Since the passage Of that "bill Of sbomina-
Eons"--the Nebraska bill, elections have been
held in fourteen of the free States, and 10 al
most svs'y instance, the Administration has
received most signal rsbuke. OF the one
hundred and thirty members Of Congress
elected, only twenty'one are Administration
members, six Of whom are anti-Nebraska. The
Gnti.Eebraska or opposition members number
Just one half Of the whole delegation in
Congress. The tota! number being 2S4. Who
will dare assert that there is no "North :"
Even in the Kings owe country" has free
dom spoken out in thunder-tones that astonish-
ed the "natiVes." Just look at the result of
the New Hampshire election. LocofOcoism
has receive complete rout. For thirty years
this State never faltersd. But the strong Cit>
.adsl has at last given way. "Ths last bag Of
sand broke the Canals back" Party fealty
has burst asunder and behold the result. -
Mslcah the fusion candidate for Governor, has
Amsjority Of near 200 over Baker, the Ne
braska Administration candidate. In 1859,
Pierce carried the State by 1880 majority, aud
over Scott and Hall 7,l55 nett Adminstra-
tion loss, 1870. The fusion majority on the
Congressmen is about 1900. The State Le-
gislaturs stands thus Senate Fusion, 10 !;
Loco. l no choice, l. HouSe--FuSion, eel ;
Loco. 7s. No wonder General Pierce, on re-
.ceiving the news Of the New Hampshire eleo.
tions. may have been heard TO eGcain,
"My game Is up; farewell, my fortune hollow
New Hamphirs's "busr'-let all creation follow.
In less than q month We will have the re.
suit Of Rhode Island and Connecticut. These
States will return hall dozen at least anti.Ne
brAska members. This will again put the Ad.
yministrston tin pan ct Washington in . stew.
Poor fellows Jordan am hard road to
.trabbls." It's now doubtful whether the Ad-
,ninisn alton party will have requisite number
in the next Congress to call the yeas and nays.
Now Why al this revolution &? The answer is
ct hsnd, d,--ths iniquitous enactment ofthe late
Congress, sealed by the hand Of the Chief Ex.
.ecutive. General Pierce, by his own hand,
and with bis free will and accord, and without
restraint signed the death warrant Of himself
and Of bis party. The party organs may. BY
every subtsrfugs, attempt to syads the issue.
but II is too evident that BY his own act he did
this thing. The Washington Union declares
,thatths result Of the New Hampshire election
,was brought about by the combined elements
.of faction and fanaticism, including Abolition
ism. whggery, FrseaOilism. and religious per.
seeution." Butthis is cheap way Of "get-
ting down stairE" Gen Pierce sees his games
are up.-ths Administration organs see it,
and the more tin thunder they make, to create
side issues, the better they presume, il will bS
for them.
This reminds US Of the boy who whistlsd in
going through the woods to keep his courage
up. But the PEOPLE have not, and will not
forget tho real issue. Freedom for all men is
thsir watch word. and nothing short Of . COM
