sssy-rhe Opposition have victory in thel

EsS"The Opposition have victory in their
hands, if they are wise enough to take ad-
vantage Of their opportunities. If they
fail in 1860 il will be their own tault. The
signs are propitious. A higher than hu-
man power has thrown confusion into the
rsnks of their enemies. The corrupt and
tyrannical sham Democratic party is rent in
twain, and if the Opposition do not so con-
duct themselves as TO overthrow the OdiOus
power which so misrules the country, they
will be SHINING deeply, in the eyes of God
and men.
Now is the golden opportunity Let the
Opposition unite on Judge Bates or Judge
Mclean, and victory is theirs There is a
large majority Of people in this country on
posed to Modern Democracy, and they ram be
united in a common effort for its overthrow.
if scherning and selfish politicians do NOT
iefcat this holy object. Let the people order
otherwise, ami all will be well. let them
send up their instructions TO Chicago in
thunder-tones which cannot be misunder-
stood.

EfIJ Read the article headed I" The Presi-
dency-Judge Mclean, from the New
hampshire Sentinel. The view taken by
the writer, Of the Presidential question, is in
the main correct. Next to Judge Bates,
Judge Mclean would be the strongest man,
and the one most likely to unite the whole
Opposition to the Administration. Down
i'll Southern Indiana, the nomination of
either would create great enthusiasm and
give general satisfaction.

Ses~ The gainesville (O) Telegraph, issued
up in the hot-bed of Abohtionism, publish
ell an article on the 26th of April, scolding
the Evansville journal and the Conserva-
tives OF Indiana for insisting on Edward
Bates or John Mclean, or some other equal
ly safe, experienced, aud conservative man,
for the Presidency. The Telegraph then
goes on to say =.
One small State, of no especial influence,
says to the Great Republican party, take the
candidate that is given yon, or else the we'll
expressed wish OF the party shall be defeat
ed it it can be done.
The editor OF that paper win find
that Indiana as a State Of considerable
influence at Chicago, and amongst
all well-informed politicians. She may
seem otherwise 10 the self-suificient
and single e-idea'd editor of the 7els-
graph, who perhaps has never been
out of sight OF Lake Erie, and dosen't
know anything of the sentiment of the
people beyond The limits of Cheesedom; but to
States, she is of so much Importance that,
together with Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Illinois, they know she viii in all pro
liability have the choosing of the next Presi-
dent of the United States.
The paper from which we quote, talks
heroichlly about suffering defeat rather than
sacrificing principle, AMI all that sort OF
thing. This sounds very well perhaps to
fanatics but not so to- sensible, we'll balanced
/ men, who regard s'lccess over corruption
and tyranny as duty, and means ofinsii
tuting and perpetuating more benign poll
( cy for the government OF the country thar
now prevails.
: We believe that "a Conservative nomina
] tion viii be made SIT Chicago, in spite of tn
rawlings OF fanatics. The signs of the time
