TIE prospect ahead. Wit The country gain ann
Thing W replacing The L1cotocos in pager. As The
period is approaching when the people of The U.
). will be called upon 10 decide who shall he their
rulers tor the next four years following, it may he
well enough for each one who regards the well
fare Of his country to pause in his career of po.
liical action and put the Inquiry TO himself as well
as - his neighbor, Is the condition OF the cOun-
try as respects its commercial prosperity md cur
rency likely TO he relieved by reinslaiing that par
~ in power who were discarded by the people in
l04O, rs having been the authors of The ruin aud
distress in which The country is involved Grant
that the Wings have failed in insuing measures
OF relief, as they had promised, does II look rea.
sonublc to suppose that the lucos who elected aud
sustained Jackson and Van Buren, in hat course
OF policy which has brought the nation into its
present embarrassed condition, will be the ones 10
extrlca.e il from its difficulties? It seems pre-
posteroLs TO entertain such hope. And il is
tainly unjust anl unfair to lay the continuance of
hard times at the door OF the Wings, deceived and
betray us they have been by an accidental Pres
ident. who taking the crolched notion into his
head that he was wiser than the collected wisdom
of Congress, Withheld his official sanction from
the measures, of all Others most essential to the
Improvement of the currency. Who is there that
is well informed on The subject of the lawInaking
power OF Congress, dependent as il is made by
the Constitution on the official sanction Of the
President, that will say with amy touch OF cnndOr
opposed rs they were by the executive VETO of
President Tyler mud lacking The requisite majori
~ OF TWO thirds, could have done amy thing more
elective Tor The country than has been done =
None. 1t is reserved for the reckless inpudence,
the btazeI dabolical etironery of lie lOcoioco
demngoguc, 10 assert that the Wings are reSpon-
sible for the continued depression OF the times aud
the deranget sinle of the currency If there he
any indeed who honestly beeve that the Wing
majority OF the last Congress have neglected Try.
ing TO do what they thought hest Tor the nation ;
that they could have done more if they would f,
and are therefore accountable to the country Tor
The emharrassnienls under which il still groans
they are Ignorant or misapprehend very much
the true state OF The Ani il the MAJORITY OF
the people, acting under this mistaken notion,
should at the next Presidential election render
their decision IN favor of the candidates set up by
the locoiocos and Afterwards find that in so doing
they have turned themselves out of the frying pau
into the fire. they must lay the blame TO their own
stupidity in absurdly surprising that The same set
OF Dunging drivers who upset The carriage and
passengers INTO ditch, ara lii 10 trust with II a.
gain; that the same band OF swindl'ng rogues and
sharpers who have cheated them aud run the gov
ment in debt, are worthy OF our renewed conf
dence and furthermore in doing their real friends
the foolish injustice of dismisssng them just be-
cause they were unfortunate enough 10 be decoiy-
ed and disappointed in the man whose help was
essential 10 The success OF their plans for relief
| Such we say would he the amount aud bearing of
such an issue as is above supposed. Whether the
| majority oflhe people IRE prepared TO ender such
| u verdict remains 10 be seen. In tho interim we
can only add thar inasmuch as those things which
| have proved their virtue and wisdom in the form
er prosperity OF the country are involved in the
principles Of policy tor which the Wing parry
contend, if The policy they advocate, will NOT, II
fully carried out restore the nation 10 its former
prosperity we know not what will.
