WADE ON THE FUTURE OF THE
'.rA |... JTNION


The FIRE eaters Of the South have not salts.
fed themselves with things past and present,
but have boldly encroached upon the regions
of the future. Airy Imagination has hence had
no little share in their budget of arguments
and reasons. Many man has been misled
by these fancifal portraits of a future of which
not one idea in thousand stands chance Of
ever being realized. Mr.. Wade, in his unan.
swerable speech, delivered yesterday in the
Senate, undertook to compete with the seces.
sionsts in this assault on things to come, and,
We think, with infinitely more good effect than
they. He said that he felt the more reconciled
to the proposed loss Of the Gulf States, from the
consideration that the States which would be left
would be Immediately put into position to &C.
cept the protectorate Of Mexico, which had been
hitherto withheld from us by reason of the
alienation engendered in that country by the
ultra slavery and flibus,ering policy of this
Government. With the Gulf States gone, this
alienation would cease, and we should then
enter into a close connection with Mexico, in.
finitely more profitable than we had ever yet
enjoyed. II our mercantile classes Of the North
could only understand and profit by these aus.
picious opportunities, their advantage would
be as seven to one over any losses they might
sustain from the secession Of the South. Eng.
lands trade with Mexico is the consequence Of
the repulsive policy Of our Government; once
that policy is changed, our trade with that peo.
pie would be indefinitely augmented, to the
prosperity and happiness of both nations.

LARGE AccEssIoNs AND THEIR CAUSE.
Not day passes but we receive intel
ligenco from different portions of the
State of accessions to the democracy from
the ranks of the black republicans. 1t is
not to be denied that there were many
democrats who went over TO the opposi-
ton in 1854 and 1856, really thinking
that the democratic party had become a
pro-slavery party. Now, however, when
they SEQ a southern sectional party take
the very fundamental principle of black
republicanism, Congressional Intervention,
as the basis Of its organization, thoy
awake TO tho truth, and are coming back
TO the only true doctrine, non-interference
by Congress with slavery in State or Ter
ritory. There must be something radi-
cally wrong in black republican principles
when the southern extremists and disu-
nionists adopt them into their platform as
the best means of attaining their aims.
Another thing that brings daily access
ions to the democratic ranks is the fact
that the black republican party of this
State is one of dishonesty, corruption and
fraud, and tho democratic party one Of
honesty, integrity and economy. The
black republicans favor high taxes; The
democratic party low taxes. Blair will
run riot with the public money just as
Wisner's administration has done that he
is defending, while Barry will retrench ex
penses and bring the public credit back tc
the same healthy condition in, which he
left it. These are the reasons whv hon
est men arc leaving tho black republicans
by scores and hundreds and uniting them
selves with the democracy.

Douglas has always been in favor of and
has always voted for such a law. Lin

the black republican candidate for Vice

THE STATE SECURITIES.

n "a "a Il
Mckinney has gone to New York, but
for what purpose is not stated. Itispos1
sible, however, that his visit may have
reference to the mortgage security which
was given last winter for the repayment
of the fifty thousand dollar "deposit,"
which has been due now for more than
month. The administration and all its
supporters had apparently forgotten there
was such a thing in existence, until we
caledtheir attention 10 it the other day,
and stated for their benefit that it was
due several weeks since. The public have
been assured time and again that the
State should lose nothing; ample SECURE
ty had been taken, and all that. Now
let us see whether an attempt even is
made toward enforcing the securities so as
to recover tho money that was stolen, or
whether those black republicans who have
been making these assurances were lying
ly deceiying the people. Now that Nc
Kinney is in New York, and so long as
he is travelling at the expense Of the pco-
pic let him sec what can be done with
this g ample security" Of which SO much
has been said. For his information we re-
capitulatc the securities that have been
accepted, but all Of which have thus far
been repudiated by Hazelton d Co.. Oh.
