THE FUTURE OF THE REPuBLIc.


The Albany Knickerbocker says DIR. Cotton
a short time since delivered a lecture on the
Future Of the American Republic The
doctor looks forward to some brilliant result,
and justi6es that look by the facts and figures
that have come to the surface during the past
few years. Look, for instance, on the new
world that has sprung up on our Pacific border
within the last seven years-not ten years. for
that would carry us back to the war with Mexi-
co. This has not been simply conquest Of
arms, but of civilization. We have already
built 1926 miles of Railroad, nearly all on
this side Of the Mississippi, and are now COM
pleting an average of more than two thousand
miles year. In 1852, it was 24l3; in 1853,
it was 45OO 1t is less than 1000 miles from
any point on the Mississippi to the Pacific; and
does any one imagine that that little length of
railroad LESS than what we are now complet-
ing annually-will not be built, when all the
world on this side the continent and all the
world on that side-when all Europe ON our
east and all Asia On our west, are calling for it
so loudly? The annual value of our common
exchanges which pass between Europe and
Asia, around the Cape of Good Hope, is $780,
100000, employing 1000 ships and $4,000
sailors. When the railroad across this continent
is completed, all this commerce will pass this
way. No merchant can trade against COM
petitor who carries his goods into market six
months in advance of him! But the time saw
ed between Europe and Asia by this road, and
by steam on the two oceans, will be three-fourths
of that now required to go around the Cape of
Good Hope; OF the time Of realizing returns
will be reduced from one to four The expense
Of the transport across the continent will be
about the same as it is now around the Cape.
1t is certain that when the Pacific Railroad is
completed, there will be little or no trade be-
tween Europe and Asia on the old routes. How
will this affect New York; Why, it will make
her the greatest city the world has yet seen.

Position Defined.

Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, in published
letter. defines the position of the National Demo-
cratic party Such service must be peculiarly well
come to the members of that party, in the present
rather complicated and confused condition of po-
ltical opinions. ssThe admission of Kansas ,,
says Mr.. Cobb, sis the paramount question of the
day. and party divisions must be made, of course
upon that issue. lie regrets exceedingly the ex-
element to which the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise has given rise to in the Free States, and
finds in this his chief apprehension of serious op-
position to the admission of Kansas into the Union
as Slave State. In this critical emergency, nc
says that the only hope for the South, the only
quarter on which they can rely for help is in the
Democratic party. In past time it is true they
had some aid from Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Webster,
through whose official influence a portion Of the
Northern Wings were brought to their support;
but even this resource failed when the Ne
braska bill was passed. $50 that" says Mr..
Cobb
ssUpon the great practical question which must
shortly be met-sha!l Kansas be admitted into the
Union with Slavery ?-theSOutt looks in gain for
help from a solitary Northern Wing Of any prom
inence or member OF any 0ther' SAGE the old Con-
StitutiOndl Democrat party. That there are a
few national Wings, with Mr.. Fillmore at their
head, whose hearts incline them to do justice to
the South, and who would do so if in their power,
l have doubt but the overwhelming ma jority
of their party are gainst, and the very effort to
do SO, without the masses of their party to back
them, is political death. Therefore, the South
can look with confidence to the Northern Demo-
cracy, and to them alone, in the impending
crsis.'
Mt. Cobb regards the Know-Nothings as likely
to strengthen the Anti-Slavery sentiment instead
of resisting it., and cites their actions in Massa
chusetts, New Hampshire and New York as evil
dence the South can hope for nothing at their
hands. Mr.. Cobb closes his programme of prin-
ciples by thus reading out of the Democratic par
ty all who do not assent to his position:
ssThe admission of Kansas is the paramount
question of the day. The position taken by the
Georgia Legislature, is, that no man is worthy of
political fellowship who denies the right of Kansas,
and all other Territories, to come into the Union,
with or without Slavery, as their people may de-
termne. This is the doctrine of the Democratic
party of this State, and of the sound national
Democrats of the North. Upon this basis the Ma
tonal Democratic party wiu stand in the coming
contest. In her ranks there will be no place for
Free-Soilers and Abolitionists. The man VIII o
denies this doctrine ought and will be deemed
unworthy of fellowship in the Democrats ranks"

The Daily Evening Union of the 4th

"In addition to the testimony heretofore

Political Morality.

The importance Of selecting men Of fster-
ling morality to gil the various Offices in
county and State, we fear has not hereto
fore been properly considered by the vO-
ters of Jefferson county. The position
given to men by the suffrage Of the peo-
pie, puts them in possession of an influence
which they exercise over the young and ri
sing generation for veal or for wo.
To see judicial or an executive officer
of the government taking "social glass"
or sitting at the table enjoying game of
cards, is calculated to inspire the young
and inexperienced with the false impress
sion, that there is something honorable in
such conduct, and thus to give an unheal'
thy tone to the morals of community
But of. all the habits INDUCED in by pub
lie fuuctionaries, that of profane swearing
is the most disgusting, and at the same
time the most Silly-a crime which brings
neither honor nor profit, but the contempt
of the unfeeling and the pity of the good,
We were forcibly struck with those re-
Elections the other evening, while passing
along Sd street, and for moment pausing
to listen to the---of the county
displaying his eloqucnce in the use of Ian
guage that no gentleman in his sober mo-
meuts would employ at public auction,
in the presence of promiscuous assem-
bly,, of ladies gentlemen and boys. For
the sake of the morals of commnnity-if
from no other consideration, we feel glad
that his time is short.

But Andy says: "Give us war, pesti-
lence, famine-any thing but that" Any
thing but what? Why simply that the
American people should take the manage
ment Of the Government Of their own
country into their own hands. This is
the thing that lie more to be deprecated
in .he estimation Of the Editor of the
Union than "war," &c. We suppose CIV
il war to be meant by the expression, for
the Editor of that paper has been labor
ing for months past to in6ame the passions
of foreigners against native-boru citizens,
and if possible to induce them to deeds of
violence.
Our toreign.born citizens should look
calmly at this matter, and when the time
shall arrive for them to exercise their rights
as adopted citizens, they should do 50 fear
lessly bu: respectfully. Should the Cath
olic foreigners be influenced by corrupt
demagogues to kick up row-for there is
no danger from any other class of foreign
ers-the very man who has been trying
to excite them to desperate deeds, is the
man who would sneak from the contest
and secure the safety of his own bacon.
The author Of the above extract is not the
true friend of the Catholic portion of our
population he merely desires to use them
for the purpose of gratifying his personal
hostility towards the American party.
When the wrath of the red man is fairly
aroused nothing will appease him but re-
vengc-hc purSues his foe with unrelent-
ing malice. Such has been the course of
the Hon. A. Stuart towards the American
party of this Congressional District. The
cause of this is we'll known to all, and it
needs no comment. One thing is quite
clear, that it is not because he loves the
Catholics, but rather because he loves him
self, and wanted to go back to Washing
ton-but the people said no, and he can
not go.

4 NICE TRICK.-The "Steubenville
Union," Gen. Pugh & Co. have been en-
deavoring, by insinuation, they dare not
do it plainly, for fear of frightening the
rank and file of the party led by them
to get among the Know Nothings the I'M
preston that Gov. Medill belongs to their
order. The Union says the Governor
"pledged his personal honor and veracity
for the correctness" of oaths of the Know
Nothings read by him. Pugh naively ap-
pealed to the Governor in his speech, for
attestation. Thus would they do by i'm
plication, what they dare not do openly.
But, unfortunately Cor them, such evidence
will not do. Nobody believes what the
Union publishes about such matters, Know
Nothings will not thus be deceived. The
secret society Gov. Medill belongs to, is Of
the democratic leaders, to which he said
the Know NothingS sometimes got into,
and then exposed their doings. Such
tricks wont elect Gov. Medill.

The Secretly Managed Party.

In his speech delivered here on the LIST
inst, Gov. Medill objected to the Know
Nothings, that not being known as SUCH
they would, upon solicitation, enter dem
ocratic caucases, and afterwards diyulge
the scheme adopted for furthering the OBJ
jccts of the leaders. So it appears that
Gov. Medills democrat PARTY HOLD Sc
cRET MEETINGS. One striking difference
however between democratic secret meet
ings, and those of the Know Nothings is,
that the first is composed only Of the office
holders, and wire pullers seeking office,
while the Know Nothing secret meeting
is composed of the mass of the people

ATTEND TO THE LEGI,LATURE.-On
the Legislature of Ohio, which will meet
next winter, will devolve the election of a
United States Senator, in place of Mr.,
Wade. In view of this, it is highly i'm
portant that Representatives should be
elected, from each district, who will vote
only for man who is thoroughly opposed
to the present Administratiou-its anti
American and anti-Republican principles
and measures. Because of their identity
with the national administration party, il
for no other good reason, should the nom.
inees of the bunker Democracy of this
county be defeated. Of Mr.. Jones, We
have good reason to know that his vote
would be cast for decided pro-slaver!
administration man, for U S. Senate. Hi.
vote to elect such man as Geo. L. Pugh
is sufficient evidence, that if in like po
sitOn, he would vote for like man. l
is therefore vastly important, in the pres
ent crisis, that the nominees Of the hun
ker democracy be defeated, and that Cat
tell, MCurdy and Mcndenhall be trium
phantly elected.
