Hnu we Stand.

We do not believe that there was ever party,
out of power, placed in SO admirable position for
an approaching contest, as the Wing party at this
day. United from one end Of the Union to the
other, not less upon the principles and measures
for which they contend, than upon the man who
shall be their champion and through whose cleo
ton they are destined to triumph, the Wings of
the country maintain firm, confident, mdoubt-
ing attitude Dceming it not worth while to ex-
pend their struggle in PREPARATION they reserve 1t
for the fight: but he must be an inattentive and
dull observer of the working of the popular mind
who can doubt for moment that fiercer,
steiner strength between the two great parties of
the country is prepared for 1874, than even that
5 of 1896 Principles will be more thoroughly dis
cussed, their tendency more boldly and clearly
pointed out, and great leading measures of public
policy will be examined with even more earnest
ness and ability than in that memorable cam
psign. There are some few who affect to doubt
this, and who are half inclined to believe that the
name of HENRY CLAY will not call out the whole
strength Of the party. Our opponents, however,
arc far too clear sighted to deceive themselves
with any such expectation. Their leading organs
no longer employ the tone of confidence and eX-
ultation which seemed to become them so well
on]v few months since The result OF the cleo
lions in Tennessee and North Carolina, the only
States where vigorous effort has been made and
where the political battle has been ialry ioughl
with the full strength of either side, have taught
them to depend no longer for success upon stale
~
empty defamation upon which they have SO long
relied. Words are beginning to lose thelrpoWerand
the time is rapidly coming, which Mr. WEBSTER
so earnestly desired when the people will attend
to TH,Sos. Professions of superior democracy
no Longer delude or blind the great and intelligent
body to which they are thrown out The people
demand those measures, that positire Legislation
which will advance the highest interests, and pro-
mote the permanent well-being, of our great ma,
ton. They look for action they require tina,
something shall be done for their good, and that
all patriotism and all republican spirit shall moi
eyaporate in empty words, however sonorous OIL
Oft repeated they may be.
That the Foco party clearly understand
this state of the matter, and well toresee the or
deal they have to undergo, Is evident from th'
tone OF their principal journals, and especially o
the leading paper IN the number of the Demo
cratic Review for the current month. Its intro
