TIE Logic Of Recent Events.

As IUJ trusting reliance on tha aGvanla-
res promised in TIE result oi Il Presidential!
eIeaIivn, is the mistake TO which tie Sou;h
is speedily inclined at the presen: mameEJ,
80 is il precisely the crrcr against which
events warn with u, the most ois,iuc;ness *
emphasis of 1dmontlon. We 90 not mean
to imply that the South ,eposes an excess %
c ,nfGence III the good :.,iIh oi the Pre-ide:,t
eect; fUr, as We have over and Oy-r Z III
avJwe ed, we b, Ii We Mr.. buchanan viii re
deem his pledges in each ard every letter Of
tn. rla,lurm. The tluuder towards which
or people seem to have tou great a pr1c!iv
lv, is in supposing that the result OF the re-
cent elpc ion De ermined the struggle with
Black Republicarism; or, indeed, that l..
.2ve ary decisive advantage 10 the South.
In Il neral sense, the recent election
5 e...s barren of any permanent effect. For
a moment perhaps the Bltck Republican
sentiment OF tn. North suffered some sn1ck
and re,oi'; but we do not perceive that tie
party be rays any disposition to abunion
the contest, or even to prosecute the war
with less spirit and vigor. It's organization
exists with stronger vitality; and It's men,
bers are already projecting plan Of cam
paign for 1860, II they understood their
recent defeat to be equIvdleat to popular
verdict az inst their principles, they would
not exhibit So much of energy and defence
Ir their preparations for another tria Of the
issue. A party which feels itself smitten
BY tae wrath OF the people, does not carry
80 proud Il front a2d so lofty crest, but
like ihe miserable fragment of FiiimJrr's
followers, is apt to hang lis head in shame
aud To shrink obscurely from the struggle
Again, il the consequences OF the receut
vctorv be comput d BY mere material
