TIE SECOND OPPORTUNITY.

Neither the MAGNITUDE not the nature of
slavery IS such that we have no remedy but
to fold our hands and await the solution Of
the problem By the mysterious agency Of
Divine Providence. This waiting for the
extinction Of slavery By a succession Of
miracles, is pious resignation of the coun-
terfeit order, and most frequently urged By
those who never. teach or practice it on any
other subject. The evil, since the forma-
lion Of our Government. has not increased
so fast as the means for removing it
Seventy years ago the slaves in the Re-
public numbered onc-titth Of the
whole population now they are
but one eighth. Africa did not then
invite them to return. There was no asy-
1um for them in the West Indies. Central
America was almost unknown. Florida
belonged to Spain. The Republic was
very POOR. Yet every clcar-hcaded man
can now see, that if our grand fathers had
provided for the absolute extinction Of
slavery, their acts would have been the
cfoWning glory Of the eighteenth century.
And now for the second time the opportu-
nifty has come. Strength has taken the
place of weakness; wealth, :ot poverty
established fact, Of experiment; confidence
OF doubt; and if we hesitate and let the
time for action slip past our reach, posterity
will not tolerate the stupid plea Of isuo-
rance OF Tie knavish plea of vested rights,
but will set down this generation as lack
ing In faith, hope, -and courage, and as dis
tinguished for weakness, fckleness, aud
tTcachery,

FACTS WHICH CANNOT BE OVER
LOOKED

Wherever there is neither slavery nor pro
slavery sentiment, there is neither rebellion
ner treason. Wherever there is slavery
there are rebels; and wherever slavery has
friends, there is disioyalty to the Republic
There is no exception to this rule. It ap
plies not only to the South, but to the
North-not only to the entire States, but tt
subdivisions Of States. In Delaware
where the slaves are to the whole popula-
ton ss one to sixty, the traitors arc few
and timorous. Most Of them reside in
a single county; and that county
contains three-tourths Of the slaves in the
State. It is the same in Maryland; the
slave districts are the districts in
fected with treason Virginia, Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee these States
the dividing lines between loyalty and re-
bellion are still more plainly visible, and dis
tinguished By the same peeuliarity. Go In
to the planting regions Of the Cotton States,
where the sum of all viIlainies has done
its perfect work, where the human under
standing has become. so darkened that its
light is as darkness-and behold how trea-
son clusters around the slave shamb1es-
how patriotism is hushed into the silence
Of des:h-hoW the Union is become 8
kissing and q bye-word-how hatred Of
liberty eats into the soul Of the ruling caste,
EnaWs like the Worm which dieth not, and
burns like the fire which is not uuenched
And there are fools who say slavery is not
the cause of the Southern rebellion!

The steamer Shreveport left St. Louis, on
Wednesday, for the head waters of the Mis-
souri river, with party Of enigrants for the
Salmon river gold fields. Several other
steamers are to follow, the first Of which is
the Emile, booked for the Sth Of May. The
Democrat says:
The recent discoveries Of gold on Salmon
river, and other districts within easy reach of
the head Of the Missouri river navigation, has
at once directed attention to the Missouri as
safe, cheap, and available route to these re-
gion6--ayai1able for several months of every
year, invariably, and starting from the civ Ct
St: Louis, which cannot be surpassed in the
fitting out Of such expeditions as that which
has started, or will start to-day. Of course,
only Light draft steamers can reach the Falls
OF the Missouri Such boats can be furnished
here by the score at all times, and when the
trade assumes magnificent proportions, as it
undoubtedly will, a large class Of boats could
take part in it By going as fat as the mouth Of
the I euoW Stone, or even beyond, and leay-
ing the navigation Of the more western aud
shato"er portion OF the stream to be naviga-
ted by the smaller boats-side wheel or stern

war party, with condscation and gradual

ninety members Of the Legislature, including
such Democrats Of the olden time as Thomas
G. A1vord, Lemuel stetson, Royal Phelps,
Noah A. Childs, etc, lin all. twenty-five Dem.
ocrats.) have signed an address in which the
platform Of the new party is broadly laid
doWn-eupport to the Administration, M
compromise with traitors, and line Of policy
that shall finally exhaust the institution Of
slavery. Twenty Republican members refused
to sign the address, and some effort will be
made to maintain straight Republican organ
ization; ent the new movement c.rrics with
it a large majoritg Of the people, aud forces
an issne at the polls. The st1aight Repub,i.
