The Democracy Give up the Contest.

“ The New York World , in a doable leaded leader, on the 15th, virtually gives the contest up, if the present candidates are continued, and Bays; “The narrow escape* 6f the Republicans from a great defeat is cot duo to thoir principles, but to tbe military prestige of Grant and the aspersions oast on Blair. In a simple contest of principle we should hare succeeded, and we may succeed yet if we can remove or neutralize these adverse influences which have roally nothing to do with the question.” And in an agony of spirit not excelled on the Day of Pentecost ask, “Can this be done?" A Democratic way of saying: “Men and brethren, what 6ball wo do to be saved?” It closes the article as follows: “If our leaders should be oonvinced by the result of the Into elections that eome mistakes were made by not following their original judgment; if tbose-who disagreed with them in opinion now see they are misguided; if there ia any impediment to success which can be removed by noble daring or selfsacrificing virtue, or a bold stroke of policy, now is the hour for action. It would be infinite pity if, When we are so very near success, we should fail to win by a lack of a iiltl# boldness — T'audaet , Paudace; ;-1 f' TiiA'lfi Tave not been rejected in these elections. There is nocail to change them. All other elements of the canvass are light and trivial com- _ pared with the guooesa of oar principle#. It requires some greatness of soul to act a bold pari in an unexpected crisis, when everything hangs on a swift and courageous decision. In this hour, when tbe party stands with one foot over the brink of peril, and the other on the ddge of victory, the capacity of a few men to form a great resolution may shape the d&stiny of tho country. ‘We speak as onto wise monJudge ye what we say.’ ” Beymocb said iu a conference of the Democratic National Executive Committee thalrany change which should be made must include his withdrawal; that he was niominated against his wishes, and it would be a relief to him if any other name were substituted for his. FniliK Blair says he is not dismayed, nor terrified, nor discouraged, but is in tbe hands of the Democracy, and is williog’to make any personal sacrifices to secure the triumph of the party. The Richmond Enquirer , October 14tb, says: - “The elections which took place yesterday in three of the great central States may be regarded as tbe _ quarter stretch upon the course on which Seymour and Grant are running tbe Presidential raoe. Whichever passes that point ahead may be regarded ns having decidedly tbe chances to favor of coming out ahead at tbe end of the raea.” Tbe Boston Pod says, “some peojAt complain that tbe returns didn’t dome in fast enough on Tuesday night; they came in as fast as we waffled them." t The Louisville Courier, edited by the Rebel General Bjdcknrb, in its |tenaof the 14th says “it is aeHsw jfeumesl the fset that tbe verdict

fact that Grant will be the next 1 President.” The New York Citieen snj-s ‘ the result altogether is against us,” but urges the party in Now \ork to rally to the support of Seymour ‘‘with renewed vigor, tuid j uoh i<owerd, with' that energy ami determination which will insure him the electoral vote of New York.'even if bB-othfr* fuhrr ” Ai.d "if defeat moil come, let it find avaiy Democrat at Lie post, fighting manfully for that cause und tlmr«* pninipir* which he holds deer, aud considers essential for the prosperity of the Country.”

Hon. Schuyler Colfax.

In 1866, two years ago, Mr. Colfax cCtne amongst us a candidate for Congress, asking our suffrages, lie was then the advocate of the enrae principles which are now embodied in the Republican platform. Ho promised then, if elected, to use his influence iu the National Legislature to secure their triumph. Relying upon these promiser the voters of this district elected him by a largely increased vote, Jasper county casting a majority of 395 into bia scale of success. Mr. Coi.FAX received his commission and went to Washington a member of the 40th Congress. Did he fulfil his promises? His record is National history, let it give tbo Answer. Always at hit post, eTer cheerful, nsvor faltering, never forgetful of the people’s interests, never forgetting his promises jto his coustitueuts—such is the testimony that history records for the man you bavo repcatsdly honoril with your votes. Unassuming) courteous, energetic, persevering, and just—no man can say aught against his private character, or his record as a party leader. Then is -bo not deserving of advancement at your bands? Has Tie not earned the gratitude of his party? Faithful and competent whenever and wherever tried, is he not worthy of promotion? A statesman of acknowledged ability, loyal to his government, true to the principles which elevate mattkrod, where ia tho man in any country, who has made fewer mistakes in public life, or lias a more spotless private character? The people of Jasper county are intelligent, loyal and grateful; let them rally to the support of the great represoutativo of these virtues. — Work with energy and prudence to secure the strongest possible expression of our county in favor of Mr. Colfax, on the third day of next month. Let not Mr. Colax’s old majority be decreased inJaspercomityd —Let every Republican take an individual pride in securing this etui. Bring out every voter and the majority will be increased. The Republican party has everything to cheer it onward to renewed exertions. Its prospect of vie tory is as brilliant as the sun at noon day. Tbo prestige of success &aT ,, ehcoiiipaiSodtts hkShers wi th a halo of glory in the preliminary, engagements of the campaign. Its record is mads noble by its brave, antmog and vtcterions battling for freedom add justice. Its ranks are filled with energetic, enterprising and vigorous young men. Its councils are directed by the wisdom and experience of men long in publio life. Its Traders are loyal, tried and true. It has endured tbe fiery ordeal of a bitter civil war, untarnished by a single act of wanton cruelty, or injustice, and to-day it spreads the Jpages of its history open to the nations of earth challenging any mao to point to a single act of oppression. The Republican party stands before the world at this hour the example and emulation of tbe good and true of civilization, in its efforts to establish the great cause of human liberty.— Its appeals are made to the patriotism, religion, intelligence and all tho nobler instinct# of an enlight* ened people. Peace, i 8 its watchword; human liberty, its motto; loyalty and progress, its history; it must succeed, it cannot fail, for ‘• victory” la inscribed all over its banners. Then let the Republicans of Jasper county arouse to invinciblo exertion, Labor unceasingly until the contest is decided. Tmr* not back, neither slacken in th* good work until the Bun goes down on the third day of next November, and wo can and will poll a larger majority for ScftCYLXB Colfax, the next Vice Preaident of the United States, and the noble principles be represents, than w* have ever given him before. ;n v.. .

Work Between this and November.

Wo have gained great victories, but the end \i not j et. Between ’ now and the 3d day of November, work must be doufa ; w,c must not j*ir ■ ii**i—tiwiTiihldon at the heginningof the great rebel bon, when a victory Was wonj | bin each one ol us must be on the j trail < :‘the defeated enemy with three j day’s cooked rations in,our havertacka, and tWlrainn must follow at once so that Me can he supplied ay soon as our haversacks" give out. Foot, horNe and artillery should promptly follow the defeated enemy and give them no time to reorganize or halt lor a moment's rest. We find them so panic-stricken that they even now propose to throw overboard their leaders, and take new oneß in their stead. They propose to take from their platform the whole substance of it and make the race on—nothing. Like the man whose constitution was all gone—living on the by-laws. They propose to take out the substance of their platform and run the balanceof the race on the shell. Wo do not believo that this can or will be done, but let us go to work at once and do all in our power, in this county, to bring out the full strength of the party, and increase our majority to four hundred in November. Let one and all say it can be done, and then resolutely set yourselves to work to th« attainment of thatend.

The Democracy Demoralized.

The terrible defeats sustained by the Democracy, in all the State elections this campaign iu having the the effect of a panic, and has sadly demoralized the party, rank and file. Since the result of the election on tho 13th, was known, their leading journals and men throughout the country are clamoring loudly for a change iu candidates and platform. The Ne w York World raised the cry of distress as soon as the news of defeat l eached its ears, and the atmosphere has been resonant with piercing shrieks from lesser throats ever since. Mr. Bi.aik in a speech at St. Louis, on the 16th, declared in language that savors strongly of earnest desire, his readiness to resign his position upon their ticket, and said that Sjjvmour would do 60 also. Tho Democracy see the hopelessness of the struggle, and are convinced of their own defeat and the triumph of the Republicans in November. The fear which’ precedes a rout has taken possession alike of leader and follower an€ their cry is U sauve qui peutr

Democratic Love for Irishmen.

lii Cass county, James McTaggnr.t. an Irishman of good standing and repute in tbe Democratic psrt} - ns a voter, succeeded in obtaining the nomination of the Democratic party lor Treasurer, over an old office seeker ot the native persuasion With a clean Democratic majority of .378, _llr.XAaiAxa3S--Ji»ae---->tefe»W4T" and a Dad. by tho name of Shultz elected over him. That is what we call doing up things right. Wbat barefaced presumption for am Irishman, who should only bo a voter, to claim office at tho hands of the Dtmooracy. His presumption has been properly rebuked, and hereafter it is to be hoped that no in tho ocratic county of Cass will bo far forget his place as to ask for office. —Frank P. Blair, tbe Democrratic candidate for Vice President, said in a speech at St. Louis last Friday that if General Grant was elected President, “he will never leave the White House alive.” Let Frank Blair beware! for as sure as there is a God in Heaven and justice among men, whoever assassinates Gen. Grant, will meet with retribution as speedy and terrible as did John Wilkes Booth. — When Horatio Seymour wsb nominated it was said that the seed of insanity was planted in bis brain. It has begun to be manifest. He commences stumping New York to-day, at Bnffalo. —The vote of two townships— Dewey and Johnson —in LaPorte county, were- thrown out by the Board of Canvassers for informality in the returns. This i gives a Republican majority in the county on the State ticket of thirty-eight. Packard’s majority in eleven. —West Virginia bolds her State election to-day, .October 22d. In 1866 the State gavej a Republican majority of <8,644; id is estimated the majority wil» be lesa»ned, lhis year, but that jae v <>te wiltl bo increased. lodiaaa r 330)000 votes - hj " t

—A dispatch front Horatio Seymour announces that he will take the stump in person and open the campaign at Buffalo, October 22. —Col. James O’Boirne, tho President of the Washington Conservative Army and Navy Union, Head Center of Fenian circle, and a well knowD and prominent Democrat, is just out for Grant and Colfax. —Tho New York World, the leading Democratic paper of the country is disgusted with Frank Blair and wants him to resign bis gl#ce on the Democratio tickot. —lt is reportod that Seymour* will stump tbe State of New York. —George Francis Train advises all tho Irishmen in the United States to vole for Grant and Colfax. —John Quincy Adams, Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, says the election of Grant is inevitable. —Got.

Voting in Georgia.

“A Slaveholder that Was,” and that would evidently like still to be, in a few lively lines from Savannah, informs us that tbe negro was orig inaliy sold to “tbe South” by the ‘ internal Yaukee,” und nfier pronouncing us “moan, low-life liars,” winds up by asking, “Why don't you give tho negro the right to voto North?” Lot us speak of this Stato. If Now York, like Georgia, had inado war upon the Government of the United States, and after a sharp and bloody struggle bad been reduced to submission —and it had become perfectly clear that in order to have a sufficient joyal "party in the State,.the colored population or any other disfranchised class must bo made voters, it would be done. And if the circumstances were such that the question had be on left by tbo Government to tbe State itself to decide whether the disfranchised cTiYss should vote, and the propoai-. tiou had been contemptuously rejected. tbe Government, would liEflaand most necessary to promote the general welfare of New York aud of the country. That is precisely what it has done in Georgia. When that State and others were left without any government Whatever, tbo United States said, “You bavo cost us three hundred and fifty thousand lives and four thousand millions of dollars. Now.we can not put a premium npon rebellion and reward it when unsuccessful by giving you increased political power. The slaves are now free. You say that you don’t wish them to vote. Very well, decide that for youvselves—but if you decide that they shall not, then they must not be counted in the basis of representation. One voter id South Caidtina must not be equal at tbe polls to three men in the State of New York. Decide for yourselves.’’ This was the fourteenth amendment. And the States in question spurned it. Then the Government said, “If you insist upon an actual gain of power by your baffled rebellion, we will settlo the matter for the good ql the whole.’’ And it passed tha reconstruction taws.

Colored suffrage is a matter of State policy in tha largest Bense. — The war waged by “the South” to destroy the Government gave the Government, when successful, the right to regulate tbe suffrage in certain States. It did in them wbat circumstances, iudfiding the action of those States, showed to‘ be essential to the general welfare both of those States and of the country. The war has not given the Governnient a right to regulate suffrage in the State of New York. If it had, we assure “ a Slaveholder that Was,” amt, please Heavenl that never again shall be, that we should strenuously urgb upon the Government the good policy of perfect equality at tbe polls. But ns it is a subject to be decided by the people of the State, we lose no opportunity of urging it upon them. Meanwhile our ..correspondent ought to be able to see that, ae a matter of fact, negroes vote in Georgia to-day because the white people of Georgia refused to decide aiffl-Ti r
