It.is a pitiful sight to see southern men rejoice at the victory so sty led, of this anomaly the Opposi tion. Men whose fidelity to the South "can not be questioned, but whose prejudices have blinded them to such an extent that it is impossible for tliem to see what .is to their interest. The defeat of the dem ocratic party in the South is the building uptof tho Black Republicans in the North, and no one can fail to see that such a result would be fatal jto tho best interests of the South and disastrous to the fu ture hopes of the Union. Should the great democratic 'party of the Union be defeated in the South could the South be foolish enough to allow her enemy to rejoice over her, by destroying the party which has till the present, supported, her-from what quarter must she look for assistance ? Where will she go for backers when she has by her own. hand crushed those who hay o put all other considerations aside for the love of theincpuntry and the Union, and stood firmly the jeexy qd threats and taunts of their neighbors 'thosSTJrthern democrats, truer and more reliable than whom cannot be produced they have upheld and supported herj but where will they go? Are their services no longer needed; is the South prepared to, dispense with them? If such is the case, then the time has come for an Opposition triumph. Have the men of the South sat down and counted the cost ; have they examined the bearing that an Opposition triumph will have upon national politics, and have they concluded that the Black Republican doctrine is that which should have the universal sanction of the people f We think not JTfie conservative.ivitiona,emocratio party is tno country, and It therefore teehooyes every patriot to build up and support it. It is the only p .irty that can successfully maintain and support the rights of the South, and the only party that is likely to prove true to the Union and the Constitution. The party cannot exist except it have the undi vided support of every truly conservative man, and it is all important that the democratic people stand steadfast and unflinching to the tenets of the partyK that they uphold with their might that magnificent fabric which they have labored to raise that the democracy and the Union, and the equality of the States be supported at all hazards, and against foes at home and enemies abroad.

A Contrast. The Omaha, Nebraskian says that a somewhat novel exhibition was witnessed in that city on Monday last, being no less than a small menagerie of wild animals caught in the mountain fastnesses in the vicinity of Pike's Venk. The collection of animals consisted of a cinnamon bear cub, a couple of antelopes, an elk, a mountain go pher, a raven and a prairie dog. These "var mints" were brought in by a company of returned Pike's Peakers," and exhibited at ten cents per sight. This certainly does not speak very well for Pike's Ptak mining. Showing cinnamon bear cubs and prairie dogs at ten cents per sight is not diving very deeply into the auriferous soil. The above brings to our mind a capital joke, which we recollect to have heard about ' General Jackson and the office seeker." It seems upon A New Book. The proprietors of the "National; one occasion the olet General was barrasseu, tor- Police Gazette," a weekly record of crime, publisheljj tured ni'g" unto death by repeated applications for ic sense Of the-people of Pennsylvania. It is undoubtedly the best and only mode for the settlement of this difficult subject of slavery, that the questions arising out of it, should be regarded) as imlicial questions, find should be submitted to j the higlu-t judicial tribunal of the country for de cision. Use Kansas jNcorasKa um was passed in conformity with this idea, and under it the Supreme Court have decided that, under, the Constitution of the United Suites, slavery exists in its territories ; that neither Congress nor territorial legislatures have the power to deprive the people of the South of the right to take slaves into the territories, while they remain such, but that the decision rests with the people of the territories when they assemble to form a State Constitution to determine whether ther will have slavery or not. The Democratic party are content to leave the question under these decisions.

Our sprightly cotcmporary the Wil mington Iferald has fallen into ecstacies on account of the election returns which indicate he triumph of four of the Opposition candidates for Congress in this State. It has grown quite prosy on the subject, and has given vent to its feelings in an article of nearly one column in length. We cannot question the Herald's propriety of hauling out the "hundred guns" which have so long bech laying in rust and out of use, or to be at all out of softs on account of the clamor which it is now raising, for it has been quiet so long, that we had almost commenced to jear (hat, it never would kick, much less hollow again. , , Now friend Burr, you have our permission, shout and make as much noise as you please !
