THE TRIPARTITE ISSUE.
OMENS OF THE RESULT.

soual influence of politicians have become OF ocso..
lively small account. We have had significant iade.
tons of deep feeling pervading the whole communs
which. ike the winds of Kolus in the hollow mou,t.,
can scarcely be repressed; and, when once it sAJ
burst forth will sweep the country with ress,
force.
II is idle to talk of such feeling beng wrought m
BY the agency OF politicians. The vast assemblsx
of the people which we hear of, and the tumuhuos,
srproha,jon of public addresses, demonstrate the ~.
er4st nee of the feeling, not that is created BY The
eoQuence of popular speakers. In fact, look upOO
as one of the remarkable features of the great now.

cradle moment. do not say this at all IN derogaios
of the respectsbility of those gentlemen, but only
illustration of the deep and rcsstless current OF popular
feeling Scarcely ripple is now made on the surtsc,
by things that at other times, when there was In
depth and power, might increase or obstruS tie
course of the stream.
No one who has observed the indications OF pub
in that class of our people who ordinarily share uei
political agitation, will doubt the truth OF this stss
ment. Almost invariably at the Norh-if you os-
verse with man who has not made political afauni
business. as is the case with in country vIsss
or who has not pecuniary interest, as some OF H.
merchants in the city-you will hear an expression
indignant feeling at the violation of public honor BY
Southern politicians in 1854 and the shameless coodud
of the Administration in carrying out the designs Of the
projectors of the law passed in that year
