ps- In another column we give the Of
fetal election returns of this county, By
which it will be seen that though the
vote was small-Something over 800 rot-
ers neglected their sovereignty on that
day-the Republicans gave Mr.. Hale
the largest majority ever given in the
county for Congressman, and that the
State ticket was handsomely advanced on
the majorities of 1856. In all but one
instance the county ticket is nobIy main

however, being better than we looked for
under the circumstances. But We con-
fess to some surprise at the result for
County Treasurar. We regret that so
many Republicans have exhibited q de-
sire to strike down so worthy man az
Mr.. Rees,-pariicularly when his oppo-
nent was the undiSguised tool of the Lc-
com ptonites, and having in view the dis
organization of our party. We are, how
ever, glad to see alargo number Of them
nearly all-conyinced of their error, and
evidercing regret for the self-imposed
chagrin at their position. We have no
doubt that Mr. Clark feels very disagree
able over the position he has placed him
self in, and we have no desire to strike
fallen foo If he can find any comfort in
his late a&llatiun against the Republican
sentiment of Potter county, he is, so far
as we are concerned, welcome to the hon
ors and profits. We hope, however, that
others will take warning by his fate;
while at the same time we trust the Re-
publicans of Potter county will also be
warned by the danger they have just e5-
caped-that they will not again put their
fingers in the fire so we'll calculated to
burn them. TO those Republicans who
manfully stood by their party integrity
in all respects, all honor and praise is
due, and they have their reward in their
own hearts.

pronounced, in regard to his adininistra,

unanimous.
Henceforth the character of American
politics is changed. Another power takes
possession of the Legislation of the federal
government, and will hold it hereafter.
The clement of public opinion, which has
so long struggled with the ascendaucy of
a powerful local institution, is at length
triumphant; the local influence is defeat

Damaging disclosure.

The Hon T. p Stanton, Secretary of
Kansas under Gov. Walker, in late
speech at Lawrence made the following
statement:
+ He Mr.. Stauton) came to Kansas in
81, believing it to be the intention of Nh
Buchanan to deal fairly with with the peo-
pie. Had not this been his opinion, he
would never have accepted the position Of
Secretary, nor Walker that of Governor
of the Territory Justice demanded the
admission that he still believed the inten-
tion of the Administration to have been
good. Its present line of policy was an
after thought Until the mouth of Sep
tember he and Gov. Walker were sustain
ed throughout by the Administration.
lie would mention one circumstance which
was not generally known, as showing this
concluslvely.
On the lst of September, Gen. Whit
field and Dr. Tehbs of Kansas, who were
then ii Washington, signed letter ex
" "pressly seR}ing that thteEo~.s- ,,,ov.

mrjttcn at the special request IF .Fr. BIZ
chanan, who was anxious to shield HIM
self from the assaults then being made
upon him By the South. Through llr.
Buchanan's agency, the letter was sent to
the Union office, and was actually in type,
accompanied by editorial comments in
dorslng the character of DR.. Tebbs as a
|" gentleman Of uuimpeachabic veracity,"
when it was seen in proof by Southern
member of the Cabinet, who ordered its
suppression. From that day to h,s the
course of the Administration toward Kan

interest in regard to the election. From
the figures below and others before US of
a reliable character We make Halls ma
jority 1871:
"Ne have a letter from Warren. Pa,
dated Friday, 18th inst, which leaves no
room for doubt that Chaplin Hall, Repub-
lican, is elected to Congress from the
XXIFth District, running out James i.
ellis, Lecompton Dem. This letter gives
the official vote Of Warren County--Hall
1865, Gillis 969-Hall's majority 1856,
or II more than we made it this morning.
1t also states that Venango has given
Hall 400 majority, which settles the
question, even though it should be mis-
taken in its report that Elk (Giilis's own
county, has given Hall so majority in
stead of 40 for Gillis, as was reported
via Pittsburg. Suffice it that Chapln
Hall is elected, so that but two Lecomp-
ton men (Florence aud Dimmick) 60

istration-Schwartz of Berks and
Montgomery of Washington. These two
