The recent elactiOns-

On the 4th inst, elections took place in the states
of Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas,
Texas and on the 9TH inst, in North Carolina and
Tennessee.
Iowa is the only state in the list not slave State.
From that state accounts at the present writing
indicate victory for the Republican cause more
complete and extensive than the most sangune could
have hoped At the election in 1854 the Rcpubli-
can state ticket had between 1900 and 5000 majority
and one member of Congress Republican and one
Democratic. Now, majority on the state ticket
will be anywhere from 1900 to 5000, and both mem
bers of Congress Republican.
With reference to the slave states, the contest was
simply between the Buchanan Slaycryitcs and Fill
more Slaveryites, and as might naturally be sup
posed the Buchanan Slaveryitcs had il all pretty
much their own way. In Missouri, however the
contest was triangular the Buchanan men being
divided betwcju Benton and Polk But even under
these circumstances the Fillmore men had not
strength enough to get plurality, Polk, the BucE
anan border ruflain candidate reto. plurality of
several thousand over the Fillmore eaaG.datc, and
about twice as many Benton 1t the last Con
grossional election in Missouri the delegation stood
Known othings six, border rutan democrats one
The delegation Just elected stands Know Nothings
two, border-rufian Buchanan democrats four; Free
Soil one.
With reference to the balance of the slave
states voting details are unnecessary 1t is enough
to remark that the Know Nothings ofthe south have
so generally consolidated themselves with the Buch
anan democrats, that the Know Nothings have made
little show in the local elections, and of course viii
make stll less in the Presidential.
Kentucky was the state of all others depended
upon to 60 fer Fillmore, but She Is now given up
ana the most sauguine Fillmore say is useless
for Fillmore TO hope for a southern state
The South is Il unit for Buchanan and bondage
VIII not the North be n unit for Fremont and Free

The Southern z. Ms and Buchanan.

The Democrat treats with much Indignation, our
assertion thai the X. Ms of the South were going
for Buchanan and while it ndulges in the ocose re-
mark that the ultra proslavery men of the South
are opposing Buchanan it cites the authority ofthe
National Era and the n. Y. Tribune, that Fillmore
will get two or three or more southern States.
In reply to all this we say, the leading h Ms in
the South, rapidly avowing themselves for Buch-
anan. In the next place, the man or paper that
thinks Fillmore get southern State, is not very
sensible, whether it be The Tribune or Era. And
finally that the recent southern elections show very
well where the great bulk of the Southern X. Ms
are The Milwaukee Neos in view of recent cleo
tons in the South INDUCES in the following remarks
1t settles the question as to how the South is 60
ing VI all the Southern States, Kentucky was the
most likely to 20 for Fillmore We nor present in
one S0tld phatdR;r the fifteen Southern States.
What does the Democrat think of that authority.
The question is settled las to how the South is go
ing" says the News
The truth is, and every day will confirm it, that
there viii be no serious opposition to Buchanan in
the South. As we remarked, leading X. Ms are al
ready writing to their followers to go for Buchanan,
and the results of the elections transporting, prove
that the advice is being taken.
II is exactly as VIC said. Know Nothingism is
dcfunct. The Southern X Ms pro-slavery, and
will naturally go for Buchanan; the Northern X. Ms
arc antslavery, and naturally go for Fremont
One is probably just as much X. n. as the other;
and in all probably neither Of them have any sym
pathy with the Order

IHE PENNSYLVANIA MINERS FOR FIRE.
MoNT.-The Coal and Iron Miners of Pennsyl-
vania, embracing a numerous and powerful ar
my of honest yeOmanry, do not consider ''ten
cent Jimmy" as at all worthy of their suffrages.
They are not quite prepared to work for ten
cents day, nor is their mental vision sufficient
ly clear to perceive that there is anything very
democratic in Buchanan's loW-wages theory.
The Pathfinder of the Rocky-mOuntains is
the man for them. The Miners Journal, pa
per devoted especially to the interests of this
large class of Pennsylvania working men, and
which is the exponent of their sentiments, speaks
follows
''ln regard to Mr.. Fremont's personal charac-
ter, we agree with the Hartford Courant, that
the more he is studied, the more we see the gen.
ulne manliness of his character; the self-reiant
heroism with which he faces his work and Crap

Democrat.
The Telegraph gave last week full history
of the vote in question. The Democrat we be-
lieve has as yet omitted to publish the following
record with reference to the course of IFS candi-
date to which we earnestly but affectionatey
call its attention -
/. In 1886 Mr.. buchanan supported bill to
prohibit the circulation of abolition papers
through the mail.
! 2. In the same year he proposed and voted tor
the admission of Arkansas.
! 3. In 1867 he denounced and voted to re-
iect petitions for the abolition of slavery IN the
district of Columbia.
| A. In 1887 he voted for Mr.: Calhoun s.famous
resolutions, defining the rights Of the states ana
/ the limits Of federal authority, and Affirming 1t
/ to be the duty of the government 10 protect ana
uphold the institutions of the South
| s. In 1888, 1889 and 1910 he invariably vot-
ed with Southern senators against the consider
alton of anti-slavery petitions.
! g. In I844-45 he advocated and voted tor the
annexation of Texas.
! Z. In lS47 he sustained the Clayton compro-
mise,
! g. In 1850 he proposed and urged the extern
sion of the Missouri compromise to the Pacific
Ocean.
| 9. But he promptly acquiesced in the COM
promise of 1850, and employed all his influence
in favor of the faithful execution of the fugitive
slave law.
10. In 1854 he demonstrated against an en-
actment of the Pennsylvania legislature for OBJ
structing the arrest and return offugitive slaves
IL. In 1854 he negotiated for the admission
of Cuba.
II. In 1855 he approved the repeal OF the Mis-
souri, restriction, and supported the principles of
the Kansas Nebraska act
10. He never gave vote against the inter-
est of Slavery and never uttered word which
could pain the most sensitive southern heart.
And the Charleston Mercury sums up an ar
tcle on his fidelity IN these words.
'But, in order that the absurdity of the charge
of Mr.. Buchanan's being a "freeseiler" may, if
possible, become apparent, we need only cite
the fact, Iac0 gears ago, he signed tie OStend
manifesto, document ,ohOSe sole object ,cas to ac-
qnire Cuba, out Of ,chich taco or three Stare states

Instructive to remark.

1t is instructive to remark that our Democratic
friends in publishing the platform recently adopt
ed at Cincinnati, omit the following resolu-
ton -
RcSOtred, That the Administration of Frank
lin Pierce has been true TO democratic principles,
and therefore true to the great interests of the
country: in the face of the most violent opposi
ton he has maintained the laws at home, and
therefore we proclaim 20 orr unqualified ad-
n,tratlon Of has measures and policy.
We don't wonder that that our democratic
friends conceive it for their interest to ignore
this plank of their platform 1t is certainly a
most offensive and Objectionable one; but it will
not be forgotten that Mr. Buchanan accepted the
tchole platform, distinctly denying his own right
to take from it single plank. If the admins
tration of Franklin Pierce has been true to the
great interests of the country, of course Mr..
Buchanan who endorses that opinion will carry
on his administration in the same spirit We re-
gret that our frien DIS lack the courage to avow
the position they hold. BY skulking and attempt
ing concealment they furnish the most incon-
trovertible evidence that their objects are not
fit for the public eye or public endorsement.

Brutal Murder in Libertyville, Lake Coun-
ty-Arrest of the Murderer

We have been informed Of the particulars of a
most brutal murder committed in Libertyville, in
this county, on the night of the Sd inst. The name
of the murdered man was Roman Morris a French
man. lie mas found early the next morning lying
in the road, loading from the Ellis farm to the O.
plain bridge. His head and face were beaten in G.
most shocking manner; and his upper jaw was brok

his side and face and he exhibited signs of having
made desperate resistance. His pantaloon peck.

Closing up the Column.

The recent elections indicate very clearly that

earuos tly trust he viii refuse) and thus divert to
some little extent the pro-slavery element of the
north which aside from that part oft which expec is
the spojls ofoce is indifferent, and thus insure us a
victory where might otherwise be doubtful but the
South at least will be united in defence Of slavery.
The columns of FREE lon will be closed in the same
way in the north. The yarious OF difficulty
which have separated the anti-slavery men, have
been for long time weakening, and there can be
little doubt but the attitude of the south will produce
corresponding state OF things in the North. Indeed
is inevitable that the cause which makes the hosts
of slavery one will also make the hosts of freedom
one. The phenomenon of an unbroken phalanx of
Southern States is about to be Witnessed but il is
phenomenon which could not occur, and would not
be complete without corresponding union of the
free States.
Iowa leads the column, and by her vote shows
clearly that the vote of 1854 when erery free State

President had it been Presidential election is not
to be diminished but aided IT, Surely our cause

Setting I'D the Pins.

We judge from such superficial evidences as
thrust themselves upon our attention that consi-
derabe activity prevails among such Of our hum
ker brethren as are aspiring for the nomination
of that party as a candidate for Congress in this
district. A distinguished citizen Of Milwaukee
whose name rumor connects with this Congress
sionai aspiration, has blest our little city with his
presence at least three. times recently, although
it is not within our memory that he was ever be-
fore seen here, and we presume has perfected all
the necessary arrangements with those who as
sumo to give away what is left of the Democratic
party in this section. Ofcoursc, as Milwaukee
must elect the bunker if he is elected at all, she
will have the nominee, which we presume will
be the sociable and industrious gentleman to
whom We have alluded, or the present reproson-
tatiye, Daniel Wells.

No GOETHE forts of the Fillmore leaders
in Indiana to sell their party to the Buccaneers,
have proved unavailing. The papers of that
State say: The Fillmore party will not sue
coed in giving Indiana TO Buchanan. They late
~ hold State Convention and nominated an
electoral ticket The design of the above OBJ
ject was so plain, that the Vincennes Gazette
and Terre Haute Express, which had previously
supported Fillmore, took down his name and
run up that Of Fremont.
We believe there are now but two papers in
Indiana that support Fillmore, and the same
number in Illinois.-ChicagO JOmnat

THE REELECTION OF P. s. BROOKS.


THE REFLECTION OF p. s. BROOKS
The extra Congressional Election for the 4th
District is over, and Preston S. Brooks is OF
course unanimously returned to the seat he late
ly occupied in the Federal House of Representa-
tYes. We are unable to say what has been the
strength of his vote among the people at large
AT this place the turnout was very full, consid-
ering the election came off in such hot weaeher
and at so quiet a time. But whatever may be
the strength of his vote, it is perfectly certain
that his whole constituency sympathize with and
applaud his spirited course of conduct They
not only believe that the castgation of Charles
Sumner was entirely justifable, but they take
pride in pointing to their own gallant represen-
tatlVe as the man who inflicted it. 1t is not a
mere cold endorsement on their part, but an &C
tive, warm, demonstrative approval.
We have ourselves heard hundreds his con-
stitutents speak ofthe whole affair with the quiz
ering lip and flashing eye of most cordial SYM
to think it wrong. For Edgefeld, especially, we
speak with emphasis. She says to her member,
"JteH done, good and faithful servant of ne
cessary she would add, Hit en- dgaiu :" And
she wishes it to 60 out to her enemies at the
North, III manner palpable and unmistakeable,
that her noble son is more cherished than ever
for the righteous blows he has so resolutoy laid
on in defence of South Cardinals fame aud Sen
ator Buffers honor. She approves she APP
plauds and now she eXuts in returning her rep
resentative Immediately and unanimously to the
Congress in which he has stood forth before the
country as a true gentleman and high -souled
patriot.
