Forney has reason to reiolce and bsr.

Gates his feeling:
YESTERDAY.
Two years ago, about the same bou,;.
which we are now writing. the editor "
the Press, then the Chairman Of the Den
ocratic State COMMITTEES, set down to A.
dress the Democratic psrty of the Who'll.
country upon the election Of James r.
chanan to the Presidency, and to copor,,
ulate the people upon the triumph Of n.
great principle Of Popular Sovereign,T
without which Mr.. Buchanan could NJ,
have been elevated to that high position

same principle has been kept constautIv
in view by the editor Of this journal h,
intermediately, between then and now. thu
President of the United States has prs.
ferred to discard the great principle which
made him President, and we have been
thrown, by a series Of events familiar to
the people. into . hostile attitude to ri,
policy in this respect. Every effort which
has been made towards Cancellation and
federation has been haughtily refused. Ak
APPEAL WAS THEREFORE TAKEN TO rHE
PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA. And now wa
sit down, as we did in 1856, after the
October election, to chronicle the triunph
of the principle which elected James Bu.
chanan to the Presidency. But we deem.
ly regret to say that this time we are call.
ed upon to rejoice over the triumph Of tia
principle, and the defeat Of the man wbo
was elected upon it. At this writing, i,
looks as If almost every Congressional
Lecomptonite in Pennsylvania had been
defeated ! So much for those who have
preferred the patronage and favor Of the
President to the confidence of the people
Thus much for the Executive, who Ia.
chosen to turn his back upon the immor.
tai doctrine that the American people shall
control their own affairs in their own war.
and who has dared to erect. in every Dis.
trict in Pennsylvania, an official influence
at war with the fundamental principles Of
the Constitution. Thus much for the new
and startling idea that not the Federal
Union, but that "the President must and
shall be sustained" But this result is
not only attributable to the uprisin; Of
the people against the betrayal of their
Representatives and the gross desertiOn Of
the popular principle by the Chief Magis-
trate Of the Republic but it is, at thu
same time. tribute to Pennsylvania feel
ing. and to that idea which is cherished
by all our people-that of protection to
American industry.
The Pennsylvania Buchanan's organ)
says of the overwhelming defeat Of the
Democracy:
The causes which produced this result
we have not time to indicate at present.
They are mostly local. Some Of them
we fear are fraught with evil for the future
As to the general issues. that Of change
in the Tariff was the most potential in the
hands of the inscriptions demagogues
who headed the Peoples movement.

Hon. Marcus j. PARROT spoke at Fort
Scott on Monday, the 18th ult., on the
subject of the New York Indian Lands.
These lands embrace one Of the best por-
tons of Bourbon County. The Tribes
to which they belong. have dwindled
down to eight families. numbering but
thirty souls, all told. A bill is pending
in Congress providing for the extinguish,
ment Of the Indian title, and the applica-
ton of prescription laws. Mr.. PARROT
expressed the belief that the bill will be-
come law at the next session. T-T
1.-The Fort Scott Democrat says
He also branchsd of into some of the
political topics Of the day. He said he
would oppose the Leayenworth Constitu-
ton, if presented to Congress. He de-
nounced the doctrine of negro equality
and negro-suferage, and advocated Con-
stitution which will exclude free negroes.
He opposed the organization of the Re-
publican party.
MIR. PARROT is a very good speakeea and
seems to be fayorite with his party.

The NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..
The election on Tuesday indicates that
the Opposition viii have a majority in
the next House of Representatives. The
Administration had. as originally elected.
a majority Of twenty-five in the present
House over Republicans and Americans.
The Administration gained one in Mis-
souri-ifthe next House is not so strongly
Opposition as to give Blair his seat. In
Maine the Administration expected to
gain at least two members, but was dis
appointed. In Maine it held its own,
which was nothing. On Tuesday it lost
at least twelve members. Now, if the
Opposition are not too much divided in
New York, the nsxt House will unques-
tionably be against the Administration.

FaEDERIcK GLEAsox. Eso.-An ex-
change saws of this gentleman

change says of this gentleman
Commodore Gleason, late Of Gleascn's
Pictorial) is now after a few years rest
ashore. about to launch the finest literary
craft that ever issued from this or any
other port. His officers and crew who
are to sail under his colors. are all picked
men, selected from the best that navigate
the sea Of English literature.
This win be delightful news to literary
pubic, with whom Gleason is q particu-
lar favorite. He was the Prince Of Lite
rary Newspaper Publishers, and exhibited
an energy and hberality never surpassed.
Some years since, he established The Flag
of Our Union newspaper, and literary
publishing house. in Boston. The Flag,
under his control, attained an unexampled
circulation and popularity, and was read
by tens of thousands in all sections of the
Union. Mr.. Gleason literally encouraged
American authors, and brought into no.
tice some of the best novelists of the day.
We believe the popular novelist, sylvia
nus Cobb, Jr., first won a name in the
columns of the Flag, Ned Buntline also
gained much of his literary reputation
through the same channel. The writers
known as Fred. Hunter, Lieutenant MUIR
ray. and others writing under nonme
de plumes-Dr. j. H. Robinson. Emma
Cara, and score OF fine writers, all owe
their high literary standing to the liberal
ity of Mr.. Gleason. Some seven years
since, he established Gleason's Pictorial,
which attained an immense popularity.
Liberality and desire to interest, instruct
and accommodate the public, were his
leading characteristics. He amassed an
independent fortune by this course, and a
few years since retired to private life. hsv-
ing sold his establishment to Maturin M.
Ballou. who still carries on the publics-
cations. We believe they still enjoy con-
siderable popularity, but>we do not think
they are in the prosperous condition in
which Mr.. Gleason left them. That lib
erality is wanting in the publisher. Mr..
BalIou exhibits spirits of too much pc
ENTHUSIASTICALLY wanting to get rich
too fast His brethren of the pRss do
not meet with that courtesy from him.
which they received at the hands of Mr..
Gleason. He seems to consider the coun-
try press only as an instrument to further
his interests, and his motto plainly is :
eff 1 can make anything by courtesy to-
wards country paper, l will grant it if
not, have no use for it." We believe
we would be safe in saying that he pur-
sues the same course towards authors-at
any rate, capital writers who were kept
exclusively in Mr.. Gleason's employ, are
now contributing to various journals
throughout the country, from which they
no doubt receive better pay than from Mr..
Ballou. If Gleason again sets aAoat a
literary craft, the name Of its commander
alone will speedily build up for it an i'm
mense patronage, and draw around him a
het of literary stars, which will enable
him to defy competition. ..'i'' a.

re- The Democratic papers are pub
fishing a letter of Gov. Denver to the
New York Tribune, which is mainly a
defence Of President Buchanan, and a
series of charges against the Free State
people Of Kansas. These papers think
that the Governor has played particular
"hob," and they falsely assert that the
Tribune refused to publish the letter, up
on which it was sent to the Journal of
Commerce. The Tribune did publish
the letter, and replied to it at length; and
a careful perusal of both the letter and
the reply, will convince any one that the
Tribune completely uses Mr.. ]. w. Den

attempt to handle edge-tOols again in a

SOME TooTH.-Rev. D. A. Murdoch,
of Doniphan. in this County, has in his
possession fragment Of tooth. weigh
ing three pounds and three quarters Its
present length is seven inches and half
1t was much longer. at one time. 1t is
supposed to be the fragment of a tooth
weighing about eight pounds.
Mr.. Murdoch obtained this tooth from
the Otoe Indians. among whom he was
until recently stationed as Missionary.
by the Presbyterian Church. From them
he learned that the tooth had been found
on Platte River, but the locality could
never be ascertained from them. They
made statements Of the existence Of large
bones at the same place. All attempts
to induce them to reveal the precise To-
cality of these bones, have thus far prov
en- unsuccessful. It is to be hoped, how
ever, that they may be prevailed upon to
reveal the secret to some one. who will
yet dig them up for the world to look at.
