False Prophets coming to their
Senses.

The following articles, (says the Penn
sylvanian.) from the New York Tribune
aud the New York Times, Immediately
preceding the election, give some slight
indication of the tone which her pre-
vailed in the black-republican papers:
From the New York tribune, Nov.
5, 1856:
That question is. Shall Kansas and
the Territory west of it to the Pacific
be blest with freedom or cursed with
slavery ? Shall this thousand millions
of acres-this area vast enough to sub
sist all the inhabitants now on the face
of the earth-be opened to the free Ia
Dor of the North or the sLave labor only
of tile South.
This is the white mans question
Think of it, northern mechanics and la
borers and resolve to vote aud to work
for the election of John. G. Fremont
for has election IS ALL that notc can
are this IS territory from tie clutch
a. the Stare holder.
From the New York Times, Nov. 4,
1856.
To our mind. nothing is clearer than
the conviction that the election of Blu.
chanan will be fertile in evils, appalling
magnitude to the peace and welfare Of
the country. 1t aciH make Kansas a
Stare territory and q Sluue State, and
extend slavery, as alegal institution and
a source of political power, over all the
Territories of the United States.
The following extracts, CONTINUES the
Pennsylvania from the same paper.
of yesterday, show what is their present
judgment upon the same question:
From the New York Tribune, Jan. 7
1857.
There prevails a very general, and W.
trust well grounded impression, tina
Kansas will come into the Union a free
State. We rejoice, therefore, il
a lively hope, but not in a sanguine con
fdence, that Kansas will be added to tn,
number of free States.
From the New York Times, Jan. Z
1857.
We hear from all parts of the Terri
tory that quiet has beer restored tha
general confidence is felt in the inten
lions and efforts of Gov Geary; ant
that there is scarcely any room 70

More shameless traducers of tie Dem

could o be found before the election
and now the Times. especially, wants t

The average cost Of American rail

cost on an average, $500 600 a mile;
the Belgium railways. $40 600; the
French railways, $3.50, 900; the Ger
