The elections which have just taken place in the State of New York and other States, as well as the previous elections within the last few months, show that the democratic party still holds a strong position in the country. They show, in fact, that, with all the blunders and short-sightedness of party managers, this old and once overwhelmingly powerful organ- ization continues to have great influence over the masses of people. Tho principles of the democracy, apart from the anti-war copper- headism of a faction and the objectionable party machinery, are in harmony with the sentiment of the country, The record of the elections, as published yesterday and to-day in the HeRato, indicates this to bo so, It is unnecessary to recapitulate the details or to make any argument here; the figures speak for themselves. Tho falling off of the vote in these local elections and the usual party re- criminations about corruption, “repeaters” or false voting, one side or the other, amount to nothing, The significant fact that the demo- cratic party is stil strong and has a greathold upou the people stands out prominently in the result of the elections, Sull the republican party remains in the ascendant, It has a large majority in both houses of Congress, a majority of the State Legislatures aud the administration, with the most popular man in the country for Presi- dent. Indeed, General Grant has been the saviour of the republican party, It was tho use of his great name that saved the party from defeat and dissolution, for it has no fundamental platform of principles to stand upon. The old anti-slavery and protectionist elements of Massachusetls politics have con- trolled the party, but the great West, from which it derives its real strength, doos not and cannot, from the nature of things, cordially act in coucert with the protectionist radicals | of New England, except from political considerations of party expediency for a time. There can be no permanent union between the people adhering at present to the | republican party in the agricultural West, whose interesia favor a freo trade policy, and } the New England radicals, who are manufac- } turers and in favor of protection. The Prest- | dent is a Western man and in all his ideas and views affiliates with that section. He was | chosen for his high office by the party, not | because he was the representative of any principles of national policy, bat because he | was necessary to keep the republicans in | power, The only platform they had to stand | npon and the only one they dare venture to | make was made up of the issues of the war. | They resuscitated the dead past—the issues of | the war—and had the sagacity to take Gen- | eral Grant, the representative man of the war, | ag their candidate for the Presidency, Upon this alone, and not upon any principle of great national policy applicable to the presont or the future condition of the country, they suc- ores, lumber, 4&0, has | ceeded, Nor has the party to-day any plat- of rr policy with a view to the or It reposes upon General Grant, and bis strength lies upon his splendid military record and the issucs of the war, But this stato of things cannot last. Tho past cannot bs ovoked to eerve political partios forever. The peoplo become tired of that. There aro great and living questions that must come prominently in the foreground, and it is upon thego that parties must be organized and exist hereafter. Goneral Grant may make a record during his administration, and probably will, that must make him the candidate of the republican party for 1872. He may, in the economical administration of the government, in, closing up the Southern reconatruc- tion question, in placing the finances of the country on a good foundation, and in soltling the Cuban question so aa to extend the area, grandeur and commerce of the republic, raise new issues for the next Presidential election. He may, in fact, make a platform for the republican party as well as for himself, and become the most formidable competitor for the Prosidential race on that aide in 1872. The republican party has nothing to stand upon but General Grant, and therefore wo con- clude ho must be the Prosidential standard bearer for the next term. How is it with the democratic party? It is, as we have remarked, still strong. With pro- per management there is a fair prospect before it, But it is ina critical situation. With all its strength it is on the eve of dissolution un- less it abandons past issues and adapts itself to the epirit and oxigencies of the times. The late war weakened it, and has kept it out of power because it opposed popular opinion in the prosecution of the war, and has not acquiesced in the unalterable revolution pro- duced by that event. It is much in the same position as the old federal party was which opposed the war of 1812, The Hartford Con- vention and opposition to the war against Great Britain broke the federal party to pieces, After the second election of Monroe, in 1820, it ceased to exist, The consequence was that, there boing no regular organized parties in the Tresldential election of 1824, it was a scrub race and resulted in the choice of Adams by the House of Representatives. In 1828 Jack- son was elected, and then were formed the democratic party and the national republican party which was afterwards known as the whig party. With varying fortunes, but mostly in power at the White House, the democrats ruled the country till the slavery {ssue mado Mr. Lincoln President in 1860 and brought on the war. Since that time they have neither had the administration nor any con- siderable party in Congress. They had some chance in the Presidential race of 1868, but they lost their opportunity by adhering to thoir old dogmas and not frankly accepting the issues of the war. They have one more chance left in 1872. If they fail then the party will follow inevitably the fate of the old federal party, and cease to exist, They must have a candidate capable of competing with General Grant both in his war record and upon the living issues of the day, We did think Chief Justico Chaso was the man, and had he been nominated in 1868, instead of that old fossil, Seymour, he might possibly have been lected. But his day is past. He {s wora out. The only one to nominate as a competitor with General Grant, who has a chance of success, appears to be General Thomas, His war record is scarcely less distinguished than that of General Grant. He won the first really great and important battle as well as the ono most decisive of the war. He {sa man of splendid acquirements, solid and large brain, a high-toned gentleman of irre- proachable character, and a Virginian who could probably carry the whole South, negroes and all, in a Presidential contest. Such a ticket as Thomas and Hancock for the demo- cratic party, with a platform based on the living issues of the day, would be hard to beat even with General Grant as the opposing can- didate. What do the democrats say? Will they abandon their old party hacks and dogmas and take up such @ man as General Thomas for 1872? Or will they cling to their folly and idols and suffer the fate of the old federal party? They may learn wisdom, but looking to their history for the laat eight or ten years we have little hope for their future, Sur Beats BarNuM.—Mrs. Stowe is pos- sessed of the genius for advertising in an emi- nent degree. Her vampire assault on Byron's sister is comprehensible, now that she explains that she has a book in press relating to Byron. She wanted to make a grand preliminary ex- citement to attract attention to her book, and did not care what woman’s good name might stand in the way. What must the world think of a moralist who thus deliberately sacrifices the reputation of another woman simply to put money ia her own purse? Cueatixe Born Canpiparns.—According to Rufus Andrews, Benedict, the regular republi- can nominee for the Supreme Court, was driven to resignation by treachery in the house of his friends, and then, according Py Spencer, Judge Clerke was deserted. Tam- many can afford to laugh at such tactics. Count Bismarok has, says a Paris semi- official journal, ‘lost a great portion of his former influence in German politics.” Should this assertion prove true wo fear that King William of Prussia is becoming indifferent to the glory of Sadowa, and that the Pope has overslaughed the great North German Premior in the matter of that new Berlin carpet for the Vatican, and that Napoleon knew all about it, which is, perhaps, the worst of all. Reponrican Apatny.—Too many of the electioneering men of the party provided with snug offices were satisfied, while the disap- pointed office-seekera were indifferent, and so our rural districts were only indifferently stumped. Greeley worked like a beaver; but even a beaver can work only on one dam atatimo, This may be cold comfort for the defeated party, bat it is the beat we have to give. Tne New Srarr Constrrution has evidently failed, bob and lino, hook and sinker. If any part of it has been saved it is the judiciary article; but the statement of Charley Spencer of the republican bolt against it in this city throws some doubt over this article, As for nigger suffrage, it will be fixed in the fifteenth amendment to the aational constitution, 7A) NOVEMBER The Canadians have promulgated thelr scheme for a Pacific railway from Ottawa to Vancouver's Island. The length of tho line will be gome twenty-five hundred miles and the capital is fixed at ono hundred millions of dollars, For the present our neighbors might save a thousand miles in the building of this road by beginning at the weat end of Lake Superior and running thence a connecting road with Lake Winnipeg, and thonce by adopting steamboats to the head of navigation on the Saskatchewan. Under this plan tho short conneoting line suggested would bring the great, fertile and beautiful basin of the Saskatchewan within easy roach of immigrants from the British islands and within some eight hundred miles or less of the Pacific coast, At the same time, with an attractive immigration policy on the part of the home government, all the cities of Great Britain might be profitably emptied of their surplus drones and paupers in the sottlement, of that beautiful Saskatchewan basin and in the building of this Pacific road. In this matter her Majesty's government has been remarka- bly short-sighted ; for millions of its subjects are starving in England, while sho has lands enough between the city of Ottawa and the Rocky Mountains for the com- fortable subsistence of a population greater than that of the United King- dom. If the partiga directly éoncerned in this Canadiau railway oan appreciate the valuo of this hint they will submit it to the consideration of Mr. Gladstone and John Bright ; for with tho hint reduced to practice, as wo have found in our Pacific road, a way traffic may be established in the building of this Canadian line which will more and more aid in its construction as the work goes on, and make it a great financial success from the day of its completion, We, on this sido of the frontier, want to see this Canadian road pushed through, because, among other reasons, we know that from the new centres of population which it will establish we shall derive a good share of the advantages, and because we foresee that in the future the road, with all its tributary settlements, will be absorbed under the flag of the Union. Meantime the enterprise might be made a beautiful solution of the alarming question, How is England to provide for that great and still increasing mass of her home population, dependent upon the workhouse, beggary and crime? “Taffy Was a Welshman.” By patient and accurate inquiry man, ‘‘the servant and interproter of nature," may get at the antecedents of evon the gypsum giant. It seems that when this fellow was overtaken by the accident of petrifaction he had about him some money coined in Wales. There is no question about the authenticity of the coin, for it has on it the inevitable ‘‘ap.” We need not inquire how the rogue came by this cash, All emigrants, the commissioners tell us, come with some coin, and Evan-ap-Gypsum was like the rest, But what we should like to kaow is how he carried it. Money supposes pockets and pocketbooks, Where are these? Tlitherto wo have found no fault with this giant for having been petrified in a stark naked condition. He seemed to be sucha very ancient chap that we thought he had come into the world and laid himself down in mineral water before man had acquired the prejudice of clothes. But when man begun to buy and sell he had discovered his nakedness and took pains to cover it. Therefore we refuse to accept a giant with money and nothing to carry it in. Give us his wallet, if it's only petrified sow’s ear; or, if not that, at least his travelling money belt. In the absence of these we shall hold to the theory that the money was lost by the chaps who planted the giant. In fact, as the town in which he was found is called Cardiff, and as that nelgbborhood is extenslvely settled by Welsh, we don’t know that we need a better theory just now. Tae Reaisrry Law.—The republicans are beginning to discover that the Registry law is @ machine which is used by rogues at the polls, while it operates as an obstruction to honest voters. Perhaps the makers of the law may be ablo, with the help of the democrats, in the new Legislature to amend it or abolish it alto- gether. Something must be done for the pro- tection of honest voters, if nothing can be done to head off the rogues. Tue New Brrrisu Post Orriog TeLnerarn System.—Tho first surveys for telegraph extensions under the Post Office Telegraph acta of 1868 and 1869 are now taking place in Ireland. ‘‘Our telegraph lines,” saya the Dublin Times, “are to be connected with the existing wires of the telegraph companies, and the whole is expected to be handed over to the Post Office authorities by the first of January.” As much of the extension work as possible will be completed by that date, and the general plans of the different companies amalgamated so that this great system of Post Office telegraphs will, it is believed, eventually embrace in cheap and effictent telegraphic communication every money order office in the United Kingdom. We havo frequently adverted to the prodigious advantages which must ultimately recommend and insure the adoption of a similar system in the United States. Tuk Prosrror or Rerorm at ALBANY— Pretty much the same as last year. Money makes the mare go, and where there is money even reformers can be bought. Tho morals of mon must be measured by the age in which they livo—and this is the age of money, more than any other age since the flood. Men go to Albany, as they go to the gold diggings, to make money, and for something more than three dollars a day, We must take things as they come, Svar S0.—A Dutchman once upon a time was asked how much a fat pig weighed that he had just butchered. Ho answered, “It did not weigh as much as I expected, and I always knew it wouldn’t;” and he fought ‘‘mit Sigel.” A Canaptan Rattroap Dromuar.—Tho preaidont of the Grand Trunk Railway of Oan- ada is ont in Missouri trying to arrange with the Western Hnos to carry grain to the Atlantic seaboard. Very good, If his compotition with our American Unes prevents onprossive fceights, all the better. Let grain go by the cheapest route. But wo this grain did not havo to,leave the United States and then re-enter it—thus crossing the frontier twice on ita way to Portland—tho labor of the president would bo easier, Wild Boasts for Italy—Compliments from Egypt. The Viceroy of Egypt has tendered a special and most peculiarly marked comp!iment to the King of Italy. His Highness a few days since placed his fine steamer Masz in complete order and despatohed her to the Mediterranean, the commander having in charge to deliver several decorations of the Medjidie to distinguished persons st the court in Florence, and to pre- sent at the samo time to Victor Emanuel eight fine horsea and several wild boasts, This appears at first sight to be a rather extraor- dinary blending of dignity, utility and danger; and that, too, in a manner likely to recall to mind many of the most remarkable and exocit- ing events narrated in the most hoary histories of the East, The medals and ribbons we undorstand easily as tokens of a fraternal sovereignty. Tho horses can be explained on the ground that King Victor Emanuel pays great attention to his stud, that he has an ample and excellently well rogulated one, that he is a first rate horseman, and that the Egyptian steeds will be quite at home in his stables, as he already fainting an Arab groom, turbaned and on suite in his ménage, We are puzzled, how- ever, about the wild beasts. Are they really still wild or only partially tamed, and if so are they intended merely for exhibition in the zoological garden at Florence, or for a more direct and really alarming purpose? Has the King appealed to the Vicoroy in the matter of the rapidly approaching events of the Papal Council and the threatened bull of excom- munication against him and obtained the ‘‘wild beasta”—royal tigers and lions we presume— with the intent of slipping them sud- denly on the assembled prelates of the Church and thus causing them to “break up” in @ hurry and adjourn sine die? It may be so, a8 we live in an era when recourse is had daily to the most extraordinary agencies—‘‘gold rings,” ‘‘poli- tical rings,” stone giants and specie from Wales—to effect certain purposes of gain, ambition or surprise, King Victor Emanuel is well read in everything relating to Daniel and how pleasantly he fared with lions, and as his Majesty ranks in the ‘Index Expurga- torious” as a pretty prominent doubter in church matters it may be that he proposes to try if the faith of the prophet still lives in the Church as it did at that time, in the period of the wild beasts at Ephesus, or the moment of the martyr struggles of the early Christians in the Roman Coliseum. A most extraordinary revolution, both in public sentiment and matters of faith, is pro- gressing in the Old World. The mind of the millions is turning to the East. The Empross of France has had homage on foot from the Sultan of Turkey, visited the harem, attended mass and patronized Catholic schools in Con- stantinople. She is determined to pioneer the revolutionary current of travel and trade through the Suez Canal; the male crowned heads are journeying towards the land of the Pharaohs; mitred patriarchs are moving from the East towards Rome; princes are ambi- tious to sit amid the “‘bricks of Nineveh ;” the telegraph is coiling the eastern peoples in one and resurrecting the great mind which has nevor really died in these old lands. 80, per- haps, is the King of Italy about to return to a first principle and test the faith of the modern ecclesiastics a8 tt was in the moments when holy Job failed not in hope, when Daniel felt flo fear, and when their more immediate pre- decessors were assured that they ‘‘could walk on the waters” if they only possessed faith, King Victor Emanuel is just the man to apply an original crucial test, and the ‘‘wild beasts” may, therefore, be very useful and in place near Florence. The Viceroy of Egypt is both thou ghtful and courteous, Republican Sentiment in Spain—Our Spe- cial Correspondence. Our columns were enriched yesterday by the fullest and most exhaustive letters which have yet appeared, perhaps, in any jour- nal, cither in the Old World or the New, re- garding the outburst in Saragossa. Since the Abyssinian war, when tho New York Hgratp wasa thousand miles ahead of all other jour- nals on either Continent, we have had no such letters as those which have given us a detailed account of the heroic and henceforth memora- ble struggle of the people of Saragossa. Not to dwell on the merits of the letters, we look upon the news they convey, and, indeed, upon all our latest news, as proof positive that there is a republican clement widely diffused over Spain which cannot much longer be kept down. All the recent risings have been republican, In Barcelona, in Malaga, in Valencia, the voice that has been heard is the voice of the republic, The same voice would have been heard at Madrid, and as loudly, but for the centralized strength of the army. The risings have been put down all over the kingdom, but the spirit which created and gave them force remains; and notwithstanding the great strength of Prim the republican element, against which he has very unnecessarily com- mitted himself, must at no distant day burst forth with new and redoubled energy. The placing upon tho throne of the Duke of Genoa will not pacify the republicans, while it may ruin the monarchy. Spain is not in the condi- tion in which England was when she invited to the throne William of Orange, or in the con- dition of Belgium when she gave her crown to Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, or in the condition of Greece when sho crowned Prince Otho or Prince George, With but one or two excep- tions—and the exceptions are becoming every year loss and less possible—foreign princes have proved failures, We write strongly, but not too strongly, when we state that Spain hag no crown to offor, Reveatgrs.—Some twenty persons are in custody or under bail bonds charged with attempting to register and vote illegally. By keeping these cases in sight the press may secure an enforcement of the penalties, and | such enforcement will have a salutary effect, perhaps, for the future, ConsoLaTION FoR GramLKy,—It might nave been wors®. Never despair, Better luck, perhaps, next tiie, tho struggle of Tuesday was a matter of come parative indifference, because the results were protty clearly understood. The voters who fought with Sigel and drank water with Greeley are nowhere. The democratic ticket held tha field against all odds. In this ofty Tam- many was the great “I Am,” and P. B. Sweeny was his prophet. Therefore Tam- many oarried everything before it, The out- siders made no show at all. They went dowa like the cohorts of Sennacherib before the blast of the Tammany trumpet, But there is more interest concentrated upon the Legislature, The balance of power there is all important to the interests of the State, because it Involves the future existence or the immediate extinction of the different com- missions which are now governing this city and Brooklyn, besides controlling the Speaker ship and the committees of the Assembly. Hence popular interest centres upon tho Legislature. Wo give to-day a full list of the members elected to both houses according to latest reports.

Mr. Hamilton has manl- | fested in his “Reminiscences” so laudable a ' desire to vindicate the momory of his father from foul asperstons that he cannot be sur~ prised at boing informed that ‘ the sons of tho gentlemen he assails are ready to maintain what is stated in the letter of Mr. Charlos | Rhind.” It is, however, one of the encour- aging signs of tho times that ‘n controversies : of this kind an appeal may be made directly to the public through the press without recourse to the provisions of ‘the code,” so-called, which is everywhere becoming obsolete. We trust that tho Rhind-Hamilton controversy will not lead to “‘pistols and coffee for two,” “Paris Is TRANQUIL,” but “a great crowd is assembled at Montmartre,” andthe police are held in readiness, That is, therefore, a rather uneasy tranquillity—a slumber that covers the nightmare, AMUSEMENTS.

H. Pope, with original music by Mr. George W. Morgan. To be sure, Mrs. Stowe’s quaint and problematical revo- lations contributed somewhat to augment the num: bers congregated at the hall, “Manfred” end the Indy’s aunouncement being comparatively specu- Intive; ‘but apart from the surlosity that attracted so large an attendance, the recitation aad the organ performance agreeably repaid a visit.
