We ere often assured by the more hope? ful of the Democratic organs that wo can Safely let things go on for the present aa they are going, and trust that Democratic majorities in Congress will, within two or three years at furthest, correct all the pol Ut? eri mes aud evils that are . perp?tr?t ed. We believe that we ourselves have occasionally ventured to give oomethinff like assurance to the same effect, but we must confess that observation aud reflection tend to fill our minds with deep misgivings and dark fore? bodings. We do not distinctly or even in? distinctly see how the actiou of the ag? gressive spirit of radical audacity and out? rage in Congress is to be effectually resisted. No matter how many members of Congress the Democracy may succeed in electing, the radical members, having all the arbitrary and responsible power of au unprincipled aud unscrupulous majority, will admit just as many of the olecte'd Democrats as they please, and not ono Democrat more. To them the popular voto ia nothing, Weighed against their political necessities Qr even their political or personal preferences, it is less than the dust of thc balance. They manufacture precisely as large u majority for themselves as their purposes, whatever these may be, seem to them to require. For instance, although the Democracy of the nation elected, with unquestionable fairness, considerably more than one-third of the members of the present Congress, expecting thereby to prevent, if necessary, the radical majority from overriding the Executive vetoes during the curront four years as they did during the last four, the radical members excluded so many elected Dem?crata aud admitted so many unelected radicals as to secure for themselves a majori? ty of two-thirds with quite a large margiu to spare, and would have done this even if, in order to accomplish it, they had found themselves under tho necessity of rejecting twice as many elected Democrats and ad mitting twice us many unelected radicals af they did. Ouly by their wishes did thej measure or think of measuring the exton' of their bold and undisguised usurpation.' of power. Worst of all, the people submi to tbese things, if not with patience, at lea, with au appearance of it. We eeo no popu lar outbreak, such as events like those nov occurring would have created only a litth while ago. Most of the people seem t< submit as dumbly as if they were cattle. Just before the late adjournment of th House of Representatives, the radical majorit; cf that body forced iuto it, by their own vob and not on account of any vote of the peo pie of South Carolina of whatever color, ; so-called Representativo of that Stato, 3,00 votes in the miuority in his district. Ol tho same day, iu defiance of the Louisian people, white and black, they forced iut the House, as tho Representative of a di? trict in that State, a niau 0,000 in the in: uority. They havo in the House the mos infamous Election Couiniitteo that coul have been made np in a body of unequale* infamy, aud all opposition to the voico c thc Committee is in vain. And no opportt nity is allowed for fair discussion or eve for the semblance of discussion, all electio cases being decided nuder the stress of th previous question. Wliilo one Represent! tive from Louisiana, representiug nobod but himself, with no constituency whatevt except himself and tho radical majority < the House, is voted into a seat, two gent ino and regular representatives from tl same State, ono of them elected by a majo ity of more than 9,000, aud the other I: more than 30,000, are excluded. Fro Couuecticut, the radical majority take i three radical Representatives without eve certificates of election. The Democracy i the Union elected botween seventy ai eighty members, but the radicalism of Coi gross, by its action in regard to Missoui Tennessee, Louisiana, and persous electe from other States, have cut down the D mocratic strength to between forty ai fifty. Are such things expected to In always? If not, when aud how may \ look for them to bo stopped? Is there i point at which we may venture to hope th tho nation will rise up and demand i rights, hurling from power, at whatev cost, the political miscreants who ha usurped tho Government? Is the ima of freedom, is God's own superscripts crushed out of the souls of our people fe ever? It would soem so; aud yet the country not without hope, for what the people de to civil liberty, justice and humanity, th are pretty suro to concede their own selfi interests when the time arrives for them look at the political situation with referee to their own immediate welfare. Ma questions loom up before us which prom to help us out of the slough of radical m government. A foreign war, as we observ tho other day, might be so employed tho Democratic party as to be an insti ment of usefulness aud power. The lint cial question, too-that has in it seeds combustion which are as yet undivini The negro may provo the destruction of 1 best part of tho Republican party-1 bond-holders-for universal sulfroge n national credit havo been sworn euem since thc birth of political economy.

Cincin? nati and tho Gre nt Lake?. The L?gislature of Ohio has granted au? thority to the oity of Cincinnati to raise, by loan or otherwise, the sum of ten millions of dollars, for the purpose of constructing "Southern roads, or roads which will effect a close and friendly connection between Cincinnati.and the South, and the whole Southern ?yVitorn of rai lr codo. It ia under? stood that the two objective pointa to be reached are Knoxville, Tennessee, and De? catur, Alabama. This action of the Legis? lature is equivalent to securing an enter? prise which, besides opening to Cincinnati the extensive fertile regions of Kentucky and Teuuessee now inaccessible and remote, will command directly, and develop greatly, a trade which Cincinnati now only gets in? directly and expensively through Baltimore, Or circuitously and in a very small measure, by the navigation of the Ohio and tho Mis? sissippi. This enterprise will form the com? manding line betveen the trade of the great lakes and the South, and at no distant day be the great highway for Cuban and South American traffic in intertropical products, which can now only bo supplied by Balti? more aud New York, and which now goes to mako up no inconsiderable portion of the commerce of those great cities. The dis? tance from Cincinnati to Baltimore by the present railway connections is greater than by the proposed hues to Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah, as any ono may ascer? tain by describing upon the map a circlo whose centre shall be Cincinnati, having a radius equal to the distance of Baltimore. We regard this as the most important of railroad enterprises for the development of the South. Of course, Ciuciunati will bo the great railroad centre, the entrepot for trade and commerce between the great lakes and the Southern Atlantic coast and the Gulf. But its benefits to us will bo im? mense. Our trade with the West will be direct, and will be greatly developed. Now it is better to go to Baltimore for Ohio lard and bacon, and to Boston for starch and Boston crackers made from Ohio wheat, than to Cincinnati, simply because we aro de? barred by slow, circuitous routes and exces? sive rates in transportation. For tho same reason, it is better to supply Cincinnati with cotton yarns and sheetings aud shirtings through New York and Philadelphia. For the want of just such railroad connections with the West, nearly tho whole of the do? mestic commerce which naturally flow di? rectly between tho South and the West is transported double the distance, and made subject to the control and tho manipulation of Eastern brokers and speculators, as mid? dlemen. Tho completion of tho enterprise now set on foot in Cincinnati will be tho dawn of a magnificent prosperity for the South and increase that of the West in the develop? ment of her manufacturing industries. [Avjusta Chronicle and Sentinel. -o POLITICAL CORRUPTION.-Perhaps nothing shows the political corruption which is pre? valent in all branches of the Government moro than the conduct of John P. Hale, our Minister to the Court of Spain. Of course, Ministers are allowed to import such articles as are necessary for their personal or family use, free of duty. But no one would suppose they would turn smugglers and defraud thc Government to which they are acccredited, as well as disgrace tho Go? vernment whose representatives they hap? pen to be. But Mr. John P. Hale, ex aholitiou candidato for President, and now Minister to Spain, has none of the scruples which ordinarily govern men. In October, 1800, he was detected in bringing in 830 pounds of cotton, 1,500 pounds woolen felt, 111,000 pounds of carpeting, 375 pounds of linen damask, aud TOO pounds of curtain goods. These goods wore not for his own I use, as will bo seen by thoir -amount, but were for a certain commercial company in I Madrid with which ho is connected, and in j the profit of which he was to shave. Can anything be more disgraceful? Ought he I not, have beon stripped of all his diplomatic I privileges, and tried as any other foreigner I would be, nuder the laws of Spain, for the : ofieuse of smuggling?
