U. s. SENATE, WASHINGTON, d. c.,
Wednesday, Feb. 4, 1868.
If 1868 is not more pregnant with big
events than any preceding year, then |
have cast my horoscope wrong. Every
fundamental change in the history Of this
county has required seven years for partu-
ritl0n. For instance-it is unnecessary to

wa between the French and English, the
war Of the Revolution, the disturbance
With the mother country arising. out of the
Right Of Search, and kindre5s questions,

Savans who believe in the historical riot"
and some who do not, are quite sure the
great Shareholders Rebellion will be

magiccycle Of seven, peculiar to affairs on
this eacontinent, and the grandest in
American history. During this year. also,
the life or death Of the nation is still in

men who breasted treason's iron hail, and
vain All this and more is involved in
the Presidential question to be finally
decided in November next As is well
known, a large majority of the Democratic
party in the Northern States are in close
fellowship with those who for four

none other than sympathizer with this
class can receive q nomination for the Pres- |
dency from the Democratic party. The |
success Of such q party, it is honestly be-
1iI.f rpin. Prominent Southern men, 7enibold- |
ened by President Johnson and political
successes last fall, have openly avowed in
the streets Of Washington their determina-
ton to accomplish at the ballot box, and
through the agency Of the Democratic or
ranization, what they failed to do through
| the agency Of bayonets and bullets. Proml-
nent Democrats have no objections to
make to such a result. Success of
| this kind would add to the present ma
tional debt the value Of the slaves liberated
/ by Thu Emancipation Proclamation, and
probablv tie Confederate debt, and pensions
for disabled traitors and relatives Of traitors.
THE chief object Sought by the Democratic

Of debt.
| need not tell your readers what would
become Of the loyal men in the Southern
States if the Democratic party triumphs
next fall. The Congressional majority fully
recognize the situation, and have determined
that the work OF reconstruction shall be com
pleted the present year, and that every legiri-
mate effort Shall be made TO prevent rebel
triumph in November next. They feel to-
day that they committed a blunder, if not u
