The spring EIecs,on. i'm indiana.

The returns from the township elections
throughout the State indicate that the conserva-
tive sentiment is largely in the ascendant. In
Montgomery county, for instance, we are in
formed that the Democrats and Union men have
elected the trustees in every township. In Lafay-
cite we notice that the same party elected their
trustees by about hundred majority Gen.
orally the elections did not involve political issues
and we may say tint there were but very few
eases in which party lines were closely drawn; but
still the drift clearly manfests that the people of
Indiana are conservative, and are decidedly in
favor of the adjustment Of the unfortunate Sec
tional difficulties between the North and South
by any honorable compromise which would heal
those divisions and restore harmony to the
nation There can be no doubt if the
CRrrrESDES amendment had been submit
ted 20 vote Of the people at the elections
on the lst inst. it would have carried by an over
whelming majority. A vote of that character
would have gone far to have secured the recon-
struction of the Government upon a satisfactory
basis A proposition Of that kind was, however,
voted down by the Republican Legislature. The
Republican members of that body seemed to pre-
fer disunion tounion, and were unwilling to take
any steps looking to concession and Cancellation,
without which it is useless to even think of re-
storing the relations which have heretofore existed
between the different sections of the country.

mereiaI Advertiser is that the line Of separation
should be drawn between the free and slave
States Or the writer of the letter expresses it
that all the slave States be requested to leave
us, and speedily as possible
We predict that within ninety days the whole
Republican press will hold this same positionl
We predict that the policy of the administration
will be shaped TO serve separation on the line be-
tween the free and slave States
This is the natural elimination of the Repub-
lican triumph.
The grand danger is that the separation will
be produced without the people of the North hav-
ing an opportunity TO avert it-Defroif Free

The Administration Mode of ConciI.
iafiOn.

The appointment Of the great high priest of
Abolitionsm on the Ohio Western Reserve
JOSHUA X. GrDDINGs-to the responsible and u-
crative post of Consul General to the British
Provinces, is justly regarded by the Southern
press as giving practical denial to all the pro-
LESSONS of Cancellation and peace that have been
put forth by the President with so much appa-
rent eamestness and sincerity. They have sub
stantial ground for complaint that the man whose
life has been passed in maligning Southern in
stitutiOns should be thus singled out for execu-
tive favor. An appointment more distasteful. if
not positively insulting to the South, could not
possibly have been made. From one of Mr.
GIDDISGs' published speeches we quote the fol-
lowing atrocious sentiment:
/ look forward to the day when there shall be a
servile instruction in the South; when the black
man, armed tcith British bayonetS and led on by
British officers, shall assert his freedom and wage
war of determination against his master; when
the torch of the incendiary shall light up the
towns and cities of the South, and blot out the
last vestige of slavery. And though | nav not
mock at their calamity, nor laugh when their
fear cometh, yet | will hail it as the dawn of n
political millennium.

rs Mr. CRTrTENDES, at Frankfort the other
day, in speaking of his resolutions of compro-
mise said: al believe if these measures, thus Of
fered had been at a suitable time promptly adopt
ed by the Congress of the United States, twould
have checked the progress of the rebellion and
revolution. and saved the Union" We believe
truer words were never spoken The folly, ig-
norance and recklessness of the Republican Leads
ers in Congress would neither accept them nor
allow the people a chance to say whether they
would accept them.

Theballis rolling. The Democracy and Union
men of Rhode Island have made a clean sweep.
Governor SrRAeuE is reelected by a large ma
jority. The Legislature is Union and Democratic
and two members of Congress of thesame
character are elected over the late Republi-
can members. The people every where, when
they get the opportunity, express themselves in
favor of compromise Of the political difficult
ties of the country, and if direct vote could be
had upon that issue, the majority would be over
