Victory all along 1110 line.
The elections in the great central states of
Pennsylvania,0hio,and Indiana went just as
we earnestly had hoped,but hardly dared to
believe they would, thus settling at once and
tiually the certain success of the Republican
nominees for President. and Vice President,
in November.
There is but one possible danger that can
now overtake us, and that is that the cer-
tainty of triumph may induce laggards and
the thoughtless to neglect to come and vote,
and thus swell the triumph of our just and
humane principles by such an overwhelm-
ing vote as the highest patriotism demands
and the young and giant Republican party
of the country is capable of giving.
'l'he utter demoralization, consternation
and rout of the sham democracy would ex-
cite the sympathy of their most obdurate
foes, were not their panic so supremely lu-
dicrous as to dissipate effort at serious emo-
tion. The New York World falls back upon
the suggestion urged by the Sun four weeks
ago that. Seymour and Blair should with.-
draw. The Washington Intelligence);Presi-
dent Johnson’s or tn, seconds the motion.
The Richmond Deapatcll, New Orleans Times
and scores of penny whistles of the discern-
titted democracy, chime in the same urgent
refrain. What. to do, or how to do it, is the
agony of the hour. Defeat. they can face
'with the composure gained by long experi-
ence, but the inevitable and utterdisintegra-
tion of their party organization gripes them
in their tendcrcst parts. As the Sim graphic-
ally says, their panic is like that of the na-
t‘i 11:1] army at Bull Run. It extends all
along the line, pervading every column.
Colonels, quarter-masters, privates and sut-
lcrs are swept away by it in hurrying con-
fusion. At Washington, as elsewhere, the
leaders are frantic, rushing hither and tele-
graphing thither in hopeless dismay. A ter-
rified brother telegraphs all the way from
Lexington that unless Seymour and Blair
are withdrawn even Kentucky is lost to the
democracy.
The S?!” continues “as is usual in such
cases, the sentiment of danger which impcls
the disordered mass is well founded ; but
the remedy to which they look is inadequate
and ill judged.’ The democracy is involved
in the. direst peril. It is on the verge of ir-
reparable destruction. Its enemies are pur-
suing with reltntless fury. . But will the
rage of triumph and the lust for spoils be
appcascd by sacrificing the democratic
chiefs ‘3 It is advisable, undersuch circum-
' stances, 'to deliver the Generals to perish by
by a slow death, with more than savage
tortures ? And is it Gpossible, while the
shricks and groans of their torment are fil-
ling the air, to reorganize the scattered and
spiritless army under new leaders, with any
hope of winning victory from the flushed
and haughty foe? These questions answer
themselves ;and if they did not, they would
be fully answered by the manifesto of Messrs
Tildcn, Belmont and Schell," who though
jusfns badly frightened as any of the others,
being leaders, force a show of courage" and
self-possession. Those terrible Republicans
are charging down upon them at the double
quick, all along the line. Their bayonets al-
ready prick their breasts and are about. to
preforate their bowels, and to attempt to
change front in such an emcrgency,_by a
substitution of new candidates, would be
simply turning their backs to the pursuing
foe and exposing their rears to be punctured
by the enemies steel, while fleeing pell-mell
from the inglorious field.
Such is the inglorious record of the more
in gl :ious but erst boastful democracy,
which having again allowed the Delila of
the slave—power to shear its locks, lierronc
and powerless and flat upon its back in the
slough of despond.

ship, which combines in an eminent degree
all the desirable qualities of handwriting,
including legibility, rapidity and beauty.
Mr. Babbitt has made penmanship the study
of his life, and has reduced the science to a
few simple elements which are easily under-
stood and reduced to practice. In fact so
simple and yet. comprehensive is the system
that a whole school can be. taught to analyze
all Capitals, Time hands, Figures, Punctua-
tion, and all other formsin about an hour’s
' time. The 'author has taught. thousands of
pupils in our schools and Colleges, has trav-
eled extensively in Europe, and is familiar
with the systems there as well as
at home. This system is now conveniently
arranged in book form and is being intro-
duced inthe most prominent schools through-
out thc country. It has been adopted bythc
Board of Education, and will be used in all
the Public schools of Norwalk.
The Babbz'ttom'rm Pens, made in the most

U’I‘ICA, N. Y., Oct. 18.—A conference took
place yesterday between Gov. Seymour and
certain members of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, in relati0n to some
important measures to be adopted in the
present canvass. During the conference,
Gov. Seymour alluded to the suggestion
made in some quarters as to a change in the
Presidential ticket, and said that any change
which should be made must include his with
drawal; that he was nominated against his
wishes, and that it would be a relief to him
if any other name was substituted for his
own. The Committee replied that no change
had been contemplated by any of them;
that, in their judgment, nothing could be as
injurious to the Democratic cause as a
change of candidates, and they refused to
entertain any such question.
The Elections. \

sylvania, Ohio and Indiana is just what we
don't like. The returns are far from satis-
factory. In fa'ct, chc been whipped, and
we might as well own it. No doubt our op-
ponents are right jolly over their victory;
we don’t blame them, but we think their
success "is not so great as they anticipated.

how 'these States will vote in November.
There may be a change, but all evidence
seems to point to about the same result.—

Mv ‘ DEAR Sm :—thn Frank P. Blair,
who had no claims whatever upon the Demo-
cratic party-was nominated in Tammany
Hall, with such shouts of applause, j ust. after
proclaiming that “ We must have 'a President
who will trample into dust” the laws of Con-
gress, and when four rebel generals made
the chief ratification speeches in New York,
my attention, as a War Democrat, was ur-
rested by this rcmarkablc exhibition.
Since then I have carefully noted the ex-
pressions of Southern journals, and the
speeches of Southern politicians, from lVadc
ampton, on his return to Charleston, to
the recent manifesto of B. H. Hill, and I find
that every leading rebel in the Confederacy
regards the expected election of Seymour
and Blair as a complete vindication of the
rebellion, and as certain to restore the South
to every right which she had before the war,
including the “trampling into dust” by mili—
tary feet, the proclamation ot'Frecdom, and
the .XIVth Amendment to the Constitution.
The contest presents a well-defined issue
between the friends and the enemies of our
Government.
I cannot conceive how any intelligent
man, who does not wish the rebels returned
to power, the Nation’s faith violated, its
debt repudiated, its name dishonored, its
prosperity destroyed, its patriots insulted,
and the “Lost 0am" restored, can vote
against Grant. . ~
In myjudgment, the election of Seymour
and Blair would forthwith confuse and para-
lyze our business, and reduce the value of
our property one-half. ' '
To aid in averting this calamity, I send

BROADWAY AND CHAMBERS STREET, l
NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 1868. 5
Hon. EDWARDS PIERREPONT, New York City :
MY DEAR Sm :—It gives me greatpleasure
to know that you fully appreciate the con-
sequences to all business men, indeed, every
one having any interest in the prosperity of
our country, that must result from the elec-
tion of Gen. Grant.
The question is prescntcddo the people,
whether they will aid in electing an admin-
istration bent upon trampling loyalty into
the dust and elevating upon its ruins 'a
power controlled by rebel chiefs, whose
motto willbe, “The Rebellion Vindicated,”
with prostration to every branch of 'indus-
try and business at the North; or whether
we should place in the Executive Mansion
one emphatically of the people, who has
never acted but from a just sense of duty to
his country, and from whose administration
we will have all the blessings that can flow
peace to every department of our Govern—
ment, inspiring a confidence that cannot but
lead us to prosperity and happiness as a na-
tion, and promising for us a future unequaled
in the history of the past.
To secure this end I accept your generous
contribution, and will apply it to such pro-
per uses as may tend to bring about a result
so promising, with blessings to us all. Sin-
cerely your friend,
' ALEX. T. STEWART.

Dr. O’Brennnnm Lecture.
What had been anticipated of the distin-
guished refugee, was more than realized by
his presence in Norwalk Hall on Wednesday
evening last. The subject selected “England
and Ireland—their enlightenment in the
middle ages contrasted,” was handled in an
eloquent manner, and after such a mode as
to make lasting impressions. His research
and learning as well as his powers of orato-
ry wore duly appreciated by the audience,
as was evinced by their repeated applause.
Amongst thoic present were the Catholic
Pastor and lns assistants, the Revs. Messrs.
Smith and Murphy. The chair was ocCu-
picd by Frank B. Smith, Esq., who, in very
appropriate words introduced the lecturer.

WSpeaking of the City charter, the Na-
tional Democrat of last week says :—
“It is to be hoped that seeming pecuniary
interestwill give way to what in the endwould
prove most beneficial to Norwalk, namely,
a good municipal government. Sooner or
later the determination to have the place
under municipal control will be carried out,
and a vote against the proposal now will
only be a short stay of proceedings.”

Republicans Attention.
Amccting of the club is to be held at
Headquarters on Wednesday evening, and
it is desirable that there be a large attend-
ancc present, as business of interest to all
will be brought up for immediate action.

WThc Stamford Advocate says that the
Stamford company of White Boys in Blue
was assailed with stones, during the march—
ing of the procession in Norwalk last Mon-
day evening, and that several of them were
severely hurt. We think the Adrocarte man
has been misinformed, for we are confident
that no such assault took place. If there had
been any disturbance we are sure our demo-
cratic friends in town would have informed
us of the fact. So far as we could see the
W hitc Boys were treated with respect and
perfect good nature. No, Mr. Advocate, if
any of your boys returned home hurt, they
must have received the injuries from the
hands of their friends, for their opponents
certainly did not molest them.
