For Fillmore. MARYLAND.
So far IA we have advices up to this hour q

State west or north Of Albany Erie only excepted.
which has not gone fer Fremont Herkimer On
ondaga, Cayuga and Tompkins by very large ma
jorities, while Steubcn, Chemung, and Seneca are
handsomely for the right. Buchanan may have
81, eco majority in the counties south and east OF
Albany, but we feel confident that those north and
west of that point have oveIbaanced this.
We have lost a battle. The Bunker Hill of the
new struggle for Freedom is past; the Saratoga
and Yorktown are yc. to be achieved. party OF
Yesterday without organization, without official
power, without prestige, and latterly almost
without hope, has not Overborne the Oldest party
in the country, with its hundred thousand Office
holders, its eighty millions 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 a SUBJ
stantiye existence in but sixteen States mas beaten
one Of The rival parties, which boast OF Their COM
psct ORGANIZATIONS in all the States, but has failed
TO beat the other in its first Presidential canvass.
James Buchanan is our next President, and John
c. Breckinridge Vice President, and the Free State
men of Kansas are temporarily delivered over to
the tender mercies of the Border Rufiians, tenn
pered by the colder but not less fatal craft Of the
Federal patrons of those Ruifans, who have just
aided in securing to those patrons another four
years lease of power.
1t is well to state the case thus fairly in its
broadest and worst spccts. Practically Il majority
of the American people have Endorsed outrages
more inhupan thsn Poland or Hungary ever
endured and voted that it is wrong to shoot and
scalp men in Kansas for peacefully striving to keep
theirs Free Territory, and make It Free State.
Practically, the verdict Of yesterday has eDslaved
Kansas, and made it treason and rebellion for her
devoted inhabitants to struggle longer to avert that
destiny. Practically the brutal ruffians who yester
day at most Of the polls throughout the Free States
eered at bleeding Kansas making sport of
robbery, arson, rape, and murder-have been in
dOrsed and commended by the vote OF their fellow
citizens. Practically, the American People have re-
versed the policy Of Slavery Restriction naugurated
by our Revolutionary patriots, and decided that Lib
erty and Slavery are equal in merit and equally nc
cordant with the genius Of Democracy. Practically
the Slave Power has been hidden to tahe possession
of the Federal Government, and ride rOugh-shod
over all who manifest opposition to its plea
sure or repugnancc to its sway. Practically,
it is settled that to loathe tho debasement of Man
to brute cbatielhood, and earnestly desire Freedom
for AL, is O crime in Free America, TO be punished
by exclusion from the National councils and
denial of any voice in the direction Of our public
affairs.
Such, we say, is the practical effect Of yester-
days vote; yet it is one unattended b, a large
majority of the voters. Aside from the Million who
vote any ticket called Democratic merely because of
its designation, there are hundreds of thousands
who voted for Buchanan or Fillmore hoping, trust
ing praying $50 many Of them as do not Igidly in
sst on the divorce Of Politics from Region) that
their triumph would not cOnduce to the snslave-
ment of Kansas or the extension in any respect of
the area of Human Bondage. They meant to vote
that Americans shall rule America that no man
should be prescribed on account Of lis religion or
nati,ity--hat the Union should not be dissolved
that Slavery should not be disturbed in the Save
States--that the People of the Territories should
have the privilege Of deciding whether to have
Slavery or not-they did not mean To indorse
the series of frauds and crimes BY which Kansas
has been put under the feet of the Border Ruiians
But no matter what they meant-the effect of their
vote is to mike Kansas this day Slave Territory,
in defiance Of the earnest struggles of threefourths
of her inhabitants, end place her on the high road
to become Slave State. The Border Ruff ans of
Missouri have not been able to subjugate her to
Slavery; but the People of the United States are
stronger and have done it, is constructive treason
benceiorth to defy in Kansas the atrocious code of
laws imposed on that Territory By Missouri inva.
SION and ballot-box stuling; it is felony to say IN
Kansas that Slavery is not legally established there
by this execrable and impudeut vaioy A hard
Winter and fearful ordeal are before our already
sorey-tritd brethren III kaosas. Heaven give them
strength to endure aud Outlive their most uuuelted
suferings.
For their sake, we mourn this result; for that Of
the glorious party which has sprung to life under
the inspiration ct generous indignation at their
wrongs ami sympathy with their efforts, we do not
regret it. To that party the future presents a
cloudlesS sky. All the poor trash which has been
used TO blind and dclude the People-tho bubble
about FremoIts birthplace cattle CONTRACTS, duels
(un'ought), komanism, &C., are boncef)rth lumber
Of The past. The base prctense that " bleeding
Kansas was an inVeLtion Of the Republicans to
carry The cleo inn can doc, M one longer. / QOu-
