No authority or possibility to change front. guments, flattery, and perhape leas roputghle inducements, to win them over to one side or the other, The result is so doultfal that fo stone Will be left unturned by either party to insure sucess. Under thes circumstances, we trus: that the laboring mon Of thia State will not neg lect their opportunity to secure for them. selves protection against the conspiracy law under which the Mortisania Uricklayers wore recently convicted of @ misdémeanor, and rendered liable to flue and imprisonment, for no other offence than that of peaceably com: plying with the rules of their trade union. Tho law, as interpreted by our courts, i¢ Hut the oxpression of English aristocratic hatred of workingmen, and was undoubtedly in orted in our statutes without duo explanation and limitation. It is right enough that con spirncies which are Intentionally injurious to trade and commerce should be punish but it is wrong to class with these offences the peaceful combinations of workingmen for their mutual benefit, What is needed is a simple amendment declaring that such com binations and all acts done in pursuance of | them, unaccompanied by malice against any ns, shall not be re thin the meaning of particular person of pe granted ns conspiruc the statute, This amendment will override the decisions of the courts, and leave the workingmen to carry out their system of m tual support without ineurring any legal per secution such as they are now liable to. ‘To secure the passayre of auch an amend. ment, however, tha workingmen must use the power which their ballot# give them. They must insist that every candidate for cithur the Senate or the Assembly shall pledge himself to its port; and they must vote, withont reforenee to party ties, for no one who will not distinctly give that pledgo. The requirement is 60 reasonable that we presume all the candidates will comply with it; but if any one of them refuses to do so, let him be n dand his name be merci- All friends consider it totally iinpracticable, and squivalent to disbanding our forces. We in New York are not panic stricken, 8. J. Tibew. Acoust Batwoxt. Avovetes Scugut, cceiatitlliliiins iy Let Seymour and Blair Withdraw! The panic among the Democrata is like that of the National army at Bull Run, It Ve universal. It extends all along the line. It pervades every column. Colonels, quar- Jermosters and privetes are swept away by it In hopeless end hurrying coufusion. It hus- Ves and urbs even the dead and wounded, The World proposes to swap candidates. Ro does the Richmond Dispatch. 80 does the National Intelligencer, At Washington the politicians are frantic, rushing about to find out whether they shall take Cus or Hancock, A Democrat telegraphs all the way from Lexington, Kentucky, that unless Crase ond Hrexpriens are put in the place of Sryaoun and Biatr, even Kentucky will be lost to the Democracy. In all the rout we see but two figures that remain erect and Mashaken, They are the distinguished edi- tor of tho D+rmocrat and that gal- lant and munificent droggiet who has just vent forty thousand dollars to the Democratic Committee. They stand like Romans in the Lempest of terror and of flight. All honor to Brick Powrnoy and Hetmpotp! They are In pursuit of loftier ends than the venal crowd, Like Tie Son, they fix their faith upon true Democratic principles, and they know that, whatever the turmoil of the hour, these cannot be injured or removed. As is usual in such cases, the sentiment of danger which impels the disordered mass is well founded ; but the romedy to which they look is inadequate and ill judged, The De moeracy is involved in the direst peril, Itie on the verge of irreparable destruction. Its enemies are pursuing with relentless fury. All this is tree» but will the rage of triumph and the hitefor spoils be appeased by eacrh ficing the Democratic chiefs? Is it advisable, er such circumstances, to deliver the Gen- erals to perish by a slow death, with more than eavage tortures? And is it possible, while the shrieks and groons of their tor ment are filling the air, to reorganize the weattered and spiritiess army under new lead ers, with any hope of winning victory from the flushed and haughty foe? These ques- ons answer themsclves; and if they did not, they would be fully answered by the manifesto of Messrs, TiLbuN, BuLwonr and Benen, which we publish above, Thes yentlemen are just as much frightened as any of the others, but, like prudent leaders, they make a show of self-possession. Is there, then, no escape for the Demo cracy? Must that great historical party await in helpless impotence its hopeless doom? No, no, a thousand timos no! Rather than endure the annihilation with which it is threatened, let it voluntarily retire from the contest. It is better to give upa fight than be killed in it. The National Commit. tee, it seems, have no power to change the candidates or to modify the platform, But Gov. SxyMoun and Gen, Bram can with draw of their own accord. Let them do 0, Let them etate frankly that this course seems to be their duty, that there is no alternative except the final dirsolv tion of the party. Then Gurakt and Corsax will be elected without the formality of an unavailing oppo- sition, Anew era of good fecling will be inaugurated. Peace with all its blessings will be restored; and under its Laleyoy in ed anew, uences the Democracy may be fo : with anew platform in hannony with the needs and the spirit of the times. By taking this course, the party may be in a condition to contest with prospect of success the elec tion of 1876, when Gen, Grant, like Wasir INGTON, having completed his second te will once more be ready for the houore the repose of private 1 ——— The Protection of Workiugmen. T ‘s elections virtually Presidential campaign in this State, as we wein Ponnsylvania, Olio, Indiana, and Dracka. Nothing is left now for the p cians of New York to contend for but the success of their local candidates, Guant is sure to be our next President if he Vives long enough, but itis not so certain who are to fill our various State officca and represent us inthe Legislature and in Con gress. The opposing factions are, and will be for the next three wecks, busy taking care of their respective interests, aud looking \fter their particular friends. Every possible ,xpedient will be resorted to to gain votes, ‘aad voters who sre not trammelled with busty obligations will. bo besieged with rr. and Gen, lossly scratched from his ticket, No new organization is required to carry out this plan, Tho existing trades unions are sufficient for the purpose, and, thank Heavon, the members of them cannot be in- dicted for a conspiracy if they agree not to vote for their enemies, In a few days the nominations of both parties will be com- pleted, nud after that it will not take long to settle who ought and who ought not to receive the workingmen’s votes. We shall cheer fally give a conspicuous place in Tun Sex to the names of all candidates whose answers are not satisfactory, and we hope that work. ingmen everywhere will pay proper atten tion to the list. —— The Constitution—Is it Violated in the Case of Jeff, Davis t The Constitution of the United States pro- vides that “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to @ speedy and public trial, by an impartial jary of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.” Has this requirement of the Constitution wen observed in the ense of Jnrrnnson Davist Has he enjoyed the right to a speedy trial? It is represented that Mr, Davis and his counsel have been ready to proceed with his trial at every term of the Court since the first indictment was found. The Govern. ment has not been ready, One excuse bes been made at one time and another excuse at another time ; and for one cause or anoth- er the Government has never boen ready, Possibly the prosecuting officere—the Dis- triet Attorney and Atturney Goneral—may some time have avowed their willingness to proceed ; lat if so, then the Court did not find it convenient to try the case, JervEen son Davis has not enjoyed—perhaps he wouldn't have enjoyed it much—the speedy trial guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States in all criminal prosecutions. In his case the provision of the Constitution has been infringed upon, Now, however bad a man we may heliove JxueF¥ERSON Davis to be, in contemplation of law ho is innocent until proved to be guilty He is as fully entitled to his constitutional rights and privileges as the President of the United States or the Chief Justice of the Su: preme Court. ‘The Constitution does not say in some criminal prosecution, but that “in ald criminal prosecutions the accused shall en joy the right to a speedy and public trial,” Jerr. Davis has uot had and will not have a speedy trial, Under the circumstances, would it not be more consistent with the justice and dignity of the Government to let Jurrerson Davis ot He will, to be sure, eseape the halter; but the rebels will not have escaped an aw. ful whipping, and the Southern Confederacy will not have escaped annihilation, caemlimmaacers tne ‘OLN, the President elect of thirty nn of people, was compelled to reach Wash- ington in the disguise of a Scotch cloak and cap and bid away ina baggage car, His administra tion of the Government saved the nation from dis- meuberment, and wiped out the stain of slavery from its institutions, For this he was murdered by the fell spirit of slavery. Gen, Par entered Spain disguised ax a valet, und travelling in the suite of a Swedish Count on board of a Britixh steamer from Southampton to Gibraltar, He reached Cadiz in safety, opened the revolution that has swept over all ond Spain, and driven from the throne the most cor- rupt and shameless of all living sovereigns.

We tender ours with the samo freedom and sin: cerity with which we have given them some here- tofore, whieh they then saw fit to reject, but now regret they hed not accepted, In view of the disasters that have overtaken them, the Northern leaders are proposing the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair, and the nomination of Chase and Han cock in their stead, But, even if this could b accomplished, there would still remain the Wade Hampton clause in the platform, whieh is only a tronecript of the Blair letter, The Republicans are now charging upon the Democracy at the double-quick all along the line. Their bayonets already prick thei breasts, and are about to perforate their bowels, To attempt to change front in such an emergency by the sub- stitution of new candidates, and a revised plat- form, would be merely turning their backs to the foe and flecing from the field, their assailants pur- suing pell mel, Though it could not be done as gracefully now as previous to the recent defeats, let the Demo- eraey fellow the advice we gave them three or four weeks ago—withdraw Scymour and Blair, and res nd the unauimous choice of Grant, He will be all but unanimously elected anyhow ; but the Democracy would gain some credit by raaking it wholly so, and thus ashering in the counterpart of the happy era of Monroe, when peace, unity, and prosperity reigned in all our borders. If the Democracy are not prepared to adopt this course, they must fight it out on the present line, and make up their minds to fall in November with their backs to the field and their feet to the foe. They must do eomeAing immediately, or all is lost, even honor, ns One of the most energetic and self-sacri- ficing jurists of the Democratic persuasion in town is the Hon, Jon H. McCuxx, We met him yesterday about five P.M, He looked gay and festive as ever, notwithstanding his hereulean labors in the manufacture of American citizens, When he left us he seemed to have had «good dinner, and said that he was about to open the Superior Court, and would continue to ru the mill till midnight, This is a fair specimen of tho patriotic seat which distinguishes the judiciary of New York at this critical period, We are conf- dent that it will not be forgotten when the time for their redleetion comes round. By the way, if the Judge would exhibit the same energy in push: ing through the causes now on. trial before him, he might help to stave off that dissolution of the Superior Court for which lawyers aud clieuts are sald to be laboring. —— To the following note, which hos been ad. ed to the Editor of Tue Bex, we basten to five the hospitality of our columns: My Dran Sin: I sincerely trust, should you make any comments on my recent correspondence, that jo so.
