from this hasty sketch Of our political

affairs, the view is no better. 1t is diff

depressed condition Of The people and
the business Of tho country. Every
branch Of industry has been crippled
and many entirely destroyed; wages Of
all kinds reduced. rolling mills. iron
furnaces and factories Of all kinds have
nearly all come to a stand still /; the
working OF coal, iron and other mines
has been generally suspended. The far.
mcr can get but meagre return for his
produce and most OF that little goes to
pay the heavy taxes that hang over the
country like dark cloud. Commerce
is languishing. our steam ships are with.
ont emigrants and with but little freigh.
and few passengers. BY miserable and
we might say almost criminal misman-
agcment of our financial affairs an par
tisan Legislation, values are unsettled,
property has shrunk almost one half. In.
Dor has been depressed. capital made
timid and boarded because nothing is
certain in the financial world for day.
The currency has been contracted by
unwisely attempting to force resumption
OF specie payments, and fixing certain
day to do so, thereby compelling all pay

Congress boon dcmoralzed. In q word,
al; profitable business has been brought
to stand.still. Millions Of people are
without employment, hopeless and help
less, face to face with want and hunger
and winter before them. The remedy
for these evils in my judgment is a
change Of administration. 1t cannot be
that the Republican party that has pro-
