Tho Presidential campaign has at last fairly opened, and for two months to fcome, wo will bo in tho midst of ono of tho most, exciting political contests which ever distracted or divided this country. Never was tho public mind moro thoroughly aroused, and never did tho Democratic party go into iho contcst with bettor hopes or mnre encouraging prospects. Never havo-lhcy bocn been raoro explicit in tho enunciation of their great principles, moro united in theirsu(> port, or moro enthusiastic in their advocacy. Tbo very enthusiasm with which Iho contcst is waged by tho Democratic party, and the confidence WilK < Kntr I. trtlr t 4 U-* ' -* * ? ? Mivu tvuivti KUVJ iWJV IU IfUU II11141 IUhull, is tho best guaranlco of success. The self-sacrificing spirit with wbich George IJ. "Pendleton foregoes all hopes of porsonal advancement, and lays all selGsh considerations upon the altar of an enlarged public spirit, partakes of the moral sublime. A party wbich can 6how such public epirit upon the part of its leadors, deserves success and must achieve it. With what enthusiasm has Pendleton gone into the contest? Denied a a leader's place, ho is content to bear l.is part with tho rank snd file, a'id oven now is to bo found in tho front ?tf battle, waging a contest " f isl a.id furious," and strengthening the bands and cheering tbo hearts of his followers with those Stirling notes of eloquence which are ringing from one ?r.d of the Union to the other. Minor difficulties are forgotten, sectional interests arc overlooked, and a great party calls forth its best and noblest statesmen from the North, the East, and tbo West, to do battle for the Union and tho ConnfjjniJrm _ _ .. tnour, Blair, Pendleton; Thurman, Vullundigham and Yoorhecaj D >olittlo, llecdricks ar.d Pugb ; Ilill, Toombs and Cobb, Hampton asd bis compeers, aro all standing abreast arid uiging on tbo coi flict with a vigor and activity proportioned to tbo momentous itjcuun which aro at stake. There in much in tho cl aracter oi' Ibo Democratic nominees, and the great principles which thoy represent, to iriFpiro coniidenco and kindle enthusiasm.

Thoy recognize tho Constitution with its just limitations and sure guarantees Mi the sole bond of the Union, and the or.Iy charter of our liberties. To restore tho Union under tho Constitution, is the declared mission of tbo Democratic party?with its legitimate jxjsultf*, equality of taxation, economy in the admifcittration, payment of the publio debt, protection to the black,.supremacy to tho while, amnesty for the past, security lor the future. The Radical party proposes to build np a centralized despotism founded upon oppression and cemented by bate; in poaoe perpetuating .all the evils of war;" legitimizing plunder j ^notifying proscription, and sacrificing tO pai'tV triimuih nnrl f.!>?
