Democratic Prospects The New York Times
reviewing the present position Of parties in.
clincs to the opinion that the victory inclines
towards the Democratic side. We quote its
language:
'The settlement of the Lecompton question
by the rejection Of the English bill, although
what the republicans desired, fought for and
predicted. manifestly takes away an important
portion of their capital, Kansas has been the
bond of union between the Democratic and the
wing sections of the republican party and its
loss cannot but be felt. Indeed we notice that
in advance of the Kansas election, the leading
republican paper in this State promulgated the
platform mo more slave states under any cir.
cumstances, as the single and vital creed of
that party for the future.
1t is plain to see that the democrats are
looking upon the present position oftheir opro-
nents with qualification. And the feeling on
their part is apparently well grounded. There
