The Union adds 4:

The Union adds:
"How prodigious the reaction since 1854 We
did not then carry single State: but in 1855 thus
far, we have carried ten States, with one hundred
and nineteen electoral votes to opponents four
States, with forty.four electoral votes.
1t is now apparent to every intelligent man that
the democrats will elect the President in 1856. As
the only national party in the field, they will sweep
the entire country. The opposition, sectional in its
nature, divided and broken, disprited by defeat,
make no headway against our triumphant columns.
Whoever the National Democratic Convention de-
signates will be the next President of the United
States. The political sky is bright for us as
it was for the opposition year ago. Most truly
we say, "Now is the winter of our discomfort made
glorious summer" 80 -5.s

in price, but there is almost description of goods
which is not dearer We have not known for years
period at which the advance in prices has been
universal as at present: Imports, raw material and
domestic fabrics are all dear. Many different causes
may be alleged as the origin of this dearness; one
being the increase of the circulating medium both
of gold and paper money"
