From the Ner York lvenlng Posi-.
The prospects Of Republicnnism.

/
Republican party havo its prospects been
so cheering as at present. AT no time
have indications been so abundant. In Mis-
sour, to the surprise Of every one, We have
obtained great victory. 1t maybe that by
"amending the returns" practice Of which
we have had some experience in this city,
Rollins may be ciphered out, bnt the men
who voted for him remain, and every day
that his competitor remains in Office, their
numbers will increase. Missouri can no
longer be regarded as an administration
state, and upon the emancipation issue she
is nearly as certain as Massachusetts to vote
for the Republican candidate in 1860. Tho
late canvass has established two active cur
rents of emigration in the State-one, of
negroes out of il, and another Of free labor
crs into it-and it is difficult to say which
is doing most to aid the Republican cause.
/ Missouri is moro interested in making Kan
sas slave state, of course, than any other
state can be, if slavery is favorable to the
prosperity of Kansas. If it is unfavorable,
She is moro interested than any other to
make it free sratc. The vote she has just
cast for Rollins in the face of new admin
istration, just organized, and with nearly all
its patronage yet TO he disposed Of, shows
that her people haye pretty decided pref
erence for making both Kansas and Missouri
free states, and leaves bu, little room for
doubt that Missouri will be Republican
State at the next Presidential election.
In California we are startled by demon
stratious equally significant. All the oppo-
r sition parties have united there, as in St.
Louis, against the Administration, in a
. common resistance to slavery propagandism,
and they have selected as their candidate
+ for Governor, man who, but few years
! ago, was the acknowledged leader Of his par
ty in Congress- and the representative of a
. = slave State. Mr. Stanley has been but a
9 few years in California, and during his resi-
Q dence there has taken no very active part
!, in politics. He has, however, never dis
guiscd his preference for free to slave labor;
Q and when in this city last summer, was heard
y to express quite frequently, his preference
for Fremont over either of the other candi.
. dates for the Presidency.
. The prospects ofStanlcy's election are gen
y y orally regarded as good. When the route
20 selected by the administration for the wagoT
u road to the Pacific, and tho Influences tha
led to it, come to be known there, they vii
% be better.
90 In PENNSYLVANIA. too we witness wha
S 90 five years ago would have been deemed in
: credible; the whole opposition from tn
oo State from which the country has just SC
90 lected pro-slavery President, united j
SS OS support of David Wilmot for Governor
90 The mere nomination Of such man as Wi
90 mot, with his history and opinions, in Penn
90 90 sylvania shows that the labor spent upo
90 that state last summer and fall was nc
90 wasted, and that before another Presider
90 tial Election, she too WILL in all probability
co be enrolled among the Republican States.
90 In Ohio, Governor Chase is again n
s. nominated without opposition, SO muc
more completely than any ono else does b
90 reflect the sentiments Of her people upo
90 public questions. His administration hi
60 60 extingushed the American, as an indopenc
90 90 cnt party, so wisely and generously has
90 conducted himself; and his renominatic
'n' is almost equivalent to a reelection. A
Il most cotemporaneous with Governor Chase
ma denomination is the detection ofJudge Wa
ma ma den from the ranks of the Administrator
ma He had been solicited to accept the nor
ination of the pro-slavcry party for the Sta
90 Senate. He declined, thinking he cou
aoO 90 strike moro effectual blow for FREQ print
90 pies by supporting tho Republican ticket.
