The Poitical Prospect.
If the election in New Hampshire
showed some apathy upon the part of
mose wno usually support the Republi
can party, the election in Connecticut
shows as distinctly that the indiffer
ence is checked. And the reason
is evident. The people of this country,
who maintained the government during
the war, have not forgotton their work,
and do not mean to reliquish its results.
They cherish no vindictive feeling, but
they are no fools. While their own par
ty leaders sometimes displease them, so
that they show their disapproval by let
ting an election go by default, the mo
ment the enemy reveals his spirit and
purpose, they spring to their feet. In
jouo 00 Aoarew jonnson was apparent
ly seriously demoralizing the Republican
party. Hut the massacres in New Orleans
and Memphis distinctly revealed the
character ol the opposition, and the con
sequences of Democratic success ; and
from that moment the Republican domin
ance was substantially assured.
Ihere has been a corresponding siuta-
tion within the last few months. There
is, indeed, fortunately, no Andrew John
son ; but there have been diffictilttp ami
divergences of many kinds, and jealousies
nd imbittered feelings, until there seem
ed to be serious disorder amoog Republi
cans. Ihcre were doubts aud questions
and cloomv anticipations, and the New
Hampshire election occurring in the midst
of them all was hailed by the Democratic
party as the sign of a fatal breach, or the
rising of "a tidal wave." We ventured
to say of it, however, that it might prove
to be an advantage, by leading Republi
cans to a better mutual understanding. -
And that this will be its result we have
no doubt. For the same general restless- j
ncss and uncertainty which lost that elec
tion to the friends of the Union and good
government, quickened to spirit of the
Southern Democracy, which has natural-
y aiways ocen me controlling element ot
the Democratic party, and within a month
the country has had a prophetic vision of
the inevitable results of renewed Demo
cratic ascendency.
It has seen in the Southern States men
and women, whose offense is their color,
or their fidelity to the Union and to the
government, harried and murdered.
This disorder, occasioned by Democrats
and leveled at Republicans, has swelled
to the proportions of insurrection, so that
Congressand the country could not bedeaf
to the cries of citizens outraged aud slain
that others might be kept from the polls,
and Democratic, majorities assumed by a
reigu of terror. In the midst of these
events the country has also seen Jeffer
son Davis suddenly conspicuous, and in a
public speech declaring that the lost cause
might jet be won. Mr. Linton Stephens,
brother of Alexander II. Stephens, and a
respected Democratic leader in his sec
tion, demands at Augusta the overthrow
of all the reconstruction, acts, and "a re
adjustment of our institutions upon re
newed constitutions." Leading Demo
cratic newspapers in the Southern States
loudly echo and applaud the demand, and
accept the New Hamsphire election as a
sign that the work of the war may be un
done. The most repesentatire ot these
papers remind their readers that the last
Natiooal Democratic Convention declar
ed the reconstruction acts "unconstitu
tional, revolutionary, and void," and they
claim that they are notless so now ; and
that they must, of course, be the issue in
1872.
When thus the country sees that the
declaration of the Democratic party in.
the Southern States is for overthrowing
the great settlements of the war, it per
ceives also that the Tammany Ring, su
preme in the Democratic party of New
York, and aiming to grasp the National
Government, confirms the monstrous
fraud of the Erie bill, which strikes at
the most vital right of the control of pro
perty ; repeals the Registry law, to make
cheating more practicable: and in the
city of New York assumes the powers so
imperially absolute that the better men
even of its own party protest. Gaining
power in Missouri, the Democratic party
sends ueneral Jilair to the benate upon
his D rod head letter as a platform the
letter which appeals to civil war, advis
ing the use of the army to undo recon
structiou ; and from his seat in the Senate
he writes to a Southern Democratic editor
that the issue in 1872 shall be the rever
sal of all the settlements : and that bv a
Democratic success "all the contrivances
by which the Radicals have sought to
trammel the people, and fortify them
selves in power, can thus be effectually
swept away."
Meanwhile the Democratic declaration
that the reconstruction acts are unconsti
tutional, revolutionary and void, remains.
No State convention has withdrawn as
sent to such a statement; uo authorita
tive leader of the Democratic party has
yet announced his entire acquiescence in
reconstruction. Whe World, indeed,
quotes Mr. rernaudo Wood ! Uut Mr.
Wood s declarations carry no weight, and
inspire uo respect. It quotes Mr. John
Quiucy Adams. Rut Mr. Adams sneer
iu gly says of the party which he has late
ly joined, that it must begin by being
Democratic that is to say, it must dis
card all its policy and all its leaders. The
Moblie Register is a much Founder and
more generally accepted authority iu the
Democratic party than Mr. Adams, a,od
the Register insists I hat reconstruction is
the issue. Nor can the World be accep
ted cs &u authority iu iu party. i op
posed repudiation in 186S, but repudia
tion was put into the Democratic plat
form. It favored Mr. Chase, but Sey
mour was nominated. It " advised the
abandonment of General lilair, and it was
..eariiiy cursed oy its party. It opposed
the fcne bill and its Governor signed it,,1

confession that "Southern Democracy" is

evident. The Democratic party is the
orcanizat on of all the elemenis nf rMM!n
disorder, discontent, and revolution. The

KJ v-vv- fWM.vuv

repudiation, and which now ravages loyal i
sections with the Ku-Klur nrl ,.n,nna

to pay the pensions of loyal soldiers, or
would demand an equal payment of rebel
claims. The prospect of Democratic suc
cess is one of endless confusion, alarm,
and anarchy. The passions of slavery
a
ana .01 tne war are smoldering, not!
extinguished fires. Whatever criticisms
may be made of certain details of Repub
lican administration, its general success,
the profound confidence that it is both
honest and economical, and that the gov
ernment of the Union is safer in the hands
of its proved frieods than it possibly can be
in those of all its enemies of every kind,
are more than enough to commend that
administration to the heartiest support of
all good citizens.
The vague talk of certain Democrats
about " dead issues" need deceive no one.
The very issues that are described as
dead by the feeble Northern wing of that
party are vehemently declared to be the
most vital of all by the controlling South
ern element. Indeed, the force of the
Democratic party has always been with
its Southern wing, not only because of the
greater general ablity of its Southern
leaders, but because the great policy of
the party was a southern -interest. The
Northern leaders have no policy to replace
that of slavery, while tho only positive
movement in the party at this moment is
that which is pressed by General RIair
and the Southern leaders, the effort to
overthrow reconstruction. Let the Domo
cratic party begin by being Democratic,
sneers Mr. John Quiucy Adams, who
clearly sees that the party he has joined
is the party of privilege, of a class, of a
section, and not the party of liberty Union,
and the people.
It is because we believe the situation is
suddenly clear to the honest and loyal
people of the United States that we also
believe they will now fall into line and
move unitedly forward to victory. They
have perfect faith in the honesty of the
administration, and they know that dis
senters have now expressed their dif
ferences and dissatisfactions.' They will
not,' indeed, hesitate yet to do so ; but
every man who comprehends thedisasteres
sure to follow Democratic control of the
government will insist that Republican
criticisms of our own party shall be
friendly, and not helpful to the common
enemy ; for it is only by friendly criticism
that the party policy is made truly wise.
To all that we have done and are doing
let us add a general amnesty, that the in
telligent, classes who arc disfraucihsed
may have an interest in the preservation
of order. A little sagacity assures our
triumph. And it is not party prejudice
it is the perception of an obvious situa
tion and a simple calculation of probabili
ties which assure overy thoughtful man
that the continued ascendency of the Re
publican party is indispensable to the peace
and consequent prosperity of the country

. Wild Men of the Mountainsv ;
It has been rumored for some time in
California that in the mountains at
Orestimba creek arc to be seen occasional
ly cither gorillas, or wild men so devoid
of personal attractions that they may frfv
ly be classed as gorillas. A correspond
ent of the Antioch Ledger gives a de
scription of one of these animals, or per
sons, as a man, but it could not have been
human. The creature, whatever it was
stood full five feet high, and dispropor
tionately broad aud square at the should
ers, with arms of great length. The legs
were very short aud the body long! The
head was small, and appeared to be set
on the shoulders without any neck. The
whole body was covered with dark, brown
and. cinnamon colored . hair, that on
the head standing in a shock and grow
ing close down to the eyes like a DTgger
Indian's. As I looked he threw his head
back and whistled again, aud then stoop
ed and grasped a stick from the fire.
Tins he swung round and round until
the fire on the end had gone out, when
ho repeated the manoeuvre. Fifteeu
minutes I watched him as he whistled
and scattered my fire about. could
easily have put a bullet through his head
but why should I kill him 'I Having
amused himself apparently all he desired
with my fire he started to go, but having
gone a short distance he returned, and
was joined by another a female unmis
takablywhen they both turned , and
walked past me, within twenty yards, of
where 1 sat, and disappeared in the bush.
A goose and colt out iu Michigan ha va
struck up an attachment of a decidedly
romantic character. They fight for each
other, aud are constantly together. When
tho colt lies down the goose will sit down
close beside him and wait uutil be gets
up. When the colt is fed eorr ia.tlie
ear he will fill his mouth with, shelled?
corn and drop it where the goose cun
pick it up. r .
