1t will be seen from the above that
the Republican majority on the State
ticket in Floyd county is PA. The
majority of Bowdoin for Representa-

Senator 2l4. Congcr's infamous hand
bills were not believed by the people
and had no other effect than to lessen
his own vote which he has found bv

The late Partisan fashion of the la
dies going dressed with the utmost
plainness to church, has brought out
in America a similar desire, and at
present modest dresses, of the Quaker
grades of colors, with plain full skirts,
with ilounces, are becoming the bon
ton of the day. These couieurs erues,"
as the French call them, are elegant
in their simplicity, and will look far
more tasteful and lady-likc than the
brilliant notions vulgar taste loves to
spread itself in.

Kansas.

The long five years struggle which
has had for its purpose the freedom
or cnslavcmcnt of Kansas, seems to
be drawing to close The vote has
just been taken on the fourth Consti-
tuition presented to the people Of that
territory, and the returns indicate that
it has been adopted by a decisive ma
,jority. Topeka" Lccompton and
Leavcnworth have had their scve-
raj days, and arc henccforth to be
known only as mile stones on the
highway of civilization and consttu-
tional liberty, yet marking one Of the
grandest battles in freedoms cause
that can be found upon the pages of
history. Though the excitement at
tending the struggle has been follow
ed by partial reaction, and though
bleeding Kansas" has become Il by
word on the lips of many we'll mean
ing simplctons as we'll as many un-
blushing knaves, the fact that five
years conflict was carried on in the
United States to give force and effect
to the idea that all men are created
equal, will give this contest rank with
the noblest struggles Of the world.
The question which presents itself
Immediately upon the adoption of the
Wyandott Constitution, relates to the
early admission of the State Of Kan
sas into the Union. Undoubtedly il
is not measure of prudence for the
Democratic party to hasten the ad.
mission before the next Presidential
election. Yet we are confident that
Kansas will be admitted before tho
adjournment Of the next session O
Congress. The House of Representa-
tivcs is fully secured and committee
to that policy, and however distaste
full it might be to the Democracy t
have new free State with full voting
powers in the Union, it would perhaps
be more distasteful to them TO assume
the responsibility, through their Presi-
dent or their Senate, of keeping it
out. If it has been so long the desire
of that party to see the Kansas ques-
ton removed from the halls of Con-
gress and from the public mind, they
will have the opportunity to aid the
Republicans in removing it before
they are many months older. Or, il
they choose to rest their chances Of
another Presidential election on the
Kansas Issue, that opportunity will
be equally at their command. We
congratulate the friends of the Wyan-
dott Constitution on the undoubted
fact that the Democracy have had all
they can stand of bleeding Kansas"
