Coming Events.


It looks now as if the distribution Of
parties in the United States at the next
Presidential election is destined to be
upon distinctly recognized local basis
the North against the South, the South
against the North; with platforms openly
pro-slayery and anti-slayery. The talk
about an opposition party-to embody all
the elements of disafection to the acts
and character Of the present Admins
tration, North and South--will, according
to present appearances, end where it be-
gan. In both sections of the Union the
organizations remain in the hands by
which they were guided in 1885, nor does
it appear that, on either side, there is
disposition to abandon the old tests and
watchwords; on the contrary, the antag-
onism has produced its natural effect,
and the leaders are more confirmed in
their own extreme notions than before.
1t is not difficult to see that the lead
ers Of the Republican party are deter
mined to preserve its present organiza-
ton, and to make its policy directly ag-
grcssive upon slavery-Mr. SEwARD's Ro-
chester interpretation of the Republican
platform being assumed as the rule in
matters of sentiment This will consti-
tute that party, to all intents and dpurposes,
an Abolition party and in that direc-
tion--as far and as fast as it may be pro
PEELED by the activity Of its leaders-it is
travelling WEED, STEVENS, CLAY, BLAIR,
GREELEY, CoLF.M, Grow, WAsHBURNE,
GIDDINes, McCURDY, SEwALL, KErCHUM,
and the whole grand council of the party
as it now stands, are bent upon a war of
aggression upon the slave tenure and
there seems but little probability y-as such
people never learn any thing-that their
resolution will be abandoned b..
1t is equally erroneous to hold that the
National Government is made to extend
and that it is made to restrain slavery;
but it may not be equally dangerous. A
government which, throughout all it's de-
partments, holds the doctrine that one Of
its duties is to protect the relation be,
tween master and servant, may do so, and
act accordingly, with little danger to the
general tranquility; while the immediate
effect of the application of its doctrines
by an Abolition government would be t
create the most formidable excitemen
and the widest confusion. This coun
try can not afford an Abolitionist admin
istration which acts upon its principles
and does not need one which refuses l.
act upon its principles. OF the two
thercfore-if a choice is to be made-tht
pro-slavery administration is, by all odds
the safest depositary of the power Of tn,
: nation.
Aa much as the North, the South is t.
! blame for this state of things undoubt
; edly. Of the two sections, it is difficult t,
say which has been the most extreme
the most Obtrusive, and the most offensive
I in its fanaticism. The radicals of each
,, have made themselves as disagreeable al
possible to those of the other; and sun
Of active hatred has been generated whicl
] it will take long time and cool counsel
to dissipate. There is however, as littl
reason as possible to apprehend that the
!. will hurt each other. The law of con
!. pensation applies to fanaticism as well o
!. to other human things; and the proces
= of extinguishing one fire by lighting al
{. other, is one that has long been PRACTICAL
q understood. The agitators have all
I personal interest in the continuance of til
n Union, which will long preserve it frOl
s. dissolution; and behind them there is
I vast conservative mass the people, VIII
