On the other hand the Democracy start
ed in the canvass without any of these
appliances, without official position and
without money, but with superabun-
dance ofconfidence in their cause and
candidate, which were worthy of all
confidence, yet over-confdence is not
less a source of weakness than a want
of confidence. Added to these sources
of strength on the one side and weak
ness on the other, is this element of
strength and weakness attracting its
like, to-wit, the Republicans were uni
ted and the Democrats were divided.
In New York there was a division
in the Democratic party that was deep
and dangerous, and whose moral force
is calculated to bring defeat to any
party. In Virginia there was divis-
ion that threatened destruction to the
party in that State as well as lent its
baneful influence to carry the North
solid against Democracy. When Vir-
ginia, the mother of States and states
men, the land of Washington, Madison,
Munroe and Jefferson can afford to 90
into a National contest with her ranks
divided, and in utter disregard of her
own credit at home, no one need be
astonished at the results we are now
considering.
In short, if the Democracy can af-
ford to run on separate tickets and al
most all sorts of tickets in New York,
the empire State of the confederacy,
in Virginia, whose statesmen and states

type OF the Southern States, it need
not be surprised at the overwhelming
defeat that it has received, and which
it purchased by this suicidal folly. If
office in New York, and money in the
other States named, are worth more
than Democratic principles, then De
mocracy should be beaten, and will be,
so long as this is the case.
