Dangers Ahead.

SAYS the New York Daily Herald, of March 12th, 1866:—

"No point in our history has been more dangerous than this; and we may see the real extent of this danger by comparing our position with analogous ones in the history of other nations."

In a late speech of a Senator in Congress, he is reported to have said:—

"The country is alarmed, the people are anxious, and the political atmosphere bodes the coming of no common storm. What can we do to prevent it, and bring back peace to the country and harmony to the party? Is there no common ground on which we can stand? Is there no common standard round which we can rally. . . . If, however, we refuse moderate counsel, the only remedy will be to take the consequences, and they seldom linger long behind the act."

Candid, thinking, observing men, are well satisfied that some great event is at hand.
