Several weeks ago, at an informal meeting of leading democratic politicians, Governor Seymour pronounced himself in favor of Chase’s nomination, and in rests are at stake, and they will vote with the candidate who is certain of victory, in order that their influence may not be impaired with the incoming administration. As New York goes so will go the Union; and New York de- clares, with the strong voice of her magnificent fifty thousand majority, that if the battle is to be fought and won the democratic machine shall be lifted up out of the old rut; that it shall be snatched from the hands of Belmont, Barlow, Brooks and all the Marble-heads and muddle- heads of the party, and that, with living ideas’ his Cooper Institute speech last week, although |‘and living issues, under the leadership of avoiding the personality of names, he laid down a policy for the party which plainly in- dicated his adherence to his previously pro- claimed preference, But, although emanating from a distinguished and popular leader, these declarations were no more than the expression of an individual, and as such were naturally limited in. their influence upon the action of the Convention. The formal annunciation of a definite line of policy by the recbdgnized organ of the party, speaking by authority, is quite another affair.; It removes all doubt as to the position of New York in the present struggle and forces upon the Convention of next Saturday the necessity of choosing be- tween the nomination of Chase and the final destruction of the existing democratic organi- zation. In every great political crisis the intelli- gence, activity and broad commercial interests of New York have pushed the State far ahead of other parts of the country and given her the leading position in all important move- ments. This was the case in 1800, when the hot contest commencing in New York re- sulted in the overthrow of federalism and the triumph of the republicans, and thence extend- ing over the Union carried Jefferson and Burr into power. It has been so from the election of Jackson down to the present time. The great difficulty with the demo- cratic leaders has been that for the past twenty’ years they have obstinately shut their eyes to the progress of events and persisted in com- mitting a series of political blunders which have left thein far behind the point reached by the intelligence and forethought of the people. In 1848, if they had gone in a solid body with the free democracy of which Chase had years before become a pioneer—if they had adopted Van Buren’s platform not to extend, nationalize or encourage slavery, but to limit and localize it, they would have utterly demolished Seward and his party, and have brought the Southern States of necessity into the support of an organization which, while opposing the spread of slavery, would yet have guaranteed it all | its constitutional rights where it legally existed.

The Civil War in Japan—Disestrous Ele- ments and Fatal Progress. By steamship at San Francisco, and thence by telegraph, we have a news report from Japan, dated at Yokohama on the 5th of June, conveying the very important intelligence that the civil war for centralized administration of the chief power, initiated by the executive difficuities petween the Mikado and Tycoon, which has proved so injurious to foreign interests in the empire, and already caused the death of a number of French sailors, is becoming daily more disastrous in its consequences, extending its range and. evolving a hitherto unnoticed but most formida- ble element for its prolongation in the interfer- ence of the native hierarchy and clergy. The dethroned Tycoon, who, as lately an- nounced in our cable telegram from England, was shut up with his army in Jeddo, sur- rendered to the victorious Mikado, abandoning his dynastic claims and giving up his army and navy to the conqueror. The Mikado accepted the conditions, and the vanquished potentate set out for Mito, travelling on foot in token of his humility. His officers did not, however, imitate his patriarchial example, for the chief admiral of his flect, instead of strik- ing his colors, took the war vegsels off to parts unknown. It was supposed he sailed to the northern coast, there to operate against the Mikado. Many of the leading officers of the Tycoon were still in the field, and most of the great Daimios of the north had joined with them in a powerful coalition against the enemy in power. . Severe battles were fought. In one engagement the forces of the Mikado were signally defeated, and three hundred of his men, who were taken prisoners, beheaded at its close. In another fight he lost two th nd two hundred soldiers killed and made captive. The Church, as in all cases of civil convul- sion in the Old World, endeavored to add to the disorder, the Arch Priest of Kioto ciren- | lating a proclamation to the effect that the Mikado was interfering too much in temporal affairs, and urging the priesthood to call for his abdication if he did not changé his volley. | This hierarchical manifesto was circulated by the thousand all over the empire, and its pro- duction appears to us asthe most sad evidence of the probable continuance of the strife. ‘The foreign Ministers in Jeddo acknowledged the power of the Mikado, but appeared to be paralyzed for official action in the interests of ir countrymen, They remain there, how- r, and have most likely, in the interests of tion, witnessed the ‘beginning of the That small official band may be called on at no distant day to accomplish facts for Japan jr 8 momentous as Warren Hastings did for dostan, using, however, steam, electricity and the printing press in place of Hastings’ sole civilizer, the sword?

In some of the cities of the Union there are, of course, well conducted journals, sheets of original power and commanding character, whose influence in the intellectual growth and progress of the country is constantly seen; but aside from these our whole press is without original thought or suggestive policy, and simply echoes the vituperative fume and shallow political quibbling of one or other of the Brick Pomeroys. Nearly all the news- papers are the. property of polfticians, pub- lished in the interest of politicians. They are like those printed sheeta that thrifty shop- keepers scatter in all public places, from the street car to the steamboat, filled with the praises of the y shopkeepers’ wares, made palatable by a couple of jokes printed in the corner. So the press is a vast advertising sheet for this or that party and this or that politician, and the news is thrown in, as the jokes are, to attract readers and disguise the main object. But the news is wrested and twisted and distorted by all devices to make it run smoothly with the political advertise- ment that covers the whole editorial page. Either the politician is democratic or he is republican, and if the first he echoes the drunken thunder of the Western Brick Pomeroy in his advertisement; if the second, he reproduges the same puerile twaddle as the Eastern Brick Pomeroy delights in, spiced with the same savagery of epithet that is the general refuge of that writer when he finds himself unable to meet an antagonist in argu- ment. These are the two great exemplars of the party press, and the rest are like them, but feebler, as copies must be. The latest emanation from the Eastern Brick ‘Pomeroy is an attempt to argue down a recent speech of Governor Seymour; we say an attempt to argue, for once started it is, of course, an inevitable law with this Pomeroy to throw argument aside, and take to his more congenial scurrility, as ducks that have tried to scratch with the chickens take to water. It is, perhaps, something to his credit that he even attempted to argue. It is more to his credit that he did not set out, as on a former occasion, by calling the ex-Governor a liar. This indicates that he has felt the reprobation of public sentiment. Seymour's speech is open to criticism. Ostensibly discussing the finances, he takes narrow views of these, and does not by any means go to the bottom of the subject. And how does the radical Brick Pomeroy expose this? How does he point out the errors of the orator, and what argu- ment does he contribute -to enlighten the public? His whole reasoning, criticism, argu- ment, consists in an aspiration for a cowhide. He wants to answer the arguments of the Gov- ernor with a cowhide. He wants a cowhide to prove and show how wrong another is and how right he is. ts a new want in logic, that of a cowhide. But where does this bring us? Here is a man who is an influence and anexample in a great portion of the party pre a snivelling humbug and a hypocritical char- latan, has, in virtue of persistent self-assertion, become & dort or moral power with many men of small experience and fdtrom ylews, And what does he prove out of his own mouth? | Simply that all- he wants to be a bravo, a 14 strength and courage. Had he these he would use the cowhide he sighs for. Then, indeed, no’ one should employ arguments that exci his indi; n—at least not with impunity. How far is he from the position of Brooks, who went and cndgelled Sumner? That was only the use of this cowhide argument, and all the barbarity of intélerance from time immemorial has been the result of indnigence in just this un hing, vindictive, Puritanical temper. v-The French Army and the Eastern Question.

Those few able and bold men in Congress— such as Stevens, Butler and a few others—who might have capacity enough to grasp the great national questions, use their talents’ for parti- san and factious purposesonly. They, indeed, are the revolutionists and the greatest obsta- cle to restoration, peace, order and economy. As to the rest of the members of both houses, they are mere nonentities, and are unfit to legis- late for a small State or municipality. They have not the least idea of the wants of the country or of those great national questions now pressing for a solution. For three years they have been tinkering with reconstruction, doing and undoing, and fighting with the Ex- ecutive, when they had the power at any time to have restored the Southern States, and ought to have restored themlongago.

He | then said there could be no peace until Con- | gress returned to the original policy of the founders of the republic and disclaimed all jurisdiction over the subject of slavery. He said the whole subject should be left to the States to be disposed of according to their own sense of justice, of good faith and of sound policy. And so he says now in relation to the right of suffrage. THE OLO AND NEW SCHOOL PRESBYTESIANS esses were made last night at the Rev.
