RepubIican Party and the North.

In our recent State election the entire North
.ern part of the State, from East to West, went
Republican, by majorities more nearly approach
ing old times than other parts OF the State;
while the Southern Counties either went OPpo-
sition, or gave very small Republican majorities
This brings to mind a fact that excited remark
in the early days of the Republican party. 1t
was to the effect that the Republican element
prevailed more extensively in the northern part
of any State than in any other part. Such was
the fact everywhere except in New England,
where the Republicans strong all over. In
the Border States, this phenomenon might be ac-
counted for on the principle that the northern
lines Joined free States, and it was natural for
the anti-slavery element to be in that direction.
But in the infancy of Republcanism, and farther
back in the times of Free Soism, we find st.
Lawrence County, New York, the Anti-Slavery
stronghold; susquehanna, Bedford, and Tioga,
III Pennsylvania; the Western Reserve, in Ohio;
the northern Counties of Indiana; and more
tably, the northern Counties of Illinois. This
fact did not arise from any pecularity of the pol
itics of the people of those localities; for in New
York, Pennsylvania, and a portion of Illinois,
those strong Republican Counties had previously
been as strongly Democratic; while in Ohio, they
had been as strongly Wing.
This is a subject upon which political philoso
pliers could devote some thought; and also an
other fact, noticeable in many States-that of
two adjoining Counties apparently having the
same advantages, and settled by the same class
of people, one is Overwhelmingly Republican,
and the other strongly Democratic offsetting
each other in majorities, and holding this posi-
tion for many years in succession. We may refer
to the Counties of Lancaster and Berks, in Penn
sylvania; and Warren and Butler, in Ohio. The
curiosities of politics would be an interesting
study to one who has the time and patience to
study them.

Mean Perseeution.

The commencement of the criminal action
against ex-senator Pomerey was grave mis-
take, and its prosecution has become nothing
more nor less than 4 mean, maiignant Persecu-
tion. There is not decent man In the state
who will not say that the case ought to oe
at once dismissed. Col. York stated IN the pres
ence of several gentlemen, at the notei I'd Dur
lingame, on Wednesday evening, that the case
ought TO be dismissed at once. Col. Alex. John-
son and Hon. Jas. c. Horton said, at the same
time. that il ought never to have been commenc-
ed. The universal sentiment OF the principal
witnesses for the prosecution agreed tnat no ehds
of Justice would be subseryed by fnrther pros
ecntion; that if Mr. Pomeroy had committed an
offense, il bad BEEN amply punished anu tnat
the prosecut on ought TO be dropped as soon as
possIble.
We believe that this is the sentiment OF nine
ty-nine out of every hundred of the people OF
Kansas. The case lOnger excites any pubiic
interest. Nobody in the State except ie~ ma
lignant rascals, who would delight IN the DOWN
fall of any man who has been eminent aud hon
ored, and few venOmons creatures whose hatred
springs frum some feeling of personal revenge,
wants the case prosecuted further. The best men
of all parties unite in the belief that Mr. rome
roy has been bounded and persecnted beyond the
bounds of reasonable Justice, and in the opinion
that be ouSht to be exempt from any further
prosecution.
They remember, too, with gratitude, his long
and useful services in behalf of the State aud It's
people They know that he H. anu always was,a
large hearted, kindly gentleman. There Is hardly
q community in The State that is not more or
less indebted to him for important favors or
services. As Senator he was industrious, ener-
getic, influential and capable, securing for the
State he represented more important legislation
of material benefit to its grUwth and develop
nent than any other Senator representing any
State in the Union ever did before. As man lie
was honorable in his dealing with his felow-men,
courteous and kind to all with whom he came in
contact, and benevolent. And it does seem TO us,
and has always seemed, that this prosecution of
him for an offense which, if all that is charged
is true, was a political offense expiated by pun
ishment at once in q huulilafing defeat is mean,
malignant, aud INDECENT, dishonoring the State
aud its people, mere travesty npon the name of
justice a mockery of right. Let n stop he put to
il as speedily as possible, by dismissal of the
nrocerdiups-IfchisORC Champion.

BUTtER--We wonder if those Western people
who are rejoicing over the defeat of Ben Butler,
consider that they are rejoicing over the down
fall of one of their few Eastern friendsi Ii Is
wellestablished fact, that the East is jealous oil
the West, and does all in her power to keep TINS
section back. Butler had the backbone 10 as
regard this system, and to do the West Justice
Many are under the impression that Butler was
defrated because he was corrupt. This had very
little to do with the result. II the truth was
known, ID would be found that he owes his defeat
to the fact that he voted with the West on the
Currency question Eastern politics, and espe-
eially New England politics, is completely under
the control of the capitalists, money-chang-rs,
and bond holders. Butler was under nobody's
control, bnt voted lie pleased, and has suffered
the consequences. One Ben. Butler would be of
more vane to the West than the entire remain
der of the New England delegation in Congress.
