clapped her hands gleefulIy, Jumped upon the
porch bench in ecstaCy of delight, and cried out,

Some of the Prospective Results
of kincoin'a Election.

Should Lincoln be chosen President, there
will be a sad and mournful procession of d.
lapidated office holders from the various de.
partments. Protected as Mr. Lincoln would
be, from the avalanch of southern applica-
tions, which has rolled in so terribly upon
every new President since the organization
ofthe government, and no doubt rescued by
patriotic designations on the part of those
who declnre that his election will dissolve
the Union, it will be most significant spec.
tacle to see men who have grown gray in
ofice-who are, indeed, the checks, stops,
and obstacles Of that great circumlocution
system which has become vast evil here
turning their trembling steps to the homes
they so rarely see, and to the avocations they
have so long abandoned. We shall then as
certain whether certain men are indispensa-
ble in the management of public affairs
whether the Union will collapse like great
balloon, when the gas of the official fire-eat-
ers is withdrawn from Washington, and
whether new men and fresh men may not be
able to prove that this republic depends upon
no particular individual, and that even a
change, no matter how drastic and purging
it may sometimes be, may not save bilious
and constipated system.
The venerables who carry gold canes along
the avenue every day at 3 o'clock P. NJ, at
about 81 800 year piece, and who have
grown gouty before dusty desks and in cosy
snuggeries, realize the possibility Of a new
regime. Their dissolution of the Union is
their removal from office their idea of the
destruction of the democratic rarty is the
receipt of yellow envelope enclosing a po-
lite request to leave, and their only violation
of the Constitution is the apprehension tina
the places which know them now may, after
the 4th of March. 1861, know them no more
forever Wash. Cor. Phil Press.

tism in the United States-a society, that
under the presidency of the veteran suppor-
ter of despotism, the willy Metternich, has
sent perhaps millions of money to this coun-
try-are not forgotten. Men inquire if the
time has come for bold stroke to be made
for the supremacy of Catholicism in this
land; and instinctively, almost, glance
across the ocean to that active Propaganda
as the source whence the money for power
ful but concealed attempt upon American
liberty is to come.
1t is well that all citizens should ask why
Judge Douglas draws about every priest,
bishop. layman and newspaper of the Cath

ton can not grow out of his reputed Democ-
racy, because there are other Democrats as
good as he to whom they are not devoted at
ALL Who has ever known Of the atten-
dance of Archbishop Hughes upon partisan
meetings, except in this one case that we
have cited, in which Judge Douglas inter-
ests were at stake. It cannot be personal
friendship; the Archbishop has greater
friendship for Mr.. Seward than for the Sen
ator from Illinois; but when hid he ever 60
to a Republican mass meeting to forward MI.
Stewards claims? What secret influence
is powerful enough to array an united
Church under the Judges banners, and
make the members as one man in his sup
port? These are questions which concern
the voters; and at the risk of being charged
with desire to bring theology into politics,
we are going to ask them, and ask others to
ask them, too, and keep asking until the

Douglas should be defeated and this govern
ment still remain in Protestant control!
