OUR PRosPEcrs.-In no former contest
IN which The Republican party have been
engaged do we ever remember that our
prospects were Brighter than the present.
ne whole of our party are united to man

WORK. The great landed interest, the yeo-
manry OF the country, which ought to form
the bone nnd sinew Of every party. are wide
awake, aud already grow impatient for he
conflict Ever since the appearance of the
Republican ticket, with Gov Francis n, tho
hend OF IT, this patriotic portion of our citi.
zens have come out with unanimity and
determination in its support, never before
witnessed OIL similar occasion. We have
heard from all parts of the state, that the
nomination has been every where received
with exultaton and delight and the spirit
and animation with which its friends are
preparing for the contest. is no less the true
indication of the feeling which prevails a.
mong them, than sure augury of success.
This nomination, too, has net only served
to unite every dscordant feeling to call on,
the whole strength of our friends, and to
cheer them on to victory; bu, i. has also
spread the utmost confusion and dismay a.
'nons the ranks of our opponents.
Even large portion of the honest and
independent of their own forces, whom nei-
lher the threats of party vengeance, nor the
promises of plunder, could force into dis
graceful service, have already retired in dis
gust from the field; they have not on.
ly sanctioned the nomination of Gov. Fran
els, but will give him their united support;
and they are now, in fact, gallantly fighting
under the glorious banner of Republican
freedom.
Weakened by division, therefore, and an
ticipaiing defeat, our opponents are already
disheartened, and, with proper display Of
union and energy on our part, will soon be,
compelled to abandon their cause as hope
less. To secure GREAT, GLORIOUS
VICTORY, then, let the freemen only lay
hold of the advantages now presented, and
come up TO thework with re enoyated strength,
with uudaunted spirit, and determined res.
o!ution, and our opponents will experience
a defeat never before witnessed in the TRI-

From the N. Y. Herald.

The struggle between the opposing none
tary interests is widening every day. Up to
within few days since it was generally be-
lieved that the Boston banks would unite
with those of New York in resumption
next mouth. The Suffolk bank of that city,
one of the leading institutions in New Eng
land, has. under the influence of Philadel-
phla, seeded from the movement, and now
tries to prevent resumption at the time de-
signa,ed. 1t is highly probable that the 9TH
er bauks in that region will unite in oppos-
ing the policy of our banks
The question then recurs, can our banks
resume specie payments, and maintain
their position? How will the State and
General Government act !? What policy
will the United States bank pursue
The agitation on this subject increases
every day. 1t is very evident, that, from
the directly opposite opinions held by able
fnancers, the whole course of monetary
affairs is at present curious experiment
in finance. What may be the result few
can tell. The probability, however, is, that
Mr.. Bidde will triumph in the end. His
financial projects are gigantic. His credit
is great in Europe-his credit great iR A
mercn. An addition of Sl5,00O,00O to
his capital will give him new element Of
power. But in addition to that fresh pow
er-to the issues of his post notes-of his
bonds---or of his old uncancelled notes, he
has made fresh issue Of paper currency,

nerves itself for the dying contest OF ls4O.
At It's side is lis well beloved cousin and al
ly, the dena,ionalzed NatIona! Bank, col
lectine all its energies for The recovery Of a
charter which hero President, and pa
triot pee pie, refused TO renew in 1882. This
double recovery is the object; aud the ques-
lou which really presents itself, is this I:
ought the e,icted Federal party, and the We
toed Federal Bank, be restored TO the pos
session Of the political and the pecuniary
power Of these United States? This is
the question, aud hold the negative of it /;
for, of all Governments under the sun, res
toraiinns are admitted to he the most aboin-
Unable and insufferable ! They arc the
worst Governments ever known. Ven
geance aud persecution are their fDling pas
sions, aud decentralization for lost time their
main occupation.
What sort of Government should we have
in these United States, under the restored
dominion ofthe Federal party, SO violent
| in Mr.. Jcfferson's time, and so much more
furious now? What sort Of a National
Bank would that institution make which is
now DOIltHg Ofci WIFI ftbBtdHCc
every Republican who has not " crooked
tie plant hinges of Ms knee" to its divini-
iy? Imagination shudders at the thought
of seeing the political and The pecuniary
power ofthis Union fall into the hands OF
such party, and such bank.
Is their restoration possible? think not.
Temporary and partial success, the delu-
siye fruit Of terror and deception, may gild
their banners for a while. They may car
ry some counties, some cities some States.
They may continue to exlIlt in the issue of
some local elections, as they have done

know them to be for their country, and be-
leye that they can never elevate to power
the party which builds its elevation upon
the calamities, the humiliatons, and the
msfonuncs of their country. They can
never elevate to power the party which in
every contest, foreign and domestic, is found
on the wrong side of the question--on the
side of the British, the French, the Indians,
the Mexicans, the non-resuming banks,
and the shin plasters. Such party can
not succeed and announce to them their
