State. The President is in danger of making
himself butt of public derision if, at the

feels bound to warn insurgents to disperse

assembled, and to bid purely imaginary peo-
pie to retire to their respective places of abode
under penalty of being fired into by federal
troops
What does President Grant propose to do
when the five days have elapsed which he al
lows for this fictitious dispersion? Will he
fight this visionary insurrection, this fgment of
an over-excited political imagination, this
shadow, with the same zeal with which he bids
it avaunt If he sends federal troops to Vicks-

THE NEW-JERSEY DEMOCRATS.

The preliminary preparations for the Fallcam-
paign in New-Jersey were completed yesterday
by the work of the Democratic Convention. Both
parties have now ticket in the field, and we
congratulate the voters of the State in having
two such candidates for Governor to choose
between. The election of either one of them
will be guarantee that during his term or
Office the State will be well governed. In
choosing Judge Bedle the Democrats have done
themselves infinite credit. Had they been seek
ing mere politician, whose only purpose, II
elected Governor, would have been the distri-
button of spoils, they would have selected
very different sort of man. From the time
his name was first mentioned down to the
present he has refused to lift finger OF say
word in order to obtain the nomination. de
wrote letter in the heat of the canvass
which would have completely ruined the pros
poets of a candidate in time OF stronger
partisan feeling; but 30 unfaltering was the
confidence in his integrity and ability that
even his stolid indifference to the subject
gained him additional friends. The men VINO
have nominated him know that he will place
the good of the State above that OF his party
in every instance, and knowing this, they have
risen above the ordinary level of political
ethics in choosing him. The unanimous choice
of a man like Judge Bedle as a standard
bearer is a credit to any party.
In the platform which the Convention
adopted there is much that is commendable.
The resolution on the finances is an excellent
epitome of the only sound doctrine on that
subject: "The restoration of gold and silver
Z" as the only true basis of the currency Of the
country; the prompt resumption OF specie
payments, and the payment of all national
Indebtedness in the money recognized by the
civilized world" There is not particle OF
doubt about what that means. The resolu-
ton declaring opposition to the govern
ment of municipalities by commits
sions appointed by the Legislature, and
fayoring a system of general laws, is equally
sound. jersey needs no argument to
convince her of that. The effects of the Cen
eral Railroad law are too fresh in her mem
DRY. The denunciation of n third term for
any President, no matter what his political
associations and the demand for the repeal
of the Poland and Frelinghuysen press gag"
law are also timely. With such ticket and
platform the Democrats enter upon the can
vass well equipped. The Republicans are
equally fortunate. New-Jersey is always
close State, and in this campaign it is pleasant
to know that whichever side loses the State
will not suffer.

LOUISIANA,

A hopeless revolt is q crime against human
ity, and whatever may be the abstract merits
of the cause for which Acting Governor Penn
and his associates have been fighting at New
Orleans, it is impossible with the information
thus far in our possession to acqut them of
reckless and wicked sacrifice of life. There
has never been one CLEAN of hope for their
success. Behind Kellogg and his armed police
stands the whole force of the United States
Government, and no reasonable being
could doubt that the Federal troops would
be used without delay or remOrse to
crush this instruction against the
yillainous adventurers who have usurped the
control of the State of Louisiana. The Presi-
dent long ago decided which of the two par
ties he should recognize as legitimate, and he
has made it PLAIN that he shrinks from none
of the consequences of his unfortunate and
unjust decision. The new administration es-
tablished yesterday by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Penn will almost certainly be overthrow be-
fore the end of week by President Grant
and Major General Emory; and what will the
honest people of Louisiana have gained
by their brief and bloody revolution
But let US be just to these unfortunate and
sorely tried citizens even while We blame
them. They. have set forth their grievances
both in an address to the public and respect
full, even deprecatory, letter to the President,
and every word of their complaint is true.
This is free representative government, yet
it is an undeniable truth that the people of
Louisiana are living under an absolute des-
potsm. For them the ballot has no meaning
and the courts have no power. No reasonable
man doubts that at the last election McEnery
and Penn were fairly chosen Governor
and Lieutenant Governor Of the satA,

TIE THIRD TEEN.

The Republicans of South Carolina In their
convention at Columbia adopted unanimously
a resolution favOring Gen. Grant for third
term. This is the first open adhesion to the
third term movement by any regular political
body, and it is on many accounts most sig
nificant declaration. There has been the best
reason to believe that bargain was at least
oroposed between the President and a certain
party of the Southern conservatives, one side
offering denomination and the other veto
of the Civil Rights bill, and some recent ex-
traordinary remarks of the President respect
ing that bill have given strong color OF prob
ability to the report; but here we have an
unequivocal denomination by the rep
resentatives of what may be called
the extreme Southern Radicals,-that party
in the PROSTATE States which is ruled by no
principles and guided by no patriotic consid-
erations, but was organized for plumber and
sustains itself by stealing. If it should seem
to ,this party in other States besides South
Carolina that it can drive better business
with Gen. Grant than with any new candi-
date, we may see repetition of the strange
scene of 1868, when Grant hesitated between
two parties, each anxious to take him for a
him. Louisiana under the renewed sway of
the usurper will need his friendly bayonets,
and will shout for him and vote for him
with all the energy of her packed conventions.
AS we have said before, the danger of his
reelection is remote, but the mere fact of his
candidacy is grave evil in itself. When it is
once admitted that President can be nom
mated for third term, we have already made
serious departure from the traditions of the
Republic, and taken the first steps which lead
only toward political ruin. The monstrous
heresy must be stamped out at once. Grant
himself will do nothing to destroy it. 1t is
talked of in his presence; it is urged by his
nearest friends and he does not even
affect displeasure. 1t is for the great
political parties of the country to act. The
Democrats of New-Jersey yesterday declared
themselves opposed to "a third term for any
Presidential candidate, no matter what his
political associations we shall expect the
Democrats of New-York to be equally explicit.
