New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1858-05-06

We are often reminded Of the philosophy OF %
Milesian resident in Cleveland, who after years OF
dubious and contradictory reports as to its SOL
yency, heard at last that the Bank of Wooster
(Obio) had failed. Everybody else was cursing its
officers and managers-thOse who had not, quite as
loud moutbed as those who had, any of its densive
promises-but Pat, who supposed all Banks were
established merely to make money by breaking
them-whO regarded failure as the natural aud
necessary conclusion Of a Banks career-and who
had been hearing that this one had broken OF soon
would break for years-was filled with irrepressible
admiration of its tenacious resistance to the COM
mon doom, which he thus expressed: "Ah that
Wooster was bully Of Bank 1t stood up
"ereat nhiiel And SO, while we listen to reports
of W bite. House congratulations and Custom House
caIDonades over the issue of the LeeomptOn strug-
Gle, we joyfuly discern in that struggles issue the
omtns of brighter Gay for our Republic and for
the cause OF Universal Liberty. Let us consider
the facts:
l. In the Senate, throughout the long snd ardu-
GUS struggle on the Nebraska blu, the vote against
whatever was demanded by the Slave Power never
rose above fourteen. During the last Congress,
throughout the long struggle for the rescue of
Kansas from her invaders and oppressors, the vote
in her behalf never exceeded thirteen. Now,
throughout the struggle just ended, the Republican
vote alone has been twenty, while the total vote
against Lecompton has been twenty-five. Aud
two of the steady supporters of Lecompton
(Mtssrs. Allen of r. /. and Geo. w. Jones of
Iowa) are already certain to give place to Repub-
lican successors at the close Of this Congress.
II. To the present House, but ninetytwo Re
publicans were chosen, including several American
supported by the Republicans, and but very slightly
tnctured with Anti-Slavery. Yet throughout the
Lecompton struggle, our lowest antiLecomPton
vote in the House was one hundred, while the
HIGHEST was one hundred and twenty, at which
point il stood for weeks, or until the contrvance
of the En- glish dodge. twenty-five of those who
opposed LecopptoD, including thirteen OF those
who were faithful TO the last, were chosen Is Dem
ocrats, in defiance of the utmost endeavors oil the
| Republicans, and under circumstances that na'ur-
ally inclined them to regard bleeding kanfas
| with aversion and all manner Of "shrieklng ior
Freedom" with disgust. They were chosen aud
went TO Washington as supporters OF the Federal
Executive, and had (many Of them axes to griad
on the Executive gindstone, in the shape OF ap'
pcations Of friends for Offices for contracts, &c.
Every man of them knew that, by opposing Le-
compton, he cut himself off from all hope 81 Presi'
dental favor or countenance. Yet twenty-five
demo Gratis at frst and thirteen to the last de6ed
every incitement Of party drill or personal agsran
dizement in speaking and voting against Lecomp
ton. Can any one imagine or pretend that aush
but stern. imperative sense of duty impelled then
to take this coursei
! Ill. So with regard to Members from Slav,
