THE DEMOCRACY QUIET BUT REsoLUTE.
WASHING TON, Nov. 25.-There is much |
subdued excitement here over the news from |
the South but the feeling in Democratic |
circles is, that the final adjustment of the
political situation in the doubtful States
may, should it come to that pass, be left to
The action of Congress. There is calm
determination not to tolerate wrong or suffer
fraud to attain a successful issue :; but if the
Republicans hope for any action on the
Democratic side to justify arbitrary meas
ures they are doomed to disappointment.
The approaching session will be short
one, and much business demands attention
But the great issues of the day are to be
.e alt with, and dealt with in spirit of digni-
led debate, whatever firebrands Republican
members may endeayor to throw into the
discussion. The temper OF. the Democratic
Congressman already here exactly reflects
hat of the party throughout the Union. No
fraud will be endured but no pretext for
orce will be Afforded.
