Mr.. EDITOR, SIR The portent of momentous
events, impend around the political horizon Ma
ny minor unsuccessful aspirants, WILL as Is usa-
al and natural maneuvre for nomination ana cleo
ton to the next presidency. The symptoms OF
late occurrences strongly indicate that certain
members of Congress from mostly all the States,
we're wooed and courted, by prominent leader of
the federal or wing party, who once degned to
ltamper with John Randolph, for station and infu-
ence. In strict parlance, whiggery still means
what it did, true patriotism but assumed
by the federalist, it means recreancy or federal
whggery. A nefarious Vaccination was In 1850
invented and contrived, to foreclose an assumption
of the North, by an unconditional surrender of
that issue by the South. The device was union
with consolidation over the constitution, and with
exclusive privilege to Office, against union with
equal rights under the constitution, and with pro-
scrlpuon from office. From the temperament and
construction of the parties, as few are good, but
many are evil, it had the singular and rare proper
ty to divide the democracy, and to leave federal
ism nearly intact and unhurt. AS in 1900 the
parties became federal unonists, and republican
unionists the latter word implied, but then omit
ted And as then, the political battle, in
presidential canvass, is again waged for an as
cendancy of consolidation and federalism. But the
long and secret preparations of the unonisters or
spurious party, are now apt to surprise, and may
The rancorous and inveterate crusade against
Southern institutions, famed and abetted by for
eign and formidable nation, will probably never
again permit the two sections to live together in
much peace and harmony. Having done and in
tending no wrong the South needs no concealment,
beyond defensive prudence, and may with profit,
look her future destiny quietly in the face. She,
by the tendency of current events, may without
an alteration, soon become subject to the North ;;
be displaced by servle lineage, or form distinct
confederacy, for amaigamation is scarcely possible
to her. and she will not be suffered to remain long
in her present attitude The government is al
ready in effect consodatory. The political signs
of affairs forebode the nomination of Pennsylva-
Man at the North on the mixed ticket of democrats
and freesoers, and that of a kentucklan at the
South, on a ticket of the unionsters consolida-
tionists and aboIitionists. Masks in the ranks of
each ticket contrary to fanaticism, will be to
disguise pernicous and odious doctrines. The
latter candidate, old aSpirant to dctation in the
United States is as willy and notorious Santa
Anna in Mexico was. Ordinary elections fire.
quently won by the republicans, money cannot
be lavished on every canvass, but the important
elections, it seems, are lattery generally won by
the federal party, by free use of money and chi
canery, under the creed that the integrity of most
persons has price, the former being committed
to the management, with instructions of special
and secret agency. This republic then, appears
to be at present in very similar situation to the
republic of France, under the rule of its president
Louis Napoleon. If a consolidation of the gov
eminent, is by future results confirmed, an cleo
tive monarchy on good behavior, will at favora-
BILE con- unciure of circumstances, and in change
of the constitution, succeed under the guise of
President and Senate, elected to Office during good
behavior to prevent and suppress agitation and
instruction among the people Diffidence and
Jealousy, safeguards to prosperity and liberty
