 The faends Of thG Union thr0u shout 0at con federacy, are awaiting the result with intense anxiety, Ssoud our democracy triumph, which d1 not doubt. we shall ihen have good reason to hope that the fatal question of slavery wiiI soon be finally settled and placed al rest. Oa ;ho con trary, ihe fe eseetIea of Gov Johnston. with his ayowed hostility t0 the fugitive slave law, and hls approval withheld from the repeal of the NroviSon denying to sister States the se of jals f8I the detention oifag.tveS from labor VIII keep alive and exasperate the present dangerous agitati6n on the su5icc. of slavery Tarfs may hc raised or re- dUeed-appropratons for Internal Improvements by the General Government may be rejacted-in short all tAe great and important questions which have heretofore divided the two political parties oi the country. may be decided n favor of one or inc other; and the Gnon of Ihs States will ccmpa.a tveiy be in 10 danger. Not so in regard to the question of slaveryfor this plain reason, that it's agitation by the fanatics and abol4tionlsts Of the North, endaHgeIs the domestic security, the lresde peace and happiness of every man, woman and child in the slaveholding States. The agiatlon ne- eessarly renders the slaves of the south dsconent ed and unhappy, and predisposes to acts which hu- manty eo9ld not contemplate without horror. Self preservation IS the first instinct of nature; and for this reason the Union wlll be m seTlouS danger when ever the southern people are eoRvinc- ed that t s inconsistent with then personal safety

Such victory will come with healing on it's wings" We may then predlc, with confidence the return of that peace and tran guilty winch have been baniSbed from our coun- uy ever since 1855, when the unfortunate agitation commenced. Each Staie will then manage itS own domestic concerns n Us own manner, withoa, aDy unpertnent interference from it's Belghbors. The constitutional rights of the Southern States Will then be acknowledged and vndicated by their Northern Sisters. and we shall continue to be great, prosperous and united cohiedeTacy--tbe envy, the example and the admiration of tie whole w0f!d.

Emigration.

Our city in the last few weeks has assumed 4ulie a lively and business like appearance.
 Every thoroughfare leading to this place is daily filled and crowded with wagons, carriages and ve- hicles of every kind, some coming in richly load ed with the yearly produce of the soil, and others returning with their supplies of goods and sroce- ues for the country trade.
 And the tide of emigration is already very great. Numbers Of substantial farmers from various DOT tiors of the republic are pushing on to the fal west to open and settle new homes H IS immense and unexpiored wilderness.
 The road from Memphis though th.S place io Red river is, we are credbly informed. @ crowded and lined'' with caravans Of ennigran;s, and that they still continue in undiminished numbers to pour across the Mississippi on this route to dfFer- cut sections of this State and b Texas. How clearly does this fact demonstrate the great u:i,y of a good substantial road from some point on the Mississippi ryer to the interior of this State.
