HOW THE MEDICINE WORKS

Correspondence Of the Cour. s. Eng. !
WAsHINGToN, April 5, 1888. !
The Secretary of War remains in a
very cnfeebled state, but his friends are
cheered with the hopes that he is on the
recovery.
And first, because most important, of
the Connecticut election. Its effect
upon the Loco Focos here may be ina
gined, but cannot be described. Such
care worn, woful, wo-begone counte-
nances you never beheld. " Solitary
and alone" they wander through the
streets as if shrinking from each other,
or as if fearful that reference should be
made to the melancholy subject. With
these gentry it is no longer grief and
woe and mourning manufactured for the
occasion. There must have been some
strange infatuation in their ranks re-
specting Connecticut. Every thinking
and intelligent man in the United States
knows, or ought to know, that there
will not remain, at the end Of one year,
three States in the Union in support of
the present Administration. How then
could the Agrarians suppose that Con-
necticut would continue chained, like
beasts of burden, to the Presidential
car ? And yet they did suppose it
would, or they would not evince such
deep mortification-such utter prostra-
ton as they now exhibit. Long may
they suffer, as they are suffering, from
the fruits of their labors

THE ELECTION.

We cannot too often impress upon
the minds of our Wing fellow citizens,
in every county and town of this State,
the necessity-the obvious and incum-
bent duty, of their rallying in all their
force, at the polls, on "WEDNESDAY
NEXT. 1t is not enough that they poll
an ordinary vote, such as under other
would be held as credi-
table to their strength and energy as
party. 1t is incumbent on them to do
more than this-tO bring out every
legal vote, which the surface of the
State can furnish them, to swell the
loud and distinct notes, with which the
voice Of RHODE ISLAND should be heard
at this crisis. You all recollect the
doubtful and discouraging circumstan-
ces, which accompanied the early can
vass for Congress, last summer-that
the country seemed hanging on an
equipoise, when the least impulse, even
child's hand, might have given the
mastery to the wicked and corrupt fac
ton, which has hurried her with an
awful acceleration to the brink of ruin
You rccollcct the anxiety, the dcspon-
dcncy, the thousand misgivings, which
accompanied your steady, tho painful
efforts to rescue the State from its de-
grading thraldom ;-and you cannot
have forgotten the thrill Of delight,
which moved to ITS inmost core every
patriots bosom, when the splendid ma
jority, which crowned that election,
placed your State and yourselves in
the very front rank Of enlightened,
emancipatod, American frcemen. You
saw its effects also on other States of the
Union. How like an electric shock it
moved with one impulse States sunk in
lethargy, and apparently given up to
the most hopeless dclusions. And from
that hour to this, not day has elapsed,
when the effect Of your cxertions, in
that memorable contest, has not been
gratefully acknowledged as a prime,
leading cause of the revolution in pro-
grcss. Since that day we have Witness
ed the most extraordinary changes.-
MAINE, New JERSEY, New York her
self, the very citadel Of corruption
benightcd New HAMPsHRE, and now
rcgencratcd CoNNEcTIcUT, who had
sinned so deeply-all have aroused
themselves to the rescue. The whole
Union, from its metropolitan cities down
to its smallest hamlet, is in notion; and
every heart beats high with hope, that
the iangs of the prohigate and pestilent
crew, which have fastened themselves
like vampires on their expiring country,
are at length to be wrenched, with u
strong hand, from their deadly grasp
At this moment you are called upon to
cooperate in this glorious work--to
maintain your old post--to still lead the
van in the great struggle for reform and
freedom. You have shown what you
could do under circumstances, the most
unpropitious and discouraging. Now
when the day dawns, aud the notes of
triumph are ringing through the land,

lPor the Herald Of the Times.

Mn. EDITOR, result of the late
election in Connecticut, where the Loco
Focos have been carrying out their Prin-
ciplcs of corruption for several years
past, appears to operate on the feelings
of the "little Magician" and his fol-
lowers like an electric shock. The
Wings of '76, although they had to
contend with host of Olfice-holders and
seekers, who always resort to measures
more foul than fair to carry their points,
have nobly met the enemy and given
them Waterloo defeat. She has more
than met the expectations of the Wing
party, the friends of equal rights and
privileges, and her redemption from the
political thraldom, to which she has so
long been subjected, is hailed with JOY
in every section of the Union. On the
receipt of the news in Washington,
where the "spoils party" had been
figuring for a large majority in their
favor, some of the most jealous advo-
Gates Of the present Administration de-
clared, and very justly too, that it is no
longer the part of wisdom to contend
against PUBLIC OPINION. In this "Gold
and Silver Age" when our country is
experiencing, throughout her length and
breadth, the fruits Of King Andrews S cx-
pertinent, it must be gratifying to every
true-heartcd republican in the land to
sec the unwise and short-sightcd acts
ofthe present Administration receive 4
signal rebuke at the ballot-box, our
only refuge and our only hope. The
spirit which animated the feelings OF
our Wing brethren in Connecticut, al
the recent election, will continue to
spread throughout the Union, and the
day is not far distant, if we may be al
lowed to judge from the recent elections
that have taken place in different Sec
tions Of the Union, when a REFORM will
be effected in our National Administra-
tion-and then, and not till then, will
the merchant, the manufacturer, the
mechanic, and the labOrer, find their
ancient prosperity returning, and our
country again active in business and
happy.
FREEMEN OF RHODE IsLAND!-The
day of election draws nigh-onc of the
most important that has transpircd for
several years past-and it becomes you,
as intelligent freemcn, who are opposed
to the ruinous measures Of the present
Administration, which have brought so
much distress upon our once prosperous
and happy country, to be vigilant and
active at the coming election and to
show to your Wing brethren in other
States, like old Connecticut, that you
are no longer to be Humbugged by
Martin Van Buren, & Co. Let every
Wing voter bearin mind the Importance
of the coming election, and if true to
yourselves and your country, you will,
like old Connecticut, row the Loco
Focos, the leaky wreck ofthe old Hart
ford Convention, completely cup salt
river" SEvENTy-SIx.

POLITICAL Feelings IN

and at the same time so natural picture OF
the state of feeling among the former friends

ton in Virginia, that we arc induced to lay
the sketch before our readers. II is evident
that this state of feeling is not confined to
the body of the late party in Virginia, but is
spreading, and that not slowly over the whole
union. From this description it would seem
in Virginia to be ending in modification
and on the whole tends rapidly to a rcstora.

mistaken in averring that there is universal

THE CRISIS.

1t is now nine months since the war against
the banks was begun.-Since it was declared
in, and promulgated from high quarter, that
they had acted towards the government with
perfidy and misunderstanding no quarter
or favor at their hands, or from those of the
people and from the same quarter they were
charged with buying up their notes at dis
count, and selling their specie at premium to
be shipped abroad. The comparative condi-
ton Of the banks at about the period these
charges were made and that Of late dates,
which have been published, furnish evidence
to show how perfectly destitute Of foundation
those charges were that were made and
echoed throughout the country. {,
These allegations against the banks fur
nished a pretext for demagogucs to cry haroc
and let slip the dogs Of ,car against them.
The banks were stigmatized as robbers,
thieves, plunderers, and swindlers. The GO
vcrnment was caledupon andurged to divorce
itself from the banks forever.
tits now seven months since divorce of
Bank and State was first recommended 10 a
special session of Congress; called as has
been asserted, in Senatorial speeches, express
ly to effect that object. From that period up
to the present time, the country has been kept
in state of constant agitation. During the
extra session nearly the whole time was oc-
cupied in discussing it. A bill of divorce
passed the Senate, was sent to the House and
laid on the table.
At the regular session the subject was again
recommended 10 the favorable action Of Con-
gress by the Chief Executive Magistrate. For

To our venerable friend of the Richmond
Enquirer, let us remark, that we do not find
any thing whatever, in the system pursued now
by the French Government, of special depo-
sites, or, Of separating The business ofthe Co
rernment from that Of the banks. If any
thing Of that kind exist, we apprehend it would
operate to defeat the principal objects the
Minister had in contemplation, viz to enable
the banks to extend advantages TO commerce
and industry.
