sides. these two great questions which were
proninent in our own State, everything else
which could Be used, was used against our par
ty and our candidate Even personal drtiac-
ton aud vile ssten cent SANDERS were scatter
ed all over the land. But notwithstanding all
the efforts Of the opposition, the verdict OF the
people was in favor Of the Constitution and the
Union. Religions bgotrv and intolerance were
overthrown, and the party which 50 suddenly
sprung into pXisence-whch fed only upon
those elements, is now only remembered among
the things which were Fanaticsm, Abolition
ism. and all their allies have been rrbnked, and
the American people proclaimed to the world
that they have not vet forgotten the warning
voice OF the father of their country, when he
urged them ''to frown Indignantly upon the
first dawning Of any attempt to ALLEVIATE one
portion of the Union from the rest.
Scarcely, however, had the noise OF the battle
died away, when the public mind again be-
comes settled. All are willing to submit TO the
decision Of the people at the halot-5ox. BY the
election Of Mr.. Buchanan, public confidence IS
resiored--thp good Of all parties acknowledge
his patriotism and abilities, and many OF his
enears now admit that the perpetulty Of the
Union has been secured by his election.
Already peace is restored 10 Kansas, and
much OF the violence OF party spirit has died a
w&v.
While we thus have much to gladden. and
encourage Us in the general aspect OF affairs,
there has occurred an event in our own STATE,
whiehiS we'll calculated to alarm and arouse rv-
cry true patriot.
During he late canpaign in Pennsylvania,
Lit was we'll undsr TODD that the Legislature then
70 br chosen, would be called upon 10 elect
Senator to serve in the Congress Of the United
States for six years, from the 4th cf March,
1857. The Legislature was elected with espe-
ciai reference tothiS fact. In the Countles Of
Adams, Franklin, Chester, Lycoming, Mtiin
and Washington the Democratic Party lost SIX
members by an aggregate Of about SO VOTES
Notwithstanding these unfortunate results, there
was a clear majority Of FIVE votes on joint bal
lot. Upon every principle Of honor the sue
crasful party was entitled to the Senator But
it is we'll known to toe country that by treach-
cry and by yIlainv, unequalled in the history
OF this or any other State, the fruits Of the VIC
tory Of toe second Tuesday Of October, 1896,
have been stolen By the enenv.
How tins result has been brought about It IS
not for MS to say. But there are some features
