to be yet matter OF some doubt. The chan

The WeSs.

M part of the country has suffered
SO much, during the long continued
commercial arrangements with which
the nation has been afflicted, rs the
West. Her movements, of late years,
have been too rapid. Not satisfied
with 4 steady growth, nor with even
extraordinary prosperity, she has plum
ged into reckless speculations in wild
lands, city lots, railroad stocks aud
bonds-everything which promised a
short cut to fortune. No part of the
country has more real enterprise than
the West, and none which can present
80 many tempting incidents to labor
With lands by millions upon millions
of acres, the richest, perhaps, in the
world, no man who exerts himself need
fear OF having "enough and to spare -
We wonder not, therefore, at the rapid
recovery in that section from late troub-
les. 1t will require yet more time to
bring things all right again, but that
they will come right speedily, is now
certain. Light is already dawning.-
Our merchants report, of late, better
collections from that quarter, and also
a better business. Thousands of good
men are embarrassed more or less, but
with courage, cheerfi,lness, and retren-
chment OF expenses, they will find land
not far ahead. We would say to west
ern merchants at this critical time,
shoao your pluck, your backbone
Your Eastern creditors want to hear no
more whining or complaints Of bad
weather, short crops, or scarcity OF
money. They want to knoy that you
have your shoulder at the ,oheel, and
that there you intend to keep it, until
you are once again in comfortable
circumstances. A single word more
If you have paper under protest, get it
up ifpossible, or make the attempt to do
so, before you sleep another night
lfyou can't pay all, pay a part; and il
you can't pay dime to day, but have
reasonable prospect that You can pay
soon, renew your notes, Keep them aliye
and pay as fast as you can. Wake up
and contribute yoar share to hasten
that "new era of prosperity" now so

THE UNITED STATES SENATE


BY the late ele tons we gain three United
States Senator'S -one each in New Jersey,
Michigan aud Minnesota. All to be elected
this winter. In addition to these, two others
have been elected to take their seats in the
next Congress, who succeed Democratic MEM
bers.-Arthony in Rhode Island and Grimes
in Iowa. This will raise the number of Re-
publican members TO Is. Besides, the coming
session Of the Indiana Legislature will elect
Republican Senator'S TO the seats of B. light and
Fitch, who occupy their places in defiance of
law, because there are none to contest them.
The march to majority in that body is steady
and sure. We gain at every election, and lose
none. A little while since we had 2; now
p; before tie next Congress meets there will
be 25-possibly 81. We r"collect the late in
dignity OF exclusion from committees. thus
is it rebuked. When Sumner resumes his va
cant char, how changed will be the complex
ion of that body since the day he was struck
down by the bIudgeon of the ASA SSH! Cour-
age! frie.,ds Of Freedom aud the good old
policy.-[Gate City.

Indian hostilIties have broked ont again at
Spirit Lake. in the northern part Of This State.
Intelligence has reached Gov. Low, by special
messenger, that the Indians are collecting in
large numbers and that they are bold, insolent
and defiant. Miss Gardner, who was taken
captive by them in 1857 recognises them as be-
longing to Inkpaduca'a band. The Governor
has ordered Capt. Martin, Of the Frontier
Guards, to march with his Company, 50 men,
TO the scene Of danger, requiring him to act
with prudence towards the Indians, but tn no.
tify oil, whether hostile or friendly, to leave
the State. The General Government having
afforded no protection, it is the duty Of the
Governor, under law Of the last Legislature,
to do so.

How Il Democratic Journal
TAX es the Pennsylvania Election

The Chambersburgh Valley Spirit,
one ofthe most ultra Democratic organs
in the keystone State, referring to the
late election, says:
When we are in for beating, we
like just such a one as we got last
week. We were not tortured for days
with conflicting reports as to the result.
Our hopes were not raised at first, only
to be disappointed at last. We were
not barbarously cut in pieces by slow
degrees. Like the Hindoos who were
blown away from guns by the British
in India, one tremendous explosion put
an end to our agony.
We can't tell exactly how much we
are beaten on the State ticket. We
have paid very little attention to the
returns. Our opponents having got
the victory, we will leave them the
trouble of adding up the figures. We
never had much taste for vulgar frac-
tions, and the fractional returns we
have OF the State election are about the
vulgarest we ever saw.
Before the election, we heard many
of our friends express the opinion that
thrashing would do orr party good.
IT they were right, IN immense amount
of good has been done us, for we have
been tremendously thrashe,i. We sup
pose it is our duty to be thankful, in
this view ofthe matter, but we fear we
shall come short Of our duty"

a diversity Of opinion. Our own impression
is. that the cause Of Repnbiicanism and Free
Labor would he stronger now in'Tllinois. If the
same course had been pursued there that was
pursued under precisely the same circumstan-
ces, in Pennsylvania and other States. As
the case now stands, whether Mr.. Douglas is
returned to the Senate this winter or not. he is
a living power and The only one in the North
around which the Democratic party can rally,
and will no doubt be used as nucleus around
which to gather the scattered fragments of an
organization, otherwise 30 broken up and dis
heartened, as to be beyond the possibility of
resurrection. This seems. Just now, to be the
aspect Of the question. The developments at
Washington this winter may change it materi-
ally,
