dsvery allies, and trust to luck in the South.
Will the wings of the South submit to be dra-
gooned into the ranks of Seward and Company,
without pledges or any evidence of their purposes
except their undisguised hostility to Southern
slavery Can General Scott, the candidate of
Seward receive the support Of the wings Of the
South, and continue dumb as an oyster on the Fugi-
tive Slave lawl Can it BIO possible that the empty
consideration Of the spoils will induce Southern
wings TO cooperate blindly with the declared
enemies Of their institutions! Are they willing
to take Seward and his piebald anti-slavery
confederates upon trust! Are they ready to re-
ceive the gift of Trojan horse? We cannot
SO far doubt their patriotism sagacity as to be-
lievc it. There yet symptoms of such a
hazardous experiment. The wings Of not one soli-
tary Southern State have declared for Scott because
of the suspicious friendship between him and
Seward and his abolition organs and the Southern
wing party will be totally demolished if it shall ever
consent to the dctaton Of the arch agtator and to
accept his candidate upon his own terms. 1t has
been threatened that unless the South shall thus
submit, the. slavery agitation will be renewed, and
the Northern wing party will become actively
ISOLATED with the anti-slavery societies. So let
it be.
But let the south stauu ON the uelenSlv0. Let
them be guarded in advance against the possible
influences of Seward over the next administration.
He looks to the ultimate occupation, himself, Of the
White House. He relies upon the anti-slavery sem
timent Of the North, as the balance of power that
will carry him there. The election Of Scott by
antslavery votes will place him under the control
of Seward and his confcderates That will be another
step gained by the abolitionists. If General Scott
cannot endorse the Fugitive Slave law, he leaves 1t
open to agitation, and invites agitation. He leaves
the South at the mercy Of the aboltoniss ana casts
his fortunes into the hands Of Seward, Garrison and
the nullifers. We apprehend that the wings Of the
South win not be prepared to acquiesce in such
compromise. There will be rough work to do in
Philadelphia on the 18th of June.
LOLA Monies AND HER AssAILANTs.--The extra
ordinary success and popularity of the Countess de
Landsfeldt Uola Montes), in the metropolis of the
Puritans, has brought out on her ladyship and her
ladyship's character whole host of very powerful
assailants, who seem to be determined to extermi-
nate her, both in this world and in that which is to
come, without any hope Of reform, repentance, or
redemption, in any quarter
During an interval Of leisure, Lola Monies took
the opportunity to visit some of the public insttu
tons and seminares of learning in Boston, both male
and female, in company with some of the school
thorities of the place. On the occasion, it seems,
she displayed great tact, high manners, and abun-
dance of learning, making speeches to the pupils in
French, Latin, and other languages These visits
are the occasion of fresh outburst of indignant
rality in this neighborhood. Accordingly, we find
that the New York Tribune, the New York Times,
and the Courier dcs Etats Unis, are all down, in
the most indignant terms, the authorities of Bos-
ton for paying much attention to an a,tste and
wandering Countess, whom they accuse of all sorts
of offences, sins, and crimes that can render woman
contemplate and odious in this world. By these
journals she is called everything but an angel
This rather queer spectacle of Simultaneous at
tack the private character and reputation of Lola
Monies, by such journals, will create some noise,
hereafter, in the courts ofaw. We understand that
the counsel of the artistic has received positive drec
tions to libel suits against the proprietors
of each of the journals who may have assailed her
character, imputed wrong to her private reputa-
ton. 1t is probable, therefore, that suits at law
estimating the damages, in each case, at thirty thou
sand dollars--wil be edately brought against
the New York Tribune, the New York Times, and
the Courier dcs Etats Uais Lola Monies insists
that she has been a correct and high-mnded woman,
and that in this country, in the old world,
can prove the contrary against her. We do not
suppose that the assailans Of the artistic have any
personal knowledge Of the offences or the immortality
which they 50 literally charge against the Countess.
In her famous manifesto to the public, published
here during her first engagement, she denied all
these imputations against the purity of her charao
ter, and persisted, in all quarters, in claiming for
herself life of eccentricty, to be sure, but not of
immortality or vi e. Why journals pretending to
respecability, should assa a,tiste, and woman.
in the grossest manner-calling her "rake," an
Aspasa," ''cast-of Mistress ''Lorrette,"
{" bigamist''-without any positive evidence Of the
charges within their reach, and on the mere news
paper rumor Of other countries, is spectacle in
newspaper management rather level with the
morality Of the Five Points, than that of the high
principles and fine sensbities Of philosophers So
cialists, patriots, Frcnchmen who assemble around
the Tribune, Times, and Courier deS Etdts Unis.
They will have opportunities, however, far We
can learn, of proving their charges against Lola
Monies private character, of being subjected to
the verdict Of jury in each case, with claim pre-
sented against them of thirty thousand dollars each
making, in all, ninety thousand dollars damages
which she claims against these traducors Of cha
racter.
The journals thus libelling and assailing the UNI
happy Countess well known for their cxtrava-
giant idoatry Of Kossuth and his vagares Perhaps
it is dread of the rising popularity of the Count
ess de Landdeldt, as politician and notorety,
and the declining reputation of Kossuth, their idol,
which may have caused the present outburst Of in
dignation. Be that it may, we have heard it
stated that Lola Monies is preparing series of lee
lures on the politics and public men of Europe,
which will be in direct contrast, in its theories and
descriptions, with the recent oratons and speeches
of Kossuth. Lola Monies claims to be republican,
but not red republican. She opposes socialism
and Intervention with the neutrality-suspicious.
ing Kossuth humbug Of the first water. Tho con-
test for reputation which is now begun between her
and the socialist journals Of this city, will soon be
in the courts of law, and will command the ntten-
ton Of the public, far and wide. II will be funny
