The complaint Of Mr.. Calhoun was. that the slave
power had sunk since 7s9 into feeble minority power
and whoever will examine the statistics of the Union
will at once how surely and steadily that power has
dwinded in comparison with the growth Of free popula
ton What, then, when this certain process 10 going on
ought the North to dol To exasperate and taunt, and
rrate the South, and dare il TO attempt secession By
no means; but, the contrary, 10 deal with ii kindly,
and in fraterna spirit, and 10 yield TO it, also, all lis
rights under the constitution satisfied that the consu
ton cannot be violated without danger the Unions and
that the dissolution Of the Union would be attended with
incacuable mischief, not only to all the inhabitants OF
Amerca-black az well as whiie-bnt to the great inter-
ests, also, Of civil liberty throughout the world

PRosPECrs IN THE STATE Our intelligence from every
portion of the State Of the most cheering character

decisive victory than now They feel this 10 be the fact
and believe they prepared to move forward uni
ted and harmonious, 10 certain success.
As we have before said, we have had the least
doubt TO ability 10 elect the ticket al the head oil
columns since the day OF lis nomination our only
fear has been lest the necessary organizations should
be completed Since the State convention OF the ''na-
ona wings, however, the democrats have been aroused
10 the importance oil this, and acting in most OF
the counties oil the State with becoming ZEAL which will
soon be evinced in the remaining sections.
We again caution friends against putting any conf.
dcnce in the stories set aoat by the wings that there il
not unanimy Of feeling among democrats their State
ticket Not an instance OF bad faith has come TO our
knowledge, do we believe there will be any shown
Such course would consign any pretending to
be democrat 10 his political grave. The union OF the
democratic party was made IN good faith and all al.
temps oil our opponents TO break up that union. or to
the seeds oil dstrust ranks, will prove labor
lost.
In many OF those counties TO which the wings have
hitherto looked for their large naores, the democrats
are laborng with most commendable zeal In all OF
them we are assured their accustomed najorties will be
decreased and in sangune friends antici-
pate victory These facts, we trust, will have the ef-
feet TO quicken the zeal OF democrats in those counties
which they have been accustomed 10 carry, and inspire
them with determination TO increase their msjorties
The wings also are up and doing. They are generally
well united their State ticket and labor only under the
fall, we think, will Be very large II so, our sue.
is cerainfor all that is necessary TO insure dem.
ocratic victory 10 New York is a full pote.
We are enabled to speak thus encouragingly 10 our
to the thought but from what believe to be reliable

fall the only for il will be that in portions OF
