CONTESTED CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION, ELEVENTH
DfsrRIcr-Danvile, April 2l.-The matter Of the
contested election for Congress in this district,
composed of the counties of Luxerne, Columbia,
Montour, and Wyoming, came before special
court, convened here this morning, Judge Jayne,
Of Wyoming, presiding. The Hon. Henry NJ
Fuller, the member elect, and Col. H. b. Wright,
Dem. who ia contesting the seat, are both present.
and the excites very great interest. Hon. Jo-
seph Casey, of Union county, appears as counsel
for Mr.. Fuller, and the Hon. John Brisbnn, of Wy
oming, as counsel for Mr. Wright. The point in
controversy is the admission by the return judges
of the vote of Montour county. The trial will
probably occupy the whole Of the week.
The majority for Mr.. Fuller in the district was
IS, Montour county having given him LII, and
Mr.. Wright 473 Mr.. Wright alleges frauds in
the election, and that illegal votes received;
and, Immediately upon the assembling of the
judges to cast up the votes for Congress, protest.
ed on this ground against the vote of Montour being
received. Tho certificate of election, however.
given to Mr. Fuller; and the present issue is to
ascertain whether Illegal votes were polled.

We assure the Union that we do not rec0l-
lect single WING journal which omitted to
approve the doctrines of the PRESIDENTS mes
sage in regard TO the Compromise. This was
all we intended to say in the paragraph cited
by the Union. These journals may change, OF
may have changed, but they all stand on the
record endorsing, in the most full and satisfac-
tory manner, the recommendations Of the PREsI-
DENT with respect to an acquiescence in the
Adjustment.
We failed to express what we intended to
say wiki precision; and our language is justly
liable to the Interpretation placed upon it by
the Uaioa. 1t is obvious, however, since our
own columns have borne frequent testimony to
the fact that many Wing journals in the north
ern States have denounced and still denounce
the Fugitive Slave law, that there could have
been no motive on. our part to convey an erro-
neous impression to our readers
We apprehend, however, that the northern
opposition to this law is not confined to the
Wines. The Barn-burners in New York !;
the Evening Post, that ancient organ of the
Democratic party; Mr.. JOHN VAN buren, and
Tammany Hall, are as deeply involved in this
opposition as any portion of the Wines. The
Democrats in the Legislature of Massachusetts,
and the late Democratic Senator from that
State, Mr.. RANToUL, are equally astray from
the National Democratic platform. 1t is diff
fcult task to strike the balance between the
two parties, and to say which Of them is most
liable to the charge Of sectionalism; but the
cause Of truth certainly is not to be advanced
by pretending that it can justly be confined to
either. Both parties in the northern States
have sought to avail themselves for political
ends of the votes of Free-soilers and Abolition
lists (; but the mass of the people, we have no
doubt, are disposed to acquiesce in the policy Of
the WHO administration.

Astronomical Science.

The French government are not entirely alb
sorbed in President making, social and commu-
mist discussions, and revolutionary harangues, as
we that at a meeting Of the French Assembly,
on the 25th of March, vote was passed. with only
six dssentients, aPpropriating $4,000 for mount
ing equaorially the large telescope at the astro-
nomical observatory at Paris. The appropriation
was recommended by a committee OF fifteen, Of
which the astronomers MN. Arago and Leverrer
were members. The report, which was very
able one, was drawn up by M. Arago, and in it he
notices the most remarkable instruments in Europe,
and the nations and societies which are striving
with the most commendable zeal in making astro-
nomical discoveries. In the course of the report
he pays the following compliment to this country
1.-THE United States Of America, which have
hitherto appeared TO take interest in the progress
of nautical astronomy exclusively, have started of
late upon broader path with great ardor. and If
they will occupy place in the first rank Already
they possess three magnificent observatories- one
at Cincinnati, the second at Washington. and the
third Mt Cambridge"
constructed, he says: sI except the observatory
of Pulkowa, and that of Cambridge, in America,
there nowhere found object glasscs of than
% ccntimetres az. 595656 inches English) in diam
cter. Tho Bureau of Longitude has taken advan-
tagc Of favorable opportunity, and purchased with
its ordinary funds object glass Of 80 ccntimetres
in diameter, for the very moderate sum of %, 900
francs, ($4,sl2 5O) This objcct-glass. the good
quality of which has been asccrtaincd, 10 the pro-
duction of M. Lerebours, and is flint gass and
crown glass manufactured in tine French factories.
We have every to believe that IL will bear
magnifying power of from two to brec thousand
times; that is to say, three hundred times superior
to that Of the instrument used by Calico for the
celebrated" ti
However great the despatch which may be used.
M Arago declares that the mounting of this instru
ment cannot be completed till some time next year.

carry him home to service again, which has
always been the case here without any sane
ton from the magistrate. II is suggested in
the mittimus that they were delivered to the
care of Mr.. WInrHRor for the benefit Of their
masters; and ,chy they ssere not carried off
,cithout the trouble Of imprisoning zoe kno,c
not. Whether any person had right to the
service of those negroes, and might take them
up, was clearly question the court had no
thing to do with"
From this we learn that not only was no
trial by jury requisite to authorize the master
Of fugitive slave to reclaim him and carry
him home, but no sanction from a magistrate.
And this, we are told, had ahcays been the case
in Massachusetts! The examination before
the Commissioner, the proof Of service due,
and the certificate to authorize the removal of
the fugitive, are all legislative safeguards for
the fugitive, instead of being the monstrous
violations of all legal right, which they have
been represented.
And what said the Executive2 Did Cover
nor HANCOCK interpose any impediments? He
made respectful return TO the Governor of
case, with the explanatory letter Of the judges,
and the additional action Of the Legislature,
certified by his own signature and that Of
SAMUEL ADAMS, then president of the Senate.
All the branches of the government of Massa-
chusetts at that time acquiesced, without q
word Of dissent, in the right of South Carroll
ma to demand the delivery Of fugitives bound
to service within her territory, and in the duty
Of Massachusetts, to surrender them on this de-
mand gB
Such being the understanding by the North
and the South of their respective duties and
rights at that time, does any one imagine that
the Constitution Of the United States could
have been formed without their full recogni-
ton? And is any one weak enough to believe
that the Union of the States can be preserved
without the observance in good faith of all the
obligations that were assumed as the condition
of its establishment

Canadian Reciprocity.

"There is more involved in this question OF reci-
procity with Canada, with reference to the Ameri-
can people, than they seem to be aware of; and it
is on their account chiefly. as resident Of New
York, that have been an advocate Of the measure.
1t is Of cheap bread TO the inhabitants of the
manufacturing districts and on the seaboard ofthe
United States, where the necessaries Of life are
dearer than they even in England-the duty Of
twenty per cent. agricultural produce raising
the price TO the consumer proportionably, while it

working classes Of the northern States are here
appealed to, not 10 permit the further existence
of the present state of things, under which 'an
undue protection" is afforded to the "agricul-
tural interest in the great grain producing States
of Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois,"
and this appeal comes from precisely the same
persons who but few years since insisted on
the adoption Of policy that looked to closing
our mills and furnaces, as the one that would
give high prices to the farmers. The necessa-
res of life are as we are here assured dearer than
they are in England; and yet it was for the pur-
pose of obtaining this English market that the
coal and iron trades-the cotton and woollen man
ufactures-have been Frustrated. BY this time
we were to be exporting hundred or hundred
and fifty millions Of dollars worth of food
whereas, on the contrary, the great object
of the friends of the tariff of 1916 seems now t.
be that of securing a large import Of food, fol
the purpose Of breaking down the farmer. as
they have already broken down the producers
Of coal and iron, of cottons and woolens. 1t il
