"a UNITED NORTH"

The reaction in Pennsylvania has been overwhelming
and crushing. The immense fusion majority of last year
has not only been swept away but upon its ruins the
democrats have rolled up majority which the Tribune
comedies will range somewhere between twenty-five and
thirty thousand The know-nothng fusion legislature
had been turned out and legislature elected that will
send democrat to the United States Senate TO take the
place Of whig, Mr. Cooper. triumph sweeping
and decisive is recorded in the history of the bril-
liant successes of Jefferson and Jackson
The fusioniss have been tnking about United North

favor of democratic principles and in support of demo-
cratic national ticket The THIRTEEN States south of Ma

cepon have already crushed ont every species OF
democratic combination the fourteen States of the Norh

only opportunity to array themselves with Pennsyva
mia in the democratic line and thus decide in advance and
beyond question, the result Of the coming presidential
election.

GEN. CAsS AND THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE
The position of General Cass in regard to the Missouri
restriction is well known to be the subject of
full Misrepresentation by the New York Evening Post The
Missouri restriction rests the assumption of un
constitutional power by Congress that the Wmot poyso
does They identical in principle and the same in
practical effect except that the latter is of universal app
cation all territory and the former restricted TO the
territory north Of SO deg 80 min When General Cass
therefore, demonstrated the unconstitutonay of the Will
mot proviso he did in his Nicholson letter. and after
wards eaborately in his great constitutional argu-
in the Senate he demonstrated at the time the
unconsttuonaliiy Of the Missouri restriction What we
said then, this subject few days ago. was literally
ruethat General Cass at time during the pend
ency of the Nebraska bill opposed TO the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, line He could not be thus opposed without being
inconsistent with himself
1t is that General Cass agreed with Senator Doug
las When the Nebraska bill first introduced that it
necessary to insert clause Of express repeal Of
the Missouri resicon-not because either be blr.
Douglas opposed TO the repeal but because they
sdered the principle Of congressional nonnervention
laid down in the compromise of 1850 and copied
into the Nebraska bill inconsistent WITH and therefore
destructive Of the Missouri restriction In this opinion
we fully concurred with those eminent Statesmen, and it
was only later day when real doubts to the
legal effects of the language in the original Nebraska bill
that deemed necessary by Mr. Douglas to introduce
the express repeating clause by way of amendment In
this amendment General Cass acquesced, voted for its
adoption and then voted for the BILL In his speech the
Nebraska bill he frankly expressed his regret that anything
had been said in the bill about the Missouri Compromise
and said that he would have been better satisfied if the
bill had remained originally introduced by Judge
Douglas As the subject introduced however, with
his agency he acguesced, and gave to the bill
