The Recent Elections Sustaining the Ma
lionaI Policy OF the Administrati0n-A
Warning to the MaIcontsnts.
The recent political Developments in the
Southwestern and Southern States show that
the fire eaters and ultras have strangely mis-.
taken the tone and temper Of the times, and
hon hao oil n, fhoSr
combinations and elections.
AS there is no great party division at the
South, like that between the democrats and
black republicans in the North, the issue was
made to lie more particularly between the con-
servatiye policy of the administration aud the
Wild schemes of the ultra and fre-eating poll
ticans. Not satisfied with the sagacious aud
safe policy of Mr.. Buchanan, set of disap-
pointed offieeseekers sought to create new party
Issues, and to have a new deal of the political
cards. They have played into the hands of the
Northern black republicans, and raised the CRY
q niger and the squatter sovereign, Had Sew
AID and Thur]ow Weed themselves planned the
late political campaign at the South, they
could not have laid it out more to the
advantage Of their own schemes than did the
Southern ultras. The crazy effort to reopen the
slave trade, like the attempt to make the semi
republican Illinois squatter sovereignty doctrine
palatable to the conservative South, merely to
create ground of opposition to the course of
| Mr.. Buchanan's administration, has been mise
! Fable failure, as it well deserved to be.
The elections have told the tale, and proved
the soundneas Of the popular heart In Kentucky
the malcorterts favored the opposition to the ad
pinistration democracy, and Mr.. Guthrie and Linn
| Boyd demanded that Mr.. Breckenridge should de-
| clare himself either as candidate for the Presj
dency or the Senate, and not hold the position be
had taken, that he was candidate for no post
but would go wherever the people sent him
The consequence was that the so-called demo
Gratis lost four members of Congress. In NORTH
| Carolina similar result overwhelmed the ultra
| lists, aud enabled them to lose two members O
Congress there. Ia Tennessee the nationality
OF the Congressional representation is sustained
ard the same power holds good in Alabama and
Texas. The malcontents have been defeated
| in al three of these States, and national men
have been returned to the national couucii.
These results have carried disfnsy into their
ranks, and small potato delegation, headed
by the recently discharged Minister to Mexico,
has come on to Washington to confer with the
nalcontents there. In Louisiana like result
attended the schemes Of Mr. Soule and his con-
federates in the administration Odd Fellows
Hall meeting in New Orleans. At the State
Convention at Baton Rouge the party at once
! discarded them, and came out plumply in sup
| port of Mr.. Buchanan's policy.
| The ultimate result of this popular upheavine
| will be to give the administration strong sup
port in the next Congress. The opposition mem
bers from the South will not support either th'
Northern black republicans or the Southern
fire eaters. They will give frank but indie
pendent support to the national policy of tn
President, and thus perfect the organization O
a great national party on his platform. The fac
tious members of the last Congress have
received a lesson in these results tha
will do them great good They vii
be. enabled to see that the people are not to
be led away with willo' the wisp doctrines il
national affairs and that they do not believe tina
any man is good and great because he is disap
| pointed oficeseeker
We rb III not be surprised to gee similar re-
snlt occur 10 our Northern State elections.
the denl~'s'ic politicians will lay aside all Their
foolish .o'uhples for Office, and their wavering
support I'll one folly to-day and another to-mor
| row, and take their stand upon the sagaciou:
policy Of the administration, they can carry New
York and half the other Northern States. But il
they still continue to perform the part of dema
gogues they must accept their fate and consent
to dwindle down aud flicker out as Walker
Douglas and Wise have done. Like these they
will have no other resource left than to come In
at last and support the national policy which
Mr. Buchanan has maintained, and which will
command the allegiance Of the next Congress
