Prospects of the Democracy.

In the course Of an able article on the "Con-
gTeSsoual Elections Of the North," the Rich
mond South says But, let the present state of
things De what it may, the prospects of the
Democratic party OF the Union will not great
" suffer in any event. These elections over
the Kansas difficulty will be at an end. There
will be no dscordant element IN the way of the
pertet cooperation OF all sections OF the party,
10 the next Presidential election. On the other
hand, the disoFganization the Opposition will
become every day more intense and impractical
bic the chances of an effective coalition d-
mnish in proportion TO the increase of candi-
dates and the multiplication of irreconcieabls
issues The most determined of the Black Re-
publcans will adhere TO the anti-savery arti-
Gle of their creed, 10 the bitter end but the
occasion for IFS immediate application is past
and the excitement subsidized, the conservative
portion otthe party will begin TO reflect upon
the ultimate consequence OF such purely
sectional movement. Black Republicanism
will appear in the next Presidential canvass, as
fiercely sectional as ever, but with such dmin-
ished proportions as to render it powerless for
mischief The 'Americans' will doubtless pre-
serve their organization, unless, meantime, they
become merged in the controlling element OF
the Opposition. In either event, the position
aud prospects of the Democracy will be the
same. We shall be victorious in 1860, whatev-
rr the character of the Opposition and, for
our part, We care not how soon they combins
their scattered forces.
