1.-The general result of the recent elections,
with the exceptions of KanZas and Massachu-
sets, has encouraged the administration, and
confirmed the Democratic party in its ditfu-
sion of negroes policy. A holder tone is OBJ
servable here since the New York election.
Notwithstanding our Triumph in Kanzas, the
contest for freedom is not over, but is only
beginning. An aristocratio party like that
which ridiculously calls itself the Democratic
AN aristocracy, privileged order, like the
slaveholding clsss-not only never voluntari-
ly relinquishes power, but is never content
with what it has got until long and severe
experience has taught it prudence and for
beaTance. The aristocracy of England, in the
course OF centuries, has been scourged into
moderation. In 1910 and in 1858 it received
wholesome lessons, whose teachings have
never been forgotten. But our American
arlstocrscy is arrogant with success, and
haughtily tram plies alike on its white as well
as onits black serfs. 1t regards laws and Con-
situations as little as it does justice or princi-
pie. Determined to keep its hold on the gov
eminent and on the public revenue, it will
stick at nothing that may subserve that end.

otr and Kanzas. In Minnesota the fraud has
been apparently successful. In Kapzas the
amount of fraud required was SO great, and
theagents to perpetrate it SO bunging or SO
reckless, that it defeated itset.a Had it been
little less gross, or the villains q little more
skillful, it would have succeeded As it is,
the pro- slavery leaders are furious at the fail
ure of their tools in KanZas, and though they
may not dare to remove Walker, they villa
suredly punish him for his inconVenient
sqeamishness. Their rage discloses equally
their policy, their hopes, and their disap-
pointment. Baffied in Kanzas, the game will
be re.opened at the first opportunity.
1t is well for the country that the game of
the arlstoeracy is openly disclosed and played
above board. 1t is more easily met than Ii it

as possible, the poor white man on the ground
that he is dangeroust to order and to properly.
There is nothing new in this policy. 1t is as
old as history. From the beginning of re-
corded time the privileged class, the nobility,
have pursued ii with more or less success.
Our nobility is only following in the footsteps
of Its illustrious predecessors. The Romans
pursued il in the latter years of the republic,
with such vigor and thoroughness that the
whole empire became reduced to the ideal
condition of a Southern statesman u it was
divided into immense plantations, with we'll
trained gangs of hands, and few poor whites
or free blacks to modest the STAKEHOLDER or
disturb his patriarchal rule. The consequence
was, ofcourse the overthrow Of the republic
and subsequently the easy subversion OF the.
empire By foreign invaders. In the best peri
cd of the republic the Roman ANIMALS are
largely occupied with struggles between the
patricians and plebelans, the shareholders and
the poor treemen, similar to that which we
have witnessed in Kanzas. For centuries the
two classes were continually eontending about
the settlement of the territories acquired by
conquest the patricians seeking to a2propri-
ate the public lands to themselves and their
slaves, Just sa orr patricians are endeavoring
to do. 81
In the feudal ages the same strife went on
The mobiles sought to repress free labor, and
at one time nearly covered Europe with their
plantations titled by bondmen. Europe was
saved by the rise of the cities. The urban
population overthrow the feudal Shareholders
just as in our slave States the, first effectual
revolt against the supremacy of the nobility
has been made by the city Of st. Louis, to be
followed at no distant day by Baltimore, Lou
isyille, and New Orleans. The feudal nobil-
ity in many respects resembled our own.
which, not without reason, delights to call
itself the chivalry.' 1t was equally violent,
naughty, covetous OF land, inclined to fill
clustering, and dlsdainful of commerce, labor,
and the mechanic arts. For the most part,
like our own nobility, it was untitled. Titles
were confined to a few great families, on
whom they " ere conferred by the monarchs.
The bulk of the nobility in the countries
which shll retain the feudal customs, as Rus
STA and some parts of Austria, are untitled!
Nobility is constituted there as it is practical
ly in our slave States, by the possession of
slaves and plantation. NT
That our aristocracy will eventually be re-
pressed and extinguished is morally certain.
But the struggle against them may be long
and serious. They are strongly intrenched
behind decisions, the most formidable of
which is their impudent assumption of the
name of Democracy, which secures them the
support Of the ignorant foreign population
and of the least reflective part of the native.
The greatest permanent danger to be appre-
bended from them is the peopling of the unoc-
cupied part of the continent by negroes, to
the exclusion of white men. With incredi.
bic efrontery they term their antagonists
Black Republicans and cry out vehemently
against negroes and against Authorization
while the great aim OF their policy is to ex.
tend the negro race into the territories, and to
Africanize the continent. So audacious have
they grown of late, that they no longer at
tempt to conceal their contempt for the lower
classes even of the white race. a week or
two ago the New York Herald had an article
contrasting the condition of the white labor
ers of the North with that Of the enslayed
laborers of the South, favorably, Of course, to
the latter, and intimating plainly enough
that the white laboring class ought to be made
happy by being reduced to bondage. The
Government organ here, the Union, copied it
with appreciation, as sound and statesmanike.
In fact, why should it notS No aristocra-
cy, ho nobility in the world, avows more aris-
toeratic, more undemocratlc doctrines than
the leaders of the self styled Democratic party
of this country and it would be fully con-
sistent, both with their practice as well as
their theory, to reduce to bondage the entire
laboring classes, without regard to race or
color. The step from political to personal
oppression is but slight, and the party that
could perpetrate and sanction the outrages
| upon the settlers in Kanzas may be consider
ed capable Of anything. 1-a Hh'H
