Gay confirms us more and more in The opinion, that these
are Inc True Issues. Politicians al Washington, who see
more OF Tie game than we do, express similar sentiments.
The following is an extrac, from a letter we received
instantly
The advocates and stipendialies of the Bank were
never IN higher spirits than now. Every Wing Victory
throughout the Union is hailed as another omen OF the
hnal triumph of the Federal Bank Aristocracy over the
republican Party. This Aristocracy is aiming at the
permanent establishment Of a purely paper ~system-and
inc acquisition of political power by means Of that sys.
pm.-l 'nis party can succeed, then no man is 10 be
elected freSiden Mt who is not a convert 10 The doctrine,

THE PROSPECT BEFORE Us.
ihoush the battle has gone against US, in the House
o, De'egates, yet we have not met with q single Van
nuren man, who ~desPairs Of the Republic. We have
lost the campaign by The force Of circumstances, which
we snail be able to control at the next election. Let our
d!ssensions CEASE and all will be safe We shall carry
inc State The next Spring, most %triumphantly. The
wing presses shy, they are content, with their actual
success--and will let the future provide for itself. But
the Republicans are not c~ontent-because they know
they have not been fairly beaten; and they will arouse
themselves, and provide such measures as are necessary
tor securing a future triumph. The Harrisburg Reporter
Is now conducted by a gentleman who knows our politics
well, and contributed essentially to our victory in lS36.
He thoroughly understands the character of our people;
and paints, in The following just and appropriate terms,
IN the last Reporter, the present and future state Of the
game in the Old Dominion:
"VIRGINia ELEcTIoss-The division in the Demo.
cratic ranks, as was antici pated, has resulted ~fayorably
to the cause OF our opponents in Virginia. We have
received a few scattering returns which justify the be-
lief that The Wings in that State will have a majority in
The next Legislature. The vote as far as wc have seen
WIS a very slim one.
'The same result followed the division in the Denocra
tic party during The bank panic of 1884. In that year
the Democracy were overthrow and lis opponents oh
tanned 4 majority in the popular branch. But the tri.
umph was brief. In the following year the Councils OF
the State were restored 10 the Democratic party. And
80 it will be again. The National Bankites might as
we'll attempt 10 level the mighty mountains of the sold
Dominion as 10 destroy the ascenduncy Of the Demo
cratic principles of her chivalrous and patriotic SONS
So too will it be in the great States Of Pennsylvania
and New York
