Had “poor Pierce” adhered to: Henry Oiny’s zreat comprentise measures: of, T850 he might have given to the democracy a‘tew lease of half o eentury of power! But in the’ repéal of the Missouri compromise—q compact embraced ia the peace ‘measures of 1860—he was tempted to pry tato the box of Pandora, aod in opening it he let loose that swarm of evils upon bis party and the couatry, which, under his imme- diate successor, the feeble and maundering Buchanan, culminated in the horrors of this Southern rebellion. With a tithe, nay, with one-half of one per cent of the moral courage and sagacity of Old Hickory, Mr. Buchanan, had he followed our advice—the simple advice of common sense— could have quenched this rebellion in the kin- dling. But in fear and trembling the poor, unfortunate old man sbrank from the task; and thus the legacy which he handed over to Abrabam Lincoln wes an organized Southern confederacy, armed to the teeth and rampant for war. The gauntlet was thrown down at Fort Sumter, and the people of the loyal States, at the cry of the new administration for the Union, rose as one man to the rescue. In that magnificent, imposing and awful popular uprising was spoken the doom of the rebellion, and tbe amplest means and powers for its speedy extinction were placed in Mr. Lineoln’s hands. Party lines were practically oblite- rated, and the people of the loyal Staies be- came a unit for the war in support of the administration. ‘Thus the government, after, our: instructive military misfortunes of 1861, was supported in all Its gigantic preparations, on the land and water, for the campaign of 1862. But the ap- palling disasters of tbat campaign, on the Richmond Peninsula, under Gen: McClellan, and in front of Washington, under Gen. Pope, brought about a universal and powerful popu- Tar reaction (throughout the loyal North against the blundering war policy, strategy and tactics of the administration, Then seizing, as if by instinct, upon the prevailing popular‘idea, up rose the Northern democracy for a more vigor- ous prosecution of the war. What followed? The recorded resulta of the fall elections of 1862, in all the great Northern Central States from New York to Illinois in- clusive, tell the story. The democracy had hit upon the right road to the Presidential suc- cession, and the White House, looming up in the aun, like a gorgeous castle above the clouds, was in full view before them. But, while the administration took counsel from the warning voice of the people and proceeded to & more vigorous prosecution of the war, the leaders of the Northern democracy, still de- luded by their old party affiliations with the South, attempted to divert the people to the treacherous byroad of peace-at-any-price. The stupidity and ruinous folly of this experiment was sufficiently rebuked iu the Northern elec- tidns of 1863 to turn sensible men away from it; but the peace-at-any-price infatuation of the white-featuer leaders of the democratic fold was incurable. They would bave nothing else, and they made their arrangements accordingly for the Chicago Convention. The nomination of General McClellan was not in their programme. But they were com- pelled to make this concession to the general voice of the party. They could not resiat it nor evade it. What then? They could, at least, bind band and foot this loyal soldier and favorite of the war democracy. Hence, reversing the usnal order of things, they set. up their platform before they made their nomina- tion; and next, having nominated McClellan, they tied him fast to that conspicuous champion of peace-at-any-price, Mr. George H. Pendleton. Now, while the close result of the late Penn- sylvania election shows that MoClellan, asso- ciated with a Union man like himself—peace or war and with a consistent platform from Chicago—would have inaugurated a decided political revolution in these October elections, we see from the results in Obio, where Pen- dleton belongs, and in Indiana, where his principles are thoroughly understood, how heavy is the load that McClellan bas to carry. Notwithstanding this heavy burden, however, he has exhibited a degree of strength ia the Fast which would have saved the party in the West had thert been anytbing like common honesty among the coppéfbeads in supporting the party ticket. They first contrive, however, to place the party and its Presidential candi- date in a false position, and then, while con- senting to his position as defined by himself, they resolve to betray him. Had the great body of the Northern demo- cracy followed our suggestions, and repudiated their copperhead leaders and their mischiev- ous peace fallacies in 1863, all these tronbles would have been avoided, and the success of the democratic ticket in November would have been secured. What is to be done now we must leave Mr. Belmont to determine. It is late in the day, but still Gen. McClellan and the demooratic party should be relieved of Pendleton and set right before the country. In the meantime, from the disclosures conoern- ing the Sons of Liberty in the West, and from other developments nearer home, we kaow ‘that this copperhead peace faction ts full of the elements of civil war. Our greatest concern now is that the conservatives of all parties, in Novemsber thal] be duly prepared to cheek any scones of violence and bloodshed which this treacherous peace faction may attempt Im be- balf of Jeff. Davis. To this end let the honest, patriotic messes of the democracy, begianing with this city, mest in council, defige their position, and thus, for the November election, show to the Peaseylveata democracy tbat they f & lt THTHe | Legislature, despise upen the most frivolous pretext. tended justification of the national tax pretext, as the companies show, when, a tax of two and a half per cont, they 7 ; a £ their prices twenty per cent. If the panies desire to abow that this is not « pretext they can do it easily by adjusting their prices on @ system of tickets. Bight tickets were formerly sold for forty conte, and if the same number was now aold for forty-one cents, that would pay the fare and the revenue tax; but the companies now require for that number of tickets forty-eight cents. Let them fix their prices thus on tiokets for the benefit of tie people, and charge six cents for each person who only takes a single ride, and the public may have some faith in the aanouncements the companies make in putting this increase on the Revenue law. But so far from any inteution to do justice to the people and the law in this manner, the car companies intend to evgineer an even greater Increase of fare. Let the people take notice in full time of this fact. The Manbattan Gas Company avd the railrond companies intend to petition the Legislature this winter for privilege to increase their prices. The car companies Stend to ask that they may increase their fare to eight ceots. This is a matter for the people to take into very earnest consideration, Every man and woman is intereated in the car fare and the gas bill, and let it be rec-embered that every man who votes for au Assemblyman. votes on the important question whether or no there shall | ve an increase in car fares and the price o! gas. Only by the choice of men above purchase can the people secure their interests in this matter; and, therefore, in view of the history of our city politics, it seems a hopeless business; ‘yet ® great deal may be done to purify the city representation by an earnest attempt. Let the people try. If an honést Assembly is possible let us have it, and let that Assembly answer the appeal of the monopolies by a call for their accounts. Let the gas company and the car companies be called upon to make the ex- hibit of their gains, and of the losses that require an increase of fare. Let it be shown ia par- ticular how much it cost to build the city rail- roads and to get the charters. After such an inquest the people can tell whether there ought to be an increase in prices. i The Fall Season—The Park, the Opera and the Theatres. We do not remember so fine an October as the present. As yet fires have been a necessity only with invalids and bungry coal speculators, who bave been expecting to recover the late considerable fall ia that article by an early frost, and have been defeated in their calcula- tions. Although the mornings are cool the sun comes out with considerable power towards noon, and with a few more weeks of such weather the winter stocks of fucl can be laid in with advantage, as the monopolists will then become timid as to their chances. ; Those who desire to see the Park in its most attractive aspect should visit it just now. The autumnal tints are just beginning to develop themselves amongst the foliage; while the clear, bracing condition of the atmosphere tempts a greater number of persons to resort to it for exercise than are to be seen at almost any other season of the year. Such of our fair readers as want to post themselves as to the winter fashions would do well to takes turn there, either in a carriage or on foot. They will encounter not only the creme de la creme of New York scciety, but the new shoddy and petroleum aristocracy, smelling perbaps rather strongly, but resplendent in the last costly importations from abroad. The hotels and the theatres present similar evidences of the revived life and animation of the great city after its periodical summer stagnation. Notwithstanding the extravagantly high price charged at the former, there is not & decent room to be got at any of them without bespeaking it some time In advance. Those who arrived late from the country without taking this precaution must have been sadly put about, seeing that private apartments and boarding houses are all in the same crowded state. At no former period, in fact, has New York been so thronged by strangors. When the war first broke out a great deal of lamentation was {o- dulged in over the loss caused to it by the absence of the Southern families that were in the habit et visiting us. The disappointments then experienced are not only compensated for by an extraordinary influx from the same source, bat this has been turned into a posi- tive grievance.

On the 26ty of October,’ 1774,) the Ameri- were offered for their making common cause with the colonies In thelr resistance to the oppressive sets of tbe British crown: In delegates to represent your province in the Continental Congress to be held in Philadelphia on the 10th day of May, 1775.” ‘The reference to this scrap of history is not til well es ours. But they adbered to the Mother Countey, which now telis them to take care of thomnssives, As dependent colonies their pro- grees bes been slow, their political influence wotbing and their bistory a blaok. What pros- perity they have enjoyed bas been entirely owing to their commercial intercourse with the United States, whose railroads sod canals have been the inlets of our products into the Provinces, and the outlets of their own. Witb- out these thelr own works of interaal improve- ment would have been but of little value. This rapidly ivereasing intercourse uoder tbe reciprocity treaty bas given the Canadians vew ideas, created vew wants, impelled thom to new exertions, and they perceive, if they wish to grow to their natural size, they must cast off their shell. Any natrow aud limited system of goverament, with a veto on ite action by another three thonsand miles off, is, therefore, aad progress bas been take». They bave but to take auother and their fortune ix made.

Repudiated by the candidate of the democracy, sbuffied out of the primary elections and loca! and State conventions, and utterly igoored in the recent contests in Pennsylvania, Indians and Ohio, the leaders of the peace faction must ‘eel that they bave no position—no platform, or plank of « platform, to stand upon. The doctrine of peace at any price, even that of national dishonor, has no votaries the few miserable politicians who have been thus abandoned by the people. The expression of public sentiment elicited by the late elections is not only explicit on this point, but it goes far to warrant the assumption of the philosophical theory that « state of war is, after all, the most congenial to all the animal creation, including the highest order thereof—man. The arbitrament of the sword has ever been the chosen method of settling quarrels between men and between nations. Compromises, coa- ventions, treaties, diplomacy, it is true, have been resorted to, but it was generally when the contestants grew weary of sharper weapons, and rarely because men loved peace more thaa war. We bave special authority, under the theocracy of Israel, for the appeal to war as a settlement of all great political, verri- torial, and even religious questions. The sword of the Lord and of Gideon has cut some gordian knots in its time. It is historically true that no great political measures, perma- nently affecting the destinies of nations, Lave been accomplished except by war. In the Progress of science and art peace bas indeed swayed the scoptre; but it might be shown that even in these channels of civilization war ex- ercised at least preliminary influence. The Crusaders introduced the refinements of the East into Western Europe, and engrafted upos the ruder habits of the age the more emollieot characteristics of the Orientals. The invasion of Spain by the Moors Iald the foundation of civilization ia Southern Eurepe. The language, the poetry, the architecture—art in every fora— received an impulse which, like the ripple in the water, spread throughout the whole contl- nent. We could maltiply instances if it were necessary, to show that war has repeatedly been the precursor of those more refined ele- ments which constitute Christian civilization. The study of the lewer animals affords evi- dence that a state of war is the normal condi- tion of all animated asture.
