VALIUM lbi,ii.. Kt31TlUTUi! THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. ,

TlieX'-w Torlc World Want to "Fling OH iIieTlper.' I From the Sew York World, Fob. 6. The forbearance heretofore practiced by the Democratic press toward Clement, Jj. Yallindigham has ceased to be a virtu. 1 So long as be injured the party only ty the discredit brought upon it by his character, we remember that' he had been a victim of arbitrary power, and " passed his imperfections by." But now that he has spitefully contributed to the defeat of the party, and exults in his revenge, he has canceled his claims to lenity, arid releases us to tpeak ofhim as we would of anv other avowed foe. It was he that defeated Colonel Burns in the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio, and he glories in the achieve- I merit. The article from the Dayton j 1 edaer, which we copy in another place, is attributed, and we doubt not . ... ' . . . i justly attributed, to the pen ot Mr V allandigham ; but we have seen more direct tmdence of his revengeful exultation over the Democratic losses in that district. His attachment to the Democratic party is like the "reverence ! of l9is for j ol an ancient worshipper the sacred cow. He dealt her a plen tiful volley of curves and kicks, when he found she could notbe milked into his pai?. -j The rrticle from his Dayton moufh piece discloses . clearly enough Mr. j Yallandieham's grievances. He had a particular grudge against Colonel Burn?, the Democratic candidate, and a general vengeance to wreak upon the Democratic party of Ohio, which has not consented to take this reuiou- patriot at his own valuation, "olonel Burns, it seems, did not; approve of Vallandigham's nomination for G6veraor in 18G3, when, with his martjr's crown fresh upon his head, he was so badlv defeated. Theresuitof that election did no discredit to Col. Burns's political judgment; for" Vallandigham was the worst beaten candidate that ever ran for an office. 1 he great point in his favor was his martyrdom; the great point against him icas his personal character; - but the man proved too heavy a load for the martyr to carry. Had Mr. Pendleton been the martyr, instead of Mr. Vallandigham, .he . probably would not have .l)een elected; but he would not have sunk the party to such immeasureable depths in the slougb of defeat. At any rate, there is such a con-, trast in the characters of the two men that even the political opponents of Mr. Pendleton have always respected him, while Vallandingham has commonly been despised even by his political yoke-fellows. We are- glad that these two names, which have so often been coupled to the disadvantage of Mr. Pendleton, are at last dis ociated. The fact that they were both from Ohio, both Democrats, both in Congress at the same time, and both held pronounced views on the conduct of the war, was unfortunate for Mr. Pendleton, though it buoyed up his restless colleague, always druuk with "the alchohol of egotism." But novo Vallandingham has gone over to tlie enemy. He gnashes his teeth at Mr. Pendleton for having t.oertopped:' and - eclipsed him. The representative statesman of Ohio Democracy will be classed with his pinister and treacherous rival. There is open hatred and envy on one side, and unconcealed contempt on the other. ' Bat we are digressing from Colonel Burns.. Vallandingham accuses Colonel Burns of having desired the- nomination of abotl er Domoc -atie candidate for Governor, to run agaiust him. If this be true, it shows that Colonel Burns had a justseuse of the mischief which would ensue from making so odious a man the Democratic standard-bearer. ' Vallandingham was $ lad of the late opportunity to avenge this affront. ' But this reckless demagogue had a more ample store of pent-up . vengeance against the Democratic party. He wanted to be elected United Stabs Senatr; and the success of his competitor J udge Thvrmnn, fills h im with rage and envy. When Thui man was put in one scale, and Vallandigham in the other, it was like weighing a genuine coin against one fabricitcd of base metal. Its lightness caused it to kick the beam, although it had passed through the mint of martyrdom and bore a Maiup which would have given currency to a piece having intrinsic value. A counterfeit coin is not only a bad thiog- in itself, but it brings suspicion aud discredit on the genuine It is time this base piece were nailed to the counter. Judas Iscariot was for a long time tolerated among the disciples, although it was known that he had a devil; but we do not read that the association was continued after his open co-operation with the party of crucifiers. The defeat in the Eighth District of Ohio can be very tcell borne, if it enables tlie D mocr at ic patty to fling off this viperi Vallaudigham is an active, restless politician of small caliber, who fancied that when Burnsile's court-martial had banished, him beyond the rebel lines, his political fortune was made. Had he Deen a man of capacity and solid merit, the Democratic party of the whole country would have recognized the cluims of a persecuted patriot. But persecution can not raise a man above his natural level. It can neither expand a narrow intellect, nor give generosity to a selfish heart, nor inspire respect for a vulgar character. A man who attend Democratic conventions and -grates his teeth and swears le wUl.be revenged on. the

is ty.-ti it acts nor uik-ip: its leader, is not ver; likely to 'winmore corstderatinp than belongs to his tal-' .ents an.dLvtrtuei.vWbetL.be so-arjjj-Vactly blows his own trumpet, nobody feds bound to setforth the claims ; of modest merit. The dis-propor-j tion between his pretentions and his faculties inspires more or less disgust in men who , would otherwise be glad to award him alLbe can justly claim; and they are more likely to underestimate than over-value what ..is eo pretentiously thrust forward to challenge criticism. If Mr. Vallandigham is a disappointed politician, be must thank himself." An accidental circumstance, like the foolish! blunder of Gen. Burnside, can not' make a uian seven 'feet high if nature has formed him only five feetmHey "nor ! can it give any .additional height to' his intellect and character. -'It can no'

more make z Seymour or ; a '.Pendleton of a Yallandigam, than banishing a ' pugnacious, cock from his-native dunghill can give him the flight and the eye of an eagle, i If the returned cock flaps liis wines and insists that J'8 P?rer kfit,0 "v" tb?tclou. tin rxrth ovohtltr' ana hnw if 1 a in f ho Eower of his fellow-birds' to place im there.

It is" a curious phenomenpnv if not' i a strange contradiction, that while all the governments of Europe are pro-. claiming their deaire for the continu ance of peace, the preparation of arms and armed men was never, so active as it is at present on almost every side. In' Italy the Minister of, Marine' has asked tue Chamber of Deputies for a supplementary' . credit Jo meet ,; the cost of the armament of nine ironplated vessels and the alteration of the carbines of the Royal Marines. The Spanish Chambers have unanimously passed an armament bill, and the Government, it is said, have applied to ,'the United States for the purchase 'of 50,000 needle guns, A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna mentions that the, Servian Government have mad a similar application at Vienna for the purchase of 20,000 guns, and that it was refused. The Chambers of Stuttgard,' , of Munich, and of Brussels, are discussing army bills. Notwithstanding the pacific declarations of the Berlin journals, if the Turin Gazette is correctly informed. "Prussia is making immense war preparations; ... her troops are already , concentrating : on the S'desian . and Saxon frontiers., and with such a formidable accumulation of military material that one would imagine we were on the eve of a second Sadowa campaign. The Nord, which speaks for the pacific policy of Russia, and maintains that to that policy it is owing that the peace of Europe has not been broken before this time, copies an article from the Invalide Russe, by which we find that Russia has diminished her active army to 700,000, but that 6he has an immense reserve, from which the army could at once be increased 64 per cent It is further stated that the army being no longer composed of serfs, the men are animated by the highest spirit. The State and private factories are busily employed in the manufacture of needle guns, of which the Invalide calculates that 800,000 will be ready in the course of the present year. The Carl rifle is the , one adopted by the government, and the Russian organ evidently expects it will " do wonders." Rifled cannon and the preparation of the fortresses are not emitted from the peaceful anticipations of Russia. Even the Sovereign Pontiff of Rome is studying the art of maintaining, peace by increasing his army to 25,000 men. Such is the condition of Continental Europe as presented by its press in the first month of 1868: - . . ' . The Tide Turning We suspect that the tide, which reached its lowest ebb when the Democrats carried New York in November, has alreaoy turned. A better feeling prevails among Republicans. Congress moves With courage and spirit, and the people already seem to answer with renewed confi lence. The tone of the press is decidedly im. proved. We . hear infinitely Ies of paltry local issues, ..less of personal wrangles, less of grumbling and complaints. The old veterans of the army, if they straggled and lounged on the march-; used to fall into hoe promptly with the first sound of, hostile guns. The Republicans are falling into line, for already the skirmish fire "gives' token of the general battle soon to beginl They are filling into line, and casting off smpeifluous burden", and thote mistake most terribly who think the closing line of veterans will easily be broken. ' The first election of the year was to filt a vacancy in the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio. The District was close; at the last State election it had given only two .hundred Republican majority. A very slight change would give it to the Democrats, and they made extraordinary exertions to secure the prize. - It was an election for Congress, and all the oy-jefions ot the faint-hearted Republicans to the policy of Congress, anl uspicially to measures now pending, were freely used thrcughout the District to wiu over the few additional votes needed to make sure the Democratic triumph. Nevertheless, Beafty, the Radresl andidate, was elected by nearly one thousand majority a gain 6f about 800 votes. " - ' . . This is a trifle in itself, except aV it

I '.cil-sitei a charge of feeliosr. When Olno vo o in October, we felt confident, that her peopled would soon be ah;imad of themselves, and redeem their record by overwhelming Republican majorities: If this Congressional election indicates that the change has already begun, that Ohio Republicans already realize that it was folly to flinch in the presence of the enemy, and worse than folly to give rebels a victory in order to settle the quarrel between Mr. Wade aed his opponents, then the marked gain may be accepted as proof that Ohio will be found in November next leading the solid phalanx of Northwestern States that, will: send eastward unbroken majorities fofri the Republican candidate. ' ; ' . ' ! New, Hampshire .will soon vote. The contest already bc2ins to be

; warm, and the Demoarits. aware that the urst btate election of the Presidential year has, a peculiar effset, are concentrating all their efforts to secure a victory. It has been a close and doubtful State during the whole struggle, and has been saved, year after year, only by splendid fighting. If the Democrats carry it, they will have but little proof of real change in their favcxr, while,, a Republican . victory will show that even the close States' of,18G0 and 18G3are preparing to vote right in 1868.
