The Elections

Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania held
their State elections on the 10th inst.
and from present indications the fusion
lists have succeeded in them all. To this
decision Of the popular voice. we most
cheerfully submit. tits delightful IL
lustration Of the popular sovereint! doc.
trine. and to murmer a syllable Of objec-
ton TO its full and free predominence.
would be to the reverse of what we have
contended for during the canvass. Al
though the decision was against q cher
isaed principle of many. we delight to
see a general and willing submission to
the majority.
IL principle. however. there is palpa-
bic error just here in this connection.
provided the declaration of independence
is not a self-evident lie. A voice Of the
people of the States. thus expressed. con-
trolls Congress. and the laws of the Nation
al Government are necessarily required to
be conformable to this expressed will.
But how is il with the expressed will OF
the people who happen TO inhabit ter
ritory-and although "created equal and
iree"--when their voice is as clearly and
unequivocally expressed. in relation to q
domestic institution that concerns them
more than any other portion Of the Un-
ioaf Congress must control them in
s!ead Of their having voice in the con.
troll of Congress. and the authority Of tina
body is directly delegated from the peo-
pie of the States. Thus il is perceived
tina! the people of the States dictate to
the people Of the territories what kind oil
a constitution and laws the territorial
pioneer shall have to govern and control
the des.ipies Of himself and his children.
This position is true and cannot be con-
Hoverted. though it carries the broad as.
sertion upon its face that the people oil
che Territories are incapable of self-gov
eminent.

Twelve unhung Villains.

How it was possible for Ward, the muir
derer of Butler, to get clear of his crime,
was for many days mystery, but the
Louisville Democrat lifts the veil, and ex-
poses human monstrosity, the like Of
which few communities could make up,
or tolerate after it was exposed. That
paper says:
The moment the jury was impanneled,
the honest portion of the citizens of Har-
din county said unhesitatingly, thattwelve
just such men could not any where else be
found; and that, no matter what the testi.
mony might be, conviction was not tc
be looked for!
1t was sickening to hear the comments
of the neighbors and acquaintances of the
jurors upon their history and character.
One had been indicted for burning hi,
neighbor's barn, and never acquitted
Another was well known to have commit
ted base perjury. Another had visited
the prisoners in Jail repeatedly, and had
said again and again that the prisoners
were innocent, and yet had sworn as ju
ror that he had formed no opinion. An
other had brought a boy with him from
the country to take back his horse, telling
his family that he expected to be caugh
upon the jury to try the Ward case; and
yet when sworn as to having formed any
opinion, with the most affecting air of in
nocence, asked what case it was, and hae
to study some time before he could re
member whether he had ever heard of the
case before.
These comments and opinions were no
promulgated after the verdict, but from
the moment the jury was impanneled
was the common talk of the whole com
munity.

Irish Emigration.
cam

The emigration from Europe to the
United States; during the present year,
bids fair to exceed that of sny previous
year. The last Fireman's Journal con-
tains column of brief extracts from pa
pers in every part of Ireland, all of which
coincide in stating that immense numbers
Of the agricultural population are leaving,
or about to leave, for America. The Gal
way Packet says that the dread of impress
ment is undoubtedly driving away thou
sands who were we'll enough off at home,
and who would not dream of emigrating
only for the dread of being forced to serve
in the British Army. Before the end Of
the year, Ireland will be literally deserted
and the silence and desolation which now
brood over Conemara will be visible in the
more populous districts of the country

drain continues, as no doubtit will, We
will have none of our peasantry left bu

SINGULAR ExCITEMENT.-The liquor
qestion is no new cause of popular excite
ment, as appears from the fact that the
good people of New Haven as fl r back as
1779, were apparently as much concerned
about the price of rum as they are at the
present day in reference to its use. AT a
meeting of that town held August, 1779,
the following vote was passed
"Whereas, complaint hath been made
to this meeting, that some persons have
lately sold rum at an exorbitant price, and
others have withheld and refused to sell
Voted that this town doth disapproye OF
any person asking or receiving greater
price than thirty-two dollars, (Supposed
to be Continental money! per gallon, by
retail, for good West India Rum in pro-
portion; and also of any person withhold
ing the same; and that this town will treat
with proper contempt, all persons who
shall refuse to sell their rum, or shall sci
the same agmore than the above mentlonee
price. And that Capt. Abel Burritt, Capt
Moses Gilbert, DR., Levi Ives. and Capt
Peter Johnson be committee to commu
nieate this vote.
