blissful season of perfect national happiness
will make our millions of inhabitants measure

operations of commerce quadrupcd; Peace
will keep waving her golden wings from
weeks end to weeks end the ship of state
will glide over still waters and under cloudless
skies The World newspaper will register
at least one hundred and fifty new subscribers,
all paying In advance. and will print SIX
leading articles, on its tremendous prosperity
tho Ku-Klux Khan will experience religion to
man; the swords and spears, changed into
plowshares and pruning hooks, will be marvel
of metallurgical transmOgriicatiOn and while
Horatio sits smiling in tho White House, and
Francis stands smiling in other places, conf
dence and perfect satisfaction will swell the
American heart well nigh to bursting A great
chorus of happy voices will hail Mr.. Seymour
"a the Father-in-Law of his country. and our
esteem for the excellent Blair will rise almost
TO n blind and fearful veneraton. IT, in view
of these rosy prospects, we still oppose the cleo

of which forcibly reminds US Of the nursery
couplet:
"Open your month and shut yonreJes.
Aud III make you healthy and wealthy. and wise"
To render the matter still more plain and
positive, this same newspaper gives US the name
of Grant coupled with all manner of un-
pleasantness We have Grant and Disunion;'
Grant and Battle of Races" Grant and
WAR; Grant and Revenue 1hievey;'
Grant and Congressional Despotism;n Grant
"and Judicial Subserviency;o Grant and
Perpetual Divsion;n Grant and Section

Grant and Radical Roguery;" "Grant and

short, Giant and Everything Unpleasant.
If it had been our fortune to SEQ these i'll
omened couplings upon the democratic
banners and transparencies We might have
passed the matter over with patient shrug;
