How are the mighty alenl Just three months ago the
great republican party, after most desperate and pro
acted struggle routed the dsjointed ranks of the dvi
ded democracy and secured the dearly coveted prize Of
the succession TO the federal administration The con
querors then stood In deep and solid coumns-nushed
with misunderstanding with irumph-erultins at the
prospect OF tho spos and dcridng their vanqushed OPP
ponents How different the present aspect Of the
torious host Noisy emulation has died away. Assn.
rance has given room 10 doubts and apprehen.
sions loud defiance has resigned is place gentle
sounds Of Cancellation Unconditional surrender o. the
federal power is no longer insisted on. Unwavering
frmness no more be boastcd or Encouragement
and detection Visible in every drcction-in short the
nearer the fruits Of victory approached the smaller
the chances Of their undsturbed enjoyment seem 20
grow.
It no, only in Congress tina, dssonancee audible
in the republican ranks reference 10 the compromise
question. Il Ia not only In their party organs that h@
grant discrepancies Of opinion becoming manifest
my almost every State that rolled up majority for
Lincoln and Hsmln division Of the party In power
pro and anti compromises conservatives and radicals
appears to be imminent. New England seems 10 hold
out best. But the Northwes,-the firm, faithful North
west 10 which the leaders a the party pointed with 90
much pride and confidence upon the Inauguration
OF the secession moyemeni--bds fair 20 come
altogether short Of expectation. In Ohio the
agitation az the proposition 70 send Comm ssloners
TO the Washington Convention In the Legislature resulted
10 virtual split OF the republican majority. Even here
under the very eycs az the President elect and
ing influences Of his display OF amost respectful
Of backbone--dIscord, arising from the sources,
threatened time TO drive the conservative rcpab
cans into afration with the democratic members In or
der 70 secure the appointment q COMMISSIONER and a.
though harmony has been restored, Il = than likely
that discussions viii brcek ont with greater violence ~
soon the question, whether 10 compromise not, win
be brought 70 actual head by the necessity Q, de
cision either one way or the other
That profound apprelensons Of wrecl q the repub.
Ican party against the compromise rock prevail In res
dental circles Is certain The President elect, indeed
cannot help being impressed with the existence q dan
gcrous variations o. opinion TO the character o, the
remedies best applied IN the present crisis, BY the
fragrant nconerutes in the counse daily offered 10 him
by both the rank and Gle OF bis supporters In this region
He must be that anything but a uranmiiy ami.
mates those that eDdeayor 10 point out line Of policy 70
him and l. may be well presumed that the prospect u
fatal rupture the very element that was expected 10
support and strengthen MS administration no, apt to
lessen the already existing peTextics Of his position
The J, bHne philosopher arrived at last, al early
hour this morning. His advent In the capacity OF lee
turer having been previously announced, the event dd
produce the nuter among politicians Il would have
caused had he arisen in another da Machine Having
an engagement at Jacksonville for ihs evening his stay
in spr ng1eld was confined 10 few hours lie had
iust time 10 hobble up TO the State House, shake
bands with q few members OF the Legislature,
