THE DAIIY
HOW gsrEx ~.

Tie atoli'ion papers have been busy
in figuring that because. they have been
beaten IN Pennsylvania in October
they will triumph in November. They
publish the figures OF the October cleo
ton in 1919, AS follows:
johnson ABB 1858
LoDgstreth ,Dein.j l6s.1zl
.Johnson's majority s 3a2
They then say that because General
Tay ior beat Cass in November follow
inc. so Fremont will beat Buchanan
now.
Let ~ look into this matter, and see
II we cannot get at the facts. In oc-
tohcr 1873 the Democracy Of fennsyl
vania were united; in the Presidential
election which took place III NoNein-
Der following. they were divided be-
7 " III 'ftff. '=t.NH a. ia
rem, and Mr. Van Buren, received H.
~ vote, at that election Then the
Democratic party wa. divided. Now,
at this Presidential election. We not
only have the State by good round
majority. but the opposition are
/ divided This "catch at strsws'
By the WoolIy press Is a positive de-
ccP''on apon their rank and file, fol
IN all their statements about this mat
ter. they suppress the fact that in ls4s
at the November election. the demo
cratic vote was divided betw cen Gen
Cass and Mr.. An Buren, Eut they
think it good enough Morgan, til
after next Tuesday. Well let then
enIov themselves for the time. for it il
short. On Tuesday next their politi
cal sun sets to rise no more.

Tins Company having failed TO meet
lis engagements arising under their
Charter, to Nicaragua, and since Walk

effects Of the Company, having seem
mgly abandoned all care or desire to

OHB system ~ G0ycrnmcnt.

AucSc IN WisdOin III our system ol
Government which il not disccrnihle
70 any but the closest observer, in
times Of political excitement, when the
passions o. the people are aroused into
Q frenzy, dangerous alike to the Con
stitution .ud the Union. There art
checks and balances which prevent
any immediate action by the people
when thus excited, and not until calm
ness and reason nave returned and re-
sumed their sway, will any Of the cNi.
fruits appear.
The popular branch of Congress !,
liable TO partial change Of members
every year, as the Representative term
10 but two years. The Senate is differ
emily organized, and Senators hole
their seats for six years, rendering ia,
Senate liable to partial change every
two years. II. therefore, the mad pas
s'ons OF the people should enable then
TO get control OF the House Of Rcprc>
entatives, by clecting men pledged t.
execute irreparahle mischief to III,
Union during some sudden excitement.
the torrent Of fury and fanatical dc'u
sion would be stayed at the thrcsh-
hold Of the Senate, and the people
have time to cool their frenzy, and re
call their incendiary and ruinous in
structions.
II both Senate and House should be
borne away by the continuance and
power ofthe popular rage, then the
President is the last remaining citade'
for the defense Of the Constitution,
against those who would hawk at and
tear it, BY interposing his veto power
Thus We see the wisdom and almost
inspired forethought in those who
framed the Constitution, in guarding il
against the sudden rage of the people.
BY checks and guards. This is Ell
sis in which that wisdom has become
more apparent. What would now he
our national condition if the Black
Republicans had had entire control OF
both branches of Congress the pas,
year Our army would be now dis
banded, civil war with its bloody hor-
rom lie raging in the land, and the
Union with all its pride and glory, rent
In twain and covered with the pail OF
death. Our wise system Of govern
ment hes prevented the dre..d catas-
trophe. The Black Republicans have
control only Of the Lower House, and
obtained that control while a whirl-
wind of ati.Nebrasks passion drown
ID the voice Of reason, two years ago.
The excitement has passed, and with !
It will pass oil the dangers which
threatened Us If James Buchanan l.
plaoed in the Executive Chair of the
Republic.
With him - President, the army |
the navy, the Federal officers all over
the land will only be employed in de-
lending the Union, and securing the
happiness and glory Of the people. :

SINGULAR REDuPIIcArIoN.-It is singular
fact in financial history, that the Central Rail-
road operations in this State are simply copy
of the famous railroad speculations in England
set on foot by Hudson, commonly known as King
Hudson, and which finally exploded their author
and all concerned with him. Hudson and his as
sociates bought up and combined all the various
railroads throughout 1gland, for the purpose OF
specializing in and selling to the same lines iron
and other railroad material at their own prices.
The managers Of the Central Railroad at Albany
are performing the same role in New York which
Hudson did in England, and the same results
must follow from their operations eventual ex-
ploson and ruin 70 all connected with them.
