Election News.

The last overland mail brings the most
discouraging news to the administration
men of this State. Their rejoicing has
been turned into mourning. Instead of
running out big guns and making the
welkin ring with applause, the Lecomp-
ton men slink away and curse more ter
ribly than the army in Flanders. 1t is
an undeniable fact that the faithless and
corrupt administration Of James Buch-
anau stands rebuked by the pecpl e.
Thcy refuse to sustain him longer in his
career of rccklessness and SHINE. Ev-
erywhere the potent voic., of the people
proclaims the admini.s stration unworthy
of confidence ane. support. They have
come up to the polls and placed the seal
of condemnation upon the acts of the
President and his myrmidons in power.
They have elected Jehu Clancy Jones,
the Presidents right hand man in Penn
sylvania, to stay at home. Out of thir-
teen Congressional districts heard from
in that State the administration has car
ried but two while the opposition can
boast of eleven. The State has gone
opposition by large popular majority,
Ohio has gone against the administra-
tion by from zen to fifteen thousand ma
jority. Tom Corwin and at least four
teen other opponents of the President
have been returned out of twenty-one,
the whole number of Congressman cleo
ted.
Indiana has also turned upon the ad-
ministration, giving it most signal blow.
Out of eleven the opposition have cleo
ted nine. The majorities in almost ev-
cry instance where an opposition man
has been elected are greatly increased,
while the tools of the President have
slipped in by the skin of their teeth if
at all. This has been the case every
where.
Kansas, too. has again spoken in her
local elections. Her voice is no longer
to be misunderstood. Gov Denver an
nounces that the free State men have
control of every county in the Terrific
ry. Therefore the hopes of the prosla-
very administration party as to Kansas
are ebbing fast, and determined op-
position to the admission of that State
into the Union may be expected at the
approaching session Of Congress. Con-
gress assemblies at Washington in three
weeks from next Monday. Every indi-
caticn points to it as session fruitful in
results. 1t may not pass measure
conducive to the welfare of the country,
but is bound to produce political sum-
mersets of the most remarkable charac-
ter. A strong position has been taken
by the staunchest supporters of the Pres
ident against the admission of Kansas
till she possesses the requisite popula-
tion to entitle her to a representative.
The probabilities are that there will be
no compromise with these men. They
do not belong to the compromise class,
besides the President is in their leading
strings giving them encouragement to
persist in their demands. Buchanan
has committed himself in the English
bill to that policy. Here, then. is dis
covered strong force mustered against
Kansas On the other hand the oppo-
sition will display itself in great force
on the lower floor of Congress, encour-
aged and strengthened by the late de-
cision of the people at the ballot box
The principles at stake are clearly seen
and the division line between parties in
Congress as clearly drawn. The nu-
merical strength of the respective fac
tions may be calculated to some extent;
but where will be found such men as
English, who hav'nt stability of mind
enough TO remain long in one position, is
the question. And more important
query is, what is to be the future course
of those presses and men. of which there
are large number, who support the
administration now, but have committed
themselves in favor of the admission OF
Kansas at the coming session OF Con-
gressl Will they buble on their track
and toady to the President again and
again we shall see.
