MP C1RLISLFS ELECTION.

Mr. Carlisle was nominated as tarlh re-
for,ner He was supported by that section OF
tbe Democratic party which has grown tired OF
Mr.. Randalrs policy of keeping quiet and let
ting industry alone. He was the choice OF the
free traders, the @bold spirits" the men who
refuse to be afraid of their platform; ana
from all that conservative wing OF tho party
which is found north of the Potomac and east
of the Alleghanies he received In the caucus
only one vote 1t is useless to deny the signifi-
conce of his election. 1t means that the De-
mocracy has passed under the control OF the hot
heads, and that our "business interests are
not to be consulted any further. 1et In MS
speech yesterday Mr.. Carlisle declared that
"sudden and radical changes IN the laws anu
"regulations affecting the commercial IN
"terests of the people" would not DO

IDENTIFY the new Speaker sees the need
of hedging at once. He perceiyes that
great damage has been done to his party
Inv the feeling that his election means the
triumph of Free Trade he has discovered that
the Democrats have thrown OIL the mask 700
soon. and now he wants to put it on again unui
after the Presidential election. This cunning

Trade and everybody knows 1t.
Cautious Democrats have already taken
alarm. The Sun does not hesitate to call the
choice of Mr.. Carlisle a misfortune, and only
homes that it may be repaired by the prudent
| behavior of Congress. The W0rld Is irahtlcaiiy
arguing that Mr. Carlisle can do no harm
because the Republican President and Senate
will not let him, and is begging the victorious

most of the fighting next year, and Its miSgv-

faction should keep quiet for a whole year,
cover nm its designs, and adopt the policy OF the
faction il has Just defeated in an animated
struggle. is in the last degree unnatural M
set OF politicians Co'lu """i" w P'"'
selves in such a ridiculous position; and even
if the plan were feasible the Southern and
Western Democrats who have elected Mr.. Car
Isle are the last men in the world tc assentto
it. Those who are asking them 10 keep quiet
forget that the policy of keeping quiet was the
very point at issue in the Spcakcrship struggle
and that the quiet party were beaten. We may
look for disturbance early in the session.
Even if the victors should curb their impa-

of 1854. The most that their comrades ask oil
them il TO keep still until after the election
