Eg We make the following extract
from the Dubuque tlowa) Express d Her
aid, rabd Democratic paper. 1t tells
its own story:
THE LATE STATE ELECTIoNs:-The
returns, as reported by telegraph, of the
election in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi-
ana. show that the mad course Of the Ad-
ministration, on its Lecompton policy, has
met with merited condemnation at the
hands of the people.
1t has been humiiiatinP to every lover
of true principles, and Democratic doc
trines, to see an Administration, which
was elected upon those principles ana
pledged to support them, turn traitor, both
to tire principles and the party which
elected it to power. 1t was hard to wit
ness this, and yet this is the light in
which the mass of the people now regard
the Administration, and in the late cleo
tons the popular seal of condemnation
has been placed upon its policy.
1t is plain to every observer that the
Administration and its especial organs are
solely to blame for the defeat which the
Democratic party has suffered now, in the
great States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana. The Washington Uniom itself
has done more to ALLEVIATE from the sup
port of the Administration and to disgust
the freemen of the Northern States, than
all the abolition howlers Of the entire
North could possibly do. Its anti-Demo-
cratic teachings of last November, its
apologies for fraud and villainy in neigh
boring Territory, its communications of
every one who did not fall down and wor-
ship the idols which it set up, its attacks
upon State Sovereignty, and its devotion
and subscrvieucy to a miserable faction of
southern fire eaters, while, all the time 1t
proclaimed itself the speciat organ Of the
Administration, have gone far to destroy
all confidence in that Administration.
The consequence is, that on an appeal to
the ballot box, the people have declared
that they prefer the ascendency of section
al Republicanism, rather than such doc
trines as have been maintained by the
Administration and its organs.
We do not regard the result, however,
as a real defeat of the Democratic party.
1t is only popular condemnation Of Lee
comptonism.
Democratic principles are still dear to
the hearts of the people, and it is because
they love consistency and Democracy, that
they have thus recorded their verdict
against an Administration which has, in
their opinion, departed from both.
Let the Administration return to the
principles enunciated in the Cincinnati
Platform, and the Nebraska Bill, and cease
to prescribe and persccute Democrats, and
the people will again sustain it.

Dag~ In the Warren Ledger, of the Sd

well-deserved compliment to our fellow
citizen and Member of Assembly:
THE EAKERsHIP.-Although the
Republicans have majority in the House
of Representatives-and fairly speaking
il is none of our business would sug-
gest the name of LEWIS MANN Esq, of
Potter county as fit person for Speaker,
Mr.. Mann is a new member, but Is a
thorough parlamentarlan and understands
the duties of presiding officer, and We
doubt not would excel in that position IN
the next House.
Such compliments come with good grace
from a political opponent, and honor alike
the recipient and the one who gives them.
There are numerous candidates in the
field who are old members Of the House,
which renders the selection of Mr. lann
for Speaker very Improbable; but there is
no man named thus far, who, in our opin-
ion, is mere capable (aside from the fact

A District School not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills, one Winters day
Was hummin9 with its wonted noise
OF three-score mingled girls and boys
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent;
And while the Masters downward look
Was fastened on a cOpy-bOok-
When suddenly, behind his back,
Rose sharp and clear rousing smack
AS 'twere a battery of bliss
Let of in one tremendous kiss
What's that?' the startled Master cries:
THAT. thur Il littlc imp replies,
Wath William Willth, il YOU plelthe
i thaw him kith Thuthanuah Pcathe J.
With frown to make a statue thrill,
The Master thundered, 'Hither Will"
Like wretch oertaken in his track,
With stolen cnattels on his back,
Will hung bis head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presen' came
a great, green bashful simplcton,
The butt OF ali good -naturtd fun
With smile suppressed, and birch upraised
The thrcatener taltered-"Tm amazed
Thst you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty OF an act SO rude;
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius pHt YOU to't?"
"'TwaS she, herself, sir" sobbed thela 4,
I. | didn't mean TO be so bad
But when Susannah shook her curls,
And whispered was trlid Of girls,
And darsu't kiss Il baby's doll,
| couldn't stand it, sir, at all,
Bat up and kissed her on the spo!

But somehow, from her looks-h5o hoo,

RUN AND MURDER-There is now on
trial at R0chestera young man from Hone
.oye Falls, for the murder ofan officer who
attempted to arrest him. 1t was a fear
ful crime. and aggravated by many con
siderations, but there is good reason to
suppose that it had its origin in whisky.
The criminal was intoxicated at the time
he committed the murder, and had been
intoxicated for months What the jury
will do with the case is uncertain; they
may consign Manly Locke to the gallows,
aud ne may deserve his fate, but all who
know the facts, must know that he Is not
the first nor the principal offender. The
idrunkard makers of Honeoye Falls are
the real murderers Of Starr. They mad
dened the brain, and neryed the arm of
him who made the fatal thrust. Every
groc-seller in that village should be tried
for his life and if found guilty Of convert
ing an innocent young man into murder
er, should Share the murderers doom.
/ They are principals Locke is only IAN
employee These rum-murders are OF
constant occurrence all over the country.
1t is but a few days since, in this city a
man by The name of Swift was stabbed to

United the murder is plain enough. Our
grog-scllers are the murderers. The fool
