PHILADELPHIA Oct. II, ISIS.
The election last week has driven home the last
nail in the coffn of Buchsnsn's aspirations for u
second term. Already his whifpers-in give
out official notice that be declines, and that they
are forbidden any longer to urge him as candl-
date. Thus gloriously has the tremendous blow
struck home The facile old man, the lifelong
defamer of Henry Clay around whose tottering
steps the shadows Of an advancing eternity fast
closing in, has been struck with new palsy at
his own hearth. Blind as Pennsylvania heretofore
has bee H. doing for many years the bidding of the
Slave Democracy, yet she has risen from her bond.

Your notices of this election have been too full
and accurate to require further particulars, except
on one point 1t has broken the back of an attempt
in Allegheny County to repudlate her bonds.
Pittsburgh and Allegheny County some years ago
subscribed TO the stocks of various railroad com
panies issuing bonds therefor, and plcdging the
municipal faith for the payment of principal aud
interest. The companies paid the interest for two
wears out of their capital but that being used up,
they let the interest slide, and the bondholders ap
pesed to the municipalities to pay it. But vlo.ent
opposition TO payment sprung up, worthy OF Mis-
sissippi or Arkansas reputation. The rcpudlator'
organized political party on this issue, avowin
their intention IL shlrk the whole debt and camrt
the polls with full ticket from Congress down to
Constable. They spent large amount of money
on this dishonest purpose, even 10 establishing
newspaper. Extensive property holders were found
unprincp;ed enough to subscribe funds 10 put
pudaton through, in hopes of getting rid of their

routed at the late election 1t is we'll that this first
attempt at repudation in Pennsylvania has been
thus summary crushed out. Had they made even
show Of success il would have irretrlevaby
blosted the credit Of the State. As it Is, the
holders of these Allegheny bonds have suffered
heavy loss by the attempt. They have been drug
on the market for some time past, aud even now
are selling al prices greatly below par
Another lesson taught by this election Is that
what il facetiously known as straight-out Amerl-
cansm killed dead that no time should be lost
in burying a carcass which is already offensive.
The chief of these mercensries is the Hon. Jacob
Broom, the same who made feryid speech at a
recent Fusion meeting in New-Yora, counseling
union between Americans and Republicans when
they should meet at Syracuse He is said 10 have
received $500 for making that speech. But though
union might be good thing at Syracuse, it was in
Mr. BroOm's opinion one that didn't pay in Phila.
delphia The Hon. Henry NJ. Phillips hearing of
this conclusion Ia Mr.. Broom's mind. is said 10
have paid slr Broom Sl,OC0 to run as the straight
out candidate in his district and run he did, the
strength of gros-shop nomination AID of the
Aforesaid 200, the latter, however, being strong
enough without the other. This was a clever but
expensive trick to beat Millward having the adii-
tiOnal merit of showing up the utter imbecty of
the StraigLt-outs. Broom polled some 250 votes,
which, as the story goes must have cost Phillips
- Il head. Had they been enough 10 elect him.
they would have been cheap, but the thing trnel
out, they were a dear bargain. Mr. Broom hence-
forward drops out of sight, covered with All odum
so enormous that some new gospel must be invented
10 insure his salvation for the old one indicates no
atonement for the part which he has degraded him
self into playing in this canvass.
