TIE NEXT CONGREss.

The future Of the Republican party Is In
The hands Of the next Congress. As the Re-
publican majority In Ii Is wise and honest
and patriotic, 80 will the party be strong and
useful in the years that arc 10 come. The
country expects good deal at Its hands, and
Ii will not be safe TO dlsappolnt IL. We arc
living In period OF political transition,
when the ties Of party are relaxed, when
men have learned TO think and act for them
selves, independent of the commands of the
caucus and the dictation Of the convention.
There Is spirit OF unrest abroad, q growing
disposition among the people to net with and
support that party only which shall show the
keencst concern In the welfare Of the coun-
try and the interests Of the people. When
we vusc the phrase 'intercst Of the
people" we do not mean that II
should be accepted In the usual
stereoiyped sense. We intend exactly what
the words imply. The time has forever
passed away in the Unitcd States when pro-
iessions and high-sounding phrases can blind
the public Judgment. The glamour that
twenty-five or thirty years ago dlmmed the
public Judgment has gone by, and neither
Statesmen" nor politicians, nor newspapers,
have the power any longer to deceive the
people The journal that, in the interest Of
mere party, attempts II is certain TO fail.

The following year he was elected on the Whig

body he was the youngest member. AT the next
election he was defeated, his district sustaining
by its vote Douglas famous Nebraska bill. In

the Missouri compromise marked him as men,
Der whose opinions were entitled TO respect. In
1850 he was elected Republican Governor OF I'LL
nOis, after q spirited canvass. Among the many
loyal Governors Richard Yates was conspicuous
for ability and patriotism. lie took most ener-
getic action In defence OF his State, and during
1861 Illinois placed at the service Of the General
Government fifteen thousand more men than
had been asked for, and when, In 1862, the Presi-
dent called for three hundred thousand youn-
teers, Governor Yates proclamation rang like a
clarion throughout the state, and in less than
eleven days was answered by more than nifty
thousand men. At tho expiration OF his term OF
