ET The permanent ascendency of the party of Freedom in this State will depend very much upon the course pur- sued by the Legislature this spring. If the majority carry out the measures for which they were elected. and in the en- actment of laws and in the appointments to office show pfoper respect to the sources of our great victory. all will be well; buff the Wings, confident of their strength, fail to acknowledge the prin> ciipzes which have brought them into power, their asccndency will be of short duration.
