BEGINNING TO BE APPRECIATED.

Northern demagogueism is beginning to be
appreciated by Southern men The manifestoes
of Messrs. Dallas and Paulding turn out to be
poor bids in the Southern market The New
Orleans Ua.) Crescent paper never backward
to urge the pretensiOns of slavery, says of them
"They indicate. among the other thousand
and one signs Of the day, the approach of a
Presidential canvass, and show that the poll
ticians are already in the field, harvesting votes
They offer pertinent and positive proof of the COM
mGnding influence Of Southern delegates an a
National Convention, aud Of the ArUile appeals
politicians Of distinguished Standing riH unhea-
tGtingly make 10 them They are t.ro bids, 1t
seems 10 as, for Southern popularity and are
made Nth a reckless zeal rhiek diOrs that If
more lcere required Of them, they lcould promise
everything and anything"
No doubt about it-though you should re-
qure them to believe in the doctrine of con-
structiye treason, and repudiate that of con-
structive mileage. Nothing so absurd or I'M
natural that they would not do it,
As to the amendment of the Constitution pro-
posed by Mr.. Dallas to remedy anti-slayery
does not believe he himself knows what he
means, in which remark we entirely concur
It adds: "This doctrine of amendment is the
most dangerous and anti-Southern which has
been preached, and the South would be insane
to countenanceitn Alas that inventors in pol.
tics and in the arts should be so poorly paid
Poor Mr. Paulding meets with no better treat
ment. He is assured that " there is nothing in
his letter which has not been said, much bette,
said, twenty times before, by Rhett and his CO
laborersp
Both are summarily dismissed in the following
terms from which we infer that like the great
men We read of in history, who have received
more kicks than coppers for their counsels,
they have lived before or after their time
ain reading the letters of Messrs Dallas and
Paulding we could not fail to observe that the
approaching elections were plainly IL .ss1S7

canvass. They minister to dangerous sectional
feeling. They cast sparks of fire into explosive
natures and, in fact declare open war upon the
compromise Mr. Dallas asks an amendment
OF the Constitution. MIR. Pauiding Is hopeless
gloomy, restless he sees no alternative between
wrong and insult and secession. Are these the
convictions Of these eminent statesmen Can
any man of common sense believe that they are
Are they not, rather, mere political remnants,
raised in advance of the coming contest to at
tract supporters in its heat and pressure? Such
we hold them. They are the forerunners of
that unfortunate system of electioneering in the
Presidential contest, by miserable appeals to
purely local and sectional feeling y

FRANCE.

PortentouS Ministerial Crias-7he Prea-
dent and The Electoral Ld0--It was confidently
stated in Paris, on the 18th, that the President
had actually accepted the resignation of the
Ministry The announcement was made more
startling by the further assurance that M de
Girardn would be member of the new Cabi-
net. These rumors caused half cent decline
in funds
The immediate cause of the resignation of
the French Cabinet was a proposition on the
part of Louis Napoleon to repeal the electoral
law of the 3lst of May. The Messenger de
2 Assemble says:
"At Cabinet council held few days back
with the President of the Republic in the chair
thut high runctionary proposed plainly to his
Ministers to repeal the law of May 81 THAI
proposition was energetically opposed by tn,
majority of the Cabinet and particularly b,

LETTER FROM CINCINNATI
THE OHIO ELECTION
CINCINNATI. October "a, /,

CINCINNATI, October "a 1851.
To the Editor Of The National Era
The returns of our recent State election, the
first under our new Constitution are slowly
coming in, the official returns from the minority
of the counties having as yet been received, but
sufficient is known to indicate Enthusiastically
the success of the entire Democratic ticket by
large majorities.
The majority for Wood over Vinton the
Wing candidate for Governor, will be from fif-
teen to twenty thousand and the Democratic
candidates for Lieutenant Governor, Secretary
of State, Auditor, Treasurer and Attorney
General, will not fall much behind. AS two of
the Wing candidates for Judges of the Supreme
Court ANDREWS and Storor) were also ON the
Free Soil ticket it was supposed, until within
two or three days past, that they were elected
but the Democratic majority isso large M TO car
ny their ticket over all opposition. The Reserve
gave upwards of eight thousand majority for
Andrews and Storer, but, in the whole State,
Storer, the highest on the Wing, will fall sew
eral thousand below BARLEY, the lowest on the
Democratic ticket The Democratic candidates
for the Board of Public Works three in num-
ber) are also successful and the Legislature
will be Democratic in both Houses by an over
majority.
The party, therefore, have made "ceap
Sweep and a. the Legislature under the neS11
Constitution meets but once in two years, and TIN
Senate il all chosen Mt once, instead OF one-half
holding over rs under the old, the party have
secured the entire control of State affairs for
the next two years at least so decidedly, that
the whole responsibility must rest upon them.
The returns received make it certain that the
General Assembly will stand as follows

SEPT. 24.-Col Morris and some other gen.
tlemen, visited the officers Of the Mexican gar
rison last evening, at which Wild Cat, with
some fifty warriors, We're in attendance and
when Big Talk was had, Wild Cat appeared
in grand costume, wearing his sable plume and
ornaments, and painted according to his fancy,
THAT is to say, painted for war; and his men
had likewise called Red Clay to their aid and
the whole family looked pretty much like so
many devils of the second class and much talk
ing did it require to keep the judiciary peace
able but after many explanations. Wild Cat
concluded to keep cool, and wait for the au-
thorities to give his woolly headed friends their
liberty once more. The first intention of the
Indians was to rush across the river and rescue
the prisoners, but the Mexican captain notified
them that if they did SO he would FIRE upon them
if they attempted to recroSs the river and
Master Wild Cat found himself between two
fires, and | doubt not that the prospect thus
presented had some weight to keep him in
check. At the end the conference, Wild Cat
asked Col. Morris if he was permitted to cross
over and see the prisoners; and receiving per-
mission, he came over to-day, and brought over
with him some twenty of his men, but thus far
/ have not seen him, and he is at this time with
the prisoners"
Wild Cat will not submit to the operations
of kidnappers as tamely as his white brethren
in the North, so that we may look out for
squalls

The Free Soil vote ON the Reserve, embra-

DIVISION OF CALIFoRNIA-The San Fran
cisco Post says
ave cannot conceal from ourselves the fact
that should separation take place, the free
soil and slavery controversy will be unavoida-
bly, revived in the United States in regard to
California. The desire to introduce slavery in
Southern California is evidently cherished by
many in this country, and the formation of n
Territorial Government will afford them the
desired opportunity. A separation, then, may
be regarded as but the prelude to the estab-
lishment of slavery, and in considering the de-
mand of the Southern people this will doubtless
he borne in mind We had hoped that this
awkward and annoying controversy would be
forever keep aloof from California Hitherto
we have been singularly fortunate in an entire
freedom from the violent discussions which have
threatened the integrity of the Union ON that
subject This tranquility should not, ser any
light and trivial causes, be disturbed We do
not know how slavery can be introduced in the
lower counties formed into Territory without
a fierce -struggie m thu United STATES; and,
should such strife be the inevitable conse-
quence of the step, then the grave question
must arise whether it is worth while to leopard
the peace and integrity of the Union for so
trivial a qualification"
