THE COMING EVENT CASTING ITS
SHADOWS BEFORE.

The areat event Of 1s60-perhaps it will prove
the greatest well as the most disastrous event OF
ancient or modern times-the election Of W. H. Sew
ard, or . more rabd fanatic, to the Presidency of
the United States-seems to grow surer as the Pc
riod approaches nearer. The signs all point that
way-the indications all appear to tend in that d.
rection-and the influences which govern the minds
of the great masses of the Northern people manifest
themselves with peculiar strength and significance
wherever an opportunity presents itself to enable
them to show how deep-seated and ineradicabe is
their hostility to the South and the institutions of
the South. When important elections transpire, the
FreesoiIers almost invariably win, and exhibit in
contestible evidences OF the overwhelming power
they possess.
In 1856 they carried almost the entire North and
came very near eecting their candidate for the
Presidency Col. Fremont. But for Douglas in ILL.
nois and Forney in Pennsylvania there little room
for doubt that Fremont would have received the
electoral votes Of both Of those States Since then
however, an astonishing change has taken place in
both of the two commonwealth. The Admnstra-
tion has been wretchedly beaten In Pennsylvania,
and Douglas had to his reelection to the SEN
ate Of the United States by the most desperate fight
man ever made against the Black Republicans of his
State and the entire influence the President be
materially aided to elect could bring to bear against
him. On account Of these significant facts, and 9TH
we would name, il necessary, we count Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois against the Democracy in 1860,
unless, indeed, Douglas should receive the nomina
tion at the Charleston Convention. And as there is
little probability he will receive the support Of the
Southern file leaders OF the Democracy-who are
controlled from Washington by the Generals and
Lieutenant Generals of that organization we in
cline to think bis nomination not very certain
event. Hence we calculate now, as we have pre-
diced months and years past that sectional North,
animated by merciless crusade upon the constitu-
tona rights of the South, will gain the day at the
| next Presidential struggle. We see no avenue of
escape from that alternative. Would that could.
Pennsylvania and Illinois being rredeemably lost,
except certain contingency happens (the nomina
tion of Douglas) what has the South to hope for :?
Nothing very pleasant, surely
at next to the last election in the State of Con-
necticut the Democracy gained two members of Con-
gress from the Black Republicans This was heralded
all the South by the socalled conservative press
as evidence of decline of abolitionsm in New Eng
land. True, small vote was polled. True, the per
sons chosen were only elected by the meagres kind
of msjori.ies yet the poison seduously distributed
did its work. The Southern people were, to some
extent by the very organs they had right to rely
upon, lulled into another dream Of false security
only to be wakened therefrom to find out that they
had been again deceived, and that their relentless
enemies were stronger than ever.
On Monday last another general election tool
place in the State of Connecticut The New YorI
Tribune of the 6th thus chronicles the result there
and incidentally alludes to other elections:

PREPARING FOR THE GREAT NATIONAL RENovATIo,
OF 1850.
The election of Senator Seward is the great Ma
tional renovation . the Tribune audes to. Greeley
no doubt, implicitly believes in the verify of NJ
Stewards declaration on the floor of the Senate, th
the " battle between the North and South had bee
fought aud won y by the North. He has good reaso
to hold to that belief There is little nothing
impugn its probability.
And, when the battle shall be fought and won b.
the free soilers in 1S6O have no sort of quesio
but that the '' nionatany-price" gentlemen, VIII
will then have succeeded in destroying the inde
pendence and rights of the South will insist that
people should wait and see if Sewards rule is not
first rate rule! Give him four years term, and ou
serfdom will be complete-fnished forever. Bu
that is what they appear to want.
