Inications are not wanting that we
are approaching a crisis in the North
fearful crisis OF want and suffering in
the large cities dependant upon CON-
merce and manufacturers for the support
OF their populations. The working men
of Philadelphia have had several meet.

but our Common Council and our lead
ing citizens are already moving in the
matter. That great distress exists
amongst US, is too palpable to be de-
MED for moment. Not day passes
that we are not appealed to by able
bodied men, willing and anxious to
work, actually begging for food. Right
here. on the little, narrow, barren island
of New York, is an army of nearly a
million persons to be fed every day.
What well.organized commissariat it
must be that does this faithfully. Yet,
it has been done for years, with scarcely
difficulty, by the operation of natural
agencies. but on the 9th day Of Novem-
Der last, the Northern people in defiance
Of the Constitution which they had SOL
EMMY pledged themselves to observe,
banded together and elected President
for the whole country, whose principles
were known to be so distasteful to a
portion Of it, that he could not get a
single vote therein. That act Jared the
social and industrial machinery Of the
whole country. From that very day to
this our prosperity has steadily declined,
and affairs are still growing worse and
worse.-N Y. Day Book.

that the credit Of Iowa in the Eastern

A PREDIorIOx.-The National Intelligeu

A PREDIoTIoX.-The National Intelligen-
Ger says:
We take the liberty of venturing pre-
diction, which we base on long observation
of political events occurring in the success
sive changes that take place in the admin
istration of the Federal Government. And
the prediction we make is, that if the Or
binary current of our political history is
not disturbed by some extraneous influences,
rendering the presidential term of Mr.. Lin
coin entirely exceptional in its complex
ion and results, it is pretty sure, in about
the same degree, to disappoint the exagger-
ated expectations of too ardent friends and
the exaggerated apprehensions of its too
suspicious opponents. For no Administra-
ton, so far as we are aware, has ever yet
accomplished all the good expected at its
hands by the former, or ell the evil fore
shadowed by the latter, under apprehensions
often inspired by other considerations than
simple disinterested patriotism.
