WAsHrNeroN, Jan.

A Republican caucus was spoken of for
tonight but on reflection none was thought
necessary. 1t is ascertained that there can
be no further concentration of the Southern
Opposition on Mr.. Hamilton whose vote
to-marrow will, according to the present in
dictions be diminished. Some Of the Re-
publicans have been canvassing to ascertain
whether more votes than Sherman has re-
ceived can be secured for Hickman, but, Of
this they cannot be satisfied,
At the National Union Executive Com
mittee meeting tonight, Mr.. Crittenden in
the chair, number Of encouraging letters
were read.

SERVED HIM RIeHT.-Our exchanges
give an account of a two legged brute who
travelled some distance to pit his dog
against another dog in fight. Whilst
the fight was going on, his owu dog, rem
dered frantic by the blows which he was
heaping upon him, sprang up and caught
him by the throat, killing him before his
hold was loesened. He was served exact
ly right, and we can wish every two legged
brute that engages in such scenes, no bet
ter luck.

~ There are set of scoundrels in the
South, aided by other scoundrels in the
North, who are making profitable thing of
kidnapping free negroes, and selling them
into slavery. The plan adopted is this:
Some of Uncle Sans Deputy Marslials
are found, who are willing to go into the
business; these fix upon some likely
free negro in the North, send description
of him to their Southern friends, who i'm
mediately come Oh and take him away by
force, claiming him as a Fugitive Slave
Once in the Slave States he is slave fol
life, unless he manage to escape.

~Attempts are making by a few
cast-off politicians at Washington, to or
ganize National Union or Peoples Party.
Senator Crittenden, of Kentucky, is at its
bead. The leaders have received, what
they conceive to be cheering evidence of
the ripening of the people for this new
party. We imagine that the thing will
not only be ripe, but rotten before the next
Presidential election.

southern Threats of Disanion.

The South is the spoiled child, black
though it be, Of Uncle Sans family. 1t
has sucked the sugar feat of office until
grown exacting and insolent, and threaten
TO quit if its mouth is forced off by the
election of Republican President. Let
us see little what the South has had and
now enjoys. Out of seventy-years of fed
eral administration closing with Mr.. Bu-
chanan's term, Southern men and slave
holders have held the Presidential reins for
forty-three years, or more Than twol thirds
of the time, and have directed them a
greater part of the remainder. The North
has submitted to this unequal distribution,
this will of the majority, checrfully and
Loyalty, without threat of nullifying the
decision of the ballot box by disanion.-
The South, however, now menaces the
North and the Union with furious mad
ness, because il is seriously proposed to
change the usual practice little. The
petted and spoiled shild acts the big b by
as well as BOBBY. -
In the other departments of the feJeial
government, the South, with population
of scarcely more than half that Of the
North, has enjoyed the same ascendency.
1t has had II out of the % Judges of
the Supreme Court; IA out of the l9 At
torney Generals; 81 oat of n Presidents
of the Senate; 81 out of 53 Speakers of
the House; and 80 out Of 134 Foreign
Ministers. It is high time the squalling
pet was choked off for season, and thor
oughly spanked if too obstreperous about
it.-Daly Leader.

@The Southern Fire Eaters in Con-
gress and out of ii, look with contempt
upon the ''Union Meetings held in few
of the Northern cities, for the purpose of
making the South believe that there is still
a large party in the North ready TO obey
its commands. The trouble is, that seryil-
ity was overdone at these meetings, and
the South well knows that men who will
lick the foot that spurns them, cannot be
men that will be of any use to them, be-
cause they have no influence at home.

/ 10 you believe it is nor necesSdry for the
Federal Government to intervene to pro-
tect the right of property in slaves in any
portion of the public domain
DO you believe it is necessary for the Fed
era Government to protect slave property in
the Territories, where there now exist Terri
torial laws excluding slavery?
DO yon believe Territorial laws TO exclude
slavery TO he unconstitutional do YOU be-
lieve the Supreme Court has pronounced
them unconstitutional
ITO you Imagine any contingency likely to
arise in which it wiH become neceSSarg for the
Federal Government to intervene to protect
slavery in any Territority now belonging to

tngency, and hog do you propose TO meet it
If you should elect Mr. Breckenridge, and
fail to get Congressional protection, what
will you then do?
How do You propose to give Congressional
protection TO slavery in the Territories-by
slave code, or by laws different from those
applicable to other kinds of property, or in
what manner?
VIII you please to specify case in which
you will demand Congressional protection ?
DO you believe the election of Lincoln

In the event of his election will YOU coun

VIII you counsel that the question of Mon

Are you for dissolution in case John Bell
