The Late Elections.

The political campaign of 1856 openet
with the memorable contest in the old Gran
te State, the resolute, and, heretofore, irwin
chile supporter of Locofocoism, and the home
of Franklin Pierce. Every element appeared
to be in favor Of its remaining an sdninis,ra.
tion State. All the influence OF the General
Government was brought to bear upon her
people to keep them in line. But, the fraddu.
lent and outrageous act OF repeating the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and the identity of the Ad.
ministraton with this act, parslyzed all the
efforts Of its friends. New Hampshire
swung from its Old moorngs, and took posi-.
ton in the ranks of States which have no;
forgotten that there is a north. The defea:
Of the Nebraska, pro-sasery Democracy was
total and terrible. Everything was lest TO
them. Governor, both branches OF the Le-
gislature, all the members Of Congress, and
two United States Senators, were thus secu-
red to the opposition.
Since this blow, upon the already reeling
ard Incompetent administration, elections
have taken place in Connecticut and Rhode
Island. Both of these States cut loose from
the administration year ago, and elected op.
position Legislatures. There was Il faint
hope that the tide, having left the Slave Dc.
mocracy without single free State, would
now retl rn, aud they would again be greeted
with their old familiar shout of victory. But
this privilege is not yet vouohsafed them
The fruits Of the vile barter between the pro-
slavery interests Of the South and the traffi-
cling, unprincpled men of the North, who
sold themselves for a price, are yet too pal pa
bic Ia be overlooked or forgotten.
Connecticut sends an undivided anti-Ne-
braska, anti Administration delegation to
Congress The Nebraska candidate for Cow
ernor is in minority Of near Ten thousand, -
OF the twenty-one Senators, eighteen or
twenty are opposition. Of the House of
Representatives, at least twothirds are OF the
same character Connecticut stands fast by
her integrity, and again refuses TO bow TO the
pro-Slavery dogmas of Douglas s. Co.
Rhode Island has also spoken, and in no
uncertain tone. Like Connecticut, it took
ground against the Nebraska svindle in the
spring of 1854, and like Connecticut, it has
1855. There is scarcely semblance Of pro-
Slavery Democracy left. But two small
towns IN the State have given major,ies in
favor OF the administration. The Governor,
both branches OF the Legislature, and both
the mGmbers Of Congress are the fruits Of the
triumph OF 1855. 1t could no,
have been more comp 'ete.
Thus opens the grand political drama Of
the current year. The sober second-thought
of the people everywhere confirms tie ac's
and the votes Of LIS; year in opposition to the
party. Virginia will be the
ne2t State to record her verdict. We look
for total rout Of the Locoioco party there,
which will only find its equal in New-Hamp-
shire. Let the people ponder upon these
things %. S. Journal.

Gutenberg

No fact in history is more interesting than
that tho invention Of the printing press BY
Gutenberg is to be ascribed indirectly TO the
influence OF religion, as is thus set forth;
"Gutenberg travelled alone. on foot, carry:
ing knaps;ck containing books and clothes
like mere student visiting the schools, or a
iourIcymsn looking for a master. He thus
went through the Rhenish provinces, Italy
Switzerland. Germany, and, lastly, Holland
not without an object, like a man who lets
his imaginati n wander at the caprice of his
footsteps, but carrying every where with hin
a fixed idea, an unchanging will, red by pre-
sentiment. This guiding star was the tho'l
of spreading the word Of God and the Bible
among avlst number Of souls.
"Thus it was religion which in ttis young
wandering apostle, was seeking the soil
wherein to SON u single seed, OF which the
fruit hereafter was to be thousand various
grain. 1t is the glory of printing that it was
given to the world BY religion, not by indus
try. Religious enthusiasm was alone worthy
to give birth to the instrument of truth.
