Political Tendencies.

Ttere never was q period when the
Democratic party was in more danger of
distraction than at the present time and
its danger arises from the very question
which destroyed the Wing and Amer
lean parties. The South has been en-
couraged to believe, by the course cf the
Democracy North, that it can make the
General Government, in fact and in truth
the instrument through which slavery is
to be extended and pcrpetuated. Nor
thcrn Democrats have sustained, as far
as they dared, all the aggressive move
ments of the Southern extremists, but
they nominated Mr.. Buchanan as a
moderate man, asd they most heartily
dislike to sec him driven into the policy
which ruined Pierce. On either size
there now opens a chasm If they re-
fuse to accede to the demands of the
Democracy in that quarter; and if they
yield to its dictation they viii lose even
the few States they have retained at the
North. In the meantime the principles
ofthe Republican party are becoming be.
ter understood, and the necessity of the
organization more fally defined Men of
conservative tendencies no longer fear i.
for virtually it has the control of the
whole North for two years. 1t has shown
its ability for governing great States, for
developing their wealth and resources,
and for demonstrating that its policy will
never tend to disorganizat,on, or to the
weakening of the bonds of the Union
Thus while the Democratic party is be-
ing weakened and destroyed, because it
is founded on error and wrong, the Re-
publican party is gaining strength
through the Righteousness of its prin-
ciples. Let US look forward with conf
dence to the period when the supremacy
of this party will give new vigor to the
institutions Of the land -.Newarke Hr-

Ant.Slayery journals in Slave States.
Great interest cannot but be felt through
out tn. free States in the character and
growth of the new movement for free h.
Dor against slave labor in the border
slave States Missouri, Kentucky and Vir-
ginia have each made beginning to-
wards ancipation each have their sla-
very, and which, alike as matter of in
terest and which, as point Of policy,
should be assisted by large circulation
in the free States The Missouri, Den-
ocrat at St. Louis, has more than doub-
led its circulation since it espoused the
interests Of free white labor, and is more
than .elf-sustained it has found its prof
it in its new course. The st Louis In
teiligeacer also, an able and influentia pa
per, if not thoroughly enlisted in the
emancipation cause, has always been hos
tile to the Border Rafhans, and the An
aeiger Of the same city, one of the largest
and ablest German papers in the Union,
is leading expotent Of the Free State
sentiment Of Missouri
In Kentucky, the Newport INecs and
in Virginia, the Wheeling In,eiiigencer,
both published daily as well As weekly,
are no less avowed opponents of the same
policy as regard their States; and though
we believe, sustained by their business,
are not SO prosperous as their st. Louis
associate, both because they are located
at much smaller places, and because the
new movement has not advanced SO far
in their States as in Missouri. People
everywhere who are interested to watch
the secrets and the progress Of the eff
forts towards new policy in these slave
States, will find no better opponents than
these journals we have named Their
circulation at the North would be of great
usefulness, in teaching its citizens how
icy should act So az to be of the most
effective service in the grand national
political policy.-Chi. Tribune.
