SwINE.-Mr. j. F. RHODES, proprietor
of the Horner Farm two miles west OF
Lancaster, is owner Of two imported Suf-
folk hogs, full bloods, boar and SOW. He
would be pleased to show them to persons
DESTROYS of securing the breed Or improving
their stock. The SOW had recently a lit
ter Of IA pigs, but unfortunately, all but
four we're lost during a very cold night
He will not therefore have any to dispose
of till better luck follows. He is anxious
to idtr oduce the stock, believing that the
profits Of pork would thereby be handsom-
ly augmented.

WEDN ESDAY, NOV. 10, 1858.
After EloctiOn.

The result of the election of last week
is on the whole quite as favorable as we
had hoped for. Massachusetts, has cleo
ted an entire Republican delegation to
Congress, though one or two districts were
considered extremely doubtful, Mr.
Banks plurality is about 10000. In
New York, the plurality for Morgan is
about 1900. All the Congress men cleo
ted out of New York city, arc of the oppo-
sition, ~ out of 81 are thus elected from
the State. New Jersey is overwhelming
ly Republican-an entire opposition dele
cation to Congress is elected. Michigan
gives Il Republican majority of from six
to ten thousand The precise character
of the Congressional election cannot now
be certainly known, though without doubt
largely Republican. 1t is supposed Mr..
Howard is not returned What returns
are received from Wisconsin indicate
ABOUT the same results IN that state. In
III. the Republicans have a majority o.
about 5000. This State was so districted
as to give the Democrats an immense ad-
vantage and in consequence, though the
aggregate vote is in favor of the Repub-
licans, there is Douglas majority of five
or six in each House which secures his re-
election, result Of more importance than
every thing else connected with this cleo
ton, as it will without doubt have ruling
effect in shaping the next Presidential
canvass.
This election has laid the administration
entirely PROSTATE, and its supporters have
not vestige of a chance to succeed in
the next nominating convention.

said that the laws<ol '43 and 80 were
good enough but he who had never bal
lot in his fingers which was not stained
with pro-savery, would not vote for them
if they were now before the Senate. One
great trouble of these laws was that they
bear the name of sioVe, and he would not
have the statutes of Vermont contain n
word that would ever remind his children
of such diabolical system as slavery
Another reason was that these acts faunt
broad terms of defiance, without providing
digniliod and adequate sanctions.
The state of those laws, provides that a
collateral trial by jury shall be given, but
in case Of the defeat she comes forward to
settle the bills like defeated party
Slavery claims to bear the title OF an
institution" but this assumption is one
of its enormities. You might as well call
murder, arson, and adultery an institution

was never established by law. but it is a
state of war, and its victims are prisoners
of war.
He knew that Congress in form enacted
laws in 1913 under which cases might arise,
provided for in this bill. A fugitive from
justice may be arraigned upon a simple
charge but fugitive from service should
not be concluded by any eu parte proceed
ng. 1t is an enormity that cannot be en-
dured if it be possible for the people to
break through the mighty spell Of slavery
He would not advocate this bill as ia
matte, but as calm defender Of right and
justice. He claimed for This lave $50 fl.ua'-

the Constitution of the United States, fu.

the poles are asunder The doctrines
which are subject now to be forced upon
us, are such as demand investigation, and
earnest inquiry. How much respect should
we have for such teaching as that whict
in these last days has given life to such
an infamous bill as that known as the Flu
gitive Slave Act, and which is even nov
agitating the country, as it has agitated i
ever since its enactment. Ifhe had talked
earnestly, it had been truthfully and h,

The Senate has given considerable time
to a bill for the relief of St. Adams Bank.
This is to remit tax incurred in conse-
quence of failure to provide redemp-
ton deposit in Boston. 1t seems not
probable that the relief will be granted.
In the House, the bill exempting Mu-
steal instruments from attachment was dis
cussed and ordered to third reading and
subsequently dismissed. The Senate bill
repeating the act authorizing the business
of banking was discussed and ordered to
lie.
The bill relating to Common Schools,
framed by the State Committee, has been
under discussion, but no definite action was
arrived at.
A strong effort was made in the House
to authorize the licencing of Circuses, with
others in the discussion were Woodbridge
OF Vergennes for, and Omstead of Bird
port and Bascom of Orwell against it.
The bill was finally dismissed by a vote
of 100 to 90.
A great number of petitions touching
the rendition of fugitives have been pre-
sented, and a.bill introduced into the
Senate, by Mr.. Nicholson of Rutland
County, designed to contravene the object
of the Fugitive Slave Law, which is very
likely to become a law A brief abstract
of his speech is given elsewhere.
A very great amount of legislation is
every week introduced, which it would be
wearisome to mention. Bills for the Pre-

speeches, illustrates one point ofthe argu-
ment in favor of free labor in this way;

Well, Jefferson reasoned when he looked
on a sheep and saw the wool growing on
his back, and was aware that in our
climate, men needed coats made from
wool-he reasoned, 1 say, that if a man
was not meant to labor, the sheep was not
made right. If man was intended to cut
and wash and card the wool, and spin it
and weave it into cloth, and have it cut
into coat by tailor, then the sheep
wasn't made right by any means. If
these gentlemen who believe man should
not labor, had bad the making of the
sheep, they would have made it with a
blue coat on its back, the bright metal
buttons hanging down in front. (Laugh-

Legislating for Circuses.

We regret exceedingly to witness the
persistent effort exhibited in our legisa-
ture to overthrow the legal barriers to cir
Gus exhibitions. The demonstration re-
Gently made in that direction are indeed
formidable, and may be true expression
of the popular wish,-but we do not be-
leve it The moral or immoral tendency
of circuses we do not propose to discuss.
As an institution, where left to themselves
they are deadly poison and leave their
fatal slime wherever they 60 But if the
question of licensing circuscs only were
involved in the matter we should feel less
interest. Let US take the dip of the ar
guments in the affirmative of the question
as presented
A class are ready to admit that these
exhibitions, as sometimes conducted. are
Objectionable, but the wants of the COM
munity demand amusement of some kind
and under the regulating care ofthe leg
'Sjature this may be made harmless There
is another class, less judicious, and more
out-spoken, who freely declare their de-
testation of the principle of legislati ng to
protect the public morals The whole
subject is involved in the circus question.
Now we are free to say that we cordially
detest the principle of regulating an ac-
knowledged evil by legislation, and espec.
tally when the evil may be efectually
banished Jy IegiSlation, and more espec-
tally when it is already banished To reg
ulate an evil by statute is to acknowledge
that it is necessity 1t gives by letter
full license to indulgence in the regulated
thing and a license which practically
reaches on indefinitely, and is in effect
legislation sanction of every foul thing it
attempts to regulate, and the moral power
of such sanction is beyond all compute
ton.
The policy of this State at present is
to prohibit such traffics as have clearly an
immoral tendency, and the proposed
change in respect to circuses hints very
broadly to desire for o general change
Of policy which we hope the people of this
State are not and never will be prepared
for. The arguments in favor of the pres
ent policy are too familiar to need repe-
tition. The question before the legisla-
ture is but reopening of the old question
in an insiduous form. Let the State once
assume the regulating of circuses and it
must soon resume the regulation of dram
selling it must regulate gamblng-house-
keeping, brothels and the whole brood
which have now, and ever should have, no
legislative countenancs whatever.
But if license is to be granted at all
let it be free license. Let not the State
stand between every contamnating thing,
and the true friends of morality. IF the
morals Of the State are to be left to the
conservatism of individuals and associa-
tions of individuals, let them have at least
as good chance as possible at the evil,
unrestricted by legislative protection mis-
called regulation. But it is not to be So
