o. In the above ,abls alone. appears to ts
s. sss the wings will take part with the abol.
tionists and endeavor to prevent the exte nson Of
slavery. All this is very possible, and if this To-
Icy be adopted-and we see no reason to doubt
its probability-ihe accession to the wing ranks
will be considerable, and perhaps large enough to
secure the election Of the wing candidate for the
Presidency in ls4S This we believe is the OBJ
isot in contemplation, and it will be effected if
possible. Stranger events than this have oc-
CURED.
These reflections are suggested by looking at
the above table, and comparing the results OF the
elections in 1874 and 1876 with the signs Of the
times. Theygive prospect ofa stormy session. The
administration will be much embarrassed and
will need stout hearts and strong arms to defend
II frsm the assault that will be made on it. Its
adherents in the two houses will have the recent
results of the elections in the several States 10
stare them in the face, but still this may not be
enough to dsmay them.
Other differences may be drawn from this table.
The wings will commence the presidential cam
paign with great advantages in their favor, but it
is a matter Of some doubt, whether theycan re-
tain these advantages long enough to do them any
service. They have the faculty OF losing their
ground Immediately after gaining it. 1, is seldom
that we see them 90 into campaign without the
loss of large number of their forces. But they
manage their cards, shrewdly and sagaoiously, the
next President of these United States, which
will include California, New Mexico, Tamauli.

THE PRoBAsLE Loss OF SHIP ZxNoBlA by the
following extract from the les book OF the brig
Mary, Captain Norris, twenty eight days from
Galveston for this port, which put into Newport
in distress, the 9th inst, is probable that the
ship Zenobia, Captain Kinney, cleared from this
port on AID inst, by N. l.. & G. Grswold, and
sailed on the 22d for Liverpool, loaded with
-four grain, &C., v'as lost in the recent severe
storm.

TIE BANKRUPT Law OF l84l.--I. will be reco-
lected that we gave, some time ago, an article re-
lative to,the bankrupt law oflS4l. The facts were
compiled from the Jfficial report published by
Congress.
The extraordinary operation Of that law were
then exhibited; but it appears that the London
Herald thinks them even more extraordinary
than we did While the English indulge in their
desperate efforts at severity and sarcasm over
the operations OF this law, they are inbedded in
= national debt Of 81 800 600 600, which their 60
vernment is gradually repudating by lesseniDg
the rate Of interest, and forcing the holders Of
their bonds TO take two and a half per cent, in
stead of SIX per cent, for their money.
We give the remarks of the London Herald, on
the outside of this days paper, in order to show
how quickly the English see the mote in their
neighbours eye.
THE RAILROAD TO THE PAcHio.-We refer our
readers, including members of Congress, now
about to assemble in Washington, to article in
this days Herald, taken from the Liverpool Stand
ard. II will be seen that efforts are making in
Europe to open a communication with the Paci-
fc, in order to secure the commerce of tha. ocean
to England or France, to the injury Of the United
States. Now that project for the construction
of 4 railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific is
before Congress, the article in question possesses
some value, and ought to attract general atten.
ton.
WORK FOR THE COMMON CoUNcn.-Bo.h boards
will meet this evening. We hope the committee
will report on the Jersey City ferry matter. No
time ought to be lost in putting the slip up at auc-
ton, and curtailing the present monopoly of its
bad features. The ferrage must be reduced to
three cents money enough can be made at that
Let US have the report, by all means.
MOVEMENTS OF DISTINGUISHED MEN.-Gen.
Lewis Cass, one of the candidates for the Pfesi.
dency, and now Senator in Congress, from Mich-
gan, is in town, and at the American House, en-
route to Washington.
AFFAlRs OF SOUTH CARoLIYA-We have re-
ceived the message of Gov. Aiken, and find it
possessing one good.point seldom met in guber-
material communications, brevity.

their agricultural blessings follows -
