The BALLOT Box on TRIAL-Nothino
else is talked about but affairs in Washing.
ton and Kansas. Event succeeds event, de.
veIopment follows development; and each
telegrapiic message from the two seats of
war adds fuel to the flame of popular excite.
ment, and, we must add, popular resentment
Most fortunate it is that the political conven.
tions are just now assembling; for by them
the fury of parties will find expression, and
to express wrath is to nllay it,
The balot.box will soon be put to the
severest test it has ever known. We are in
our worst scrape. If the ballot.box enables
us to weather this storm, we need fear no
other. IL need fear no other. Its reign
will thenceforth be secure, and all the ma
tions will put their trust 10 it. If it should
fail us now, if the peoples vote next No.
vember should not deliver us from perils
present and impending, then farewell for
many year to Freedom! Think of this, all
you who have the right to vote. Not to be
politician now, is to be traitor. II is not
measure or party that is at stake, but the
perpetuity of free institutions and the su.
premacy of civilization.

The OEE GREAT IssUE.-The New York
Mirror, Col. Fuller's paper, and one among
the few northern journals always national
and sound in its views and policy. deprecates
the bad feeling at present existing in the two
sections Of the Union, and expresses the
opinion that the contest will be, not between
factions but between sections, between the
North and the South. 1t says:
"Politics will have little to do with the
coming contest for the Presidency. The
great issue, we regret 10 perceive, will be n
strictly sectional one: and the great fight is
, to be, not between Wings and Democrats, or
between partisans of any other name; but
simply between the North and South. The
question of Slavery, like Aaron's Serpent,
has swallowed up all minor differences; and
the banners Of party, instead of emblazon.
ing the principles and mottos of political
creeds, will present merely the Black and
White ensigns of the Slavery and antislave.
ry atmies. The sister States of the Confed

they will meet at the Mason g. Dixon's divi.

in ore-a united people; but many in t,ro, n
disunited Republic. This is sad confession;
and the coming strifes will present sadder
spectacle. The repeal of the Missouri Com.
promise, we cannot but regard, ms the cause
OF all the trouble. The great Pacific Mea.
