ected on account of his hostility to him and his, or whether he will make a struggle to defend his rights, his inheritance and his honor." The New York Herald says: We have neither space nor time this morning to comment at length upon this great and momentous revolution in our political affairs. The conservatives, who still believe in the strength of the Union, will be comforted with the assurance of an anti-Republican majority in both Houses of Congress. The success of Bell and Everett in several of the Southern States is also considered as affording a powerful guarantee for the maintenance of the Union in the South. Upon the Congressional issue the city of New York has discharged her duty handsomely. We refer the reader to our copious details upon the subject, else where in this paper. We begin with this day a new epoch in the political history of the United States. The Republican party have crossed the Rubicon. Are our anxieties at an end, or are our troubles only

The Presidential election. --Our latest telegraphic dispatches assert that Missouri and Tennessee have both been carried for Bell and Everett by decided pluralities. The Louisville Courier (Democratic) concedes that "Mr. Bell has certainly carried the State." --This would give the Union ticket thirty-seven electoral votes, including the two Bell electors on the New Jersey fusion ticket.

from their sense of duty to the whole country, [applause,] the men who stand up and battle for the Constitution and the Union, and equality in the Union to all the States.* * * * Candidates whom the South can support, and acceptable also to the National Democracy of the North, have as a capital whereon to urge forward in pursuit of honorable victory the votes cast for Breckinridge and Lane, and perhaps as the contest has become in all respects a national one, those also which Bell and Everett obtained. Thus will be formed the great national party of our country, and around its banner all the true Democrats will rally, leaving the obsolete leaders of decayed factions in the ignominious obscurity and pitiful impotency which their meanness, folly, or corruption has secured for them. Is the hope of opportunity for thus concentrating our forces to be destroyed by the South? That is the question to be dealt with by our friends there, and to be dealt with now. Its solution we leave

Alberto Mario, who was reported as killed in the engagement near Isernia, is, as an English paper learns from a recent letter, safe Dr. Catheart, chief clerk of the office of the Second Comptroller of the U. S. Treasury, died in Washington on Monday. Rev. Amherst L. Thompson, who sailed from Boston for the Nestorian Mission, died on the 25th of August, on ship-board. A salute of 33 guns was fired at Falmouth, Va., Friday night, on the announcement that "Virginia had gone for Bell and Everett." Wm. Fryan, of Charleston, S. C., was killed at Wilmington, N. C., on the 26th inst., by an accident while pile driving. Jackson Thorpe, who weighed four hundred and ten pounds, died at Cincinnati on the 25th inst. A recipe for curing hams is all very well, but a better one is that for pro-curing them. G. J. Arnold, an actor, died in Cincinnati last week. Judge Larrabee, of Wisconsin, is not dead, as reported.

ould command the mercantile navy of the commercial world. The late Union was bothersome enough, but how will it be with this new tariff and the Pacific and Homestead bills ?--The Border States can't stand it. It is out of the question. I think there must be some mistake about Mr. Tyler's believing an honorable adjustment of our difficulties being near at hand.--He did not so express himself to me. Colfax denies that Lincoln has written conciliatory letters. Much to the disgust of Messrs. Everett and Winthrop, the Massachusetts delegation have united in a message to the Legislature of their State, urging them to send Commissioners here on the 4th of February. Republicans will be sent, and of course they will not carry out the compromise views of the Everett party. But the Tribune is in great fright about the prospect of a compromise. I hear from an intimate acquaintance of Seward that the Republicans will never agree to Crittenden's amendment. A new penny evening paper,

Seward says all will be right--Mr. Everett Thinks not. We have been furnished with the following extract of a letter dated "Washington, D. C., Jan. 29," from a highly respectable gentleman to a member of the Virginia Senate: "I spent a very pleasant afternoon, on yesterday, with Mr. Everett, at a friends's house, in Georgetown. He says that Seward assured him on Thursday last that all things would yet come right, but declined giving his reasons for so thinking; but that he (Mr. E.) has no hope of an adjustment, or even peaceable separation."

rn men, we are quite willing that Lincoln and Davis should stand before the world as representative men of their two sections. But, in spite of all the wrongs and robberies which the South has suffered' from Northern abolitionism, and the fact that the North deliberately selected Lincoln as its representative man, we will do it no such injustice as to avail ourselves of the advantage which its own action has placed in our hands. A section which can boast such names as O'Conner, Dickinson, Everett, Winthrop, &c., even though they cannot be elected to office, cannot be said to be entirely represented by such a person as Lincoln, The conservative minority in the North are among the noblest of mankind. Conservatism in the South is a recommendation to official promotion and honors, and may not be always disinterested; in the North, it signs a man's political death- warrant. Yet in every city, in every town and county of every Northern State, there are some men who cheerfully submit to

irginia, Maryland, and Tennessee--he would not go so far as North Carolina--and upon Kentucky and Missouri. Those who accepted the gifts would form a nucleus of acquiescence in the powers that be, and in the next election, or the next but one, we should have Black Republican orators on every stump, and where would Virginia's safety be? There might be those who thought he was for throwing away the treasure of the Union. He would tell them that in the last election he voted for Bell and Everett, but did so upon the declaration that if the Charleston Convention had made a nomination he would have supported it. But that failed, and he had thought that the conservative portion of the people might rally to save the country. In this he was disappointed. For years he had endeavored to drive back the wave of Northern fanaticism, and to save the Union--and in connection herewith he read from one of his speeches in Congress, wherein he appealed for justice in behalf of the South. He rea

ourse of action. Two years ago, he was called from the peaceful pursuits of agricultural life, against his earnest protestation, to become a candidate for the Senatorial District of Hanover and Henrico. He was elected, and it had ever been his effort to discharge his duties in a manner acceptable to his constituency. He had the good fortune to acquire their confidence. In the Presidential election he told them that the issue was Union or disunion-- and in upholding the cause of Bell and Everett he sought to throw the weight of Virginia on the side of the Union. He took the same ground in the canvass for the Convention. Prominent citizens of Henrico had addressed him a letter, urging him to become a candidate for a seat in this body, knowing his views and sentiments, and he consented, though he would have much preferred that some other, entertaining like opinions with himself, would have undertaken the canvass. He was elected, and now stood here prepared to defend every right of

Politics of the President. One of the most ingenious devices for accounting for the present volcanic state of the country, is that the Democracy have created the disturbance because they were defeated in the Presidential election. What exquisite nonsense! Was not the National Whig party also defeated? Moreover, does any man in his senses suppose that if John Bell and Edward Everpt had been elected, any party in the country would have cried out for Secession or Revolution! They were National men, Lincoln is a Sectional man, and his election an avowed sectional triumph. Some of the strongest supporters of Bell and Everett are the leading secessionists in the South.
