The Press on the Election.

Forney's Press says: SAT this wri.
ting, it looks as if almost every Con
gressiOnal Lecomptonite in Pennsylva-
MIA had been defeated So much for
those who have preferred the patronage
and favor of the President to the conf
dence of the people. Thus much for
the Executive, who has chosen 10 turn
his back upon the immortal doctrine that
the American people shall control their
own affairs in their own way, and who
has dared to erect, in every district in
Pennsylvania, an official influence at
war with the fundamental principles OF
the Constitution. That much for the
new and startling idea that not the Fed
eral Union, but that the President must
and shall be sustained But this result
is not only attributable to the uprising
of the people against the betrayal of their
Representatives and the gross desertion
of the popular principle by the Chief
Magistrate of the Republic; but it is. at
the same time, a tribute to Pennsylvania
feeling, and to that idea which is cher.
ished by all our people-that of protec-
ton to American industry"
The New York Tribune says:
"Let US not mis- estate nor overstate
this triumph. The Republicans have
contributed nobly to it, but they have
not alone achieved it. The great body
of the Americans have heartily CO ope
rated with them, aud the elaborate at
tempts to draw off votes on ''Straight
American tickets in Philadelphia have
had little effect. The union for Free
Territory, Pure Elections and Protection
10 Home Industry, was too hearty and
solid TO be shaken by the tricks of dem.
agogues bought and owned by the com
mon adversary.
But the Republicans and Americans
united could not have won SO sweeping
a victory without the powerful aid OF the
Douglas Democracy. These faithful
devotees of the doctrines of Popular Sow
ereignty, organized and led by John w.
Forney, had resolved TO punish the
~recreants who devised and urged on the
Lecompton fraud, and they have done it
e~fectually. Buchanan is routed in his
own State, and Federal subserviency to
Slavery Propagandism has received a
blow from which it will not soon recover.

Gas.
Messfs. Thomas Harvey d Co., Of
Wooster, O., have made application to
the Town Council 10 pass an Ordinance
giving 10 them monopoly of supplyingth
Town with gas for a term of years. If
the Ordinance is passed, they will then
call upon the citizens to subscribe to the
stock of a Gas Company, to be organ
lied. We learn that the plan is to fix
the amount of.Capital Stock at S25 1000,
ten thousand 10 be taken by the citizens
OF the town, and the remainder of the
stock to belong to Messrs. Harvey & Co.,
when the Gas Works shall be complet-
ed.
We are not very ardent admirers of
this system of getting upstock, and should
think that a much better plan would be
for the citizens to subscribe all the stock
necessary to erect Gas Works, and then
own and manage the works themselves.
Nevertheless, if the first is the only
plan by which gas light can be had, it
is better TO have it on those terms than
not at all.

latest from utah.

The latest news from Utah is to the effect
that Gov. Cummins and suite had attemp-
ted to enter. Salt Lake City but were driven
back by the Mormons and forced to retreat
to Fort Bridger. 1t is the opinion of Gen.
Harney that the Aormons don't intend to
s.giye it up SO" but will fight to the last.
Col. johnson had been expected to march
upon Salt Lake City on the 3olh May, but
at that date he was still in camp at Fort
Bridger, and nearly out of provisions.
Nothing new or important in regard to
the forces of the Saints, or the probable fu-
ture movements of the army.
LArER-Since writing the above we learn
that messenger had arrived at Leaven-
worth on the Sd inst. bringing the intelli-
gence that Capt. -Marey's command had
been cut off by the Morpons- Capt Mar

Sons Camp for Taos, in Mexico, to procure
supplies of salt for the army He arrived

Examination of Mr.. Lane.

AT the latest dates from Lawrence the
examination of Mr.. Lane, charged with the
murder of Gaius Jenkins, was progressing be-
fore Justices Soule, Ladd and Otterson. A
friend writing.from Lawrence under date of
the 18th. says ''the prospect is that Lane
viii not be committed. As near as can
learn ninety-nine in hundred would have
done precisely as he did. It is a bad affair
at best"
We have no doubt of the honesty and
ability of the Justices before whom the ex-
animation is pending. They viii do jus
tee without ''fear or favor.'' However ex-
tenuating the circumstances may be proven.
We cannot think they justify the taking of
life. Nothing but the protection of life
viii justify its taking. We shall look with
interest for the result.

A fearful state of affairs still exists on
the border in Linn county. Whole neigh
borhoods are leaving for fear of the inroads
of Hamilton and his gang of Rufians who
are prowling around near the line, in Mis-.
souri,. Capt. Montgomery has been arrest
ed, and this has dispirited the people. We
have been told that there was law for the
redress of grievances. We should like to
see an exhibition of it now. What is our
Governor doing? Has he done anything
at all to further the ends of justice, Or af-
ford security to the settlers? Wethink not.
Civil war win be the result if something is
not done soon.

rha Financla1 prospect.

AN reports from the East agree that the
country is slowly but surely .righting''
itself and recovering from the effects of the
late commercial crisis or. revulsion. Most
of the suspepded manufactures have resum-
ed work. The failures have generally prov
On to be less complete than at FIRST suppos-
ed and the immense grain crops of the West
have been crowded into market, which fact
of itself would be sufficient to give new
impetus to business and put into circulation
large amounts of currency. Nearly all the
suspended banks have resumed payment
The shipping of immense quantities of spe-
Gle 10 the old world has ceased, and men
trade within their means. These things
combined have done much to remove the
traces of the late storm, and restore conf
dence. In Kanzas, the waves created by
the &roubled waters of the East, reached us
but lately. When they did the storm had
nearly spent its fury, and the shock was
comparatively light. With circulating
medium mostly specie, and the expenditure
by Government of large sums of specie an
nually on our borders, it was impossible
that we should long suffer from the effects
of crisis induced by the over trading and
spectnations of the East Business is re-
viying. Merchants everywhere speak of
the Frightening prospects. The emigration
has been large. and has given an impetus to
business. Capital is beginning to seek in
vestment here. One of the results of the
crisis in the East has been to send capital
West for more safe investment. This is
sending hundreds of thousands of dollars
to Kanzas. No safer investment can any,
where be made than in Kanzas land or in
Kanzas towns. The shrewd capitalists and
spectators of the East begin to see this
Here, where the land is not subject to pri-
vate entry, and each man is allowed to pur-
chase from government but one quarter
section, and that after living on and inn
proving it, the speculator is not the curse
he has been found to be in other Western
States. He cannot purchase large tracts of
land at mere nominal price, to let it lie to
the detriment of all around him and the
best interests of community. All we want
is capital. 1t cannot well be misapplied-
either for the possesor or the community.-
The farmers viii soon be relieved of all de-
pendence on Missouri for breadstuffs, and
viii have surplus to sell. They viii spend
their money at home. Taken all in all the
prospect ahead-is decidedly good. and next
fall we shall undoubtedly be in the enjoy
ment of comparatively 'teasy times"

British outrage on Ameriean vessels.

British Outrage on American Vessels.
Much. excitement and indignation has
prevailed of late, in regard to the outrages
committed by British cruisers on Ameri-
can merchant vessels off the coast of Gu
ba-they being fred into and their ships
searched without warrant or authority
The Government Immediately upon the
substantiation of these facts ordered two
men-of war to the scene of difficulty, with
instructions to interpose for the protection
of our MERCHANTMEN even at the risk of a
hostile encounter. The orders were per-
emptory. Since then a new and aggravat:
ing outrage has been committed upon an
American vessel off Pensacola. A Brit
ish man-of-war has been fred into and one
man was killed. AT last accounts the United
States steamship Fulton had gone in pur-
suit. and a collision was regarded as newt
able. 1t is high time that the world under
stood that American vessels cannot be fred
into With impunity. The blood of an
American calls aloud for vengeance. We
hope our Government win not fail to exact
retribution of the sternest kind. The ma
tons honor is at stake.

Lynch Law.

Bogus Law s.didn't amount to shueks;;''
and after the .'semi-bogus" Legislature Of
last winter got through dove-tailing and
patching it up it was worse than ever be-
fore. A eart-load of Philadelphia lawyers
couldn't make ..head or tail'' out of it,
So when prompt action is necessary to
make sure of the object aimed at, the peo-
pie take the matter into their own hands,
and are claw unto themselves" We
have had several illustrations of this of late.
The more recent ones are the cases of a
person who robbed and maltreated boy,
near Burlingame, who was on his way to
Kanzas City to purchase. provisions. The
.robber was caught. The boy identified
him, when the citizens literally took the
law "into their. own hands, and gave the
scoundrel thirty-nine lashes and set him
adrift.
A couple of horse thieves named Clayyille
were taken near Leroy, on Tuesday, the Cd
inst. After squatter trial, in which they
were adjudged guilty, the elder one was
hung till he was dead, and the younger
one. then made confession, duplicating
large numbers of persons in different por-
tions of the Territory. and proving the ex-
istence of an organized gang; when he was
allowed to decamp "scot free," ON condi-
ton that he did not show his "mug'' in
that portion of the country again.
These things prove the existence of a
state of affairs not very pleasant. But it
is not worse than new countries generally.
The prompt actiorof the people in ..string-
ing up the guilty ones viii have the eff
feet to strike terror into the minds of the
balance of the gang, and viii have salu.
tary effect. 1t is not lda0, perhaps, but it
is Justice, of the oldest fashioned kind.

Vigilance Committee in New Orleans.
A revolutionary proceeding was inaugu-
rated in the city of New Orleans on the
night of June Cd, by the establishment OF
a Vigilance Committee similar to the one
organized in San Francisco short time
since: The professed object is to rid the
city of the desperate characters which in
fest it to the imminent danger of peaceable
citizens. A proclamation was issued call
ing on all good citizens to assist in carry
ing out the object for which the Committee
was organized. Much excitement prevail
ed. The military was ordered out by the
Mayor. The Common Council held secret
session to see wnat should be done. but ir-
resolution and a fear of consequences, pre-
vented them from taking any active measures.
On the 4th inst. a compromise was effected
between the Vigilance Committee and the
city Council by which the forces. of the
Committee were accepted as police force.
The Committee not disbanding. however,
1t seems, however, that the treaty did not
so int9 effect; for on the next day (the 5th)
a fight was anticipated between the parties.
An effort was being made to array the
American party against the Committee. A.
man named White, Connected with the Vig-
lance Committee had been shot and dan
gerously wounded. No later news.
