AGAIN, AND AGAIN.

Mr.. WEsTERvELT, of Columbus, Ohio, writes
Washington city, has been making speeches
out in that region, in which, after dealing
blows at Mr.. Buchanan and his party, he de-
votes himself specially to running down Col.
Fremont, representing him as a Catholic, as
having been communicate in that Church, as
having promised to bring his children up in
that faith, &c. He is traversing this State, "
says Mr.. Westervelt "and, presume, other
States, on an electioneering tour for Mr.. Fill
| more. Now, who is Mr.. Tasistro2"
Mr.. Tasistro was translator in the State
Department, appointed, we believe, under Mr..
Fillmore's Administrations and he convinced
to hold that position under Mr.. Pierce, until,
having written letter for some newspaper, to
which serious exceptions were taken by the
French Minister, it became expedient that he
should be dismissed, or should vacate his place.
We have known him as quiet sort of man,
not figuring in politics, but generally consult.
ling his own ease. What particular pleasure
he, an Aishman and a Catholic, can take in
trying to set Protestants against Col. Fremont,
by charging him with Catholicism, and in
eectioneering for Mr.. Fillmore, the Anti
Foreign and Anti Catholic candidate for the
Presidency, passes our comprehension.
Of course, our friends are not to be moved
by such charges. 1t is a wonder that the Blu
chanan managers have not imported some
Mormons from Utah, to testify to the Colonel's
aihliation with the Latter Day Saints. There
Is record evidence of the fact that he was at
one time among them, while on Western ex
ploration; may he not have become convert
to the new Bible?
Pray Heaven, this may be the last election
in which mans religious faith or connection
may be brought into the question of his fitness
for office. For one, whenever this subject is
brought up, we must enter our stern protest
against the anti-Christiau, anti. american dog
ma of miserable bgotry, that none but a
Protestant is qualified for civil Office.

THE TRUE STATE OF THE CASE.

The Boston Atlas some time since contained
calculation, greatly increasing the Republi-
can majority in the next House. 1t is best not
to delude ourselves with extravagant hopes. In
Maine and Iowa, the Republicans gained two
members, and it is claimed that one from Mis-
souri, will be found supporting their policy in
relation to Kansas. But, the elections of last
week, we apprehend, have more than counter
balanced these gains. Ohio, which now is rep
resented by nineteen Republicans and two Fill.
more Know Nothings, has just elected five
Buchanan men, so that the Republicans lose
three members; and in Pennsylvania their
losses are still heavier, to say nothing of In
diana, which, we fear, will turn up FIVE Blu.
chanan Representatives.
These losses of the Republicans, and the cor
responding gains to the Slave Democracy, have
been effected Indirectly, but surely, by Fillmore
Know Nothingism, which has run a third ticket
with no chance Of doing anything but defeating
the Republicans. 1t seemed to think this Of
far more Importance than to put down Dis
union and Rufianism, and save the People OF
Kansas from Oppression.
The Republicans must look the fact boldly
in the face: In the next Senate, they will in.
crease their force, but in the House they will
fall short of their present number, although
outnumbering, we hope, either of the other
| parties.
What is the practical lesson? To concen
trate more effort than ever on the election Of
Colonel Fremont. If they gain the Presidency
it will more than compensate for their dimin
ished strength in the House if they lose it
Kansas and Freedom and the rights of the
free States will be at the mercy of the Dis
unionists, who have established Reign Of
Terror in the South and in Kansas, and are
now straining every nerve to subject the North
to its black code. Fillmore Know Nothingism
has been able to defeat them in certain local.
ties, but they exult to see that in the popular
vote in the three great States, in which this
| pestiferous influence has inflicted on them loca
losses, they have gained SO largely that they
may justly calculate on decisive triumph il
November, if they viii but put forth effort.
commensurate with the occasion.
Let them not stop, then, to count their gainl
or mourn their losses. They have majority
of the popular vote in probably all the fret
States, and if they work well and wisely, the
day may be theirs. Let them remember tina
now, more than ever, the battle between tn,
Slave Power and the Free Power hangs upo,
the decision of the Presidential contest.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The following is a summary of the laws and
constitutional requirements, in the election OF
a President and Vice President:
/. Electors elected on the FIRST Tuesday after
the first Monday in November.
?. Electors meet on the first Wednesday in
December, and cast their votes. They then
sign three certi6cates-send G. messenger with
one TO the President of the Senate, at Wash
mgton, before the first Wednesday in January
another 10y mail to the same person, and the
third deliver to the United States District
Judge, where electors meet.
s. Each State provides by law for filling any
vacancy IN the Board of Electors, occasioned
by absence, death, or resignation. Such of the
electors as are present are generally authorized
10 MI any vacancy
4. The Governor gives notice TO electors OF
Their election, before the first Wednesday in
December.

named, as we had before the State elections
no more, no less
To us it looks like insanity for the Fillmore
men to expect success in any event for their
candidate. They know they cannot elect him
by the People the utmost they can look for is,
to throw the election into the House; and
whatever the honest people who are supporting
Fillmore may expect, their leaders understand
very well that he cannot be elected there.
What sixteen States can be carried for him
For recollect, it is a majority of States, not of
Representatives, that elects in the House.
1t is quite probable that the late results in
Indiana and Pennsylvania may stimulate the
Fillmore Party in the South. The certainty
that Fremont would carry the free States
would naturally paralyze their efforts, as moth
ing could result from them. But the partial
Democratic gains in these two States, casting q
shade of doubt on the prospects of Fremont,
they will increase their exertions, with the
hope of carrying some of the Southern States,
and thus precluding majority for any one
of the candidates in the electoral college. But
what do they expect to gain by this policy I?
The control of several States-the perpetuation
of their own political existence-the defeat OF
Fremont and Buchanan, but not THE ELECTION
OF FILLMORE. Mind that They are too
shrewd to indulge in extravagant day-dreams.
They know that the 4th of March would arrive
without an election by the House, that Brock
inridge would be chosen Vice President by
the Senate, and that Breckenridge, slave
holder, member Of the dominant Oligarchy,
a man committed to the entire policy of that
OEgsrchy, would then, under the Constitution of
the United States, be acting President. Now, if
they can use Mr.. Fillmore to accomplish all these
purposes, to give death blow, as they hope, to
Fremont and Republicanism, Buchanan and the
Free State Democracy, and indirectly place
Mr.. Breckenridge in the Presidential Office, they
will gain much for themselves, secure the con-
tinued domination of the Slave Power, humble
the free States, administer a bitter pill to the
Buchanan men in those States, and not grieve
the slave-driving Democracy of the South
but, will Mr.. Fillmore and his followers in the
free States tell us what they are to gain from
such movement2 Why will not the men of
the North and West, who are supporting him
so zealousy, ask themselves the question, cui
bono
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-10-23

jority of the whole number of electors, shall be
the President.
6. If no person has majority as above, the
choice Is to be made from the three highest re-
turned. The members of the House, by States,
form themselves into Electoral Committees, and
the majority determine which is to be the choice
OF the State-each State having only one vote.
Z. If neither of the candidates get majority
of the States before the 4th of March, then the
Vice President shall act as President.
8. If the people do not elect through their
electors Vice President, then the Senate of
the United States shall make the election from
the two highest candidates returned to them by
the electors.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-10-23

under the invalid acts of the spurious Legisls-
ture.
Had the Free State people responded to the
Governors Proclamation, they would virtually
have recognised the constitutionality of that
body and its acts, and thus have given the lie
to all their declarations, stulti6ed themselves,
and allied themselves with the Federal Admin
istration and its minions against the House of
Representatives, the champion of their rights.
Mr.. Whitfield, of course, has been chosen by
his friends, but his election is invalid. Such
will be the judgment of the House, when be

THE POLICY OF THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS.

The Pro-Slavery men and Missourians had
everything their own way in the late election
for Territorial Delegate and members of the
Assembly. The people of Kansas generally hav-
ing assumed that the test oaths prescribed by
the selfstyled Legislature are unconstitutional
and oppressive; that to comply with them in.
wolves moral turpitude and degradation and
that the body which attempted to impose them,
and which prescribed the regulations under
which the election was to be held, was not a
Legislature, but utterly without authority, would
have nothing to do with the election. Their
course was reasonable and proper, as an oppo-
site one would have been illogical and absurd.
The Governors proclamation was virtual
recognition of the authority Of the so-ealled
Legislature, and the validity of its acts.
Against both, the Free State people had pro.
nounced their verdicti and the House of Rep
resentatives Of the United States, on the re-
port of its own Committee appointed to inves
tigate the whole subject ratified their verdict
and elected from his seat the Delegate chosen

terferes with the civil affairs of Kansas. A gen.
tleman has arrived from Leavenworth, who saws
a large number of Missourians were in the town
yesterday morning, drinking, racing, and riot
ing, just as the spirit moved. We have expect
ed no collision, as no Free State man intends
to recognise the election in the least, and they
will therefore avoid the polls, and not mingle
in the disgusting scene. We expect, however,
to hear of outrages committed by these voting
saints, while in our country, especially in the
southern districts"

We ought to have noticed this work before
for nothing issued Of late years from the press
can we commend more heartily to our readers.
1t is biography and history combined-the lie
of great man combined with the life Of a
great nation-exhibited by a genius quick 10
appreciate the philosophy and characteristics
features Of both, and whose narrative, grace
full, flexible, animated, and dramatic, never
violates rigid truth or good taste. Often az
We have read of Washington and the struggle
of our Fathers for independence, never did We
understand so clearly the character Of the
former, never were we so deeply moved by the
great events Of the latter, as by reading these
fascinating pages of Irving.
The anthor finds his materials growing upon
his hands. The three volumes before us bring
down the history of Washington only to the
year l778-'79, Inore remaining TO be done than
has yet been accomplished. We are glad OF
it. So long as the work shall continue so
Astounding in interest, we care not to what e1'
tent it may be carried.
