Trying to Explain the Result in Kansas

For some days after it was known
that the English swindle had been
ANONYMOUSLY voted down in Kansas,
the Washington Union maintained a
gloomy silence. Then it admitted the
fact, but lamely attempted to account
for it by. assuming that the people of
Kansas preferred to remain in Ter
ritorial condition thatwas the ground
of their opposition to the English swim
die. The Union is now further con-
firmed in this conclusion by the state
ment of a Lecompton correspondent
that ain nearly all the pro-slavery
strongholds, as far as heard from, the
vote against the proposition has been
nearly as heavy In proportion as at
other places" This Lecompton gen
tleman evidently bad not heard from
Oxford precinct, where the pro-slavery
vote of nearly eighteen hundred at the
October election had dwindled down
to thirteen, on the Lecompton issue,
and the whole vote was only twenty
nine; nor from Shawnee, where the
Calhoun majority was eight hundred,
and where only eighty are recorded
against Lecompton. The government
organ will make nothing by attempting
to slur over this great mortality among
the Kansas Democracy. In fact. con-
sidering how faithfully the deceased
labored for the Administration under
the inspection of Calhoun, this denial
of their existence exhibits a spirit of
therankest ingratitude.- Chicago Press
and Tribune.

We should like to have some journal

been accomplished by the great show
and buster made by the Administra-
ton, in reference to the reformation,
removal or punishment of Brigham

How the Ticket is Received.

We can but rejoice at the unanmity
of feeling manifested on the part of
the Republican press throughout the
State, in the support of the State ticket.
Never was ticket more cordially re-
ceived, or more warmly Supported by
the press, and by the party in general,
than the one now in nomination, and
before the people of Michigan for their
suffrages. Such a feeling is indicative
of entire satisfaction, speaks we'll for
the ability of the candidates, and omi-
nous of a favorable result. ."}
There is no great secret in the entire
satisfaction which prevails in regard to
this ticket. Haoas fairly and honestly
nominated by large and satisfactory
convention = one whom the people
themselves had selected. The ticket
was selected with caution, with an eye
to satisfy all sections, and from among
the most noble champions of liberty in
the State. The undoubted qualifca-
tons of the candidates, their high stand
ing as regards honesty and integrity,
and their unwonted devotion to the
cause of human freedom also accounts
for the cordial reception they meet
at the hands of the people. The Re-
publicans are getting fairly walked up,
and they but wait the result of the
Democratic State Convention which
meets in Detroit to-day, before COM
the active work of the cam
paign. They want to see what kind of
timber they have got to oppose. We
say work, work every man of you, until
November next, and we shall have a
larger majority than was ever obtained
before by any party in the State. 66aaI

THE RATE OF TELEGRAPHrNG oyF

THE RATE OF TELEGRAPHrNG OVER
THE CABLE.-The New York Tribune
says that the instruments now in use at
Trinity Bay and Valentino records
words at the rate Of t,co per minute, or
100 per hour. Improvements will
doubtless be made upon this, but at
this rate the cable can transmit more
than $500 words per day. This is slow
work compared with the speed of land
lines, yet it will, according to the Tri-
bune, give the company net income
OF twenty per cent. on their capital. q

How Pitiable.

For the bold and defiant stand. saw.
the Toledo Blade, which Mr.. Dougla.
took in opposition to the Lecomptor
policy of the Administration-for his
vote against the proposition, and his
aid IN securing the rejection of the
Lecompton Constitution, we have ever
felt disposed to award him full credit.
Regardless of the motives which in
f1uenced him, the action was promotive
of the cause of right. We never, how
ever, had any faith in the honesty of
purpose which induced this opposition.
We did not believe that there was any
principle involved in it, except that of
the advancement of the political in
terests of Stephen A. Douglas. He
had but one point in view-but one OBJ
ject for which he was laboring. The
point on which his eye was fixed was
the White House, and the object was
to become the master thereof. To Sc
cure this end he would sacrifice all the
views he ever entertained upon politi-
cal questions-throw consistency to
the dogs, and play deceiver to any in
terest. He has, in his Illinois speeches,
boldly declared, in regard to the Kansas
question, that he did not care whether
she was admitted with slave or free
constitution-his heart possessed no
feelings in common with the cause of
freedom, 1t only beat responsive to his
aspirations for the Presiden-.
cy. 1t has been claimed that Mr..
Douglas would have gone over at once
to the support of the English PROPOSE
ton had it not been for the timely ar
rival of Mr.. Forney at Washington
and the urgent protestations of he and
Senator Broderick. This charge Judge
Douglas has not as yet denied, nor do
we believe that he will The question
as to its truth was put to him some
days ago by the Chicago Press and
Tribune, but he does not reply. As
an evinence that he was DESTROYS of
his opposition at the time al
uded to, We publish the following from
he Washington Union eap
C To do him justice, he is not so un-
wise as to have PERSISTED in these at
;acks upon the Administration, if left
@ his own Judgment. 1t is generally
here, and zoe haye no doubt of

Let it not be forgotten; that the Dem
ocratic party has outlived all the oppo,

which from time to time has been array
ed against it. It is the only political
party worthy and deserving the conf
dence of the people, for it labors with
them in developing the greatness, glory
and welfare of u common country.
Let it not be forgotten, that through
Democratic principles and Democratic
policy alone has our country arrived to
that distinction which commands the re-
spect Of the nations of the world.
Let it lot be forgotten, that however
much politicians of the position may
croak and shout themselves hoarse about
the proslaveryism of the Democracy, it is
VIGOROUSLY true that every one of the
nineteen new free States that have been
admitted into the Union, were admitted
by a Democratic Congress; California
was admitted by a democratic Congress,
although the opposition had the Prcsi-
dcncy. Neither should it be forgotten
that not a solitary new state has been
admitted into the Union by an opposi-
ton Congress.
