A CARD.

1t is due to the subscribers of the National
Era to state that the paper will continue to be
edited and published under the provision made
by its late editor and proprietor, in view of his
intended absence in Europe.
The Era will remain true to the principles it
has always advocated. Writers of eminent
ability will contribute to its editorial columns.
Its literary department will be placed in able
hands, and no effort will be spared to make the
paper as nearly as possible what it has always
been.
The value of the National Era as the repre-.
sentative of free principles at the National Cap
ital, and TO the family of its late editor as their
only available means of support, makes it my
imperative duty to continue its publication
without interruption.

THE ELECTIONS.

The Southern elections have resulted in a
general defeat of the Administration, if we ex-
cept Alabama, where Slavery rules everything.
In Tennessee the Opposition have elected seven
of the ten Representatives to Congress, and
have gained four. We are gratifed at the
election of Mr.. Etheridge, as bold and I'M
compromising opponent of Southern ultraisms.
He it was who proposed the resolution in the
Thirty fourth Congress condemning the African
slave trade as inhuman and unjust, and which
was adopted in the House by large majority. To
the eternal infamy of the American Tract Soc-
ETY., this resolution, written by Southern poll
tieian, was rejected by that body, for fear of
giving offence to the South
Notwithstanding the large Opposition gains
in the Congressional delegation, the Sham De-
mocracy elect their candidate, Harris, Gov
ernor, by several thousand majority. The Nash
vile Union, the organ of the party states that
the Opposition owe their successes to the fact
that the Wing Legislature in 1853 "gerry-
wandered the State.
In Kentucky the Sham Democracy elect
their Governor by eight or TEL thousand ma
jority. But the Congressional delegation is
equally divided between the two parties. The
district in which it was supposed there was a
tie has elected Anderson, the Opposition man,
by three majority. The seat of Sims, the Sham
Democratic candidate in the Ashland district.
will be contested and if successful, the ma
jority of the delegation will be given to the Or
position. We have not yet learned whether any
or all of the Kentucky Opposition Representa-
tives, like the candidate for Governor, commit
ted themselves to the doctrine of slave code
for the Territories. We fear, however. that
they have followed his lead, and that of their
principal newspapers, the Louisville Journal
and Frankfort Commonwealth.
North Carolina has elected four Opposition,
and four Sham Democrats. Mr.. Gilmer, who
opposed the Lecompton fraud, and who was
assalled as an abolitionist, has been reelected
by greatly increased majority, although he had
an Opposition as well as Sham Democratic
competitor His majority over both is some
The triumph of General Houston in Texas
by several thousand majority, as the independ-
ent candidate for Governor, is another rebuke
to the Administration and the Southern ultras
He was supported by the Opposition, against
the regular nominee of the Black Democracy.
His opponent set out in the campaign as an
advocate of the revival of the slave trade, but
backed down from that position before the
stern denunciations of General Houston and
his friends. When it is recollected that Gen
eral Houston voted against the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, this result must be re-
garded as a clear indication that Texas is dis.
gusted with the reckless ultraisms of Southern
demagogues. 1t is also stated that Reagan
and Hamilton, the antslave-trade candidates
for Congress, are elected.

PRESIDENTIAL EospRcTs.

1t is quite clear to us th, unless the Repub-
icans elect President in 60, no election by
the people can take plac The number of
electoral votes, including hnsas-which will
in all probability be admitd at the next ses-
sion of Congress-will be o6, and majority
of this number, necessary IL choice of Presi-
dent and Vice President, l54. The Socth
has l20 electors, and the fe States, including
Kansas, viii number 186 ebtors. So that the
Black Democracy cannot ,cceed unless they
can carry every Southern late, and Northern
States enough to make u34 electors. We

REPUBLICANIsM ON THE PACIFIC.

We gave last week Geographic announce
ment from st. Louis that the overland mail
had just arrived at that place, with information
of the election of Logan, the Republican candi
date for Congress in Oregon, by &c majority
The New York Tribune of Friday last confirms
this report, ON the authority of gentleman who
came passenger by the Star of the West, who
had seen letter from Mr.. Logan himself to
that effect. This is glorious news. The fact
that this single vote of the Oregon Representa-
tive will be equivalent to that of the largest
State of the Union, if the election of the Presi-
dent should devolve upon the House of Repre-
sentatives, gives first rate importance to the re-
suit, and affords happy augury of future sue
cesses Of the Republican party.
Hitherto, the calculations of all parties have
been based on the assumption that Oregon and
California were as a matter of course to adhere
to the slave Democracy. But the result in
Oregon has completely changed the aspect of
things, and little doubt now remains that both
the young States on the Pacific will vote the
Republican ticket in 1860. The enthusiasm
of the Opposition in San Francisco on the re-
ceipt of the news from Oregon is said to have
been wild, and efforts are now making to bring
about fusion between the Republicans and
Broderick Democrats, with a fair prospect of
success at the polls.
The following extract from letter to the St.
Louis Democrat, dated San Francisco, July 20,
will be read with interest:
"Politics are raging with great fury. Broder-
lex has opened the campaign, and at Placer
vile on the 9th addressed an audience of 5000
in the open air. He was received with the fir
ing of cannon, bands of music, and a thousand
citizens on horseback. Thus far he has only
appeared at four places, with the same enthusi-
asm at each. His speeches are like hot shot
in the ranks of the Administration, scattering
confusion wherever they strike. He has been
very severe upon Buchanan and the chivalry,
not stopping to mince words or deal in honeyed
phrases Truly, his is the Anglo-Saxon unde-
filed. Denver and Latham appeared in Placer
vile four nights after BrOderick, and had only
one-fourth the audience. Col. Baker and Lee
land Stanford, the Republican nominees for
Congress and Governor, are also stumping the
State, and gaining hosts of friends.

ings. The candidates are favorable to it, and
a strong point is made upon the union of the
Opposition in New York to re-elect the Anti
Lecompton Democrats, Haskin and Clark, and
elsewhere for the same purpose. The speeches
of the Anti-Lecomptonites and Republicans are
so nearly alike in substance that it is difficult
to see the distinction between the two parties.
Most singular of all Broderick omits all men.

averse to the Presidential aspirations of the

tolerated. it is not improbable that Popular
Sovereignty would triumph but in Charleston
it would be idle to look for such result Mr..
Douglas and his platform will be cast out with
out much ceremony, platform will be manu-
featured which viii be far more acceptable TO
the South than that adopted at Cincinnati in
1856; and the consequence will be, the general
dispersion of the Northern Democracy. 1t is
not improbable that Mr.. Douglas may, if he
remains true, be taken up as an independent
candidate but we believe that he is pledged to
support the nominees, although he may not like
the platform.
The Southern leaders of the Black Democ-
racy are too far committed to their ultra theo-
ries to make such concessions as might save
the party. If not too proud and imperious to
make such concessions to Northern doughfaces
and -Abolitionists, they would be deferred
from doing SO by the fear of exposing them
selves in flank to the fire of the Southern OPP
position, who stand ready at any moment to
assume the position of ultra defenders of Sla-
very, whenever it shall be vacated by the lead
ers of the Black Democracy. Thus it is that
the Democratic party has become utterly dis
organized, and put horS de combat by its sub
serviency to the Slave Power, its abandonment
of all the old landmarks Of principle, and its
corruptions Its glory has departed, its king
dom is divided, and its sceptre given to another.

which has the misfortune to have such man
for its head. 1t is Virginia of which Mr.. Wise
is Governor 1t is to the Mother of States that
we are forced to trace this shameful hariotry."
These civilities between the leaders of the
Sham Democracy in New York and those of
Virginia augur anything but harmony at
Charleston, or victory at the polls. We will
not undertake to say which is in the right but,
like DR.. Franklin, when called upon to arbi-
trate quarrel between two individuals, de-
clined the delicate Office, but remarked, Gen
tlemen, you seem to know each otherl"
