Krom Uu H. Y. World. The ffreat conservativo Uiuniph ii tlie NorlhiTii elections prepares the way for hu eiwily reuiarkuble politioal revolution in tlif 8uth. It will cali forth tho ] tent Union sentiment of that suctiou, givmg tie Unionista tonable ground to . stand on, and eournga to. lípep eaoh othcr in oiunteiiaiice. Tlioy have, thus far, been hunted down as nbolttionists, just as tin; Nnrtliern dutnoerats havo been howied do;i i Hutitora There is uo possibiljty of ruatorjng the old Union escept tliTOHgh (vu anti-secossiiin parly in the South. TLote was no possibüity of sm-!i a party white the rcpublicans held political control of tliö Ñoi'th. These electioiis have demonstrated to the Soutli that the Noi thern peoplo are not abolítionista. Uuan.iuous as the South has seemed, wo iiow hope for a speedy reaction. Let a poiitical revolution against the JeiF. Davis go'vorumsot take place in that seetion, :md we should havo peace and allegianoe i:i ïiincty days. If we have oaiisot of dissatisfaction, the South hasgroater. It has been deceived in all the expöctations with which it entoredon the war. Cotton hasnot provcd omnipo tept; foreign Powers have uot interfered; Southern privatecr.s havo inflicted com paratively little mischief. Southern cur rency is at a more ruinous deprociation than ours. Hih-hai4od nïts of arbitrary power havo been as rife there as hete, and uothiog ia so ealuulatud to rouso the ind'gnation of a protid and Ligh spirited poop!e as aggres.-ions on their personal rights. All these eleraents of discontent have accumulated ia the South, like a combustible ready to be lighted, but the wet bhmket of abolition has protected them froui any igniting spark. This great politieal revolución in the North explodes the abolition humbug. A Soulhern Union pariy ean now start up agaijjst the govermnent of Jeff Davis, triumpliiiiitly repelling the charge of nbolition by pointing to the conservative victories jnst gained. It tlie Uuion is ever sa ved, it will be by such a party eo-operating with the democratio party of the North.
