ana the reduction Of the army, could not be
embodied In system Of legislation with the
directly antagonistic principles of the Repub-
llcan party, and all the superintendent mate
rial measures were more or less affected by
these radical and irreconcilable antagonisms.
Is it singular, therefore, that, with q Congress
thus organized, there was so little done? Isit
not rather matter of establishment and eratu-
lation that so much was accomplished?
The failures Of the late session are not to be
remedfed by denouncing the Democratic
House, or in destroying the faith of the
people in the Democratic party. On the
contrary, wisdom and experience both
prompt us to go into the approaching canvass
with the fixed determination to place the
control Of the legislation Of the country com
pletely In the hands of the Democratic party: :
to make the Democratic party in Congress as
supreme as the Wings were in Parliament for
over forty years, when the Tories were I'M
able to obstruct their measures or modify
their legislation. When this is accomplished,
we will not see great measures Of reform de-
feated by the antagonism of the Senate and
Executive to the House, or by the timidity of
some and the open treason of others OF the
majority in the latter body.
We may then expect to see q general svs-
tenn of relief for the people carried out an
equalization OF public appropriations I'M
hampered by bitter sectional prejudices or
the fears and apprehensions of lily-livered
Democrats. If, when the control of the GOV
eminent is thus placed in the hands of the
Democratic party, and it fails In It's obliga-
tions to the country, then will be the time to
denounce and destroy it. In the meantime,
1t is the solemn duty of the conservative
press and conservative people to give their cor
dial and vigorous support to the Democratic
party, because the Democratic party is the
only hope of the country.
