Wo nre very suro the Republicans will do nothing to gond ” tho Democraty into an outbreak, nor do they wish to be “goaded " by them, Mr. Watteneon asks: *Shall the Ameri- ean peoplo Lo cheated out of their freo choico and their froe Government by hand- ful of desperate ndventurera?"

Thero arc some vory unwise and very fool- hardy porsons belonging to Loth political porties who are talking and writing with much vehemenco of having the election of President decided by blood. Theso peoplo insist that the vote of Louisiana shall be counted for TiLDEY, if overy Democrat in the country must tako his mnusket ; others that it must bo counted for Ilayes, even if the Wnr bns to be fought all over again. All this is extremely incendiary nnd is altogeth- or unnocessary. The reault in Lonisiana is a8 yet unknown toany one. Each sido has only been nble to eatimate what tho returns will be when ro- ceived, When the time shall come that all tho facts are known, the country will have no difficulty in reaching n protty unanimons judgment upon this question, and that judg- ment will bo that the result declared shall be tho fair and honest one indicated by the facts. X E Here, howevor, is presented nnother in- stanco of liow the weaknesses and defects of our Constitution nro developed. Saventy. oix years ago the then comparatively infant Republic was threatoned with civil war and dismemberment by an altogether unoxpeeted combination of circumetances in the choice of President. At that tine the Presidential Electors voted for two men for President, ond the ono having tho grentest number of vates was sclected Presidout nnd tho one recoiving the next highest number was Vico- President. By an arrangement among tho friends of the successful party, one of the ZElectors was selected who voted for a third person instead of the party eandidnte, thus leaving a differonce between tho total vote of tho persons intended for President and Vice- Presidont, At the clection in 1796 Joux Apaats got 71 votes out of tho 140 Electoral votes, and becamo President, and Tioyas JrrpensoN got 6B, and was declared Vice- President. At the election in 1800 Jrrren- 50N was the Democratio candidnte for Presi- dent and Aanoy Bumr for Vico-Prosident; and Joux Apsus for Presidont and C. O, Prxckxey for Vice-President, wero the ean- didntes of tho Federaliots, Tho Electoral voto stood: Jrrrensow, 73; DBunn, 73; Apaus, 06; PryogsEeY, 61; Jav, 1. Whether by nccident or intrigue, Bunr received an equal vote with Jrvrenson, ‘'The Federalists in the Houso of Represontatives, intent on dofenting Jerrzreow, abandoned their own candidato to vote for Bunn, Jer- versoN got tho vole of ecight States, Lunn six, and two States (Vermont nud Maryland) were divided aud voted blanl, Thy country was terribly oxeited, and threats of war nud violenca wero general. The Homse began voting on Feb. 11, 1801, and continued in ression soveu duyr. Neithor side would'yield. Some of tho Federalists declared thelr pur- pose (Apans being then President) to declare Busz clected and iustall him in office, and it was threatoned on tho other side that, if this wore done, they wonld organize the Blates and mnke war upon the usurper, Aftersoven days' continuod scssion, tha interests of peace provailed over the maduess of party, aud Vermont and Maryland yielded, and voted for JerrensoyN, who was thus elected, Burn Decoming Vice-President, 'The danger to the vational peaco being thus mnde clear, the mode of voling for Prosident and Vice. Presidant wan changed to the present ays- tem, which ot the end of soventy-six years has doveloped a wenkness which again throat. ous tho peace of the country, Thero is no provision in the Constitution for u contestod olection, The certifienta by tho Btato authorities is, bocause of the ab- senco of nny law, final. It was so intended to be, tho possibility of fraud or illegality not having been contemplated. Congross hins no muthority in tho premiscs, It is ro. quired by law to bo in session on the second ‘Wednesday in Fetruary, on which day the Yrresidont of the Benata shull open the cor- tifientes of tha soveral Bonrds of Electors, count the votes, and declare tho result, That is all that Congress hns to doin the metter, unless there bo n tie, or a failure of either candiduto to recolve a majority, in which onse the fHouse shall proceed fo elect o President, No rosult of that kind is pos. wiblo in this case.,; There cauuot be u tie, and either TuoeN or Haves must haven majority. B If the Canvassing Board of Louisiann slnll reject thio votes of the five counties in dispute, and by that action give the vote of the Binte for laves when otherwiso it would bo for TrLoex, that decision must be secopted, Whero is thera suy remedy or any power to change tho result? For some yours thero has Leen o joint rule of Con. gress, of very questionable legality, which mado the counting of the voto of uny Stato dependent on the aftirmative asacut of both Housen. An objection by either Houso was guflicient to have tho vote ro- jeeted. That rule wos uot adopted by the present Congress and is now not in forco, There is uo rule in forca gove erning the mattor, Litorally thero ia mo power to object. Should, however, this twenty-second joint rule be revised or de. clared in forco ngain, it would not help the situntion, If the Democratic House shonld object to counting the vote of Louisiana for Iaves, that objoction would olect Tioew; but the Senate can then abjeot to North,Car- olina or Arksusas, Mississippi or Alabama, or all of thom. ‘The Democraiio Houso could only abject to Klorida (1), South Caroling (7), and Loulsiana (8), total 1) voles; while the Republicans moy object and thus throw aut tho votes of as many of tho other South. s Btates as would oxceed tho votes of theso Ropublioan States. This process may go on indefinitely, for ouco admitting tho power of either Houso of Congress to arbitrarily rejoct tho lectoral vote of ono State, thero ia 10 limit to which the power may not bo extond- ed. If a majority of {ho Seunto should con- ront tolho oxclusionof the vote of Louisiana, that wonld elect Triney ; but this is not so likoly ns to offer any expectation of the difii- culty being settled in that way. What, then, will Lo the result of this exciusion of votes for the mero purposo and prefext of clocling one or {he other of tho party candidotes? 'The Constitution docs not contemplate any such condition of afairs, Tho high standard of official Integrity in 1787 and in 1801 Qid not adinit that thero could hie n difMiculty or suspicion of fraud or unfairness in the choice of Blectors. No provision was thorofore made for the con- tingency of n failure to count the votes and declaro the clection of a P'resident aud Vice- President. Thero is a provision that, when thero has Leen o failure to clect n President and Vico-Presidont by the people, and the Iouse shall feil to clect n President by March 4, then the Viee-President, elected by tho Benate, shall becomo President. But this contingoney eannot happen in this case, which will bo“that of o failure to doclare the result of nn clection which has been made. Tho Inw of 1702 provides that the term of the President shall Legin March 4, It ex. cludes tho theory of a President holding over. It provides that, in easo of tho death, resignation, or inability of both Pres. ident nnd Vice-President, tho President of tho Scnate shall net as Prosident until the disability is removed or a Presidont olect. od, This does not cover the cnso as will be presented by the fail- ure of the two Ilouses to hava the votes counted and the election declared. And yet, possibly, that may be the only prae- ticable way out of the Lusiness, When tho oftices of Prosident and Vice-President both become vacaut, a8 thoy will be if no one is detawed clocted, then the President of tha Sonato by Iaw becomes ncting President un. til theso officors shall be clected at o special cloction in tho succeeding Novembor, which elcction must by Inw ba held unless whors the unexpired term is less than a year, In this ense Mr, Frray, who is at present the President of tho Senate, would bo inoeligible, . beeanse his torm g Benator will expire March 3, and he will not bo Presidont of tho Sonate when the vacancies oceur. Tho Senate will therefore have to clect another presiding offi- cer boforo tho 4th of Mavch, who would suc- ceod ns ncting President until the specinl clection of Presidont snd Viee-Prosidont conld tako place, Wa havo treated all theso speeulations as to difticulties which mny never occur. We, however, havo faith that the good sense of tho country will exercise a controlling influ- ence at New Orleans, and that, when sl the facts of tho Louisiana clection are known, tho truth aud the right will be so evident that the result will be declared nccordingly, aud to tho satisfaction of the whole country. In that event there will bo no move objec- tion to the declaration of an election by a small majorily than thera wounld be if that majority wero fifty or sixty. -The fact, how- ever, remning that Congress will bo criminal if it fail, by constitutionnl nmendment, to provide offectually agniust tho recurring of auy such alarming and dangerous contingon- cy as is now ovident may occur, Inreply to the temperato paragraph printod in "Tuk Triousr of Bunday, commentingupon the inflammatory dispatch sont to New Or. lonna from tho Chicago Z¥mes office, the 2'tmes priuts a column and o half of vitupera- tion, personal abuse, and partisan fury, which aro ovon worse than the original dispatch urging the assassination or banishment of the Ttepublican officinla of Louisiana. Wo lave no desire to bandy billingsgato with that paper, or fo doscend to porsonal nbuse. We shmply propose to confine oursclves to tho incendinry dispatel which some one in that oflico xent to New Orleaus to incito still further tho hot-headed Tildenites, and, it possible, to provoke violenco, We there. fore reprint tho substance of the dispateh : “All eyes and lopes inrn towards Louigiana. If you {amely submil to dison- frauchisoment, the end is defeat for hopo and reform, T%he North will say Godspeed lou cleantng out of the Picraup and Krt. roua scoundrels.” With regard to ¢ dis- enfranchisement,” no comment is necessary, T'he Misuissippi and South Ceroling Plauy havo disfranchised thousands of Ropublienns in thoso States. 'That charge isone which oven tho Zhnes will not insist upon, Tho doterminatlon to disfranchiso the mnegroos was publicly snnounced at tho very begin. niug of tho campaign, and it was faithfully cmried out, It is more tothe purposo to exnmino the inflmnmatory appeel contained in this dispatcl, What right, in the first place, has the Chicago Z'imes to spenk fortho North? Who nppointed it as agent to ropre- sont Northern sontiment? From the ont- break of the Warof tho Rebellion to its closo it was tho outspoken cnemy of the North aud the undisguised sdvocate of tho right of socceasion, the friend of the South, aud the fos of overy North. ern woldlor who fired n shot in do- fonso of the Govornment. Is it, therefore, tho war.recordd af the Z%mes that constitutes it on agent of the North? If mnot, does it count upon its eminent services in the causo of intelligouce, morals, and religion ainco the War as sufliciont to warrant 1t in speak- ing for tho North? What dors it mean Ly “clonning out™? What other mesning can it have at such a timo as this than open advice to tho hot-londed T1LDEN partisans of Now Orlonns to murder the Ropublican oflicialy, or banish thom from the Stato and dis. franchiso the Republican party? And whom does it adviso these pnrtisnns to * clean out"? Tirst, the recognized Governor of tho State, who has held the position for four yenrs, aud whoso termn has not yot expived; and second, tho Republican candidato for Governor, who, at the very lowest estimato, hasreceivedone-half thevotoof the State, We presumne thot he has the right to run for Goveruor oven in Loulslana and even in the same yoar in which Mr. Tmoes runs for President, and wo foel quite confident that ho has violated no law either of the United States or of Louisiaua in so doing, The one man whom the 2%nes would have the White- Linors of New Orloaus murdor has cowm- mitted no offense in running for the Guber- natorinl office, aud tha other is Governor of tho State without question until his term expires, And yot, undersuch circumstances, the Zimes telegraphs to New Orleans to * clenn out ™ tho two men representing the Republicun party, which, it thero had been a fair election, would have carried tho State by a majority of thousunds, aud has the effrontery to add that the North would re- joico at thoir murder, for that is all the 2'imes implics in tho wordy *‘cleaning out 1" Buch languago as is contained in the Z'imes dispatch cannot be too soverely condemned at the presept timo, It does mot reprosent tha Republicnn North, Wo do not bellove it ropresenta the sentiment of honest, ine tolligent, Iaw-nbiding Democrats in the North, but, whether it doos or does not, it in nono the less infanous, seditious, and ine eondinry, Itis not tho kind of langnage which i# wanted in n serions erisls, whero modoration should provail, and temperalo men, not madnien, should pronounce the de- cinion by which the country shall abide, Even from the oxtremo partisan point of viow, it i1 mncan, unfalr, wicked, and reckless of consequonces. The Zimes calls for “the cleaning out ™ of the Nepublican candidalo for CGovornor. Wil it mention to us a singlo Nepnblican partisan or Ropublican paper that has called for the cleaning out of Mr, Nicnonts, the Domoerntie eandidate for Governor? And yet such a proposition would bo no wmore infamous thau that of the T'tmes; and if the Z'tmea insists that it has tho right to mnake it, then 'ne Cimicrco "I'ntnune would have the same right to enll upon the Republicans of New Orlenus to nagnasinate Mr. Nicrorzs, As wo have said once before, we shall not stoop (o porsonal abuse in dealing with the subject. We hava nono of that venomous spleen and bitter, malloions hatred which characterizo the editor of thnt paper. We can only express unfeigned regret and pity at his course.

Ho has reached that period of life when white hairs usually bring calm and quiot, aud lead one to mako his penco with the present world and prepara himeolf by reflection and prayer for the world to come.- Ho has but little moro to doin this world at the utmost, but that littlo should be in the interests of pence,’ moderntion, and humnnity. In placo of this, in the very cvening of his days, and in the midst of thoso infirmities which always crowd upon advanced age, he displays all the hate, malice, and venom which charnc- torized him when younger and stronger, fiftcon years ngo. Such nn anomalous case can only excito pity. PLAYING WITH FIRE. The Presidout’s suggestion that & fow ju- dicious citizons of national repute, whoso character for integrity would command general respect, go to Now Orleans to sea that there is au honest count of tho honest voto of Louisinna, was satisfactory to all fair mon of both parties; and all parties are glad that monof the stamp of Winziax A, Evanrs and Staviey MATrnews are going thero for that purpose. DBut their going is Leing mado tho occasion for tho descont upon Louisinua of a multitude of political adventurcrs, nnd hotheads, and mischief- mnkers, such as turned loose nnywhero would nlmost inevitably oreate a disturbance. Mr. Ilexny WarrensoN, who is n’ very clever editor in his way, but who is a hot- hended partisnn, ought to know cnough to kuow that he isn't wanted at Now Or- leans. James R, Cmanyens, guorrilla Genoral in the Rtebel army, ought to know as much, Rebol Col. Bmcu and Robel Col. Bonxer stand in need of like knowledge. Joun M. PArMER is one of the last men to be trusted to fool around such & mngazine of all-dan- gerous oxplosives as is all Louisiana, *Yet he hastaken himself there. Joux Monrnmsey, whom Gov. Tizoex should have kept at home, hins gone thera to gamble on the re- sult and to buy up the Returning Board, probably, if it cau bo bought, just as he would stock the cards to clean out the greenies. Mr. Monnssy's presonco would better adorn his gambling hoell at New York. From all over the South, too, wo mnote that all tho combustible political driftwood is moviug toward Now Orleans, whers the flnmes of political excitement alrendy run so high, Theso gontry, one and all, should know they are not wanted there. 'Thero has already boen too much playing with fire in this business. And yet already Mr. Warrensox, and Mr, Mcllexny, of Kentucky, whoover he may be, nnd Rebel guerilla Gen. Cuarwens, and Joun M. Paruer, and the rest are proclaim. ing that thoy aro thero to set a pracedent, A precedent for what 7 No precedent is want- edto boset. All that is wanted is that tho public shonld know from men of undoubted probity and charactor that they witnessed the count and that it was fair, And the precedont-makers ave not the men who are wanted to do that work, The omergency is such ns could not havo beou antici- pated. When disposed of now, thore will bo smple leisure for Congress to make such provigion that the like situntion cannot ocour hereaftor, For the politieal gnscon- ades and dend-bents to go to manufncturing procedont for sending Grand Juries from ouo State into nnother to inepeot the elec- tion returns will bo simply to make mischief, As thess peoplo have gono without anthority from anybody to interfore, and as theirintor. fercnco could but mako tronble, it is to be trusted thoy will Le wholly iguored by the Louisionn anthorities, and that only o fow fair reprosontative men, of national charac. tor, will be pormitted to inspect tho count, or be consulted ns to what steps sball be talen. THEIR CRY I8 STILL FOR WAR. SBundny is a good day for Democratic blue- ter and Democratic fights. ‘I'ie number of Democerata who prefer to spend the holy day in this manner to going to church is large ot ‘all times, buttho number of blustorers and fighters is naturally increased, and their noise and fustinn greatly exaggorated, in nny timo of particular political exciloment, It is not surprising, therefore, that the Pulmer ouse, where the laeal offico.scokers, and blowuers and strikers for TrLoEx are congrogating nowadnys, should last Sundny have assumed a warliko front. "The scone was deseribod as follows by a local reportor s Gen, DaN CaxginoX senta telegram to Wave HanvToN, #tuting that the peoplo were detormined 1o havo u faircount of thoe ballots, and that even consurvative Itepublicans wero talking of fighting If thisis mothad, The Palmor Iouso crowd still talk bellicone, They suy If tho five **bulldozed™ parishes inLonlsiana are thrown outthers wili be Lloodehed.

Thoy say they will ralso 600,000 men, if necossary; oand this incendlury talk f direct from the leaders, ‘Thero can be no doubt that the Democracy la itch- Ing to kick up arumpus; and they say openly at thie Pabner Ifouse, if it coutce, that it whl be the end of the Republic, Some allowanco must bo mado, of course, for tho influence of bad whisky, which al. ways stimulates the posslons to an abnormal dewonstration, and for the conflicting cmo. tions of hopo and despair with which the oflice-scokers and tho botting gamblers awalt the result, Thero aro probably a good wany office-seekers who hava beon putting in hard licks for ¢* Trupey sud Reform " during sev. eral months, who would rather fight, or have other people fight for them, than abandon all hope of getfing office, They have already fought, bled, and died in tho sawo pursuit, aud they lave been resurrected for the time boing to make the good old fight over agaiu. There are also meny gamblers who, baving slaked their Loltom dollae on the sucient Uunfruet, ava willing to fight long enongh to gain timo for hedging on their bhotn, Both clnsses: naturally seck the Democratie hend- quartors for comfort, aud the strong sympn- thy thnat follows an oxchango of Atrong drinky, along with the consplenous valor that comes when sovernl hundred of ono mind aro collocted with no one to opposo them, will nccount rationnlly for the bellicosa upirit oxhibited by the Palmer Honro erowd.

If they imngine that the peo- plo of this country nre going to plungoe into mother civil war eithor for the purpose of keoping ono set of office-holdersin or nnother set of ofitec-aeckors out, they had botter hold their heads under tho nenrest hydrant and wober off, The Ameriean experisnco in eivil war ig altogether too fresh and recent, and the pounlties too severo, to malke it attractive, The men who fought aund the men who are now paying the cost of it will.not bo so enslly porsunded to go through the ordeal agalp, Tho Civil War begun in 1861 had moro provoeation than the liveliest imagination ean picture in the presont situn- tion. Slavery aud a separato Government on one side, Union and human freedom on the other, were the exciting causes. It ro- quired the nctual sccessionof fourteen States, the seizuro of the Government property and forls, the trailing of {he American flng, aud an attack on the Ameriean fortresses, io bringon thaconflict, Having passed through it once, it will require ot lonst n casus belli of oqual gravity to induco thoe people of this country to engage in {he same horrors aud suatain tho samo cost as before, If there ig any fighting to be done, the office-sockers and office-holders must adopt the anciont custom of individunl wager by Dbattle, If. Gon. CavEnos “wants the Post- Office, for inatanco, he must fight it out with Gen. Modntuun, tho present incumbent; Loth are valiant Beots, and well ablo fo nettlo their own disputes, 8o Gen, Comse nnd Gen. Masw might ongago in mortal conflict over the Collector’s offico, in which both have hnd some exporience and would probably like wmore. If it is actu- ally necessary that some blood ba shed, as would secm to be the conclusion of tiie Dem- ocrntic erowd at Parxen's Hotel under the stimulus of their regular Bunday strychnine, the peoplo will consent to romo such settlo- mont a4 con bo had by pitting the Democrat- io office-seekers individunlly agninst the Ite- publican ccoupants; but, nside from these, wo venture to say that thero is not a corpo- ral's guard within the Democratic or Repub- lican parties who contemplato war with uny- thing like screna satisfaction, much less on- thusiasm, A MARE'S NEST, New Yonrs, Nov. 13.—Tho World has a dls- patch from' Montpeller, Vt., snyggesting a new complication In tho eleetion for President.
