pORTFNTS

The result of the election in Pennsylvania is
claimed IN some quarters as Buchanan tri-
umph. This, we are assured, is mistake. II
we have been correctly informed, neither of
those respectable gentlemen, Messrs. Buchanan
and Webster, who have been laboring to hunk.
erise their respective parties, can congratulate
himself ON the result The only Democratic
candidate for the Supreme Bench who was de-
feated, was Mr. Buchanans particular friend.
James Campbell He was defeated, notwith-
standing Mr.. Buchanan's indefatigable efforts
to prevent such a catastrophe. The Pennsyl.
vania statesman, Democratic paper published
in Philadelphia says that the nomination of
Mr.. Campbell was urged by MIR. Buchanan
personally and ndefatigablyn aud that he
spent almost week of his precious time in
'ntercepting the delegates previously to the
convention to secure his nomination. This indi-
Gates the deep interest which Mr. Buchanan
took IN Judge Campbelrs election, and the re-
suit is anything but ilattering to his own hopes

as distinguished from the Horal instruction of
slaves, necessarily strikes at the "peace and Sc
curtyn Of society.
The Appeal seems to be under the impression
that Abolitionists favor the education OF slaves,
1t is not far out of the way. We are really in''
clined to think that the more ideas q nan has,

90 for educating all men, so that all men may
be fit for freedom; for if Luther and Milton, Cal
vim and Sydney Wesley and Jefferson, to say
nothing of a greater than all these, are to be be-
lieyed, men are far safer in their own keeping
than in that of despotc priests or masters
The appeal to the People of Memphis to put
down Sunday schools for slaves. because Adolf
tionists are pleased with them, is very reasona-
BILE Abolitionists are always pleased when
shareholders treat their slaves kindly-a capital
reason, we suppose, why they should inhict cru
elites upon them Abolitionists, too, are quite
favorable to freedom of speech and of the press,
which is certainly conclusive evidence that the
South should not tolerate free press or free
speech!
The Appeal invOkcs public sentiment T"

dicted as "nuisances or, everything else fail
ing. it would have law passed, making it a
penitentiGry offence TO teach Slare TO read and
yet it claims membership the great Democrat

another his alb alb, then are the editors of the
Memphis appeal glorious Democrats.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND TREASON
TRIALS

Where did the idea of making resistance to
any particular law treason, originate The
first formal exhibition of it we noticed was in
an elaborate editorial of the ENaSbington Re-
public the special organ Of The Administration,
written Immediately after thescceussence of the
Chrstiana riot The article discussed the sub
ject of Treason, assumed that the act of resist
ing United States law was treason, and that
all who aided, countenanced, or recognised it,
committed treason. The following extract is q
fair specimen of its vindictive tone:
Gone would suppose, from the advice of forci-
BILE resistance so familiarity given by the Adolf
tionists, that they are quite unawares that there
is any such crime as treason recognised by the
Constitution, or punished ruth death bg the lars
! Of the United States. We would remind them
that not only is there such crime, but there is
solemn decision of the Supreme Court that
all who are concerned an a conspiracy which ~
pens INTO treason, whether present or absent
from the scene Of actual riolence, are inrolUed an
The same liabilities as the immediate actors. If
they engage an the conspiracy and stimulate the
treason they mag keep their bodies from the af-
fray without Sacing their neeks from halter
III icouH be Uery much to the advantage Of
society IF an example could be made of some of
these pes'ient agitdtorS, rho ercite the ignorant
and reckless 10 reasonable violenoe, from which
they themselves shrink, bat who are, not only IN
morals bit IN lar, equally guilty and equally
amenable 10 punishment pith the pictims Of their
infammdtory cou'lsels"
Forthwith followed arrests and prosecutions
for treason, instituted by the District Attorney
of the United States and charge from Judge
Kane, in which we find every one of the senti-
ments of this extract repeated and affirmed in
very similar language Was that article in the
Republic Written uithout a,sthoritys Did it not
reveal the purpose Of the Administration to try
the plan of putting down agitation by prose-
cutions for treason? 1T would be very much
to the advantage Of society If an example could
be made Of some Of those pestilent agtators!p
That is, hanging a few anti-slavery men would
exert very wholesome influence in putting
down the discussion Of the subject of Slavery.
We have a right to infer that this daring
article would not have appeared, had it not been
the intention of the Administration to insist ON
prosecutions for Treason and this inference is
confirmed by the fact that the Republic has
never denied the imputation of such a purpose
to the Administration, while it has denied that
it had anything to do in the attempt to make
Treason out of the Syracuse affair

Close beside the meeting waters

Watching how the little river
Fell into the broader stream.
Calm and still the mingled current
Glided to the waiting sea;
On its breast serenely pictured
Floating cloud and skirting tree.
And thought, "0h, human spirit
Strong and deep and pure and blest,
Let the stream Of my existence
Blend with thine, and find its rest

Elwood Fisher, of the Southern Press the organ

ierred claim to the printing, on the ground
that his paper has the largest circulation of any

that his daily and weekly circulation is about
