DO surprised II Fremont swept the
North. The chances are that the con-
test assumes strictly sectional fora
the entire Moth for Fremont. the
whole South for Buchanan. II so and
Fremont is elected, what IL the next
step? The feeling Of the Southern
leaders Is that there remains but one
alternative for the South--revolution.
We are perhaps. therefore. nearly at the
end ofthc present state Of things. and a
new era IN the history Of the South
may soon begin. The feeling is in

Contrary to our expectation this
State has gone for the old liners BY a.
small najority-tetweer 5000 and
5000. Though We regret this result.
there is much in il TO rejsice over
Four years Joseph A. Wright was
elected Governor by 20.03l. and in
November. Pierce received the electo-
raj vote by majority Of only 1897
over Scott. falling short Of the
Governor minority 5.633. These
figures clearly show that II is not i'm.
possible to carry the state for
Fremont. But there is another view
If the subject equally gratifying.--
The one question, and the only ques-
ton before the country is the endorse
ment Of the Administration Of the
man who carried Indiana. four yeas
ago BY majority gilmore than $4,000.
Il is the only vots.'that has been given.
since his election, in which the popu-
Iarity Of his course has been tested.
Its unfair to compare the vote with
that Of two years ago. Then. seve-
raj thousand Democrats left the party,
on the Know Nothing question, and
for the time cooperate with the Re-
publicsns, or Anti Slavery extension
lists, but, having vented their spleen on
the naturalizsd citizens and finding It
impossible to make Know Nothingism
a vehicle for the propagation OF slave
ry, they have returned to their first
love. and the bitterest Know Nothings
Of two years ago, were the best friends
Of Willard 4 Go. this year. and the
most intolerant opponents Of Morton
and the Republican ticket. We do
not know a man in Franklin county
who went into the X. N. organization,
two years ago. from the Democratic
party, because Of his hostility to for.
eigners. who did not vote this year
with the Buchanan party. All anti
Nebraska Democrats, who affiliated
with the X. N; simply because they
presented the. only organisation against
Nebraskaism. werc this year firm and
consistent Republicans. II was such
q return to the bosom Of old lineism.
that carried this county. and the same
has carried the State. Nine out oil
ten OF the "Fillmore men" have. nc
doubt. voted for Willard. aud will un'
questionable vote for Buchansr.-
They prefer Buchanan to Fremont
because they are pro-slavery. or al
least. indifferent to its spread. II
this state is carried for Fremont, !,
must be over the combined vote o.
the Democrats and Know Nolhings
The hope that any considerable mum
Der will vote for Fillmore is delusive.
Regarding this vote as test Of Tho
popularity Of Pierce's administration
and taking the Governors majority
each year. as the data, the verdict C
the people Is a..most,overwhelming re-
buke Of the President and his party
Fifteen thousand Of falling oil, in
vote OF less than 100000 is no ordi
nary popular condemnation Of once
popular and powerful party. Thougl
we hoped II would be larger. we ar
glad that II Is so large. II the Re
publicans are true to themselves. the!

II seems that there still exists in that
part OF the territory a rowing band OF
pro-slavery guerillas, though whelh-
err they are or were part Of the pro-
slavery army which marched into the
territory last spring. il would be quite
difficult TO tell. Last summer The que
rilIa system Of warfare was the ia
vorite kind with them, and in this
system they drove out more anti.sla.
very settlers than they have done by
their wholesale raids. But the que.
rilla system from its very simplicity
suggests remedy in itself, and SO
we account for the appearance las.
summer Of several bands of Free
State guerillas, the most notable OF
which was the band which terrified
one Pate In submission. though his
was the greatest number. Thus !,
will be seen that this. unlike the in
vasion Of subjugation. is a game at
which two parties can play.

this new guerilla party in Southern
Kansas, but | have heard that they
drove out and burned the houses OF
fifteen Free State families. I have
every reason TO believe that this party
Is formed out Of the remnants Of
