In the brief period intervening between
this and the second of November, it ia no,
possible that the present relation Of parties
can be much affected. Ia all probability
the battle Is already lost and won. The
event is doubtless determined, aud no sub
sequent effort will change it. A survey
the field, there ore, in the present crisis OF
the struggle, will foreshadow the final result
to the satisfaction ofhim at least, whoss cal.
cuations do not embrace extraordinary, II
not impossible, contingencies.

the democratic party upon the unmistakable

should the democracy be induced by an as.
