nxpuar1oAH PROSPECTS,.

The signs Of the times werc never
o favorable for the success Of the
Republican party than now. More
than a year Of Grants Administration
has expired, and Its policy has been.
fully unfolded to the country. Its hon.
esty, its economy, its steady diminu-
ton Of the debt commend 1t to the
favor Of all the people. The firmness
with which the reins Of Government
have been held, indicates a vigor un-
surpassed by any previous Administra-
ton. The Presidents plainly indicated
purpose to faithfully obey and execute
the laws Is sure to save the country
any renewal of the unhappy scenes
which t~rafspired under the rule Of the
arrogant and lawless Andrew johnson.
Prophecies of q breach between Presi-
dent Grant and Congress, made by
with whom the wish was
father to the thought, have signally
failed. The cordial relations which
existed at the beginning between the
executive and Legislative branches Of
our Republican Administration, have
grown constantly stronger, and now
our opponents have no hope of profit
ing by anything like a rupture in the
dominant party. Republican members
of Congress who soon 60 before the
people for q reelection have nov no
issue to join with the President, as
they had with johnson when the pes
tilent policy Of the latter was on trial
at the polls. Whatever influence Is
used by the Administration in the
coming election will be brought to
bear in favor Of the Republican candi-
dates ; and this must give them a great
advantage. The Republican party has
also gained intellectually by the Fiji
teenth Amendment, which has added
vastly to L. its strength. 1t has
given the party so many accessions
rs to make hitherto Democratic States,
like Indiana, Connecticut and Califor-
MIA, reliably Republican. Sherman's
amendment to the Senate bill to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment has
passed Congress, and 1t will take the
State of New York out Of the hands
Of the corrupt Democracy, since it at
taches the severest penalties to the
crime Of repeating" and makes the
criminal amenable to the United States
Courts. If such a law shall be en-
forced it will cut down the apparent
majority with which the city Of New
York has overridden the country, and
will place the Empire State once more
where she rightfully belongs-in the
Republican line. Congress will adj
journ on tho 18th of July, in ample
time to participate in the coming CAM
paign, put not too soon, we trust, to
to pass important measures Of useful
legislation demanded by the country,
which will promote the popularity Of
the party. The standing Of Republi-
can members of Congress with their
constituents will depend much on
what they shall do within the few re-
manning weeks of the present session.
The eyes Of the people are on them,
and they will make up their minds Us
to how they shall vote at the coming
election more from what their Repre-
sentatives do before the 18th of July
than from the stump speeches they
shall make after that time. The i'm
mediate future Of u party Is most
suspicious. With the prestige Of an
unbroken series Of victories, with the
reinforcements furnished by the FIJI
teenth Amendment, with the popular
ity procured by unexceptionable Ex-
ecutive and Congressional records, the
success Of the party has "%assuranee
doubly sure"
