the Importance oftFo late loss of two Sen
aters-from,tAe State Of Oregon, by, a COZ
rupt coalition between the Black Repub-
licans and Douglas Fl'eesoilers But a
oursory glance at the probable condition
of parties in the Senate. after the 4th Of
March next, willssatisfy any one that the
Democratic majority will be 50 small as
not to be entirely reliable, and that, in a
short time thereafter, tho Black Rcpubi-
CANS will probably have control of the Sen
: ate as we'll as the House Of Represents
tives.
After the admission of Kansas, there
will be sixty-oight Senators, of which
thirty-fve.is 4 majority. At the begin
Ming of the next Administration the Dem
oerats will have thirty Senators from the
Southern States, and six from the North
esrn, viz one from New Jersey, one from
Minnesota, two from Indiana, and two
!. from California, making total of thirty
Six, OF only one more than majority.
We have classed among the Democrat
ic Senators, Mr.. Kennedy, of Maryland,
who is not a Democrat, but who will al
ways be found voting with the South
against the Black Republicans; and we
have excluded Mr.. Douglas who will act
hereafter with the Black Republican par
ty, and Mr.. Bigler, who ocannot be re-elect-
ed this winter, owing to the Douglas di-
vision in Pennsylvania, which will give
the Legislature to the Black Republicans.
Hence it will be seen that's change Of
three will give the Black Republicans con-
:. troll of the Senate, and Mr.. Douglas can
and will doubtless bring about that change
at the next election in New Jersey, Indi-
ana and Minnesota.
Not long since there was an overwhei-
ming majority in the House of Rcprcsen-
tatives, which was swept away at the
next election by the treachery Of Stephen
a. Douglas who joined the Black Repub-
licans in war upon Democratic Adj
ministration, and thereby carried over a
large portion Of the Northern Dcmocra-
cyyyinto the ranks Of the Black Republi-
can can party. Yet conservative men conso-
Ted themselves with the reflection that
the Senate could defeat any unconstitu-
tional legislation on the part of the House
Of Representatives When it became ey-
ident that Mr.. Douglas, by his course in
the present campaign, was striving to
break up the Democratic party, and elect
Black Republican to the Presidency,
and that there were strong probabilities
that. he would succeed. mon. still hoped
that no harm coula! d6nc, and criod,
slook to the Senate"
THAT last bulwaTk is about to be swept
away by the action Of the Douglasites,
and should Lincoln be. elected, he will
have both branches Of Congress favorable
to him before his term is half finished.
With the executive and legislative depart
ments of the government under their con-
troll, the Black Republicans can easily
carry out Mr.. Seward s favorite ideas, and
remodel the judiciary SO as to abolitionize
it also, Every department of the govern
ment will then be in the hands of the
B1ack Republicans, and Lincoln's and Sc
wards irrepressiblo conflict " will thcn
have nothing to oppose its progress.
These things call for serious reflection
on the part of those who would preserve
the. equal rights of the States What
protection can there be for our rights,
with every branch of the government in
the hands of the enemies of the Constitr-
ton and of the rights of the Southern
States? -
