party The condition Of the country, 10 the alb
sence of railroads telegraphs, and with IL
mitted press, greatly favored this design, by
giving extraordinary control to the bank in
every department. Of trade and by enlisting its
active interference together with ali its de-
pendants, in the election contests Of the day.
This power. united to that Of the manufacturers
who were the objects Of special favor and pro-
lection, it was supposed was amply sufficient
to insure political control at Washington.
II was a strong will and apowerful combna-
tion that such a net work Of interest could not
subdue. But precisely such a will and such
combination WINS found in the opposing party
which allied itself to the great family of agr-
culture-a branch OF labor sought at once to be
taxed and controlled by the others named
though in truth it sustained both. Early
in the history Of the new organization
| the struggle came on. The brilliant and
powerful Clay and his friends were over
thrown. His individual strength. unde-
| niably great, could not sustain the cause of
his associates No human power could do it.
II was based upon essential Inequality. 1t
taxed one class Of industry TO protect another
1t placed great interests in dependence upon
the government. and thus paralyzed the arm Of
Individual enterprise. 1t tettered and crippled
commerce, and thus limited and cut off the
markets Of agriculture and taxed its produc-
tons 1t rendered inevitable commercial vi
cissitudes. by connecting the great monetary
power of the States with national politics. 1t
violated all rules Of political economy, by seek
ing to control the distribution Of labor. 1t was
party Of policy. Of calculation and Of personal
interests and not Of principles. It was not
sustained, and never win be, on the basis Of its
ancient creed.
But our object is not to trace out the record
1t is to draw lesson from the past to lay be-
fore the wings Of the Union at this critical
juncture It is never too late to correct an
error. The wing party has long enough kicked
against the pricks.-it has long enough strug-
gled to maintain the crushing weight of false
principles and unequal laws. Its masses are
honest. There is no chance of a restoration
of the Bourbons Of their line The cohesive
power that has bound the two parties together
respectively is gone The late Presidential
election has testified that spirit higher than
the old organizations exists in the country
devotion to the Union, to the constitution and
the protection Of all the interests alike, to that
compact. This spirit was reused into fearful
energy in that election; and it exists now in the
public mind of the country in all its freshness,
its justice. and its might tits the spontaneous
outburst of public sentimeDt-an expression of
patrioti,m and disinterested love of coun-
try which rejects in diEdain all section
alsm. recognizing no law higher than the
constitution, no destiny higher than it
assures. Let the wings remember that
there is tide in the affairs Of men which
when taken at its ebb leads on to fortune.
They have the material Of success. The power
is once more in their own hands if they will use
it, Their opponents are no longer bound to
their party. The national democracy-th
constitutional party-that which elected Gen
Pierce-in fact, embracing twothirds of the
voters Of the Union-is rising up in judgment
against both the old orders. It is the people
defending their government against the assaults
of the Van Burens, Stewards, Garrisons, and
Greeleys Of the day. It is patriotism speaking
in its own defence, and perpetuating the Union
on the basis Of equality. It is the spirit of
America rebuking and silencing the cast of
harlots of its household. and drawing closer to
it's embrace the virtuous and the good of all
faiths and creeds.
The KosZrA CAaE-MR HULsEMANN's Pro
TEsr.-Accordipg to promise, we lay before our
readers this morning the protest Of Chevalier
Hulsemann, the truly American reply 10 which
by Secretary Marcy, we published yesterday
There is q special point Of interest in this Aus
trian letter which we reproduce here-for the
sake of passing suggestion or SOTO witt
The Imperial government entertains too high
opinion Of the sense OF justice and ofthe integrity
of the government Of the United States to doubt for
single instant its anxiety TO dsavov the conduct
Of it. agents, under the circumstances above men
tened and that IL will hasten 70 call them to SO
we're account, and tenie to Austria satisfaction
proportionate to the magnitude Of the outrage.
We are apprehensive, in view of this demand.
that the reply Of our government will not be
deemed satisfactory by the Imperial govern
ment Of Austria. We should not. therefore
be surprised if the administration were shortly
to be waited upon by Mr.. Hulsemann with his
parting compliments And perhaps Russia
may follow suit. The question then recurs,
what follows? We know not The country
will uphold our government as with the voice
of one man whatever may be the consequences
Of maintaining the right. We are quite con-
tent, therefore. to wait the drift Of events; and
we rejoice that our authorities at Washington
have at last thought fit to indicate to Europe
in terms not to be misunderstood, that the
United States are among the independent
powers OF the earth. It is good.
