Then Y. Euening Post has the follow.
ing timely and sensible remarks on the
position and prospects of parties.
The Anticipation OF The t,uo parties.-I
is the custom Of all political parties previ'
Gus to contested election, TO affect the
greatest confidence in there own success
Indeed to a certain degree, this confidence
is always felt; for without The hope Of be.
ing able to prevail to exerlion whatever
would be made. Atthe same time there
are degrees of confidence, there are luctu.
alions of expectation, there are doubts and
misgivings in the midst of well dissembled
assurance. The tokens Of which praclised
politician is al no loss TO discern.
II is manifest that the whig party is
gradually losing heart in the contest fol
the Presidency which isjust begun. They
have set out with a beaten candidate
"thrice beaten" we have heard him called,
but we will not dispute about the trim
mings that belong to the epithet. They
place the issue of the appeal to the people
upon the exploded doctrine Of the neces-
sity Of natioual bank, doctrine which
even Mr.. Webster once found himself
compelled to admit had al last became OBJ
solete, and which there isnot the slightest
pretext in the condition oflhe country for
reviving. IfMr. Clay be a candidate al
ready rejected by the people, his great
measure upon which be stakes the! cleo
tion has been rejected again and again,
until the warmest friends of national
bank were compelled to sileuce on that
topic; and only carried the election Of
Harrison by disavowing it az part of
policy, Thus or both issues, the perso-
nal issue, and The political issue, the
wings have nothing to encourage them.
All that they have 10 look back upon is
the remembrance of defeat upon defeat
They must win mojorily for their can.
didate in stales where he never carried a
majority before, they must make a ma
tional bank acceptable in states where ii
had been odious for many years, or they
lose the election. ,aa9s..
There is no hope Of either. There are
no signs that their candidate is more pop
ular than formerly, or supported with
more enthusiasm by his adherenls. On
the contrary, his pretensions have become
more aud more like tale Of yesterday,
which we can now hear again with the
same interest. drama played out which
men do not care 10 see repeated.
On the other hand, we need hardly say
to our readers, that .he democratic party
are gaining confidence and courage every
day, The intelligence from the various
states of the Union is more and more fa-
vorable to the success of our candidates.
There is no state in which there are iudi-
cations Of our losing ground, and in al.
most every state, since the division in our
party have been put at rest by the noni-
ration Of our candidates, we hear Of mr.
rangements for bringing the vast undoub-
ted majority which The democratic party
have possessed in the Union for more than
two years past. bear with united and over
whelming force upon our adversaries.

WoaKING Women. Our attention has been
called to an excellent article in the New York
San with the foregoing caption. We have
heretofore mado Intellectual efforts to procure
the adoption Of measures which might alleviate
the condition Of poor females who labor with
jheir needles for an insufficient subsistence for
themselves ard families, even to the sacrifice
Of their healths and sometimes Of their lives.
The case OF such females certainly demand:
consideration, and their condition should excite
public sympathy. We believe that the dispo-
sition to relieve them from their distressed situa-
ton exists; and that the great obstacle is the
mode Of administering relief The editor Of
the New York Sun suggests, that they be en-
poyed by merchants and others as book.kcep-
crs, or as saloswomen in dry goods stores. In
Philadelphia many stores are attended to by
females alone, and they do a thriving business.
We have no doubt that they would prove val
liable assistants to the store keepers of Balti-
more in the same capacity.
The editor Of the New York Sun assumes,
that each woman in that city can earn thirty
cents per day by labor at the needle. We
doubt whether the average receipts would be
so high in Baltimore; but, supposing the csti
mate to be correct, the total week work would
be $3.50, sum totally insufficient to pay house
rent, purchase wood, clothes, food, Sc, Tor
widow who has children. 1t is, therefore,
work of justice and humanity, to endeayor 10
devise some mode of placing this deserving and
distressed portion Of our community in con-
dition to live with more comfort The editor
of the Sun invites the special attention Of the
clergy to this subject and we believe that if
they would take the matter in hand, they
might be able to effect considerable anchor
alton in the situation of the work-w omen of
the cty-ior they would exert an influence that
would probably carry into effect any measures
which they might devise. it will afford us
great pleasure to cooperate in any labor which
has for its object the Improvement IN the con-
dtjon Of this class Of society.
