CHEERFUL pRospEcrs

Beam on the eye of the Republican and Of
every friend to the great and just contest in
which we are engaged, ON whatever side we
look. The present Campaign, it is true, has
not, that we vet know, been signaiized by A.
NJ very brilliant military or naval exploit.
There is yet time enough, and reason too.
TO anticipate all the success which indicate
gable industry and undaunted courage can
achieve on the waters, shores and vicinities
OF Lake Ontario and Champlain and the ST..
lawrence river, MOI to speak of Interior OBJ.
eratlons which time will deyelope.
Meanwhile. at home, how glorious is the
triumph OF principle How ascendant the
virtue of the people! The election in the
great and powerful state of New.York. re-.
sulting IN the complete success of the Rcpub !.
lican party, has at once overthrow the pro
jects OF disorganizers and the hope of oppo-
sition. New York is with the general 90
verpment-and its colossal power and Infiu
ence will give vigor TO its operations by CO...
incidence OF action. instead of lending its aid !.
as the Jacobins of the East vainly hoped and
predicted 1t would, in moral or physical
effort to stop the wheels of government
The representation of that state in Congress
will also be essentially changed in our favor.
and completely secure the Republican party
from any diminution of the preponderance in
the Fourteenth which, now possesses in the
Thirteenth Congress. A decided Republic
can majority is thus ensured in the House of
Representatives for three years to come
On this prospect we congratulate our rca.

speeches in Cor gress against it; maugre the
entreaties and menaces of the factious prints
directed to those who were disposed to lend
their money; maugre the Liberal policy of
the Boston Banks in drawing the specie in.
to their vaults; maugre their general refu.

OF the Essex Junto were entirely without eff,
feet; but we do mean 20 say that the des.
picable spirit infused by them into the com.
munity of wealth in thai vicinity, scarcely
extends beyond the limits of Boston. and has
proved as impotent to accomplish its object
as could be wished, either for the honor Of
the country or the credi of the go, eminent.
Let US rejoice in moderation, at these sc~.
currences. Let our brethren in MARYLAND
and elsewhere look 10 New York for exam.
pie, and initiate her uagnanmity. Let them
shake on the incubus which bewilders their
faculties.
Among other prospects, many dwell with
confidence and delight upon the prospect Of
peace. If our enemy please it, we shall
have an HONORABLEPE ACE-an event
we should greet with heart felt pleasure
But if our enemy persists in her wrongs we
shall have VIGOROUS WAR. Ina, the
people will support the government, in il. j,
proved by the glorious issue Of the New
York Election whilst the result Of the Loan
proves that the government will find no Diff

liberal people, the Ways and Means to car

aIichabIe rights.
