to be bought and our people were mostly
living on bread The Athenaeum libra

building and the custom house blazed
up again this morning, and occasloned
another alarm. The city was in dark
ness last night, owing to the gas having
been cut off, 4 rain is falling now but 1t
is scarcely needed, as the flames were so
fierce that all vegetation is burned on
the ground. The First and Second Ma

saved. J The brass work establishment Of
L. Crockett was not burned, as report

would expect it to gain victory. The Re-
publican party being thus situated, nobody
expects it to be victorious this Fall
But, as editors, and having some fellow
feeling for the Doctor, we will not further
jest upon what appears to be a solemn mat
ter to the editor of the RepuJlican. How
ever much he may whistle to keep up his
courage, it is well known from the very tone
of his paper that he sees enemies and de-
serters on every hand, and that hosts of men
and journals are eager to abandon the Radical
party. The Doctor, as we'll as others are
nearly frightened out of their wits at the
danger they see, but which we foresaw long
ago.
That the Republican party are doing no
good for the country, but, by obstinate blum
dering and sectional legislation, are dragging
us further into the mire, can be proved by
the following extract from one of their lead
ing journals, the New York Eyenmg Post.
1t says:
The Republican party had the good for
tune to carry great war to triumphant
issue. 1t gained thereby to itself name,
and a moral influence with the American
people, which, with moderately wise man.
agement, should secure it power for half a
century. When the war closed its duty to
itself as well as to the country was to heal
as quickly as possible the wounds caused by
the struggle, to bring the country speedily
and successfully back to constitutional rule:
and to see that Justice was made secure, that
the laws were rigidly enforced, that treason
was made odious, that loyalty was encour-
aged IN the disaffected region. 1t was its
duty also, as the party in power, to enforce
the st11ctest economy In public expenditure;
to regulate the finances at once on a perma-
nent and sound system; and to adjust the
heavy burden of taxation in such manner
that the people could engage freely in those
avocatlons IN which habit, training, situation
and circumstances enable them to gain most
easily the greatest returns from their labor,
and to compete most advantageously with
other nations
This was the task before the leaders of the
party when Congress met last December.
More than seven months have passed, and
what has been accomplished? 1t is an un-
denlable truth, that Congress has not been
economical; it has not simplifed the tax sys-
tenn; it has not brought us nearer to specie
payments it has tried to pass tariff which
would compel great part of the nation from
profitable to contessedly Improbable employ
ments, cripple our commerce, and lessen our
revenue. 1t has neither encouraged loyalty
nor punished treason. 1t has tamely seen a
cabinet minister defy and violate one of its
important laws, and instead of insisting as
Is It's right, on the enforcement of the laws
already on the statute book, it has busted
itself with impossible or vicious schemes of
amendments.
