to have them arrested and handed over to

The Result and it's Effects.

Last year the Democratic party of this State
through no lack of organization or address, but
on account of the popular odinm which attach.
ed TO them as endorsers of pro.Slavery Admin
istration, went into hopeless, powerless min
GRITTY
This year. their efforts to recover lost adhe.
rents proved futile. Small as was their vote
in 1866, it is smaller in 1857. They lose three
thousand in New York. They lose two thou
sand in Brooklyn. They lose several hundred
in Albany. They lose in Erie. They lose, in
fact, all over the State.
And yet this strange spectacle is presented
The minority so weak last year, and so much
with the Republicans, and perhaps absolutely
carried the State!
We do not believe that New York is one whit
less devoted to the policy of Freedom in the
Territories than she was last year, or one whit
more inclined to endorse the policy Of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Indeed the figures proveit Butthou-
sands who voted for Fremont last year, and
who now entertain the same political faith as
then, have been content with belief, instead OF
action. Thousands have neglected 10 vote,
some because they thought lone vote was not
needed" some because the hard times and bust
ness anxieties engrossed all their attention. and
some because they believed that fiction so indus
triously circulated by the Democratic Party, that
"this was mere State election, having no bear
ing on National Politics.
How false this pretsnce was, is now apparent
The same party who before declared the election,
had nothing to do with National Politics ARE now
haerding the result on the wings of the Teles
graph from Maine to Kansas, as an endorsement
of Mr.. Buchanan's Administration. Whether
it turns out to be a small Democratic majority,
OF reduced, Republican one it will be exulted
over in the White House, and on Southern Plan
tations, at Pembina and at Lecompton, new
immunity given to Fraud and Slavery:
git is not our province to be the of those
who, by their apathy, have suffered the election
to go by default. But il is our duty to point nut
the conseq uences. We here venture the pye.
dicion, that when Minnesota, Kansas and Or
eaOn come TO the doors of congress, next winter,
their admission as Free States will be resisted.
The result of the election in New York viii be
pointed to, AS proving that public opinion has
grown indifferent to Territorial Freedom, and
Compromises will be insisted upon, giving Sla-
very counter-baiancing advantages. This is
| she struggle before us now
| For ourselves, we enter again upon that strug-
gle with undated faith and hope. However
long, it cannot be doubtful. The right, in the
end, must triumph There is encouragement
in the reduced Democratic strength in this State.
There is still encouragement in the stand so no.
| bly, maintained by Massachusetts Iowa and
Ohio. And even the untowasd resufx here ~ III
not be without its advantages, for it will impress
upon the friends of Freedom in New York, that
lesson, so often learned, so oft forgotten, that
eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty

Those who wish to get their appropriations

their proper return to the Secretary of State

this case, not nigh.
We herewith copy letter from the Secretary

equally instructive for this. Remember, the re-
port must be made this month, and must recits
that you are organized in conformity with the
provisions Of the above act.
kThe!whole act, or law can be found on the l95th
page of the Farmer of 1856. Now gentleman,
don't blame us if yon fail to get the matter all
right this year.
Societies that have been kind enough to use
the farmer for premiums, we are willing to aid
in the matter what we can; and if they send
their papers TO our care in good season, we will
attend to them and guarantee success. P.

Nv by should ye weep for her, why should ye NORM
Angels have borne her away TO her home
Upward far ups ard to regions OF bliss,
Brighter aod fairer nd purer than this
Weep not that 10 early she faded away,
For flowers that farest the soonest decay
LONELY and sad the circle meets now,
They miss the pure light of her calm, holy brow;
Look upward, look heavenward, when from efar
Falls a radiance celestial from one Jsdaning stdr
Weep not that the farest Of earth fade away,
Or things We he'd dearest the soonest decay
"Anges are chanting requiem now,
Weaving a chaplet to deck her pure brow;
From that heaven OF love bright glory beams fall,
Brighter and fairer aud purer than all.
Weep not that she traversed the path of yon beam,
o gladly she'll greet the acrses the broad stream
aye may visit Che spot where ca lmiy she sleeps.
When spirits unseen their holy watch keep,
Though the cssket lies alene beneath the green sod
The jewels enshrined in the kingdom Of God
Weep not that she passed like beautiful dream,
