THE RESULT OF THE RESULT.

Now that it is all but certain that Polk is
chosen President, we begin to hear some OF
the consequences thereof. We will barely
mention some of them:
A heavy block Of houses, which was
to be built in our City, has been counter
manded, So of several new factories In
This State and elsewhere. One large estab-
lishment has already contracted its business
so as to dispense with l40 hands. and is
preparing to contract still farther. Agri-
cultural Produce has generally declined in
price in our market since the defeat of Mr..
CLAW was rendered morally certain. One
man who had given orders to buy Twenty
five Thousand barrels of Flour In our City
has countermanded the order. A general
depresslon pervades our business circles.
What is the causes
The Evening Post makes merry over the
fail eff Stocks and another journal declares
this the result of want OF cOntd:nce rath>
| er than of money! Sure enoughl Our
men of Capital and Enterprise have mol con-
6dence-how should they have2-in locofo
coism2
The Post canno. see how Polk triumph
should repress legitimate enterprise and de-
press business. This is because the Editor
never listens to Speeches made on has side
ofthe house. If he will but go into a Town
or Ward gathering OF his party. he would
see how industriously his colaborers strive
to create envy. Jealousy and hatred between
the employer and the workman. Wealth
is regarded as proof presumptive of Fraud
and Profit as the amount swindled from the
hard earnings of the workmen. Wher
such doctrines ar. preached universally
