two of my old party friends from the
county Of Gibson, is indeed a CRATE
ful tribute to the wounded, bleeding
heart. Amidstt general desola-
ton that has swept over that once
proud and patriotic old party it is
refreshing to see few rising amidst
the general wreck to proclaim their
devotion to its ancient sacred men,

Thank God, we get kue.

to see that old banDer at the head
of conquering legions. 1t may be
that its embattled hosts will never

mighty tread. But my friends, Chow

to yon,) its spirit lives-its broad,
conservative, national spiri: can nev-

prayers of its iIlustrious founders, it
must live as long as justice, truth
or freedom lives. But, gentlemen,
in this hour of our party dismember-

will not, forget we have a country
Our first aud highest and last alle-

NeD Kork.-The City gives an increased

Gazette says that England demands of Naples
change of Ministry, the abolition of the pres

same paper states that France would be salts
fed with general amnesty, and hopes that the
speedy re-assembling of the Paris Conference
has shaken the resistance said to come from
England.
Parliament has been further prorogued until
the 18th of December.
Ndty.-The Duke of Tuscany, taking alarm
at the demonstration against Naples, appears
disposed to grant concessions to his people by
reviving the Constitution of l848. The Paris

Ancona and Bologna.

met at Big Springs on that day.
Nearly all the districts in the Territory were
represented, and the Convention was presided
over by Judge Schuyler.
On the first ballot, Gov. Reeder received los.
and Mr.. Barrott II votes. Reeder was then
unanimously nominated. The Convention an.
pointed committee, who reported that the cleo
ton be held by circulating a protest against
Whltheld's election, and recommending Reeder
to be the choice Of the people of Kansas.
A canvassing committee of five was appoint
ed, and resolutions were passed endorsing the
political course of Mr.. Reeder, and expressing
determination to continue zealously and act.
lively to sustain Freedom in Kansas.
Another resolution censuring Gov. Geary was
indefinitely postponed.
The prisoners are on trial at Lecompton.
Geary is still in the southern part of the Ter.
ritory, making arrests.

Of the other nine States, Florida, Texas, and
Missouri, we presume, have gone for Buchanan,
giving him lG votes more-in all, l40 votes.
The returns from Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, and Louisiana, leave those States in
doubt. We shall estimate Iowa and Wiscon.
sin, with their nine votes, for Fremont, which
will give him lO8. Louisiana has probably
thrown its vote for Buchanan, which will secure
him l46; and that he has carried at least one of
the three remaining States, Indiana, Illinois, or
California we can hardly doubt. If so, he is
elected.
Boston, Noc. 5.-The Legis-
lature of this State stands as follows Senate,
80 Republicans, and one district to be heard
from. House, 28l Republicans, and Ia Of the
Opposition party. Four towns to be heard
from. This secures Mr.. Summers reelection.
Boston, Nor. 5.-Returns from all but 20
towns give Fremont lO2,9Il; Buchanan,
1888; Fillmore, 1924. The Republic
have the Legislature almost unanimon"'v

20 Tork.-The footing up of returns, as far
as received, though many oithem are simply plu-
ralities, is as follows: Fremont, 1857 Bu-
chanan, 2,782; Fillmore, 1918. Fremout's
plurality over Buchanan, 25,3l4. 1t will doubt
less be further increased.
1t is estimated that eighteen Republicans
and twelve Democratic Congressman have been
chosen, with three doubtful.
Matteson, Republican, is reelected to Con-
gress in Oneida Burroughs, Republican, in
Niagara, over Washington Hunt Morgan, Re-
publican, reelected in CAyuga by an over
whelmng majority; Corning, Democrat, elect
ed in Albany.
Michigan.-This State gives increased Re-
publican majorites. Howard and Waldron,
Republicans, are reelected to Congress, and
Leach, Republican, is elected, in place of Peck,
Democrat. The Legislature is largely Repub-
lican, which secures a United States Senator in
place of Gen. Cass.
DeIaaoare.-The returns from this State are
complete. Buchanan's majority is 1858. White
ley DEM is elected to Congress by 1000 ma
jority. The Legislature is Democratic.
South CarOlind.-The Legislature Of South
Carolina yesterday elected electors, under In
structions to vote for Buchanan.

if Hanover should not desist, send man of war
or two to protect their merchant vessels which
are sailing up the Elbe.
1t is astonishing that Great Britain, France,
Holland and other nations, whose shipping is
by far more interested in this trade than that
of the United States, should never have protest
ed against black mail being levied on their
subjects. Talk of Riff pirates-why, this pill
ferage on the river Elbe amounts sometimes in
one day to more than the Riffs have taken du.
ring this century. But they are not connected
with royal families, like Governments who have
succeeded the sea kings in Europe.
