THE RESULT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
ELECTION.

We congratulate the democracy of the Union
on the brilliant victory achieved in the Key
stone State. The Pe,tnsylranian thus speaks
Of it
The smoke of Tuesdays contest having only
partially cleared away, not enabled 10 take
survey of the whole field of battle. From the
glimpse of tive have, however we feel warranted
in saying that the democracy of the whole country
have abundant reason to be satisfied with the re-
suit Here, the whig party supported by its
Swiss and Hessian allies, fondly hoped 10 bring
about an issue unfavorable to our national and
State administrations, and here the corrupt Goa
tion has fought its last battle. Ithas failed in its
aims, and good men everywhere will rejoice with
us over its failure.
s'The present victory in Pennsylvania is, to all
appearance, one of the most brilliant and decisive
ever achieved by the democratic party The re-
turns we have are il is true, by means full and
complete but with old Berks speaking al the top
of her voice, with Bucks doubling her usual ma
Jorty with Washington wheeling into line in glo-
rious style, and Northampton, Montgomery, York,
Mfin, Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne, Car
bon, Lehigh, Cambria, Schuylk, and old mother
Cumberland rolling up their heaviest malorities
can entertain a doubt of the Overwhelming
character of the defeat opponents have sus-
tanned And when. in connection with the most
glorious results in all the democratic counties, we
see tie wing counties falling below their usual
mark, and in some instances coming over to the
democratic side, we may Justly conclude that
great as was the victory of 1852, that of 1853 is
greater still. ss
Yet. how quick treads sorrow on the heels OF
JOY we have our losses to deplore In the city
and county of Philadelphia we have to greve
over the defeat of the kind hearted and clear
headed William Badger, our candidate for district
attorney. Chas. Worrel too, our worthy nominee
for treasurer, has failed of an election So, also,
we fear, has Levi Foulkrod, candidate for State
senator in the Spring Garden district--a result OF
which the democracy there may well feel ashamed
And the returns, so far as we have received them,
give us little reason to hope for the success OF
more than four or five Of our candidates on the
county Legislative ticket. These losses-and we
admit they not ight--are to some extent re-
paid by the election of Col. Murphy as marshal oil
police, and Joseph L. Smith, as county commits
sioner and by the defeat of the regular whg ticket
for assembly in the city
The natives we are happy TO say, have come
out at the little end ofthe horn They bargained
for several Of the best places in the gift OF the
people but the people declined rati the villain
ous contract. They are uow fairly at sea in an
open boat with neither sails nor oars. Their
supply of provisions, too, is rather scanty and the
prospect of a famine among the beggary crew is
very good"

the right and the power to command into
silence the free citizens of this country?
These people are engaged in the congenial
work of degrading honest and independent
men, and of elevating that miserable tribe Of
unclean boot icks, who attend the steps of
men in place and power. They erect the
officers government into deities, and bespatter
them with their idolatrous adulations and full
some batteries. The nation is sick of such
tawning slaves, and such ceaseless batteries
But, while all honest, right minded and indie
pendent men should despise the base tribe that
we speak OF, which is endeavoring to poison the
mind Of the executive against them, they
ought studiously to guard against any impru-
dence and violence. 4 Up to this time, they have
not by word or deed justified any of the abuse
that has been heaped on them. That they may
continue this course, unmoyed by the malignity
of their libellers, is our sincere desire.
Our object in referring to this matter is not
to complain of the President nt-nothing could be
further from our wish He has our full conf
dence and respect-for he has been unfaltering
in his devotion and allegiance TO the principles
and creed ofthe democratic party. But our OBJ
Ject is to show that press, at least, is candid
and manly enough to declare that no coterie in
this free country has the right or the power to
muzzle the people--to throttle them and to stife
their voice.
These people are going too far. They merit
rebuke and we will not fail in administering it.
We have greatly mistaken the character of Pres
ident Pierce, if he desires to be erected into a
god and worshipped by the democratic party.
Wehave not seen any emanationfrom him claim
ing the homage exaeted by the emperors of
China. He has not yet claimed the sun as his
brother and the moon as his sister, and if we are
notmistaken inhis character nothing would more
disgust him than for senseless flatterers to set
up that claim for him. General Pierce is a
good man. He is great man--but he is
mortal man. Others may do as they choose
but for out part, we will debase ourselves into
the worshipper of no man. We can respect,
and admire, and love--but cannot worship NOR
tai man.

GAG-LAyV.--DICT TATORS.--FLAT-
TERERS

What will be the result of the present condi-
ton of political affairs in New York? Clouds
and darkness hang around it. Men who re-
Gently acted together are now severed 1t was
union of policy, not of principle. The lion
and the lamb lay down together. The free
soiler and the national democrat embraced one
another. They gained splendid triumph.
They carried dismay and CONSERVATION into
the ranks of their old enemies-the wings. But
victory revived old differences and animosi-
ties, as will always be the result Of forced com
binations between honest men and bad men.
Chaos has come again in New York. But we
should not despair. He who carried our stand
ard in November still lives. He is the same in
his feelings, his sympathes, and convictions
that he ever was. All good democrats must
look to him as their rallying point; and it is a
beautiful illustration of the attachment of the
democracy to him, that, amid all the dscon-
tents that prevail, not one word of unkindness
has been uttered against President Pierce.
1t is in vain for any man or any press to at
tempt to convince the American people that
those who complain of bad advisers are dissat-
is6ed with him. tbs our duty, as faithful chron-
cers of the events Of the times, and as friends of
truth, to look things full in the face, and to state
honestly our impressions and opinions in respect
to them--we therefore say that whatever may
be the dissatisfaction of many of the best demo
Gratis of the country with those whom they
regard as the fawning sycophants, and i'll
advisers of the President--their enthusiastic
attachment to the President, and their conf
dence in his integrity, purity and patriotism
are unabated.
To our democratic friends of the national
stamp, particularly in New York, we beg leave
to say-let not the denunciation of those men
that pretend to be the peculiar friends of the
President, lead you into error. Their aim is
10 force you into absolute and declared hostility
TO the President. If you manifest your disap-
probation of any man or any measure that has
connexion with the President, you are at once
pronounced his bitter enemies-and, usurping
the prerogatives of the Pope, these people issue
an edict of fexcommunication against you. You
are told that the cabinet is unit, and unless
you slavishly submit to and swear by everything
that every man connected with the cabinet does,
you are no democrat, and the sworn enemy Of
the President. Say to those who arrogantly
assume to dictate all that you are to think, to
say, and to like, that you are not slores Who
gave to any press, to any man, or to any coterie,

THE UNION--THE SECRETARY OF
wAR--OURSELyES

The Union Of yesterday republishes from our
columns Of Wednesday the letters of the Sec
retary of War; prefacing them with these com
ments:
.sThe following correspondence. which we COPY
from the Sentinel Of yesterday morning. and the
publication of which appears 10 have been occa-
stoned by an editorial statement in that journal
will be read with interest. We transfer il 10 our
columns with pleasure, giving still further proof
----of what IS already too manifest for any poss-
bility Of doubtthat the President and his cabinet
advisers united man in a cordial appro-
val of the policy OF the administration and the view
ofthe united democracy on which il is founded"
The form and manner of this preface requires
us to make the following explanation, so that
there may be no mistake about our position
The editorial statement alluded to by the
Union was, as our readers are aware, couched
IN the following words:
We have heard il confidently stated that Hon
Jefferson Davis has made expressions hostile 10
Nessrs. Bronson and OConor and i'm favor OF the
treesoii faction IN New York We cannot believe
that any one OF ordinary intelligence would give
credcnce 10 such senseless report; but if there
be any such, we have the most direct and positive
authority for saying that they who have attributed
such expressions TO the Secretary of War have
williully and designcdly misreprescnted him.
| This statement was made after conversation
with Mr.. Davis himself; and the fault he finds
with it is not that it represented him as indio
nantly repudiating the rumor that he was hostile
to Messrs. Bronson and OConor: he objects TO
il because, and only because, we spoke of "the
freesoil faction in New York'-Mr. Davis ap-
pretending, without reason, we think, that the
impression mightb conveyed that he denounced
the soft she'll party as freesoi factionists.' .
That is the sum and substance of the matter.
We chose to call the bruiser party "freesoil
factionists under the conviction that the or
ganization Is under .tieesoa control, and that
ne great 6aN Of its supporters are mrepcntant
Buffalo convention mea--the honest hunkers
that have gone over being only drop in tie
tucket.

The Troubles with the Creek indians.

copied paragraph few days ago from the Fort
SmHh Herald, in which it was stated that the
grand jury at the last session of the United States
district court in Van Buren had indicted several
Creek Indians. who were engaged in the rescue
OF some prisoners from the United States marshal
and that the marshal had made demand upon
the chiefs for the persons indicted, which demand
was not acceded to the Indians refusing 10 snl-
INIT TO an arrest, and being determined TO resist.
The Herald, Of the 9th ut, says
We have learned, within few DAYS that the
commanding officer at Fort Gibson, and the super
lntcndent OF Indian affairs on this frontier have
had conference upon the subject, and concluded
that the laws of the United States shall not be ex
ecuted for the present, but shall remain SUSPENDED
until the matter can be brought before the next
Congress for consideration
The Van Bnsn HqteHigencer OF the 9th. in
reference TO this affair." assigns, the reason why
the arrest of the Indians is deferred for the pres
ent that there is not sufficient number Of troops
to aid the marshal. The InteHigencey says:
The Creeks, Of the two hostile towns who res
cused prisoner from the United States Deputy
Marshal some time since, still occupy this atti-
tude OF defiance. The grand Jury al the Nav

IN that affair yet as these towns under the organ

Col Haws United States Marshall had an in
tervIew with Rolly Mcintosh, Ben Marshall and
other principal chiefs of the nation, short time
since at Fort Gibson, in the presence of the COM
manding officer of that post These chiefs as
sured nm that II was impossible 10 arrest these
Ir, men without disturbing the peace of the nation
There not being sufficient number of troops 10

The l.. h. Collins steamer is noticed in the
Detyoa Tribune as having appeared at that wharf
from Newport, where il was built. 1t is a good

boatso the lakes, and promises from her first trial.
TO be one of the very fastest boats on the western
waters. Her cylinder is FIVE feet in diameter and
ten feet in stroke. with two boilers weighing IS
tons each; her water wheels are 35 feet in dame
ter, with nine feet face of bucket. She made 23
turns per minute, with 30 pounds OF steam and has
three water tight bulk heads, so that if by any ac-
cident one part of the boat becomes filed with
water, she will not sink. She cost S107000
No boat has been built in the State SO fault
