The Prospect.


And now that the Immediate excite
ment of the result of the election has
passed. the country is beginning f.
consider whether this is true. and Il
ponder the chances of relief from the
Democratic party. 1t has gained pow
cr under the most sweeping promises
The times are hard. and the party ora
tors and papers point to the party a'
the only l.opc of the unemployed la
borcr. Every poor mans poi l. now
to boil over with plenty. Industry OF
every kind is to revive. The musical
clink of abounding gold and silver l.
To he heard i'll the land. Peace and
prosperity and regard fnI equal right,
are to descend upon the troubled South.
Justice. economy. progress, prosperity
and bcneticcnt reform are all at hand
But in the midst of this prdn il is re-
markahlc that the real feeling is one al
grave apprehension. This is not thc
tone of Republicans only, from whom
it might he expected us parIi>ams. bat
il il that of the Democrats themselves
and of their friends. and it is very sig
niticant. If Il young man comes sud
denly into Il great fortune. and his
friends instantly fall to impl"rim" him
for Heavens sake not to hrtitkr him
self (" drunkenness. gambling. ANA
every kind of dchauchcrN. and if lac
himself pitcou>ly praNS some chlrita-
bile fate to save him from com>ortiu@
with swine and living AN unclc.rm life.
there is but one explanation. and il i
that he and his friends understand his
pr"clvitie>. Certainly no sane man
would make him the guardian "f his
children or the trustee of his estate.
