The Political Horoscope.

The Charleston Mercury has been cast
ing the horoscope of the South, looking for
ward as far as 1864, and is exceedingly sad
at the prospect. Hear how it means:
In 1860 another enumeration will be
made Of the population of the country, and
its results will determine the Federal rep
resentation of the State and tho political
power of sections. The election of 1864
will occur under that distribution of the
electoral vote, and what will be tho issue
Unhappily, we are not allowed TO amuse
ourselves with deceitful auguries of success.
For years the political control of the confed-
eracy has been escaping from the hands Of
the South, and rapidly accumulating in the
States of the North. AS the South sinks
in the scale ofpower, abolitionism is aggran-
died at the expense of slavery, and must
soon attain supreme and irresistible as
ceudency. In 1854 the North DiW elect its
President an defiance of the united opposi-
ton of the slaveholding States.
The South can no more recover its an
cient asccndency in the confedertion, than
weak can subdue and master the strong or
power release its grasp from the victim
whose oppression feeds its lustful appetite.
The unequal and unjust polich on the part
of the Federal Government, and the same
combination of circumstances which have
reduced the South to its present state of de-
pendency, and elevated the North from its
original inferiority TO triumpant domina-
ton, will aggravate tho disparity of power
between the sections, until one becomes the
helpless slave of the other

The Herald makes a great flourish over
tho following allcdged special dispatch from
Washington: By
"Governor Walkers programme is to al
low tho Pro-Slavery party to go on and
frame their Slave State Constitution; 10
allow the Free State party, Mt the same time,
TO hold as many Conventions and pass as
many Indignation resolutions rs they please
and to throw all the proceedings Of both
parties into the next Congress, with splen-
did manifesto in behalf of his new compro-
mise. And what is that9 The simple
scheme Of giving the lions share of Kansas
as now organized, TO the Free-State party,
for Free State, and of forming the bound
aries of now Slave State, by adding n
small slice of Southern Kansas, and large
slice from tho splendid Indian country south
of IL; the Slave State and the Free State tc
come into the Union together. BY this ar.
rangemcnt, it is supposed that both Pro.
Slavery and Free-State politicians, in get
ting tho Congressman and other spoils of a
new State, will be satisfied, and that the
spectators in lands, town lots, settlers and
niggers will also be satisfied; and, above
all that great treaty of peace will follow
between the North and the South This
is the real plan of Gov, Walker. Tho other
plan of abiding by tho Territorial laws and
of sustaining the rights of the people, &c,
is only the tub thrown out to amuso the
whale and the gudgeons.

wisconsin Election.

Wisconsin and Michigan have most nobly
set examples for the Free States, in their
elections. Michigan nearly comes up to
her grand Republican majority Of last
fall, and Wisconsin, on light vote, has
oven done better. Tho official returns give
Mr.. Wilton, for Chief Justice, a majority of
1880! The majority for Fremont last fall
was 12,23l. Mr.. Wilton is not only an
able but an upright Judge, and the people
of the State have most thoroughly endorsed
his decision on the infamous Fugitive Slave
law, when the attempt was made to enforce
its odious provisions in Wisconsin.

The Buffalo Republic, in noticing the
opinion of Judge BRINKERHoFF, give in the
recent slave case decided by the Supreme
Court of Ohio, well says:
Judge Brinkerhof, who, by the way, is an
old fashioned democrat, formerly demo-
cratic member Of Congress, is entitled to
high commendation for his bold, admira-
Bile and patriotic decision on this great ques-
ton of human rights. Ohio will henceforth
occupy proud position on the record. II

re- The Vicksburp Sentinel of Ma

ES- The Vicksburg Sentinel of May I'd,
suggests to the planters that it will be ex-
pedient to adopt such measures as will "pre-
vent the importation of slaves from the
border States. The Sentinel says:
If our planters and traders will positively
refuse to buy slaves imported from Maryland
Virginia, Missouri and kentucky, md the
importation from those States can be easily
ascertained, the people of the Southern bor-
der States will, in defence of their property,
armed to the teeth resist moro vigorously
and more zealously the encroachmcnts Of
the Free Soilers and Aboltionists be more
firmly and indissolubly bound to the less
exposed Southern States, and in such union
give the entire South greater strength
Should this course be pursued, the South
may wait till Cuba and Central America,
like ripened peaches, fall into her lap; but,
otherwise, in a few years slavery will have
disappeared from Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky and Missouri, and crowded into moro
Southern territory, and as those States
become FREQ Soil so may the new border
States apprchend like result, the suprema
cy of FREQ Soilism in their territory.
Similar views are prevailing Throughout
the extreme Southern States. Yet the plal
suggested is impracticable. Those wh'
have slaves to sell, will take them wher
there is demand for them. The prohibi
ton of the interstate slave trade is impossi
bic, and the process of the encroachments o
free soil must become more rapid and man
ifest with the lapse of time.

A WORK TO ne DONE.

Tho great work Of restoring the Govern.
ment to its first principles is committed to
this generation. A class Of men have aris-
on among us who scout tho naturul equali-
ty Of mankind, who do not believe in equal
laws, who think that human bondage can
be extended under the Federal Constitution
These pestilent heresics must be eradicated.
Slavery must be confined to its present
bounds. This work is to be done, and the
men TO do it will assuredly be found. The
Republican party has undertaken it. If
they fail, others will be found to do it,
Democracy need take no comfort in the
thought that the Republican party is disor-
ganized. 1t never was organized. 1t nov
err can be. But the moment it is seen to lag
in the great work Of making freedom the
law that controls the general government,
the men who have given it all its power will
desert it at once. They will find another
way to do the work which must be donc.-
Deep down in the hearts of the people there
is fixed and immovable determination to
DO rid Of the domination of Shareholders
to mako every foot of our national soil the
home Of free men. The people will do it

More beauties Of the seInstitution.,

Another disgraceful affair, the legitimate
offspring of slavery, took place at Louisville
Kentucky, on the evening of tho l4th inst.
-Four negroes who had been arrested, tried
and acquitted, on n charge of numbering the
Joice family, were, by the infuriated mob,
taken from the Jail by force, and three of
them hung, and large fires built under them
while suspended under the gallows. The
fourth negro having got possession of ra-
zor cut his own throat from ear to car, thus
depriving the mob of the exquisite satisfac-
tion of wreaking their Vengeance in their pc
culiar and admirable Ito them) style.
Hero is another opportunity for the edi-
tor Of tho Messenger to display his largo
type, and show to his readers the glorious
workings of this truly Democratic insttu-
ton.

With q view to tho convenience of pur-
chasers Of trust lands in Kansas, at the ap-
preaching Juno and July sales, the Treasury
Department has made arrangements by
which parties in New York, Philadelphia,
or any other points of the Atlantic shore,
may deposit money in sums of any amount
with the Treasurer, whose checks or transfer
drafts may be transmitted TO Kansas, and
be received by the Agent as cash. The
Secretary of the Treasury has directed the
Treasurer to send to tho Assistant Treasurer
at ST. Louis, fifty transfer drafts for $4,000
each, which, with those of larger sums now
on hand, will be sufficient to meet all possi-
BILE demands.
