We almost envy the Democrat its Sc
rene satisfaction in reviewing the contest
in Pierce County. Speaking of tri-
umph of Democracy it says
"But God, who sees farther than we
do, has reserved this for some future time, !"
Again the Democrat says
We are satisfed-we have done well !;
our Father can look down upon us, and
say to us, in words which will be sndel5bly
impressed upon the tablet of our memo
ries, my children, you have done well.

The future success of the Republican

The PrOclama ton.

The President begins to show signs OF
penitence for some of his past political
acts and doctrines. The hero of the Os-
tend manifesto-the coveter of Cuba
apologist for fllibustering, is out in a
proclamation against it. We are clad
We rejoice at the righteous act.
But Mr.. Buchanan is discreet. He
calls no one by harsh names. In con-
struction of language, Mr.. Buchanan al
most rivals Mr.. Byron Kilbourn. The
pirate-Walker, is spoken of as ''the per-
son who has renowned his allegiance to
the United States, and claims to be Pres
ldent OF Nicaragua" We are reioiced
that Mr.. Buchanan mildly hints his virtu-
Gus disapproval Of that persons some
what eccentric ways. Our hope is, that
the views Of the proclamation will be en-
forced.
The Administration is DESTROYS of Sc
curing Cuba; the revival of the Save trade
is boldly advocated and demanded, and
some people may be uncharitable enough
to think that this gun. signalling the fill
busters to "heavc to- IS ruse to en-
gage public attention while other nefari-
GUS schemes are being carried on.
