Flush Times Ahead.

! From unmistakcable. indications about us
in the commercial centre Of the Union, there
| can be no reasonable doubt that we are close
upon a repetition of the flush times that i'm
nediately preceded the crash If 1851. That
we went through that crisis 50 well, all things
| considered, and have recovered from its effects
40 soon, is a striking proof Of the recuperatlve
energies and elastic yigor of our country, and
the enterprise and pluck Of our traders. They
are ruined one day, but jump up aud try 1t
over again the next with all the sang. t'O'd in
| the world. Here we are now i'll til second
quarter of 1859, doing driving business in
| all branches of trade. The imports will be
close ON to those OF lS51-perhaps exceed
| them. BY the end of the fiscal year, on the
Goth June next, the Secretary Of the TreaSu-
nv will find Il very handsome return from the
Custom House to satisfy tho governments
little bills. When the government gets
fairly Oh it, feet the banks will expand still
| further. trade will receive such AN impe-
tus us it has rarely Known before, an army
of schemers and spectators will appear IN
! Wall street. with magical rapidly, aud all
sorts Of means will be adopted 10 divert the
money which is made i'll the regular busl-
ness channels into the pockets OF stock gam
blers, who are really responsible for mo-
ney panics. There is a certain fascination
, about stock gambling which many people
! cannot resist, and this is taken advantage OF
by the Wall street men when times are good.
| After the severe lesson Of 1851, however. peo-
ple ought To know better and be more careful
in their operations. Sudden expansions on
! credit basis, if il can be 80 called. must lncvi-
tablv be followed at some time ~ other, by
sudden crashes. If people will only keep
this fact in mind, perhaps they may be even
able to bear the prosperity, which has come
| upon them.-N. y. Herdld.
