This Almighty and Beneticiatit God has

Our relations with all other States

striti• leis not been heard in our midst. All
the groat intereste; of the - people have been
eminently prosperous, except only the agri•
cultural, Which, in parts of the State, has
,nib-red front the drought.
With the exception Of a few communities
which claim our sympathies, the blessing,s of
health have prevailed. Our institutions of
wernment have been perpetuated, and eiv
il mill religions liberty' enjoyed by the peo

The devastations of war which are . now so
Sorely afflicting the people of Europe—the
desolations of,,famine and ravages of pesti

These manifold blessings are the gift of
God, and to Him our most devoted thanks
should be offered. Under the solrim'conYie

with the wishes of many good citizens, I, Wil

nothing else, and there is not //illA meaning
in it."— VOL
' Our neighbor of the Votnntcer may be

that the Pierce administration and the

now New York, Illinois, Michigan, .Wis

the same report as Pennsylvania, and yet
the Vattitteer . and won't believe
that.Nobraska is condemned ! Truly
" A man convinced 4tinst his, will
Is of the saute opinion still."
"It was a Know Nothing victory," says
the Volunteer. We grant this, but it
was none the less an Anti-Nebraska vie
tory too. It was emphatically apeople's
victory. \V have never claimed it as
an , exclusively Whig triumphOlor does
.fudge Pollock himself: But we do claim
it as-a condemnation—a most emphatic
ruirdemnation.-----01-the--Pieree-tuul-Doug--
hiss Nebraska outrage. For proof of this
we have Only to point to the dket.q.—
Wiry has Pennsylvania been revolution
ized, Congressional districts overturned,
the Legislature entirely changed, if t,h6
people did init mean it as a rcbuke of the
reckless men in high places, who entrus
ted with power, have so outrageously a
bused it,? The Volunteer replies that
these things were done by the American
party, and points - to the election of Mott
as a proof that the Americans voted fur
candidates regardless of their political
opinions. The L yolunteer overlooks the
important fact, however, that in suppor
ting candidates connected with-the-Leg/s
-hill-Du of the State and- Nation, the . A
mericans have invariably. stippkted either]
,Whig or Democratic Anti-Ni!tra&a men.
This thel' have done intelligently, delib
erately and we may add triumphantly.--
They have not only • given success to A
merican principles, but ;144. have check
ed the career of Slavery aggression and
pronounced the doom of the reckless
Pierce Administration. This is the I
"Meaning" of the triumph. Who so
blind as not to see it?
Th e 1;,/anMer's allusion to a new pa
pereito be started in opposition to the
Ilera1(1, has no terrors fur us. The Vat
?racer has quite as much if not more
reason to dread such an enterprise as we
have. Whatever new • papers ?nay be
startedlmr Course is plain and straight
forward. The flag of the old Carlisle Her
ald has braved the battle, and the breeze
for fifty years.' it has retained the con
fidence and patronage of the sturdy yeo
manry of Cumberland county through
successive generations, and we. think we
may say without. presuinption that we
have no fears as to the continuance of
their support. The sound conservative
national principles which wo and our pre
decessors have ever advocated (though
with feeble ability) we shall continue to
advocate. True American doctrines and
those wise—measures which we believe
necessary to preservd our free institutions .
and transmit them unimpaired to further
generations, will ever recieve front us an
enthusiastic support. 'The prosperity of
the Ile9;a1(1 is based altogether upon -its
usefulness to its readers un i d the.comunt
nity. That it has hitherto been a wel
come visitor at the firesides of hundreds
of thrifty Cumberland county families
we have abundant assurance. It will be
task to maintain its reputation and
thus merit a continuance of that friend
ship which has ao long sustained it. We
ask, therefore, for ito symPathy from the
Volapteer in view of any contemplated I
new paper.

A .despatch from
an Saturday evening
''P.- I Rark 142$ ahead of f'3ey-
tnour. or Liout. Governor, Raymond,
Whig, i conceded to be elected, without
doubt, and the probabilities are that the
Whig candidate for Canal Commis:4(liter
and State Prison Inspector are also elect
ed. In the city of New York, Fernando
Wood, the Soft candidate fur Mayor, is
a t l e ngth conceded to be elected Mayor,
beating Barker, K. N.,. about 1300.
The latter charge Wood's triumph to be
the result of fraud. The W'higs have a
large.majorify in the City Councils. In.
the present Congress the delegation from
New York stands 2'2, democrats, 10
Whigs, 1 Abolitionist. The next. dole..
gation will stand as follows :

•tricts for members of Assembly show...the
election of 78 Whigs; 32 Democrao and
3 Temperance men, Such is the voice
of the Empire State !
ILLTNOISI.
The contest in Illinois has been a warm
one, and public attention has been very
generally interested in the result, as it is
the home of S. A.. Douglass. The Dem
ocratic party was divided on the Nebras
ka question, and though strenuous efforts
were made by Senator Douglass and the
friends of the ,Administration to restore
unanimity, the effort has been futile.—
The State - is represented the present
Congress by 4 Whigs and 5 Dcmoerats,
,with gave three (Democratic) votes foi
tile Nebraska bill and five against it.—
The Nebraska Peinoerats had. r6-notill 7
totted two of the three who Voted fur tht;
bill, Messrs. Allen and Richardson—tht
latter of Nvhom took charge of it in its
passage through the liouse--and
art dcfeated ! In fact the dot'eat of the
Nobraskaites in - .flinois is most signal
and complete. The ".little giant" is re.
Pudiated state, and may *ell
consider the propriety or resigning
seat in the Senate after FUeli a senthing
,palar rebulie.
The returns though not ynt compline
show the eleetion of six Whitr,a and A-
Inerienns with one anti-Aebrasiot Pomo

the Administration is over 10,0001
NV,W JUltsgit.
The. JorFley Mlles have again glorious
ly wheeled into the Whig and American
line. The delegation in the present Con
gress stands four Democrats to one Whig.
The case will stand exactly, the reverse
in the next Congress, as four American
Wings have been elected to one Demo
crat ! In the state tegislatAre, owing
to the holding - over of democrats there
will be a tic in the Senate, but the - Whigs
and Americans will have a derided ma
jority in the llousv. The Whig and an
ti-Nebraska majority on the popular vote
for Congressmen in the State is 6,975.
in 1852 thel2emocratic majority was 6,-
148, thus showing .a loss,to that party
of over 13,0,00 in two years, a sufficient
proof' of the contempt and 'abhorrence in
which the Pierce administration is held
in gallant New Jersey I
•
DIICIIIO,t .
The result of the election in Miebi ! ran
is. a terrible rebuke to Pierce, Cass & Co.
and the members of., Congress from that
State who cast their votes for t he . . Cobra s .:
ka iniquity. Not a single Pierce Nchras

TRUTH FITLY SPOICEN
The Charleston (S. C.) Ereniny .2‘;:ite
has the following reasonable and just re
marks upon the effect of the passage of
the Nebraska bill upon the country, as
demonstrated in the recent elections.
The precise popular effect of the repeal
of the Msssouri Compromise was foretold
Over and over again during the time it
was before Congress.. There were South
ern men' in Congress from North Carolina
Tennesee and Lousiana, who Ived the
sagacity to see the effect of this measure
and the courage to denoUnce it. Multi
tudes at the North, defenders of the con
stitutional rights of the' South, friends of
the Compromise of - 1850, disciples of
Clay and Webster, urged the defeat of
this untoward measure, all in vain.
[Prom tie Charleston ' , Joining Neil's.]
There never was a coMplete or more dis
astrous miscarriage than the Nebra'ska
It has not only blasted every expectation that
was originally formed of it, but it has proved
to its authors IL positive .and unmitigated
curse.„ Instead of giving effect and confir
mation. to the coniprinnise . of 18:10'it 'has
blasted that compynise into , nothingness ;
instead of securing tWo additional slave States
to the Union, it has secured two additional
free States ;
.and, instead of putting an end
to the Free Soil doctrine, it ha's given that
doctrine a power and a respectability which
it never 'possessed belbre, and which, we be
lieve, it could never have attained through
any other medium than that opened by this
hill. We do not.spealc of this in exultation.
Must certainly not. There is much in the
',resent .aspect of things that we deplore;
much that We dill 'OM utmost to prevent, by
king ourlitmost against the passage of the
Hill. -But The responsibility is not with us;
mar duty has been thoroughly discharged.—
Able to do nothing more, we can fitly turp
