May lst. 1879.
Political parties of late have been
drawing the lines for future operations. and
it may be said, we think, that there is no
mistaking the situation. The discussions
during the extra session have developed the
ground occupied by each of the two great
parties and may be stated as follows: The
majority in both branches of Congress, the
democrats, are houndering round in the at
mosphere OF Calhoun and others, proclaim
ing State Rights more ychcmcntly than that
doctrine was ever proclaimed before The
republicans, while conccding every right to
the States that justly belong to them. ut the
same time, have the gool sense to recognize
the United States in their deliberations and en-
actmcnts.
The veto message of President Hayes has
thrown the democracy into confusion, and lust
now they seem to be holding series of war
councils, in order to determine lust what
they had better do. To 90 ahead, is inevita-
