Second Congressional District.
DOUBLY TRIUMPHANT!
The Ancient Henderson laid ON a very
high Shelf!
Ciarh Elected by One thousand JMajority''

The Returns received from the Different coun
ties, composing the second Congressional Dis
trict, warrant us in announcing the cheering in.
telligence of Judge Clark's Election by, at least
ONE THOUSAND MAJORITY! ~
THIS Is MORE THAN DOUBLE THE LARG EST
MAJORITY EVER BEFORE OBTAINED IN THE DIS
rRIcT, and is sure guarantee not only o, the
Unity of the Democratic party in the support of
their principles, but also of the unbounded popu-
larty of the Candidate.
In confering this distinguished honor upon
Judge Clark, the people have exemplifed their
appreciation of his high individual worth, and
have but done justice to themselves, in choosing
for their servant, one with whom their interests
may be entrusted with the utmost safety.
Judge Clark has for long time been regar-
ded by many, as ''the strongest man in the dis
trict," and was regarded by majority of the
Convention which put him in nomination. We
have been disposed SO to regard him, and have so
expressed ourself, on many occasions, and the
majority, with which he has come out of the
Canvass has proved conclusively that the opin-
ion was well founded. We appeal to those few
who have heretofore combatted this opinion, to
listen to the voice Of the people, that voice for
which they profess the greatest Difference and to
which they have ever showna willingness to
bow .l.. ..
The following is record of that voice, so far
haoh

refused to receive title, or to secure one for

Means used to defeat the CompromIsc.


We cut the following from letter from the
Washington correspondent of the Boston Times
dated the 18th ult 1t will be seen by it what
means were restored to, and what combinations
formed for the defeat of the adjustment:
1T IS truly amusing to the proud southern
hull1ers-the chlvalry par excellence, associate
with the rankest free soil fanatic. and inon;re
what they must do to defeat the bill. 1t is anu
sing say to see Mr.. Benton and Mr. Jeff. Da.

of them shall speak first and who shall fellow
Seward and Hale are foremost in this game of
treason, and readest to embrace the Southern
nulliters, to the destruction Of the bonds which
tie the Union and secure US place in the family
OF nations: There Is not day, nor has there
been tor three months, that these nullifers and
abolltlonists have not consulted together as to
the best manner ofgving the quietus to The bill
1t was ''the Omnibus in which rode the white
man and the negro, Jew and Gentile,'' which
mas stopped up the road and prevented every o.
of the fanatics North and South against the Un-
ION, which prevented all wholesome legislation.
ana brought the country to the verge Of ruin.
Gov. Seward has been the Magnus Anollo
OF all the factionists. TWAS in his profound rev.
erence for religion and christianity, ethics and
morals, which made him consult daily with the
most ultra of Southern shareholders the
fanatics OF bondage as to the best means of pre-
venting California from coming into the Union,
ana charging her failure to be admitted to the
friends of the Compromise bill, reported by the
committee of thirteen. There never was such
sanctimonious hypocrte-sacrifcing every prin-
clple of common decency to the furtherance of
his selfish plans-as Gov. Seward; and vet, this
man claims to be champion Of freedom and of
human rights! Not only is non-action his plan.
but it is also the plan Of his disunion associates
from the South. They not only mean to kill
the bill, but they are also leagued together to
prevent the passage of every other measure that
can secure peace to the country. Their object
is to stave off the final vote on the bill as long as
possible, in order to render the time Of the SEES
sion too short to get up another bill, and to pre-
vent the consideration and passage of separate
bills, as contemplated by the friends of the COM
promise. This, you may depend on it, is the
object of Hale, Seward, and Benton; and i, is the
condition on which the Southern disunionists
have agreed to follow their lead. The two
extremes of the Union are united to crush the
centre. 2rta

z Idle RUMoUR-The rumour which was SO in
dustriously circulated in our streets on Saturday
last, Of a contemplated row, to come off on that
night, was not only without foundation, but mis-
chievous in its design and tendency. There is
manifest desire on the part of some, to engen-
der feeling Of hostility between our foreign
and native population. We hope that all good
citizens will frown down such attempts and will
turn deaf car to these idle rumours, set in mo-
ton for such unworthy purposes.

The Democracy of Iowa, and indeed the PEG

intelligence and worth in the election of Mr..

The Wing partisans had made desperate cf-
forts to decry him, because of his profession as
a lawyer, and his former connection with the po-
ltics of the State.

positive enactment conflicting with the compro-
misses and pledges of the constitution and inter-
national treaties
We had hoped for better things even from the
present Congress-, which we regard with no feel
ings of complacency. Many of it's members
seem to have forgotten that they had duties to
perform, rights to protect or constituencies to
represent.
Their votes and speeches have been actuated
by some extraneous motives apart from the in
terests OF their constituents and the welfare OF
the Union, and the result has been the loss Of
the only measure of public utility acted upon in
session OF seven months. Could such meagel
and Improbable consequences be the result Of
attention to the public business during such q
period of time
No one acquainted with the influence which a
few we'll disposed members could exert upon
the business of Congress can believe that any
considerable portion Of that body was disposed
to push the public business to legitimate result
within the usual time occupied for such purpo.
ses.
On this compromise bill, each one wanted to
be heard speak upon every point, put in issue
either by the bill itself or by the effects it was
calculated to produce, as if long speeches could
justify or palliate the votes given by selfish mo.
tives or interested partiality
Senators and Representatives too often forget
that their votes belong more to their constitu.
ents than to themselves, and acting upon this for
getfulness of their duties they frequently defeat
the dearest interests of those by whom they had
been selected as their agents.
This is peculiarly the case in the defeat ofthe
compromise.
The vast majority of the American people
longed for the peace it was intended and calcu.
laten to produce, but just they had fancied
that the elements of discord had been absorbed
and neutralized by union Of salutary substan.
ces, they feel but too soon that all is lost Thei,
agents have been unfaithful, and now confusion
doubt and despair, take the place Of hope, Ger.
tainty, and union. -.t F.
