tlgc, anu EiIIerly almost WITHOUT nope, ms
not overborne the oldest party in the coun-
try, with its hundred thouand offiee-holderS,
its eighty million of annual expenditure, its
million and half of voters trained by the
habits of lifetime to vote without question
or hesitation whatever bears its label. The !
Republican party called into being by the
Nebraska Iniquity of 1854, having SUBJ
stantive existance in but sixteen States has
beaten one of its rival parties, which |
boaSted of its compact organizations, but has
failed to beat the other in its first Presiden-
tial canvass. James Buchanan is our next
President, and John G. Breckenridge Vice
President, and the Free State men of Kan
sas are temporarily delivered over to the
tender mercies of the Border Rufians, tenn
prred by the colder but not less fatal craft
of the Federal patons of those Ruffians, who
have just aided in securing to those patrons
another four years lease of power.
1t iswell to state the case thus fairly in its
broadest and worst aspects. Practically,
majority of the American people have en-
dorsed outrages more inhuman than Poland
or Hungary ever endured, and voted that it
is no wrong to shoot and scalp men in Kan
sas for peacibly striving to keep theirs free
territory, and make il Free State. Prac-
tically, the verdict of yesterday has enslaved
Kansas and made it treason and rebellion
for her devoted inhabitants to struggle lon
ger TO avert that destiny. Practically, the
the brutal rufians who yesterday at most Of
the polls throughout the Free States Jeered
at ''bleeding Kansas"-thus making sport
of robbery, arson, rape and murder-have
indorsed and commended by the vote of
their fellow citizens. Practically. the Amer
lean people have reversed the policy of Sla-
very Restriction inaugerated by our Revolu-
tionary patriots, and decided that Liberty
and Slavery are equal in merit and cquali-
ty accordant with the genius of Democracy.
Practically, the Slave Power has been bid
den to take possession of the Federal Gov
ernmrnt, and ride rOugh-shod over all who
manifest opposition to its pleasure or repug-
nance To its sway. Practically, it is settled
that to loathe the abasement of man to brute
chattlehoon, and earnestly desire freedom
for all, is crime in free America, to be
punished by exclusion from the National
councils and denial of any voice in the di-
reetion of our public affairs.
Such, we say, is the practical effect of yes.
tcrday's vote; yet it is one unintpndrd BY a
large majority of the voters. Aside from
the million who vote any ticket called Dem.
oeratie merely because of its designation
there are hundreds of thousands who voted
for Buchanan or Fillmore, hoping, trusting
praying 80 many of them as do not rightly
insist on the divorce Of politics from religion,
that their triumph would not conduce to the
cnSlavement of Kansas or the extension il
any respect the area of human bondage
They meant to vote that "Americans shal
rule America, that no man should be pro
scribed on account of his religion or nativit,
that the Union should not be dissolved
that Slavery should not be disturbed in thu
: Slave States-that the people of the Terri
tories should have the privilege Of deciding
whether 20 have Slavery or not-they dic
not mean to indorSe the series of frauls anC
crimes by which Kansas has been put unde
the feet Of the Bor,ler Ruffians. BIT NJ
matter what they mpant-the effect of thei
vote is to make Kansas this dav Slavt
State. The B B,rler RuffianS of MiSsour
have not been able to suhjugate her to Sla
very; but the people of the United State
are stronger and have done it. 1t is con
structive treason henceforth to defy in Kan
sas the atrocious code of laws imposed oI
that territory bv Missouri invasion and bal
lot box stufing; it is felony to say in Kan
sas that Slavery is not legally establishe,
/ there by this execrablo and impudent viI
lainy. A hard winter and fearful ordea
, are before our already sorely-tried brethrel
in Kansas. Heaven give them strength t
, endure and outlive their unmerited suffer
ing'.
For their sake, we mourn this result; fo
that of the glorious party which has sprung
to life under the inspiration of generous
Indignation at their wrongs and sympathy
with their efforts, VIC do not regret it. TX
that party the future presents a cloudles:
sky. All the poor trash that has been uSpC
to blind and deludc the peple-the babblc
about Fremont's birth place cattle contracts
duels (unfought.) RomanisIn, &c, are hence
forth lumber of the past. The base pre-
tence that "beeding Kansas" was an in
vention of the Republicans to carry the elec
ton can deceive no one longer. Thousand.
who would not hear or read the truth witt

border will hear and read it now, when they
know that it cannot have been trumped VI

Those who did not mean in voting for Blu
chanan, to doom Kansas to Slavery agains
her will, will be enlightened by the result
certain to follow. Tho Slave power ha
won great triumph it will take care t.
improve and enjoy it. Only let the people
observe and read what must inevitably fol
