WASHINGTON, March 14.---The intimations
from this point Of contemplated change in
the form Of our government arc by no means
sensational. They are the effect of the unlver-
sal apathy OF the people under the most fla
grant usurpatiOns Of power. When Cwsar
crossed the Rubioon, the people1of Rome had
already n,e besome inbecile. luxurious and cor-
question in which they felt they had the slight

The contest was narrowed down to an issue
purely between two rival military chieftains.
It ,s the deliberate opinion OF thougl tful men
here ol both political parties that we are upon
the, eve of,a fundamental political change.
The people Of the United; States are at this
moment in condition more favorable to the
ambitious views OF daring man than were
the Romans when they differed only in the
choice of q master--ranginR- themselves on,
the side OF Cesar and Pompey respectively.
Doubtless the present. supiHeness and do

to the tremendous conflicts through which the
country has passed The mere idea Of the

mere spite, IL quite sufficient to show that the
new President will prove harmless, except as
the willing tool Of the Radical faction.
