
felt any devotion to principle, they
leave their leader and join the faction
they have SO recently been denouncing
and endeavoringto ruin. And this de-
sertion will continue until nearly every
Warmoth Radical in the State has
eaten and digested his full peck of dirt,
and become Il full-hedgetl anti-War-
moth rnud-lark. The men in this end
of the State who have been swinging
to the Governors coat tail, will have to
find some other hand-hold. Those of
them who have sworn by all the proph-
cts, that he was their first, last and only
choice for Governor, are benevolently
notified that their oath has gone to pro-
test and they must swear again. They
thought, no doubt, they had secured
good hold for both hands and feet, but
they may now see what fools they have
been. Why did they enlist in the fac
ton inimical to the Administration :?
Were they such fools as not to know
that the concentrated lyc of Republi-
canism was in Grant and that the Gus
tomhouse was his ash-hopper? EX-
pccted they no day Of reckoning-no
feast of dirt? Did they not know that
this was not a government Of States
ruled by Governors; but government
of consolidated powers and accumulat-
cd presents Wherefore have they
pursued Il course so foolish?
We yield the floor five minutes,
each, to Allen Greene, w. J. Black

What will become of our virtuous
young Governor: The National Re
publican says .he has threatened, that
if no compromise be accorded him by
his foes, 1--WE thought he never sought
compromises he and his taX-collectors
will leave the State, with all of their
gains; and that he already has his gains
converted into movable property and
that this property is in safety. But we
cannot believe that this ignoble fate is
to overtal<e Mr.. Warmoth. He is Il
far-reaching young man, and might
make other threats much more likely
to accomplish his purpose, and, if car
ried out, to ruin his party. lie is not
likely to leave the State So unccrenlo-
niously; but what is to become of him
as a Republican,: Judgment is clearly
rendered against him, and his hopes us
II Republican have departed" And
what is still worse, the probability of
Federal supervision of tue election has
drawn his fangs, and he is no longer II
power in the State. Will he die like Il
respectable corpse, or attempt to gal
vanize himself by creating Il new par
ty?
And this question leads us to Inquire,
with all gravity and charity, what is to
become of the Peoples Party: Indi-
cations have clearly pointed to the flu
sion of the E'ifty-one rcforncrs with the
Carter wing of the Radical party, now
become i'll fact the Radical party of this
State. But it is possible that terms of
coalition have never been formally !
entered into or signed between these
parties. The Reunion of the two Rad
