It is affirmnd that party tie will keep the liepublicau ranks tmbroken. " Only a few days ago the leading Repnblioan new.-ipii.per in the country aaid that the ohange of a 'few rotes' in Ohio and Pennsylvaiiia vvould giv thoee States to the Demócrata. It is not doubted that New York is now Doinouratic. These throe States will probable determine the rosult of the ïioxt presiaëKtiil election. The ohange of a ■ few votes ' is something very dillerent from a sweeping politica] revofetton, sueh as occuirud when llarrison :tnl Tyler were eleeted. It i iiimto dony that the purties are now ncaiiy equal in strength, and that Giunt's adndnistnitiun has done niuoh tu disgual donest Kopubhcaiis.

" They havo been taught by thc Bepublioan presa, and by honest and 6 inoii ut' thoir own party, that Cangress and tht: administratáon are rotten, and that bribery in direct aud indirect forma rales in tho conduct of all oor civil afiairs. - The re is no longer a protence that Grant and Iho majority in Congreso aro oontrollud by tho considerations of duty in the discharge of tho trust oonfided to them. Win -n suob leaders in a great politioal organization as Sumner, Trumbull, Gratz Brown, Greeley, Wells, Cox, and other eminent men who could bc naiuod, reprovo tho paity to whioh thcy aro attiiched for incompetency, oorrupüon and iho oxcruiae oí' power forbidden by law, wiil the voici.i of the party couiido in its integrity ?

" Wb.atb.er he be nominated or nor, the party in power lus lost tho confidenoe of the people.

War Í8suea are obsoleto' Ihey are dead, and with tluin expire the pasaions they oreated. Greeley i welcouied by Demoin Tcxa-i. and Wella by DomocraU in Chicago. Congrosauien on the Democratie side oan oome int o any of uur Western Statos and discuag the great qu.'stions of finanoial reform, and Kepublioans will join with Demoorata in listening to the diacussion.
