THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION OF lss7

1nefe can De no HlSakG HI S6IlS LIUlCS There is deep and overwhelming revolution now rpening in commerce and in politics-a radical change i'll all the great business avenues of life rapid ly approaching crisis throughout the country. Du ring the last two three years our commercial and political speculatOrS have soWn the WhirlWlnd-nOW they begin to reap the storm.
 Preparations making in this city for an election that involves general revolution throughout the Un- ion. There can be mistake. We hear tive see tive feel tive can put our right finger upon it.
 During the last three four years the democratic certain principles in politics and trade for the purpose of calling to their aid the organized mob to put down large banking institution-the United States Bank. To subserve the wretched purpose o the moment ths rch-they organized ferocious feeling against banks and all the institutions of commerce. at the same mo ment that they themselves were creating in another quarter such institutions by the score The gross in- consistency of their principles and practces-the inn pudent tergiversatons of their councils at Iammany Hal-and their conduct at Albany and Washington tempt of their duped supporters. How could it be otherwise !? The democrats of Tammany Hall avow- ed, in the breath hostility to the U. $. Bank, and friendship to five hundred banks, all equally as corrupt and aristocratc What is the consequence of such Inconsistencies this gross attempt at deuslon complete revusion in their own ranks and the ere aton of party which in spite of the folly of such men as Ming and his compatrots, appears to be in- creasing and multiplying at every step: Such IS the fruit of treachery. intrigue, and avarce Tn one party

 of the banking institution-whe its ancient antago- niss divided and torn into factions without end on that very point.
 In this condition does the dominant party come into the field at the approaching election. Their gross n- constituencies the subject of banks-their atrocious specuaons in lands, cotton, paper currency-the rse of prices and rents in consequence of these specua tons-are accommodating upon their head one ot
 the most astonishing revolutions that the city ot New York exemplified, or the Union ever saw: We view the field of politics from a neutral and independent position without caring who beats or who gets beat and it deliberate opinion, from the currents now setting in, that overwhelming defeat no party ever sustained than Tamnlany may expect to meet next week. All the men of sense-all the, prudent mechanics-all the shrewd journeymen yet lingering at Tammany Hal will soon as that place loses it's
 prestige the W5 d swell ssnr heT yet contains great many such men-men of sense--- who merely continue from the belief that its power is invunerabe; but the moment that they see and feel this power gone, they are gone;
 Every thing conspres to predict and point out such n result. The imbecifty and weakness ot MT. Van Burens admnistration already begin to be develop grnve-it is afraid of it's own shadow. MT. Van Bu- ren can inspire nothing like spark of true courage into the dropping hearts of his followers. =.
 triumph to the wings begins revolution that will rally the whole country. A revolution in commerce wifi also go on at the same time and thus bring down prices and the expenses of living From the ranks Of Tammany, crowds will flock over to the wings as soon as shall be known that they to be rulers of this country hereafter.
 Thus do we see that the destruction of the present dominant party has been caused by themselves. The terrible tergiversations-the corrupt principes-the opposition to one bank on principle and support of five hundred for proft-the atrocious land specuations- the impulse they have given to those movements pGce-are all now coming up to secure theirust pun ishment and to meet their proper vengeance. Look out of that political building, it will like the Josephi come-a great change is at hand-.the whole country
 is in the midst of an entire and radical revolution | in politics and in commerce. Nothing can stop it, with the dominant party, want to save their charac ters, let them escape|et them feelet them pack uT the few principles they have and be off.
