Beg The Kentucky locofoco Convention
endorsed the Administration, as well by
resolution, as by its nominations. This,
however, will make no difference with the
anti-Lecompton locofocos, headed by the

B6s~ The prospect now is, that six new
Territories will soon be organized-all I'M
der the rule of squatter sovreignty-all to
be free States and populated by the off
scourings Of the northern States, and Of
Europe. Add these to Oregon, Nebraska
Kansas, Utah, and New Mexico and we
shall soon have eleven more free States
whilst there is not a shadow of chance
for single additional slave State. Yet
with this gloomy prospect before it, the
South is grasping at two Mexican States
already free, and to be continued so under
the operation of squatter sovereignty. II
is also reaching out its arms to emil race
Cuba, the annexation of which will ulti
mately make free States of Missouri, Ken
lucky, and Maryland, and PROSTATE the
planting interests Of Louisiana. Such i,
the policy of southern madmen who seel
to dissolve the Union, and of southern
knaves who seek the spoils of Office BY
pandering to the radcalism of lawlesl
mobs-without regard to tho ruinous con
sequences that must follow.

Illinois Senator.

Steve Douglass has been reelected to
the United States Senate, thus sealing his
triumph over old Buck and his empty
treasury. 1t is somewhat remark able-if
such term be applicable to locofoco incon-
sistency-that southern locofoco journals
betray anything but satisfaction at Doug
lass victory over the Black Republican
Lincoln. And this fact goes far to estab-
lish the charge, that locofocoism is more
concerned for the interest of the party
than for the practical application of sound
principles, or the preservation of the Gov
eminent itself. Had Lincoln defeated
Douglass, it would have caused rejoicing
in the South as an Administration triumph,
whilst the success of Black Republican
would have been treated as a matter OF
small moment. Such is locofocoism-ev-
erything for party-nothing for country.

that the United States should have cause
of war with almost every State, from ne
Gulf Of Mexico to Cape Horn, and wond-
ers that the weaker powers should so uni
formly be the aggressors. We're this true,
it would be singular coincidence but il
should be borne in mind that our Govern
ment, In the hands Of locofocos, has pc
culiar tact in finding cause Of war,,with the
weak, when the same cause would author
Use no. such conclusion with reference to
a first class power. The officers of State
and Federal governments are elected, now
a-days, by rabble, and the administration
is shaped SO as TO tickle the fancy of those
to whom the officers are indebted for their
election. A rabble is always lawless and
cowardly, and government under its con-
troll partakes of the same characteristic
meanness.. It is not that the United States
really has cause of war with Spain, or Mex
leo, that hostile demonstrations are made
against either. But the cupidity Of the
masses covets the acquisition of Cuba, and
two Of the Mexican States; and the law
lessness infused into the Government by
the rabbe that controls it, suggests the
seizure of the one by attachment, and the
other two, by protectorate. The weak
ness Of Mexico would enlist the sympathy
of heightened government, and d mag.
unanimous people would scorn to take ad
advantage Of that weakness aud the fact
that our government is willing to commit
robbery under the shelter of such weak
ness, is volume of comment upon the
corruption of government and people
protesting to be free and enlightened
magnanimous and just.

CHAPTER III.

1t is eleven o'clock a. m, and Mrs. Ssgo,
wearing the foulard silk morning robe and
French cap, goes down to the drawing-room,
where there is very perceptible smell of
new furniture; and very quiet is all within
that drawing-room. No sound save the mono
tonous ticking Of the small French clock on
the marble mantle, vases are filled with
rare flowers, the walls are almost covered
with paintings, some Of them gems of art
beautiful statusry and elegant surroundings,
but NO air of home comfort; everything is
too new for that. The folding doors are open,
throwing the front and back drawing-roo
into one for the occasion; and Mrs. Sage
walks from one to the other feeling very
little out Of humour. aud very much dissatis-
fed with her tout ensemble. She was standing
in the middle Of the floor, determining in her
own mind to go to her room, and exchange
her dress for one more to her taste, when
there was ring ut the door bell. Making a
plunge she landed in the middle of sofa,
where perfectly erect and with folded hands
she was sitting as motionless as q statue,
when Burdotte, after very slight rap, entered
to say that the cut glass had arrived.

And many son fell low
To keep its folds ascendant!

Oh, yes! we'll keep their names
Embalmed in song and story,

CHAPTER VI.

It is the nightof Mrs. Brcvoort's select ball !;
the tastefuly arranged drawing.rooms are
filled with beautiful women and elegant men ;
fashion and folly, wealth and wastefulness are
mingled together in that brilliant assemblage; |;
pure and lovely girls just entering upon lite's
holy-day, and young men fresh from College;
many good and estimable women are there
and very many honorable upright men, for
society is not all false. Mrs. Sage is there
dressed magniicently and very much admir-
ed by many of the distinguished guests. Mrs.
Breyoort has some friends from Boston stay
ing with her two sisters,-very lovely and
accomplished girls-by the name OF Whitney.
They appear to be the centre of attraction in
that gay assembly. This party is only one OF
a thousand, and too much like all others ofia
class to need description. The evening wears
away delightfully."- at twelve, supper is AL
uounced there is Il rush for tlia supper room
but the repast is not SO substantial nor abuh'
dant as these thi6ss generally arei still that
matters little every one appears 10 enjoy
themselves. In another hour oil have re-.
turned to the drawiug.room and the dance.
Mrs. Sage was anxious to speak to the hostess
privately, and tell her that Mr.. Sago had been
quite short of funds, but was expecting to re-
ceive money soon, and would then lend Mr..
Brevoort the required amount. This was not
true, but Mrs. sugo wished to say something
on the subject by way Of apology, and seeing
Mrs. Brevoort standing quite alone was making
her way in that direction. The dancers were
in motion and there was not much room to
spare, and by some chance Mrs. Sage found
herself in the recess Of. deep bay window.
The night air was very refreshing, and Mrs.
Saso seated herself behind the heavy window
drspery intending to remain there until the
dancing ceased andthere should be more room
and better opportunity for getting in the
vicinity of the hostess. The guests passed
and repassed close enough to tread upon her
dress, but the curtain being down she was
hidden from view. Presently a couple stop,
ped in the window recess, so close that Mrs.
Sage could have touched them without rising,
they were talking quite earnestly and proved
to be Mrs. Brevoort and one of the Misses
Whitney.
"Who is this Mrs. Sago?" Miss Whitney's
asked.
"a mere nobody" was Mrs. Breroort:
answer.

outcry over the alleged notification Of the

They suggest that the slavers be taken North
