$r MEANs.-Notwithsta all the
hlura that are hurled at the Democratic
psrty, and the odium attempted to be
heaped upon the confederate Con-
press," the credit of the government has
increased more rapidly since the Briga-
diers have come TO Washington, than be-
fore. The sale of the per cent. certifi-
Gates illustrates to a fair extent, the faith
of the people in the proposed legislation
of the Democratic party. They see in
the efforts t9 get the nation on a peace
footing again, an evidence OF future
peace and peace always leads to pros
perity. The temperate conduct OF the
Democrats in the present Congress, and
their determination to reduce the expen-
SEES as soon as they can do so is what
gives the people confidence. Twenty
years of peace under Louis Napoleon
made the French people the wealthiest
people Of Europe. Twenty years more
of peace should make the people OF the
United States the wealthiest and most
intelligent people, in proportion to num-
bers, that ever had an existence upon
the globe and this position is doubtless
within the reach of the next generation,
provided our sectional strife could be
overcome, and moderate system of
national expenditures shall be adopted.
This can only be done, ii is proved, by
giving the Democratic party the control
of the government. They have now the
House of Representatives and the Sen
ate. But Republican President becomes
now an obstruction to all bills having for
their object the curtailment of expenses,
and putting the army and navy on a
peace footing, from which it would be
impossible to get them into war atti-
tude again without consulting the PEG
pie. The people Of the States want

much of war; and they are tired o
wrangling. The Democratic party wan
