It Hasn’t Come Yet.

NeW Albany Tribune. Ever since Congress met “a split of large proportions” has been just on the point of rending the Republican party right in two in the middle, if Democrat faith is well founded. It was going to come on the tariff bill. It war certain on the silver bill. Thp sword is just ready to drop on the party because of the election bill. And now Mr. Blaine will surely throw a whole case of dynamite. And yet, and yet, things work right along. If hope deferred maketh the heart sick as has been claimed, the illness of our political enemies must be deep-seated and ghastly.' There has been nothing stupider than the continued conviction of the Southern Democratic politicians tht t they are the people divinely appointed and ordered to run this country.

There is a prevailing fancy that as the Democratic party was sympathetic with slavery and rebellion it must be sustained, and that the more the black man is oppressed the greater will te the vindication of the South.

Consistently as usual, the Constitu-tion-shrieking nullifiers, of whpm from six to ten are elected to Congress on an aggregate vote equal to that cast in one New York congressional distriot. are troubled about the small vote of Nevada, and as they are devotees bf State sovereignty they want the fAaie abolished. This sort of doable and twist runs through the whole Demo* cratic party.
