The presses Of all sections are teeming with specu
lations on the new phases and combinations which
recent events may give to their respective parties A
few of our own presses amazed and indignant that the
repeal Of the slavery compromise of 1920 should
have incensed the Wings as well as the Democrats
of the North, and regardless of all its common prin
cpes and purposes and its great conservative mis-
sion, are for forthwith dissolving the party. We
have heretofore briefly noticed this notion Of po-
liical eo de Sc, and trust that reflection and more
hopeful views will gradually dispel the gloomy idea.

friends in Virginia the annexed couple of para
graphs, which We have just met with from opposite
points of the Union-one being from Texas, the
other from Boston.

years ago joined with South Carolina in denonncing the
compromise measures and declared the interests of the
South betrayed by their passage Secessionism at the
South and Aboonism OF the North opposed the compro
