The Prospects of tio Campaign. We have already *ivi 'ir readers ,so,nm specimens ot the admirable style in which the Round Table reviews the progress and events of the Presidential campaign ; we are sure they will thank us for transferring to our columns the following leader from (lie last number 'VT t't.'st'rling and spirit. ed paper : The Proidential campaign so,far hiis consisted in preparation rather thainp con, flict. 'I lie combatants have been sharpen ing their arms, measuring,iieir distances And accumulating their resources; but .pegi,rhi'r has yet acttially taken the field. 'runipet-s of ikilance tiO .fsh-hortns of virtuperation have been sounded on both sides in a manner sufficiently discicditable, and t1),I respective candidates havq, been so satisfiaotorily proved to ~ tie, basest of xmankind that ilba-Itlipr'\ seem to possess Any moral advantago over . h tYir The mouth pieces of each 'fairly contest ,he paln for pro-eminence in blaokguardisn ; and Air. Greeley's La Crosse Republican is neck and nook with Mr. Pomeroy's La Crosse Democrat. Superficially speakitig, the chances of the two parties may ep r to. be0.r.elatively~ uin. changed, and thg robability therefore, woukd seem to be yas'tl3i n favor of the elec tion of' General Qri,nlt Our convict ion was 'freely expressed a't. the titme of the New York nomination, that, in selecting Glover nor Boyinour for tht,ir standard-'bearer, the Democrats had sot~a.sesi, to their own. .dge feat. Did we jutdg merely from indications en the surface, this. oonvetlon might re.. main unchanged. ,e have, however, he conmc persuaded thiJt,herp is a powerful undear-current, of pppular dissatisfac,tion with Radical rule , nd Radical mneasn'r~es which is gaining rAt ,er than losing strength with the passage of limo, and that, ggnse. quently, the chances,, whiich at present we estimate as nearly evenl, nay incline; in November, in a victorious degree, to the Democratic side. It Is plain that,--notwithstanding the af sistance of somo o0, thgir old timo allies the fire-eating zealpts of the Sottth-the es, forts of the Rtadionis to affix to the D,rn?; oratio,'cause the stigma of u4iloyalty, or, in genergf ef attachng,nt to dead. and gene unpopiular issues, 'tgoets no sympat,hetic ro sponse from the great body of the people. , ar is not to be fought over again, ui 1lavory to be revived.

In a word, there is po distinctive principle or measure on eithpr side which is likely to ou~t.w%lggh with the b.'ilk of voters 1.he~i con. vYiQti.lu on tile tlhject, of reconstuionb.

In the at-. renco of specific ple.ogs, or, indeed, of any defnnite or uncheck i. control bearing upon matters of exohequner so far as preference manahes, to cit her tn' Democratic can,i ,ttt should Imanifestly be th o favorite. But 1he outrageous.. blul.trs of the party Jn1 power In all things relating to this j1omn tousisubject, tLAir utter want of anything like sett led or permanent. policy, the enor mons injury they have indicted upon nenr 13 qvcry business interest in the country by their proorastimat ions, their uncertainties and their ignorance, undoubtedly have per sutded thousands of sober-minded men that. on this ground alonq any possible change in adjiinistrat ion would be, a . c1auge ,for. the better. Most eertainly, no couceivale par ty or policy enold be worse than those Ihat, by ret'using to rteform the civil service, have refused in a time of unprecedented public burdens to save the country sixty-tive ril lions of dollars, I% y,ear ; and who, by their connivarge with whiskey.f,auds, have im. poverishie( the Treasury to an amount equi,I to more than.half the entire present annual revenue. Now, all this cheating, imbecility and folly may be inseperable front loyalty and hatred i.Copperheads and dislnterested love of negrooz ; but if they are, being of very palpable injury to the national. ipter ests, white their inevitable adjuncts.l. are of but theoretic advantage, it seems exqooding ly likely that a practical people may . pre fer, apart from all other issues, to.1:iothemi selves of the whole load or euch good, bad and doubtful qu-4lities together. But the election hinges upon reconstruo tion, to which all other questions, however important., are evidently to be reckoned as subordinate. The iepublicans, well kpow ingtheir vuluerablo side, deprecate this view of-the case with refreshing sit#plicity. The issue of reconstruction, say they, is closed by events. Reconstruction is a thing accoiplished. Hence it is inadimis sible, or at. least unprofitable. to distuss the wisdoi of ilie process. In other words, a preniun should be offered for all future timo to encourage rancorous, procipitato aindt uconstitut ional legislation witi t'le promised rsult of vitiating every establish ed element of the United States Govern ment and insuring 4s early overthrow. The national history has been eventful and un ique, and, particularly of late years, has presented unexpected vicissitudes ; but we do not yet believe that Americans are pro pared withot, revision to accol t, a solution of their great social and political problem which, irrevocable thereafter, without, bloodshed, involves the negation of a hith, eito cherished atid signally important prin ciple of their constitution. Already we hear from numerous points accounts of collisions whi<h have been re peatedly foreshadowed in these columns as inevitable it' a political equality by many deemed unna'urnl, and which iirany mode rate view was at least premature, were forc ed upon the stiperior race of the Southern people. Already the results of an amazing want of statesmanship, to say nothing of orainary tact or generous feeling, arO be coming critically manifest. Already crazy fa.taticismu is exulting over secondary symp taonis that, it, fails to see, may prove the me dioine to I.ave been even worse than the dis ease. The remarkable unpopularity of Gen. Grant mneanwhilO appears to increase from day to day. Whether it is that, the puople instinct1vely realize the impropriety in a republic of placing a military mau as chinf ruler9ver territory hypothetically free, but which his sword has subdued, or that, lie conmnander-in-oiief's personal oharao terist ics beget. a constantly augmenting dis like, it, is certainly true that for no military 1ian tver preseited as a candidate for the J'rPOtency in this country has there been so.l1ittle genuine e9tlhusiasin. The weak ness of some party of the Democratic plot form and tho.,ridiculous indiscretions of sone Deipqcratie speech makers, are per. Imps moro than counterbalanced in noxious etliency by General Oraiq'.s HtQr want of niingnetism, and ilie mistrust or dislike with which he is regarded by the people. It is probable that at. this moment. twenty five p,ir cent of the voters who will partici Iato U i Oa.cqjning election have not. yQt.ro solved for whon,,the,ir ballpt-4 shall-be cast. Upon the votes of this fraction the issue probably hangs, and circumstances may still so fall out. as to throw the preponder anco on the Republican side. From pres ent indications, however, we are led to be liose that the three great States of New York. Pentnsyiyania ai1d Ohio, will throw thtetmselves int o the scalet f'or~ .Symouir and Blair; anid, should they (do 5o; . iot--all the hosts of New England, backed as they may be by the WVest atid South, by voters black or whito, constitutional or unconstitu - tional, will avail to prevent the Republicani forces from kickiig the beam, SiHocttNG MUtuDt(n IN WYiLLIAeinUno S.

The Detroit Free Press gives the sub joiied account of -a most ludicrous critas trophe which occurred at a colored festi. val ithat came on' in a gymnasium hall in tlit, city on Monday evening last: . The colored. population assembled were enjoying tletiuselves hugely. The ivory shone resplendent, the lassies were in Iolight, and the gemmien ol'color could :wt Show oif one-half. the joy they felt on the occation. 'They- ached to find nl'w m11ans of displaying their ecstacy, and with it their agility. At last some one discovered the ladder which extends across the hall for exercise in hvging by 1 he hands, and ; moving bnckwa rd and forili by .hose r.wans. sieveral anbitions young fellows in stantly set off and exercised in this way for some timo; hut, as the table of re freshments was sot immediately under. neat, the sport was forbidden. But the temptation was .too great. to be re sistd, and tli chance . of .display too good to be lost, and pletty .o.ou .

A frantic shriek of dismay rent the air for blocks aromd ; imprecations, cries and laughter followed, and aI indescrib able scene of confusion iled Ie hall.. "Git o' dat grub, yoi culind cuss I" yelled the waiter. "Oh, fjord !" shriek. I)inah, "de.dinnus donfe spiled, fo' shu"; and a thousand other lamentations and ejaculations were heard in intermingled o nfusion. At last, the overpowering ludicrousness of the situation burst upon . the party ; they forgot their losses and lhe scenes aofnd them, and burst into the wrllest guffaws of boisterous laugh. Ler. Pen or pencil could not. do jnstice t:> the scene. It could only be apprecia. ted,by an eye witness. SIGNS OF TH uTnM Es.-There are l. remly many assurances of victory for the Democratic and constitutional prin. eiple candidates the approaching No vemlier. .. Firsf.--The Dlmocratic )party are united the first time in ten years, and the accessions to the party from time old lige "Wh.gs and Conservative Re tial. .. . I . , ,. ., Arecond.-The country is weary of war and conflict in a time of peace. The conntry prays for rest, and the people for that .peacenid quiet which neover can he obtained so long~ as the Jacobini pirty are in power. 7Ihird.-The only souend hope for bu siness men in the fi'ture, and for the full restoration of-the Union, is in. the. suic cess of thio Democratic nominations. Democratic success means not alone con stitutional liberty, equil, taxes, and a bettor state of feeling anid business, bm4 it. mens that con fien1ce, in repumbicgn, instiohis which has nor, been felt in ten years. Fourth. -The Jacobins are divided. They call each other hard names. Have no. confidence ig.e.atig o.her. Hav.e none~m inted 'their -, candid ite~s :oii -- th6. 'sold 'ground of' expefliency,-and have nio bon,d of tinion but the wveak 'sand miserable bond of hostility to tho Democratic par. Ifiunally,.-the.sticcess of the Democrat ic party moans the 'reduction of' the standing army one..half at least, and a saving thereby of fifty millions of dollars pier tnnum. It means, also, reduced t.aes,--greate- economy arid a stricter licountabili'y to the people. The more its candidates and platform are studied thle more popular thoy will prove. Sm.0F.SSi .-Montgomery Blair was a trusteda.ouinsellor of Mr. Lincoln and a bitter foo. of secession.

And Still They Como I A JACOIN JOUINAL CHANOES PuO ORAMiE. The Ripson ( is.) Representatioc, hithrto ai inihtential Jacobin organ, openly, boldly, defiantly deserts . the Jacobin party and identifies itself with the National Union Democracy. If liese desertions froir. Jaeobinisn con tinue until November, there will not be a grease spot left to mark the spot ,whure the .Jacobin party was buried. In anouncing ils change from Jacobill. ium to Democracy, the Rcpresentativa says: -For the past year we hav.e beet faiing, slowly and surely failing, and% to-day we give up the ghost. We have not i these twelve months been failing in health, nor have.we pecuniarily suif fered much !oss. It is politically that we have 'gone np.' WO fail to see that the black republican party is what it should be, or what many of its friends im years past sipposed it was the inten. tion of the leaders to make it. The ghost which we have given up is radi. (a] republicanism. FromI ,his day' henceforth and forever" to the Limo when we are planted beneath the sod under which all Jacobins and Democrats must sooner or h4terlie, we shall advocate, in our feeble way, the principlus: of Diemo. Cracy. Iienceforth we are a Democrat. '/e want it distinctly understood, as %ve wish to receive all the cursing from Jacobins as soon as convenient. There are many causes which have led to this decided :change in the politics of tils paper. .The primo causQ is the total failure of- the party to do a single thming toward the reconstruction of the country. The leaders appear to us not to care a continental what happens to a State, if sho don't cast a black republican vote. The government supiorts niggers in idleness, because they vote the black republican ticket; ad starves white men, because they do not.. This white men cannot allow. They will not allow it. Tho leaders of the black republicin party are political hacks-renegades from the Democratic ranks-men whose characters are spov.ed, and who care no more for the welfareof the country thar we do for the Cannibal Islands. They are notorious thieves, amid leave no st.ome unturned to accumulate greenbacks, re gardless of the people whom they mis represent. We cannot.live-in the house with such neighbors,hence wo retire.. In our retirement...we chall doubtless hav. somethi.ng to say hereafter that will no: suit these political thieves, and what we say will be plain and to the point. I The nomination of Gen. Grant.for President by the hon convention has sickened thousands of black republicans throughout the land. They looked upon tihe nomination as an acknoivl edgement of the fact that the party dare not nominato.its best men, for fear of ignominious defeat, which they will sustain noxt November as sure as that time comes. They wvant to ride into po.wer on the General's.military pow er, not caring whether lie knows any. thing or not." AN EFFICIENT WEAPoN.-T. b o great advantage of the Winchester rille pvergilli others does not consist solely i-4cin'g-- able to deliver Oighteei shots in nine seconds, but in the moral effect it has (either upon an army or an individual), for if there is a any.
