We have given our views at length As to
the probable future Of parties. We see no
occasion 70 change our opiaioss- The Re-
palisan party occupies the position Of sntAg-
eaisa - Slavery extension and Ostendism.
II il the railyinE point, the nucleus around
which eli the opposition mast gather, the pow
u and the party that mast absorb and COM
bias oil the slsnents Of opposition to the ad-
ministration pledged to carry out these pes
tilsas ideas. And to that party others must
come, for il il strong and they are weak; il
= mighty and they are insigni6eant. We
cay nos this tauntinly and triumphantly, but
stase ii siunly IS matter OF fact, self-ap-
psssat, which no one will dispute, or can
feel it concession or reimbursement to deny,
With It others must coalesee, and will coa-
lesce without compromise Of feeling, but in |
natual good and earnest spirit. to accomp-
lish common object which the times will |
make clear TO the apprehension Of every man,
bowsvsr mach he may have been misled or
iaslinsd to doabt during the campaign just
closed.
Amosg usny indications con6rmatorv Of
this, the following from the Buffalo CONNER
cial Advertiser, Me-. Fillmore's home organ,
10 the most significant that has fallen under
our observation:
"lf Kansas be made a slave state by Execu-
tive in.erfercnce-if Walker 10 to be aided
in order to make Nicaragua basis Of ope-
rations for the acquisition Of Cuba. and thus
carry out the doctrines OF the Ostend Circu-
lar, which Mr. Buchanan was the first to sign
Iii this programme il to be followed out,
then nothing is more certain than the CON-
plete consolidation of the American and
Republican parties into a compact OPPOSE

TELEoRArH TO Eusork.-W Wires are now
strung and laid as far from New York ms st.
Johns, Newfoun tland, u distance Of LIS
miles. From thence to Galway, Ireland, is
1900 miles. Prof. Morse and Cyrus W.
Field are now in England making arrange
ments for laying cable between those two
points, and completing the connection be-
tween New York and London, and SO be-
tween America and the British and contin.
entail systems. A company has been formed
in England, under the auspieces of Mr.. Field
and Sir John w. Brett, and the great En-
glish engineers, Stephenson and Brunei, have
both given their opinions in favor OF its fea-
sibiiity, Offering to take stock in the enterprise
~ an earnest of their opinions. The stock
has all been guaranteed, but the Company
have decided to divide it between the leading
European capitals, for the purpose of sccur-
ing ~ wide an interest as possible. One OF
the Rothschilds has minated willingness
to take the whole amount allotted to tho con-
tincnt, in case there is difficulty in disposiny
or it. II is intended that during the next
summer the line shall be complete And
most likely twill be. So that in one year
hence, we shall very likely be publishing dali
ly dispatches from London, and it will be
possible to send dispatch, in few min
uses time, all the way from Russia to Iowa.

CHICAGO TO ErRoPE.--There seems to be
certainty that Chicago is destined to do a
large commercial business with Europe d.
rect, via the St. Lawrence River The Dean
Richmond schooner At last accounts was IT,
ing in IN English dock, having taken 400
tons Of grain through without breaking bulk.
And We see in the Chicago Tribune OF the 18th
two vessels advertised for to take freigh, to
Europe, one to clear for the Spanish coast with
acsrgo OF lumber, returning with fruit and
VINE, and the other TO load for the United
Kingdom. This is but the opening of an
immense future trade. The London Times,
approved BY other London papers, thinks
that immediate steps should be taken to open
the channel OF commerce as widely and make
it ~ available IS possible up the St. Law
renee into the interior OF the American con-
tinsnt. 1t would be great extension Of the
line Of direct trade, and an immense ccopo.
my to both continents.
cTMllard Fillmore was born in the town
OF Genoa, Cayuga county, N. Y. The Pres
idential vote Of that town stands out in the
Canvass thus: Fremont AGO, Buchanan e.,
Fillmore %.
This is no reprobation OF Mr.. Fillmore in
disidually. In his native town, and in the
CITY OF his residence, as man he is esteem
si,-beloved. But his political course, the
attitude he assumed, the sentimen, he repre-
sented, caused his native town, that would
have been glad to have seen new honors, and
the highest honors, done to her son, to re-
bake him in the most sigma and emphatic
manner. Fillmore, the man, is respected.
