Our State is to be the arena Of an important and
animated Election next November, which will de-
eide who is to govern it for the next two years, and
90 far to decide the political complexion of the next
Congress. Ard in this contest very much will de-
pend on the attitude and bearing of this great En-
porium.
Ten Members of Congress were chosen in '56
from this City and the District. which adcin it
Zone of them in New-Jersey )-every one OF the ten
supporter of Mr. Buchanan. Two of those Mem
bers-Messrs Clark and 1Iaskin-have proved able,
faithful, ircorruptible opponents of the Lecompton
fraud ard all kindred iniHuties; but no credit is
due for this 70 the Opposition, which did nothing
TO elect but all that its distracted state would
permit 10 defeat them. The eight others
have been among the most interruptions,
cbsequious aud Industrious tools Of the
Slave Power, and ts creature and vassal enthronad
in the White House. While honest, manly repre-
sentatiyes of Slayehcding constituencies reyolted
at the atrocity of the Leccmpton scheme, and EN-.
phaticolly 6eIounced ard opposed it, eight
Members from tbs City and the adjacent Districts,
including one apostate Fee Soilcr, did everything
in their power to suhugate the People of Kansas
to that most infamous imposture, and at last, when
defeated in this effort, voted solid for the English
dodge whereby millions of acres of public lands
and immediate admission into the Union are prof
itred to that People on the express condition that
they will consent to come in as q Slave State.
These votes defy AID outrage the public sentiment
of this community. With all our faults and vices,
tie citizens of New York, Brooklyn, and the yicn-
iiy are not low enough in the scale of being 10 ap
prove such proHer. There are thousands amoDs
US who suppose they have been or are to be enriched
by the patronage of shareholders, AID who yot,
accordingly; but there is no majority here ready to
justify the offer Of gigantic bride TO the People Of
Territory to Induce them to curse themselves and
their children with human chattlch ood. Oaly
through tie divisions and nst queut impotence of
tie majority were such representatives foistel
upon US.
The time for retrieving the disasters of sc is at
hard. Had but this City ard It's vicinity besn truly
represented in the llouse, the English bIibc would
have been served as LecOmpton naked mad just
beer. And this City ard its neighborhood can now
set al exampe to the residue Of the S;ste and the
country which Will insure s,rocgly Opposition
Houfe in the next COasTess-eGe devoted to the
Interests Of Free Lablr and sternly opposed TO
any leg.ston calculated TO extend The dominion Of
Slavery.
Toward this ind, the first step is TO cultivate
kindly relations between the difiercn: camps of the
Opposition; the mex. is to agree on candidates for
tic most important stations who shall be univer.
sally recognized as upright capable and deserving.
We have Sheriff County Clerk, Controller
ard other important officers to choose this Fall;
we can elect men opposed to the Lecompton fraud
and its sdjuncts at Washington and to fraudulent
voting right here, if the best are chosen for our
.tsnf arr. besiers Otherwise, our eaudidates will
