The Republican party bias failed to elect its Ma
tional candidates, yet We have not since Election
met the first cOmpatriOt who regards the result as
defeat. On the contrary, the universal greeting
has been" We have done nOby for beginning
eve can surely beat them next time" Aud this
confidence is based on facts which every one can
appreciate. We have carried more States than our
party existed in barely one year ago. Though IN
successful our exhibition Of strength ecctrdcs our
friends and amazes our adversaIies. One year ago
the Republican party was organized in our State,
ard it then beaten by both Of the rival parties
by msiorties Of over l0, 900 votes Now we beat
them both signally-the Buchanan by $1,000 and
the Fillmore by over 10000 majority Why may
not four years show similar change in the Union
To secure it, we believe it is only necessary that
truth should be industriously, Systematically diff

Penns, lvania differ from those of Grows not 80
much in their judgment on given state of facts as

kept acquainted with the progress of events in
Kansas the former have not. We venture to say

occurrences in Kansas, which no one could dispute

Incredible.
We defer for the present all considerations con-
necttd with another Presidential canvass. Very
maDy earnest Republicans all around us, ia view of
the magnificent vote polled for Fremont aud the
fact that Jefferson, Jackson aud Harrison were
seyerally beaten in their first canvass for the Pres
dency but triumphant IN the next, urge the imme-
date denomination of Fremont and Dayton for
1860, and the commencement of vigorous canvass
in their behalf. This may or may not be best; we
indicate no preference, but calmly await further i'll
dications of the popular will.
With regard to principles, however, wo have
no hesitation. Ii is not Only advisable bat urgently
necessar, that systematic and energetic efforts for
the further enlightenment Of the masses should be
commenced at once. Our electioneering ADVERSE
