Our FOREIGN TRADE Not long since,
says the New York Express, certain class
of financial optimists were at some pains to
impress upon the public mind the conviction
that, as the summer wore on, our heavy ship
ments Of specie To Europe. as well as our E.
normous mportatons of foreign merchan-
disc, would certainly cease, and that all APP
prchensions to the contrary were but old TO-
gy miseivings. Well, the summer is wear
ing away fist, and in six weeks time, or less,
autumn will be here, but. some how or 9TH
er, almost as much specie as ever continues
to 60, while the imports seem to be multiply
ing rather than diminishing. The steamers
took out on Saturday nearly two millions and
a half cash-while the importations for the
week exhibit an aggregate OF between six
and scven millions.
If there We're any pros,,ccs Of ready mar
ket abroad. at paying prices, for the heavy
surplus of breadstuffs we are certain of hav.
ing next fall and winter, or II there were a
market for anything else we have to sell be-
sides cotton lat declining prieesl these pecu-
liar features of otir foreign trade might create
no uneasiness-but in the absence of any
such prospect, they start the suggestion
whether we are not crushing it" little too
fast, and laying the foundation for another

From The New York Express:
Reasons why no NOrtIlen Cam
didate Can be elected to the
Presidency i'm 1860,

Having carefully studied the facts and fig
figures in connection with our prospects for G.
Letting Northern candidate to the Presden-
cy in 1860, / beg briefly to present the fea-
sons by which am compelled to arrive at
this conclusion.
First, then, no Northen man can be NOM
mated who does not stand on a sectional
platform this necessarily raises sectional
issue and forces the conservative elements OF
the Wings and Americans, North, to the sup
port of the Democratic nominee.
This sectional issue will necessarily unite
all the Southern States, including Maryland,
that was against them in lS56, making 40
ELECTORAL votes. California and Oregon will
make 1877. Kansas will lie in the Union bv
that time, which will make 5o2 ELECTORAL
votes in all. 152 of these will be necessary
to elect. The Democrats start with 1917,
consequently they will only want rs North
en- ELECTORAL votes to succeed.
In 1856 New Jersey gave Buchanan As,
94S votes; Fillmore, "a, lis, and Fremont,
2s,S3s; making totsl of 99,396, Of which
49,69s is just one half, consequently the De-
mocracy would only want 1856 votes to
give them the State. Does any one doubt,
that between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, the latter would obtain five times that
number, If not geeasly more. This then,
would give the Democracy aSt electoral
votes.
In Pennsylvania Fremont 1880 votes.
buchanan, 2S0,7l0 and Fillmore So, IFS,
making total of 460,89b. In this State we
should have to Make gains from the Demo-
cratic party to carry it, with the combined
vote given to Fremont and Fillmore
In a sectional contest between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, it is known very
large proportion Of the s2,l75 votes given
Fillmore, would DO given to the Democratic
candidate, which would give them the State,
by a large majority, This then would add
q more electoral votes, making 16l--aine
more than is necessary for an election.
In Illinois, Fremont had s6, Is9 votes.
Buchanan l05,34S, whilst the balance of
power, amounting to 37,444 votes, remained
with the Wings and Americans ofthat State.
the greatest part Of which would he given
for the Democratic nominee, and this adds
IL moreS votes, making-to say nothing of
Indiana, which, at best, is doubtful State,
even if the American, Republican and Wing
vote was united as, in that State Fremont
had 94,475, Buchanan 1860, and FILLMORE
22,36S; which, added to Fremo,ts yyte,
docs not equal that of Buchanan
On the other hand, by uniting the Repub-
lican, American and Wing votes on gen.
eral opposition ticket, We can carry every
Free State, with the exception of California
Oregon, and perhaps Indiana which, inclu-
ding Kansas, would leave 1862 electoral votes
,oithout the aid Of Kentucky, Tennessee, Loai-
siana and Virginia, which last would be far
from certain for the Democracy, as may be
seen from the recent Gubernatorial vote of
Cha. State. HANCOCK.

DR-A Marylrnd contemporary, of the Dem
ocratic stripe, felictates himself upon the
happy state of affairs existing incur country,
when contrasted with the sangninary conflicts
that are now drenohing the soil of Italy with
human blood. He tells lis that
The mind can scarcely grasp the magniii-
eient career before us, if by wise aud pru-
dent coursels our union is preserved and
harmonious action maintained. But if with
sacrilegious and fratricida hands the great
fabric of the Union, erected by the valor and
wisdom of our fathers, is torn down, and in
sbe place of one beauteous and harmonious
whale, our country shall be separated into
rival and hostile powers, who can tell, or who
can even foreshadow the horrors which await
us and our children. What wo,.M he the
contrast then between our coantry as it now
Is, and may continue to be under the bless
ings OF Federal Union, and what is sure to
be, II the mad schemes of fanahical demd-
0oQsies and disunionists shall be carried out?"
We agree with Our contemporary, that a
career of unprecedented glory awaits us, if
rise and prudent counse!s prevail, and that
unexampled horrors will follow dismem-
berment Of the Union. And in Wow of the
momentous results that hang upon the issu-
e. Of the future, It becomes us to pause amid
tho sngry strife Of contcndhg parties. to see
where the rock is, upon which we are likely
70 split-to see what it is that threatens our
existence as Zone people," SO that being
5orewarncd We may be fore-armed. The
danger to DO apprehendcd is in the "mad
schemes of fdnatical demogogues and dis
snionists." Where, then. are the disanionists
70 be found? We answer in the folds of
that Democratic party which, to-day, hangs
- dead weight upon the body polite.
The red.hot disXnionists are R. Barn we'll
Rhstt. L. NJ. Keitt. w. L. Yancey JEFF. Da-
VI, and host of other deifed democratic
Southern leaders. "lf then, the people of

ftown down such men, and the party whose
principles they represent.

sssu,s opinions in regard to the disunion ten
