Life in Washington.

MI. Wilson, the Canning of the Rcpub-
llcan party spoke two hours this morning,
and defended with great zeal the liberty and
enlightened princiralcs of his candidate,
whom he evidently regards rs the Napoleon
10 lreedom-thc cgg that is to bind together
the .iarring ingredients Of the Amarican
pudding. The speech of this gentlemen
was grotesque compound, including here a
danrgvric on Mr.. Fremont, and there a fling
at MIR. buchanan; here threat of whas
they would do in 1860. and there fcrociout
attack upon South Car Ina; here glimpse
at instructions tn the South, as if taken bv
an eve witness, and there an allusion to
bleeding Kansas here pensive retrospect
to days of Washington, and there dig ut
the heart cfMr. Brooks here lay of pro-
phecy and thee bit of warning.
During the delivery of this medley we
; were struck with the attitude and employ
ment of the different Senators; some sat

Almost every reader Of this paragraph in

Almost every reader Of this paragraph in our
City and vicinity, whether himself voter or not,
knows some careless Republican whom he could
induce to vote by personally visiting and urging him
to DO 90. The result Of our Election depends on
the number who shall do this. This City gave
l7,771 votes for Fremont last Fall, while at least
Three Thouiand Republicans were elbOwed away
from the polls or left waiting to vote when they
closed. Let every Republican faithfully do his
duty, and we can poll Twenty Thousand votes for
our State and Thirty thousand for our local tickets
to day. But if every one says 1t is Of no use, "
and some neglect to vote at all, while others con-
tent themselves with barely voting, we shall lose
everything here ard perhaps endanger the State,
owing to similar apathy in other quarters. Re-
publicaDs Of New. York the two courses ara be-
foe you: As you choose to act, so will be the re.
.ult.
For our own part we shall devote the day faith.
fully, earnestly to the canvass getting all the votes
we can for the Republican ticket, confident Of its
signal triumph. If disappointed in this hope, the
blame and the shame will rest on those who have
consulted their ease or their Incidence at the ex-
penae Of their duty.

The objection taken at Washington to the action
Of Walker in the case of the forged Kansas elect IN
returns IT, that he has exceeded his instructions
The law requires him to give election certificates to
these having the majority of legal votes. Are we
to conclude that his instructions direct him 10 give
certificates to the Pro-Slavery candidates at any
rate, no matter what frauds may be resorted to
to give them an apparent msjority'
1t is not likely thai the written instructions given
to Walker if indeed any were given, contained any
thing of the sort On the contrary the verbal sense
OF those instructions is undoubte lily consistent with
justice and impartiaEty. At the same time, how
ever, there probably was, if not secret under
standing between Walker and the Government, at
all events an expectation on the part Of the Govern
ment, Of which he could hardly fail to be aware,
that while Waller talked impartialty and justice,
yet by hook and by crook the Border, Rufiian as
tendency must be maintained. His having failed to
act fully up to this tacit understanding is what is
meant, We suppose, by bis having exceeded bis IN
structions.

FROM KANSAS.

From Lecompton, we have The National Dems
erSt of the 22d Oct. It stands by Gov. Walker
and denounces or ridicules the pretended {" Demo
cratic" meeting Of the ultra Pro Slavery faction to
demand his removal. 1t contains second Procls-
nation from Gov. Walker and Sec. Stanton reject
ing the pretended vote Of Mcahee County (Which
is returned as giving POP National Democrats"
to "a Free-State votes), as an inpudent and mia.
managed fraud. 1t appears that the return did nos
state Jor what the voters supported the several
candidates they voted for, 30 that it was morally
impossible to count these a. votes. There were
reasons enough besides, but this was conclusive.

We understand that the County Clerk has told
the Doll clerks that their duties end with the close
of the polls, and that they have nothing to do with
the canvassing of the votes. The law says; GAN
"the provisions Of law now applicable to 10
"spectors snail be made applicable to the powers,
"acts and duties Of the said district canvassers,
"and all other persons are prohibited from en-
"Qseing in and assisting in the canvass and estimate
"of tue votes, except the poll clerks of each district
"wtose duty it shall be to afford and render such
"services a. the district canvasrers shall require"
It is perfectly clear that the clerks may remain and
do all that the canvassers require; but if tho can.
vasssrs choose to do without them by requiring no
services they may stay or go at their own election

solved TO resist to the end. 1t was 50 when Mis-
souri, was admitted as Slave State. 1t was 90
when Texas was annexed, while in state Of revolt
against and war with Mexico, TO the slavehslding
end Of our Union. It was 90 when tho Missouri
Compromise was repudiated in the Nebraska bill
Since then, We have had the Dred Scott decision
and the denial By Buchanan & Co. Of any right in
the People Of Territory TO exclude Slavery until
they enter the Union as State. This hour, every
foot of our National area outside Of the expressly
Free States is Slave Soil, according to fancy and
Buchanan. Doushfases tell Us that this may be
wrong, but there is no help for it. Yes, thore is
bsIp for it. Vote down the tools of the Slave
Power in New York, as OHIO, INDIANA, ILLINOIS,
MINNESOTA and KANSAS have just voted then
down, and the sceptsr will be paralyzed in tho
hands Of the betrayers Of Freedom. In Free Re.
public, there can be no wrong that may not be
rishted by the persistent votes Of the People.
MEN OF NEw-YoRK the eyes Of the Nation are
upon you! You gave Eighty thousand majority
for Fremont last year; the Slave party boast Of
their ability to wipe this out to day. They do not
pretend that you have come over to them, nor
that they have done ythipg to render their prnci
pies less odious to you; but they say you were
" shreking for Freedom" and sympathiziOg with
bleeding Kansas" last year, and that this is all
over now, so that you care nothing for politics and
will not vote to-day. Show them their mistake by
your efforts and your ballots
REPUBLICANS! be true to your brethren, your
principles and your cause Parties may rise and
fall, but the Equal and Inalienable Rights Of Man
abide for ever. Founded on that rock, the
Republican flag must fly, though you should prove
unworthy to uphold it. Hours today have the
significance Of years; moments ofindolence, apathy
and sel6shne,s may require the atonement of
months Of effort, anxiety and sacrifice. Let your
Country and the world see that YOU are faithful to
Freedom, to Labor, to Justice and to Humanity
