MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1860. BDelligerents aad the Prospect. We have entered the moath of October, and Tuesday, the 6th day of November, will be signalized by the moat momentous Presidential | contest in the history of the United States. | One month and ene week will bring us face to face with the day and the struggle | which will determine, perhaps forever, the issue of Union or disunion, peace or war, between the free labor system of the North and the slave labor system of the South. But how etand the belligerents in regard to this momentous issue, and what ie the prospect of the battle There are four great parties in the field, re- | presented by the four tickets of Liacoln and | Hamlin, Breckinridge and Lane, Bell and Everett, Douglas and Johnson. The party of Lincoln and Hamlin—a progressive, offensive, ‘ sectional anti-slavery organization--is practi- cally limited to the Northern States. It will not receive « solitary electoral vote from a ! plave State, and thus, in the outset, we have | positively secured against it 120 electoral votes, | requiring the addition of only thirty-two of the 18% electoral votes of the North to defeat Lincoln and his sectional anti-slavery party, by casting the election inte Congress. The official returns of our Northern elections of the last four years also ehow that in Penn- syivania, New Jersey and New York there is a very large majority of the popular vote ar- rayed in opposition to the republican party; that this party never has approached anything neer a popular majority in either of said States; and yet, singularly enough, these are the very States which the republicans count upon carry- ing by the heaviest pluralities. We say plurali- ties, because the common enemy is confident that in these three aforesaid States the over whelming conservative forces opposed to Lin- cola will be frittered away between the Doug- | las, Bell aud Breckinridge orgauizations. In support of this anticipation, it must be conceded that the stumping tour of Mr. Doug- las, row drawing toa close in the West, has betrayed his object to be not eo much the de- feat of Lincoln as the prostration of the Breck- inridge demooracy. Thus, while he has instt- gated the nomination of independent Doug!as electoral tickete in some of the South- ern States, the only effect of which, if they have any effect at all, will be to divert the vote of those States from Breckinridge to Bell, we find Mr. Douglas at every point the persistent enemy of any coali tion with the Breckinridge democracy in the North, a policy which, if followed up, can only result in the election of Lincoln by the solid electoral vote of the Northern States. The plea of Mr. Douglas in support of this singular course on his part is, that the Southern Breckinridge democracy are scheming and reck- lees disunionists, and that the defeat of their candidate, therefore, is as essential to the peace of the country as the defeat of Lincoln. But } as Lincola cannot be ‘defeated except through the assistance of the Northern Breckinridge de- mocracy, Mr. Douglas, in repudiating this as sistance, is simply laboring to elect Lincoln. This can hardly be doubted when it is consider- ed that in no possible event can Mr. Douglas, or Mr. Johneon, in the settlement of this imbro- giio, become the next President of the United States. The Douglas democracy of the North, how ever, ina choice between half a loaf and no bread at all, are very wisely inclined to take _ be balf a loaf. With Lincoln's election they are at once adrift, and without a local habitation or « name; with Lia- coln’s defeat they are at once identified with | the victorious alliance which will thencefor ward become the party in power. Grant that in casting the election into Congress there will be no choice of a President, for want of time, by the House, is it not morally certain teat, in the Vice President, who will be elected by the anti-republican Senate, whether Lane or Eve- rett, we shall have a President who will organize his administration upon the Union basis issues and elements of his elevation to the White House * Actuated by this idea, and properly esti- mating the Southern disunionists in this can- vass as a negative quantity, the Douglas democracy of this State and of Peunsylvania have shown @ proper inclination to come to- gether in bebalf of the paramount object of Lincoln's defeat. Here and there, however, a few factious and wrangling Douglas and Breck- inridge politicians continue to stand in the way, upon what they call democratic princi- ples, when the only principle at stake is that of the peace of the Union against the disunion “ir- repressible conflict” of the republican party. We apprehend that, from this state of things, | we must, for relief, await the issue of the State elections, which come off on Tuesday, the (th instant, ia Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, | Iowa and Minnesota, Io all these States we anticipate republican majorities, excepting } Pennsylvania. She has the materials for a Union | victory against the republicans—these materi- | als are combining upon Foster, the democratic Union candidate for Governor, and with the hope of his triumphant election. Thus, ia 1500, as in 1850, Pennsylvania may turn the tide of | the battle, and settle in October the issue of the November election. In the meantime the anti-repubilican factions of New York, laying aside all their paltry per- sonal considerations in reference to Breckin- nica? SARE ridge or Douglas, or Bell, or in regard to Dean | Richmond, Dickinson, Washington Hunt or | Booby Brooks, or in relation to squatter sove- reignty, or Congressional intervention, or the | obsolete heresies of Know Nothingism, should at once choose between Lincoln's election, whereby all the factions oppoeed to him will be | ground to powder, and Lincoia’s defeat, where- by all the elements combining to effect it will ebare in the organization of the new party which | will be organized under the new administration. This is the only real iesne ia this canvass—Lin- coln’s election or Lincoln's defeat; and while there can be no hope of his defeat so long as bis opponents are divided in the great Central States, it is only necessary that they should be | united in Pennsylvania or in New York to dis- pore of him. They are cordially uniting in | Pennsylvania. Let New York follow their ex- ample, or let all the odds aud ends concerned cease their useless clamor, fold their arms and awail the consequences. | Tus Saternpay Terxovr ty tue Cevrnat | Panx.—The number and splendor of the equi- | peges which turn ont every Saturday in the | Central Park bare become the theme of general nt.

The Fruits of Lincoln's Election—A Wort to the Border States, The exaggerated and dangerous derelope- ment which Senator Seward is giving to the black republican idea in the Northern and Western States ia pregnant with evil for Peun- eylvania and all the communities lying along the northern boundary of the slave States. It is now beyond denial that the aim of the leaders of the party which advocates Lincola’s election to the Presidenay is to agitate for the abolition of slavery everywhere. They dis- claim any intention todo this by other than what they call constitutional means, but at the game time they announce a new interpretation of the constitution and the federal compact widely different from what has been accepted ever since we kaye bad a national existence. The federal courts are to be reorganized by the appointment of abolition Judges, District Attor- neys, Marshals and other federal officers; the army and navy are to be turned from any ser- vice that tends to repress servile agita- tion and commotion, and the whole policy of the government is to be animated with sym- pathy for those zealots and fanatics who believe that they are doing God and society aservice by enabling the negroes of the South to escape from that subjection and control ia which they are maintained by the laws of the Southern States. Such a policy on the part of the fede ral government would give an impulse to the labors of the abolition agitators such as has never hitherto been witnessed, and which would be productive of an excitement on both sides of the line between the free and slave States productive of the moat prejudicial and unforeseen results, We have seen the effect of the secret labors of the abolitionists in the Southern counties of the Central free Siates. They are continually inducing larger or smaller bands of negroes to escape from the South, and seek an asylum in the delusive paradise offered to them in the North. By this system a population is brought into Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and [Illinois of the most vicious and degraded character. To such an extent has this fagt prejudiced the interests and excited the feelings of the indus. trious and thrifty whites in these States, that in some of them legislation hostile to the negro residents has been adopted, and in all of them measures have been sought to pro- tect the rural districts from their pernicious presence. These facts are beyond dispute, and they are known to all. Now, let us accept for a moment, and for the sake of the argu- ment, the black republican prognostications of the effect of their triumph in the approachiog national election. They affirm that the South. ern States will not eecede; that all the new Territories will be closed to slave immigration; that a wall of free States will be erected round the slave States, and that under the pressure of a growing public opinion, slavery, thus hem- med in, must be soon extinguished. In this black republican scheme of future policy nothing is said of the fate of the Soath ern negro population. What, then, is to be- come of the four millions of slaves whose en forced industry now constitutes the prosperity of the South, and whose domestic subjection forms the safety of Southern society’ With their liberation, whether sudden or gradual, all existing material interests in the South must fall, its present society break up, and both whites and blacks seek other scenes of liveli hood. If the prosperity of the Northern com- munities survives, these must inevitably be overrun by the outpourings of the eight mil- lions of impoverished whites, and four mil- lions of ignorant and uncontrolled negroes, | whose former social ties and material ia- terests would be destroyed. In such an exodus from the South, Pennsylvania and all ihe Central free States would be the first to be overrun by the newly emancipated and indolent blacks. Whoever has contemplated the negro in any other light than as a Gt subject for political agitation knows what would be the result. The rural districts would be overran with thieving negroes: crops, orchards, gardens and farmyards would be the scenes of their con- stant depredations, and the industrious inbabi- tants would be despoiled of the fruits of their industry in every way. The towns and villages would be filled with a pauper and occupation- Jess population that would eat out their sub- stance and overburthen them with poor rates for their support. The border free States would be able to free themselves from these results only by an inhuman anti-negro legislation and the constant maintenance of vigilant and costly patrols and police. But let us concede still further to the black republican fallacies. Let us suppose that emancipation will not be suddea, that it will be resisted by the South, and that the extinc- tion of slavery everywhere, as proclaimed | by the black republican leaders, must be attained by continual agitation and | slow degrees. Will the border free States be any better off! Take Pennsylvania, with a black repnblican State government and a black republican policy ruling at Washington, with State and federal courts sympathizing with the abolition) with postmasters and United States Marshals appointed from among the wost active of its advocates, with State, county and town officers all conniving in the agitation and open and secret wor against slavery, how many thousands of black ond indolent paupers would be run from Virginia into the black republican paradise in Pennsylvania? Tens of thousands yearly. We need not tell the people of Peon- sylvonia what would be the effect of sugh a state of things on their interests. They know italready. Butthey should ask themselves, if a few hucdreds of runaway negroes are now so pernicious and éistasteful to them, what will the many thousands be that they must have uno- der a block republican government! It is becanse the inevitable danger of snch results from the triumph of the black republi- can policy is evident to Cameron, of Pennsylra bla, Dayton, of New Jersey, and many other public men in the Central free States, that they are now laboring to disclaim the abolition idea tha es black republicanism. They know th titnents can havenosympathy with the aboli Wilson, Sumner Helper, Greeley aod their fanatical followers, rd nism of Sex SSS sss SSeS SS sss sss ists se ssstsensssscesesntpmsne-onsnnisnet and they bave none. They joined the black republican party from other motives than zeal for aati-elavery, and cow they find themselves Grawn irresistibly into the whiripool of its anti- slavery war. They cannot eave themselves— they caunot control their party policoy—for oiber more enthusiastic, more excited and more bitter partisans are its real leaders. In this crisia the congervative preas of Pennsyivania has a high and a noble duty to perform. Their proximate State election is soon to come off, and its results will have au important influence on the future of Pennayivania and of the whole country. They should press home upon the politicians and the people the questioa— What will become of the negroes when black repub- licanism triumphs? They should call Penasyl- vania to consider what ehe will do with hun- dreds of thousands of emencipated and escaped slaves that will fee to her borders. The con- servative interests everywhere are uniting to preveat the calamities that the black republican triumph would briag upon the country. Let them unite in Pennsylvania in support of Foster now, and of one conservative Presidential ticket. And, above all, let them beware of Forney, and the whole set of false conserva- tives, who have sold themselves to the black republicans, and who now counsel division and discord among the conservatives, in order to euable the fanatical mivority to triumph. Tar Atwcury Niegen mw tHE Errscopar Cuvrou.—It appears from the proceedings of the Protestant Episcopal Convention of this State, which body met in this city on Wednes- day and adjourned sine die on Friday night, that it is almost as impossible to keep the irrepressible African out of the Episcopal cburch as it is to eject him from the Methodist or Baptist eanctuaries. The annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church is held for the sole purpose of arranging the affairs of the diocees for the year ensuing. The duties of the delegates, both lay and clerical, are fixed by canon, rubric and precedent. They come together to arrange the local affairs of the Church, and for no other purpose on earth. Still we find, az in the case of the Tract Society, there comes to the Episcopal Coavention, every year, a lay delegate with a little nigger under his arm. This friend of the African is Mr. Jay, who is well known as having been at one time a leader in the ranks of the radical abolitionists. Mr. Jay was a very loud shrieker for Kansas, and was deeply interested ia the founding of the repub/ican party. He helped to plant the tree, he digged about its roots and watered it; but the heathens, fn the shape of the broken down politicians of all the other factions, came in and enjoyed the fruit. Mr. Jay was, per- haps, disgusted with this conduct, or, perchance, he found politics too low, and altogether unworthy the attention of a gentleman. Atany rate Mr. Jay retired to private life, and now turns up annually at the Episcopal Convention with aset of abolition resolutions, which he preeses most persistently. This year he put them in at an early stage of the proceedings, and they were, as usual, voted down. Mr. Jay then took a back eeat, and waited for another chance. It came not to him, however, but to an- other brother, Mr. Silkman, whose name has not, before this time, reached the ears of the public. Mr, Silkman hae been much exercised in his mind by reading in a London paper that the Epis- copal Church in the United States was “quite prepared to justify man stealing,” which is an eminently agreeable and particularly British view of the matter. Mr. Silkman desired to meet this charge by a plump denial, and report- ed to the Convention a series of resolutions con- demning the foreign slave trade. The members of the Convention were as much astonished as if they had been called upon solemaly to say that they were op- pozed to eitber or all of the seven capital sins, which would have been quite as sensible an idea. Dr. Vinton recovered sufficiently to raise a point of order, which was decided against him by the right reverend the Bisbop in the chair. On appeal, the Convention sustained Dr. Vin- ton, and the little nigger was again ejected from the Convention, which adjourned in a very refreshing condition of mind. ‘The resolutions of Mr. Silkman are so absurd in their general scope that we wonder how the Bishop could bave entertained them for a mo- ment. Ever since the I’rotestant Episcopal Church was established (more than four centa- ties ago) it has condemned the slave trade. In this country the church has always taken ground ogninst the African slave, trade on account of its inhumanity, to say nothing Of its illegality, and for a State Convention in New York to go to work and condemn the trade by solemn resolution would be utterly absurd. The qnestion was settled forty years ago, and the fact that it has been brought up agein is only another evidence of the pertinacity with which the negro worshippers force their god into all temporal and spiritual matters, The resolutions of Jay and Silkman are evidently intended as entering wedges whereby the Church, North and South, is to be split in twain, The majority of the delegates have shown a refreshing amount of common sense, by their promptitude in turning the slavery question in any form out of doors, and confining themselves to the affairs of the Church in this diocess—the duty wil whieh they are especially charged by their constituents, As Innernessta.e Coxyurcr Betwems As- serTios ANY Fact.—Senator Seward takes so much care in the elaboration of bis arguments that he bas not time to bestow attentica on his facts. A striking proof of this isto be found ina statement made by him in his speech at Dubnque on the 2ist ult. In endeavoring to make out that the negro slave in the South is reduced os nearly as possible to the condition of a brute, he resorts to the bold assertion that ia all the wannfacturing establishments of the United States there is not one African slave to be found. This shows that in his anxiety to bring about the “irrepressible conflict” between North and South he is determined to stick at nothing that may stand in the way of #0 patri- otic an object. Mr. Seward forgets, however, that although the truth may be distorted it can- not be entirely ignored. It will be recollected that at the beginning of the year we despatched a gentleman from our establishment to investigate the condition of the Southern States and to report upon the treatment of the slave population. Ina letter from Huntsville, Alabamo, extracts from which will be found in another column, our reporter shows that the ex- periment of employing slaves in factories had been attended with the most complete ¢ there being (rom aiaety-five to one hundred of a s them in one mili alone on the Flint river. 60 far were they from being “tmcompecent to weave, to cast aehuttle or turna wheel,” a3 Mr. Seward etates, that the overseer of the fac- tory informed him that they were as easy to teach, did their work better and were more easily managed than the general run of white operatives. The goods of this factory are, moreover, bighly esteemed by planters and merchants, and have received no less than thir- teen prizes at different fairs, But Huntaville is not the only place where our reporter found slave labor successfully engaged in manufac tures. If Mr. Seward will take the trouble to refer back to bis letters he wil! find evidence that there are thousands of slaves similarly em- ployed all over the South. Such are the arguments of which the cam- paign rpeeches of the black republican leaders are made up. Reckless assertion, unscrupulous Perversions of fact and an utter contempt for public opinion are, however, the ft weapons of a party whose means are anarchy and revolu- ‘ion, and whose objects plunder and political ascendancy.

Oa Wednesday we bad “Robert to Diable’ in Freach. Colson's Alice was exceedingiy good; but as to the others, tho least aid tao better, “Lucrezia Borgia,” with Pat- bri acd Stigol!!, was givea on Thursday, and in default of the Frenok @pera, which was announced, the “Travis- ta” was song on Fritay, On Saturday Mme Fabbri sang (third ight conscoatively) in “ Nabuco,”’ ome of Verdi's noisicst works—a case of wx ef praterea nihil, aw a joker la the lobby remarkod.

Mr. Bervadio closed bis Upera season at Niblo’s Garden ou Saturday, and opens at the Bes. tou theatre tonight. The Cortesi troupe gave the * Trey "on Tuesday for the debut of F. Amodio, who was quite successful. This young artist haga fine high baritone voice, and when he shall have recovered trom that awful malady called stago fright, he will be « most valuable acceszion to the operatic forces. Ju the theatres the week bas not beca a very busy one. Mr. aad Mra. Barney Wiliams (ished a three weeks en- esgement at the Wicter Garden ou Saturday evening. At Wailack’s the “Royalist,” and anow Londan farce, A Base for a Widow,” have been played through the week. The Sere bill will be repeated to-night, and to-morrow Mr. Brovgham’s new comedy, ‘ Playing with Fire,” will be produced, with Mr, Lester Wallack, Blake, A. H. Davem- port (ret eppearance here), Mrs. Hoey aud Miss Mary Gannon, Mr, Forrest has played Hamlet during the weets to immenge houses, as before. The reserved places have been taken two days before the performance, under which Pleasing étate of things, “ Hamlet’? will be repeated om Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week. Meantime the mapagemeat ts taking advantage of Mr. Forrest's “long epell’’ in ‘Hamlet’ to prepare the other plays im his repertoire in the best manner. Decidedly the most interestiog event of this week witt be Miss Cushman’s renfrée. This celebrated it, after am aleence of three years, returns to the aad com- mences an engagement at the Wiater Garden this evening. Tt ig strange to mark the vicissitudes of public taste. Some few months since the French sensation school of drama reigned supreme. Now that false appetite seems to bave whoily passed away, and a fresh, healthy hunger returned for the chaste and spleudid representations of our own romantic drama, rich in poetry, in striking aad true delineations of Ife and character, in maxims of Heayenborn wisdom and gems of eloquence familiarized into hougchold words, In obedience to this change, we see both Miss Keene and Mr. Waillack withdrewing tho adaptations of French pieces with which they opened the campaign, and announciug the production of legitimate plays. Much of this happy effect is doubt- loss due to the return to the stage of Mr. Ferrest, wha during the past two weeks bas gathered the dramatic public ia bis giant grasp. Bat thie healthy infuence wilt receive a still greater and more refined impulse fromi the representations of the great artist who returns to the stage this evening. It ts not among the least of Miss Cushmen's claims to public favor and affection that ehe bas determined to make the stage of hor own country the Geld of such representations as that love of ber art and of her profession, which even to the !ast clings round the great artist—for she has now happily no other stimulus may induce her to give, Both previous to her laet and present engagement sho has refused large offers to appear ogain on the London slags, Where the greatest eager. ness exists to see her again In her Celebrated per- gonations. Since sho was last amongst us ghe bas passed ber winter at Rome, living in ac atmosphere of art, and employing, tke a great artist, the fortune which her art has brought her in encouraging and assisting those who, in that creat school, are learning to cultivate and portray the beautifal. Dering the past sum- mer, at Newport, she was the delight and ceatre of a cir- cle of poets, painters and sculptors, aod endeared berself to all who came within ber reach, not more by her power to charm than by her frank, unaffected mapners and unvarying desire to please, Tonight she will be the centre, and doubtless the delight, of « still larger circle of friends, where she wil! Gad an equally warm wel- come and generous apprecivtion. Miss Cushman is ao arte =©/whom this country may, in every sense, feel Prous And itis no small matter for the indulgence of national vanity, that while, as may be seen by our letters in Yhursday’s lexay, the drama in Fraace and Englsud is in a wretched condition of decline, we can present at the same time on our stage twosuch artists a8 Miee Cashman and Mr. Forrest, unsurpassabdie ta their separate schools. Such chances of seeing and com- paring do not occur often in @ lifetime, and the golden op- portenity should not be permitted to pass uaseized, Migs Cushman will commenc> ber engagement in the character of Mre. Haier, Miss Laura Keene announces a new play for this evea- Ing. It i® declared to be‘ @ beautiful aud interesting play of Irish character and construction, entitled “Aileen Aroon; or, |The Lady of Giammire.” The cast of the new play includes the names of Miss Keene, Mra. Allen, ‘Miss Polly Marshall, Mrs. Hough, Mrs. Vining, Mesers, Daly. Burnett, Leeson, Johnston and others. At the New Bowery theatre Mr. Eddy is playing @ most successful epgagemont, appearing both in the legitimate and sensation drama, and being very successful in both. This evening he appears in an entirely new piay, founded upon incidenta in the life of “Robert Rruce."’ A popalar drama called “Harry Blake’ is announced for the after- piece. At the Bowery Mr. F. 8. Chanfrau, one of the cleverest and most versatile of our comedians, is the chief atirac- tion at present. Ho plays this ereniag in a dreams called “Linda, the Segar Girl,” and the “Widow's Vie- tim.” Mr. Chanfran is fortunate in having so clever aa actress as Mrs. Leighton for tus syubretio characters im bia plays. At Barnum's Musoum ‘Joseph and his Brethren" will ‘ve given this afternoon and crening. Tais drama has had quite « long run and st!!! draws full houses. At the National theatre Dr Jones’ drama, “The Six Degrees of Crime,’’ will be played, with the “Frisky Cobbier” and the “Phantom Bride.’ Bryant's Minstrels, at Mechanica’ Hal!, aud Hooley, at Niblo’s Saloon, give pert acd interesting programmes for » wisters Natali bave joined the lef wing of the Btrakorch troupe, amd sang, with Patti and Brignoli, at the Front Streot theatre, Baltimore. last week.
