Boas too The Opposition journals are *somewhat jubi lant over what they call the troubles of the Democracy, and they consider the defeat of the latter certain. The indication!, however, are that the Opposition are nose too harmo nious among themselves and that they will !laic their bands full to have all their troubles adjusted. Fur instance, a number of Repub lican journals denounce a a "trick" a move ment that has been set on foot by Whigs and Americans, directing attention, by circular. to the importance of electing the right kind of men tv delegates to the Ile.rrisburg Con vention, and recommending the adoption of 3 resolution by that Convention calling a Con• vention of the conservative chnumnts of the country to nominate Presidential candidate.

The first election held in Oregon since the ndniussion of that State into the Union, took place at Portland on the 4th of this month, and resulted in a triumph for the National Democracy. The whole Democratic picket was chosen by a majority greater than has ever been obtained by any party in that City. For years past the Opposition bad held the power in Portland, and defied all attempts to dislodge them, but the.ndoption by that pull of the "bloody manifesto" of Smote, and their double-dealing and duplicity with refer ence to the admission of Oregon, disgusted the Union loving portion of its inhabitants, and they banished them from power, and declar ed for the Democracy in language that can not and will not be misunderstood. The malt of this election will be felt in all parts of the Uoiort. It shows that Oregon can safely be trusted in the great battle which is to be fougb; in 1860, for the Constitution, the rights of the States ; and the perpetuity of the Union, and this feat will avid fresh courage to the National Pemocracy, and nerve them for a fiercer fight against the Black Re- publicans. We congratulate the Democracy of the new State of Oregon on their initial effort, and assure them that the of this triumph is shared by their brethren in all sections of the Union. • The Chances of 1860. Speculation is already afloat as to ale %thences of the next Presidency, and calcula tions ars made to suit individual views. The following article, from an exchange, appears to us to be a reasonable view or the ;patter, and we transfer it to our columns I The Republican papers of late have been bragging extensively upon their prospects of success in the election of IS6O. They declare it is now a oertanty that a Itenablicen Presi dent wilt be inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1861. It is undoubtedly true thet they were pretty successful in carrying the Northern elections of 1858, bat that is no indication of the result in 1860. Their victories are gen erally a year or two too early or too late. Even taking the elections.of 185/1 as the criterion, and the chances for the next Presidency are against the Republicans. It is certain there will be no fusion between the Southern and Northern Opposition in 1860. The Republi cans wil 1 run their owp candidate, on their own platform, just as they did in 1155. Of coons, this being the case. they will nut get a solitary electtiral vote of the one hundred and twenty belonging to the Southern States. The Democracy may not gat all of them, but they will be cast against the Republicane.— In 1858 the Democratic majority on the State (doers in Illinois was between two and three thousand. In Indiana the Democratic State ticket had about three or four thousand ma jority in that year. In California and Oregon the Democratic majority was large. These Democratic States have thirty-one elect mil votes. United with the South they would give one hundred and tifty-one against the Republicans certain. The whole number of electoral votes is three hundred and three. The Republicans, if they should carry the rest. would only succeed by one majority. Recollect that this one major ity is on the basis of the late election,. The loss to them of either Minnesota, lowa, Wis consin, New Jersey, Connecticut or New York would be fatal, They cen hardly hope to carry all these States in 1830, If the election should go into the House of Representatives, the Republican candidate fur President would not be chosen. He could not get any of the fifteen Southern States. Ile could not get Illinois, Oregon and California. These tier. teen States are a majority of the thirty-three and would prerent a Republican choice, It seems to be impossible that any Republican can be elected, unless the Democrats make an outrageous blunder in their candidate and platform at Charleston, If a popular man is nominated there, on a national platform, lie will be elected by a larger majority than Mr. Buchanan received in 1856. The President and Directors of the Western Maryland Railroad have just lished an exhibit of the agricultural and tilt eral resources of the country through which this road is designed to Nuts, and a statement of its condition and prospects. This publica tion Is designed to afford to the capitalists ofl Baltimore accurate information in regard to ' this improvement, with the hope of obtaining the means necessary fur its speedy comple tion. The length of the road to Union Bridge, the present contemplated terminus, will be forty-two miles. Its cost, including right of way, outfit, is estimated at not more than $720,000. Its means comprise $250,000 ufl at tillable stock subscriptions, and the balance in first Mortgage Caul on Bonds, bearing in terest at six per cent. per annum and payable semi-annually on the first days of January; and July, and of which siauething more than $150,000 have been s.,ld at SO cents on the dollar. The bonds which have been sold are bold chiefly by the farmers of Carroll coun ty, who are also large stockholders and are manifesting &laudable energy and enterprise in the prosecution of this work. Twenty ' three miles of the road are already graded, and 3,000 of the 3,300 tons of rails required for the whole length of the road have been purchased and paid fur. With the assistance now desired to be obtained by an additional sale of bends in Baltimore, it le expected that the track will be completed to Westminster during the coming autumn, and to Union Bridge by the succeeding mithawnmer, Messrs. IstwiN 4 Tsrt.oa are the contrac. tors for the ounstruction of tho Road, and their wollanown energy is a sufficient guar , ante* that the work willnot Le delayed on their account.

One• of the /mita of the People's Party. Not very long ago, a close union was effec ted between the itepubliaan and Know Noth ing parties throughout the country. This alliance, offensive and defensive, was entered into for the express purpose of demolishing the Democracy ; ,tn interesting feat, which neither of the high contracting partied wan able to perform, single handed and unaided. These two elements of opposition, at one time - so fiercely antagonistic, joined heart and han k ie in the most cordial and fraternal man ner. All aniinositied were forgotten—old feuds were deeply buried—and the united bo dies of ltcpublinamsin and Know Nothingism presented to an admiring public, a second edition of the inseparable Siamese Twins.— Of course, when the combination was perfec ted, the leaders of the famous coalition went into _all kinds of raptures. With the great Capt. Cottle, they exclaimed, in perfect ex stacies, "there's wisdom for you." They had determined to win a victory. They knew they were utterly powerless when they fought under separate banners. Their only hope was in consolidation. Aud hence they cave up, without a murmur, their old names and organizations, and assumed the more taking and euphonious appell:tti in of the" People's Party." Reform—practical reform—was their stirring watchword. Promises of what they intended to do fur " the dear people," fell from their facile tongues, as " thick as au tumnal leaves that strew the brooks in Val lorubruda." And at this particular juncture, inspired with additional confidence by the disaffection of some fair weather Pere u evats, they marched to the battle field, and succeeded in securing a temporary triumph in some Tarts of the Union, where. theretofore, they had been driven like chaff before the wind. So much for the past, now for the present, of this '• People's Party." Within the last few days a portion of the harvest sown by the coalition, was reaped in Massachusetts. The fruit ripened in the Ohl Bay State, and has fallen to the ground ; arol the poisoned chalice has been returned to the lips of those who aided in preparing the nox ious compound for others to partake. A pro position was started in the Republican— Know-Nothing Legislature of the State. to re quire all persons of foreign birth to reside two years within the jurisdiction of the United States after they had been naturalized, before they could vole, or were eligible to office. This liberal idea, txmceived by a brain at war with all the interests of our adopted citizens, soon grew into the shape and form of a law : and on Monday, the ninth instant, the people of Republican and Know-Nothing Massachu setts were called upon to say at the NM. whether this proscriptive measure—this grand reform of the "People's Party,"—should be engrafted upon their State constitution. The returns of that election proclaim to the coun try that inch is the undoubted wish and will of that Commonwealth ; and than it seems, that tine of our adopted citizens who favor ed the new movement, styled the " People's Party," have plucked the first fruit from the tree that was planted to protect the interests of the whole country, and was intended to shade with its overhanging branches the rights and privileges of every sect and every party. Earnest men remonstrated against this un called for proseription—clear heeded parti sans arryed themselves against it, becatise they saw in its triumph the potent elements of their future defeat and discomfiture—but the fiat had gone forth ; the Bashed come to restrict the privileges of' men who were born on a foreign soil: and the proscriptive decree, thus pronounced in Massachusetts, was as fixed and unalterable as theisn'a of the Medea and Persians. We have no comment to take upon this ac tion of the people of the Old Bay State. The glory of the achievement belongs exclusively to the i• People's Party." Those of oar hdop ted citizens who have acted with this organi zation in the past, may possibly see in it a warning and a-lesson. It is useless for us to point out the absolute tendency of this move ment. In those regions where the deadly upas grows, it is not necessary to warn tho people against its poisonous shades. Those who sit beneath its branches, after they have been timely warnel, deserve whatever fate mat• befall therm Two years probation may Le leugthene 1, hereafter, to ten, Or twenty. The action recently 4 1 aken in Massachusetts may foreshadow the course which will be pursued in oilier States of this Confederacy, by these new guardians of the people. If it should, its result will not only be felt in America. Across the blue waters of the At lantic, there are homes made desolate 1 y the spell of oppression. In those abodes of wretchedness, there are eyes that grow bright and hearts that bent high, whenever the nanio of American liberty is mentioned. The birth of this new proscription will fall heavily upon the breast of the expectant exile. it will tell him that if he comes here, he must not hope to enjoy the same privileges that his fathers did who came before him—that a now American idea has been inaugurated— and that when the Democratic party ceases to triumph, the progress ut liberal sentiments is retarded in the laud of the setting sun 1— .riirk Gaunt.

We understand that the Railroad Company will issue tickets to parties of twenty to thir ty at GO cents each, the 'Toned trip; and to parties of thirty and upwards, at 50 cents each the round trip—persons get.ing up par ties to give two or three days notice, so that the crowd may not be too great at one time.

Chung), in this place, from the 13th to the 17th of May, instant. This venerable body originally covered all the territory lying in Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna and south of the Juniata— westward as far as the Ohio. Its present ter ritory is, however, comparatively limited, its jurisdiction being confined to the Reformed Churches lying in the counties of Adams, York and parts of Cumberland and Perry.— Its territory became thus limited by the for mation of three or four tow and flourishing Classes west of this, Zion's Classis has under it 75 congregations, divided into 18 pastoral charges, of which 3 are in Perry, 4 in Cumberland, 4 in Adams, and 7in York county. Five of them are now without regular pastors, Tia : Gettysburg, Hanover, Mechanicsburg, Landisburg and Zion's, which will, no doubt, all be supplied before the end of the year, as earnest efforts arc being made by all towards securing regue lur pastors, Tuere wero 16 ministers present, viz Revs. D. Ziegler, J. Seohler, A. 11. Kremer, Geo. Leidy, J. Ziegler,W.C. Bennet, S. Kuhn, E. 11. Meth eine, J. 0. Miller, D.,llefelfinger„ D. Bossier, T. P. Bucher, J. Ault, D,W.

Hoffbeins, Stated Clerk ; W. A. Wilt, Faq., of York, Treasurer. The first session was taken up by the readq ing of the parochial reports, in which each pastor presented a minute account of his la bors during the past year, the probable re sult of his ministry,the present state of morals and religion in his charge, the number of members, baptisms, eonfirmatioos, deaths and rem ,vats, the amount of monies contributed to charitable sad benevolent purposes in the church, which were an very encouraging, and highly creditable to the ministry and membership of the church, and gave evidence f gruwtli and prosperity. 1 he secuud and third sessions were devoted to the reports of the standing committees... The committee on letters, communications, &c., reported a number, which claimc4 the attention of Classic; among others; was a call from the newly constituted " Court wag° charge" to the Itev. J. Ziegler and his acceptanue of it, which received the approval of Classis, and the Revs. E. 11. Iluffheins, J. Sechler and J. Kurt; were appointed to in stall him. The same committee reported also a call to the Rev. J. Sechler, from the Lit tlestown charge, to become their pastor.— This call was likewise confirmed, and the Revs. J. 0. Miller, E. H. Lloffheins and J. Kurts appointed to install him. Various resolutions were also adopted, pledging renewed seal and increased liberality in favor of the several benevolent appropria tions of the church and the more extensive circulation of her religions periodicals.— Pledges were also given for missionary and educational purposes to the amount of $1,200, which will, nitillioubt, be increased to $l,BOO or s2ooo—the amount raised last year for the same objects. In addition to the above, two conditional pledges of $3OO each were given, which will doubtless be redeemed. The remaining sessions were occupied in nctiug on the report of the committee on Synodical minutes and miscellaneous busi ness. Classic acceded to the several over tures made by its Synod, and expressed itself favorable in relation to the creation of a higher ecclesiastical judicatory, to be called the "General Synod of the Ger. Ref. Church," and the division of the present exittin; Synods into particular Synods. The project of establishing a "Theological Tutorship," based on the very generous donation of Dr. llithman von Ilullweg, of Prussia, was also favorably responded to. The "Tutorship " contemplates the employment and support of A regular succession of two young men, graduates of the literary and theological in stitutions of the church, and distinguished fur diligence, scholarship and christian char acter, who shall be simultaneously engaged, the one in completing his theological find general literary education in Europe, the ether as assistant Professor in the Seminary. During the last year Classis lost five of its members, two by death, and three by dismis sion to other Classes.

It was, on motion, unanimously Besotted, That this body tender their sin cere thanks to the members of the Ger. Ref. Church and the citizens of Gettysburg, for their kind hospitality during our sojourn among them—and that this resolution be pub lished from the pulpit. Classis adjourned on Tuesday last, at noon. The proceedings of the body were marked by a considerable degree of interest, and ad ditional pleasure was afforded the member ship of the Church here by the visit of the gentlemen composing the Classic. A general desire is expressed that the interval between this and the next meeting of Class is in this place may not he long. On Tuesday evening, Rev. Mr. Bausman, of Chambersburg, at the solicitation of a number of citizens, delivered a Lecture in the Ger. Ref.

The Emperor Napoleon had sent ut formal LlN:lstration of war against Au.itria t s the Corps Legislatif, and also announced his in tention to head the army.

The French troops are pouring into Pied mont. The Austrian troops were concentrating along the Sevin, and occup'ed Trieste and the surrounding country, which had been placed in a stage of siege. The French Minister at Vienna, and the A uitrinn _Minister at Paris, hag both taken their departure for their respective govern ments, The Stria Federal .i4sembly Innt approTed the declaration of neutrality and the nteasures fur defence taken by the Federal Council. a"'i appointed.

It tells us that, by the la test accounts from Italy, no serious encounter between the belligerents' bad occurred, though the Austrians bad been repulsed, when try ing to cross the Po, at Trapinato. Every day's d.•loy is of great importance to Sardinia, as it will allow the French troops to come up in greater force. As'yet. to all appearances, Austria }tad lost much tiate--.uol time, iu war, is opportunity. Cotton had fallen in price, prolettly on the expectation that there would be diminish ed demand for it, in consequence of the war. Provisions had advanced, but, contrary to ex pectation, braulstuffs had remained at last prices. In the London Money Market prices had remained stationary. Baron Frederick Henry Alexander Hem bolilt. author of s•Cusmos." had died at Berlin, in his 90th year.

Pour Days Later. The City of Baltimore arrived on Friday, with four day. later news from Europe. There hod been no battle reported up to the hour of sailing. The Austrian movemenvi were Inexplicable. It was believed that they were waiting fur favorable weather. The Emperor Napoleon and the Prince had left Paris for Gonna. Brelmistafra had a declining tendency and all qualities are considerably lower. Provi sions were quiet. With the instinct of true Yankees, this is the question generally asked all over this country when speculating upon the probable conse quences of the European wni, Bow will it affect us? Our position and national policy secure neutrality, no matter what other gov ernments become involved in the great strug gle, but commercially we have an incalculable interest in European affairs, which must tell, in some shape, to our advantage or disadvantage upon the business of the coun try. Europe cannot engage in a general war, drawing hundreds of thousands of men from their peaceful ocoupations, deranging the fi nances and intercepting the peaceful current i of commercial interoour.se, without producing ' a roost material effect upon the business of this country. We ore therefore interested to know whether that effect will be beneficial or damaging. At first sight, it may appear advantageous to this country. If the nations of Europe are involved, the soldiers must Le taken from the tillers of the soil, and America become part granary of Europe. The deficiency of bread stuffs produced by untitled fields, devastated crops, and the waste of war. must be supplied by the agriculturists of the United States. ' All the nations of Europe must maintain an army on a war footing, even if they do not be come involved in cctual hostilities, and this I will necessarily diminish the agricultural pro- I ducts, and produce a demand fur American breadstuffs. We see the effect of this antici pation already in the sudden rise of flour and grain, caused by the war news. This is doubt. less caused to some extent by speculative combinations, but even speculators oannzt op erate without a plausable basis of probabili ties to go upon. But it is at least questionable whether these advantages would not prove temporary and illusive. In spite of high prices, we might find ourselves at the end of a long and pros trating European war, in a worse condition than at its commencement.
