Wednesday Morning, AUG. IL, 1869.

Oauous-Ridd

Tho United States has been caucus
ridden to suoh an extent since the war,
that it is great relief to everybody
that Congress is not in session, unsoru-
palous party leaders, who delight in
strife, would before now have "set fire
to the Northern heart" over the con.
servative victory in Virginia, and
postponed still longer tho day Of peace
that now promises to dawn upon tho
South. In this long Congressional re-
cess, however, public opinion has had
fair opportunity to form itself calm.
ly; even tho partisan press, having lost
the Congressional caucus cue, has OK
pressed independent opinions, and con-
servative Influences will have gathered
such hoaa by December, that radical
oauouses will assemble to hatch hatred
for once, in vain. Our Government
will have been restored upon "the
will Of the majority should be the law
Of the land" principle, and our coun.
try willru career of material devel-
opment, grandeur and glory, hitherto
unequalled.
We sometime ago wrote, that wo
had no faith in this new democratic
principle of tho wisdom of the MAORI
ty, and no hope of the future based
upon it. We now wish to modify that
opinion: we have hope, in the spread
Of Intelligence, in free press, and in
the magnitude and extent of the ma
tion. The danger is in being caucus
ridden and over-governod. But Sec
ing that the nation has evidently shak-
en- off the caucus incubus during tho
last three months, 80 that Congress
will hold its caucuses on reoonstruc-
tion, next winter, in vain, why may
not the same thing rocur1 The coun.
try is large, tho press is free, and
public opinion has unusual facilities
for making itself known and respected.
In a free press there is still great
deal to build faith and hope upon.
Lot tho dead past, then, bury it's dead
and lot overy true lover Of his country
address himself to tho task of broak-
ing mp oliques and oaucusos, and
giving tho simple majority govern
monts, both State and Federal, that
tho war has left US, Tho direction Of
Intelligence and virtuo.
