Old Buck anu Black RepudIated.

1.-The whole country has been watching
the result Of the late Democratic State
Convention of Pennsylvania, to see if
that State would form an exception to the
popular sovereignty expression which has
so fan obtained in all the free States, and
to see also if the Lecompton prescription
and policy of Buchanan would he endors-
ed by his own State. There has been by
this Administration, as appears by the
Blue Book, over seven thousand federal
appointments conferred upon Pennsylva.
mans In and out of that State, including
some of the best in the gift of the Presi-
dent, to wit: One Cabinet Officer, five
Foreign Missions, twenty-one Consuls,
three Bureaus and one hundred and
nineteen Clerks in the Departments at
Washington I; two thousand three hun
bred and twenty-six poSimasters scattered
throughout the State, and over fifteen
hundred Custom House officers, with any
quantity of lesser and larger appoint
ments, amounting in the aggregate to
millions of money annually, and to more
government patronage, the Presidency
included, than all the balance Of the
States have received. With the unscru-
pulous use which the President is known
TO make Of this vast power, II was ex-
pected that in his own State at least, he
would so far control the late Convention
as TO have ''Lecomp,on,p which. 10 one of
his messages he took officially occasion to

endorsed and popular sovereignty de-
nounced, as he and Black have made this
the special theme Of their Adlninistra-
ton.
But nc such thing was done; while per
contra popular sovereignty was endorsed,
and the Administration id with the
faintest kind Of praise. They did more.
They nominated Col. Foster, an out and
out Anti ecompton Douglas and popular
sovereignty man for Governor, and they
did it too by reclamation. They did not
stop there. They elected Col. Montgo-
merry, the member from Washington
county, who headed the ntl-Lecompton
delegation from Pennsylvania in Con-
gress and fought Old Buck and his myr-
midons TO the bitter end, as one of the
Delegates for the State at large to Char
lesion. Several of the District Delegates
are the sworn friends of the Little Giant,
and the electors are ha.f and half And

= rIhe following IS the OWclat Vote OF Ne"
maha County. Last week we gave the
vote Of Longs precinct, eight in number,
which is thrown out by the ~canvasseIs
because Of informalIty. As the action
does not change the result, alleast in this
county, we presume no one will very Sc
rIOusly complain. We have heretofore
given our individual opinion as 10 ignor-
) ing a popular expression because of mere
sipfOrmaliiy; we do not believe in ii. In
senling such a question, there should be
but one point, or count, viz: was there
fraud. or an attempt to commit fraud a.
3 Further than this, we would not care if
the votes were simply deposited in a hat,
and counted out as in a own meeting. A
fair. honest expression Of the people,
should never be lhwarted because of mere
nformality. We mean to censure no one,
because we believe The Board did what
they honestly thought was their duty in
the matter. srs1g

The following pointed cut at Gov. Me-
dary's Veto Message accompanying the
Slave Prohibitory Bill passed by the Kan
sas Legislature. and by the Governor re-
turned, is from Sol. Miller's Washington
Correspondent, "Sniggsfitz,"
"a rich thing has lately ~transpired, in
which your folks out ihere are somewhat
interested. The President is a man Of
business, and attends to more than the
duties of his office. A short time since
he wrote in one day, a long editorial for
IN Anti Douglas paper in Egypt, Illinois
and a veto message for Gov. Medary, of
Kansas, on the Slavery bill. He hurriedly
enveloped his two documents, and direct
ed them but the issue shows that he
committed a ludicrous blunder. The other
day, the same mail brought the Egyptian
newspaper and the message when, and
to relate, it was found that the paper con-
tanned the Kansas veto message as a
leader, and Medary had sent out a leader
for a country newspaper as a message,
with the addition Of a few lines at the
beginning and ending. to make it tread
right ~ The President blames Douglas
with the trick, but the general belief is,
that he made the mistake himself, by
placing the documents in the wrong enve-

We have no tears to shed over the re.
suit of the recent election in this Terri

Democratic party-would-b leaders. who
hesitate not to depart from the ancient
land marks; who sacrifice principle for

strange gods, stOning the prophets, and
laying waste the kingdom. Experience
is said to be rather an expensive school;
but certain classes learn in no other, and
il some people are not acquiring an eda-
Gallon in hat institution, we miss our
guess.
The result in this Territory is just as
we predicted, when aware that those in
