THE COMING CONTEST.


As the recent elections of New
Hampshire and Connecticut have de-
monstrated the entire d" Repulicanism"
of the Northeastern States, and the
utter hopclcssness of any favorable
change of opinion in that inimical
quarter, there is scarcely doubt as
to the course the South Ought to take
for safety in the coming movements
Of this country. In our view the
slave States should rally in mass un-
der the standard Of the Democratic
party, planted as it is in the sound
principles of the Constitution. We
believe that it is best to arrange for
the contest in 1860 upon the plans and
policy and under the modes and
usages of the Democracy heretofore,
TO nominate its candidates, and to
prevent, as far as possible, the forma-
ton of other parties that may in any
wise withdraw any power from the
full expression of Southern opinion on
a direct issue with the Black Re
publican" forces of the North.
We can scarcely entertain thought
that there is the least probability that
any free State will cast its vote for
any Democratic nominee. yet we find
some of our contemporaries at the
South still in the hope that some coun-
tervalling advantage may be gained
in the Northwestern States to over
balance the entire loss vi the North
east Having already lost New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut, and with no
hope of any assistance from Pennsyl-
vania or New York, or indeed of any
/ free Atlantic State, they still believe
that, by cultivating, as far as possible,
cordial political and reciprocal com
mercial relations with those States of
the Northwest that sympathize with
the South in the mutual interests OF
domestic and foreign trade, they may
be SO far won to Southern support as
to insure the triumph of the Democrat
ic party in the next contest.
This were, indeed, magnificent
policy. 1t ought to have been adopt
ed many years ago, and we would be
glad to believe that any argument
could he made, now or hereafter, tha,
would not only demonstrate, but con
vince the people of the great Wes
that their interests were bound firm
ly with the South, not only by the di
versity of pursuits, but BY the natural
ligaments and features of physical &c
! ography that the Mississippi River
and its tributaries are the great geo.
graphical arteries that pour out the
, wealth of the West, and connect the
trade and agriculture of that immense
, " fertile region with the worldly COM
merce of the Gulf of Mexico ; and that

tunes of the West and South are in.

; history OF both. Gould the West see
this in the light of truth, could they
realize the fact that all the nations OF

of nature, and exist only in the boun
daries of her rivers aud mountains

Here is only one of many griev.
anccs we might name, but it is great
one. Then, look only to the last srs-

humbly forward and asked two sim

system of the Government They
were the homestead first, and if this
could not be granted, then the ten
years respite to the settler to pay for
his lands after the survey. The grant,
ing OF either, or both, would have
been OF no detriment To the South, Pc
cunlariIy or otherwise, more than it
would to other sections of the Union.
But did the South show that "maies-
tic friendship and cooperation > which
the Register tells US "will place her

the South spurned her with taunts and

were being treated by his Southern

knife was again plunged into the vi.

for the landIcss," was the sneering
response of the naughty Southrons,
who rule us as with rod of iron.

THE WAR IN ITALY---ITs ORIGIN,
The New York Herald publishes tho

The New York Herald publishes tho
following letter, dated Turin, May Sd:
Now that the die is cast and the
war is fairly commenced, | am ena,
bled to give you what could not be-
forc-rcliablc information of its real
origin, which, notwithstanding all
you nave read in French, English or
Austrian papers, is as yet profound
secret. TINS war was planned three
years ago, and the movements which
have resulted in the revolutionary ele-
mcnts Of Italy, now uniting with the
King Of Sardinia, were projected in
1876 by Count Cavour, his Prime Min
Istcr, who established the Italian Ma
tional Society, for the double purpose
of checking the schemes of Mazzini's
party, and redeem Italy from Austrian
dominion. This society formed a
committee in Turin, the President of
which was Count Pallavicino, from
Milan, a gentleman of great wealth,
who suffered an Imprisonment Of twen-
ty years i'll the Austrian dungeons of
Speilbcrg, rendered SO famous by the
history of Silvio Pellico, and the more
circumstantial and unsparing nara
tive Of that long tragedy, given to
the world by Andryane, the compan-
ion of the illustrious Count Conialon-
ieri The Nice-President was General
GaribaIdi, who, after the defeat of
lS49, took refuge in your hospitable
city, and since that time abandoned
the party of Mazzini The Secretary
was La Forina, Prime Minister of
Sicily in lS4S. This committee formed
sub. committees all over Italy, from
the Alps to Sicily, and some too, be-
yond the Alps. Mann, the Dictator of
Venice in lS4S, was at the head Of
the committee in Paris, and Louis Ma
poeon and Prince Napoleon gave it
their secret countenance.
In London, too, another sub-com-
mittee was formed, under the direction
of the headquarters at Turin. 1t has
ramiiied even to Hungary and to Ger
many. The Central Committee at the
capital of Sardinia disseminated all
over Italy, through means Of the SUBJ
committee, secret publications, ad-
vising the people of their duties to
the country, and exhorting them to
bide their time, and not break out in
useless, abortivc attempts at revolu-
ton, which would be only extinguished
in blood by the Austrian government.
! Some of the Central Committee also
issued at Turin, an open publication,
in the form of small newspaper,
which was ably edited, though with
out any editors name it was called
II Picolo Corrierie d' Italia, { The Cetle
Courier Of Haiy.) In this were pro-
mulgated the views of the national
party, repudiating the extreme ultra
ism OF Mazzini, and advocating those
moderate, constitutional principles
which alone can redeem Italy, This
journal was secretly introduced into
every village and hamlet in the land,
not excepting Lombardy and Naples.
It's eloquent appeals spoke to the
heart, told the reader that Sardinia
WAS at work tor the redemption Of lta.

Come hither, child and kneel beside
Thy mother, while she prays:
'1is written, God delights to hear
The voice of prayer always.
Now fold thy soft and tiny hands,
And listen God is here
Forget thy childish cares and toys
While we to Him draw near.
Our Father! Thou the great Supreme,
Who gav'st thy Son to die,
To save us, sinful, helpless worms,
Hear this our feeble cry;
Accept, in Jesus name, pray,
This offering that bring

Oh, shield him meath thy wing
Thou gavcst me this one, oh God
I'd give him back to thee
And grant me grace that never more
My idol may he be!
Be thou his guardian, guide and friend,
Protect from every i'll,
In childhood, youth in riper years,
Grant him To know thy will.
And, lastly, when our work is done,
May each in Heaven be found,
In robes of white, with harps of gold,
Thy praises to resound.
