down buildings on market and Chestnut
streets between ninth and tenth streets to
make room for the erection of the Post

finished, To be the finest Postoflice in the
United States.

erected by the city are making slow pro-
gress but will undoubtedly be handsome,
Judging from the work already done at
them.

they had played good Joke on their oppo-
nents. Nor are the Democrats very iubi-
liant as they realize the dilemma into which
they have plunged themselves. They begin
to apprchend already that they viii have Il
much larger load TO carry than they pre-
sumed, and that il is more than likely il
will crush them that they will never be
heard Of after being in power for short
period. The fact is their leaders art not
competent to see them out and the intclii-
gent portion fear the result. There are
none Of the Democratic papers of any note
giving vent to expressions Of JOY, by pub
fishing the usual carlcatures, except those
Of about the third rate IL character have
seen none yet except paper in York and
the N0rh'd C0r0tg DeHocrut.

dant harvcst-that is TO make money. Al
ready we find many calculatin. on raising
prices during its continuance.
