Republicans, says:
''Tb0 Nashville republican Banner, the organ of
JOHN BELL, is spelling all the fine prospects of that
gentleman for the Presidency by its coarse abuse of
the Black Republicans"
(Which knows best?" We suppose the question
means, Which knows best-the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN or the National ErG-whether the prospects of
JOHN BELL would be advanced or injured by the
abuse of Black Republicans by the Banner? We
suppose the National Era knows best, and we ex>
pect hereafter to see the Banner govern itself &C.
eordingly.
There is, however, in this little paragraph from
the National Era ample justification for every thing
we have charged agsinst the Opposition in Tennes>
see, on the subject Of q coalition. That paper,
which the Banner very properly supposes to "knoW
its own friends" considers the prospects of JOHN
BELL "fne," provided the chances are not spoiled
by abuse Of the Black Republicans by his Southern
friends! The National Era the organ Of the abe
litionists, regards the chance Of Mr. BELL to be-
come the candidate of the Black Republicans his
only chance for the presidency. Which knows best
what course that party may pursue, the Era or the
Banner2
The Banner evidently overlooked the true bearing
Of the paragraph it copies from the Era, in its
iety to show that it had abused the Black Republi
Gems Its columns ought to have shown that, with
out resort to the exscting comments of an sboli-
zionist. We read the paragraph it copies in
different sense: showing Mr.. BELLS southern
friends that they must yield everything if they ex.
pect their favorit, to be taken up by the Black Re-
publicans We have thought the yielding had been
carried much too far already Let US see the effect
Of the Era's threat on the Banner in the future

length Of the trading off and disregard Of the he
publican State Ticket in that County on account On
a local feud. 1t was the same in Genesee, Mont

Our correspondent asks what is the remedy 'or
the nomination of unworthy, immoral, OBNOXIOUS
candidates. We answer-Just vote against Them
Never stay away from the polls because bad men
are in nomination-neyer swop votes for or against
them-but just vote them square down. This pro-
cess will always be found efectual, while trading

We do not think any good would result from Pad

Ma.amoras The bolder had entered into mill

had dispatched n messenger to General Iwiggs,
commanding the United States forces in Texas,
then at San Antonio, asking for assistance. The
General replied that the forces at his disposal were
unite insufficient for the Indian hostilities
in which he was engaged, and he could therefore
do nothing. This indeed was case IN which II
was the business Of the State OF Texas to defend
its OWN citizens against the attack of outlaws and
robbers. But if any application was made to the
State authorities of Texas il does not appear To
have been attended with any success. More recent
accounts which come down to the I'd instant repre-
sent the people of Brownsville as in imminent
danger On the oath of October, they had marched
out with 100 men, cannon, and a howitzer, IN
homes of dispensing the outlaws, but had fallen into
an ambuscade and had been put to flight with the
loss of their artillery nine men killed, and four
wounded. A general panic prevailed at Browns
VILE and the steamer which brought these accounts
brought en- application to the city OF New-or-
leans for hundred men to assist IN the
defense of the place. 1t also appears that
an agent dispatched to Washington with an account
of their desperate condition. had reached that CITY,
and in consequence of his representations, tee-
graphic orders have just been dispatched to Ba-
ton Rouge and New. Orleans for the embarka-
ton for Brownsville of a company of United States
Artillery stationed at the former place.
1t is certainly extraordinary that the authorities
of Texas should have done nothing for the sup
preston of this local insurrecton, but should leave
the good people of Brownsville to send all the way
TO New-Oreans and Washington for assistance.
Texas is one of those States which has clustered
considerably about dissolyng the Union, but, II her
efficiency in the matter of this Brownsville affair Is
to be taken as criterion, she is hardly yet in po-
sition to set up for herself.

The result of the New-YOrk election must
think. convince our Sham Democratic politicians
that the reign of terror by which they have so long
managed to force themselves upon reluctant and
Disguised people has at last come to an end. For
years past, their great receipt for keeping them
selves in power has been, not any merit OF their
own, but the chance of danger 10 the Union should
anybody else be substituted in their place as the Gus
todans of the power of the General Government.
During the late canvass, the leading newspaper
supporter, in this city, of the Sham-Democratlc
nominations has freely admitted the gross rotten
ness and corruption Of the Sham-Democratic party,
and the general wOrthessness of the candidates
presented by that party for the sufrages OF the
people Yet, at the same time it has loudly called
on the good people of the State of New-fork to
intrust their State affairs to the keeping OF these
conlessedly worthless nominees of confessedly
rotten and corrupt party, in order to quiet the
minds of the Virginians, and to prevent the Har-
per's Ferry affair from being made the occasion of
a dissolution of the Union. The people Of New
York were told that TO sustain the Republican
ticket, was to take upon themselves the response
bility not only of John Browns raid into Virginia,
but of secret organized conspiracy to produce
slave instructions, and the most scandalsus and
INSCRIPTIONS means were resorted to for fixing
upon the leaders and the doctrines Of the Republi-
can party the stigma of John Browns fsnatcism
and folly The result of the election has shown
that this frightening process has had its day and
will answer no longer The whole force OF it, con-
cenirated upon Gov. Seward has proved total
failure. Ii the Sham Democrats wish to make
any impression upon the people of the State OF
New-York, they must adopt some other method
han that of appealing to their fears.

KANSAS FRUITS.

The fruits of the great Sham Democratic scheme
of forcing Slavery upon Kansas by the employment
of fraud and force seem oil to have rpened at once.
We have Kansas adopting Free-State Constitu-
ton by an overwhelming majority of her inhabit-
ants and about to come into the Union the most
decidedly Anti-Slayery in her sentiments of any
State in the Coniederacy. The appearance of her
Senators at Washington will no doubt cause some
very wry faces among the Sham Democratic men,
beers of that body, but We much doubt II they VIII
muster the courage to carry out the programme OF
the last Congress, and to refuse Kansas admission
into The Union till she shall first conform to
the terms they then prescribed. simultaneously
with this triumph of Free Labor in Kansas, we see
Virginia drawing upon herself at Harper's Ferry
an outbreak Of the fanatica hatred of Slavery
which the whole progress of the crusade against
Kansas tended so naturally to generate. 1t Is true
that in q material point of view Virginia escapes
easly. But her citizens suffered terrible fright
and their conduct thus far in relation to that affair
has not tended to strengthen their moral
position As third result of the conspiracy against
Kansas, and the attempt to barter away the intro
duction of Slavery there for Presidential nominal
ion, we see Mr.. Douglas, the chief author and
advocate of the plot, completely fallen from the
eminent political position which he then occupied,
desperately clingng with one hand and his head
scarcely above water to the Cincinnati platform,
and begging amid the boots and deriSon Of hisformer
warm Southern friends for permission to be reckoned
as one of the party. Instead of debating terms to
the Charleston Convention, as even short time
since it was thought he might do, he is now without
power or influence, and politically helpless as
possible. Finally We have the triumph of RePubll-
can principles through the whole of the North SO
glorousy concluded by the results of the election
in this State, thus consolidating the strength Of the
Republicans, and opening the way to similar Ma
tional triumph year hence Truly, the Kansas
outrage has been speedily and signally avenged.

THE BROwNsvILLE INsURRECTION.

Ii is now month or more since news reached US
of an alarming state of things at Brownsville IN
Texas, on the north bank Of the Rio Grande. On
the 2Sth Of September, that town was attacked BY
band of fllibusters, headed by one Cortinas,
person Of Mexican blood, but whom the annexation
of Texas had made citizen Of the United States,
and whose followers were principally persons OF the
same class. Except a very narrow strip on the
Rio Grsnde, the whole of that southern district oil
Texas il n mere desert without inhabitants, and the
people of Brownsville, Fort Brown being without
any garrisos, proved no match for their assailants
The invaders took military possession OF the town,
killed FIVE Of the citizens, broke open the jail aud
released the prisoners. In this emergency, the good
people Of Brownsville appealed for aid 10
the Mexicans Of Matamoras, on the opposite
side of the river, who lent them body Of Men-
can troops as a temporary garrison for Fort
Brown. A Mexican officer. after parley with tho
asssionts, persuaded them to quit the town. They
