FOREIGN NEWS.

The advces from Liverpool are four days
later than these previously received. Both
politically and financially their contents are
important. In Spain the O'Donnell minis
try has fallen, and, as was anticipated, has
been replaced by Narvaez and his adhe-
rents. Thus the Christian clique has
completely triumphed, and the treachery of
O,Donnell to Espareto and the liberal cause
has been fully avenged. Spain will now
be governed SCION les Hees NapoieonienneS

press and people. This, hOwever, can on

ed if in another month or two O'Donnel

agement of the western division, for the
promptness and dispatch which have char
acterized their movements since the con-
solidation of the different roads between
here and Pittsburgh.
We notice that lands in the vicinity of
the road have materially increased in value
in the last few months, and there is little
doubt but they will double in value in the
next two years. We have an immense
quantity of good timber-probably more
than any other county in the north part Of
the State. and when the railroad is finished
to Chicago, Our lumber trade will be i'm.
mense. Thousands of dollars worth Of
timber have been destroyed in this county
in consequence of having no outlet; but
times have changed and bright future
awaits us.

Our work is done, so far as the present
political campaign is concerned; the dye
is cast, and should James Buchanan be
elected, we will be amply repaid for all our
toll; should Mr.. Fremont be the lucky man,
regret would be of no avail. We have us
ed our best efforts to promote Democratic
principles, believing that in so doing we
were contributing our mite towards doing
the greatest good 10 the greatest number.
1t has not been our intention to wrong or
misrepresent any person. We have been
placed in a position where it was necessary
to use plain language, and probably We
have been little too plain; of this, howev-
err, others are probably better judges than
we are
In our next issue, We will most likely be
able to give the result of the late election
sufficiently accurate to settle the question
about who will be our next President. AS
soon as that fact is ascertained, the polite
al parties will quiet down; but little more,
comparatively speaking, will be said about
kansas-things will quietly move along as
formerly, and the Republican party will
fall to pieces, and come up in future under
some other name.
Never were we moro rejoiced thata cam
paign was over, than now; and with the
verdict of the people we are content. 1t
Is ascertained to a certainty that the DEM
ocrats will have good working majority
in the next Congress. They also have a
large majority on joint ballot in our own le-
gislature, which will be great check to
the accidental majority that the Republic
ans have in the Senate. Our Legislature
will have large amount of important bus
mess to transact this winter; and as Presi-
dent making is about over, and murders
and robberies less frequent in bleeding
Kansas, it is to be hoped that our legisla-
ture will not adjourn until the business for
which it was convened is performed.

TEcUMsEH, X. T., Oct. 18th, 1856

TEcUMsEH X. T., Oct. 18th, 1856.
Editor Of Day Book
Since last wrote you, nothing very in
teresting has transpired in Bleeding Kan
sas;" but from what has occurred within
the last few days, l am of the opinion that
our troubles are all over. Governor Gea-
ry, by his wise, active and impartial policy,
has restored peace, created confidence in
his own power among the people, and con
sequently everything has materially chang
ed for the better. A few days since the
Governor dispatched Col. Cook, of the U.
S. A, with body of troops, to watch the
movements Of Lane on the Nebraska line
Col. Cook succeeded in capturing about
$50 of Beecher's army, with large amount
of arms. munitions of war, &C., &c. AS
l had previously predicted, Lane would at
tempt to act under orders to keep up the
"Rawhead and Bloody Bones stories about
Kansas, until the 25th or 3Oth of this
month; after that time we may expect them
to become as quiet and docile as lambs. |
see that the brave and chivalrous General
Lane has challenged Coils Doniphan and
Boon, of Mo-, to pick party of their best
men, and fight the question out by spilling
blood Thank God, the American people
have not yet become sufficiently democrat
ised and degraded in their feelings and
sentiments, as to crafty the base ambitions
of such oifscourings of Gods creation as
Lane. He would, no doubt be glad If some
one would put an end to his miserable cx-
istence. This is the man who, when de-
feated in Indiana for Congress, for his vote
on the Nebraska Kansas Bill, came out to
Kansas to lay his wrongs before the hardy
pioneers, and TO call on them TO avenge
him. If the world we're made up of such
men, how Don we might look for vista
ton of Gods wrath; but there are righteous
men in lsreal yet.
If our difficulties have actually beer
brought to close; you may see Kansas
advancing at an unprecedented rate in the
scale of wealth and intelligence; but | shall
be prepared to witness almost anything un
til after the Presidential election; then oul
peace will be permanently restored, and We
will be the thirty second star in the Ameri
can galaxy, ere another Presidential cleo
ton shall come upon us; and we will add
another pillar to the Temple of Democracy
wherein al patriots bow at the shrine OF
| Constitutional Liberty. "ScorT.'

to accede to it, it is believed that the COM

patched to the Bay of Naples There is
some talk of submitting the question to the
consideration of second Paris Congress
on the special demand of Russia. A letter
from Copenhagen, under date OF October
IL, asserts that all the difficulties relating
to the Sound dues have been definitely set
tled; but we apprehend that the alleged ar
rangement does not cover the position of
this country on the question.
Late advices from Bombay state that the
Indian government was making prepara-
tons on vast scale for the invasion OF
Persia. The occupation of Herat by the

movement; but this pretence cloaks, in
all probability, another grand annexation
scheme like that of Dude. Russia is sta

This fact, combined with the rumors ahoat
regarding the ultimatum to Naples and the
fall of the O'Donnell Ministry, had sent
down stocks three quarters per cent, and
the bank directors were stated to be in daily
consultation, and to have it in contempla-
ton to raise still higher the rate of dis
counts. From France the news is more
reassuring The Bullion of the bank was
said to be increasing both in Paris and at
the branches; and it was rumored that the
Rothschilds had contracted to supply gold

francs. These statements lad not prevent

ELECTED BY NEGROEs-It is said that
Mr.. Lewis d. Campbell, of Ohio is elected
to Congress by tho vote of negroeSi The
Cincinnoh Ehqairer says:
There is no doubt that Mr.. Vallandig-
ham is elected by the vc'es of the legal
electors. Mr.. Campbel's apparent major
ity of nineteen is made up by negroes who
have no right to vote under the State Con
stitution, its provision being "ohite mate
citizens of tie United States" Some for
ty negroes are known to have voted Tor
Campbell, in plain defiance of the consu-
tuition. In this connection we heard a
good story of Campbell, from Mr.. JOSIAH
Carnitz, oftbs city, who was yesterday in
barber shop at Hamilton. when Campbell
came in, and conversation was held be-
tween him and the negro occupants, both
of whom admitted that they voted for him,
Campbell. One of the negroes remarked
that the result showed what a few negroes
could do. Campbell thanked them for their
support and said that he did not desire any
better votes. We had this from Mr.. Car
nitz's own lips.

New Bridge.

The bridge across the river at this place
is now so nearly finished that teams can
pass over in perfect safety. We should
think from its appearance that we have got
a good, substantial passway between North
and South Plymouth. One improvement
in the present, on the former bridges over
the river at this point, is a side walk for
foot passengers, which will be a great con-
venience where there is such world OF
travel as there is here.
