The INTERESTS AT SrAkE. When we review
the difficulties and EN- ,arrassment into which the
policy of few past years has thrown our State
We confess there seems TO be nothing desirable in
Ahe possession of the veius Of government this
fall. Thus many Of our friends, but for other
inleresis, would be disposed to let the regning
party pass on in the uudisturbcd possession OF
power, for no other reason than to see low they
will extricale themselves from the position into
which their coudue, has placed them. Aud even

para,icn already commenced indicates that if the
leaders and fortunate ones have made all they

"Young Democrats willing even to scrape the

While therefore there remains continually &C
cruing public debt anxionsly concealed from the
people, while there remains the same negligence

past (last year especially mistake the duties OF
their Offices so far as to spend the winter chiefly
in Congressional and Rhode Island affairs, de-

Ioafers, to say nothing fsationary. while in short
Reform is to be effected, or an abuse corrected,
there remains also abundant incentive for wings
to busy themselves in effecting tine one and cor
Fecting the other. But, setting our State affairs
entirely aside, the general interests of the coun-
try demand the most strenuous exertion TO carry
the State. The dominant party elaied by their
unexpected victory, and the ease with which they
have accomplished their darling project Annexa-
ton, are now carreering to the speedy destuct-
ion Of every measure which We, as wings, have
considered beneficial and the establishment of ev-

which has more than once raised our country
from The lowest depression, is again to be overhr-
own, and this iime remember mol by the moderate
Councils Of the old and experienced Southern
States, whose position Indeed leads them to differ
from their Northern brethren in opinion but whose
