The political tempest that has swept over every loyal State of the Union this fall, uproot- ing and scatiering the enormous republican majorities that have prevailed since 1860, might readily have becn predicted by any one curious enough to study and intelligent enough to understand the indications of the political atmosphere for the pest two years. When the war closed the loyal people expected at once to reap the advantages o/ peace in the restora- tion of the Southern States as productive and. industrial portions of the Union, the decrease of national expenditures and taxation, and the restoration of commercial and social inter- course between the severed sections of the |; second time he has failed, country. It was, thought that when the rebels had acknowledged the defeat of their cause and conformed fo the new order of things re- sulting from the war, all serious difficulty in | the way of reconstruction was at an end. But | the trickery and dishonesty of the politicians | on both sides soon dispelled these illusions, | and the disgraceful quarrels that sprang ap | between the executive and Congressional | branches of the government threateaad to undo all that had been accomplished by the Union armies, and to plunge’us into as serious complications as those from which we lad so | recently escaped. The loyal States, although not wholly satisfied with the part taken by Congress, supported the racomsiraciion policy of that body, a3 embraced in the constitnuonal | amendment, with singular unanimity, and if | the republican party hod adhered to that settlement there would have besnan end to the matier, Bat the radicals, who hed obtainad the position of lesders in the orgvnieation, drove their party into eubsequent aticmpts to force negro supremacy apon tho South at the point of the bayonet ; and these nets, with their terrible blunders in questions of fiaance ant taxation, have brought about their present reverses, Fora year paet the people have been growing more and more dissatisfied with radical misrale, until the gethéring clouds of doubt and discontent have at Inst burst into a storm that threatens (o sweep the whole repub- lican party from existence unlees they de- | termine upon a total change in their recent policy. The great connter-revdlutien commenced in Conneetieut, when the republicans, coutident ia their supposed strength, made a nomination disgraceful to any party, for the important office of Congressman, in dedance of common | decency and the duty they owed to the public, vey were properly rebuled at the polls; heir boasted power was broken, and thetr whole State ticket was dragged down hy the Mead weight of their Congressional nomines. } Since that time they have gone on from bad to worse, Culifornis, Maine, Olie, Pennsylyanta, Maasachuse.te, Now Jersvy and New York have, each in ‘heir turn, dévlared against thelr vio- lent, destructive ond revolutionsty polley, aud either driven them from powar er so reduced their large majorities ar to show that the whole country repudiates their doctrines apd refuses them its confidence and support The lesson to be Jearned from those recent elections is easy and plain. It means that the people condemn the military reconstruction Jaws, the Tenure of Ollice bill, ant all the vio. lens coercive measures of the last and present Congress, and declare that all such logivlation shall be swept away. It means tho repudiation of both the copperhead and Jacobin factions, aod a determina‘ion to take a new departure with new mon and a new line of policy. fh moans that while the loyal men of the North country’s govd? dem.nd the full consummation of the free ‘om of the negro race and favor their entranchise- mont under State laws, with a property qualifi- cation, as in*th> Northern Sates, they-also demand the instant abolition of mililary governments in the Sou'hern districts, the | generous trestmen! of tee whitiy citizens of the South, and their speedy restoration to their lost rights. It means a reform in our whole financial system and a reduction of the national expen litures and taxation. There is but on» way to ensure that the popular will shall be fully carried out, and that is by the immediate nomination of Gen- eral Grant for President of the United Sates bya grand popular movement, independent of all parties, cliques and factions, Let the people of New York, of all shades of poli call atonce a great public meeting for this purpose, and thus form in the commercial metropolis, whose voice is loudest age radicalism, the nucleus of a Grant party which shall spread all over the country. Under such a leader success is assured, Grant's whole career in the war and since the war proves that the principles endorsed by the populer voice are this» which actuate his course of life. As a soldier be was brave and deter- mined, as a conqueror reasonable ani liberal, and as@ public officer in time of peace he has established a grand reputation for economy, retrenchment and executive ability. All the principles he has contended for during the war and since its close assure the country that reconstruction on a fair and liberal basis, and the reduction of the national debt by two bundred and fifty millions the first year, would be the immediate fruits of his election to the Presidency. While he is dumb to the persua- sions and blandishments of the politicians, he would respond to the voice of bis country- men, appealing to him without distinction of party, and his words would be such as to show that the confidence reposed in him would not be misplaced. Let such s movement as we indicate at once be made in New York, and the new party, with Grant, retrenchmen: and reform for its watchwords, will carry the whole of the States from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and sweep into the two oceans every vestige of copperheadism and Jacobinism, with all their stock in trade of secession, African barbarism, national banks, class legislation and enormous taxation. Poor Garii Tho Garibaldi movement is at anend. The liberator and his two sons are now shut up in an Italian prison. The Italian government, too, has complied with the demands of Franco, and Italian troops have been recalled from the territory of Rome. Poor Garibaldi! A second time he has ventured in the same cause. A Blood has again been shed, but Rome is not yet the capital of Italy. Itis still under the heel of clerical tyranny, and, what is worse, this clerical tyranny is backed up and encouraged by French bayonets. The deteat of Garibaldi is an immediate gain to despotic and reactionary principles; but it is an open quesiion whether it will not prove also au ultimate gain to liberalism in Europe. The success of French interference in this matter will call forth a sigh of sorrow in the heart of every lover of liberty throughout the civilized world. It may do more. It may give to Wberalism in Europe that cohesion which it needs and without which it cannot hope for success. {f monarchs combine for their mutual interest, we know no reson why the peoples should not combine for their own. The two classes of interests are not now, nor have they ever been, the same. It will be well if the populations learn this, and learn it in time. Pretended friend of liberty as he is, Napoleon is in reality its most determined enemy; and among the rulers of Europe Na- poleon, we may rest assured, ia not without aiders and abettors. It will not surprise us to learn that, goaded into madneas by this fresh defeat, liberalism in Turope has burat iuto something like newness of life, To vill not be difficnli for them to find acommon grievance. Tho nations, one and all,are taxed to the last polat of endurance, The debts on account of which they are bur- denod have been inenrred less in defence of than in opposition to their interests. Nothing can rid them of tuosa burdens but 9 general uprising, and it will be difficult for history to | condemn them if genere! revolntion is followed by general repudiation. The ten thousand millions of Europeaa debt have been @ burden only to the people properly so called, and it is unreasonable to expoct that they should patientiy bear tho burden forever. We shall be pardoned if, in closing an article which relates to tho closing scenes of another act in the grant European drama which is not yet played ont, we allude to a fact which newspaper enterprise is meking more and more apparent. We allude to the growth of a com- mon aud world-wide public sentiment. On this Continent, thanks to the enterprise of the innann, we have been kept as well posted in regard to every changing feature of this Italian uiovement sa if we had been living in London, in Paris, or even in Florence itself, This ra- pidity of conveying futelligence, creating and feeding a commen pablic sentiment, cannot fail to rodoand at last to the welfare of all, pooptes. A Proposition to Gbdliternte the National Dove. Some time sgo @ proposition was made by certain capitalists to pay off the national debt by subscription, That was soon dropped. Wo have @ bejter plau now, We propose that the bondholders stati voluntarily surren- der their bonds to the government, and that a Gey be appointed when a grand bonfire shall be made with them ia front of tlie capital at Washington, ot in the City Hall park, New York, amid the crowis o? patriots who make the eworifiee, We have some fifty thousand dollars ia Central Park stock, and may be nearly o hundred thousand in United States bonds, which we are williag to devote to this object What a magnificent spectacle this would be! We should not lose by it; we should save the whole amount in a few years through reduced taxition, Such an instance of elevaied patrio'ism would be without a parallel, and future ages to all time would wonder and prsise ua That would be im mortality worth having, The remarkable patriotism and eelf-denial of Peter Bismarck Sweeney would be eclipsed. Who will second our proposal? Who will bring their bonds and lay them on the attar of their country for the Taxation and the National Banks. There is an animal, the most oppressed and worst abused of animals, which is regarded as tbe emblem of patienes, but we have seen bim kick and refuse to go further when burdened beyond his strengti. Though accnstowed to blows and oppression, he sometimes revolis ; and once, we are told, he spoke out boldly against his oppressor. So it will be with the people of this country. They have shown so much uncomplaining good nature under tho most frightful weight of taxation, that the gov- ernment, Congress, politicians, the bondholders and privileged capitalists imagine there is no limit to their patience ; but patient as they have been they will not always endure heavy and unnecessary burdens. While the war lasted, while the great struggle for national unity absorbed every thought, our people bore these heavy burdens without a murmur. Ever since the war ended they were not unwilling to bear the burdens as long as they appeared to be necessary for reorganizing society and estab- lishing permanent peace and harmony. Now, however, dissatisfaction and alarm seize the public mind, It is two years and a half since the war closed, yet we have war taxation, @ war revenue, and war expenditures, Seven years ago the revenue or entire expenditure of the government was not over seventy millions of dollars @ year ; now it is five hundred mil- lions. There is no parallel in the history of any country to this enormous augmentation of taxation within 80 short a period. Never, in- deed, was any government before so reckless and extravagant. Millions upon millions are lavished where there is no necessity for spend- ing a dollar, and often for the most corrupt and dangerous objects. We might notice specially the enormous ex- penditure of maintaining a military govern- ment over ten States and nearly a third of the territory of the country, which was absolutely unnecessary; for these States might have been restored long ago and need not have been a dollar’s expense to the federal government. We might show how all this cost, probably not less than a hundred millions, has been solely for party purposes—solely to keep the radicals in power, We would refer to the Freedmen’s Bureau—a ort of great poorhouse to feed negroes in idleness—upon which have been recklessly lavished nearly twenty millions a year. We might expose the monstrous bounty and pension laws which call for as much money annually as would support all the departments of government. The revenue system, which seems to have been made for the purpose of maintaining an army of officials, and which gives birth to frauds ot frightful magnitude, might be ventilated. These and many other cases of astounding expenditures and loss of the public money, through radical republican legislation and maladministration, if thoroughly exposed, would startle the public. But we shall notice only for the present the gross fraud upon the people in the organiza- tion of the national banks. The clean gift, or bounty, as we may call it, of nearly thirty mil- lions'a year to these institutions exceeds any- thing in the way of wicked extravagance in the history of legislation. The interest on @ national currency which rightly belongs to the people is a clean gift of so much money to capitalists, without consideration or any benefit in return. It is robbing the poor to make the rich richer. It is taximg an over- taxed people to swell the incomes of capital- ists and national bank bondholders. The creation of such privileges was the most wicked and stupid piece of legislation ever heard of. The perpetuation of them is an as- tonishing anomaly in a republican country. The privilege given to the banks of a national circulation, ‘based on government bonds, was aptly characterized by a former American statesman when discussing the proposition of Mr. Dallas to establish a similar bank, with fiity millions capital, founded on United States stocks. He solved the monstrous proposition by designating it as “lending our credit to the bank for nothing and borrowing it back again at six por cent interest.” This is just what we do inthe case of the national banks. Worse { than that, we create a stupendous moneyed oligarchy, with its ramifications throughout every nook and corner of the republic, which has power to control all trade and industrial operations, to absorb the profits of industry, and to make the wealth thus concentrated the government of the country. If these banks should be allowed to remain in existence till they consolidate their power, thé votes of the peaple will count for little. They will consti- tute the political machine that will control the dostinigs of the republic, We are not without hopa, however, that they are doomed to de- etraction. The significant vote of New York aud other States in the elections just over shows clearly that both the negro and national bank policy of the radical republicans has reached its climax. General Grant’s Opinions. The time has at length eome when Gerferal Grant may freely speak his opinions on the great questions of the day. Judging from his acts, we are convinced that his views are those of a practical statesman and reformer which will command the approbation of the whole country. The eyes of the people are now turned upon him as the real Moses who is to lead them out of the wilderness, He is not a radical fanatic, and he heartily despises cop- perhendism. Let him speak to the people as their champion, standing between these ex- tremes, and his voice will seitle the succession and the restoration of the Union. Ride Now and Then=A Com- Parison, ij When, General Sheridan made his famous dash through Virginia the enemy melted before bita like snow before the sun. When he marched through the Northera States lately, under the anspices of the radicals, the radical majorities melted away just as rapidly. The power of his presence was felt as mach on one occasion 3s on tie other, Here in New York, where he siayed longest, came oftenest, and made tho mos! and longest apeeches, the radi- eale were defeated by over sixty thousand mijority. He has just left Massachusetts, and there the radical majority was greatly reduced. If he had remained till the election was over, that wool-dyed radical Commonwealth might have gone for the conservatives. He wae in- duced to go to Pennsylvania just before the election there, and radical defeat followed. So it ‘was everywhere. The name and presence of Sheridan have proved as potent in the field Sherid _L of politics as on the battle Bold, an ie ties. Tho utter rout,of the radicals in the elec- tions weighs very heavily on their miuds—at least upon the minds of what few are left. The organs of the party are in the deepest distress, and, like a drowning man eatebing at straws, they seek consolation in all sorts of devices, excuses and promises of the future. Before the election in New York they pretended not to see the tremendous reaction that bad begun to upheave society from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The election in Pennsylvanja was nothing; in Ohio it was a mere temporary tb:ng, an accident, and turned upon local issues ; in another State is was a frand and not the real expression ot the people, and so on, Everywhere the greatest efforts were made to explain away facts and the true cause of radical defeat. But since the election on Tuesday in the Empire Stite they have changed their note and tactics, I is nowa Pull Run defeat. They cannot disguise the fact, but they endeavor to make out that the fight was lost through a fright and stampede, and that their force is strong enough still to whip the enemy. Bull Run it was, trne enough. It was a stampede, and that, too, of the honest voters who have become disgusted with radical government. But it was worse than Bull Run. The radicals are in the same situation the rebels were when Sheridan swept through the Shenandoah valley. They are utterly broken up and scattered, never more to make a decent fight in a cause as unholy and destructive as that of the rebels, That is the sort of Bull Run they have met with, They may try to screw up their courage, but they are completely demoralized. They have loat their cause. ‘The President and His Cabinet. It was supposed that after the adjournment of Congress last summer the President would set to work and reconstruct his Cabinet. He did make @ beginning with the removal of Stan- ton; but stoped there to await the results of the Northern October elections. After those elections a complete sweep of the old Cabinet members was anticipated; but then, upon locking carefully into the matter, Mr. Johnson thought it would be betier to await the re- sults of the New York November election. Now that these results are before him we have surely the right to expect that he will do some- thing. Let him remember that in waiting, first for the roads to dry, and next for the leaves to fall, and then for the snows to pass off, and then for the floods to abate, before moving upon Bull run, the enemy gave McClellan the slip; and that so it went on until, from this unfortunate weakness of waiting and waiting, when he at last caught the revel army, he caught a Tartar. Mexico Reported to Be in Trouble Again. Telegrams from Cuba announce thet it is, as yel, undecided it Juarez is elected President, and also that there are indications that ano- ther revolution wi soon break out with re- ference to the elections, We doubt if our Cuban news is as reliable as that which we have already received from the city of Mexico and from Monterey, The latter announced that the Northern States had gone almost eu- tirely for Juarez, making ospecial mention of the fact that the country population were almost unanimous for their Indian President, while the Urban population were more dis- posed to vote for Diaz. Should it turn out that Diaz is elected, instead of Juarez, it would make no difference to the present party in power. Diag was brought up as a scholar under the eye of Juarez, and is of the same political opinions. He is known as one of tue most polished and humane of the Mexican leaders. ee If Mexico is to be plunged into revolution again iis to be lamented, as it is impossible to estimate fully the interest we have in her remaining at peace and pursuing the same road to prosperity which we ourselves are travelling. As we have before stated, we do not see how any revolution of moment can be inaugurated. There is no basis for it. Should the Mexicans, however, résort to a new system of pronunciamientos and turmoils, it is beyond question that even the few friends they have can no longer consistently endorse them. British Columbia. Our special Victoria correspondent gives usa letter of marked interest. It may with truth be stated that not only Victoria land, but the whole of the vast territory northwest of Lake Superior, is gravitating rapidly towards the United States. The petition tothe British Crown which we published yesterday, and which is being circulated among the Colum- bian colonists, telis the story of colonial in- terests in strong language. It also gives a broad lesson to those who suppose that it is possible for any national dividing lines to exist on the North American half of this Conti- nent. It tells more, for it shows the difference between colonies fostered under the shadow of even the most liberal of the European mon- archies in comparison with the advantages of colonial growth under the wing of the great republic. The population of Vancouvor’s Island has decreased, in three years, from twenty thou- sond to three thousand inhabitants. The taxa- tion upon these is so cnormons that it drives them across the frontier into the United States to enjoy our superior advantages for indi- vidual prosperity. This is all represented in the petition above mentioned, which, more- over, states :— scien easing Sly tae eeaee to our to —Either that your Majesty's government may be pleased to relieve us immediately of our expense of the excessive staff of officials, anviss the es- tavlishment of a British steam line with Pauama, so that emigrants from England may reach us, and also assume the debts of this colony, or that your Majesty will ly permit the colony to become a portion of the ‘nited States, That every feeling of loyalty aud every cherishod sen- timent of our bearts prompt us to cling to our present connection with our mother country, and to count as our best inheritance our birthright as Britons; bat all our commercial aud business relations are so intimate with the neighboring American population that we see by bolag called with theas, Gata your ‘Majesty's gor, plo Mi nipuascerena sith halt This petition not only applies with force to the Pacific coast of British Columbia, but to the magnificent valley of the Saskatchawan, which spreads itself along our whole northwestern boundary, and is already dotted with the settle- ments of those who have crossed our frontier from the State of Minnesota. All these settlers seek an outlet for their trade in the valley of the Mississippi, which is their natural geographical channel. The whole of this vast northwest territory, lying southwest of a line drawn from New Yerk to the Great Bear lake, has its entire interests in the United States, No amount of British capfial can tarn it inté ‘Cenndat “for nature end geographical position will win against capital in tbe long ran. It is well for British statesmen to consider this, Let them yield with a good grace to the forces which oppose their holding possession of British Columbia and make it over courteously to the United States as an offset to the Alabama claims. Reported heeming V! of the Presi. dent on Our National Finances, The Kansas Klection—Woman Suffrage and Negro Suffrage Both Gone Under. It appears that away out yonder in that ter- rible radical State of Kansas, where womaa suffrage and nigger suffrage were both put di- rectly before the people, they have both gone under. The result against Woman suffrage is , especially remarkable, becatiko for many weeks past the charms and eloquence of Mra, Pligg beth Cady Stanton and Mrs. Lucy Stone Black- well have been zeslously devoted on the stump, rain or shine, to the cause of womaa suffrage, with George Francis Train as their champion against all comers. If they have” failed, as our returns indicate,-these lady poll- ticians and all their school of bloomers and woman’s rights women would do well to re- tire from the dirty arena of politics to the shades of private life—the married lady cam- paigners to the mending of their husbands’ shirts and breeches, and the old maids to am active campaign each fora husband who cam take care of her rights and his own, and the niggers’ if necessary, at the polls.
