The Result.

In the general result of the election we |
have not been disappointed. No who |
read the B,eckinridge papers after Gen. Fos- |
ters Philadelphia speech, but must have been
convinced that the doctrine OF popular sover-
eighty. SO ably def nded by the General, was
distasteful 10 the Administration serfs. ard
that they were determined secretly to vote for
Curtin Such was the orders from w ashing
ton. The aid of the Administration contri-
buted to the defeat of our candidate for Gov
ernor Thousands of votes were imported
from New York, New Jersey and Maryland,
duly assessed and with forged receipts and
perjury on their souls as to to legal residence,
were permitted to vote the opposition ticket
Reliable information from Washington as
sures US, that Mr.. Buchanan aud his Office
holders are the most exultant over the cleo
ton of Curtin. On the Breckinridgeites rests
the responsibility of our defeat.
We clip the above choice specimen of con-
densed falsehocd from the editorial columns
of the Greensburg Argus of last week; pa
per which, although protesting to be demo-
cratic, opposed the democratic State ticket
last year, and has been the mouth piece Of
John W. Forney, in Western Pennsylvania,
during the present campaign. From the
course it pursued since the adjournment of the
Reading Convention up to the Gay of the
eIeetioR, we are inclined to believe that its
editors desired the defeat of Foster, and now
like that model democrat John W. Forney,
are exceeding glad" that the Black Repub
licans have triumphed. They have faithful
/ ly followed in the footsteps of Forney since
1859. When he denounced the action of the
Democratic State Convention held during the
Spring of that year, they denounced it also.
/ When he declared that he would not place at
/ the head Of his paper the Democratic State
ticket, they published a similar declaration,
and adhered to it rigidly as he did. They

mandate Of Forney. floating at the mast head

nounce the friends of Mr. Breckiuridge as
dsunionists. Having thus for two years done
their best to disorganize the democratic party,
having been during that time the obedient
serfs of the renegade FOrney, they are now in
solent enough to charge the National admins

the defeat of Gen. Foster. All the charges
contained iu the above Article are false
1t is not true that the Breckenridge Press OF
this State ever denounced OF objected to any
part of Gen. Fosters Philadelphia speech
For our part we can truly say, that it does
not contain a sentiment which we do not fully
endorse. The National Administration was
anxious for his election, and his most ardent
and enthusiastic supporters we're the friends
of Mr. Breckinridge. In York, Berks, Mon t.
f gomery and other strong Breckinrdge coun-
ties, he received large majorities; while in
