E The "Republican Jubilee" over the
defeat of BURNS, and the success Of the
Republicans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana and Iowa, held in Millersburg, on the
evening of the 10th, did not go off to
please our neigl,bor of the Farmer. We
are very sorry that he could see nothing in
it to approve of. He styles tia "6ig drunk"
and INDUCES in some other very silly false
hoods in regard to it. We can assure our
neighbor that it was not gotten up to
please either him or some others Of his par
ty who showed their teeth at it, and that
if he and they do not hereafter like to look
upon such things they can turn their faces
in another direction. The day has gone
by in Millersburg, when the "Jig talk" of
certain members Of that party, excites any
fear but in the minds Of children. The Re
publicans had perfect right to have q
"Jubilee," !" if they willed, and the opposite
party, with one or two exceptions, showed
their good sense, by doing nothing to in
'errupt the good feeling that prevailed on
lhat occasion. What drunkenness we saw
on The occasion,- land it was very little
was as chargeable upon the Democracy as
upon their opponents.

Great Triumph for the Demo-

the Administration has triumphed in one

dates to Congress. That State is South
Carolina. The Enquirer says: @ Z 81

msn, all democrats, have Of course, been
re elected to Congress, as there was no reg
ular opposition to either of them:
John McQneen, w. Porcher Miller, Law

w. Royce.
The Hon. James L. Orr, who represen-
ted the Fifth District, declined to be can
didate for reelection. He is succeeded by
Jno. d. Ashmore, Democrat" '
We believe these men are all sound on
the Slavery question. They will vote
against any man who favors the
extension Of Freedom and the limitation of
Slavery. They all think the Jeffersonian
prohibition Of Slavery into the Territories
is little less than treason. ' "'

Ohio Waking up!

We are glad to learn, MS we do from the
letter from an intelligent and reliably Ma
tional Democrat, which is published in an
other column, that the friends of the Ad-
ministration in Northern Ohio are at last
aroused to a sense of duty, and are about
TO take active measures TO redeem the State
from the demonstrations Ct Douglasism.-
Under the delusive hope that the Plain
Dealer junto could be forced into decency,
they have waited too long: but now that
their eyes are fully opened, so that the true
state Of things can be seen, they are about
to establish press that shall give the Ad-
ministration an efficient and cordial sup
port. Our best wishes are with them and
for them. Let there be no backing out.
The following extract is fair specimen
of the Cleveland letter referred to by the
Herald: f3'-'1 sai
Our election is over, and you, no doubt
know the result. We had a spiritless time
in our district, and no doubt but the re-
mainder of the State felt as was did. Our
particular trouble was that we had no can
didate for Congress, unless by powerful
enlargement of the imagination, one ]. w.
Gray could be regarded as such. One of
the smallest tricks that set of men could
well be guilty Of, was perpetrated a few
weeks ago, in the shape of SD called Con-
gressional Conventions; half dozen men,
without authority, got together and nom-
mated the editor of the Plain Dealer for
Congress. The whole thing was so su-
premely absurd, that no man in his right
mind has regarded such proceedings with a
decent respect. The secret of so mean
transaction is simply this: the faint light
which Mr.. Gray had shed upon the Demo-
cracy has expired; it flickered, flashed, and
ultimately failed; he has long career, al
ternately endeavoring to turn the party
over to the Abolitionists, then to hold il
steady; next to divide it into parties to
suit his will; his last effort has been to
Douglasize the whole West-a task too
Herculean for his Liliputian brain-and
the unfortunate man has been overthrown
in his reason, per consequence. He was
Postmaster anu said good things for the
President, until be lost his head and his
senses; then, like weatherceck, he pours
hot shot into the Administration; but so
Intellectual are his pellets, that scarce any
one knows that he has aimed his blunder-
buss in that direction; he has such poor
eyesight that it is dangerous for him to
handle such weapons. aiHi+

ACCIDENT TO Mr.. REIs-GALLAT Con-
DUCT OF CAPT. RUMMAGE-We find the
following in the London Express ofa late
date:
1t was stated few days ago in the En-
press that an American vessel, the Harvest,
had arrived at Cowes, with cargo of car
pet brooms walking sticks, fancy American
woods, consisting of birds eye maple, red
cedar, and walnut tree. The woods are
for veneering. The Harvest plies on the
North American lakes, and is queer
looking craft. She is about 100 feet long
and 20 feet beam, is schooner-rigged and
her sails are white cotton. She left Lake
Erie for England on the 4th Of August,
Quebec on the 2lst, and reached Cowes on
The 9th instant. Her owner came over
rom America to England in the Ariel,
~s,'ch Teat went ashore opposite Cowes on the
loth UT. tie had no idea that the Har-
Vest harvest had arrived at Cowes, but just
as ne learned the fact on board the Ariel he
broke his leg, and was obliged to be taken
to Southampton Infrmary. A great ma.
ny of the North American lake sbins now
cross tho Atlantic, and prove admirable
sailors.
Capt. Rummage, the commander of the
Harvest, gallantly jumped off the Foun-
tain Quay, at Cowes, last week, and saved
a hotelkeepers child from bsinQ drowned.

The, papers have given an account Of the
shooting of a desperado named Le Bleu,
IN the parish of Calcassieu, few days ago,
but New Orleans correspondent of the
ST. Louis Repu6Aeangires soms private
particulars which add materially to the I'M
terest of the affair. 1t appears that from
early manhood he had been in tine habit of
setting the laws at defiance whenever they
confcted with his own passions or desires,
and often did so out ofpure wantonness or
to crafty the deviisl, spirit which must
have been strong within him. SOme time
ago he murdered two lawyers in the streets
Of Lake Charles; and on one occasion he
compelled one of his negroes to seat hln-
self by the side of the District Judge while
the court was in session; IN fact the deeds
of violence, and his utter recklessness and
lawlessness, had made him terror to the
whole parish, and he, no doubt, had come
to think that the laws were powerles against
him, and that he could comm t anv crime
with impunity. As to the circumstances
which were the immediate cause OF his
death, they show him to be something of

man named Fox, living in the parish,

summary manner to CRAFTY his passion

Madame that his horse would carry dou-

or not is a question, but she certainly went
with him, and they lived together up to the
time of bis death. During the recent term
of the District Court in Lake Charles, a

From the returns received by the ST. Paul

Republicans of Minnesota have elected a

How the News is Received in
Washington. . v

"THE ELECTIONS AND THEIR LESSON
By this time the defeat of the Democracy
has been telegraphed all over the Union.
By this time the Republic knows that
Pennsylvania, that elected the Democratic
President, has given that President Ad-
ministration the severest rebuke, visiting it
witha denunciation enough to chill the am
bition of any future Cabinet that attempts
to strengthen itself more by force than
faith, more by the fear of its officials than
the love Of the people, more by introduc-
ing new issues and making proscriptive
tests against those who do not support
them, than by generous Democratic princi-
pies. 49,. 49,.
awhile the result is to be deeply de-
plored, there is no use attempting to smoth-
er the facts which produced it. The un-
fortunate causes will not be kept down
The proscriptive tests based upon the is
sue of Lecomptonism, rise in judgment
against the Administration and when they
take such shapes as Pennsylvania conjwes
them up in they are desperately effective,
and mark political epochs of momentous
import.
"One of the most remarkable features
Of effect produced in this city yesterday
by the news, was, that while the defeat of
the administration was the chief topic of
conversation and comment on the street
corners, and in saloons and hotel lobbies,
we did not hear one single voice raised IN
palliations Of tie causes, or in deauncia-
ton of the result. When we think that
it is Democratic Administration that suf-
fers this defeat-a defeat not only spring
ing from political routine, but extending to
private and Conscientious people who cheer
ed its event-it is humiliating to contem-
plate. 1t is huniliating, however necessa-
sary the ordeal. 1t proves that, after an
experiment of eightytwo years of the in
dividual sovereign system, the American
Republic is satisfied with its own Demo
cracy, and utterly and manfuly opposed
to the introduction among us of those i'm
perial and monarchical proscriptive tests
and personal distinctions which, outside of
our our country, send noble heads to the
block, and noble heads to penal servitude.
