TIE PROSPECT.

The administration party views the re-
suit Of the election now taking place as de-
cisiyc of their forlune.-lIencc the effort
uade by them 10 carry them. If they sue
cecd, the possession of the sword which the
law gives them, and the purse which they are
striving for, will secure the power in the
hands otthc Van Buren, dynasty. 10 effect
This object every possible engine is put in
motion. The west, the new States, are fiat
tered with the prospect of having the pub
&c lands the South are fiattered with the
ssurance of the perpetuity of their pccul-
ar institutions which are so hostile to the
kelings and views of the North and East
We are far from pretending that with any
PORTION of the North or the East, settled
determination exists to disturb the peculiar
relations us settled by the Constitution, a.
bout which the south are so sensitive. 1t
is, however, easy TO give the impression,
and il has been successfully done. Ano,h-
En- consideration, and which has great nfiu-
ence with that section, rs the assurance they
have, that no discriminating duties shall be
|countenanced that the Injuries, the silks,
the satins, the linens, the laces, the purple
\rloth, the rich velycts to clothe and deco
a,e the lordly persons of the aristocracy,
the costly wines and liquors and rich yiands
TO crafty their refined tastes shall not be
s,ed any more than the molasses. the tea,
q any other article necessary for the com
ior Of the humble but industrious mechan-
and laborer. The time has been when
Dch men as Jefferson deemed il the duty of
statesmen, TO favor the laboring classes and
promote republican simplicity, by exclu-
cing tho Injuries, or by making those con-
Hmers pay for their indulgence bu; the
aocuines of the times when such men lived,
Ire obsolete, especially with these who have
