States. They will constitute vast addi
lion 10 the army of janissaries scattered al
over the country, and are expected to dc
all in their power to defeat public scnti
ment in regard to the Presidency, and alsc
for the purpose of sustaining the errors Of
the General Administration. 1t is assert
ed that in n number of the counties of youl
State, one of these deputy marshalship;
has frequently been promised to dozen
persons. There will be very rigid over
hauling of this whole system by the mex,
Congress, when the appropriation comes te
be made. The work of taking the censu:
has not begun, and those who are trying
TO turn it into mere party machine mus
take care lest their operations should be Sc
revised and corrected as to take the mat
ter entirely out of their hands.
Many experienced persons now in this
city from California give it as their opinion
that DR.. Gwin will never be reelected to
the United States Senate from that State.
The popular revulsion growing out of the
murder of Broderick is so great, that it is
predicted that no member of the Legisla-
ture will have the hardihood 10 vote for
any man who is suspected of having had
the slightest participation in the prepara-
tions to that melancholy event. The vote
thrown by the State-Rights Democrats of
California at the last election, under all the
circumstances, was very large One. All
that is now necessary to make the move
ment irresistible is, for the men who stood
square in the recent conflict to continue
their organization, and to refuse all asso-
citation with the representatives of the
General Administration on the Pacific
coast.
am very sorry to be compelled to re-
assure you that Mr.. Buchanan's i'll temper
increases apace. Why should he writhe so
at being criticised in regard to the Broder-
ick murderl If his nerves are steady,
and his conscience clean and clear, he need
not apprehend the appearance of "bloody
Banquo" at the boards, nor tremble at the
anticipated arrival of the ghost of the
slaughtered man. You recollect, ofcourse,
in 1856, when Bennett accused him of
having been the cause of the death of a
very excellent young lady, with what su-
preme indifference he passed by the charge,
only demanding that somebody should go
to New York, and take the ears from the
head of the refined and pious editor of the
Herald. When his present friend, Francis
j. Grund, was defaming him in the streets
of Washington in a manner so atrocious
that men stood appalled, at his calumnies,
Mr.. Buchanan passed by the censure with
comparative Indifference; and We have seen
that, MS soon as his own election was over,
he sent for the virtuous Grund, and took
him atfectionately to his warm and palpi
tating bosom. Why, then should his Ma
jesty writhe under your comments, and
threaten all sorts of vengeance upon your
devoted headi OCCASIONAL.

Letter from ssOccasional.n.
WASHINGTON, October IA, 1859.

w OCIOUCI IL, lOOO.
The leading ambition of Attorney Gen.
eral Black is to be appointed one of the
Supreme Court of the United States. He
has been preparing for this with wonderful
industry ever since he, was appointed into
the cabinent. Although there are many
distinguished men in the judicial district Of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey who aspire
to this important position, the Attorney
General occupies the ground here, and is
most assiduous in depreciating them in the
eyes of the Executive, and in keeping
them away from the royal presence. Judge
Black bases bis expectation Of The first va
cancy upon several considerations. He
has gone farther in personal calumny Of
honest Democrats, in his own and other
States, who resisted the Territorial policy
Of the Administration, than any other man
in the Cabinet. Although one of the
most urgent advocates of the rights of the
people of the Territories in the formation
and regulation of their domestic institu-
tions, before he became part of the Ad-
ministration, he is now violently offensive
on the other side. He is the especial ad-
vocate of slave code in the Territories,
for all his late articles mean this, or they
mean nothing. He would 60 upon the
bench of the Supreme Court perfect JEFF
freys = publicly committed to a theory
which not one of the pure and upright
men on that bench has ever condescended
to endorse. Shall such partisan be per-
mitted to represent Pennsylvania and New
Jersey in the highest tribunal known to
our laws? Will the President so far in
suit public opinion as to confer upon Judge
Black n place which ought to be occupied
by the most patriotic and wisest citizen
If the President is himself willing to yield
TO the opportunities of Black, l demand to
know whether the Senate would confirm
such nomination.? 1t is well to take
time by the forelock in such matters, in or
der that the public may be protected
against snap judgments, and may prepare
themselves to take ground against a new
ly contemplated outrage.
The refusal of the New York capitalists,
in the Democratic party, to contribute any
more money for the purpose of electing a
set of candidates nominated under the cor
rupt auspices of the managers of Tamma.
ny Hall, indicates that the reign of the
office holders of the Federal Government is
nearly over. When such men as August
Belmont, Watt Sherman, James Lee, S. L.
w. Barlow, Schuyler Livingston, Royal
Phelps, &C., who have heretofore contrib
uted larely to pay the expenses of elec-
tons, withhold their subsidies, the conse-
quence must be either that good nomiua-
lions will be made, or that bad ones will be
defeated at the polls. 1t is an example
that deserves imitation in all parts of the
country.

Hap crrrBnar1os.-rhe Democrats

Hap CrLEBRar1os.-The Democrats
of this comfy had been made to believe
that they would carry their State Ticket
this fall, beyond a doubt. All they
thought necessary, was to bide their time,
ths result being a settled matter. Well, the
election over, they concluded to have a
celebration, and as some Of them had been
aching for long while to have hallooing,
they determined to have il at once, and the
Wednesday, evening after the election was
the time set for q grand joli6cation. We'd
nesday evening came and with it the un-
washed, uhterrifed and unturned Democ-
racy of Holmes, or At least part of it,
They built fires, they had music, they
drank, they hollered. they groaned the
Republicans, cheered their own candidates
and everything went off "merry as mar
rage bell" until the cars came in which
brought the news that the State had gone
Republican by 10000 majority. Then you
ought to have seen the celebration vamoose,
@caHumix," dissolve, run down at the
heel aud run of. Their half burnt tar bar
rels were taken possession of by the Repub-
licans, their cheers for RASNEY gave place
to cheers for DENsIsos, their groans over
the Republican ticket, 10 real groans over
theirown defeat. The Republican laughed
to see the sight, and wondered when their
political opponents would have their next
celebration over the result in Ohio.

reached after calm and careful review of
all the questions, and especially of the great
question, dividing parties. 1t is majori-
ty, no longer of cnaii:iou, but is almost en-
tirely made up Of votes that are essentially
aud permanently Republican. The pow
erful American element that helped to
swell its first victory, has ceased to act as
a separate political power. 1t has either
gone over to the Democracy or become
substantially incorporated with the Repub
licans. In some few localities, as in Ham,
liton county, aremnant of it is left, butthe
recent election there shows that it threw
most of its strength in favor of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Heuceforth the Republicans
will fight the battle there, we trust, not
under the parti colored banner of s.Opposi-
tion," but under the boldly unfurled flag of
Republicanism, We refer the reader to
an article in the Cincinnati Gazette which
is outspoken upon this point.
The returns of the election teach an i'm
portant lesson. Wherever Republican doc
trines have been most boldly avowed, and
whereyever the Republican organization has
been most rigidly maintained, our success
has been marked, even Monroe, the strong
hold of Democracy, has partially yielded to
a compact Republican phalanx, which fol-
lowed no divided command. Wherever
the reverse is the case, with few exceptions,
we see different result. The Republican
party is strongest where its principles are
maintained and avowed in their greatest
purity. One of the valuable results of the
last election has Been the demonstration of
this truth. The battle we have fought has
not been one of coalition, and the victory
has been achieved by the power of Repub-
lican principles, boldly and firmly avowed.

One of the foreign letter writers stat, !,
that Senator Seward who is now travelling
in the old world, has gone to Egypt. H $
friends abroad are alarmed at the step, for
it is considered in Paris much too early in
the season to visit Egypt. The sickly Pc
riod is not yet over, and Mr.. Seward never
has been aeclima:ed to the peculiar state of
the atmosphere he will find on the Nile in
September. Besides, quarantine regula-
tions are now in full force in Egypt and
Mr.. Seward may lose much time in endeav-
oring to ascend the Nile. His friends in

Illegal Disfrachisement of VO-
tCrS.


We are glad TO learn that several color
ed voters of Ohio whose ballots were re-
fused by party judges at the late election,
are resolved 10 test tleir rights by an ap-
peal to the legal tribunals of our State
The Democratic judges of election disfran-
chised voters "of reputed African descent,
was passed at the last session as proscrip.
tive party measures and nothing else. 1t
introduces test Of qualification of electors
never contemplated by the old or the new
Constitutions, and as unjust as it is un-
heard of in the free States. Tho decision
of the Supreme Court under the old Con-
stitution on the subject of colored voters
has never been reversed, and is the just and
only legal rule STILL Ii has the sanction of
high Democratic authority, rs we'll as long
public concurrence. The old constitution
limited the right of suffrage to white per-
sons. The matter was finally carried be-
fore the Supreme Court, of which Gov.
Wood, Judge Read and Judge Birchnrd,
then Democrats, were members. The
Court, Judges Wood and Birchard concur
ring, decided that mulattoes have the right
10 vote. They declared that 'fhe majority
or preponderance Of blood, either black or
white, carries with it conclusive evidence
of the qualifications conferred" &C. This
was the settled Interpretation of the old
constitution, and was discussed and as
sented to when the new constitution was
formed. Judge Ranney took part in the
debate, and opposed the proposition offered
in the Constitutional Convention to change
the rule of The old Constitution, interpret
ed by thu Democratic Supreme Court, and
leave the whole subject 10 the Legislature.

The Senatorial districts vet to be heard
from are -
9th District, Ross DC.

9Th Lawrence DC.

Of these the Ross and Highland dis
irict is very close, having given Demo-
cratic majority of 35 last year. The 18th
district is also close. 1t gave l66 Repub-
liean majority last year. The slh district
will undoubtedly elect Republican Sena-
tor, having given Republican majority of
l,Ol5 last year. The l 4th district, Wash

lican, the majority last year having been

election in Ohio and Pennsylvania became
known, theopposition press in these States,
have began to crow over their victories in
the slave States where elections have been
held within the last two months. To boast

of the victory he wins. Poor fellows, they
must have something to crow over, and
they'd boast of having carried State

and to vndicate either the position of the
so called Democratic party, or the more
equivocal position of neutrality between
the two great political organizations of the
country.
In all Mr.. Dennison's efforts he has
boldly and frankly proclaimed his senti-
ments, seeking no advantage by equivoca-
ton or reserve, and shrinking from no re-
sponsibility that could arise from faith
full and fearless enunciation of the great
truths that form the basis of Republican
ism. Never before in Ohio, have the
speeches of any candidate been so fully re-
ported and so widely circulated by the
newspaper press; so that it may be said
literally that he did not address, in any of
his speeches, the people of neighborhood
or section but the whole people of Ohio.
The debates, especially, between him and
Judge Ranney we presume have been read
by every intelligent voter in the State.-
Upon the issued thus presented and thor
oughly discussed by competent champions
representing both sides Of the controversy,
the people of Ohio have had an opportuni-
ty Of making up their deliberate Judgment.
Republican principles and Democratic pro-
fessious have had fair and impartial trial
before them-such trial as they have
never had before. The verdict of this great
popular tribunal has been rendered, aud
wisely rendered-uot upon the impulse of
an universal and irresistible indignation
as in 1855 aud 1856; nor under the ex-
citement of Presidential contest, as in
1856; nor has it been attained through the
detection and division of a portion Of the
Democracy as in 1858. 1t is decision
