The Second Session of the Thirty-Fourth
Congress commenced on Monday last. The
Black Republicans of the House will make
desperate efforts to do something to keep up
sectional agitation. The Senate, however,
will hold them level. As the proceedings axe
likely to be interesting, we shall keep our
readers booked up.
The President's Message will appear in the

Pubic tOnAdence
One of the happiest fruits of the election
of Mr: Buenas:is, says the Reading GOette,
is the confidence in the future which it has'
inspired in the public mind. Among men Of,
all parties, and in every section of•the,couri-:
try, there is a sense of relief froth the anxi
ety which was so manifest during the canvass,
and a feeling of security in respect to what is
to come. All seem to have implicit faith that
under Mr. Beetta - .N.nvx's
: administration, the
government will be safely conducted through
every difficulty that may present itself, and
eVery dang,er that may arise, to threaten its
peaceful and prosperous progress. Even the
newspapers that, but a short time ago, proph
esied. the worst evils as , sure to follow upon
his election, now see in him the wise, cau
tious, and experienced statesman that his
friends described, and that his long and use
ful career in the public service had proved.
him ; and take comfort to themselves in the
defeat of their favorite's, by expressing strong
hopes that he will make a President fully up
to the mark of his admitted ability. And
strange as it may seem, too, the -ultras who
harped so loudly and lugubriously on "bleed
ing Kansas," and uttered - so many piercing
" shrieks for freedom," have all at once ceas
ed to be alarmists, - and now give utterance to
no other fear than that the Kansas troubles
will be effectually quieted, and thus their on
ly political capital be taken from them. In
short, Mr. BI7CLIANAN'S name is a pledge of
national security, both in home and foreign
relations, and a sure promise of the restora
tion of those harmonious feelings between
the people of the respective geographical di
visions of the Union, which alone can insure
its preservation.
How different would have been the state of
public feeling under other circumstances 1—
Let us suppose, for a moment, that I , REiIONT
had. succeeded. Who that is not utterly giv
en up to sectional prejudices, but loves his
whole country, and believes that its political
union is the only ark of its safety, could fail
to be filled with the most' serious apprehen
sions ? We are not among those who at any
time have believed that the election of Fre
mont would, of itself, and immediately, cause
a dissolution of the Union. But it cannot be
denied that his elevation to the Presidency
would have tended. to increase rather than al
lay the fears which the wisest and most pa
triotic men—men, too, who are not accustom- •
ed to give heed to causeless alarms—reluc
tantly and sorrowfully admitted they felt for
the future of our government. Instead of
subsiding into the calmneis and security
• which we now find.,it, people's minds would
have remained on the stretch in feverish anx
iety as to the policy which would govern the
administrationof Mr. Fremont ; and the coun
try would have stood still, for months, in
dread of seeing that ultra course of vindic
tive hostility pursued against the South,
which the threats of the open disunionists
who were among his warmest supporters, gave
warning of, that could not well be unheeded;
and which every friend of the Union, not wil
fully blind to passing events, knoWs would
inevitably provoke a rupture, at the very first
attempt to put it in force.
The failure of the people to elect, which
was the most the friends of Mr. FILLMORE
hoped, would have left the country in scarce
ly a less unsatisfactory condition. In that
event, all would have become involved in
doubt and uncertainty; which in a govern
ment like ours, of .the people, and intimately
Connected with them in all its operations, is
a state of things amounting, While it lasts, to
a positive evil. -The excitement of the calla
paign would have extended beyond its allot
ted time, and the painful suspense which the
election relieved would have yet to be endur
ed, while the people waited' the action of the
House of Representatives: The prospect of
a satisfactory solution of the difficulty would
have been far from encouraging. The pro
tracted struggle in that body to elect a Speak
er last winter, afforded slight hope that a
President would be chosen at the time ap
pointed by the Constitution. And the hete
rogeneous composition of the existing House,
rendered - it next to impossible that, even if
successful in making a choice, the President
would be one who represented the present
will of. the people ; as expressed in the recent
Congressional elections.
But speculations upon what, might hare
been, are, happily, made idle by what has
come to pass. The people have again chosen
the President for themselves—and chosen well
and wisely. There is every thing in Mr. Bu
chanan's character and career asa statesman
to warrant the sense of confidence and secu
rity in which the popular mind now reposes,
awaiting the inauguration of the new admin
istration ; which, we are conscious Of no over
sanguine feeling in predicting, will be distin
guished by all the vigor, independence, and
true devotion to the Constitution and the
Union, that characterized the Presidency of
JACKSVS, blended with the tranquility and
good feeling of the days of MoN.RoE.
SPOILING TIIE MARRIAGE CEREMONY.—The
following statement is no jest, but a positive
fact:--A young man in business in Liver
pool, led his blushing bride to the altar in
the Old Church in that town ; and the ques : -
tion was asked, 'Wilt thou cherish,' &e., he
answered as is customary, and added, 'when
she needed, he would bang her.' The girl
-immediately stopped the clergyman, and turn
ing upon her heel quietly walked out of the
church, saying that, 'A man who could say
what he has said in such a moment, in jest,
was most likely to put his threat into execu
tion,' and bade him choose another mate.—

WHAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 31..A.S
SETTLED.—After one of the most extraordi
nary struggles (says the 13elfast Free - Preas,)
ever witnessed by the civilized world, the
demOcracy of .21i3ierica have gloriously tri
umphed. Our eagles glitter in the 'bright
beams of the sun, and our flags proudly wave,
with never a star struck from their ample
folds. The Union is still a thing of life. It
is not only perpetuated in marble, in brass,
and in poetry, but it is a living principle, a
binding obligation, held to be sacredly im
posed upon the entire nation.—The sectional
party which rallied under the name of " Re-.
publican," is not merely beaten; it is anni
hilated. This presidential election has set
tled many of the most important principles
involved since the government was formed.
It has consolidated and eternized the Union
of States.
It has crushed forever all secret political
societies.
It has spoken peace to the adopted citizen,
and words of welcome to the unfriended but
meritorious emigrant.
It has thundered forth to the ears of spir
itual tyrants our glorious- creed of religious
liberty.
It has again rebuked the political priest
hood of the country, and trampled into the
dust the new attempt at union of Church and
State.
It has hurled from the lap of the nation
the rubbish of sumptuary legislation, prescrib
ing what we shall eat, what we shall drink,
and wherewithal we shall be clothed.
It has enunciated in the most solemn man
ner.the doctrine of self-government as appli
cable to States and Territories.
It has spurned the treason and traitors of
1856.
It has consigned' the Wilsons and the
Bankses, and Hales and Wades to an infa
mous notoriety.
It has strengthened the hands of the friends
of freedom wherever its spirit is felt, its bless
ings desired.
It has enhanced the glory and prosperity of
the nation almost beyond conception.
It has given importance to every individu
al in the Republic,' because he is now looked
upon as a citizen of this great country, and
not of a fragment of the Union.
The people should celebrate this great, un
speakable victory, as a new declaration of in
dependence, with shouts, with bonfires, by
ringing bells, by mutual congratulations, by
thanksgiving, and by a sincere acknowledg
meat to an overruling Providence.'
An Interesting Reminiscence of the
Presidential Campaign.
The Washington Union of the 27th inst.,
contains the follow; article:
SOMETHING WHICH SHOULD BE PLACED ON
R.Ecoan.lt will be recollected that, soon
after the October election in Pennsylvania,
considerable' curiosity was evinced as to the
whereabouts of Col: Fremont, who about that
time suddenly and mysteriously disappeared
from the public gate-- , - - at least from the pub
lic and private gaze of his fellow-citizens of
New York. We have it from the most un
questionable authority that the Black Repub
lican.candidate for the Presidency disappear
ed mysteriously from New York to appear
as mysteriously in Philadelphia, and that for
several days between, the 14/h of October, and,
the Ist of November he remained incog. in
the house of Mr. Isaac R. Davis ' in the last
named city ; and, furthermore, that while an
inmate of ;11% Davis's house, he had one,_ if
not several interviews with Mr. Isaac New
, ton, who resides in Delaware county, Penn
sylvania, and who, at that time, was a can
didate for Presidential elector on the Fill
more ticket. During these interviews, Col.
Fremont made use of the strongest personal
appeals and the most dishonorable proposi
tions, with the view of seducing Mr. Newton
into his support, and thereby to betray the
trust reposed in Mr. N. by his political asso
ciates, but 'without success. For the truth
of this statement, we refer, although not au
thorized so to do, to Mr. Newton himself.
lie is almoSt as well known to the citizens of
Washington as he is to the citizens of Phil
adelphia, and all who enjoy the pleasure of
"his acquaintance, will cheerfully bear testi
mony to his character as a gentleman of the
, strictest honor and veracity..
Decency and morality must be at the very
lowest ebb in the Black Republican party
when its candidate for the Presidency, could
stoop so low as to seek a political enemy in
disguise for the purpose of wheedling him
into a betrayal of his trust by the employ
ment of means wnich honest, honorable men
would spurn - with scorn and indignation.
-When the quintuple alliance were raising
the cry of fraud and corruption about the
election in Philadelphia, it is but charity to
suppose they knew not how much their can
didate was implicated in the dishonest and
disreputable. practices which they falsely at
tributed to Democrats,
Black Republican Consistency.
The American people havo been entertain
ed for the last twelve or eighteen months with
1 a Constant repetition of terrible outbursts of
Black Republican indignation about Kansas
and SUMNER. "Bleeding Kansas" and' bleed
ing SUMNER have been held up to our gaze
in season and out of season, day after day,
and month after month. Their whole vocab
ulary of denunciation has been ransacked
and its billingsgate expletives showered with
unceasing industry upon' the Democratic
party, for its alleged complicity with the oc
currences dwelt upon.
Now, within the "last few weeks the Balti
more election has occurred, where, we may
say nearly if not quite as many people were
killed or wounded as in Kansas Territory
since its organization, for no other provoca
tion than an attempt to exercise the right of
suffrage. Anti KENNETH RAYNOR, a Black
Republican ally in North Carolina, has bru
tally attacked, with a bludgeon, a Democrat
ic editor because he commented in fitting
terms upon RAYNOR'S political course.
We have looked in vain for the howlings
of the Freedom-shriekers over these occur
rences. The pens once so busy with alleged
Kansas outrages, have scarce been used to
utter a word of condemnation against the
13altimore outrages. And we have not yet
seen a. single Black Republican comment
upon the gross attempt of their man Riv,Non.
to crush out the freedom of the press, by as- 1
saulting an editor!
When it suits their purposes, they can
make the earth vocal -with their shrieks about
guarding the ballot-box, brutal assaults, free
speech, a free press, &c., but when those
whose Co-operation they desire or possess,
are guilty of acts quite as reprehensible as
those they have so loudly condemned, they
arc silent as the grave.—Pennsylvanian.
Congressional
WASHINGTON CITY, December I.—Senate:
the members were present, excepting
Messrs. Bell of New Hampshire, Bell of Ten
nessee, Biggs, Butler, Douglas, Houston,
Johnston, Jones of Tennessee, Mallory,:Reid,
Sebastian, Sumner, Toombs, Weller arid
Wright.
The usual committee was appointed to
wait on the President and inform him that
there was a quorum, and that each House
had assembled and were ready to receive
any communication he might be pleased to
make.
A similar committee of the House acted
in conjunction with that of the Senate, and
in each branch a report. was made that the
President would communicate his annual
message to Congress to-morrow, meridian.
The Senate then adjourned:
• HousE.--About three hundred members
were present. Messrs. Hodges of Vermont,
Garnett of Virginia, Allen and Morrison of
Illinois, 'to fill vacancies, were qualified by
taking an oath•to support the Constitution.
• Mr. Phelps presented the credentials of
Mr. Whitfield, and moved that he be sworn.
Other papers were read, and a paper from
Gov. Geary, certifying to the fact that 'Whit
field had been elected a delegate from Kan
sas, on the first Monday of October.
Mr. Phelps asked that the usual course be
pursued.
Mr. Grow objected, and was about to state
his reasons,, when
Mr. Phelps said it was known that a vacan
cy had existed in the representation from
Kansas. His credentials had been present
ed and read, and this entitled Mr. Whitfield
to have the oath administered to him. At
the last session the seats of all the delegates
from New Mexico, Nebraska and Kansas
were contested and their credentials were re
ceived and the oath of office administered to
them severally without objection being inter
posed :
Mr. Grow—l objected.
Mr. Phelps—l mean without serious ob
jection. The course proposed to - be pursued
by the gentleman from Pennsylvania was
contrary to precedent with one exception,
and that was an exception to the rule ;
refer to the New Jersey contested election.
The Speaker observed that, objection being
made, it would be the duty of the chair to
submit the question to the House, whether
the gentleman be sworn in as a delegate.
Mr. Campbell of Ohio suggested to Mr.
Grow, whether, as this is the short session,
and there was much unfinished business, it
would not be better to allow the matter to
-pass over, as it did last session on a similar
occasion. He did not see that anything
could thus be lost.
Mr. Grow---I. cannot accede to the request.
Mr. Campbell—l have.done my duty.
Mr. Grow, in reply to Mr. Phelps, said that
the course he proposed was not unprecedent
ed, and there were strong cases in the books
to justify it. in that of the New Jersey con
tested election,
neither set of delegates were
admitted until the committee on Elections,
after two or three months, reported. The
House; at the last session, had sent a com
mission to Kansas to investigate the affairs
of that Territory, and, after full deliberation,
the House had decided that no valid election
had been held, and hence Whitfield was ejec
ted. from his seat. What change had taken
place in the organic act of the Territory since
last session ? Its legislature stands as it did
six months ago, when the delegate was rejec
ted. The legislature was an usurpation; its
acts were characterized by unprecedented ty
ranny and unconstitutional wrongs ; its laws
were the blackest and most odious to be found
'among those of despotisms. The House was
now asked to overturn its decision and give
validity to tyrannical acts forced on an un
willing people by the arm of government be
ing used to shield the invaders of their rights
from neighboring States.
Mr. Phelps said he would, at the proper
time, be ready to defend the validity of the
legislature and laws of Kansas. Last session
Mr. Whitfield was sworn in and his creden
tials referred to the committee on Elections,
who reported adversely to his taking his seat,
and in favor of Reeder; a vacancy was crea
ted, and Mr. Whitfield was elected to fill that
vadaney, and i., now here for that purpose.—
Yet the gentleman from Pennsylvania has
proclaimed that this question was adjudica
ted and decided at the last session. The gen
tleman, Whilst voting against Mr. Whitfield,
assigned as a reason fer doing so that' he was
elected under an unconstitutional enactment,
but he voted for Mr. Reeder to take a seat in
the absence of all law.
Mr. Grow explained: he had stated tha.t
the people of Kansas were entitled to repre
sentation, and he desired to bestow it in that
way as proper under the peculiar circum
stances.
Mr. Phelps, resuming, said that Mr. Grow's
position was, that the people of Kansas are
entitled to a delegate ; but who was here to
contest the right of Mr. Whitfield? If the
gentleman of Pennsylvania was desirous to
see them represented, with what sense of j us
tice can he oppose Mr. Whitfield, there being
no contestant of his seat? Where was his
love for the people of Kansas ? The gentle
man's course would prevent such a represen
tation; votes were cast for no other person
than Mr. Whitfield in October. Let the del
egate be sworn in; his credentials can then
be referred to the committee on Elections,
and when their report be made they can act
as they believe justice requires.
The question was then taken whether Mr.
W. be sworn, which was decided in the neg
ative, by 07 against 104.
A Man Meeting his own Funeral.
A singular incident occurred in New York
last week. A man, killed by a railroad ac
cident at Tarrytown, was reported to be Pat
rick Burke, of New York, and his .wife at
onco proceeded to the spot. On arriving
there she saw the body, and having her
mind made up for the worst, without noticing
deceased's face, concluded that he was her
husband, and forthwith made arrangements
for the funeral. The supposed Patrick was
brought to the city in a neat mahogany cof
fin, the expenses and luxury of an old fash
ioned wake was incurred, five carriages were
hired, and as the funeral was about to cross
over the Williamsburg ferry on Thanksgiving
day, the real genuine Patrick Burke, met his
bereaved friends and in full health as Mrs.
Burke, on her testimony expressed it, to their
utter dismay." The mourners now began
to think they had been hoaxed, and uncere
moniously hurried the bogus Patrick to the
Bellevue Hospital dead-house, while the genu
ine Burke rode home in a carriage by his
wife.
Gen. John Eaton, formerly Secretary
of War under Gen. Jackson and otherwise
distinguished, died at Washington recently,
aged sixty-eight years.
A. Brief Efistory---A Foreshadowing of
the next Party;
The spirit exhibited by the enemies of the
Democratic party would be very commenda
ble if it were manifested in a worthier cause.
• When driven from one stronghold they fly to
another ; when one division is vanquished an
other comes on; when the whole united forces
are driven from the field in inglorious defeat,
they retire but to fornr new alliances, to lay
new stratagems and decoy' sonic who may
have enlisted under our standard. When
forced by the decision of public judgment, or
by the hiss of public indignation to abandon
one principle or set of principles, they quick
ly espouse some new doctrine, and advocate
it with as much apparent enthusiasm and
sincerity, as they professed for the creed just
repudiated.
Without referring particularly to the old
issues of tariff, bank, internal improvements,
public lands, independent treasury, &c., up
on which so many warm contests were had,
and so many glorious victories achieved by
the Democratic party, let us look at the cam
paigns of more recent years, and we shall
find our old enemy with its new names char
acterized by the same tergiversations as of
old, when forced to hush its clamor for a na
national bank, it at once commenced shout
ing tariff, tariff; and when the people were
weary of that song, it harped away on some
thing else.
In 1852 the great enemy of the Democrat
ic party marchd into the battle field under
the streaming colors of Whiggery. They re
cognized no other name and professed no oth
er principles. The strife of the contest pas
sed, the ranks of the Whig party were bro
ken; its forces were scattered, disheartened
and dismayed ; its standard was deserted and
left to be trampled in the dust. The disap
pointed and now desperate, met in secret and
in darkness to counsel and plot for retrieving,
their fallen fortunes. A scheme was con
cocted by which the prejudices, the bigotry
and the superstition of the people were to be
aroused and pandered to ; and under the ma
gic influence of mystery men were to be se
duced into an organization whose manage
ment
being kept secret by blasphemous
oaths, it was vainly hoped that its designs
could not be thwarted as they could not be
known. It was soon discovered that the dis
franchisement of Catholics and of foreigners
was the dark creed of this dark order. It
succeeded once, but its success developed its
policy and worked its overthrow.
In 1855 many who saw the waning for
tunes of Know-Nothino c3 ism, and some who,
having been Whigs, let a squeamish and
false pride keep them back from the Demo
cratic ranks, met to inaugurate a new party
and establish a new confession of faith.—
The focal point of this new party around
which everything else clustered, was opposi
tion to slavery. It professed to be in favor
of the utmost freedom of thought and of lo
comotion, and hence it opposed and denoun
ced the restrictive and proscriptive dogmas
of Know-Nothingisni. That contest passed
and the banner of Democracy again waved
in triumph. The verdict of the people was
recorded—Know-Nothingism was emphati
cally condemned, and the Republican parry
had presented no special claims for the con
fidence of the intelligent and patriotic voters.
The Democracy presented an unbroken front,
and rallying under its time-worn banner, and
shouting The same old war cry, it succeeded
over the divided wings of its enemy.
The contest of 185(5 was coming on ; the in-
domitable legions of the Democratic party
had already chosen their ehieftian and flock
ed to his standard. Consternation filled the
minds of its enemies ; disaster and defeat
rose up before them. They grew reckless in
view of their impending fate ; there was no
faint shadow of hope that they did not catch
at; there was nothing, however high, that
they did not strive to reach ; nothing, howev
er low, that they did not stoop and grovel to
attain, provided only it promised aid and suc
cor to its desperate cause. Those who had
banded together to proscribe foreigners, now
wheedled them and plead for their support;
those who had conspired against the civil
rights of Catholics, now impudently and ear
nestly appealed to them for aid ; those whose
tender consciences shuddered at the mention
of slavery were willing to divide their votes
with a slaveholder.-
These were the movements of the leaders
and managers of theDemocra tic party. Still,
it was not deemed advisable to consolidate
the opposition forces, for sonic were unwil
ling to yield their paculiar notions, yet all
united in the common feeling of hostility to
the Democracy. But this most dangerous
and fearful conflict is over, and as the din of
battle dies away, the jubilant shouts of the
victoriousDemoeraey rise and re-echo through
the land. What now shall be done by our
enemies? What new coalition will they form?
What principles will they profess for 1857.
Already we see a foreshadowing of the new
organization, and an indication of its doc
trines. Many of those Know-Nothing pa
pers which lent their aid to FREMONT are full
of encomiums on those Germans who basely
deserted the party that had defended them
and maintained their rights, and got down
on their knees to worship the new God of
Premontism. On the other hand, some of
those who stood firmly by FlLLMORE s exhibit
decided symptoms of the negrophobia, so
that it requires very little foresight to see
how the cards are to be arranged for the next
bold game. Inasmuch as many of the Ger
mans have been found pliable, the Know-
Nothings will take them to their bosoms, and
the ban of proscription will hill only on oth
er foreigners. And in consideration of the
Know-Nothings yielding thus much, the Re
publicans will join with them in their cru
sade upon the Catholics. The Pittsburg Gtz
zltte and other Republican journals are pa
ving the way for this by daily tirades upon
those holding the peculiar tenets of that
church.
We predict now that the elements antago
nistic to Democracy will speedily unite, hav
ing for their cardinal principles, and for their
bond of union, opposition to Catholicism and
opposition to slavery. Down with slavery
and down with the Catholic church will be
the hideous and horrible war cry of the ene
mies of our party. It is the same grim fiend
of treason to the Constitution ' the same bloody
ogre licking its lips for the life-blood of our
Republic. Though it will come with a new
name, it is the same dark demon still. But
