The Congressional Test.

h Hitherto, with but the exception G
New York twenty years ago, and c
It New Hampshire four years ago, on
5 Presidents have all been sustained t,
| the last by their respective States
. VAN BUREy, PIERCE, and BUCHANA,
| We believe are the only President
, whose Administrations became 81
, obnoxious that even State pride wa
appealed to in vain for their aid, anC
they were rcpudiatcd by their owl
most immediate constituents.
The recent uncNamplcd defeat O.
the President in his own State, abun
dainty demonstrates that it was only
by the blindness Of State pride with
the wicked division Of his opponents
that he was successful two years ago.
1t had been as fully demonstrated as
q future career could be, that he would
prove to he just the tool Of Slavery
that he has been. The disappointment
of intelligent and unbiased minds is
less, now, than it was then.
We last week gave the full vote of
the State for Judge, showing $4,000
majority on a larger vote than for
/ Governor, when Packer had 1900
over both his opponents. But this is
not fair test as regards the National
Administration. Many who oppose
buchanan, have nothing against Mr..
Porter or Mr.. Frost, and voted for
them. Thus Bcrks gave Porter a
maj. Of 1850, and - against a special
friend of Buchanan for Congress. The
latter Office most directly and intim-
ately concerns National affairs, and is
therefore the TRUE TEST Of the
President with the People.
As q matter Of general interest, we
therefore give the Congressional vote
Of the several Districts, in order, by
counties, with comparisons, and some
notice of the new Members elect.
DiStrtctI RYAN, NeiJinger, Florence,
Op. AL. d. Ad.
G wards, Phila. 6i92 2442 6S23
Sprogel, St. X. n, had "A votes.
Florence over Ryan 33l
Ryan, Spro. and Neb. over Flor, 20S5
Here is a clear majority Of 1000
against the Administration, and yet
friend of it is returned by majority
which Mr.Ryan alleges he will prove
by due investigation was fraudulent.
Hundreds of voters were notoriously
colonized in the Navy Yard to help
Florence through. The moral power
Of the District is against Buchanan.
II. MORRIS, Op. Martin, Ad.
5 wards, Philad 5653 1890
Morris over Martin 1923
MORRIS is one of the ablcst of the
lower House at Washington, and is
reelected by an increased majority,
notwithstanding Forncy's Press made
special efforts in favor of his personal
friend Martin.
III. VERREE, ,Op Reeds Landy, Ad
6 wards, Phil. 6977 81 1884
Verree and Reed over Landy 1l43
VERREE is Republican, and is very
highly commended as a suitable per-
son for the office. \ new Member, he |
runs ont Landy, who voted for both |
the Lecompton and English bills, and
Verify he has MS reward"
". MILLwARD, ,Op. Broom,S. Philips, ,Ad |
s wards, Phil. 9749 253 6451
Millward and Broom over Philips 3551 !
MILLwARD was an American Mem !
ber, four years ago, but defeated in
1856. His course in Congress was so
satisfactory to all shades of the Oppo-
ton, that he was their nominee, last
fall. for Canal G Commissioner. Broom
was once a Congressman, hut has
been playing the Straight" game till
he is himself played out" Phillips |
is the present Member, and proved an
adroit but unscrupulous Lecomptonite.
V. WooD, OPP. O.Joues, Ad.
Part of Philad. 1869 22l4
Montgomery 6032 9701 500t..7209 |
Wood over Owen Jones 1892
WooD is said to be practical bus
mess man. Owen Jones is consigned
to defeat by voting for Lecompton,
and a new man takes his place.
Philadelphia and Montgomery gave
Buchanan 1900 majority. Now they
give 5000 against him.
