What is Proved by the late Elections.

1t is clearly demonstrated by the results
in New York and Massachusetts,, that the
Administration has no party in either of
these States. Whatever else may come
from the elections, that fact stands clearly
revealed 1t is too early to make figures
and show the exact position of parties
But it is evident that Pierce, Douglas d Co,
have no party in New York that can be
claimed as an Administration party. The
Van Buren, Softs were contemp mptuously re-
pudiated and fiOuted in the person of their
leader. The Hards, while they sustain the
views of the South on the question of Slave
~ and the power of Congress over it, (hav-
ing changed on the latter branch of that
subject in conformity to their notions of ad-
tionaIity in politics wholly refuse to yield
support to the Administration. And while
the Republicans and X. Ms, decline to CO.
alesce in their State organization, they both
equally stand aloof from the rotten dynasty
at Washington.
In Massachusetts,, Beach, the Administra-
ton candidate for Governor, can hardly be
said to have been recognized outside of the
government office-holders and their imme-
diate friends and dependents. The major
ity against him in Boston, where Pierce re-
ceived majority in so, is near 5000;
while Gardner, the American candidate, an
ti-Administration and anti-Nebraska in all
his relations, sweeps the State over all COM
petition. Of the four candidates in the
field, the Administration candidate sproba-
bly, the lowest on the list One thing how
ever stands revealed, that while other inter-
ests, upon which the business of the country
leans for support have withdrawn their sym
pathies both in New York and Massachu-
sets, the liquor interest and the office-hol-
ders have remained faithful 90 S. Jour-

When Congress shall meet, the question
of Slavery extension, broughtupon the coun-
try by the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, will again be up. The condition Of
affairs in Kansas forces it on with a power
that cannot be resisted And who shall now
stay the excitement which is sure to follow
We are not clear that it is desirable, under
the circumstances, to attempt to hush the
storm. The question has been got over and
around heretofore by compromises based
upon mutual concessions honorable alike, it
was supposed, to all sections. These have
been ruthlessly set aside, and we are again
brought face to face with the naked ques-
ton of Slavery extension. The conserva-
tive men of the country have seen the dam
ger long way back, and the measures of
1850 were adopted under the honest con-
vietion that in them was "inality." We
who sustained these healing measures have
been deceived, cheated. Though all these
compromises, from 1920 down, have been
based on the principle that Congress had
the power to restrict and control Slavery in
the Territories, it is now contended that no
such power exists-that the right to enslave
is an inherent right-that Slavery carries
with it political power under the Constitu-
ton, and that therefore it stands above re-
straint by legislation.
Those who take the opposite ground are
STYLED "abolitionists"- -abOlitionists of what (?
Aye, that is question which has not been
answered. They are "sSetionalists7 too.-
Then what are the men who force this sec
tional question on the country! And sowe
might proceed through the catalogue of po-
litical crimes ending with ''disunion" that
are arrayed as the consequence of resistance
to Slavery extension. Weof the free States
have retreated before the coming question
until we can go no farther. Let it COME
To Congress, or to the House of Represen-
tatives, we look for deliverance.-O S.

PROPOSED TUNNEL UNDER THE NIAGARA
RIvER.-The Mayor of Buffalo laid before
the Council of that city, on Monday even
ing last, a report from Mr.. Wallace, in re-
lation to the projected tunnel under tho
Niagara river. Mr.. Wallace says that the
project is not only entirely feasible, but not
expensive. He estimates the cost of the
work as follows:
Tunnel under Niagara 2O4
Tunnel under part of the 545
Three miles of railway, Including right of 100000
Total cost, SSj3,74T
The Mayor urges the Council at once to
take steps to secure charter for compa-
ny to build the work.

The e.Rorder RnrTians,, Cowed.

From a gentleman who reached this city
on yesterday, direct from Kansas, we learn
that on the day of the late Free State cleo
ton, body of four hundred armed men,
from Missouri, approached the town of
Lawrence, with the avowed purpose of de-
stroying the printing offices of the Tribune
and the Herald of Freedom, and of taking
possession of the place. When they had
arrived within short distance of the town,
they were met by pro-slavery gentleman
from Lawrence, who informed the rufians
that the Free State men were prepared for
them-that they were armed with two or
three hundred Sharpe's rifles, and they
were determined to fight desperately for
their homes and their rights. This news
struck the invaders with fear, and after
holding a council of war, they turned upon
their heels and returned to the other side
of the river without doing any damage

A Monster.

When the tax bill was before the Kansas
Legislature, the notorious STRNGFELLow
declared that che did not think the prinei-
pie wrong which separated husband and
wife, parent and child. 1t Is right to sell
mother from her child, or wife from her
husband" The Pierce administration sus-
tanned this man, and the Locofoco party of
Ohio sustained the Pierce admin stratiOn.-
And yet, we are told by the leaders of that
party that its platform and action was not
sufficiently pro-slaveryl If such mon
strous and iniquitOus party were permitted
to have its own way, where would liberty
be! Should not all good men rejoice that
it was defeated?
