THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIoN.

The news travels by the " slow-coach to the
Democratic editors. Very few Of them have re-
lish for the details, and much less for the results
The Harrisburg Keystone gives the following la
comic notice two days after the election:
The late election presents extraordinary results On
the State ticket JAMES POLLOCK Whig j. s. BLACK and
II. s. Mort, Democrats have been elected The political
complexion of the Legislature it is impossible to give

mocratc counties The may be said Of the Congress
sona districts Party nominations have been but little
respected by the voters"
This suggests an inquiry, in answer to complaints
Of the Democracy generally: How happens it, if
Known othingism be of Wing origin, that the De-
mocratc candidate for Canal Commissioner in Penn
sylvania received majority Of seventy thousand
votes, whilst the majority Of the Wing candidate
for Governor is only about twenty thousand?

A PARTY RALLY.

The Chicago Times, in one Of its buoyant moods,
hoping that all would be found right in the con-
tests about to come off in three great States, put
forth on the 9th instant the following strains OF
encouragement:
PENNSYLVANIA, from the Allegheny to Chesapeake bay,
sends out defanty the cry of Popular Sovereignty and
the Constitution VIII Illinois abandon her old and long
tried faithful ally ONO and INDIANA have with
usual unanimty secuted aboltionism as unworthy the
thoughts Of Democrats, and boldly meet the issueNa
less faithful to the name Of nationality
Yes, the cry of popular sovereignty has been
sent out and the answer returned, not altogether,
we fear to the liking of its orginators and foster
fathers. But who has right to complain? The
" sovereignty" have SO willcd, and from their YER
dict there is no appeal.

CoNsTITUTIoNs.-In some remarks on the next
election of President, the Connecticut Coarant ex-
presses sentiment which we believe is gaining
very general admission in the public mind 1t is
in regard to the shortness Of the Presidential term
of Office.
"One Of the great defects (says the CoaranD
in the machinery of our Government is the short
term for which the President is elected. 1t keeps
the country in fever of party excitement full three
years out Of the four to which the term is limited
So short is now the term Of service
that we hardly recover from the efforts of one cam
paign before we are called to enter another. AL
ready do we hear the notes of warning Of prepa-
ration. Eighteen hundred and ffty-sx is very near,
and demagogues begin to move for themselves"
Experience has taught no truth more clearly than
that change is not always reform" and the Wis
dom Of the changes which, under popular i'm
pulse, were at an early period Of the Government
made in the National Constitution has been SO little
confirmed by time as to have created sentiment Of
aversion towards any further experiments for its
amendment; yet the defect pointed out by the Cou-
rant has become to be SO generally acknowledged
that it quite probable the public mind is prepared
to second movement for remedying it.

LOSS on OCEAN sTEAMERs.

The Boston Journal in referring to the loss of the
steamer Arctic six steamers, running
from the United States that have been lost the present
year. They the San Francisco, from New York for
California; City Of Glasgow, from Liverpool for New
York. Humboldt and Franklin from Havre for New York
City Of Philadelphia, from Liverpool for Philadelphia;
and the Arctic, from Liverpool for New York
The present year has witnessed appalling Gala
mites upon the Atlantic than before known in
the space Of time since steam applied to ocean
navigation 1t is sad to think Of the rghtul loss of life
and the destruction Of property which have resulted from
maritime disasters within so short period.

"LET PROOF SPEAK"

The Union, incredulous about every thing just
now, denies somewhat angrily that the Democrats
Of the North are as unsound in regard to the rights
of the South on the slave question as the Wings,
and demands proof We shall soon expect to see the
official paper affirm that the " defunct Wing party
furnished the fifty thousand majority in Ohio over
the Democrats many of whom tried to prove that
the Whip candidates were favoring the extension
Of slavery by re-establishing the Missouri line.
Does the Union desire us to furnish proof from the
record? If SO, we can 60 back as far as l849 and
republish Mr.. HALLETs anti-slavery resolutions,
adopted by the Democratic Convention Of that year
A case strongly in point also is the open coalition
in Connecticut the same year, by which WALTER
BooTH, LOREN p WALDO, and CHAUNcEY F..
CLEVELAND were elected to Congress. Mr.. Cleve-
land in reply to the inquiries of the Freeso Con-
vention, yielded his ready assent to the platform of
that party, which required opposition to slavery
extension in every form opposition to any more
slave States and to the admission of slavery into
the Territories; also, the abolition of slavery and
the slave trade in the District of Columbia In
short, he approved in toto the Buffalo platform. He
carried out his views in Congress far as he could
by voting against the fugitive slave law.
The same year the Democrats of the city of
New York adopted Mr.. Van Schaick, the Freesoil
candidate as their candidate for Mayor
The election in Ohio of the Hon. SALMON p.
CHASE, Freesoil Democrat, by coalition Of Demo-
Gratis and Freesoilers to the Senate Of the United
States, might also be referred to.
The election first Of ROBERT RANToUL, Jr. and
then Of CHARLES SUMNER, both Freesoilers,. to
the Senate Of the United States, by coalition Of
Democrats and Freesoilers, open and fragrant, pre-
sents two other cases to sustain the charge.
Tho g foaf 10 notor.o,,c tho Dam ocrafs for
the last five years have fallen in with the Freesoi
ers and shared the spoils with them whenever and
wherever any thing was to be made BY fusion. It
was only last year that the Wings, BY q grand
rally, were able to defeat the coalitionists in
Massachusetts,.
These examples may suffice for to-day, as we
have no desire to revive dark memories to the
Union at this moment Of gloom, when all its phi
losophy will be required to bear the sad tidings
which the next month will bring upon every
breeze. No, we will fsrbear!

CORRESPONDENCE THE LONDON NEWS.
TIE HAGUE, SEPTEMBER 3d.
1t seems, from the debate in the First Chamber The
address to the King that something like diplomatic
has arisen between the Dutch and the
American Governments. In reply to NJ. DE KEMPASAER,
who stated that in his opinion that part Of the address
congratulatng his Majesty the Of the friend
ship and regard Of oil other Powers inconsistent with
the fact
The MINISTER INTERIOR observed that he had
every to believe that the misunderstanding alluded
to would not lead rupture between the two Govern
ments as both were most anxious to preserve the friend
y feeling which had long existed between them He
then entered into explanatory statement Of the dis
pute, of which the following is summary:
Mr.. GIBSON, an American, whilst residing in some
part Of the Dutch Eas India possessions had cndeavored
to prevail upon the Sultan Of Dambi flor what Interior
purpose not stately to defy and set at naught Dutch
authority in Dutch East India territory Gibsons pro-
oesdngs however, became known to the authorities, and
he forthwith taken prisoner He was allowed, how
ever to be out either bail parole, during the trial.
which, Chancery style, lasted fifteen months
The Judges had doubt of Gbsons guilt which it seems
was clearly, Chow not stated, though not legally
proved convenient technicalty making flaw in the
Indictment, and the American was acquitted. Suisse
quently, however the matter brought before the
Council Of Justice for revision, process which those
who accustomed to consider trial final either Il
acqut or condemn cannot easily understand The 70
suit Of this revision that Gibson sentenced
to twelve years imprisonment; but when epoce came
his house to convey to him the unpleasant intelligence
and toake him prison their bird had flown. On HE
return America Gibson made his statement to his
Government, whose Minister at the Hague has been in
structd to demand from the Dutch Government in
demny for Gibson. This has been refused Nor is it
probable that this Government will admit the slightest
compromise in the matter for said the Minister, eve
have ven to the American Government all the particu-
lars ating to this matter, and have insisted on this
maxim in the law Of nations that when foreigner on
our territory violates laws his crime may justify his
