Here is a field for a philosophi
statesman 20 exercise his protoundes
thoughts. What was, within th
memory Of the older people Of tn
present generation, almost q "howl
ing wilderness,"is rapidly becomin,
swarming multitude, a populou
host, made up Of aA nations ant
tongues, covering the prairies, t
convert them toto teeming farms
planting toxns and cities to centrsl,x,

commonwealths together with rail
roads that keep the common life i,
constant motion. The star Of en-
pire 10 indeed making its way west
ward, a. q much more rapid rate thar
could ever have been dreamed Of
even in the philosophy Of tho good
Bishop.
This is being what the late Mr..
Greeley was wont to call an "off
year in politics" There may be said
to be q dead calm in the great politi-
cal sea. With the Republican party
all is naturally serene after their great
victory OF last year. The Democrats
have been trying to make a little
capital ont OF the faction squabbles
in Louisiana, but without success.
The central organ--7M WorM-ol
this city, has also been working,
might and main, to reconstruct the
party on q free trade basis, bringing
all who are FREQ traders in and kicking
all who are not treetraders out, but
It's frantic shrieks have not raised
even IN echo. Indeed, tho leading
Democratic papers all over the coun-
try throw cold water on the WorlTs
ardent proposition. The Cincinnati
Enqurirer, tho leading Democratic
journal OF the west, thus responds to
the Ford with pathetic candor "We g

not think it would be exactly expe-
dent to read out Of our party the
whole organization in Pennsylvania.
We are more desirous to read people
into the party, just at present, than
TO order any one to leave"
To DO sweet upon the western
Grangcrs is also the Democratic cue
jus. now. Having no confidence in
their own strength, they are ready
hitch their Car to any train that has
promising power of propulsion.
They are naturally kind to all new
organizations, and sympathise as
warmly with corn as most of them
DO with corn whisky, and there is no
promise which they would not make,
the making Of which would restore
them once more to party ascendancy.
The Grangers have nothing to ex.
pcct from Democracy which cares no
more about the Grsngers than it
cares for the free slaves of the South,
whose votes it now socks, even while
it is in alliance with the men who
once owned them. There is nothing
democratic about the Democratic
party but the antique name it bears,
AMI which 1t wears as gracefully and
with about as much of fitness as the
ass wore the lions skin. Let the
grangers beware OF favoring any alli.
ance with q party whose victories
would be victories for the benefit
of tho very classes and men to whom
the Grangsrs are most opposed.
