From the New Haven Palladium. THE BLACK SABLES. Messrs. Editors: In a recent letter of I "JoKdCU.iV your former correspondent, she i ti i tells a irood storv. which 1 have copied in r.

uch a form as may do for publication. It is at your son ice, if you sec fit to give it a place in your paper. Respectfully, SARAH. I have a good slory to tell you, and you must read mo patiently to the end, in order! that you, too, may enjoy what has made my poor sides aclio with laughter, as they have hot done for manv a day. You remember that pretty little Mrs.

whom you met here one day last summer. Did or did I not tell vou what a perfect witch sho is, and now sno contrives to twisv uw uu every body else around her finger, almost without an effort I Well, she camo dancing in yesterday morning, wearing the most su-purb set of sables they must have cost a little fortune. No one but myself would have noticed them, for tho bright face above them was radiant with beauty and gladness, and would havo rivitod the gv-oof the coldest eynic in creation. But I havo been persecuting T. for a set of Genin's crmins, and of course my eye fell at once upon the sables, and I exclaimed "Yon extravagant reAtiire Where did vou tret them P' "Extravagant," said she, "not a bit of it.

Where did I getthcra! My husband of course. See what beauties they are! They must have cost an imensity poor fellow but then ho had to do it." "Because tou fascinated him said I. "No, indeed, I won them on the election." "On tho election! How! you haven't certainly, been betting on Buchanan! "Not I. I wouldn't have bet a pin on him, though they say ho has gained the day. Til tell you all about it but first lot mo get off this thing from my neck your parlor's like an oven." So saying she pitched her cape at tho cat, and, laughing to see how the creature's back rose at the insult, began thus: "You know how George and I havo fought about this election he for Fillmore and I for Fremont and how many times he has tried to silence mo, by saying that women know nothing of politics which by tho way, I don't, in tho least, beliove.

Do look at the jt." "Never mind tho cat go on with your artory." "Yes certainly where was I 0, yes. Well as I said, wo did everything we could but devour each other. It was such morti fication to mo to have him vote for one who would stoop to as Fillmore has done. So one day I said well, I shan't let tou rote I shall keep yon to home. He laughed heartily, and replied" "That's moro than you can do my dear." "Will you give me leave to try." "Yes, and more.

I'll promise you a set -of sables, if I don't cast my vote for Fillmore on the fourth of November. "Honestly and truly "He promised yes. That was two weeks before the election just look at the at, fcore, puss, "puss." It was plain that she never would get through with her story while tho eat remained in the room, so I yickod np pussy, without saying a word, and put her out. means go on, I suppose," laughed Sophie. Well, as I said before, this was two woeks before tno fourth, and from that I didn't open my lips to George upon the subject.

Tho next day tho came to make us a visit, and our time was so completely occupied with catering for their amusement, that the election was scarcely alluded to; and as for tho bet why, itseem-d quito forgotten. But you may be sure that my brain was busy enough, revolving ways and means to win the sables. I whispered the secret to tho Ts, who entered into my feelings entirely: and no wonder, for ono of them has no furs at all, and the other carries a muff, which she declares is even generations old. We concluded to invite company for Monday evening, and so on the morning of that day we drove around among our sympathizing that, is our Fre-monlfriends and neighbors, and gathered up as many as we could get at conveniently. Tn th v(ninr wo mustered twentv.

our selves included, all on tip-toe to dance till morning, if necessary, to tho success of our plans. George, who dearly loves mcrry- irmtifur. was delimited at the prospect ot a romp, though ho 'wished I had deferred it ill after the election, when it would serve as a colctbration of tho approaching lllmore victory. Hero interrupted Sophie, to tell her how ridiculous such an idea was, and I added tlmt I thought her husband knew better. Sho flew up and at ma in a minute.

"There don't laugh at my husband that's my privilege alone, madam." I wa3 still as a mouse, and she went on. 1, But, to make a long story and a long night short as possible, we danced till four o'clock in the moruing, when I told George that if ho wanted to bi in town early ho had better retire. He took she hint, and, before many minutes, was sloeping like a top. I crept up to his room and quietly closed the shutters outside, and in drawing down the till it wa, as dark as Erebus. Be- or not.

He yawned and asked the time. Quite late, I said, and added, 'do come down soou, for the girls and I arc Ere long he made his npp-arance in the breakfast room, bowing good -'morning' all round wo meantime tryiii" our best to look demuro as so manv nuns.

Mr. Buchanan's California letter on the subject of tho Pacific Railroad, has already begun to brow trouble at tho South and tho Charleston Standard says, in reference to this matter: "Wo would hesitate to counsel a course so revolutionary as that of withholding from Mr. Buchanan tho clectorial vote, but it is a subject worthy of serious consideration, whether we should yet go on and inauger-ate a President, ono" of tho very first measures of whose administration will bo most to the hand of tho Black Republican Party, consolidation is the end they aim at, and no measure, not even the admission of Kansas as a Free Stato, will lead so directly to such a consumation." The Effect. The Louisville was sure tho election, that tho effect of Buchanan's success would bo to coufirm and strengthen the Republican movement It now adds: "And this has been tho effect thus far, and must inevitably continue to be tho effect hereafter. Tho Frecsofl party is decidedly stronger at this moment than it was on the 4th of November, and, if Mr.

Buchanan, as President, shall meet in any degree tho wishes and expectations of his Southern friends nnd supporters, that party will in less than one year bo powerful enough to sweep tho democracy from the face of the land in every non-slaveholding State in the Union." Contested Seats. In the lower House of the Illinois Legislature there are two con tested seats, on the settlement of which will depend the political complexion of the Legislature. In both cases the Republican can didates received a majority, but the certificates were given to tho Democratic candidates, on account of technical errors in the returns. Should both seats be given to the Republican candidates, that party will have three majority in tho House. "How is your husband this afternoon, Mrs.

This evil should be corrected without delay; the public demand and our Railroad manatee rs themselves ask that legislation should correct this evil.

Most assuredly Railroads should not be permitted to cross esich other on tho samo level.

TKo "flvincr Ktrnrrrrlfis" of President Pierce do not excite tho sympathy which might; naturally bo expected. The press of his own nartv sustain 111m coiaiy. ana vno in-, dependent and Republican press do not spare him. The New York Times says: His Message, sent into Congress yesterday, is the most unbecoming and malignant party diatribe wo have ever seen from so high a quarter. One-half of this document is devoted to a studied falsification of politi cal history, as tho basis of a libel npon those of tho American voters (over two millions 1 1 1 .1 in numuerj wno uisappruv ms iiuiuuiisun-tion.

This is dono under the false pretence of giving to tho country 'information of the stato of tho The comments of the Evening Post arc in tho samo strain. It says: The gross indecency of Mr. Pierce's annual message is a common topic of remark. It is generally allowed to be just such a document as we might expect from tho rep resentative of a party which employs blud geons instead of arguments. This is the first example of gross indecorum of which any President has been guilty in, any message addressed to tho national legislature; but tho reign of decorum is ended." Tho TrUmne is equally severe in its com ments.

It speaks thus of this tirade ot abuse This is not tho diction suited to a grave public document it is tho slang of a reckless demagoge on tho stump. It degrades tho Presidential office, and will only serve to exasperate those whom it assails, misrepresents and defames. No man ever stood moro self-condemned than Franklin Pierce, when, after having hurled at the objects of his malevolent abuse all the foul charges he could imagine, ho finally accuses them of "unreasoning intemperance of thought and language." The Pittsburgh Gazette gives Mr. Pierce tho following "wipe, which we take to be rather a poser: "Ho stoons to discuss the recent Presiden tial campaign in dreary platitudes as falso as they aro stale. He kindly volunteers in that connection, tho remark that in the re sult of tho lato election, "tho people havo proclaimed their unalterable attachment to the Union and the Constitution We might well enquire, if it "were worth tho candle," whether among tbeso union-lovers wo aro to enumerate the spawn ot South ern chivalry, who, like Quixotto Brooks, per ambulated the sand-hills anti tar Darreis 01 tho South, proclaiming on every stump that they "had been secessionists ana aisuniouisis as long as they could remember; but we let that pass.

much to sar that Its construction will not only bring Wesr tern America into mire intimate and kindly relations with both shores of the Atlantic, but that San Francisco an.l N'ew York will thereby become stations on the quickest route from both Australia and China to England and Franc. It may seem too much to expect that our Tes iwill reach ns overland rather than by sea, and from the West instead of the East; vet that is by no means impossible. That the completion of this road would quadruple thpera-igration from the Atlantic slope and the UisMSsippi Valley to the shores of the Pacinc, will hardly be doubted. We believe that it would render California the most desirable new eountrv, and Sin Francisco or some other Pacific terminus one of tho most populous and wealthy cities on thTnolate Presidential contest has brightened the prospect of the road considerably. The nomination of Col.

Fremont, who had lor years been prominently identified with the sorvevs and explorations for this rood, and who (for a wonder) "was not even accused of hostility to its construction, tairlv constrained the rival parties to take position on the sullject. The American party had already done so in its platform. The Democratic party, in its last National Convention at Cincinati, at firnt voted down a favoring resolve by a decided majority, but afterward reviewed the subject, on the urgent representation of the Californ.a delegates that their State was lost beyond redemption unless tho back track were taken, whereupon a vague and grudeing resolve in favor of the road was earned by a dind-j a Tk. Convention of course expressed a hearty and emphatic approval of the road; and CoL i re-mont Indue time followed with a letter to California, avowing that devotion to the great work which no intelli- gentman ever uouuieu.

Senator Douglas' recent visit to his mother in Ontario county, N. was signalized by the compliment of a public supper and a ball. Of course he made a speech, which is reported at length in tho Ontario Repository.

We quote the following, as showing the moral effect of the tremendous Northern Republican Majorities in bringing tho "littlo giant" to a deferential recognition of the majesty of their protest. Speaking of tho introduction of slavery into tho Territories, he said The Territories, in particular, where Slavery has not yet been introduced, were in no danner of admitting the institution, as it was against the general conscience and prejudices of the people of the country, both. North and South." Gen. Shields, who was present, followed Douglas' speech, substantially ro-iterating tho arguments of the latter, and making this unexpected admission: Ho said, "he was opposed to the extension of Slaver he was a thorough anti-Sla very man; and were he an inhabitant qf Kansas, he should-oppose the introduction of the system into that Territory. It will bo borne in mind that these dec- lnrntions are made after the efection.

If the men who uttered them will only remember in their future political action, when called upon to decide between slavery and freedom, that the former is "against tho general conscience and prejudices of tho people of the country, both North and South," wo may hope that the lesson taught them by the last campaign, will have a lasting and salutary effect.

That northern democrats may see what is tho tone and feelingof tho southern press since tho election, wo give them tho following rich extract which is taken from the New Orleans Delta, of tho 28th November. What we said in regard to the true issue, before the presidential contest, is now being fulfilled.

The black democracy at the north are acting in concert with the the slaveholders of the south. The Delta "Regrets are useless; the question for today is, what must be done to maintain the present security, and "organize the future The confusion of tho election is over: the re-1 suit is known; Jones is sure of his office, Brown is satisfied, and Robinson smiles approval from under his Democratic mustache so tho time for solid work has arrived. And, in our humbie opinion, wo can do nothing bettor than imitate the north, by preserving the samo attitude which we assumed before the election, or, in other words, by not stacking our arms, but handling them leflly as ever. Instead of waiting for events to develop themselves in Kansas, we should make events by encouraging Southern emigration, and securing her admission on a slavery basis. What is James Buchanan to us if wo loose Kansas? Will his venerable countenance in the White Honse remunerate us for the creation of a Free State on tho flank of Missouri and threateningly overhanging Texas Further, we should assert promptly and determinedly the noble cause in which William Walker is engnged, knowing that it is our cause at bottom help him onward step after step, with money, with men, with voice and hand until a portion, at least, of his magnificent programme is achieved.

At home, our leading statesmen and independent journals should unite in harmonious concert with one hope, one destiny, striving for the organization of a healthy public opinion in tho such as the Revolutionists described as "opinion with a helmet on the head, and a long sword by its side," reason is a great power in tho modem world, but armed reason is invinci ble. It is unnecessary to add that if we permit the respite, like" Carlyle's "blue day," to come and go without result, to "pass useless away," we deserve the contempt which our Northern cotemporaies aro so ready to lavish upon us. Wo must organize for there is no strength save in organisation and we must do so at once. "How say our brethren of the Southern press Are they ready for the good work If so let the corner stone of the csoutherx Party be laid as soon as possible, amid the prayers and hymns, and rising perfumes, nnd pealing bells, and tho cheerful shouts of a raultitudous people.
