In New York the Seward candi date for Governor has about 15.000 majority over j the Democratic candidate and, perhaps, ten, or j twelve litiies as miich. over the American. In trie j city of New York, the Democratic majority over the Sewant nominee is nearly 20,000! and over alt Oppo sition, about 12,000- husn a Democratic ain since ■ IS.5>", of about 7000 votes. In N-w Jersey there ar.> three Black Republicans and two Democrats elected to Coflit.ess. In tri - State ih balance of po.ver in the Leej-lat ire, r, held by Die Sttight Aineri- j cans." In Delaware the Democrats achieved a u'o rious triumph, electir .; the Governor, member of Congress and a majority of the I.eeislature. . In Michigan the Black Republican candidate for Gov- j etnor is elected, but the former Opposition majority isjgreatly diminished, whiUtJtbe en c rat haveelec ; ted one, if not two of the four C ongreSstne n. In IS-56, the whole delegation to Congress, was elected bv the Black Republicans. In Illinois the are successful, carry ing their S'ate Ticket ami five of the nine members of Congress. In the Legisla* j ture there is a majority of to for Douglas, which se cures his re-election to the U. S. Senate. In Wis- j consin there are large gains lor the Democrats, though I not sntficieut to vive them a majority in the State. ! Nevertheless, t here is a Democratic gcin of one member of Congress. We had almost forgotten Massachusetts. The "Old Day State," siill belie her nick-name, for she is as black as ever. Ba t.ks (Union-slider) is elected Governor, and the whole delegation to Congress is Black Republican, as it has been since IS-'O. Utah correspondence states that the leading men of that Territory sanguine!)* expect its admis sion into the (,'nion as a State during the next ses sion of Congress. They claim a population of one i hundred thousand, and that the United States has no right to withhold a State Government.

Since the first of August last, elections have been hek! in a number ot Stats, North and South. From the results o'l these elections, we may form some idea of the relative strength of thediiferent political parties and of the proba ble conditions in which they w ill severally en ter in'o the great battle which is to be fought two years hence. In Missouri, Kentucky, Ar kansas, and North Carolina, the Democrats count their gains by thousands and tins ol thou sands, whilst in the remaining Southern States, that have recently voted, they retain the ascen dancy, by their usual majorities. The fourteen Southern Stales that cast tin ir \otes for Ma. BUCHANAN*, in 1 Sr>G, are more firmly D rao cratic. than ever. But in the North, parties and politics are in an unsettled condition. A com bination of the isms opposed to the Democracy, has triumphed in two of the five Northern States that voted for MR. BUCHANAN, \ iz : Penn sylvania and New Jersey. The remaining three, Indiana, Illinois and California, (the last named by a largely increased majority) are slip Democratic. The rest of the Northern States, with the exception of Minnesota, lemain Black Republican, as they were in 18.~>t>, although in most of them there are heavy Democratic ains. For instance, in New York, the I), mocr.icy are beaten by about In,ooo, whilst Fremont's ma jority over Buchanan, was 80,000 and the com bined vole of Fremont and Fillmore exceeded that of Buchanan 200,000! Tins shows a Democratic gain in this State in two years of 05,000! In Maine, Massachusetts and even in Vermont, there are Democratic gains. In lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, the Black R •- publican majorities are gn at iy reduced and in each of the last two the D -inocrats gain a mem ber of Congress. In short, the vote uf the North is cons .Drably less emphatic against the Democracy than it was two years ago. Dema gogues may talk about the p.ople rebuking the Administration, but they can not make figures lie,and when they come to count tin ir anti-Dem ocratic majority in the Northt i n Stales that have just spoken, tin y will find Ihems..! vi s decidedly unable to cipher it up as large as in 85d. In Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin, ail of which were formerly Democratic, the Democ racy have once more obtained a foot-hold, by electing some of their candidates for Congress. The tendency of three States is now toward their first love and the Black R publicans are already apprehensive of ilnir return to the Democratic column in ISfiO. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the success ol the Opposition will prove but temporary, their supremacy in these Mates, whenever they obtained it, having always been spasmodic and short-live I. The shrewd and calculating tneu of the Opposition, even now concede these States to the Demo crats at the next election. j Thp result in New Yoil;, notwithstanding the defeat oi the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, is ominous to the Opposition, ft is a triumph for Seward and the ultra-B!ack-Re publicans. ft is the annihilation of Crittenden; it scatteis the so-called "People's Parly " to the tour winds of heaven. It dtaws deeper and darker the line of demar hat ion between the -[ Black Republicans and the Americans, and forces the latter to maintain a separate organi zation, or, if they would preserve whatever is national in their creed, to unite with tire De mocracy. It does all this, because Morgan, : the Governor elect, is the representative of the I Seward paitv, and because he < Morgan) suc ceeded not only over the Democratic candidate, but also over the American, thus placing Sew j ard in the foreground, as the choice of the Op i position in New York, for President in 1860. j il. nce, in making up our opinion as to the nature and issue of the next Presidential cam paign, when we remember that the whole | South, u ilh the exception J Mary land, is firm ly with IV,e Hernocr atic pariy, that the Oppo sition to the Democracy tn the North, did not show near so formidable a front at lire last tlec tion as in 1856, that Seward the great section ; alts', will probably be the Black Republican nominee, and that the Americans will have a 1 candidate ot their own in the field, we can not arrive at any other conclusion than that a Democratic President w ill again be chosen on ' the fiit f'uesdav of November, 1860. - JIDGE 1)01 G LAS. \\ hatever may be the relations which Judge Doug as;u-tains toward the Democratic- patty : of l lie nation, one thing is certain —he lias- un horsed the chosen champion of Black Kepubli cin ism in Illinois and roabed the Opposition ol a triumph which they confidently and fondly anticipated ; and whatever go>d, or ill, his re election to the U. S. Senate, may bring to the i li teracy, it is not to be denied that Ins suc cess has demoralized the Black Republican or ganization in Illinois and has laid on the shelf one oi the iTio-t talented and untiring of its leaders. \V hen at the beginning of the last session of Congress, Judge Douglas opposed the Kansas policy ol President Buchanan, the BIUCK Republicans wife loud in their praises ;ol his independence, and literally bedizened his name with their glittering laudations. Of late, however, they have acquired a distaste for his "independence" and they now begin to j think that Douglas isn't so patriotic after all. j : VY tiat a pity that they have b en compelled to j change their opinion of the "Little Giant" and i : how saJ that they should have Been defeated i by the very man they fain would have recei- j ved into their organization ! Alas! and alack 1 j and a well-a-day ! WILL MR. WILLIAMS RESIGN I „ - .— w. ttie con stitution ot Pennsylvania, declares that "Each county shall have ct least cue Rep- 1 tcse/ilutive, but no county hereafter erected shall he entitled to a separate representation until a sutiicient number of taxable inhabitants ' shati tie contained within it to entitle them to one Representative, agreeably to the ratio j which shall then be established." This clause was contained in the Constitu tion of 1 oDO and forms, in the same identical language, a part of our present Constitution. By this provision, every county in the State, which was established prior to 1750, is separate ly and individually entitled to at least one re presentative. Bedford county, as every body knows, was erected previous to that date, arid, thei eiore, has a jUst and Constitutional claim to "I lensf one representative, independent of any connexion with any other county. This iact being established, the question arises, dij the framers of the Constitution intend when tin-v granted one representative to Bedford count v, that Somerset should choost that representative, and not Bedford itself ? Did th. y intend that if Bedford cast 200S votes for (I metal Burns and but ISOb lor George W. Williams, that Wil liams should be considered elected as that representative merely because he was prefer- j red to Gen. Bums by the people of another ; county I Most assuredly not. It would have ! eeri the cliui ix of nonsense, 11 say tftat a conn- ! ty "shall have a! least one representative, but ' such representative shall he chosen Lv the pen- j pie of another county !" Will Mr. Williams, therefore, set at defiance the Constitution which, if lie claims his si at, he must svv. ar to support, or will he like a man who r-j. cts his own dignity and honor, decline to be toe representa tive of a people who have so emphatically ' refused to accept the services he has v Inn- : leered ? X/ Ihe Somerset ll*rnhl iS" IV/ti<r seems to imagine that unless it dabbles in Bedford county; nflairs every now an i then, tilings do not move on here as they should. Regularly about ci cea m ,n!h, its redo iMibD editors make a furious d scent up in lhe"Old G iz>te," threat ening us with utter d.-mohsWnf, hut some | how or, other, w • always manage to sun ive. The editors of the / Lml I S* Whir must suppose either that their parly friends here are unable to take c. re of themselves, or that their lucu brations are greatly relished by the people uf this county, that they d ev o te so much attention to our affairs. We would recommend to their j assiduous and careful study, the lines of Burns, "Oh ! wad some power the giftie gie us 1 o see oursels as others see us, It wad frae monie a blunder free us And foolish notion."

During the year that has passed, probably moi* than a hundred thousand readers have eagerlyopened the tium beis of the ATLANTIC MONTH* as they have appeared, and turned first to these inimitable articles.

It furnishes a largr quantity ot wholesome, amusing and instructive reading and lis pictorial illustrations are always pure and chaste. Price £>'.l,oo per annum. Ur Our position that Bedford county was j defrauded in the last Apportionment of Menu j beis cl the Legislature, is met by the assertion , that Cambria was once connected with Bed ; lord in a representative district, and that the Democrats were well satisfied with that arrange ; merit. True, but Carnbiia had nut at that time, as Somerset has now, a sufficient number ol laxabies to entitle it to a representative by it self. It was necessary that Cambria should be attached to some other county. Not so \v dii 'Somerset. That courtly is entitled to one mem ber and, therefore, it was unnecessary to join it j with Bedford. The apologists of this Appor ; tionment fraud, must try some other argument, ; if they expect to hide tile villany they desire to ; screen. Resignation of Gov. Dearer. Guv. D enver retires from the office of Gov | ernor of Kansas with the respect and corsfi- I deuce of all parties. Jlis address is moderate atni sensible. Unlike some ol Ins predecessois, or political a pirations. Mis sole object has been to produce quiet and order. In this laudable undertaking he has succeeded, and now he abandons office with the regret ot the people of Kansas as well as ol the General Administration. His address upon re signing oliice is a sensible document. The sug gestions are valuable. It points out the way by which ali difficulties in the Territory hav ing been quieted, the duties ol the Governor will hereafter be plain and simple, and such as j can be performed by any man of common sense, who has no special "axe to grind." Gov. Denver does nut retne in disgu-t, but because he considers tile object ot his mission accomplished, in the restoration of quiet to Kan sas. We have faith in this p'-ace being lasting. I'he condition of the future Siate ot Kansas Is settled, and we presume no sensible man in I fie country questions that it will be a free Siate. ! file struggles for supremacy have ended.— i What the Territory now needs is repose. A few years quiet devotion to agriculture and trade will give it wealth and population. Gov. Denver discourages the immediate organization 1 of a Stale government, because there is not a ! dollar in the Tieasury, hut little taxable prop- j erty, and the burdens <d' a State would be a heavy load for the people to bear. Prudence would undoubtedly dictate that the Territory j should remain until the people are able to beu'i the taxation necessary to maintain a State; but | the eager politicians cannot wait so long. The j embryo United Stales Senators and Governors are impatient to develop themselves, and aie opposed to any other settlement than one that settles them comfortably in oliiee. This will 1 induce an application lor admi.-sion into the U nion at the eailiest possible moment. — JJurris burig Union. SHALL WE HAVE CIVIL WAR ? A contemporary says that Ihe Rochester j speech of Senator Sew aril is creating a profound j | sensation in the country. The conservative! Republicans are frightened by such bold and o pen treason against the Union, and such an o- ! pen Proclamation of War against fifteen States ! j-ol :llp countly. Uerrit Smith, Theodore Parker ! and V\ illiaui Lloyd Garrison, go not so far as Seward in declaring a crusade against the South. ' \\ hoever voted the Republican State ticket en- ! "dorsed this heresy of the leader of the Repuhli- ; ran party, lot lite speech was made to aid it, and Mr. Morgan. The political issue submitted to the people of that Stale is boldly and wickedly slated by William H. Sew aid to be, "whether the cotton and rice fields of isouth Ciroliiia, and the sugar plantations of Louisiana shall ultimately be til led by free labor, and Charleston and New Or leans become marls for legitimate merchandise alone, or whether the rye and wheat fields of Massachusetts and New York shall be again | surrendered by their farmers to slave culture! and to the production of'slaves, nnd Boston mid Xtw York become once more markets for trade in the bodies and souls of men A We have Jived in peace with the South since 17 iand in IBOS a Senator in Congress de clares that nothing short of a civil war and con quest will avail lor the future. Merchants, mechanics, men of labor, and men of profes sions, join in rebuke of a sentiment wanting in all that is manly, just and patriotio, A POINTED f'OLLOQEF. The following dialogue is said to have oc curred a few days since between two oppjften ts of in Boston : I met at the dinnes table the other day our old friend M , who last year was a shrieker second only to Henry Wilson. At the first glance 1 saw he was for playing shy. Says 1, alter the usual greetings were over How goes the good cause up in Berkshire ? "Lame" was his curt reply. "Lame, enough, sir." By this do you mean there is defection in our ranks in your section "1 mean just this arid no more"—said .\L, filling his gob!et with Scotch ale—"l have read eveiy thing on our side from Stunner's bulletins to SACK VILLE'S letters, and have come to the conclusion that Banks is a humbug and tin* Re publican party an abortion." And this you say in (be midst of victories we have achieved all over tfie country ? "All fudge sir. We are eternally gaining victories precisely when no earthly use can be made ol them. So it will be now. Our oppo nents are, and have been, too busy in Ifieir ar rangements lor 1860 to tioubie themselves much about a few State elections. When their corns an* all laid we shall find ourselves in a Democratie trap, just as we did in 1556. fhe fact is, Mr. Sackville, we have triumphed in recent elections, because we could not help it. The negro does wonders at the north, in making governors and such small fry, but it is a poor nag when put upon the national course." Frazcr River. The laf. at news from Frazer River is unfavo rable. J'lie river had (alien, but failed to re veal the auriferous sands in the anticipated a i bundance. As one efiecf, several "projected" i cities had vanished. Such miners as had claims, however, were at work, with variable success; I but as the number of those possessing claims are ! only a small portion of the w hole, and all the | rich ground yet discovered having been taken up, many were [leaving in disgust. The San I ranciscu Bulletin gives its views on the subject 1 as follows: "W nether there are any extensive gold fields at tf r— head of the Fraser or Thompson river, is . not yet settled. Sufficient time has not been a I lowed for 'prospecting' in that distant and i i accessible region. It will be a year before the | gold iriimng capacity of British Columbia is ful ly known. Ihe bais in the bed ot Eraser river ; are being worked with good tesulls. In some places, it i 3 complained that the pay dirt does not hold out to any great depths—but this bict : does not appear to be fully sustained by the proof at tiand. In short, the condition of affairs in British Columbia may be summed up in one sentence : There are more miners tin re t 1 an can find diggings ; the idle are returning disgusted, abusing the country ; those busy are op. rating quietly, keeping tlieir own counsel, hut are undoubtedly doing well ; even if 'dry 1 diggings' be discovered, it will not be possible to do much upon them until next season ; and in the meantime, the people at V ictoria may expect to see pretty 'hard times.' I'iobably more than half the Californians in that region will return to our State during the next three months—some never to go back, and some de termined to :ry again' next season." In these opinions the San Francisco Herald substantially concurs. It says "the gold which was expected to be found in such marvellous quantities did not exist, save in tfie imaginations STRANUE MORTALITY AVIUM; CATTLE.— WE have been informed by a gentleman ol Waine : township in this county, that his neighbor, Mr. Daniel Stewart, lost a number of caitie undei circumstances not a little mysterious. One Lav : he found a fine heifer lying d. ad, without any j visible marks of violence about her. He skin ned her and found a slight wound above tbe hook joint, as it bitten by a clog. The next day he found another one dead, and alter skinning j it found a precisely similar mark in the same ! place. The next day lie found mother ol his j cattle going about, with ttie same kind of a i wound in the same place, and badly swollen, fie immediately bled it by cutting off its ears and tail, and the animal seems to be improving at last accounts. On the day follow ing the discovery of ttie last named bea.,t another a large ox —was found dead, and alter being skin ned there were no marks whatever to be found upon it. Mr. Stewart and his neighbors are at a loss to account for the sudden and mysteri ous death o! his cattle, as the slight wounds dis covered were entirely too trilling to cause death under any circumstances.— lVuyiiesbur<e .Mes sengerx ft NNY STORY. —One day last week a num ber of persons were amusing themselves [/itch ing three arid five cent pieces into the mouth of an old "gemman oh color," generally known j as "Llje," the great natural speller.
