otIuant history Of the last dozen years, it prob
ably would not hare been 40 successful now, but
10f the peculiar nature of the opposition.
| tnese can be no question that the disafec-
taon u the dominant party was widespread
and deep-seated. There can be no doubt that
nnnoreos OF thousands of. votes we're yesterday
| would have been thrown against him had there
neen candidate nominated at Cincinnati who
eeo9mmandea public respect and confidence tor
Mlas 4anlse1 ahd those whom he called around him.
party more than the incompetent men who had
| assumed 1ta leadership had given, was shown by
sno declaration made at Philadelphia They
we're compelled, in obedience to the popular i'm
and to these promises they viii be held. The
mass OF the people are sincerely aud deeply in
terested in the reform Of the Civil Service,
end % believing that the President is per-
1ectly candid in his avowed determination
to accomplish it, they will not be satisfied with
mkewarm cooperation, nor be patient with q
covert hostility to it on the part OF Congress-.
1hey wish to see the currency OF the country
once more upon specie basis, and are far more
have metal dollar behind it than they are for
the speedy extinguishment of the National debt.
They are impatient Of the taxation Of the many
1or the benefit Of the few. they are weary Of the
the INDUSTRY the trade and
tallh, and they demand that every man shall be
left to buy where he can buy cheap
est, and sell where he can sell dear
est, without any other interference with
e1igencies Of government shall make absolutely
Indispensable. They are inclined to believe
that the Rebellion is about over, and that Con-
gress having done all that it is called upon to do
aud all that it can do to restore the Southern
States to self-sovernment, that hereafter it
shall let them alone. II cases shall arise where
there seems good reason to doubt that the peo-
pie OF any State are not able to establish domes-
tic tranquility and order, or to insure the exis-
tence OF . republican form Of government, the
Judgment Of all thinking people Of the North is,
that it shall be first plainly evident that they Of
the South have had fair chance to manage their
own affairs and have failed, before there shall be
any interference on the part Of thegoyernnent at
Washington. They demand that Congress shall
conine itself to legitimate legislation for the
good Of tho whole country; that "jobbery" aud
"log-Eo1ling' shall cease; that there shall be
no more subsidies in money OF in public lands
for the benefit Of individuals or OF corporations
but that commerce by land and by sea shall be
left to take care OF itself. The majority Of the
North are still Republicans, but Repnblicans
with proviso: They have trusted their leaders
trust them still when the alternative offered Was
that they should put their faith in those in whom
they could have no faith, and for whom they hare
no respect. But grave mistake will be- COM
mitted and attended with fatal consequences to
the integrity Of the party II the result OF this
election ia accepted as sign Of absolute conf /
dence in party management. It has no such |
meaning These leaders we're never put so en-
tirely on their probation. The party is on itt |
good behavior, and it depends on the conduct OF |
its representative acts whether it shall remain |
in power beyond the next term OF General !
Grants Administration, or whether it !
shall go hopelesaly to pieces. That
minority ybo OF earnest an,bs and thinking
purity in politics and return to sound prin-
ciples, is all the stronger for being purged Of
that element OF schemlng politicians who had
crept in among them and who have now gone to
for new accesaions to it's ranks, and behind it lie
The fragments Of great party, whose leaders
have led it to utter shipwreck. New organiza-
lions, in tho nature Of things, arc inevitable,
and the Republican party Will only retain its
hold upon power and command anew the conf |
aence Of the people, by showing that it is wise,
Ind pure, and strong enough to deserve it.

The foundations Of the Republic are now as
,ured. The stability OF finance, trade, manu-
Iacturing, and production is now made certain.
The national prosperity will be unabated- Nor
,hants are no longer fearful because Of an appre-
1ended interference with the regular steady, |
md safe progress OF affairs by the hands Of an |
Inexperienced and eccentric doctrinaire.
Financial questions are now the first to press |
'or attention. We need an absolute stability,
amendments to the National Banking act, in de-
ault Of which ne hope every National Bank in
he New York Clearing House will promptly quit | ,
he National system, and reorganize under the
founder laws Of this State. We need smaller :
balances IN the Treasury, go that it may not be
20 constant and powerful factor in our money
market; and, as the only meanB to this end, We | ,
iced much smaller revenue from customs and I
axes. We need q mercantile marine OF our j
'wn, and consequently, the repeal OF laws which
orbid our citizens to buy ships where they
lease, Here are some Of the financial ques-
ions which, from this morning, are the next in i
rider. :
