D.xooRAno Know Nonusa REPUBLICAN, CONSERVATIVE
Simon Cameron, Of Pennsylvania
And, If this list were not sufficiently extern
ive for the purpose, we might add to it certain
conservative Northern whig democrats, of the
school of exSpeaker Winthrop, of Massachu.
sets certain slave State republicans, of the
school of Hon. F. P. Blair, of Missouri; and
certain Southern wing democrats, of the school
of Senator Pearce, of Maryland. But the list
and the classification given will afford the in
quiring politician pretty broad conception Of
the amount of work to be done in compromising
and compromising among candidates, sections
and factions before either the regular demo-
Gratis, the republicans or the rump of the Know
Nothings can hope to accomplish anything be-
fore the people in 1860.
We have already shown that, from all the
existing facts and signs of the times, the proba-
bilities Of the approaching elections for the next
Congress are decidedly in favor of an OPP
position majority. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE that the dissenions and divisions made in
the democratic ranks, North and South, by
such factious leaders as Douglas, Toombs and
others of the present, can be healed in season to
save the next Congress. The late financial re-
vulsion, too. in its depressing effects upon the
federal treasury, has inevitably resulted in q
schedule of expenditures, treasury note issues
and loahs, which must operate to the temporary
advantage of the opposition. In fact, what
with the Reorganization of the democracy in
Congress, the expensive legacies left to Mr.
Buchanan by poor Pierce, and the prostration
Of the treasury by the late general financial
simeon, blasting and blighting everything in
its course, nothing but the most wretched
management on the part of the opposition forces
can prevent them from securing majority in
the next Congress.
But let them secure a majority in the next
House, and with the assembling of its incOn-
gruous elements in the capitol the real troubles
Of the opposition in reference to 1860, instead
of being ended, will only, at that point, begin.
The compromise which may have proved suf-
fcient to carry this or that Congressional
district will be utterly insufficient for
the larger area of the Presidential cam
paign. In the interval, too, the country,
the treasury and the administration party
may recover their lost ground, and new issues,
foreign and domestic, may change the whole
existing programme Of parties and principles
for the succession.
At present we can only see that all parties
and factions, leaders and candidates, platforms
and principles, North and South, East and
West, are in q state of inexplicable confusion
and fermentation. 1t will be some time yet be-
fore the pot will have boiled down, and its solid
contents will have crystallized at the bottom.
But even now, there Is one point upon which
we think there can be no Misrepresentation, aud
it is this-that unless the opposition forces shall
ignore all their old outstanding sectional and
faction candidates, and reduce their plan of
operations to that of 1910, they will be divided
upon two or three Presidential tickets, as In
1886 and 1856, and the democracy, as in those
CAGES, may again slip in between them. AT this
juncture, this appears to be the only living
chance for the reduced remnant of the old de-
mocratic party, but the prospect Is still en-
couragng, from the numerous existing proba-
bilities of another opposition scrub race.
