3 Tar NExr CoNsssss g Probably the most graft
lying result Of the recent elections throughout the
United States says the jsbnrg Patriot, is the
Act that the next Congress will undoubtedly be
! Democratic. Already the Democratic gains amount
to - which renders the political complexion of the
next House certain, and the probability is that the
Democratic majority will be large The Senate will
remain as at present This fact, coupled with the
certainty Of Mr. Buchanan's election, will be grati
Tying to the whole country. Thefactons which con-
troll the present House of Representatives have be-
come curse to the country, and the people are
tired Of seeing national halls of legislation made
the theatre for tho propagation of reasonable doc
trines and sectional agitation. Like all popular
rors, the Republican deluson will be short lived,
and the destines of the country will once more be
placed in the hands of men who are actuated by pa
triotic motives and hold political principles vide
enough to embrace the whole American Union.
1t is pleasure to consider, that while the Wild
est ideas are terminated in free country, and the
most yenal passions are sometimes encouraged by
the designing until they grow into monstrosites, yet
the reason and reflection of the people are always
certain to check them ere they become dangerous
It will be thus with the dark god of abolitionisrn.
For time it threatened to grow to such magnitude
as to overshadow one half of our country but the
giant democracy has placed his foot upon the neck
OF the PROSTATE deity, and it will wrthe in the dust
until it expires. ---
When James Buchanan is inaugurated President
of the United States the 4th day of March, 1857
he will find himself surrounded by men who sym.
pathise with him on all great political questions and
who will aid him in quelling the eaouses that have
arisen in our land The time is not far distant when
the bitterness which now exists between different
sections OF the Union will vanish, and our whole
country will be harmonious and ali our people hap
Ply. For this great result the Democratic party
strives, and its invncible power will accomplish it.
The FOLLOWING is recapitulation of the elections
for Congress this year up to the present time:

Messrs. Editors of the Standard:

8. Eaitors of the Standard:
We went up to the Convention
Educational Convention
To the great schoolmaster's meeting:
And if you will give permission,
We will give your worthy readers
An account of what we had there
report of what we did there
An abstract of what we heard there
That although they were not present
They may know as well as we do
What we had and heard and did there.
Have you beard of Br oks and lSumuers-
Of their reconciliation?
They were there in perfect friendship,
Quite forgetful for the present
Ut their previous difficulties
But We had some antiquarians
W ho produced from their COLLECTIONS
IF strange things of .ther ages
Curiosities of value,
Of incalculable value,
One, the E0Ote of Aterander

Trampled monarchs underneath him.

For the mountains can produce them

No more CampbeUs be imported
From the distant Parker desert
For the western prairie travel;
Fol the Old North State can raise them,
Strong, and feet, and plenty of them.
Stranger than the Witch of Endor,
We had there on exhibition
Both the Ghosts of Wayne and Sampson.
Men were there of Sterling merit,
Men were there of WiIey cunning,
Men who could have taken RanE-in
Richardson of Henry's army;
But alas! Cyuren spirit
Took SO strong Holt upon them,
That the bravest begged for "quarters
And no man nor Brutc-on Garth could
Have evinced q Gretter terror,
When these ti-GerAardt-ed spectres
Pointed to the Gru0es beside them.
There was one there liz per-" tickter"
Who was SO unnamed BY terror,
That he scarce could Zu,zs-or WadlleN
From the windward to the Lee ward,
That he could not Walk-uD-rightly,
So he went and got his CyDfn,
Thinking death was Nye upon him.

With our "heasure" all upon it;
And we'll push it on quite reckless

Till our State be more enlightened
BY the Sun of Education;
Till the whole Earth shall acknowledge

Till our enemies be silenced
And be hushed the tongue of SLander.

a sHREWDE DTToR.

At a Welsh celebration in New York
DR.. Jones told the following amusing an
ecdote:
The speaker said that editors were like
other shrewd men, who had to live with
their eyes and ears open. He related a
story of an editor who started ii paper IN
a new village at the West. The town
was infested by gamblers, whose presence
was a source OF annoyance to the cltl-
zens, and who told the editor that if e
did come out against them they would
not patfonize his paper lie replied that
he would give them ii "smasher' next day.
Sure enough, his next issue contained
the promised '%smashel;' and, OH the fol
lowing morning the %redoubtable editor,
with scissors in hand, was seated In his
sanctum cutting out the news, when IN
walked a large man with club in band,
who demanded to know if the editors was
in. 'No, SIR was the reply, she has step
ped out; take a seat and read the papers,
he will return i'll Il minute Down sat
the indignant man of cards, crossed his
legs with his club between them, and
commenced reading the newspapers. In
the meantime, the editor quietly vamosed
down stairs, and at the landing below he
met another excited man with a cudgeI
in his hand, who asked him if the editor
was in. Yes, SIR was the prompt re-
spouse, Won will find him seated up
stairs reading a newspaper The latter
entering the room with A furious oath,
commenced a violent assault upon the
former, which was resisted with equal
ferocity. The fight continued untiI'they
had both rolled to the foot of the stairs
and pounded cath other to their sshearts
content.
