The Da wn OF new Political Era.

The Buffalo Express has an article on
this subject-and We have noticed similar
articles in many leading papers of late
squirting to a general reorganization of
old parties, the concentration of the prin-
ciples of freedom and the non-extension
Of Slave territory, in one solid organiza-
ton North and South. That the leading
ideas of the Republican doctrine are fast
gaining ground in the Southern States,
there is abundant proof in the bold advo-
cacy of them in several of the Southern
States, where but few years ago a man
would have been tarred and feathered,
and drummed out, over the Missouri
Compromise liue, il not mobbed and kill
ed. Now, not only is individual opinion
and free speech tolerated there, on the
subject, but several presses are bold and
outspoken on the subject, and are amply
supported in their course. The Express
says
In view of these facts it is no wonder
that John j. Crittenden, John Bell, Hen.
ry A. Wise, and other Southern statesmen
who ranked among the most earnest
friends, as we'll as among the most gallant
supporters of Henry Clay, should, like
himself, be forced to take ground against
the policy Of the South, and to throw the
weight OF their influence in the opposite
scale-in the scale of that party which
has struggled SO long and SO successfully
against the crushing prejudices of aooli-
tionism and scctionalism.
In this the dawn of new political era
is distinctly visible. Its coming may not
be tomorrow, nor the day after, but come
il will none the less sure; and we doubt
the proposition made at Philadelphia in
the Republican Convention of 1856, that
the next National Republican Convention
be held at Richmond or Charleston, may
be realized to the letter, without a shadow
Of personal danger. The future influence
of the Republican organization will no
longer be confined to the Free States. 1t
has already taken hold of the popular
mind at the South, in Missouri, in Virgin
ia, in Kentucky, in Tennessee and Mary
land, and before the next Presidential
contest it must obtain foothold in the
trebly fortified citidels of Slavery in South
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas. Events have tend
ed since the discussion of the Kansas
question was first introduced, to national
ze the anti-Slavery sentiment of the
North, by opening the eyes of the South
crn people to the injustice, inhumanity
and cnormity of their demands and az
gressions. -Dctrod AdCertiser.
