PROSPECTS AHEAD:
"Fron all quarters of the Union we have the pleas
ing assurance that the Democracy not conquered.
Even in States where their defeat in the late election
was most overwhelming, we perceive that they are
adopting timely TO retrieve the ground which
they have lost. The Republicans Of Indiana, Ohio,
Maine, Georgia, &c. already preparing for action

before the country during the next four years With
such men Cabinet councillors, it not certain that
General Harrsons administration will he essentially
Federal in its character and that State rights and Re-
publican principles will be in imminent danger II Is
