Buchanan and Free Kansas.

Shortly after the Presidential election
took place, but before the result was
known except to those in the vicinity Of
the telegraph, a person who had learned
the result went into town not far from
here, and was accosted by Democrat
with the eager inquiry, What's the
news from election p Good news for
you" was the reply, Il" Buchanan is elect
ed" HUzza," exclaimed the exulting
Buchaneer, snow Kansas will come in
as a Free State" How many men vo-
ted for Buchanan, with the foolish expec-
tation that the cause of freedom in Kan
sas was to be benefited by his election,
there is no possibility of determining,
but doubtless not n few did so. The cry,
Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff of 49,"
swindled Clay out Of the vote of Penn
eylvania in 1874, and the cry &" Buchan-
an and Free Kansas" was not unlikely
used to equal purpose during the recent
campaign.
We commend to the special attention
OF the Democrat who rejoiced at Blu
chanan'a election as a victory for free
dom, and Of all others who have ever in
dulged the fond dclusion that democrat
ic administration would do, or allow tc
be done, anything to withstand the az
gressions Of slavery, the fact that Blu.
chanan has appointed to the Governor
ship of Kansas, Robert J. Walker, thu
nominee Of the pro-slavery interest,"
If Mr.. Buchanan had any disposition t.
give freedom fair chance in Kansas, h
would have re-appointed Gov. Geary
who administered the affairs Of that ter
ritory impartially. His successor pro
fe5scs indeed to be actuatcd by spirit c
fairness, but such professions are yer,
cheap and as worthless as they are cheap
1t is sufficient extinguisher of all hope
which might be entertained from Walk
cr'5 fairness, that he fully recognises tn
validity Of the bogus laws and announce
his intention to maintain them. That
is man Of greater ability than Shar
non, Atchison, Or any other official VIII
has ever had to do with Kansas affair
only makes the matter worse, for by
much as he surpasses them in ability,
so much does he exceed them in capacit
for mischief and in the disposition to d
mischief he is just their equal, himse
being witness.
We shall await with no little anxiet
the results of Buchanan's endeavors
promote tho oause of Freedom in Kansi
by the appointment of an able, and
we think, an INSCRIPTIONS pro-slaver
man to administer its affairs.

New Novels.

The BAY PATH. ByJ. G. Holland.
New York G. p. Putnam & Co. This
novel is far more deserving of notice than
many, which, as mere works of fiction, or
as stimulants to the mind of common
readers, may rank higher. As the au-
thor of the History CT Western Massa-
chusetts, DR.. Holland proved himself to
be intimately acquainted with the history
and antiquities of New England, and in
this volume he gives faithful picture of
New England life as it was 200 years
ago. He paints with a masters hand
the beginning of that great struggle be-
tween rigid Puritanism and religion and
politics, and a laxity in both those spheres
of action, which has continued down to
the present time and still exists. The
work is written with much literary skill
and may be proftably read by all who
can appreciate the charms Of historic
truth clothed in the graceful drapery
which a chasto Imagination throws around
its subject.
kATHE BRANDE. BY Holme Lee
New York; Harper & Brothers. This
is just what it purports to be-a freside
history OF quiet life. 1t is written in
an admirable style Of simple earnestness
and, although work of fiction, it is re
plete with common sense views of mer
and things, and life-lille deineations o
character 1t inculcates a love for hon
esty, truth, and other every day virtues
and is one Of the best books Of its kinC
we bave seen for a long time. This i
our first acquaintance with the author
but we hope it will not be the last.

Egypt long since shone as the bright
morning star of the intellectual world
art and science flourished there and left
monuments Of skill which shall remain
the wonder and establishment of all, I'M
til time shall be no more. But the
mighty Roman, looking upon her with
an ambitious eye, aided by her own des-
potic power, proved her ruin and to-day
she stands as cipher in the world. She
rose through the influence of learning
and religion she fell by the might OF
ambition. She was the most powerful
nation Of her time, but long since has
she fallen. and now she stands a proof
that might is not always right.

Caesar could rule Rome and master
the worla for a time, but right did not
influence his actions sordid, earth-aim-
inpambition ruled his mind, and Rome
reoiced when the assassin's dagger
sought his heart.
Night ruled the world in the " middle

e. Stringfellow announces that, un-
solicited by any one of the citizens" of
the Territory, he is "a candidate for dele
gate from Kansas to the next Congress.
We think if this renowned cut-throat
runs for Congress it is at the request OF
other than the residents of the territory
1t is probably at the suggestion of hi:
fellow ruilians, and should he be elected
what could Congress do but admit him Il
a seat? They would be obliged to do so
to be consistent with former acts-sucl
as legalising the bogus Legislature
Therefore, should Mr.. Stringfellow re

The nred Scott Decision.


G There is a difference of opinion
among the ultra Southern journals as to
the effect of the bred Scott decision
The Charleston Mercury dencunces with
much sarcasm and bitterness the South
ern politicians who assume that that the
question is settled, and utters the follow
ing gloomy forebodings:
"The victory we have won may IN
deed be glorious-more glorious because
of the disaster of the engagement. But
it is victory more fatal perhaps than
defeat, the forerunner of complete sub
lection. Like the soldiers of our reyo-
luton, they rise up stronger from each
struggle, with renewed vigor and more
determined resolution. We, exhausted
by every effort, stricken, inundated, but
beat back momentarily their fierce as
saults that we may cover our next retreat
and leave them in possession of our
camp fires. This has been the history of
our gallant contest with this Insignificant
rabble for the last fifty odd years. Again
we have passed through new struggle,
more insignificant at each meeting-again
our colors are flying over our march, and
again they are flying over our retreat
Back Back Our enemy is before us
In 60, when we meet again, let us see
to it that we have large swamp in our
rear behind us-it may be convenient to
cool off and Iuxuriate in after our next
triumph"
The South, a new Southern rights
journal recently established at Rich
mond, concurs in this view. 1t says:
"In the final conflict between slavery
and abolitionism, which this very decision
will precipitate rather than retard, the
principles of the judgment in the Dret
Scott case may be of some avail to thu
South in giving an appearance of justic'
and moderation to its position. Of thes'
advantages the South is secure; but lie

seems as if the same consequences wi
follow from our recent triumphs in th
Supreme Court"
On the other hand, the South Carol
: 5n5an maintains that the decision serve
eminently to advance the views of IL
: South, and " although temporary e.
element has arisen in the Republics
ranks, it will ultimately destroy the
. organization as a party"

BEUrIrUL GIRL GONE MAD FOR LovE-A
beautiful German girl named Hannah Rootker,
was taken to the Commercial Hospital yesterday
morning, . raving maniac; her reason COM
pletely overthrow by disappointment in love.
1t seems that she had been engaged to one of
her countrymen for some months, and had fully
expected to become his wife, when her father
informed her last Saturday that she should not
marry.
Upon the announcement she fell, as If struck
by lightning to the floor, and it was with much
difficulty she was restored to consciousness
She then began raving frightfully; and with
cries and screams and groans and tears and la
mentations, started the entire neighborhood Of
Bremen street where abe resided Nothing
could be done to calm or appease her-she grew
worse and worse until it was determined to re.
move her to the Hospital.
When there, she continued to rave, and would
have died from exhaustion before this had not
chloroform been administered to keep her quiet.
It was found necessary too, to bind her to the
floor, else she would have taken her own life,
leaped out of the window, or done ANYTHING
desperate. The physicians who saw her say
they never before beheld 90 raving maniac.
II h pitiable to observe this young and beau
tiful woman, just in the spring of life, suffering
and how intensely sho must suffer-all the
horrors Of madness, because of generous and
absorbing passion, which might and should have
made her happiness ON earth. Ia
She will be sent to-day to the Lick Run Lun.
