tenth section provides for the suspension orremoVl

the manner in which an elector can sue the Register

details not necessary TO synopsis, and which the
curious reader can find out all about by referring to
Saturday mornings Crescent. Sections eight and nine
refer to change of domic and prescribe how the
voter and Register shall act in the premises Section
ten desgnatcs the manner in which any person, whom
the Register may refuse to register may obtain re-
dress He can go before any District Court and have
his case tried summarily. The eleventh section pro-
rdes that the Office of the Register shall be kept
open every day, from O'Clock to 8, Sundays and
holidays, as fixed by law, excepted and that orgi
nal registering must cease three days prior to any
general State or"city election.
Here we will venture another suggestion. 1t would
be better to close the Registry three MONTHS instead
of '!three days. before a general election. This
would not interfere with anybody's rights while it
would subserye the general good by quoting the
public mind. Six or eight weeks before general cleo
tons there is suspicious rush before our District
Courts to obtain naturalization papers, which are
granted in unseemy haste, and frequently in open
defiance of law, just as though parcel of men who
had never voted in their lives would be seriously
damaged by waiting few months.
The twelfth section directs the Regiserto keep two
copies of the original Registry, to be called the
g Index General Register" which shall be an exact
copy OF the original with the exception that the names
snail be alphabetically arranged the other to be
styled the precinct Register into which the names
OF the voters of each precinct are to be copied alpha

The result Of the. contest in the Eth Seaa-
torial District, is most gratifying % our, friends
in al partslof the State That famous I bat
tie-grouad" has been the scene Of many fierce
and bitter struggle, and seldom has d morn DO
'f.oas triumph been achieved than that Of the
9TH instant. The welLpaid agents and runners
OF the democracy were early in the field, with
Their thfeatenings, gatherings, and pro1ered
brides the locofoco organ. for weeks before the
Election, devoted its special attention to that
quarter OF the county ]; and our neutral cotell-
porary in Wnsted joined IN the crusade. against
" Americanisn," assuring its readers that there
was an irreparable breach between the Amer
cans and Republicans in the Seventeenth. Our
opponents at last became desperate, aud seemed
determined upon" Victory or death" They re-
sorted to their old and welLworn weanons. and
the most INSCRIPTIONS falsehoods which malice
and partlzan ingenuity could invent, were freely
circulated against our candidate. And what
is the result? Mr.. NoRTHwAY is elected by
nearly four hundred majority A more fat
;tering verdict was peyer given to any candidate
in that District 1t is not merely asthorough
vindication Of Mr. NoRrHwAY from the SANDERS
Of venal and corrupt conclave, but We hail
the result as the triumph of principles and of
right. Mr. \. was well known as fearless, out
spoken exponent of the distinctive doctrines and
views Of the American and Republican parties
as they now exist. The issues were fairly be-
fore the people, and no aspers;ons or intrigues
conld induce them to hazard the success of their
candllats or their cause.

NICARAGUA As IT rs.-A correspondent ofthe
New York Conrier gives word Of warning
upon the manner that Americans are pressed
into the Nicaraguan service by Walker and his
coadjutors. He went out in the Northern
Light with some other passengers. On getting
70 Virgin Bay, all who had tickets to that place
were claimed as recruits for Walker as accept
Ing the Nicaraguan bounty, whether they had
paid for the tickets themselves or not The
writer. who had no through ticket to Calitor-
ola. was pressed in this manner by Walkers
ofhcials. who puta guard over him. Ga threat
ening to complain to the United States Gov.
erument. he was released. But others who
were forced ashore were not so fortunate, but
were compelled, against their viii and rcmoa-
straaces. 70 go to Grenada, where, If they were
not enticed into the army, they were made com
missary clerks, so that they should be ready
when wanted. He says the Inhabitants hate
the very name Of American, regarding them ali
as fllibusters. Efforts are continually being
made by the adherents of Walker to prevent
communication between passengers returning
nom Nicaragua and those going there and ex-
orb'tant charges for conveyance are made to
those who are dissatisfied aud wish to return to
the United States, $50 being charged for pas
sage down the San Juan river to such persons,
when the fare to others is but $40.

A Queer CoNrEsr.--The New York Legs
lature has put itself in very uncomfortable
prcdicament. The Constitution Of the State
provides that the members. shall be paid for on
ly 100 days duty, except an extra session is
called. The Legislature spent its 100 days in
squabling and then adjourned, without providing
for the means of carrying on the government, or
passing the bills required to be passed by the
Constitution, aud then called upon Gov Clarke
to call an extra session. The Governor, before
they adjourned, warned them that they had no
right to adjourn until they had done their prop
er business, even though they received no more
pay; but the Loco Focos and Americans com
biued to force the extra session, and did ad.
journ. The Governor very correctly refuses to
call them together again. rs he doubts whether
it is right for him thus TO evade the Constita-
ton.

the 2sd Of December. 1855, spiritual comnu.

states that it was communicated after the non.

very soon went down, stern foremost. IA tho
vessel sank, three persons escaped from the
wreck, and found temporary resting place on

Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN is perhaps the most
prominent candidate for the Presidential nomi-
nation of the Democratic National Convention,
to be held in Cincinnati in June next. Some
OF the Northern Democrats, it is understood.
have been urging his nomination on the ground
that as he has been out of the country during
the Nebraska struggle and is not directly iden-
tilted with the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, he would command more hearty support
at the North than either of his competitors.
If any tender-footed Democrats at the North
have fattered themselves that their Southern
masters would allow them to have in the per-
son Of Mr.. Buchanan, candidate not openly
pledged to the latest devices of the Slave Pow
er, they may be undeceived by the following
extract of letter from that gentleman to a
Southern politician, dated the 2Sth of Deem
Der last, and published recently in the Wash
ington Lnicn. Mr. Buchanan, evidently de.
termined that Pierce and Douglas shall have
no advantage over him on the score OF serylty
to the slave holders, says:
The question has been settled by Congress,
and this settlement should be inaexlbly main
tanned The Missouri Compromise is goe, and
gone forever. But no assault should he made
upon those Democrats who maintained it, pro-
yided they are now willing in good faith to
maintain the settlement as it exists. Such an
understanding is wise and Just in itself.
1t is well known how iaboured, in company
with Southern men, to have this line extended
to the Pacific Ocean. But it has departed -
The time for it has passed away, and verify
believe that the best--nay, the only-fnode
now left ofputting down the fanatical aud rest
less spirit of Abolition at the North is to ad-
here to the existing settlement without the
slightest thought or appearance of wavering,
and without regarding any storm which may be
raised against it.
Thus does the favouritc son of pcnnsylya-
MIA" the representative Of his country at St
James, volunteer to PROSTATE himself at full
length in the same ditch with his inferior rivals.
Truly slavery is an inexorable masterl
