M, SIMOH, OF HENDERSON NC ay :0;- and there b not vitality enough left to $ave it, even if ' there was the disposi tion for heroic treatment. After fif teen yers of eoniued jule and com plete Ttffestsion of jevery branch of the Government, legislative, executive, acd j.udjcial, this party has brought the country to the very verge of bank ruptcy and ruin, demoralized the whole, public service, spread corruption every where, encouraged fraud, exerted force for political cuds, seized States and governed them as satrapies, created in famous Rings, 'squandered and stolen the people's ujopey, sustained huge monopolies by Gjjyessive t$aton. and struck at tije liberty of the press for exposing such iniquities. t . The (Jistasc 'has become chronic. it has grown into the system and can not be extirpated. Mr. Wilson rccoai met da that "its tried and trained V?4" era should be brought to the front again, and their wisdom sought for counsel and guidance in ths effort to retrieve what has been lost, and to restore the party to its former prestige and power." These tried aud grained leadeis aye answerable for the utter disruption of l r n i i tnc party, liieir venal dealings in Credit Mobicr, f'acific Mail, Memphis- El Paso, and plunderings of allkinds have been partially exposed by investi gations eveu with -packed committees ; but the worst remains to be told of them; and this can only be fully re vcaled when the Opposition come into power. Mr. Wilson tells his friends, ' hu man rights have ever been the watch word and inspiration, the guiding tar and dominating idea of the Republican party," and he advises them to take no step backward. Human rrhts are in no danger in the United States; and sentimental theories will not answt-r to meet the demand for hungry labor, stagnant trad?, idle factories, prostrate commerce, and st rving enterprise. It is like offering ruffles to a man who has no shirt. If the .Vice president can f nor to be permitted to occupy the chair. It is really a pleasure to see how orderly and smoothly and harmonious ly everything proceeds under his lead. There ia neither break nor jir, but steady, smooth, systematic work. It is true he is splendidly supported as no man in North Catoliua was ever before supported. But much is due to bis own individual influence, and the con fidence be haa iopired in every one with whom be has come in contact, and many of them for the fust time. Gore nor Reid ought to ank the victory of to day as Pfla of the- greatest triumphs of his life. Wil. Journal.

The Vice-President is very much alarmed at the condition and the pros pects of the Rcpuilican party, as in deed ho well may be, yti twenty of the tiirty seven States, most of thctu heretofore Republican, in Jjie hands of the Opposition, and the probility that oihers will soon be added to the inw posing column, in addition to this mighly array of strength, the House of Representatives it Democratic by a large njajurity, ihid now controls the Presidency, if by any contingency an election by the peoplo should fail. These f tern facts, and the di ift of public opinion against Grautism, are in deed calculated to excite the tears of leaders who have had full swing for fifteen years, who have made political power su subset vicut to personal inter est, and who at last are beginning to rouse up from a long bebauch, on y to realize thai the party is doomed and their days in office are numbered,- Henry Wilson, as a shrewd and practi cal politician, has deciphered the hand writing on the wall, and now seeks to avert the impending catastrophe. Rut it is too late. In answer to an '-invitation to at tend a conference of hading Massachu setts Republicans to consider their du ties in the coining election," Mr. Wil 8on has written a lottcr, which is al most a wail of i.ljt jcai depair for the future. He mildly admits that ''mis takes have been made in the State aud in the nation' and that ' some men intrusted with official position have proved thcmnc-lvc unworthy," These pe gentle words for the crimes, cor ruption, and outrages, against which t-he peoplo luve revolted "o th and South, East aud West, with a united Yoice of indi nation. Mistakes arc pardonable, since to err is human. v If the Republican party had noihing cls$ to answer for bat the common blunders of ignorance or in capacity, and a fw bad appointments to office, there would haf e been no rero lutiou and no Miffieient canso fnrone. that State.
