difficulty Of connecting with the Western
wing Of the army. which is undeniably
for soft money, and so inflated that
in skirmishing the two divisions Of
the same army have fred into each
other, wounding and taking prisoners
their own men. The Southern divi-
sion of the Democratic army are for
putting Bsyard or Confederate General
in command, raising the rebel yell, fight
ing by detachments and carrying every
fortified place by storm. The grand
council of war is to be held at st. Louis,
and it will be beautiful exhibition Of
conflicting opinions. There is no hope
rested on Pennsylvania; that State wants
som ethipg tangible in platform, some
thing besides the possession Of offices to
advocate on the stump. Ohio, so far as
the Democratic party is concerned, has
been Billallenized, and is out Of the fight.
Indiana would fight little if under Hem
bricks, but his leadership would de-
moralize the forces that are necessary in
other States. New York is of vital i'm
portance. It holds the balance of power
in the Democratic Confederacy. It is by
no means certain that. the Demo-
Gratis can carry that State under any
leader; but the generals about to
assemble in. council all agree that
nothing can be done without New Xork.
The scheming, and plotting. and adver-
Using of Mr.. Tilden have ruined him in
his own State, and he is despised in the
great West. In fact, none Of the Demo-
Gratis named as candidates can carry their
own States in an election, with the excep-
ton Of Bayard, and the three votes Of
Delaware do not count for much among
the 1863 electoral votes to be cast. The
shotgun Democrats Of the South would
enthuse readily under the leadership Of
Bayard, because he did what he could to
aid secession in the rebellion; they are
ready to intimidate and murder under the
lead of any good friend like Bayard; but
it has been found that the shotgun gen.
tlemen always overdo the thing, and
the honest vote Of the North
and West will not fuse with the bloody
ballot of the South. The frantic efforts
of the Democrats to get some unity Of &C.
ton is exciting the attention of the coun-
try. The soft money Of the West, the
hard money of the North, and the Ku-
Klux killing of the South, opposed to all
progress and civilization, are uncongenial
elements. The leaders are anxious to
throw overheard all principles, but the
crew will not work together then. One
sagacious paper says, beseechingly,
whether the nominee for President
come from West or East, or be an advo-
cate of hard or soft money, is immaterial
80 long as his nomination will enable the
Democrats to win" This was the theory
when the deluded army was ordered to
vote for the radical Greeley and the aboli-
ZIONIST Blair; but the theory did not win.
The Charleston Courier has 80 far sunk its
preferences as to say, "Anybody to beat
the Radical party! That should be the
CRY at st. Louis" It will be seen thai
honesty, ability or fitness for the honors
of our nation are not to be considered.
The great unwashed are expected to vote
for the devil himself should the delegates
representing his satanic majesty so order
it. Anything or anybody to beat the Re-
publican party.
