hope all opposers of a third term for

apart all the alternate sections Of

Fae.x sortle IDemceracy.

We have not seen. anyereferencC
made 10 one feature of the recent
elections whichsRctliink worthy
Of close study and grave reflection,
especially by Democrats. The Dem.
ocratic State Conventions Of this year
in Massachusetts,, New York, and
MARYLAND adopted hard money plat
forms Of the soundest quality. On
the other hand. the platforms lad
down by the Democratic State Con-
yentions of Ohio and Pennsylvania
were in favor Of soft money.
Now. so far as the currency quest
ion influenced results, what Vas the
effect Of these Numerically opposite
doctrines upon The Democratic vote
in these FIVE States at the recent
elections? The Democratic loss. this
year in Massachusetts New York, and
MARYLAND, ascompared with lastycar
is about $1,000 votes. The number
Of members Of Congress IN these State
is fifty, and consequently the loss Just
mcntionedi IN average Of ,OD votes
for each Congressman. The Demo
cratic loss in Ohio aud Pennsylvania
at the recent elections, as compared
with the results of last year, is about
1900 votes. They elect forty-seven
members Congress. The Democrat
ic loss, therefore, is anaveraseofon
$50 votes for each Congressman
Even in New York, where the plat
form was intensely ha;ts the Demo-
Gratis lose rather more heavily than
did their soft brethren in Ohio.
There be many reasons for these
curious results. But all events they
are worthy Of philosophical study and
consideration.-N. Y. Sun.

United States Senator Bayard, of
Delaware, in recent letter, paysthe
following tribute to the Southern
people, which should be Endorsed, be-
cause of its truth, by every lover Of
his country North OF whatever shade
of political opinion:
an these years of misguided re,
construction Ihave steadily vouchetl
for the good faith of the people ofthc
South, and asked only that they
should be permitted to get upon their
feet, to resume their place in the I'm
ion, to speak freely with their own
voice, and through their own repre-
sentatives. And every pledge ! made
for them they have kept, and every
promise / made has been fulfilled
Just in proportion to the relaxation
Of the grasp of military power from
their Threats and the Withdrawal OF
irtmieal interference with their local
affairs. Wherever they have been
allowed to rchabilitate their States,
and save themselves from negro DOM
nation from Virginia to Texas, they
have justified the expectation other
friends and overwhelmed with confu-
sion the prophecies Of their foes.
''Public opinion in the North has
at last recognized this truth, and
compelled Williams to depart from
the department of justicc(?) branded
as malicious slandercr, and taught
even Morton that his bloody shirt
NAY prove to him a shirt of Nessus.1
