The Result.

We refer the reader 10 the Official vote, in an
other column for the result of the election IN this
county. While we regret the defeat of portion
of the county ticket, we most heartily congratu-
late our Republican friends upon the triumph of
the principles for which we have contended. The
majorities for Mr.. WAsHBuRN and Mr.. Conn
truly gratifying, to all WI hold sacred the prin
ciples of human liberty as an evidence, not only
OF personal popularity of those gentlemen but
that the principles for which they commended are

Never was an election held in this State where
greater effort was made to defeat any candidates,
than was made by the opponents of those gentle.

The contest for members of the Assembly and

Fraudulent tickets and bargaining was resorted
to, which had its effect, though the greater ma

at Washington Wings, Democrats and Free
Sellers, have united in the determination to elect
no mar 70 Congress, or the State Legislature, who
is not an open opponent OF the Douglas swindle,
and most nobly have they triumphed in this coun-

anoe in such cause to the free Republic Of
the North. The South, in state of nominal
independence, would have no navy, and nc
means of forming one, unless at great expense
and in defiance Of circumstances; while to the
North a navy would be matter Of courses
natural right arm of defence and offence. II
would therefore be impossible for the Southern
Republic to carry on pirstical trade in slaves
in defiance of the navies of Christendom.
But it is not we who have suggested disunion
in order to Brighten the South with its conse.
quences. It is Southern men themselves who
have attempted to alright the North with the
bugbear, and we have only shown the absurd
ty of the trick. Wo have no apprehension Of
disunion from the Slavery controversy, or from
any other. Dissimilar as the States are in their
local affairs and social institutions, they are
indissolubly united to each other There is q
utility and a vital force in the system of Fed
eral Republicanism, as it is organized in this
country, which will survive an evil like Slavery,
which, though it has intertwined itself with all
the fibres of Southern society, is yet inconsist-
ent with the radical principles on which all
the American Constitutions are founded. G..

THE GREAT ANTI-EEBRAsKA MEETING AT
WOLFROROUGH.

This great mass meeting of the People Of
New Hampshire commenced on the both OF
August, and continued two days. Visiters
from the neighboring States were present
Some three thousand persons were in attend
ance. Among the distinguished speakers were
MIR. Hale, Mr.. Chase of the Senate, Mr. Good
rich of the House of Representatives from
Massachusetts,, Mr.. Tuck, formerly Of the
House, Hon. William Plummer, sc. Wings,
Democrats, and Independent Democrats, united
in stern expressions of indignation against the
Nebraska outrage. A series of resolutions was
proposed by Mr.. FOgg, of the Independent
Democrat, Concord, and adopted unanimously
The closing one is as followe:
"ReSolved, That we approve of the objects
of the Union Emigration Society formed by
anti-Nebraska members of Congress and 9th
ers, in Washington, as indicated, in the aid it
proposes to furnish to emigrants who are OPP
posed to the establishment or liberation of Ella

and in its plan of organized resistance to any
and all further aggressions Of the Slave Power
and we recommend q thorough and efficient
organization of ell the friends CT Freedom, upon
the plan proposed, of auxiliares in all our cities
and towns, believing that thereby the great
object of this meeting, viz: Union of Freemen

The RESULT IN VERMONT.

The triumph of the Wings in this State
seems to have been complete and overwhelm-
ing. One of its best results will probably be
the restoration to the Senate of the United
States Of that sterling Wing and sound
statesman, the Hon. Samuel S. Phelps. The
return to the lower House of Messrs. Meacham
and Sabine, and of Mr.. Morrill,, I'm place Of
MIR. Tracy who declined is also q good re-
sult.-Nat. Intel.
The political results alluded to could never
have been effected by the Wings alone. AS we
have explained in another place, their candi-
dates for State cffices were adopted by MACS
State, Convention Of the People, and elected on
the single Anti Slavery issue.
It will turn out, we presume, that in the
Legislature, neither tho Wings, Administra-
ton men, nor Independent Democrats, will
have the majority; and no Senator can be
elected but by the cooperation of two of these
parties. To expect that such cooperation
can be effected in favor of Mr.. Phelps, mere
Hunker Wing, indicates lamentable want of
information on the part of the IntelLigencer,
as to the state of affairs in Vermont. Since
the Independent Democrats have shown their
disinterested devotion to the cause of Freedom,
by uniting generally upon the Wing candi-
dates for State Offices and for Congress, their
Just claims henceforth will doubtless be reoog.

TIE GREYTOWN AFFAIR.

Some trouble with Great Britain is likely to
spring out Of the Greytown affair. The Lon
don papers discuss it with some warmth, the
Times taking the ground that the British Gov
eminent can do no lees than demand compen-
sation for tho destruction Of property owned
by British subjects, and on the censure of
Captain Hollins The Globe, reluctant to make
the affair subject Of grave controversy be-
tween the two Governments, would have the
demand confined TO compensation. As for
censuro of Captain Rollins, that is out Of the
question, as his conduct has been officially and
warmly sanctioned by the Administration
but We know not on what ground we can deny
q claim for compensation. The sooner General
Pierce and his advisers extricate themselves
from the contemplate position in which they
have placed themselves the better.

JOSEPH r. CHANDLER, for several years q
Representative in Congress from Philadelphia,
has been set aside by his party, and new
candidate nominated in his place. OF the
reasons we know nothing, further than that
the newspapers say that he is Catholic, and
this fact has made him obnoxious to the Know
Nothings. For the sake of religious freedom,
we hope this is not true. To ostracize man,
politically, merely on the ground of his reli-
gious creed, is Anti-Republican, Anti-Ameri-
can. Were Mr.. Chandler an advocate of the
supremacy of the Pope in secular affairs of
the right of the Church of Rome to NEEDLE
with our politics. of the policy of foreign or
religious combinations to control the ballot
box, he would richly deserve political degrade
ton. But he is guiltless in all these respects.
We do not believe he entertains o single polit-
icsl sentiment adverse to the fundamental
principles of civil liberty recognised by the
Constitution of his State, and lying at the
foundation of true republican institutions.

they will look with less dread and appreb.,

the Constitution, the principles Of their CIV,
Washington and jefferson.
Tho South has no cause to apprehend q, y
vasion of State rights from the ascendency Of
an Anti Slavery Administration. II such a..
prehensions exist in that quarter, they a..
founded upon the gross misrepresentation Of
their own demsgogues, to which we have re.
ferred. The next Presidential election viii

of it's predecessors, and the Anti Slavery Pres.
dent will DO installed in Office as quietly |,
will be his duty to administer the laws Of IL,
Federal Government, just as his honest N
deccssors have done; and it would be dificu,
to imagine a case Of collision with the S.a..
authorities, under such auspices, which nay nc;
arise now. We believe that an Anti-Skycry
Administration would work mos. harmonious
ly--even in the South-sinco it would be ac.c.
ated by higher principles, and would have lea:
temptation to be proscriptive, than either Of
the miserable demagoguical Wing or Loco6oco
concerns, of which the country has had sad
experience for twenty-five years past. The
plain dictate of honest policy is to prescribe
no subordinate officer for an honest opiricn-
and the best evidence Of it's honesty is, that 1,
is chung TO in adversely. This is true pOlcy.
because it is but common honesty, at all tines
and in all places; but it will become pre-emi
nently so for the South, when an Anti-SlayerJ
Administration shall be installed in 1857.
Every honest man in Federal Office south Of
Mason and Dixon's line should be permitted
to retain it, so long as he maintains respect,
full demeanor in his official Correspondence
with the Government. At the same time pat
ronago should be given, as the opportunity
may offer, by death or resignation, to those
whoac sentiments are most liberal and most
nearly in conformity with the spirit of the age.
There can be no doubt that such Go7err.
ment would work as smoothly at the South Is
any which the country he's had since the Goa.
stitution was adopted. G.

short of supporting it but for the printing it
has from time to time been doing for the Gov
eminent. The patronage of the Union among
the People is insignificant. It has always lived
by the Government The proprietors of the
Sentinel are the printers for the Senate. The
Executive advertisements and notices are
given to the Inteligeneer and Star The Globe
has an ample patronage from Congress, of
which it is the official record SO, all the
Daiiies here have been provided for-all ex-
cept the National Era Daily, which asked
nothing and got nothing from Congress or any
Department of the Government; which could
not expect patronage in a community where
seven-eighths of the People took no interest in
its radical discussions; which could expect
none from other cities whose wants are better
supplied by papers on the spot, and none from
the population out Of the cities, the large ma
jority Of which can be reached satisfactorily
only by the weekly mail That under such
circumstances, we did not lose moro, makes us
quite selfcomplacent: indeed, we feel as thank
fol as our friend, Preston King, did, who, when
he broke knee-cap two or three years ago,
in Washington, thanked God that he had not
broken both.
We cannot close Cur remarks without ex-
pressing our thanks to the two able and judi
cious friends who have superintendent the Era
in our absence. DANIEL r. GooDLoE, who hes
furnished the leading editorials, over the sig
nature Of G, is native and citizen of the
South, as is Mr.. CONNOLLY, who has attended
specially to annotations upon current events
and the news department. They belong to
that class of intelligent Anti-Slavery Southern
ers, which would soon grow in numbers ard
weight, under the benign influence of an Anti
Slavery Administration - which the country
intends to have one of these days.
RAIN-RAIN.-Just after the foregoing was
written, we wcre blessed with change of
weather. Saturday evening the wind changed,
and from Saturday night at eleven O'Clock till
the next morning there was o succession of
abundant showers, making the earth rejoice,
and filling every heart with glsdness. IL would
seem that the rains have been very general.

Judge POllOek's repl4.

MILToN, august 10, 1854.
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the 5th inst
asking an expression of my sentiments on GER
tain points" therein set forth. Cordially ap
proving the sentiments of the address of the
State Central Committee to which you have
referred, | cannot hesitate to reply to vour
queries; and in reply to your first question, say.
that "my views concerning the provisions Of
the Nebraska Kansas bill which repealed the
Missouri Compromise, and of the duties i'm
posed by that measure upon the friends Of free
DOM" have been often and publicly expressed.
That bill, in its origin, design, progress and
final contamination, is without msrit to recon-
mend or principle to sustain it. Unasked i'll
timed, and reckless palpable violation of a
solemn compact OF plghted faith and national
honor-sn undisguised attempt to introduce
Slavery into Territory now free it deserves and
should receive the unqualified condemnation of
free people. The duties imposed by this
measure upon the friends Of freedom sTe,,-s G
resolute determination to effect the absolute
and entire repeal of the aggressive portions of
that bill tho re-enac:ment of that portion of
the Missouri Compromise which prohibits Sla-
very in those TerritOries-their restoration and
preservation to freedom-and active opposi-
ton, now and hereafter, by every legal and
constitutional means to the sggressions of Sla-
very, and its extension in the territorial do
main of the nation.
Secondly. hold that the policy embodied in
the sixth article of compact in the celebrated
Ordinance of 1887 is a wise and bsnefcent pol
10y, and ought to be applied to all territory
now belonging to the United States r'that NAV
be acquired by them. The great and benef-
DIAL results of that policy demonstrate its wis
dom and the wisdom of the statesmen by whom
it was introduced and sustained; a departure
from it ought never to have been permitted.
and is the great error Of modern legisl aton.
IHirdly. hold that the constitutional rights
OF habeas corpus and trial by jury should be
preserved inuolate, and secured to every person
arrested on or by virtue of the process of the
Federal Judiciary.
The declaration of these constitutional rights
is but the recognition of some of the general,
great and essential principles of liberty and
free Government.
Yours, respectfully JAMES Pollock.

Of Free Democratic State Convention.

Pollock stands on ground on which he can be

People hold on little. Some Of these greedy
spectators may get bitten. Winter is a good
way of, and heavy stocks of coal without sale
may prove rather burdensome 10 those holding
them.
The country just now is full Of panic-mon-
gers. If We give credit to them, the sun is
going to burn up the crops and leave us moth
ing to eat and then the mines cannot give
out coal enough to warm us in the winter.
This summer we shall burn to death, next
winter freeze to death, to say nothing of starv-
ing to death next year. OF one thing we may
rest assured; whatever crop may fail, it will
not be that of humbugs.

sTAELEY's WESTERN WILDs.

We last week announced the forthcoming
exhibition in this city Of SANKEY'S great work,
the panoramic representation Of the Western
Wilds of North America. We have now the
pleasure to record the triumphant verdict of
the psople Of this intelligent community in its
favor. The red man, and his wide, wild, and
beautiful home-forest, prairie, mountain, val
Icy, lake, and river-are faithfully and beauti-
fully portrayed. No work of art has ever re-
ceived moro general commentator.
Our friend, Dir. T. c. Connolly, has been
employed, at least while the panorama remains
in Washington, to explain the various scenes
as they are unfolded to the view-an Office in
which he has acquitted himself with great skill
and propriety. G..
