The Question Decided.

The question Of the right OF The mem
bers OF the House OF Representatives,
elected contrary TO law, to hold their
seats 10 that body, having been decided
in their favor by The House, the mem
bers thus elected will retain their seats,
the Constitution and The Law 10 the
contrary Notwithstanding. The ques
lion, however, though thus decided, il
not settled. but will be appealed from to
the tribunal al the People, concerning
whose Judgment lhereupon we cannot
elbow ourselves to entertain doubt
OF tho merits and conslituionaliIy Of
The law oflhe lost Congress, which the
House Of representatives. has ridden
over and trodden in the dust, we have
already heretofore delivered our opn
ion, with The grounds Of il; and on that
head we have nothing 10 add.
But doctrine has been sci tup during
The debate on this question, and has
been made the ground Of decision against
the law. which, although not entirely

We have not yet had umo t. make Il 70

We are too much occupied with the ru'
suits of the past--too much Covered with
Ianx ety as to what has been done, to think
calmly Of what has to be performed, -
There is a time Tor all things and IN du,'

to the great and paramount question OF

broad ensign Of our country, the Amer

neverbe lowered while we have strength

may say, however, 10 those who are de-
termined to be with us IN sustaining
4merican interests, American citizens and
american honor by american hearts and
american hands without foreign dictatlon
and foreign votes, that the signs through
out the length and breadth Of the land
are most suspicious! That salutary
modification Of the Naturalization Laws
is TO be the great raltying cry Of the
American people, independent OF dema
gogues and parllsans, there can be ne
sort Of doubt We see, hear and feel il
every day and hour Of our lives, The
great deep OF public opnior, of Amerl-
can opinion, is aroused, and no human
power can stay its onward progress!-
The frauds, the perjuries, the violence
and vlllanies, which now disgrace our
elections, and pollute our ballot boxes,
are having the happiest effect. They
are opening the eyes OF the American
people to the danger which environ them,
to the volcano which slumbers beneath
their feet. They see aud appreciate
their peril; they are determined to act
promptly, (ea rlessly and energetcally.--
The cause is one which appears to the
strongest feelings and the warmest sym

will not, can not, dare not hesitate. He

THE ELECTIONS.

Nav JERSEY. -The "Jersey Blues
are true 10 their principles, Clay and
Frelinghuysen have undoubtedly swep'
the state.
KENTUcKY.--The wing majority in this
state will probably exceedlO,000 votes,
possibly 10000.
New HAMPsHIRE.-This old granite
state has probably gone for Polk by an
increased majority.
GEoRGIA-This state has, in all prob.
ability, cas-, its electoral vote for Polk
and Dallas.
PENNsYLvANIA.--The twen,ysix cleo
toral votes will assuredly be cast for
Polk and Dallas.
ARKANsAs.-This state has given the
locofoco ticket her usual overwhelming
m ajori,y.
LoUIsIANA.--From all the information
in our possession we are inclined to the
Opinion that Louisiana has gone for Polk
by majority ranging somewhere be.
tween 500 and 1000 votes.
TENNEssEE,-In this state the contest
has been extremely close, but we have
no doubt, from the returns we have re-
ceived, that a majority of the people
have cast their votes for Harry Of the
West.
NORTH CARoLINA.-From the sold nortl
state" the returns are ALTERING. We
entertain no doubt but thS, the Wing,
have been triumphant.
In Rhode Island, Connecticut anc
Maryland, the Wings are victorious.
lNDIANA,--The scale is so nearly bal
anced in the Hoosier state, that we will
have to wait for the official returns be
fore the result will be known.
