the promise Of t cay shall bs fulfilled to morrow,
We are at the dawn of Anew era in our history
at the beginning of most moment US political con-
test The remarks Of Mr. DJugiss in the Senate
&c day are almost universally considered decisive Of
his uln ate secession from the Administration AID
from the South. The southern Senator's Mason
al Davis plainly showed that thy so considered
it, BY their tore and manoer. Southern Senator
eoperatulstsd General Wilson on the a,ce's sion Of
Mr. Douglas to the Republican party: "You have
got new leader, ho will lead you to the devil a.
h, has led ur." Tais was clearly . confession Of
feet which every year viii make more couspcOus-
that the passsge of the Nebrssks- Kansa, act, a.
though en- apparent triumph, was in reality the BE-
ginning ofthe ruin of tie Democratic party.
Much, very much, depends on Mr. Doug'a'''
speech, which is expected at O'Clock tomorrow.
If he falters, and equiyocates, and qualities, be
will only throw himself s8ay-he will be driven to
the wall and crushed. In any case, the whole
weight Ct the Administration aud Of the South will
be thrown sgain,t him. II be cOnfronts them
boldly and takes . resolute and thoroughgoing pO-
sitiop, be has the whole North, the msjorty of tbs
nation, with him.

bere hope that tho Free State mea in KsDsas will
vote on the Plat of December, and thus send TO
Cor gress nominaly Free. State Constitution. To
get ,uch vote il row their game for if the Free
State men refuse to vote, ard Kansas comes hero
for admission with q plain, palpsble, Slsve-Stste
Coz stitution, tho Discussions Of tho Democracy
will be altogether psst healing.

probably put forth an address to the people in 70
ply to The Message.
The fight upon the printing continues 1t is
thought that tho discussion 10 the House to-day
benefited rather than injured Wendell.
