These latter are actually doing nothing towards prosecut- tng the canvass, The helplessly-in-the-minority de- mocrats of Vermont are effort to poll a large vote than are the Grant and Colfax party of Georgia. It is true that every political element seems to be against them. After nominating an electoral ticket the leaders are per- fectly thunderstruck at the number of nominees who bave declined to serve, Messrs.

Indeed, if the declinations continue atthe same rate for the next four weeks it 18 very doubtful if the republicans will have an electoral ticket in the fleld at all, unless they nomi- nate negroes. From every part of the State comes ‘the intelligence that the more respectable portion of the white men who followed the leadership of ex- Governor Brown are quitting the radicals and going over to the democracy, carrying with them ali of the negroes whom they can influence, Nor has there been any pause in the negro reaction, Itisimpossible to enter a county in this part of Georgia without hearing of colored democratic clubs being organized or about to be. In Albany last Sat- urday evening the conservative negroes held a second mass meeting, the political effect of the first being to largely increase the number in attendance on this occasion, New members were admitted, there being among them many of the most promi- nent colored men who had formerly belonged to the Loyal Leagues. Whenever one of these repentant darkies would step forward for the purpose of hav- ing his name afMixed to the roll the liveiteat cheers would greet this evidence of his conversion to the democratic faith. Speeches were made by blacks and whites, Seymour and Blair and the democracy were rapturously cheered, while the radical ticket and platform were emphatically groaned down. A series of resolutions were adopted expreasing confl- vote for those gentlemen. In my letter from Loyal Leagues are be! rapidly broken up.

But be that 48 it may, it is evident that with the dawn of each new day, and as the jd of November approaches nearer, the chances of the radical party in Georgia become more and more hopeless.

They therefore haye not a word of reproach for the conservatives. Hut it is the white carpet-baggers and scaluwags, headed. by Joseph E. Brown, against whom they are hurling the heaviest kinds of curses. dn the Legisiature had no power to ‘urn out colored members; but the fact that one hundred and two votes were cast in favor of preveuting these men from voting on the quesiion of their own eligibility slows plainly that over one-nalf of the white repub- licans had treacherously betrayed the negroes, Of course the negroes will all be turned out, and this will drive thousands of thom mo the democratic ranks, They #ay, and very justly, that if they are to have no political favor, if the white men they elect to office are to betray them, It is much better to sup- port the democrats, who have dealt opeuly and hon- estly, never disguising their opposition to negro suf- frage as well as office holding.

The editor of the Lebanon (Ohio) Patriot (demo cratic) has dissolved his connection with that paper on account of the nomination of Vallandigham for Congress. He says:— ‘The disaffected republican and conservative war element demanded that he should for once stand aside, He was not the choice of thedemocracy, and ‘was only forced upon the Convention by the ies of his peculiar friends and the pressure of an outside radical rabble, which feared the defeat of Schenck im the selection of some one else than the gentleman named.

A New Haven correspondent of the Boston Advertiser pronounces it a dead letter. His despatch say ‘The most important measure adopted by the last Legisiature was the naturalization law, which re- moved the business of naturalization from the city or partisan to courts of the counties, It has just been discovered that in engrossing the bill the pro- vision requiring the second papers to be taken out by the county courts was stricken out inadvertently, which makes the bill virtually a dead letier, It was the most important piece of our legislation, and the discovery upsets really all the fond hopes we had enjoyed ‘to secure the perity of the ballot box in Connecticut, No mention has been made of it yet in the State, the democrats who discovered it preforring to be cautious. A large number of the principal citizens of Charles- ton have signed an address to their fellow citizens in which they state that “to the end that no effort should be left untried to avert the danger with which we are now threatened, we have requested the Hon. James B. Campbell to go to Washington, and to represent to the President, to the General of tho Army and to the Secretary of War the danger whioh threatens us, and to obtain, if it can be had, that protection which will secure to all classes their just rights, and save a community from anarchy and vio- lence.” ‘The Philadelphia Age (democrat) thinks that if the Grant “Tanners” run out of stock they need not des- pair, for in November the democrats will compet them to “hide” their diminished heads. PEACE OR WAR. (Translated 11010 the Courrier des Etats Unis, Sept. 24 ‘The great question that agitates the spirita in Ku- Tope, 4 the HERALD, is to Know whether the situa- tion of France and the spirit and conduct of tie French government are Cowpatibie with the stability of peace on the continent, To tha: question, put byan American journal, we flatly reply, no. It is now some time that the opposition party has been beating ihe big drum and hurling the following stupid argument at the French government:—“You have no policy, you do not know what you want, or if you profess any policy, if you know what you want, why tell us; we want to know.”’ Those who indulge in tais language— that is, the leaders if not the sheep—know 1uli well that the French government has a line of politics, and they know very well what it desires. And pre- cisely because they know it, and because they know, too, {nat it cannot be noised about, they are continu- aliy drumming about the government, the hypocrites t Furthermore, they know quite well that what the gov- ernment wants the nation wats; they know quite well that in this respect the government is in perfect communion with the nation, and their hypocrisy is the more Jesuttical 6rom the fact that if the gov- ernment were to expose its views tiey would not have a treacherous word in reply. What the French want, without an exception, and from their innermost heart, and even at the cost of their blood, is the reintegration of France in its ne tural frontiers—that is, what was taken from her by the European spollation of 1815; that which was re- fused them by the surprise, not to say the trickery of Pruasia in 1866; in one word, It is revenge for Water- loo and compensation for Sadowa. Lf the Restora- tion is fallen it is because France wanted the Rhen- ish frontier and could not obtain tt. If Louis rhi- lippe fell it was because he wanted to lower France in foreign opinion, and that under his rule the Rhen- ish frontier was out of the question. If the republic is fallen it is because it did not know how to march resolutely on to the Khine, and thus confound the greatness of France With its own. If the earth trem- bles under the foot of the empire it is because the nation chafes and demands the Rhine; and if it arms, and if it is, as Marshal Niel states, the only European nation that is equally prepared for war or peace, it is because it demands the same as the na- tion. ity Rhenish ae tee fully if possi by war if neceasary. Yes, iperial governmen: hie a line of politica that is quite in coi! with the French nation, and it knows well that when it abandons those principles the French people will abandon it in return, as it abandoned the Bourbons, the Orleanists and even the republic. And this w why Europe 18 not quiet now, because she knows this tlisea lye: Wat hau oS tim of iquity ; ju exists; that France is not iuelined to be trodden upon; that she will rise some day, when she shall have found 1¢ expedient, and when once on foot, even in face of a dant, she will not withdraw as long asa drop of ood is left tn her arteries; and before this rich and abundant source is exhausted the whole of Europe will be weak from loss of blood. These are well known facts, and the only uncertainty is the propi- tious moment for the display of her pent up anger, Oa ey ‘Huse gn aves unt ras eins tbe iH trontier. It is not because France has irreconcilable prejudices against the in- terests or conveniences of others. She would will- ingly admit any modifications luggested by just susceptibilities or conveniences of her neighbors. For instance, she Would be satisfied, instead of taking forcible LAE which she has no ma- terial interest, to to the organization of a neu- tral lime that would keep guard on her frontier and rotect: security; in one word, she would be satis- with any arrangement i RoR the Rhine between her and Germany. Is this asking for too much? No, there is no disinterested Power that could raise such a pretence, and, perhaps, there is not one that does not desire it. 18 Concession to the historical pretensions of France would not be too mach in feturn for universal security. This is the Euro; owers havo an interest the Rhine, that paralyzes twelve hundred thousand men on either side, that suifo- cates commerce and consigns unproductive millions to the cellars of the Banque, that starties all the Powers and ruins the people; in short, that k ail Europe as it were under the dominion ‘of a fearful nightmare and modern civilization under tie menace of the most dreadful collision that the world has ever experienced. It 1s quite plain that this can- not last and must be cleared oBee 16 neutralization of the Khenish provinces or a firebrand cast into the four corners of Europe. This {# the last word of France, the last word of the empire. If the name of Napoleon tmplies aera S implies this. It is yet time to settle it in peace; but it will soon be time to settle it by arms. When the Emperor provoked a congress his object was for a peacerul arrangement. On organizing the army he hn of that, failing the congress, he would be forced to have recourse to war. Let Europe make the choice. Let counsel interests, sympathies and influences be brought into action % peaceful solution. France does not ask more, and she will show herself easy respecting the form and modest in her requirements; but if the contrary 1 brought about—if counsel, infiuenc Pg ies and interes's are against her—she wi then only consult her own unshaken resolution and will do justice by herself. This is the policy of France and ought to be the policy of the empire, The two are inseparable; and this can only be poh by those who wilfully refuse to acknow- ledge ts
