The Presidential Issue-Symptoms and Ele-
ments OF q Scrub Race.

The Presidential IssNe-SymptOms and Ele-
ments OF a Scrub Race.
From all the signs around our political horis
zon there is some reason for the opinion that the
game for the next Presidency will be reduced to
scrub race-an exciting sectional scrub race
with all the complications and crossfring Of two
Northern sectional parties and two Southern sec-
tional parties on the everlasting question Of
slavery.
Already it il abundantly manifest that between
the republican party of the North and the oppo-
sition elements Of the South there is an impassa-
BILE chasm. The republican party adhere to the
doctrine that Congress possesses the power, aud
that it is the duty Of Congress to prohibit the in
PRODUCTION Of slavery into the Territories. On
the other hand the opposition forces Of the South
have entered the field in their preliminary work
for 1860 as pro-slavery party, boldly taking
the extreme pro-slavery ground in Kentucky that
it is the duty Of Congress to legsate for the pro
lection Of slavery in the Territories In the late
Virginia canvass, the opposition fought the de-
mocracy chiefly upon the plea of the anti-slavery
antecedents of Mr.. Letcher, and his unsouudness
on slavery as aSouthern man. In Tennessee, also,
we find the democracy in fair way to be SUPER
seeded by the opposition on the Southern side of
the niger ISSUE
These new movements very clearly show
that the opposition forces Of the South
have resolved for the future upon an
independent policy of their own, and that
1t is not the game Of fusion with the antislavery
republicans of the North, but a solid footing in
the Southern States upon the Southern side OF
the slavery question. We may thus assume It to
be fixed fact" that there will be two distnc,
opposition parties in the field in 1861 North
ern anti-slavery party and Southern pro- slavery
party. Nothing in the future annaors to r..
more certain than this division Of the opposition
forces Of the country into two independent and
hostile sectional parties.
The democracy, assuming that they will be
reunited into homogeneous national party at
Charleston, will make the third party in the con-
test; but we have no satisfactory assurance.
or signs Of this reunion at Charleston. Between
the Territorial squatter sovereignty doctrines
80 extensively prevailing among the Northern
democracy, and the Southern democratic policy
OF Congressional Intervention for the protection
Of slavery in the Territories there appears to be

500 men, who were taken prisoners; also 900
men and u cannon were captured without

The British and French ministers had energet-

The DIFFERENCE-GeO. ID. Prentice, of
the Louisville Journal, and Dr. Howe, super
intendent Of the Massachusetts Asylum for the
Blind, were schoolboys together in Rhode Isl
and, and both graduated at Brown University.
DIR. Howe is warm abolitionist, while Mr..
Prentice is an equally warm pro-slavery de-
fender. In recent number of his journal, Mr..
Prentice takes hi, old schoolmate severely to
task for sympathy with John Brown OF Harper's
Ferry memory, and closes by saying that DR..
Howe should "be execrated by the present gen.
Grafton and by posterity." Well, George, what
shall ''the present generation and posterity"
say Of you2 You were born and bred in New
England and when you taught school in the
neighboring town of Smithfeld, you loved and
poetized New England institutions, and abom-
mated the degrading institution peculiar to the
south. You have turned traitor to your first
love, to your natural regard for justice, to
your better judgment, and to all those finer
sentiments of your poet-heart and all those no.
bier feelings of pour maturer manhood. AS in
the church, the new converts are the most
jealous so in politics is the turn-coat the most
bitter, and in moral warfare the traitor the
most malignant. IVoonSocket Patriot.
