A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION PREDICTED.

The following ftighul description Of gathering storm
Is from the editorial leader in the New York Tribune Of
Saturday last
II be confessed that the horizon and that mat
the entire sky Of the late democracnow compromise
breaking slavery extending border anti free speech
antfree press notification and dsunon party-s exceed
ingy leaden and gloomy Sorrowfu mists and sweeping
clouds obscure both the eastern and western heavens
Whether we look Pennsylvania New Hampshire il
IL all the same, while tremendous thunder cloud moving
from the North l. wckedy darting forth the long
lghtnngs and whose mutterng continuous roll OF distant
thunder grows every day louder and louder and
soon-say about the middle Of November envelope
the zenith and that with such storm has not been known
for half century and fall Of rain heavy enough to drown
out all the old official rats, we'll The young expecan
ones who have themselves look upon the Cap

ment, at Washngton-not to mention the General Post
Office and the other national establishments Of that cya
having been erected mainly for their sheer-aDd to afford
them lifelong comfortable nibblings."
What can be Tin the wind now2 A Storm political
storm-wth "a tremendous thunder cloud "darng forth
the ong-pentup Lightning" with 'mutterng continuous
roll of thunder ito envelope the zenith land fall Of
rain heavy enough to drown out all the rats But Mr.
Greeley is so gracious TO tell the old ladies in black
repubcandom when this terrible storm is TO sweep over
the oouniry-aabout the middle Of November"-and Of
course about two weeks after Buchanan is elected Pres
dent We have itl-the Tribune means that "about the
middle Of November Gen. James Watson Webb win COM
his march against tho South in ful6ment Of his
pledge at the Philadelphia convention that Il the people
refused to elect Fremont he would head an army and
conquer freedom with his valiant sword or course the
Tribune does expect such storm be raised without
the help Of Lane Burlingame and sumnsrall Of whom

BUCHANAN AND FREMONT.

comparison between the democratic and black-repub-
lcan candidates for the presidency thus drawn by
respondent Of the New Haven Register
Among all the rival candidates who have been run for
President Of country there have been whose differ
in qualifications has been great between Mr. Blu
ehanan and Mr.. Fremont. The former OF admitted
talents craftsmanship integrity, and experience, intimate
lar with legislative and executive functions admirably fitted
for the times and his antecedcnts give full that
he will exert his administrative influence to preserve our
Union and constitution and continue the peace and
perity Of country The latter young Of respecs
bic talents explorer but with only twenty days Of legs-
ave experience has executive experience challenged
brother senator to duel for words spoken in debate
been concerned with two duels has been
and found guilty Of nsubordnation, has trumped up
Of than eight hundred thousand dollars which
have not been allowed"
Again
The great misfortune Of Mr.. Fremones election would
be that being wholly disqualified for the station be would be
dependent others for advice and would not know whether
the advice given right wrong Falling into dangerous
hands he would be at the mercy Of reckless demagogues
Can 1t be possible but what majority Of the people win pre-
fer Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Fremont Only think OF party
whose chief ugers would be like George Law Colonel
Webb, Greeley, Co., and whose chapains and spiritual
guides would be Theodore Parker and Ward Beecher In
those days citizens would realize the words Of Scripture
His adversaros theohef his enemies prosper for the
Lord hath afflicted her her children have gone into espv
~ before the enemy"
