WHAT'S IN THE WIND.

Several numbers of the Tribune lately issued
we're decent. Is Mr.. Greeley i'll and like to die,
and the prickings of conscience at work. Or
is the Dragon of the concern at the springs, or
married?
What the deuce has produced this Pickering
symptom of reformation?
Is he trying to put on the semblance of pro-
priety, in anticipation of occupying the State
Department? or has he assigned the scaven-
gers vocation to Beecher, Parker, and other
reverends, as being better qualified?
Whatever the cause, the character of some
of the late Tribune numbers contrast so
strangely with its usual ferocity, slang and Bill
lingsgate that no one would suppose the paper
to be the Tribune but for the heading so in
formaing the reader; may the change con-
tinue until reform is complete.

jority in both branches of Congress and it
would be impossible to pass any act Of real in.
jury or injustice to the North.
Mr.. BUCHANAN is northern man. having
all his life the confidence not only of his immey
date constituency, but Of the North at large.
He gives his assurance, that his election will
be the harbinger of four years peace, and
from no other quarter have you any such re-
liable assurance
The South aware of the well earned conf
dence which Mr.. BUCHANAN enjoys at the
North, and being itself in earnest in its pur-
pose, to make no movement whatever in re-
gard to slavery, have selected Mr.. BUCHANAN
as their nominee, that in presenting him a
northern man, with national sentiments, the
South gives to the North the very best guarantee
of its purpose to avoid all action, all excitement
on this question, and they have allowed Mr.
BUCHANAN to commit them, as well as himself
to this course.
By the election, therefore, Of Mr. BUCHANAN
the North and country at large have the very
discords now raging will find no fuel under his
administration, and that no governmental ac-
ton will take place 10 give rise to further ex.
element.
By the success of no other party is there
any assurance of peace.
At any time when the North shall see cause
to apprehend injustice to itself, it holds the
power to remedy it in its own hands. 1t needs
no excitement to vindicate its wrongs, real or
fancied-it has only to will it and it is done
The northern mind has been unduly and
unnecessarily excited by the artful appeals of
corrupt and proaigate men, and the decisions
arising from false statements.
The South has to rely, in great degree
upon the good sense and good feeling of the
North, not to exercise its power aggressivey
or unjusty; it has no power to exact from the
North against its will. But the North has the
power to exact from the South against its will,
which has no defence except the Constitution
and the sense Of right in the heart of the North
itself
All these reasons should tend to disarm the
North of all excitement, and to elect states
man who, to every other qualification suited to
the Presidency, will hold the even scales of
justice between the North and the South on
the very plummet Of the Constitution, insuring
peace and harmony. He is the only candidate
who represents every State in the Uaion, and
who will have electoral tickets in every State !;
he is, in word, the only candidate having the
odor and semblance Of nationality. Elect him,
and every mind will feel at ease, and all the
varied interests of the country will be relieved
from injurious and threatening dangers.

dissolution of this glorious Confederacy oil

Reso'red, That in view Of the present divided

the only hope of defeating the Vaccinations OF

TO THE CALM AND UNPREJUDIcED.

Mr.. BUCHANAN, in his letter Of acceptance,
truly says: "That the agitation Of slavery has
been productive Of good to no human being I;
that on the contrary, the whole history of
slavery agitation, is record of unmixed evil,
even to the jeopardy Of the Union that il has
produced most unhappy alienation Of feeling
between the different sections Of the country /;
and that TO his own personal knowledge, the
effect Of this agitation has been to inspire, in
monarchical countries, the belief and the hope
that dissolution and the downfall OF the Repub.
lie will be the consequences" The previous
history Of this slavery agitation and the bitter.
ness and animosity which attend the present
excitement, induced Mr.. BUCHANAN to give
this subject marked prominency in his letter
of acceptance, where in view OF all these evils
past, present, and threatened he make. a
solemn declaration and assurance. that 40 far
as lies within the constitutional influence Of tho
Executive, he will exert it to keep down the
agitation Of this subject.
To do this effectually he will discountenance
all legislation on the subject and without legis.
lation, agitation must cease.
10 all northern, sound thinking and patri-
otto men, this determined purpose Of Mr.. Blu.
cHASAS must strongly recommend itself, in
contrast with the wild excitement forshadowed
from the success Of the Republican ticket
II no legislation be attempted, then the
North will know that no distasefu enactment
can take place. Besides the North has a ma

The Albany New York; Argus says:
Whatever doubt may at any time have
existed, none now remains that the two con-
yentions to be held on the 30th instant will
result in complete reunion of the party.
The failure of the State committees to agree
disappointed the Democracy Of the State, and
for little time checked the rising enthusiasm
of our political friends. But the tide was too
strong to be stayed by any such obstacle, and
has swept on through the primary meetings Of
the people, and will bring together conventions
whose leading aim will be to consolidate the
party and ensure the electoral vote of the State
to Buchanan and Breckenridge"
The New York Day Book makes predic-
ton as to the result in that State. 1t says:
Now we put on record the following pre-
diction. Cut it out, reader, and put it in your
wallet:
Buchanan will poll in this State 225, 900 votes.
