an order organized to restrain Foreigners and
Papists, has employed both to wage sectional
war against our own Protestant fellow citizens.
We copy from the Times an admirable article
upon the Importance of the next Presidential
election. Coming from quarter in which the
magnitude of the issues might not be supposed
so imminent as elsewhere, we hail tho article
with pleasure. II is an evidence That just
appreciation Of the danger which surrounds us
exists in a powerful and influential quarter,
and that true hearts and sagacious minds may
be relied on in the hour Of peril, TO defend the
integrity Of the Union and the American Order.

The approaching Presidential Election,
and the slavery QnestiOn-UniOn or Dis
uniOn-Which shall 1t bet
The Presidential election OF 1856 will be the
great crisis of the Federal Constitution on the
slavery question It will be the first positive, de-
finite. and direct sectional issue between the two
revolutionary extremes of the abolition of slavery
or the dissolution of the Union and it may be
the final struggle between the Abolition and Free
soil Holy Alliance ofthe North, and the supporters
of those compacts concessions and compromises
of the constitution upon which this great and
Hourishng Union of sovereign Republican states
was established.
All other questions, all other distractions or
practical measures of public policy, will be sunk in
this impending sectional and fanatcal collision
upon the slavery question; and the exigency WIZ
require the union of the conservatives OF both
sections and of all parties to prevent violent
- asracf atrte IF sol
ever erected in the annals of mankind.
Reduced to its simplest form, the great issue Of
1856 will be union. or disunion-the continued
peace and prosperity Of these States under the
same general organic law, or their separation into
two or three Independent confcderacies, with all
the revolutionary and anarchical accessories OF the
feeble and disorganzed military republics OF South
America. After the experience which we have
had In the preliminary skirmishes between slavery
and anti slavery in 1920, 1914, 1850, and 1854 we
know that our Southern or sayeholding States
have arrived at that point where, If they cannot
be guaranteed the protection of the compacts and
compromises of the federal constitution, they are
prepared to risk the chances OF secession, dlsu-
MON, and separate Southern contedeiacy We
know, too, that in the Northern anti-slavery pro-
granme for 1856, there are several direct issues
which comprehend the immediate provocation to
secession-such for example, as the restoration
Of the Missouri black line, by starving the United
States Senate into submission the rejection OF
Kaneas, If she shall apply honestly or dishonest
w. for admission into the Union as slave State
the application of the Wilmot provso against slave
nv TO all the Territories; the repeal of the fugitive
slave law and the abolition OF slavery in the iede-
raj District ofColumbia.
ANY one or two of these propositions, II carried
out by Northern anti-slayery administration, ana
the power of an overwhelming Northern majority
in the popular branch of Congress- will be sufficient
to cut the golden cords which bind the North and
South together, and launch us upon that stormy
sea of dsunion, civil wars, revolutions and cleo
lions by the bayonet, in which our Spanish-Amer-
lean sisterhood have been drifting at the mercy OF
the winds and waves for the last quarter OF cen
tury And the plan Of the Northern Holy Alliance
compartments an anttslavery administration. and
such House of Representatives as VIII De abe 70
starve the conservatives Of the Senate into capit
uation at the risk of the suspension Of sll supplies
for the support Of the government. The alliance
boast that they have the House already secured
that they have only to elect their President--that
their plans are matured for this achievement; and
that when il is accomplished there shall be no
more slave States-no Fugitive Slave Law; that
the Missouri black line shall be restored; that
slaverr shah be nterdcted in all the Territories,
and abolished In the District of Columbia; or, IL
the Senate Is intractable that the functions of the
government shall be stopped, by the suspension OF
the supplies necessary TO keep It's wheels in motion.
Give, then, this anti-slavery coalition the next
administration, and IL is apparent, whether they
succeed or fail in their measures for the humila-
ton Of the South that the federal government
will be suspended and destroyed in the collision
between the two sections In Congress-for the
submission of the South to this proposed expert
ment Of dragooning by the abolition alliance Is
utterly impossible II Is plain then, that the con-
trolling and absorbing issue in the campaign of
1856 will be the slavery question; that all the
great financial political, commercial, agricultural,
and manufacturing interests Of the country will
be swallowed up In the slavery agitation and that
the results Of the election viii involve the ultimate
issue Of Union or q dissolution Of the Union, and
nothing less.
And what party have we In the field competent
TO resist this Northen autslavery combination for
the Presidency II Is not the Democratic party,
for il appears TO be hopelessy distracted and div-
ded, North and South Il is not the Wing party
for IL is dead and buried nor is 1t the general
Northern Know.Nothing organization, for II Is
strongly tnctured and fused, here and there, with
the negro coalitionsts Yet We have the nucleus
Of a great national conservative party upon the
slavery question: represented at Philadelphia by
the new American Order Of New York and the
South, in the conservative platform upon this iden.
teal question Of slavery. This party however,
with all the pruning and trimming which i has re-
ceived win need much more TO render IL available
for the national battle OF sc. Still we have our
hopes that from this nucleus victorious and prac-
teal American party may be organized and estab-
lished within the year before US.
We have our hopes and we have our fears. The
meeting of the new Congress in December, will be
followed by food Of light upon the subject. In
the interval the pith Of the controversy is limited
to the border rufians" Of Kansas and the yclp-
ing fanatics OF the Seward Holy Alliance. Wemnst
await the lifting OF the curtain before we can de-
terminc exactly the grouping Of the tableaux. We
only know now that the contest OF 1856 will be
union or disunion, and that the disunion party Is
formidable, boastful, and defiant, and first in the
field.
FRAScE TO JoIN DENMARK AGAINST THE USIrrD
to Paris correspondent of
the New York Tribune, Whose statement we give
for what It is worth,) the French Emperor has
promised Denmark assistance in case the United
States insists upon establishing the Sound Dues.
This promise, however, il IS said, is made upon
the condition Of Denmark joining the Western
Alliance AGAINST Russia II she accepts that prop
