I>. OVER—Editor and Proprietor.
The next Coiigrress.
Elections havo been held for Congressmen
in nineteen States. In both branches the dis
tinct Republicans uill be iQ a minority.
Whether the mnjorijy composed as it is of the
friends of Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge,
can be efficiently controlled or not is for time
to determine. In Massachusetts the Republi
can Congressman, Buriingamo, and in New
Jersey. Gov. Pennington, have been defeated.
These losses arc to be regretted We have,
however, gained one in Delaware and oue in
Wisconsin. We gain one aud lose three in
New York. The delegations from the West
ern States appear to be without change.
Nor GUILTY. —Iloeloff toe oouduotor, and
Armstrong the engineer, of the train which
killed two men iu llnctugdou during the en
campment, were up for trial in that Court
last week. The charge of manslaughter could
not be sustaiued against either of tbem by the
evidence, and consequently both were acquit
ted. The evidence went to show that the
engineer and brakesmen done ali io their pow
er to check the speed of the train before it
passed the Station, but the oonditiou of the
track, which was very slippery, caused by tain
and being walked upon by the crowd above and
below the Station, made it impossible to check
iinspeed, the wheels slipping on the rails after
they had beeu locked. The only sure way to
avoid accidents of the kind is to keep off the
ttaek at all times.
REPUBLICS NOT UNGRATEFUL. —The year
iu which Mount Vernon become the property
of the Union by the efforts of American wo
men, consummated the purchase of the Grulii
by the school children of Switzerland, at a
cost of sil,ooo. The Grulii, near Aldorf,
and the birthplace of Tell, i* the spot where,
in the fourteenth century, three brave uien en
tered into u secret combination to rid toe
country of its oppressors, a movement which
soon extended to the other cantons. The sale
of this plaoe. dear to ever Swiss, was con
cluded on the ono uuodredth birthday of
Schiller.
HOWARD ASSOCIATION. —This institution,
established by -.pectad endowment for the re
lief of the sick and distressed, is one of the
truly benevolent enterprises of the a'ge. It
enjoys a wide reputation in the cure of nil dis
eases to which flesh is hoir. Its services are
dispensed to those in extretn* poverty free cf
charge. he call the special attention of lite
afflioted to their advertisement in our adver
tising columns
The income of John C. Fremont from Lis
gold mines is set down at $2,000 per day.—
His establishment is something immense. He
runs 88 stampers by wat u r power night sod
day, crustiiog 90 tntu of quartz every 24
hours, which is brought to the mill on a private
railroad. A net income of §600.000 a yea',
if properly invested, will make him rich, and
"Jessie" is probably HS well off as if he had
been elected President.
Virginia has gone for Bell by a small plu
rality. Missouri it is now thought has gone
for Douglas by a small plurality. Late news
from California leave the t*tate uncertain be
tween Liueoln and Douglas, with the chances
in favor of Douglas. Oregon, it is thought has
gone for Lincolu. This would increase Lin
coln's vote to 176 electors or 49 over all op
position-
THK TKILMPH IN ILLINOIS.— Tho Republi
can triumph in this State was thorough sua
complete. Besides giving a large majority for
Lincoln, tt has elected a Republican Governor
and State Legislature. This secures the re
election of Judge Trumbull to the United
States ""Serrate, linking the victory doubly
glorious 1
REPUBLICANS IN TUB SOUTH. —The Re
publicans had a plurality of over £OO in St.
Louis, „iid 200 tu Wilmington Delaware.
They polled over a thousand votesiu Baltimore,
and £OO in Wheeling and Ohio county, Vir
ginia Who will say that light is uot break
tug ou the South ?
Lincoln polled live hundred votes in Alle
gheny coniny, Maryland. The probability is
that the Republican vote in that State will
exceed tw > thousand. In Newport aud Cov
ington, Kentucky, Lincoln had more votja than
Breckinridge.
tl sunning, the kidnuppVs trial, has been
put off to next Court. He ut uow out under
bond ot only §l,OOO. The general impression
is, that be will forfeit his bail, and put out.
Next Thursday, instead of last., as we stinted
Jasd week, is Thanksgiving day.
PEOPLE'S MEM.
Pursuant to notice B very Urge meeting as
sembled in the Court House on Tuesday even

Alter the organization of the meetiug, Hon.
Alex. King offered the Resolutions, to be found
below, which were adopted unanimously. llou.
F. Jordan was then called upon, and respond
ed in quite a leugthy speech, m which he was
frequently applauded. Hon. A. King, then
addressed the crowd in some pertiuent remarks,
after which the meeting adjourned with three
o'oeers for our gallant standard berers iu the
late contest.
Resolved, That the great results of the re
cent. election in the United States afford
abundant cause for sincere and heartfelt con
gratulation on the part of all who contributed
to produce them, no; because a victory over a
party has been achieved, but because the prin
ciples advocated by the fathers of the republic
have tieeu triumphantly vindicated and sus
tained, thus giving assurance of a speedy re
turn, in the administration of the government,
to a sound policy ami H true political faith.
Resolved, That, us citizens of Pennsylva
nia, whe have so long and so grievously suf
fered under the baneful policy of the so called
Democratic party, we bail the prospect now
presented of liberal encouragement to her
great industrial interests, aud a renewal of the
good times that followed the Tariff act of
1842.
Resolved, That wo have advocated the elec
tion of Andrew G. Onrfiu, and of Abraham
Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, solely with the
hope of establishing the principles uud promo
ting the interests we regarded as iuvolvcd in
the suceess of these oaudidalis, Hnd that as
long as they steadfastly stand by and maiutiin
theui, by all the influence in their power, we
will yield to them our cordial support.
Resolved, That we deplore and lament the
madness and folly that proposes disunion
and secession, on the flimsy pretext that a
majority of the people of the IJuited States
have exercised the right of elevating to the Chief
Magistracy the candidate of their choice, and
stuceroly trust that the good sense and patriot
ism of our {southern brethren will indued an
early abandonment of such a scheme.
Resolved , That in the present state of af
fairs, it is the duty of the people everywhere
to express and maintain their Sdelity to the
Union of the State*, and pledgo themselves to
the support and maintenance of the rights of
the people in every Stat*, slaveholding or free,
but at the same tim to declare their readiness
to stand by and defend the Union iu every
emergency.
Resolved, That we have the fullest confi
dence in the conservative views of the Presi
dent elect, and that when he assumes the reins
of government, he will provo himself to be the
Piosideut of Hie whole country, and discharge
the high functions of his office according to
the letter and spirit of tbe Constitution, aud
with a due regard to the rights of every part
of the Uniou.
The South Carolina Legislature.
The proceedings in the South Carolina L-gis
lature are decidedly interesting at this time.
The following is from the account of the Sen
ate proceedings on Saturday iast :
Mr. Rhett, from the Committee on the Col
lege, Education, aud Religion, presented u
favorable report on the House special eomuiit
tbe iu relation to a day of fasting, humiliation,
and prayer, wtiieh was concurred in and re
turned to the House.
,Wo shouid think it very appropriate for
South Carolina to set apart a day for fasting,
humiliation and prayer, and it was peculiarly
proper that a report for such a purpose should
bo made by Mr. Khett.
In the House, a financial measure beiug un
der consideration.
Mr. De Saussure thought if tho House un
derstood the nature of the bill it wculd meet
with singular unanimity. Tho bill has three
clauses: First, to suspend the act of 1857,
requiring the bauk to have one-third gold aud
one-ibird silver iu its treasury, for two-thirds
of its issue : the second clause proposes that
the penalty involved by the act of 1840 be
suspended until 1862 ; aud the other clause,
to suspend the act of 1852, which forbids the
t.mks from payiug out from their counters the
bills of other batiks. To the committee it
had appeared a wise and discreet measure to
give t lie people a much facility as-possible iu
carryiug out the revolutionary spirit of tho
State. In giving the banks this facility, the
committee agreed with singular unauimity, and
proposed the two additional sections, as uu
amendment, to give still more security to tho
people.
The bill al.so the following reso
lution :
Resolved, That the resignation of the Hon.
James Chesuut, as one of the United States
Senators from South Carolina, be accepted,
uu i that what under any other circumstances
would have tieen regarded with regret is
now recognized as an act of loyalty au.l de
votion to the State of South Carolina.
Ihe following resolutions were effofed iu
the House by Mr. Simouton :
Resolved,'i hat his Excellency the Govern
or be authorized to call for and secure tbe
services of ten thousand voluutecrs, for the
defence and protection of toe State. That
these volunteers, as they shall bo received,
shall be divided, uudcr the supervision of the
Governor, into regiments of artillery, light
infantry and infantry, and into brigades and
divisions, so that no company shall consist of
more than one hundred privates, wi:h proper
offi-ers, commissioned aod uon-comujirsiouod,

i which offices any citizen cf this State shall be
j eligible. That the said cottjpatnes, regiments,
i brigades, and divisions shall he provided with
the best arms and equipments, und shall be
drilled and instructed at such times and places
as ihe Governor may prescribe.
Resolved, that Ins excellency the Governor

best possible muuuer, aud bo nulled and lU
i etruoied at sueli times, iu sue'i iinen r, uui at
i such places a the Governor iinv direct.
Iu tne Senate, again, the bill to call a Gnu
i veutioriof tbeSiate under consideritiou :
Mr. Riiett said that they had now arrived at
| the end of the great Legislative struggle. He
i thanked bis God that lie hit i lived to see t'.—
: This was a great day. It was to witness the
: beginning of a movement wtitch was to shake
i this continent to its Very centre. 'lhe revo
lution wis now HI its cradle, and IN: was proud
| that it had r.cvtt r...-erv d for our no ble little
| irtalC 'o tie u> author. lie felt that We were
I nb oit fo lay the found ttiuu of a republic which
would be, iu iis dost ny, ureal, glorious, aud
happy for u ..u oar pott rity.
For the laquiier.
Mr. EDITOR: —Ihe election is over, arid the
I re-uh known. Yet the majorities everywhere
; have goue fur he von I the expectations of the
' most sanguine Republican, an 1 especially the
overthiow of shun Democracy in Bedford Co.
jby such a hand-owe majority. The lotiueuoe
: ot fchB,Tat), and whiskey, was not fell quite
is strong as in the October election, aud '.bis
will account, in par", tor our gains in Bedford
| Cuuuty.
We claim to be the hauuer Township, und 1
think we are entitled to if, although wo must
attribute iu p.-.rt our success to a would-be
grand Duuiocraiie rally held in Woodbury a
few days previous to ibe election. The ora
tors were one Irishman, J. R. Flock, j who
made a pretty respectable speech:) then fdllOw
j ed the great t xpounitr of Loco o foro
j merly a Know Nothing agent ui S >ut*rs*t Go.,
j and at pre-ont the editor of the Bedford <ia
j zet'e, who pite e l into t)id Abe wt'li a ven
geance. lie vim t1 d his deniocr tie friends
i unity gon-i tilings ab"jt iheir party, and t io.e
| that were discouraged he southed, and said,
'"we will bury the Blank Kepu-'lie .n party
| forty luiies below P.tNburg.'' But the veoer
j able prophet proven t) be an impostor, <r at
! least his predictions proved preposterous, with
j ono exception, and lhat waw Shoot savin* the
; Union. .So we took the advantage of it, for
we believed in saving tho Union, and ny s.row
j iug our devotion lo the Union, we gave Hon
! est Old Abe the handsome majority of 122.
| The Don glas faction of Democracy are in
\ reality the most disgusted sinoo the election,
ilt is no wonder, after being sold out, "body
; and breeches," to Breokinridge, Fusion, eon
! fusion, Wise Yancey & Co. Who would not
be disgusted, after he had vot >d for a set of
j political gamblers, who are traitors to the
i Union, and are aspiring to tear it into frug
] ineiit', in case the majority of too people of
the United States prefer somebody else to
i govern tlieui instead of those Southern firc
j cat irs who are now holding the reins of our
j Government ?
But the 4:h of Mireh is coming, when Lin
j culn will be inaugurated, and the government
placed on a footing that wi,l bo creditable to
■ our uation; and if, after his inauguration, such
traitors as W Le, lanjey A C'>. continue their
| treasonable designs, they will share the fate of
Old John Brown and his niggers. Yes, hang
them as high as Harnm!
Much credit is due to James Madara, Esq.,
for his inanly efforts in bringing out the voter*
of Blooinfield. They came in wagons, to with
in a short distance of \V mulberry, where tbey
were :net by tlie Woodherry Republican Club,
and martial band, when they all got out of
I their wagons, formed themselves ino single
tile, and with banners, mottoes and music at
! the head, (by order of Gapt. George Strayer)
i they marched through town to tho polls aud
1 deposited th<-ir votes, an ! left again in a few
hour-, peaceably aud respectably.
i'hc schools of Middle Woodberry Town
ship all opened on he |£t!i inst., and are
promising tuir te advance the cause of educa
tion. Much good feeling exists between the
' Toaehere and Directors, which is an omen of
j good -uecet-s to the schools. The selection of
I Mr. Stgifoo-, us County Superintendent, is
i considered it vety good and appropriate one.

were carried in the procession, bearing tbo
names of Lincoln and Hamlin, and various
oiber mottoes.
After the marching was over, the immense
crowd gathered around the Young Amencau

tiie following extract from ihe circular of the
Penna. Bible Society :
'•Our fund* are oocasioeally called for in

RECEPTION OF THE RETURNS.— The Spring
held (111.) correspondent of the tit. Louis
Democrat gives an amusiug acoouut of the
reception of the election returns, on Tuesday
night, at Springfield, 111., the home of Mr.
Linoolu, the Piesideut elect. Wc make a few
extracts :
Scattering returns from Wisconsin came
uloug, mixed iu with news disnatches, indicat
ing republican gains. Ten o'clock struck, and
the inquiry for New Yoik began to grow im
patient, "Why don't we have something from
New York 1" and "I wish we could get word
from New York," was the eurrout expression.
Soon alter came the announcement that Wheel
ing had given 6UO votes for Lincolo ; Balti
more, 1,062: aud Alexandria, Va., 10 repub
lican votes ; aud little Delaware, 200 majori
ty in Wilmington, and a gain of a republican
(Jungressuiau. These bits of news from Vir
ginia, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware, were
duly communicated io the Stare-house, and
produced a fresh ootbuist of enthusiasm.
About midnight a dispatch arrived at the
telegraph utliee from Siuieou Draper, announc
ing that the city of New York complete gave
toe fusiontsts only 27,600. B was carried to
Mr. Lincoln, and a implicate sent to the State
House. Jt is utterly impossible to describe
the scene which cu.-ued. As Mr. Lincoln read
it, ladies and gentlemen closed iu and over
whelmed him with congratulations. "Oh, you
are elected now," said the ladies, and "It is
all safe," said the gentlemen.
At the Statu House it was tivc times as bad.
Men pushed each other—threw up their hats—
hurrahed —cheered for Lincoln—cheered fur
Trumbul!—cheered for New York—cheered
for everybody—and souie actually laid down
ou ;bu carpeted floor and rolled over aud over.
It was some tnuo before order could Le re
stored to read tbe dispatch from Draper a
secoud time —"New York 50,000 majority for
Lincoln !" And then another fceue —"Did
you hear that"—Where's Douglas"—"llit
. inui agaiu"—"Three cheers fur the Empire
State." These are only a sample of the re
marks.
The applause was tremendous. Tbe Illinois
State House uuver heforo heard such a noise,
and probably never will again. It is beyond
description, aud as this was the culminating
point of doubt, groups commenced to leave—
not >o go to bed —but to let the town know the
result. Some went one way, and some uuoih
er, yelling like demons,# "New York 50,000
majority lor Lincoln 1" "Whoop, whoop,
hurrah
Aud Springfield went off like one immense
Cabuoo repoit, with sboutiug from houses,
shouuug (torn stoics, shouting trom housetops,
and shouting everywhere. Parties rau through
tne streets rouging "Alut i gUd I've joiued
tbe republicans," till they were too hoarse to
speak.
SIGNIFICANT. —Kentucky aud Oregon have
repudiated Breckinridge aud Laue. Georgia
has repudiated Johnson. Massachusetts uas
repudiated Everett. llliuoL has eudorsed Lin
cola Jay 15,000 majority, and Maine has eu
doisct iiaiuiin by 20,000 maj.
In the district of Virginia known a? the
"Panhandle," Lincoln received nearly four
teen hundred votes.
A monument is to be erected in Mobile to
tho memory of Walker, the lillibust^r.

rear of a chapel ut No. 35 Rue de Ricpus, iD
Patis. lie says:
"We asked the guardian why there was not.
a monument over tbe grave of Lafayette, and
he replied that Louis Phillipe, (who almost
owed his position to Lafayette,) had always op
posed any national movement in that way, and
that the other families who owned vaults thore
object to any invasion upon tho affected sint
i plicity of the place. It is, nevertheless, a dis-
I grace that there is not a single montinent iD
France, not even over his grave, to the memo
ry of tbe great and pure patriot. In France
there are so many parties and so mmy politi
! cal opinions, that it is not strange, perhaps,
that no one is found to take the initiative in
sueb a measure, for here the memory of Lafay
ette has still enemies as well as friends; but
tbe Americans, who only know Lafayette as
the generous friend and accomplished soldier
could, with propriety, take the initiative.
Now AND THEN.— The Press of Wednesday
morning last, had the annexed short editorial,
comparing the result of tho election of tbe prc
cediug day with that of years previous:
"Yesterday there was stuck up at all the
polls of this city, by order of Mr. Buchanau'a
office-holders, a large placard, at the bead of
which, iu large letters, was of John
W. Forney!'' The effect of this war of Mr.
Buchanan's Administration upon John W. For
ney and ail other Democrats who opposed Lis
treason to the parry, may be seeu iu the result
of the elcotion yesterday. Four years ago, the
name of John \V. Foruey, us ofiairmiu ot the
Executive 'Jouuuittee, wis everywhere etubla
zonsJ on the ban tiers of tbe party as its chosen
leader; aod the effect was seen iu the election
of that year. Then the Democratic party p-oll
od seventy thousand more vote* than the Re
publican.-; now it polls seventy thousand less.
The principle of Popular Sovereignty was then
its platform: now, a slave codo fur the Terri
tories is its doctrine. Let the past teach Dem
i oerats beware of all traitors *.u their priooi
• pie*."
A CALIFORNIA ROMANCE.— The Bt. Louis
papers leli a strange story of one John llard
wick, Pittsburg mechanic. In 1853 he went
'o California, leafing a wife and two children
behind. Reaching tbo land of gold, he dag
pile, which his partner stole from him. Then
be 'ell sick, and recovered only to find him
self quite impoverished, feeble, discouraged,
lie wrote frequently to his wife, but she did
not receive his letters, nor did aoy from ber
reach him. He concluded that she was glad
te get rid of him, so he began to dig —
lr. the meantime, the wife mourned f.>r"biui as
, ouo the naturally married again and re
moved to St. Louis. Her first children died
and she boro two more to the second husbaud
who after a time died also. Within a month'
Hardwick, the California adventurer, having
uccurmlated a fortuue, came toward* tbo East
traveling by the overland route. Stopping in
S'. Louis, ho walked about the city, looking
at the town. While so engaged he met his
wife. Mutual explanations followed. The
dead children received the tribute of paternal
tears, and the new ones were welcomed with
affection. Then a clergyman united the pair
for u second time, and all parties soon left St.
Louis.
The Soothing System.
If tho Chivalry require an acknowledgment
from u* of oor obligations to them for breakii g
up the lati Democratic Natioual Convention
and patty, we are ready to give it. They did
u* good service in cieaiing and smoothing the
vray for Lmcoln's election; we might or might
not have elected him without their aid, but the
enterprise was uiueh easier and surer with that
aid. Such favors are not often accorded as be
iwe"u political adversat iea; and we do oat tnesn
to f>rget a good turn, no matter who uid it.
We have won the election, as <*e meant and
they meant we should; aud now if thy want a
dozen or two good fellows kept in office though
Mr. Lincoln's Administration, we think them
entitled to ask and receive. If they rirefer
that we'should wear our laurels meekly, and
not evince any immoderate or offensive exulta
tion, we can otily say that we have scduouslv
repressed ail exuberance of spirits ever sinco
the deed was done. Never did a party win so
great a victory aud make eo little fuss about it
as tits Republicans have just done. Rut when
the gaibling Fusion journals presume upon
this so far as to infer that, in view of the se
cession flurry, we are sony that vrc succeeded!
nay, when they go the length of advisiug Mr.
L'ocoltt to decline, and urging the Lincoln
electors to betray their trust, aud vote for some
anti-Repub:icin for Ptesident!—we must tell
them that they grossly misjudge us. We arc
not a bit sorry for Lincoln's success—on the
contrary, we like it hugely: an i the antics of
the Chivalry trtrly make us gladder aud gladder
that they have ceased to be our rulers. And
let them nullify, secede, form a new Southern
Republic, or Go what they will, we -hall still
be glad tb . t Lincoln is elected.
Nor do We propose to exphin, or qualify, or
ask pardon for, our late triumph Wo went in
to elect Lincoln and that is the simple aod
brief explanation of our vote.
\\ hec we were beaten foul years since, mme
of the victors thought of soothing or consoling
us. None of them even proposed to hold meet
iocs aud implore us In stay in the Union.
Nobody proposed a repeal of the atrocious laws
whereby Northern seamen are imprisoned in
Mouthern ports for t'ue crime of being black.
On the contrary, the Oliivalry tuado themselves
merry over Sumner's broken head, tbo 'shrieks*
of Kansas, and other such fuDtiy things. The
victors exulted as much HS they saw fit, and no
ono murmured, 'Why do ye so*" We held our
peice and bided our nine, and we advise the
Chivalry to profit by our example. They may,
while still smarting under the pangs of defeat,
devise a course which seems more heroic, but
the quietest way is tire bast.—A*. Y. Tribune.
TREATMENT OF SENAOR DOUGLAS IN AL
AUSMA. l ite Southern Confederacy vouches
for the truth of the following story.
"A gentleman, aud a member of the Breck
inridge party, inform* us that he was present
when Judge Douglas arrived in Montgomery
from Columbus, on tbe night of the Ist of No
vember. This gentleman, whose statement
'has been corroborated by a half dozeu eye wit
nesses says that when Judge Douglas alighted
from the carriage to sscend the steps of tbe
Exchange Hotel, Montgomery, that there were
three rotten eggs thrown. The first egg struck
Coi. Scibles, editor of the Confederacy, the
second egg struck Col. Elmore, and the third
egg struck the hut of Judge Douglas, bursted
and discharged its contents in the face of his
wife, who stood immediately ou his left.
"These are the facts as detailed to us bv
several gcudeuicß who witnessed the disgust
ing affair.
'•So much for Breckinridge intolerance."
A SILVER MOUNTAIN.— The excitement cou
eeruiug tho newly discovered silver niioes, says
the Oregon City JJrgus, on the head waters of
Molalla, seems to be getting intense. Parties
are continually arriving in town, making their
outfit and departing for the silver regions. A
party ftoui town went out this week and re
turned after each cue bad taken out a claim of
one hundred feet front, running to :ha top of
tho mountain. Tito amount of silver supposed
to be there is almost fabulous. D. P. Thomp
son, Esq., one of the returned party, think*
the mountain is amass of silver ore, containing
hundreds of millions of the mineral—or at
any rate, double as much as there is in tbe
Santiam mines, which were stated by us to
amount to 100,000,000 >f tons, which, at
$5,333 to tbo tou —estimated—would give
$533,300,000,000. Supposing the Molalla
silver mines to contain 200,000,000 of tons,
aud to be equally as rich as tbe Santiam ore,
there is no questiou but that tbey are worth
$1 ,060.600,000,000.
GaribnldiS Last Grand Battle.
Iu the midst of our own great contest for
the principles of Freedom wo cannot but feci
a warm interest to tho progress of those prin
ciples in Italy. Tho 'L ot of Garibaldi, is on
the neck of Bourbouism iu Southern Italy.—
Alter yielding up Sicily abtmiiumg the great
city of Naple*, losing its navy, and suffering
: the troops of Garibaldi to occupy ueatly all
the import >nt places, it undo H desperate *Uod
ou the banks of the Volturtia. Tho battle was
the severest that Garibaldi was ever engaged iu
His aruiy, mostly composed of raw levies, W**
sutal! in number, sua was opposed to an army
of double ils size, w 11 disciplined aud sup
plied, and iusptro i by the actual presence of
j King Francis himself. But Garibaldi was
I victorious, after & lung -ght and heavy tosses.
