~ vi eiiS save population. Inc
negroes manifested an unusual interest in the
result and attended the political meetings Of
the whites IN large numbers 1t was not
what the friends Of Fremont advocated which
has produced this effect for it is well known
that no Fremont meetings have been allowed
IN that section. But the Democratic orators
have drawn very vivid pictures of the hor-
rors which, they alleged, would result from
The election OF Fremont the insecurity of
slave property, &c. The "chattels' have ears
into which these remarks have found admis-
slea, and they have probably, been talked
over on the plantations, until the slaves have
been led to hope that their slavery would not
endure forever. For this, Shareholders have
only to blame themselves. If they will re-
open, or countenance the re-openng of the
slavery question, and wage 50 bitter war
upon those at the North who desire to main.
tain the compromises intack-if they will
and abuse those who simply OPP
pose the erteusion of slavery, shey must ex.
pect to reap the natural consequences.
SecTIoNALsM.-The standing committees of
the Senate have been appointed. MOI a single
Senator representing the general sentiment of
the North on the great question of the day has
been appointed on one important committee.-
The party which carried all New England
New York, Ohio Iowa, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, which nearely divided Pennsylvania and In
diana and Illinois, has no representative on The
chief committees --not one. This party is rep
resented by some of the abest, most experienced
and most Intelligent members of Senate. 1t con-
sttutes the poa erful minority in the legislative
branch of the government. Always heretofore
that minority has been assigned place on the
COMMITTEES, corresponding in some degree with
its strength and Importance. Now, for the first
time in the history Of the government, the min
GRITTY has been entirely Ignored. And the party
that does this, that gives all the committees to
the Senators pledged to sectional interest Of the
South, charges the neglected party with section
alism !-Prouidence Journal

tined TO effect an entire revolution in the betting
world.
