Pennsylyania must be Redeemed.

We trust our democratic friends will not consi-
der us as premature, in calling their attention to
the importance of effecting immediate and thor
cugh organization Of the party, in every election
district in the Commonwealth, for the purpose of
rallying our forces for the approaching campaign,
so that may be fully prepared to take the first
step at the General Election next fall, towards
redeeming the "Old Keystone" !" from the grasp
of the demagogues and bigots who now lord it over
her. If we succeed at that time in securing De-
nocratic majority in both branches of the Legis-
lsture and it will be our own fault if we do not,
the law making power will once more be vested
in honest and patriotic hands, Our Know-N Moth
ing Governor will be rendered powerlcss for evil,
and at the expiration of his term of office, the
reign of intolerance on the soil of Pennsylvania
will cease forever.
Wecan see no good reason why we should be
cast down or discouraged at the recollection of
defeat last fall 1t was by no rneans fair test of
the relative strength of Democracy, and Know
Nothingisn, for thousands of honest and patriotic
Wings who cast their votes for Mr.. Pollock, would
never have done SO, had they known that thereby
they were securing the election of a trBitor that
had basely betrayed them, and the triumph of a
band of midnight consprators; and now that they
perceive the fraud that was practiced upon them,
they are ready to assist us in ousting the traitor
and his adherents from power, and in placing the
reins Of government in safe and honest hands.
The result of the late municipal election in Phil
adelphia, the scene of the earliest triumph of
Know Nothingisn, shows that the day is break
ing, that fanaticism and wild excitement are be-
ginning to give way before calm reason, and that
the people thoroughly convinced Of the folly of
ssrII
broken down politicians, whose principal tenet is,
that freedom to worship God in the manner that
his conscience tells him is right, is not one Of the
inalienable rights Of man. eea
But we must not forget, that if we would regain
our former ascendancy in this state, we must be
up and doing, and that if we are not united, ac-
tive, and yiglant during the contest. if our can
didates are not men who are known to have never
tampered with KNOWN Nothingisn, and who scorn
ohase any thing to do with it either directly or
indirectly we will, most assuredly suffer igno-
mnous and overwhelming defeat Every Demo-
crat should remember that the time for action has
arrived that he has part to perform in the good
work of redeemng Pennsylvania from Know No
thing misrule, and that if he would perform it
well, he must at once " put his shoulder to the
whcel, pray to God for success, and push on the
column. . sses.s =. r. as- =. $3.50.

Death Of Jndge Longstreth.

It is always mournful duty to record the
death of a good man; but still the sadness is
not unalloyed with pleasure. We grieve for
departed worth, but at the same time rejoice
to know, that humanity has yindicated the OBJ
jects, of its creation, in presenting an upright
being. In the death of Morris Longstreth
society has lost one of her best citizens, his fam
lily a devoted father and his friends compan-
ion without guile. His charities were of the
noblcst character, because they were as unob-
trusive. as they were sincere and free from self
ishness. For many years he was an active
member of the Democratic party, and was hon
ored by twith the post of Canal Commissioner.

Doings of the Legislature.

In generally takes some time after an ad-
jeurnment, to know what each Legislature
has done. Thesdoings of our present Iawma-
kers, however, bid fair TO become well known
long before they take up their line of march
homeward never more to return, in the pres
ent capacity, to Harrisburg.
As a general answer to the inquiry, q What
has the Legislature done? we state, for the
information of the public, that it first spent
week after week. at an expense of perhaps
over $40 900, in a vain and fruitless attempt
to elect Z. S. Senator; that it has passed
an innumerable quantity of Bank bills; that
it has enacted license law, which, for stupid
uncertainty and i'll defined provisions, could
not be excelled by the muddiest and most
thick headed school boy of twelve years of age
in the State; that it has repealed the tonnage
tax on coal and lumber, passing over the
Penna. b. r. that it proposes to create the
Office of Guano Inspector, with large salary,
to tax farmers, and those who use that article
that it has undertaken to vote each member
an increase of pay; and finally, as fit closing
scene to SO disreputable drama, resolution
is actually passed. by one body, to remove the
State Capitol to Philadelphia If this is Ger
tainly not enough of dishonor for any one set
of men, we know not what's.

The readers of Mr. Lieber's able work on
Civil Liberty and Self-GOyernmt Mt, will remem-
Der very interesting paper appended to 1t, on
tbe nroportion of those who actually vote to
the whole numb,r Of qualified voters, III any
extensive election-say one covering district
where there are 5000 voters. In illustrating
his subiecs. Mr.. Leber selected instances OF
American. English, French and German cleo
tions, the statistics aud accompanying circum-
stances of which are wei ascertained The
conclusion at which he arrived WAS, that very
frequently less than fifty out of hundred cltI'
zens who have the right to vote, actually go to
10 the polls, and that this result shows fair
common interest in the election; that if sixty
voters out Of hundred actually vote, it proves
a great il terest in the elections and that seventy
aetr Al voters out of a hundred is an evidence OF
great excitement; while the number OF seventy
FIVE voters out of a hundred Is hardly ever
reached, and marks an imprisoned election.
Mr. Lieber proved from these calculations that
the pretended return, by which Napoleon Ill
was lifted 10 the Imperial throne, and according
TO which nine. five Frenehmen actually voted out
of every hundred authorized to vote, was
falsehooJ which could only be palmed upon peo-
pie utterly ignorant of election statistics.
The late election in Virginia has furnished an
additional opportunity of testing this theory.
The following statements are procured from one
of the very highest authorities for political sta
tistics in that Commonwealth. This gentleman
SAYS that at this election the people generally
were interested and excited to the highest de-
gree, as much indeed as they could be on "any
"subect short of REVOLUTIONARY opinion in
which we DO not doubt all persons acquainted
with the facts will entirely coincide. Now there
are in Virginia at this moment 2li,OO0 tithea-
bles, or persons qualified to vote, and there were
polled 1856 600 votes at this election. This gives
a fraction over seventy-three actual voters out
of hundred qualified to vote. Aud this in a
conn unity thoroughly accustomed to canyassng
and elections.
The Imperial Government Of France were
evidently ignorant of election statistics, and thus
placed On record the evidence of their own false
heed

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

Judge Kane in ordering Mr.. Williamson TO
prison for technical and constructive contempt
of COurt-an outrage which will be remarkable
in our history-tOok occasion also to alege th4t
saveowners have right to carry their slaves
into and through any Free State, and that the
slaves do not become free thereby, as is usually
held to be the case. The same ground is also
set up by the State Of Virginia in the matter of
the Lennon slaves, now before the Court of
Appeals of this State.
Now, it happens that both the allegations of
Judge Kane and the pretensions of the State of
Virg MIA are palpably and undeniably in conflict
with the eft tpeated and uniform decisions of
Southern as well as Northern Courts in years
past. Indeed, until within three or fo ar years
il has been uniformly held BY all the Courts of
this country, and conceded on all hands, that
Slavery being the creature of mun'c pal. local,
positive law, can be maintained only while the
subject of that condition is held within AMI
under the jurisdiction by which he is en,layed.
The only exception to this rule (and very un-
iust and incoDeruous one) has been that in re-
spect TO fugitives escaping from Slavery. TIE
clause of the Constitution regarded as authoriz.
ing Fugitive Slave Acts specifies persons "held
"to service and labor in one STATE under the
claws thereof, and eseaPiRg"-bu. says nothing
Of such persons when carried out or permitted
by their masters to be carried out Of the State
This distinction has always heretofore been
everywhere recognized and acted up n. There
are numerous reported cases in which Southern
as well as Northern Courts have awarded liberia
ti0n TO slaves who had been carried or permit
ted by their masters to be carried out of the
STATE. Such decisions have been made in Loli-
sians, Mississippi and Keatucky, and the re-
ported cases are in the hands of our Ia vyers.
We have slso been crediby assured that similar
decisions have been made in Georgia, though
We have them not at hand. 50 well known is
the general law of the Slave States on this point
that when certain fre-eatng journalists and
orators Of the South undertook TO nfame the
public mind against the decision Of Judge Paine
in the Lennon case, a New-0reans journal
rebuked them for their ignorance and stated the
acts as we have now stated them, relating with
some of the decisions made in that
State in cases precisely analogous to that decided
by Judge Paine.
For the convenience of legal gentlemen aud
others DESTROYS of investigating this subject, it
msy be well to note down iome of the reported

that there was no foundation for the alarm-that the

REPUBLICAN ELEMENTS IN EUROPE.

We have already in a former article exhibited
the elements Of Republican order existing ia
France and England, as well as the obstacles
thereto. We now proceed to a similar exami-
nation with respect to Germany.
No country could have more easily and immed-
ateIy transformed herself into a confederate re-
public, modelled upon the United States, than
Germany IN 1913. All the soyereigns, terrified
by the volcanic eruptOns beneath their feet
were ready to Fly before second shake, or even
at the quiet ntimation of the will of the people
of Germany. This prostration and abandon
merit of their senses was, however, of but short
duration The historical vampire of unity and
of political Capitalization sucked out all the
blood and vitality of the revolution, and the
princes rose again.
The division Of Germany into so many smaller
and greater &C veregnties, if it Las done some
mischief, principally in the external relations of
the country, has been highly in all other
respects. 1t has not, SIS is maintained, given
stronger grid to oppression. Centralized Aus
this, France, Spain, and Russia have been and are
more oppressed. 1t has been the most powerful
agent Of civilization, and formed numerous
channels for its diffusion The division facil-
tated the work and word of Luther and opened
the arteries through which Professionalism was
carried and established. Previous to that epoch
GtImsny already possessed numerous Universe
ties, which were so many centers for celebrating
and then flashing forth in all directions the rays
acknowledge and refining culture. To these grs Al,
seats of learning Germany owes that high and
versatile development of mind which raises
her above other nations. The people drew
warmth from these glowing hearths These
alone would have stoned for many deficiencies
which would appear to a superficial observer
10 have resulted from the subdivision Of the
country.
Nearly every German Prince of any position
long since erected a University in his dominiops:
some even established aud maintained two. In
the very small States where it was impossible
10 achieve the larger result, excellent higher
schools OF GJmnasa were and are provided for.

The Governor has cOmmuted the sentence Of
Henrie tia Robinson from hanging to imprisOn-

We learn that Jut &c Harris, before whom she
was tried as we understand, advised commu-
tation of her punishment. The Sheriff and
Ply stefan of the Jail who have hal her Inder
their charge, seeirg and cOnversing with her
daily for two years, both declare by affidsyits
that they believe her to be insane. Her counsel
and other respectable citizens of Troy who have

to the same fact.
