Connecticut Election---Ncw England an Unit
One good result of the recent election in
Connecticut will be the sending of better
man than Toucey to the United States SEN
ate. He is doughface of such unmitigated
doughiness that his retiracy to private life
will be source of qualification to his con-
stituents, whom he has so long misrepresent-
ed. His pliancy in the hands of the slave
drivers was so complete, and his vote in aid
of their schemes always so reliable, that the
Administration made special exertions to
ward off the fate that has overtaken him.
Cobb and Orr, who did not carry New Hamp-
shire, essayed their skill upon Connecticut,
and lesser men than these seconded their
efforts with a vast expenditure of pro-slavery
rhetoric and not a little money but the
people were inexhorable, and Toucey's days
are numbered.
This election makes New England an unit
on the side of Freedom. She will soon be
represented at Washington by twelve Anti
Slavery Senators, whose votes, backed up by
overwhelming majorities of their constitu-
ents, will tell strongly and steadily on the
side of Justice and Humanity.
All hail, New England! She has now in
the lower House but one man who claims to
act with the Black Democracy, while all the
others-twenty-e eight in number-are for the
principles of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, as their fathers were before them.
All hail, New England Chicago Tribune

Political MANGUvERING AT WASHING
ToN.-All reports from Washington 60 to
show that President Pierce regards Mr. Blu
chanan as dangerous rival for the Presi-
dency, and that he is now anxious to choke
him off the Presidential course. Pierce con-
siders his chance the best, though it is gen
orally believed that the delegates are cheat
ing him. They promise to vote for him, but
they mean to do it in such way as to lay
him out cold. One writer says:
"Gen. Pierce has been favored with letters
from sufficient number of delegates to as
sure him of majority of the convention
from the outset. lie takes these promises
in good faith, when many of them are sheer
moonshine; Franklin Pierce may get the
complimentary testimony upon the first vote
of a plurality; but then, as with Van Buren,
in 1874, they will drop him. The bona fide
Pierce delegates have an inkling of this, and
their plans are arranged accordingly; first to
defeat Buchanan, and secondly, to create
such an ENHANCEMENT in the Convention as
will compel it, as last resort, to fall back
upon the Administration and trust to luck"

DEATH OF A SoN OF MOLLY PITCHER
The Carlisle Democrat notices the death in
that place, on Thursday week, of Sergeant
John l.. Hays, an old resident of Carlisle
and soldier of the war of 1912. Sergeant
Hays was born on the day of the battle OF
Lexington, and was consequently IS years
old. He was the son of the celebrated
Molly Pitcher, who distinguished herself at
the battle of Monmouth, and whom Headly,
in his "Life of Washington" gives the fol-
lowing account:
cit was during this part of the battle,
when Lee was struggling nobly against the
overwhelming numbers that pressed on him,
that an Irishman, who was serving at his
gun, was shot down. His wife, Molly, but
% years old, employed herself, while he
loaded and fired his gun, in bringing water
| from spring near by. While returning
with supply she saw him fall, and heard
the commanding officer order tie gun to be
taken to the rear; size Immediately ran for
ward, seized the raumor, declaring she would
avenge his death. She fought her piece like
hero to the last. The next morning, Gen.
Greene, who had been struck with her BRAY
cry, presented her to Gen. Washington,
who immediately promoted her to sergeant
and afterwards put her name upon the half
pay list for life. Previous to this, she fired
the last gun when the Americans were
driven from Fort Montgomery"
AT the close of the Revolution, Molly took
up her residence in Carlisle, where she was
known as Molly McCauley. She lived to an
advanced age, much respected by all, and
was buried with military honors.

st. Louis Elec tion, Again.

The blow given by the Anti-Nebraska
men of st. Louis to their opponents at the
recent election is considered by those who
are well posted upon the subject as rather a
stunning one. The Galena Advertiser un-
derstands the matter as we do, and remarks
that " the Anti-Nebraska party have swept
st. Louis by $500 majority. The Nebraska
men and Know Nothings united on Mr..
Brotherton for Mayor, as they did in Con-
gress on Mr.. Aiken for Speaker. Their OPP
ponents united on Mr.. How, thorough
Bentonian. The result is significant. It
will encourage the friends of freedom and
Free Kansas to push on the grand column to
a general and overwhelming victory, next
November. The following telegraphic dis
patch tells the story with sufficient definite
ness for all the practical purposes of the
case:
ST. LOUIS, April 8.
Incomplete returns of the City election
yesterday, show that John How has been
chosen Mayor over Marshall Brotherton, by
upwards of twenty-five hundred majority.
The whole Benton ticket elected, their OPP
ponents having carried but two of the ten
wards. Charles B. Lord was chosen Judge
of the Land Court by large majority.
We do not claim this as Republican vic
tory, but merely as having squint that way.
Mr.. How was supported by the Democrat,
whose position on the Border Ruffian ques-
ton is well known"
The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1856-04-26

of this, it is understood, is that negotiations
are now going on with certain Catholic cler-
gymen to purchase it for nunnery."
Putting the two things together, says the
Chicago Tribune, we jump at the conclusion
that somebody is contriving an ingenious
dodge whereby Congress will be frightened
into the purchase of the estate at any figure
the proprietor sees fit to name.

Great Newsp paper success.

A we'll informed correspondent OF the st.
Louis Democrat gives the following iacts IN
relation to the history and extraordinary sue
cess of the New York Tribune:
The New York Tribune was established IN
l04I nv Mr.. Horace Greeley, who conduct
ed Il exclusively for nearly six months when
he was Joined in the enterprise by Mr.. Ihos.
McElrath. capitalist, to whose business ex-
nerience. energy and financial ability, the
early pecuniary success of the journal is
chiefly to be attributed. With literary tall
emit enough to conduct successfully first
class metropolitan journal, Mr.. Greeley, from
his unbusiness-like habits and inexperience,
would have failed to make the Tribune a
profitable speculation. Mr.. McElrath sup
piled the experience and business talent re
ouired in the establishment. 1t was pub
lished at first as penny paper, but dou-
bled its price at the commencement OF its
second volume. 1t was at that time only
third of its present size. Henry j. Ray
mond, now editor-n-chief of the Daily Times
and Lieutenant Governor of New York, was
Greeley's assistant in the editorship Of the
Tribune, during the first and second year OF
his existence.
In 1S49, the Tribune establishment was
re-organiZed as joint stock company. Els
timating the value of the establishment at
100000, it was divided into one hundred
shares, of which the original proprietors sold
from one to ten shares to each of the heads
of the different departments. All the assist
ant editors, the treasurer the pressman, che
clerks, and foreman of the printers, were
thus invested with direct pecunary inter

A friend of mine, or arithmetical genius
estimated that years issue of the Tribune
would cover 4, APO acres Of land, or So acres
per week.
The Tribune pays over 81 900 per week
for the paper on which it is printed. 1t pays
compositors S77S weekly. The salary of the
wrapper-writers alone amounts to 500 pei
| week.
The Weekly Tribune has the largest circu-
lation in the world. Before the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, its circulation was
never more than 10000; but since the Ne
braska bill was passed, it has increased and
is still increasing the list Of its subscribers
every week. Its advertsements-at7 IS cts
line-amount to 81 300 week; $62, 400
per annum!
The profits of the establishment last year,
after paying each editor and proprietor a
weekly salary for his services, irrespective Of
the interest on is shares, amounted to $780,
600, which was paid in three separate divi-
dends and pocketed.
