The people would not. 'believe it, though .it was told to them, that the Republicans in the Congress which ex. pired the day Mr. Buchanan took the Presidential chair, had reduced the Ta riff of 18443. It was true, however; and if the people will just pay attention to the proceedings of Congress hereaf ter, they will see that the Republicans of the East and the West are no more friendly to protection than the Democ racy of tho South. So says the Valley Spirit. by a largely increased mrjor;t,•,) arc still Democratic. The rest of the North ern States, with the exception of Min nesota, remain Black .Repablican, as they were ie 1556, althoagh in most of them there arc heavy Democratic gains. For instance, in Now York the Democ racy are beaten by about fifteen thous and, whilst Fremont's majority over Buchanan was 80,000, and the combin ed vote of Fremont and • Fillmore ex e.eedocl that of Buchanan .265,000 ! This shows a Democratic gain in this State in two years of 65,000 ! In Maine, Massachusetts and even in Ver ment., there are Democratic gains. In lowa, Michigan and •Wisconsin, the Black gepablican majorities are great ly reduced, and in each of the last two the Democrats gain a member of Con gress. In short, the vote of the North ,is oeesiderably less emphatic against the Democracy than it was two years ago. Demagogues may talk about the people rebuking the Administration, but they cannot make figures lie, and when they come to count their Anti- Democratic majority in the Northern States that have just speken, they will find themselves decidedly unable to ci pher it up as large as in 1856. • • In Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin, all of which were formerly Democratic, the Democracy have once more obtain ed a foot-hold, by electing some of their candidates for Congress. The tendon. cy of these States is now toward their first love and the Black Repnblicacs are already apprehensive of their return to the Democratic party in 1860. In Pennsylvania and Now Jersey, the suc cess. of the Opposition will prove but temporary, their supremacy in these States, whenever they obtained it, bay ing always been spasmodic and short lived. The shrewd and calculating men of the Opposition, even now concede these States to the Democrats' at the next election. The result in New York, notwith standing the defeat of the Democratic candidote for Governor, is ominous to the OpiotetlAion. It is a triumph for Seward ad the ultra Black Republi cans. It is tha aanihiliation of Critten den; it scatters the so-called " People's Party" to the four winds of heaven. • Bence, in making np.our opinion u to the nature and issue of the next Presidential campaign, we cannot ar rive at any other conclusion than that a Democratic President will again be chosen on the firsl, Tuesday of Novem ber, 186( ViirTho Star's " twists " in order to rid its party of the odium of the Bendersville effigy-burning affair, are becoming really funny!

A Conven- Aon recently hold to take steps for ad- Mission as a Free State, and to arrange for future political movements, was very thinly attended and finally ad journed without doing anything at all. This result is due partly to the 'convic tion that the contest is over ond that Kansas can never be anything but a Free State, and partly to the desire of the people of Kansas to attend some what to their own affairs. They are all ve7 actively engaged in cultivating their farms, building houses and barns, and making themselves generally com fortable. We trust they be will abund antly successful.—N. Y.

Sensible Talk The Boston Treeekr, -an opposition paper, usually has as eye to the wind ward, and now evidently foresees the defeat of . aectionalisin in 1800. It admits that the Democrat*, "are sensi ble men," and adds : " It is ono of the felicities• of the Democratic party that it generally gets beaten at the rig ht time, and be cornea wise under the - rod. It has a vast vitality, and is so hard to kill that its destruction is ono of those things that are never thought to be possible. "The mu Hunt after Office."—The Reading Gazette says that the number of applicants for the several Clerkships of the House of itepivsentatives, at Harrisburg. which the mutations of politics have placed at the disposal of the Opposition fur the coming session, is truly surprising. Their name is legion. And what is yet more surprising is the fact that the largest porportion of these aspirants for the honor of doing drudges' work for the Legislature, con sists ofeditors! The Harrisburg Union gives up the attempt to enumerate them, in utter despair. It says, " the shortest way of getting at the matter would be to make out. a list of Opposition editors who aro not candidates."

Ms tune, however, has undergone a considerable ebange within the Last twelve months, and he 1 is now flattering himself, in view of the! new arrungetnents that he was corn.' pulled to übscri,e daring the recent campaign, that he stands better with the Catiolies than you do, since Le was 1 " told by an intell gent (?) Catholic but i the other day, that he (the Catholic) would rather meet an enemy fairly face to face, than have nestling near his bosom a faithless and insincere friend." Notwithstending this is an age of wonders and anomalies, still I should like to see the oniptenance of that intel ligent Catholic that talked thns to one of the-most illUlignant persecutors the Catholics have ever had in this countly ----one that has done all in his power to make the very name of Catholic a by word of ridiciple and reproach ; and one that now, on finding it unprofitable even to the Know Nothing cause, to continue their open enemy, " face to face," is thus fawningly endeavoring to " nestle near their bosom," so that he may be enabled to command their votes, obtain their patromo , e, and re ,, ain the power of betraying them whenever his interest or his malice may induce him again to "change his ground." Fouryears ago, when he was a Whig to Whigs, and ahythiag else to "Sam" and " Sainno" in the dark, and while fearing that the color of hit face might betray the ranklings of the heart, he conceived the idea of singling out and addressing his " Catholic friends " an exclusive "word 'of advice," through the columns of his paper. - In this ad dress ho first appealed to their fidelity as Whigs to stick to their ticket. Next Ise recounted in glowing terms the fa vors and uniform impartiality that they were the recipients of at the hands of the fathers of the great conservative Whig party; and finally he forewarned thorn of the awful consegnences that their desertion of -the Whig party in hor hour of extremity would draw down upon them and their posterity, even to the remotest generation. The very time our friend was "nest ling" thus " near the bosom "' of the Whig party, and flattering, as he thought, the vanity of the intelligent Catholic," he was nightly meeting the sworn enemies of both in the bawds of the earth, plotting and planning the most effectual mode of destroying the one and of bumbling and degrading the very name of the other. After a vin dictive campaign of four yours, and on findhig that the majority of the people of Adams county are opposed to pro scription of' any kind, this bigot has now the hardihood to endeavor to per sated° the intelligent Catholics that ho is their friend, rather than one who has never treated them as christian breth ren, and as equals in all things. •But, says the editor of the star, "the day of humbuggery is past—that a peo ple after being fooled once'or price are not so easily gn!leti again." to which the Whig party, hnd it not been garrot ed to eternal silence by such Know Nothings as the editor of the Star, would sigh its last Amon ; and to which Win. B. Wilson, Esq., in view of the ind'eemente that were held out to him, and the success that wits promised him, although the aasuntnee comes late, —might heartily respond ditto ; while the Sentinel, should it not have under gone a change on the subjeut, in the last three years, would utdoubtloilly join in the chorus. Time, however, mast prove the apt ness of the prediction, since it is so woll known by past exporionce that the prophecies of the Star mast be received and treated with caution and dao allow ance. I perceive the editor of the Star ad mits lie has been making ugly faces at yon. This is candid in him, since he and everybody clso knows that unless ho has lately undergone a phi:ice' im provement, he could not have made pretty faces at you, 4iandsome as you are, or at anybody ells,. You should let him off on the Paddy, the Banner and the Bell question by ail means, now that you have "gored him enough," and since he has again chang ed his ground in regard to the Catholics. If be keeps on in his present track, at the speed he has recently adopted, one year rifler this he will be crying as lustily " for the man " that dared to burn that Paddy, ring that Bell, or carry that blo'ody Banner. as the hero in the fable was "for the man that struck Billy Patterson." Adieu for the pr sent, Ifirßeyond all question the wisest set of men in the nation, are the Wash ington correspondents of the newspa pers. They know all that is going; on, and a great deal more. Their investi gations are carried into every branch of public affairs, and their information is consequently as unbounded as their impudence. Their productions are of course very effective, whether consist ing of profound essays upon abstract politics, or interesting tittle-tattle, con cerning the President and members of the Cabinet. The difficulty with those corresponding gentry is, that they know entirely too much. They afford varied and amusing miscellany to order, according to the state of the scandal market, which must either be derived from the most intimate intercourse with governmental officials, or acquired by patiently applying the oar to key holes. ilow clso could it be known that Mr. Cobb is seriously meditating the fully at proposing a tax on tea and coffee, as a moans of replenishing the exhausted Treasury ? or that the Pres ident is favorable to a specific duty upoelron, and other members of the Cabinet opposed to it ? or that Erastait Corning hoe been sent for to supplant Mr. Cobb? or that Mr. Buchanan looks severe and troubled, stamps his foot in a passion, and exhibits evidence of un governable rage at every newspaper article that Is presumed not to accord with his views ?

The novel is 101 l of rich humor, clever character painthig, and felicitous descriptions of town• life l aud country life, and indoor and out door scenery in Sweden.

Gettisi Their Eyes Opal*, The New Ilampshire Statesman, it Republican paper issued at Coneord, speaking of the slavery agitation, says: Now let us inquire, in the name ot common sense, of what avail. is - 14 to prove by statistics that. we pay these fourths of all the ra7onues of the Gov ernment, while Southern con-burners are our largest customers? Of what avail is it to prove, to the satisfaction ot every politician, that we supply Qs South with all that they wear; ftliniVit top knot to a shoe latehet; with an that they use, from a steam engine ,to friction match, when this very room: - foods our manufacturors ? The South is as necessary to the North an the .North is to South. Massachusetts 'joie makes annually six millions of dollars' worth of shoes. The South is her beet customer. When the shoo business declines, gaunt hunger stalks through the streets. of her flourishing villages. Now England is extensively *mood in the manufacture at' count).

No goo* has come, or ever will come, from thin mutual crimination and recrimination. It neither strengthens the party nor hastens the downfall of slavery.
