A Word of the Future,

For the purpose OF bringing TO pass the condition Of
things which they affect TO anticipate whg journals amuse
themselves in contemplating the Imaginary dssensons
Of the democratic party and in predicting the difficulties
which the approaching administration is doomed to en-
counter Ii hardly be supposed that democratic
administration will the favor and support Of The
whig party, that the whg press will omit any oppoI
unity TO ihwar lis policy and dscredt its character
Indeed, the comments of the Washington Republic ant
other wing journals upon what they choose to term the
distractions and discussions OF the democracy indicate
very clearly the line of wing policy respect 10 the
administration The defeat OF 1852 the humiliation
OF the whig party and hereafter will exist. borrow
the expression OF OF lis lustrous cheitans, only
a tradition Of history The wings are not disposed to
dispute the fact OF their irretrievabe overthrow They
accept with phosophc resignation, and are preparing
10 turn their misfortune TO the best account They do
expect and perhaps they do not desire the resurec-
ton OF their party with its original organizations and
whilst adherng tenaciousy lis essential and most OBJ
noxous principles, they may think TO restore its power
by incorporating with its ancient creed prevailing
humbug OF the hour. In this way, by combining with
the debris OF the old wing party variety OF floating
factions and by seducng from the democratic party some
disseminated and berecal spirits they expect 10 recruit
their ranks with force sufficient 10 enable them to take
the field and contest the fight OF 1856. To defeat this
scheme Of the existence ofwhch have no doubt is
only necessary that democrats should adhere with incor
rup, fidelity 10 the cherished principles OF their party that
thew should maintain it's imehonored organization and
render 10 their chosen leader cordial and intelligent sup
port and cooperation The democratic party has not run

il is az ain about to the control Of the government
and to direct its policy This is not the hour when dem
ocras should forget their principles, or relax the energy
OF their opposition to the political party against whom
is the condition of their nature 10 combat Perhaps al
no previous period harmony and concert OF action
among democrats more essential TO the welfare OF the
country and the good OF the country. Success must moi
be the signal of strife when without an honest co-opera
ton for the future the obiec, OF victory cannot b.
achieved II the approaching administration Is TO accom-
psh anything il must have the cordial and united sup
port OF lts party This suggestion will indicate the bash
upon which democrats of every shade of opinion may
coalesce and cooperate. The democratic party bav'
called TO the head OF the government, man in whose
fidelity and capacity they repose implicit conf
dence. He trumrhed upon platform Of principle rec
osnsed and established the creed OF the party. BY
this. as well as by the consistency OF bis own public
conduct he pledged to promote those great measures
OF government, whch constitute the distinctive policy OF
the democratic party Instead therefore, OF brood'ng IN
suen obstinacy over any peculiar and unmporap nan
eies OF his own let every democrat the rather aoofess
himself to the task of aiding the administration IN s
eanes, endearor TO advance the interest and glory OF he
country and in h. way he will do most to confirm and
perpeuae the ascendency Of his party and defeat the
hiring schemes OF wing ambition
