Opposition gain in one month.

Opposition gain in one month. .......,. $3.50
Thus We see that in one month after the
effects Of Lincoln's election began to be felt
there was gain in favor Of the Union in seven
local elections Of $500.
Nor IL II in New England alone that this
change is to be found; some Of the republican
towns OF our own State have experienced a
similar reaction. Take the river town Of Hud-
son ior example, which for years past has al
vsy4 been swept by the republicans, and which
gave Lincoln handsome majority; yet at the
clarler election Of the 4th Of this month il gave
an the local Offices, except that Of - and

we estimate the temper o. the South rightly,
the President elect will receive . reply similar
to the rebuke administered to Bet<zebub.
We think finally, that every sensiSle person
will agree with us in the opinion that, instead
Of beating about the bush and puzzling people
with diplomatic questions, Mr.. Lincoln should
throw off the mask, and declare boldly, faith
fully and fully the details Of the platform upon
which he intends to carry on the government.
1t is utterly absurd for him, or any one else, TO
expect that any Southern man will take ONCE
under a President who has been elected upon
a platform hostile to the South, and who re-
fuses to declare his opinions in advance. 1t
will not do to say that Mr.. Lincolns speeches
contain his views. The country is in quite a
different position now TO that when these
speeches were made. What the people wish
to know is the opinion of the Presi-
dent elect upon the present crisis in
our national affairs, and what will be his policy
with regard to secession. Then we can very
soon ascertain whether any Southern gentle
men of character will accept places in his
Cabinet. Every one will be disappointed with
Mr.. Lincoln who employs his time in asking
questions, when he should be engaged in pre-
pairing an answer to the most important query
which the history Of the world has ever pre-
scented. 1t is not too late, however, for the
President elect to redeem himself in the public
opinion. The grand question is: has he pluck
enough to do it? Remembering the dangers of
procrastination, and the value of bold words
spoken in season, Mr.. Lincoln should delay
no longer. Let him labor while it is vet day,
for behold the night cometh, when no man shall
work.

tits fortunate that nobody attaches Eny dssrse
Of Importance to the belligerent proclsrations
Of Webb But he echoes the sentiments Of Sierra
tor Hale and of other republican leaders, and Of
republican organs, who are supposed to speak
by authority. He echoes, indeed, the views and
predictions uttered by Mr.. Lincoln himself in
Kansas year ago, in anticipation Of the cleo
ton of republican President in 1860, and of
Southern movements of rebellion in cOnse-
quence of his election.
The crisis, then, demands from Abraham
American people Of his views and purposes
touching these Southern disunion movements.
He has been elected President by q large ma
jority Of the vote of the electoral colleges; but
it is purely sectional and artificial majority.
The popular vote Of the Union presents posi-
tive majority of nearly million against the
"irrepressible conflict" Of the republican party
and against Mr. Lincoln as its representative.
He was the candidate of that party; but on the
4th Of March he will assume the office of Pre-
sdent, not of the republican party, but of the
United States. His obligations will extend, not
to one section, but to all sections Of the coun
try. What we want to know, then, is whether
his views and intentions cover the policy Of
Cancellation or coercion, in reference to these
Southern disunion movements. If Mr.. Lincoln
would enter upon his administration with some
prospect of good results, he will not hesitate to
relieve the public mind Of these apprehensions
that with his Inauguration, to maintain the
Union, he will plunge the country into civil
war.

REAcrToNARY TROUBLES II NApr.Es.--It would

ropa that the partial risings in the Abruzzi, OF
which We had previously received accounts,
were features Of general rcactionary move

royalists, and no, republican, as supposed. In
the city Of Naples, on the 9th, similar out

TuJyLow WEeC IN TRouBIE.-Thurlow Weed
has got into peck On trouble with his republi-
can friends since he suggested the policy of
Cancellation and forbearance on the part Of the
North in fAe present alarming crisis. Not only
has he been denounced and his propositions
repudiated by the JOURNALS and leaders Of the
republican party, but they are now conspiring
to deprive him of his position as lobby manager,
and to appoint new State barber In his place.
1t appears, by a circular just Issued. that the
republicans are about to start a new paper at
Albany, in opposition to Weeds Jour sat-a
paper which they promise shall be condn cted
in the service of the party, without tempo
rizing concessions or vacillating expediencea"
What hard hit at poor Thurlow. And this new
journal is to be edited by the Canal Appraiser.
Thomas B. Carroll. Reference as to the enter
prise is made to Greeley, Bryant, d. d. Field,
William Curtis Noyes, George Opdyke, and
other leading republicans in this city, and .
host Of republican politicians in the rural dis
tricts. 1t is evident that the great lobby king,
State barber and general manager at Albany,
is in bad way. 1t looks as if he was alto
gether thrown overheard by his ungrateful
friends; and this movement, upon the whole,
indicates-what is of far more Importance than
the fortunes Of Mr.. Weed-that the leading re-
publicans of this State are resolved to persist
in nou-conciliatory course towards the South
and to push the country to ruin rather than
yield one particle of their fanatcal dogmas.
But the result Of this onslaught on Weed may
be a tremendous split in the republican ranks
in New York, which is but prelude to gene
raj smash up Of the party all over the country,

THE HOME OF MY cHII,DHooD.

The following is of the sweetest ballads of the
lay, and Carries with it moral which will find the
leart of many wanderer:
Oh home of my boyhood, my country home
love it the better wherever I roam;
The lure of proud cities, the wealth of the main,
Have never a charm like my native plain.
There waved the old ems the cottage lined streets;
The roar ofthe river the forest crowned hill,
The starlight that glistened they dwell with still.
Oh home of my boyhood, my own country home,
! love it better wherever roam,
The lure of proud cities, the wealth Of the main
Have never a charm like my native plain.
I've wandered for thro this cold hearted world
And rode every sea where the sails are unfurled;
Eve met with the great and the noble of earth
But have never forgotten the home ofmy birth.
The laugh of my sister, my brothers high glee,
Are echoing round me wherever be;
The thousand bright gances from young madens eyes
Are stars in heaven, when grief clouds arise.
The voice of my fat her, with deep manly tone
There's music abo ut it other have known;
The smile of my mother, that love lighted-brow-
Oh mother-dear mother-they dwell with me now!
love them-I love them the days of the past,
And nothing shall brbe me from keeping them fast:
o home of my boyhood, my own rural home.
| love it better wherever | roam.

when he came out he called my attention to the
fact that his hat was covered-literally covered
with very fine sand, resembling fine sand paper

is not fraud, but necessity from the soil upon
which it is produced.

CRACKING THE WHIP.

The Albemarle Southron, new Opposition
paper published at Murfreesboro, in Hon. VIM N.
II. Smiths congressional district, comes out in its
issue of the 10th in more than one article with
reference to that gentlemans course in connection
with the pledges and statements made on his be-
half in the House of Representatives, in virtue of
which he secured the support of several gentlemen
who otherwise would not have voted for him for
Speaker. These pledges were to the effect that Mr.
smith had not been member of the so-ealed
"Ameriean party"-did not subscribe to its dis
tinctive tenets-was opposed to its proscriptive
features etc etc, some statements going so far as
to say that Mr. Smiths friends gave private assur-
ances that Mr. Smith said he chad denounced the
American party"
The whole tenor of the conversation in Congress
on the memorable Friday, when Mr. Smith came so
near being made Speaker, certainly goes to show
that Mr. Smiths friends did, by authority from
him, and by his assent expressed by silence, repu-
diate, on his behalf, any connection or ailiation
with the american party" or any sympathy with
its peculiar doctrines, which were then and there
denounced as proscri ptive and intolerant.
1t is on this account that the 'Southron' comes
out in demand for an explanation from its Repre-
sentative. 1t demands that Mr. Smith shall, in his
place in the Hyuse of Representatives, publicly
explain himself. "What does Nr Smith mean by
being opposed to the proscriptive features of the
American party AS he mas ueclafed tlaC ne
has been IAN unwavering old line Whig,' what
principle, if any, of the American party does he
endorse?" So asks the 'Southron, and it plainly
intmates, IN long leading article which appears
to speak by authority, that unless they
ed satisfactorily, Mr. S. will find himself thrown
overheard in favor of "a Rayner,a Pool, Handy,
Barnes" who, with many others, care not ashamed
to defend the principles Of the American party"
We fear that Mr Smiths liberality has got him
into bad scrape with the party that elected him.
1t might be advantageous to catch votes for him
''old line Whig," but to him if he really
acts up to that character in Congress, is any
thing else in practice than member of the Ameri-
party, and endorser of its peculiar doctrines
which are not Whig doctrines, while the platform
of that party openly that it has rsen upon
the ruins" Of the Wing party equally with those
of the Democratic party.-IW. journal.
