A New Tune.

The leaders of tie Republican party
have lately beer urging upon the Border
Slave States the policy Of liberating, or
emoncipatiug, their slaves. To this the
Baltimore correspondent of the Tribune en-
ters very emphatic protest as follows;
81 notice, of late, that our philanthro.
psts are more than usually given to harp
upon this string. DO they not knew that,
in this thing, they run counter to our
strongest prejudices? lC il the very thing
we do want. live are TO have change
in our system of labor, upon this great
scale, we want to retain our negro popula-
ton, infinite y prgteriag free black labor 10 free
,rbHe labor. The negro is native
to our soil, and much more to our liking
than the same number of Irish or German
laboreis would be. And if ever emanci-
patton should take place in the Slave
States, the present master race will never
consent, in my opinion, 10 the removal OF
the emancipated."
The song of the Republican party dur
ing the Kansas troubles, was, that slavery
must be kept out Of that Territory for the
purpose of "dedicating it to freedom. y
Free homes for free lato!, and nothing
less would be acceptable to these especial
fri,ndsll) Of the laboring classes.
Now, according to this writer, the negro
if freed, would be preferred ty these phil
anthropists, and they would be "much
German laborers would be-"
This is, undoubtedly, an honest state
ment of the case, and just so long as the
leaders of the Republican party can hood
wink ard deceive the laboring classes
the Irish and German--to assist them in
their darling object tho freedom Of the
slsyes-they will continue to practice all
kinds of iinpesiuous upon then and as

Party First : Country Afterwards.

Nothing in the history Of tho world can

Here is truly remarkable confession
and no less remarkable admission. In

hopeless ruin-that President Lincoln
possesses this saving powcr-a power
which, if he could exercise, would i'm,

Recent Elections.

The ANNUAL elections for State officers
and members Of Congress, took place in
Connecticut On the l,t and in Rhode Isl.
and on the Sd inst. In the former State
the Republicans elect their Governor by a
majority of about 1000, and majority of
the Legislature, but lose two members of
Congress lincons majority in Novem-
Der last was about 7000-the Democrats
polling about 5000 more, and the Repub-
lcans tout cO0O votes less, than they did
ther.
In Rhode Island the Republicans have
suffered signal rebuke, the Democrats
and Union men electing their Governor
by lG44 majority, Il majority OF the legis-
latu?c, and both members Of Congress,
William +. Sheffield and Geo II. Brown,
defeating Robinson and Drayt two moro
of the mot another inch" breed of the
last Congress. The majority for l.ir ccln
in this State was 1857, showing n Repub-
licon loss ofG,ISl in poll of %, 600 votes.
/ These are the first State elections since
I the Inauguration of Lincoln. The evidence
of thorough reaction in public senti,
ment, and ofan urequivocal rebuke Of the
Sectional Republican party, is beyond dis.
pute. Out Of SIR Congressman brought
before their constituents to give an ac,
count Of their stewardship, four have beer
condemned as unfaithrul servants. And
thus would it be everywhere, if the people
had the opportunity TO speak.
The recent municipal elections in 81
Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and othei
Western and Northern cities, show results
equally gratifying to the Democracy and
the friends of peace and harmony.
10 escape similar, yet still more en-
phatic, rebuke in Philadelphia, the pres

the troops from Font Sumter, have been
announced as if "by authority But
