TBOfELE AHEAD !
James Buchanan, having a majority of all
the electoral rotes of the various States com
prising the Union, (though tot of the popular
vote,) will, if bis life and health are spared, bo
inaugurated President on the Fourth of March
next. Much anxiety is manifested relative to
the course be will pursue on the slavery ques
tion, and rinltifarious, indeed, are the specu
lations upon this point. The Tress of Lis own
party we busy laying down the lines of policy
which he will be called upon to observe, and
es the North and South differ widely ia their
demands, we may reasonably expect that the
incoming Administration will find itself con
ciderably perplexed ; and if Mr. Buchanan
does not know what to do, it will not be from
any lack of advice. Immediately after bis
nomination, as all will recollect, he expressed
Lie determination to plant himseli on the Cin
cinnati platform that he would neither add,
cor take frornt a single plank. Ai the plat
form was made with an especial view of pleas
ing the South, the latter is demanding the ful
filment of his promises. They look for him
to redeem Lis pledges, and pursue such aline
of policy as will make Kansas a 6lave State.
The acquisition cf Cuba, and the annexation
of Nicaragua, will also doubtless be urged,
and the revival of the slave trade is even sug
gested. Should Mr. Buchanan favor the views
of Lis Southern friends, he will not only leave
Lis Northern ones, who held that Kansas would
be admitted as a free State, in an embarrassing
situation, but will raise a general breeze among
the masses of the party, that will not be easily
quieted, and may end in its destruction.
At the North, it is expected that the new
President, in order to save the party, will be
forced to use Lis influence to have Kansas ad
mitted as a free State. During the campaign
it was avowed that he would not interpose his
influence to its admission as such; and it is
hinted thai ha is inclined to favor its comiDg
in with a free constitution, probably to pre
pare t he way, should he conclude to take that
coursu. The South has heretofore always suc
ceeded in her efforts to have territorial acqui
fcitjoua inure to the benefit of her
and if she lacked the requisite strength, she
couli ia all such emergencies find cravens and
doughfaces enough among the representatives
of the northern Democracy, whom she culd
itbcr wheedle or frighten into her service.
Mr. Buchanan will Grid himself determinedly
beset by .the South to induce him to accede to
their wishes; but it is hoped that the enor
mous vote cast for Col. Frem ffnt, will satisfy
Mm that the rights of the North cannot be
trifled away or trampled upon with impunity,
and indace him to resist thtir demands. If
ho should do so, the South will bo up in arms,
threaten disunion, and, perhaps, may order
Preston S.Brooks w'.th an army of men, valiant
us Lia:'.lf, to forthwith "march to "Washing
ton, ani seize the archives and treasury of tho
Government."
It must, after viewing the whole ground, be
obvious that oae section or tho other will be
disappointed, let Mr. Buchanan act as he may ;
and the whole country will look forward to the
timo when ho shall enunciate the course he
intends pursuing, with no ordinary interest.
W liorw that he will so act as to insure the
peace, welfare and prosperity of the country,
sr.d the perpetuity of the Union.

"THEOUQH TICKET FOB SALT BIVEE."
Last week, one of our Democratic friend
very kindly handed us a card of unusual di
mensions, having the above significant words
printed in large characters over a number of
grotesque pictures. One was a boat, with
dark-lantern, an jndian, and Mr. Fillmore
tied to the boat, was a dead woolly-horse, oa
which were Henry Ward Beecher and CoL Fre
mont ; several other equally interesting ciri
caturei were on the card. We thanked the do
nor politely, and placed the ticket under ou
hat-Land, so as to have it convenient when re
quired. After he left, we sat down upon ou
editorial tripod, and cogitated on the uncer
tatnty of politics. Whilst thus engaged, we
felt the gentle embrace of MorpLeus encircling
us, and soon we found oursclf ia the region of
dreams. At first everything was vague and
undefinaHe ; but anon we found oursclf in a
pleasant, fairy-like craft, which, propelled by
some invisible power, was gliding swiftly rip
the current of a stream, many points of which
appeared familiar. Whilst endeavoring to
bring them to recollection, a schooner with
low, dark sides, and filibustering appearance
generally, hove in sight, and on the flag float
ing at her mast head were tho words "Buck
and Breck." As she neared, we heard a Cath
olic band playing "the Rogue's March," and
we at once fully realized that we were on the
famous Salt River, and that the fleet passing
was carrying the Democracy to the National
capital. Our curiosity led us to make a scru
tiny or the immense array that was hastening
after the leader, to take possession of tho
"flesh pots." Immediately in the rear of the
flag-ship, came a rather quaint and unusual
craft, styled the "Topular Sovereignty-," com
manded by a certain Mr. Douglass, of whom
you nave ail aouotless heard. He was instruc
ting a scion of ''Southern Chivalry" how to
'-draw the wool over the eyes" of a Northern
doughface, at the same time directing a 8ab!c
individual, who called him massa,' in his op
eration or mending a pair of "breeches," be
longing to his -friend, Marcy, who didn't know
but what he would have to make a journey.
In the background was an individual trying to
make himself expert at a game of political
"thimble-rigging ;" but he succeeded poorly.
Standing, as he was, in the shade, we could not
certainly identify him ; tho' we noticed that
he had a ptcrciug eye. Close by was another
craft, that looked rather dilapidated, and ia
consequence of the "noise and confusion"
surrounding it, we could not hear the name of
the commander, who, tho' a man of fine ap
pearance, looked very doleful. But we can
not notice them in detail. Taey were a mot
ley set, indeed "all nations, kindred and
tongues" were represented
i j
'So land e"er saw a crowd
Of locnss numerous as the heaven saw these:
Theyshadowd with thcirmTriadsspace; their loud
Am varied cries were like those of wild-geese;

KUiht.:

In certain terms I shan't translate in full,
As the first coachman will ; and midst the war
The voice of Jonathan was heard to express,

Besides there were the Spaniard, Dutch, and Dane;
In short, an un'.ver;al ehoal of shades
From Otaheite's Islo to Salisbury Plain,
Of ail climes and professions, years and trades."
Being amused at a very brave looking chap
trying to pick one of the famous Ilobb's locks,
ai.d re?.irdin2 his occupation as somewhat
novel, we inquired who he was,"and were in-
formed that it was a certain "valorous" South
Carolinian, who was acquainting himself with
everything that might bo of avail in entering
tliepumicouiiuings to "seize incarcuncnu
... 1 1 1 1
treasury of the Government." Our attention
was also particularly drawn to a fellow w ho
was very imperious in Lis demands of tne "old
Buck," and finally threatened to withdraw the I
, f )1. Mnil.. Ihnrfh" Or.ri, I ho 1
party, which coniirmeu us in tne dcuci mat u
wasArchbishop Hughes. Suddenly the scene
changes. Spread out before us was the whole
of our beloved land the inhabitants were m a
statc of excitement those "invested with au- j
thority" were hurrying to and fro and there
was every indication or some great ana mo-
mentous event. Anon, we behold armies in

They are forcing her rapidly to ruin on, on

wc look at that "through ticket" we wonder
whether our dream mizht prove a reality. We

Ship of State through the dangerous breakers
that surround her course.

The N. V. Tribuut says : "Every single vote

from the chief priests to the boot-biacks, was
dragged out and polled for Buchanan-"
The Pittsburgh Gazelle says of the Cathol

It belongs of right to the pro-slavery Democ
racy, and there let it remain. There is a sym
pathy between Jesuitism and Slavery which
draws them together inevitably. Like cling
unto like. Oppression over the mind, heart
and soul is close of kin to oppression over the
body. The Jesuits and the Slaveholders are
of the same kith, and it is meet that they
should play into each other's hands. Each
wants favors of the other and each looks to the
other for help. The Slaveholder wants north
era votes to secure the immanency of the
"institution," and the Jesuit looks with a keen
eye forward to tho supremacy of Lis church
Dotn religiously and politically. In the late
contest the whole power and influence of the
Catholic church were cast into the scale for
the benefit -of the Democracy. It not only
ramea us aanerents isto a compact mass
for the aid of that party, yielding them, un
der shield of its peculiar religious tenets, to
the frauds and general dirty work of the cam
paign, out it contributed all that it could to
give color to the story that Col. Fremont was
a Catholic, in order that the odium of that al
legation might work his defeat, thus making
merchandize of its own bad reputation. From
such a church and from such a body of voters
mo holy cause of freedom has nothing to
nope, l here is a high wall and a deep ditch
between us. Let the conservator nf -mr.
in religion and politics, cling to each other's
skirts and herd by themselves; the hope of
liberty and the nation is in the free, intelli
gent, freedom-loving masses, who are neither
priest-ridden nor party-ridden.
T32 WHEZL2A3S0W WAGEB.
Some time since, Maj. Ben. Perley Poore.
of Newburyport, Massachusetts, made a bet of
a barrel of apples with Col. Ii. I. Burbank, one
of the Fremont Senatorial electors of that
State, who resides in Boston, that Fillmore
would have more votes in Massachusetts than
Fremont the apples to be wheeled from the
residence of the loser to the residence of the
winner. Mr. Poore having lost tho wager,
paid it in the manner stated, namely, placed a
barrel of the fruit named on a wheelbarrow.
and wheeled it to the Trcraont House, Boston,
a distance, we believe, of about SO miles.
The exploit caused considerable sensation a-
mong the Bostonians. It has given them some
thing to make a fuss over, to call out he "mil-
mgtary ' on, to make speeches, and perhaps
o "indulge" in, even more extensively, if we
are to suppose that Mr. Poore's significant
hint, that he expected to be verv dry when he
reached the Trcraont Ilouse, meant any thing.
v ha., a sight it must have been to see the old
stager pushing his barrow along amid the
cheers of ten thnn ."--
music, all the town dignitaries on hand, and a
good time generally speaking, looming up in
the distance ! Remarkable people, those Bos
tonians! In conclusion, we would remark to
thoso among our cotemporaries who comment
on this as a silly exploit, that we trust that
none of them have, during the past campaign,
been guilty of any thing sillier. Besides, if
all the bets which have been made and paid of
late, involved nothing worse than wheeling
appies, "-
than Mr. Poore's exploit has cost him, there
would have been,we imagine, much less gruni- I
bling, and, perhaps, a much pleasanter state j
of lecling.

trol the domestic institutions of the several
States, and that all such States are the sole
and proper judges of everything appertaining
to their own atlairs not prohibited by the Con

This is a principle of the Democratic party,
which they have extended to Territories as
well as States, and the doctrine of squatter
sovereignty applies to us i a Deseret as well as
to tho settlers in Kansas and Nebraska.
The Democratic party is the instrument, in

In the Republican Convention assembled at

Saints of the latter days, to whom God re

at hand which was foretold by the prophet of

let us be called by thy name to take away our

The Sax Fbaxcisco K at-Catchfks. While
thi greater portion cf our population are a
sleep, "John Chinaman," like the ihiJbnUn
or r.ig-piekers, another distinct class of per
sons we have in our midst. is wide awake and
pursuing his calling with a real worthy of com
mendation in any of the higher walks of life.
He is wh.it might be called a professional "rat
ter," and is as well versed as a Scotch tcrriT
in the most approved method of discovering
and of taking them. The wharves along tho
water-front of the city are nightly frequented
by them, but in most cases they seek the
isolated places in the outskirts of the city,
where the rats fatten on the garbage thrown
from the slaughter-houses, to set their traps.
These traps arc square boxes abcut two feet
long, and of the same width and some eighteen
inches deep the top and bottom constructed
of w ood, and the sides ingeniously interwoven
with wire like a net. Each one has several
openings on the sides, with the wire inverted,
so that when a rat enters, it is almost impossi
ble for him to mike his escape by the way bo
came in.
Each Chinaman, w ith any kind of good lnck,
very often succeeds in taking from two to three
hundred rats a night. These are sold to the
parties who employ them at so mnch per do
zen, who derive considerable profit from tho
business. The skins are dried and cured, and
afterward! tied cp in small packages of fifty
each, ready for exportation. They are sent to
Paris ami there manufactured into what are
called kid gloves, and returned to us as "Alex
andre's best," which may he seen displayed
ia the w indows of our fancy dry good stores.
IJolloirafs Pills, a certain Remedy for all
Liver and Stomach Complaints. The daugh
ter of Mrs. Farlow, of Maiden Lane, N. York,
was for three years in a most deplorable itais
of health, caused by her liver and stomach be
ing out of order. The mother tried a variety
of remedies, but unfortunately the child was
not benefitted bv the same, on the contrary,
she gradually grew worse. Seven weeks ago,
she commenced to use llolloway's Pills in ac
cordance with the printed directions, they
have completely cured her, after every other
remedy had failed to give her the least relief.
DREAPrcL Loss of LirE. On the 20th inst-,
the steamer Adriatic run into the French stea
mer Lyonnais on her wa; from New York to
Havre, and cut her sieni clean off. The pas
sengers staid on the wreck till the next day,
when they took the boats and only one out of
six has been since heard from, and it is sup
posed that over one hundred have been lost.
Social Statistics. Thirteen married gen
tleman, who, within tho last week or so, have
been convicted of having smoked in their owh
dining rooms, have been severally fined a new
bonnet, and, in default, have been committed
to the hard labor of taking out their wives for
an afternoons shopping.
