Political Affairs.

The New York Tribune is claplorous for
an union Of parties against the Nebraska
iniquity and those to whom its consuma-
ton is due. We cannot pretend to an in
innate knowledge Of the public feelings
elsewhere, nor for the probability of the
return of any of the conspirators against
the public peace, to places of trust and
responsibility, in other places than Northern
Illienis and Southern Wisconsin; but, we
can say with sincerity if the peoples pulse
beats in other parts of the North as firmly
as it does here, that no aggregation OF hos
tile political elements is necessary to over
throw those who have set at defiance the
peoples will: the Anti-Nebraska Demo
ocrats with the aid of the democratic Free
Sellers Of 1846 are all sufficient in the two
northern congressional districts in Illinois,
and the first and second districts in Wis
consin, to efectually defeat the pretensions
of any man who swears by Douglas and
his pet abomination. In fact the Nebras-
ka influence in the districts just named, is
powerless even as disorganizing element
in the democratic ranks. 1t does not a.
mount to the mastering Of a corporars
guard. Hereabouts the Democracy stands
firmly upon the Baltimore Platform of
1852 the latest authoritative expositons of
democratic doctrines and democratic faith.
They have found no reason which will JUS
tify them in following off Douglas and
Pierce, in their abandonment of the dem
oc.etic creed, nor do they recognize the au-
thority of the President, and his hand or
gan, the Washington Union, to impose
new seats Of party fealty. Such being
the case, they can hardly make an advance
towards an union with their hearditary po-
litical enemies, nor can they tolerate with
any safety any boiling demonstrations on
the part of their former political friends
If the wings choose to vote for democrat
ic nominees, there will be no power to pre-
vent them. AS for the democracy proper,
their only hope is in maintaining inviolate
their ancient faith, no matter by whom it
may be assailed.-[Galena JET.

anxious to come, but could not procure
