It is not probable that the policy Of the
Democrats IN Congress, now flushed with
victory, Will be fully declared until after
the meeting Of the State Legislatures,
Their uncertainty in regard to the exact
nature Of the triumph they have achieved,
coupled with doubts touching the real
meaning Of the verdict that the people
have rendered, will restrain them until they
are quite sure Of the ground upon which
they stand. The Spring elections upon
which depend their majority in the next
Congress, also stand in the way; and
though there will be in opposition men
enough who are always ready to show the
animus Of treason, either by direct encour,
agement to the rebels, or By efforts to en-.
barrass the government, they will unques
tionahly be restrained by superior authority
until it is safe to speak. We look for {
short and quiet session.

PAPER, HT<sNEX-AN EARNEST
WORD To CONGRESS.

We entreat the members of Congress to
resort to almost any expcdicnt, no matter
how costly, for the relief of the Treasury,
rather than authorize another issue Of legal
tender notes. Tie rapid and alarming in-
crease in prices Of all mcrchantable arti-
cles, the furious rage for speculation, and
the heavy debts based upon the expected
increase in the volume OF the circulation,
are warnings that the currency channel is
full-warnings that cannot be sRfcly disra-
Garlcd. Let them remember that the class
upon Which the conduct and 1naiatcnauce
Of the war, and the integrity Of tue wncle
social fabric, dcpeua-the agricultural class
is THAT which Is most oppressed by
thc rise which an excess Of pa
per has induced; because their products
valued at home by the markets Of tie old
world where specie is the standard, Do no.
60 IN will, labor and the ncecss2ries ,hat
the farmers a1e compelled TO buy and that
every new lollar VI paper put afokt will
add 70 the heavy burdens that they already
bear. BY and by, they, unable to carry
more, will resist. LctC,>Dgfess remember,
too, tlat the immense debt That SC are now
piling up in the effort to put doSn rebel
lion must be paid in gold C. its equivalent,
and by taxation. Eence, to pursue tnat
policy tho sure effect CT which is to make
war, always i costly luxury, doub1y expcn-
sire, is surely fatal TO the national credit
and prejudicial to the national honor.
Lastly, let them keep in mind, that, despite
all :hat men who can and do look beyond
the fictitious prosperity Of the present, caa
say to prepare the millions for the crash
that is incyitab1e, the end Of currency
expansion like that winch the war has
made necessity, is almost certainly bank.
1uptcy anu ruin, from which few who dc
business will be able to escape. If, finally
Congress would carry on the war chcaply
If it would add to tue strength Of that clas:
whose prosperity is the prosperity Of tn.
nation; i it would keep the national honol
and national credit unimpaired; if i
would ward of HE danger Of which nov
distan1ly threatens all property and ever,
form Of industry, let il see to ii, if there b.
any way under the sun by which an in
crease Of paper money can be avoided, tha
it be pursued.
