The Result.
There is no use of white-washing the re
sult of the late contest in this State. Demo
cratic principles have not been defeated—
men only, who have departed from the' true
faith, and who attempted to sacrifice the
dearest rights of the people, have been se
verely and justly chastised by the strong arm
of the masses of the party that placed them
in power. BUCHANAN, BIGLER, BLACK. & CO.
can now see the result of their labors. They
would not be admonished ; they turned a
deaf ear to their party and the people; they
heeded not th.e : storm that threatened to de
stroy the orgpization of the party by which
they had lien honored with .their exalted
positions.,t Heedless of all consequences,
they toolfton themselves the power to dic
tate to, and cent - fel their party and the peo
ple. The result, though not as decided as it
might have been, shows clearly that the
Democratic masses will not be coaxed or
driven from the support of principles which
gave them the victory in '56.
The Convention that nominated PORTER and
FROST, also defeated them by placing them
upon a platforin of rotten plank, which was
crushed to earth by Lecomptonism, before
the delegates returned to their homes and
their outraged constituents. We rejoice
over the defeat of Lecomptonism—over the
defeat of PoarrEst and FROST and every old
member of Congress, who misrepresented
his constituents on the Kansas question.—
We rejoice that the Democracy of the State
have spoken in language which cannot be
misunderstood, in condemnationof the Kan
sas policy of the President. Any other re
sult would have prepared the way for a cer
tain defeat of the Democratic candidate for
President, in 1860. But we regret that able,
good and true Democrats in every part of
the State, were taken down with the weight
of an. unpopular Administration. The . in
nocent have been made to suffer with the
guilty. Had Mr. BUCHANAN remained true
to the platform upon which he was elected—
true to the Democratic party and all its
principles—this district and county would
have elected the entire Democratic ticket.
But for the unexpected defeat of our political
friends, we could rejoice with exceeding
great joy over the general result.
With the permission of the powers that
be, at Washington, we may expect to see
the Democracy of the State again in solid
column, before the next election, when a. vic
tory will be just as certain as that Lecomp
tonism has been repudiated at the late
election.
The Legislature.
The Senate will be Democratic by one
majority.
The House will be Opposition by a large
majority—say 35.
THE PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL JOURNAL for
October, has been received. The general
reader will be benefited by a careful perusal
of its contents, and the teacher and friend of
the common school system will find interest
ing matter on its pages. We are constrained
to believe that its circulation is increasing,
and trust that it may be liberally patronized
in every school district in the Common
wealth,-
GOOD TIRES COMING.—Since the result in
the State, of the late election, has become
generally known, a - decided improvement in
the times is apparent. Several of our dull
subscribers have called, paid up, and in ad
vance—Cornfodder is coming in plentifully
—knotty potatoes bring a good price, and the
ladies hoops are enlarging. The high tariff
on iron, coal, onions, & - c., promised by the
friends of Mr. BLAIR., has already brought
about these promising times.
Repudiated
The following Lecompton members of Con
gress, were repudiated by their constituents
at the late election :
Phillips, Owen Jones, Landy, Allison
White, Wilson Reilly, Dewart, Gillis, and
Glancy Jones, of "Old Berks."
Sustained.
The only two anti-Lecompton Democrats,
old members of the State, who were before
the people, Montgomery, of Washington
county, and Hickman, of Chester, have been
sustained by large majorities.
Integrity.
"I've scann'd the actions of his daily life
With all the industrious malice of a foe,
And nothing meets mine eyes hut deeds of honor."
We sometimes hear complaints on the part
of the high-minded and honorable, in rela
tion to the apparent success of villainy.
They cannot understand, says the Phila
delphia In - quirer, how it is that in the natural
course of things, and with a ruling and an
all-wise Providence overseeing and superin
tending, merit is so frequently found to lan
guish in obscurity ; to experience misfortune,
and to realize indigence, while the bold, the
unscrupulous and guilty are permitted to at
tain wealth, influence and power. They ar
gue that this condition of affairs is calculated
to discourage, and in fact, to constitute a
premium for vice and crime. But this is a
short-sighted view. Only a portion of the
drama of life is realized. The sequel is yet
to take place. The ways of Providence are
often mysterious, and to the finite mind and
eye, incomprehensible. Guilt may prosper
to-day; trick, guile and fraud may acquire
position and power, yet these will proye but
temporary. The FUTURE is yet to be revealed.
However, therefore, tempting and dazzling
the APPARENT success of crime—however,
some skillful, polished, and plausible tricks
ter, may contrive to defraud and victimize
his friends and neighbors, a day of reckon
ing will come at last, when the responsibility
will be of a- truly terrible character. The
history of mankind is full of illustrations.
They may be found in every walk of life.
Crime carries with it its own penalty. It is
impossible, even for the most hardened, to
stifle the still, small voice of conscience—to
make the memory oblivious, or to deaden the
mind and the heart, to recollections and re
flections upon the past. Integrity is, after
all, one of the highest and noblest of virtues.
It is god-like in its nature and its attributes.
It purifies, it elevates and adorns. Misfor
tune may come, friends may forsake, storms
may burst, but if a consciousness is felt
within, that duty and principle have been
adhered to at all times, and on all occasions,
an inward sense of satisfaction, of courage,
and of hope will be felt, which nothing in
this world can take away. The man of in
tegrity, is true, not only to himself and his
conscience, but he is equally so to his friends,
his neighbors, his associates, and all with
whom he may hold converse or have deal
ings. Such a man, moreover, can never be
wholly depressed or overwhelmed. His
character is priceless, and it will win for him
respect, even amidst the keenest ills of pov
erty, and confidence, even froth those who
have wronged him. What can be more val-
liable in an extensive establishment where
there are many trusts of importance, matters
of confidence, and cases of privacy, than a
MAN OP STRICT INTEGRITY—One \cllo can be
relied upon under all circumstances, and in
whose soul the elements of truth, of honesty,
and of honor, are so admirably interbiended,
as to form a deathless union. The quality of
unswerving integrity is the more to be prized
and appreciated, because all are surrounded
by temptations. All, moreover, are weak,
fallible, and to some extent, selfish. When,
therefore, amidst the - various chances and
changes that takes place in commercial and
monetary life, when in storm and in sun
shine, in poverty as in prosperity, we observe
an individual still maintaining, upholding
and preserving his integrity, willing to per
ish rather than resort to a dishonest act, we
may still imagine and contend that a sympa
thy exists between the mortal and the immor
tal, and that the divinity, so to speak, lives
and breathes within the heart of man. It
sometimes happens that in the excitement of
the battle of life, in struggling forward
amidst the shoals and quicksands of adver
sity, every thing like hope sinks within us,
and the subtle fiend of TEMPTATION whispers
and persuades to some act of treachery and
dishonor. A mocking story is told, a false
future is painted, and a single act is described
as calculated to resuscitate for the time, and
to outspread a glorious prospect. But alas I
that act may be one of turpitude or crime.
It is then that INTEGRITY exercises all its
moral force, that "the better nature" rises
above the inferior, that the temptation is re
sisted and the triumph achieved. But for
this principle, a momentary change would
have been realized ; and then regret, remorse,
and sorrow, and shame, would have followed
and with fearful rapidity. The poor wretch
who deceives himself with the delusion that
dishonesty is the policy, even for this world,
that ho can utter falsehoods, commit frauds,
indulge in hypocrisy, iterate slander, and all
with impunity, commits a fearful, nay, a ter
rible m,:istake. Sooner or later, the retribu
tion will come. It may be postponed for a
year, or for ten years, but THEN, even when
least expected, then, when the wronged have
been foro4en, or have passed to their last
long sleep of death, some incident will occur,
some development will take place, and the
AVENGER. will strike with all his strength.
This may be regarded as certain in the great
multitude of cases. It is not for man to ful-
low them up to their close, but they cannot
escape the All-seeing Eye—they cannot avoid
the Ever present nand. In every sense,
therefore, INTEGRITY is the true policy. It is
the policy to live by and die by. MAT noble
virtue—that lofty quality preserved amidst
every evil and every change, and man will
in some degree assimilate to God, hope for
and aspire to a blissful, a beatific, and an
eternal destiny.
THE VOTE OF TILE STATE.-Thirty-six coun
ties, official and reported, give READ, for
Supreme Judge, a majority of over 35,000.
LOST OR STOLEN.-Our boat " Fusion," sent
up Salt River two years ago, returned on the
12th inst. Since then we have not heard
anything of her. We suspect, however, that
the Opposition have her in their possession,
and are preparing her for another trip up the
river, with a heavy cargo of Democracy.

residence, for a perfect likeness of yourself.
Don't delay—time will not make your faces
any more attractive.
Prospects of the Democracy.
In the course of an able article on the
" Congressional Elections at the North," the
Richmond South, says :—" But, let the pres
ent state of things be what it may, the pros
pects of the Democratic party of the Union
will not greatly suffer in any event. These
elections over, the Kansas difficulty will be at
an end. There will be no discordant element
in the way of the perfect co-operation of all
sections of the party, in the next Presiden
tial election. On the other hand, the. disor
ganization of the Opposition will become
every day more intense and impracticable ;
the chances of an effective coalition will con
stantly diminish in proportion to the increase
of candidates and the multiplication of irrecon
cileable issues. The most determined of The
Black Republicans will adhere to the anti
slavery article of their creed, to the bitter
end ; but the occasion for its immediate ap
plication is past and the excitement subsided,
the conservative portion of the party will
begin to reflect upon the ultimate conse
quences of such a purely sectional movement.
Black Republicanism will appear in the next
Presidential canvass, as fiercely sectional as
ever, but with such diminished proportions
as to render it powerless for mischief. The
Americans' will doubtless preserve their or
ganization, unless, meantime, they become
merged in the controlling element of the Op
position. In either event, the position and
prospects of the Democracy will be the same.
We shall be victorious in 1860, whatever the
character of the Opposition ; and, for our
part, we care not how soon they combine
their scattered forces.
How the News is Received in Wash
ington.
[From the Washington States of October 14.]
" TELE ELECTION'S AND THEIR LESSON.-By
this time the defeat of the Democracy hasbeen
telegraphed all over the Union. By this
time the Republic knows that Pennsylvania,
that elected the Democratic President, has
given that President's Administration the
severest rebuke, visiting itwith a denunciation
enough to chill the ambition of any future
cabinet that attempts to strengthen itself
more by force than faith, more by the fear
of its officials than the love of the people,
more by introducing new issues and making
proscriptive tests against those who do not
support them, than by generous Democratic
principles.
" While the result is to be deeply -de
plored, there is no use attempting to smoth
er the facts which produced it. These un
fortunate causes will not be kept down.—
The proscriptive tests based upon the issue
of Lecomptonism, rise in judgment against
the Administration ; and when they take
such shapes as Pennsylvania conjures them
up in they are desperately effective, and
mark political epochs of momentous import.
"One of the most remarkable features of
the effect produced in this city yesterday by
the news, was, that while the defeat of the
Administration was the chief topic of conver
sation and comment on the street-corners,
and in the saloons and hotel lobbies, we did
not hear one single voice raised in palliation
of the causes, or in denunciation of the result.
When we think that it is a Democratic Ad
ministration that suffers this defeat—a defeat
not only springing from political routine, but
extending to private and conscientious people,
who cheered its advent—it is humiliating to
contemplate. It is humiliating, however ne
cessary the ordeal. It proves that, after an
experiment of eighty-two years of the indi
vidual-sovereign system, the American Re
public is satisfied with its own Democracy,
and utterly and manfully opposed to the in
troduction among us of those imperial and
monarchical proscriptive tests, and personal
distinctions which, outside of our own coun
try, sends noble heads to the block, and no
ble hearts into penal servitude.
" The great lesson—and no great man was
ever above taking a wholesome lesson, spring
ing from whatever cause—is, that any inva
sion of Democratic right is certain to draw
down the Titanic ire of the Democratic
party. It is a party of immortal history
—great, moral, intellectual, and physical
prestige, power, and a passion that springs
from its dignity. It is not the party of any
man, but of the nation ; and any attempt of
any one man or his cliqUe to gain power, or hold
it by infringing the very simplest, and conse
quently, the very dearest right of that na
tion, will be certain to end in the awful hu
miliation of the man - or clique."
lieu PRICES IN CALIFORNIA.—Prices in
California, for every necessary of life, are
exorbitantly high, at present, as we learn
from a letter, received in this city, on Satur
day, from a Pittsburgher residing at Stock
ton. The writer says :--:" You can live bet
ter in Pittsburgh, and save more money, at
a salary of $lO per week, than you could
here with $3O per week. The meanest frame
cottage, of four or five rooms, cannot be
hired for less than $2O per month, while the
majority of them bring $25 and $3O, and even
$35. You would be frightened at the price
of groceries. Flour rates at from $l4 to $2O
per barrel; sugar, IGcts. to 25cts. per pound;
butter, at present, 75cts. per pound; eggs,
62cts. to Gscts. per dozen, and other things
in proportion." If any of our readers de
sign visiting the golden State, for the pur
pose of making their fortune in a hurry,
they should first take into consideration the
foregoing facts.—Pittsburg True Press.
A SINGULAR SURGICAL OPERATION.-A man
named Berry, residing at Petersburg Va.,
was suffering intense pain, last -week, from a
felon on his hand. On the 7th inst. he seated
himself by the track of the Petersburg rail
road, and when the train approached, coolly
laid his hand on the rail, the cars passing
over and severing it from the wrist. The
consequence is, that he will have to undergo
a second amputation, at the hands of a stir

The Cause.
Governor Packer received one year ago at
a time when the original Kansas policy of Mr.
Buchanan was being faithfully carried out by
Governor Walker, a majority of about forty
thousand, as the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania. Now, John M.
Read, the Opposition candidate for Supreme
Judge, has received a majortity which, from
present indications, will not be less than 60,-
000. One short year has effected a change,
of about 100,000 votes in the relative position
of the two leading parties of the State. In
1856, fifteen Democrats were elected to Con
gress ; now only two or three Administration
candidates have escaped defeat. To what
agencies can we attribute this astonishing and
unprecedented revulsion in political senti
ment? "Local causes," as has been ingeni
ously suggested by some of the organs of the
Administration? The idea, is stamped with
absurdity upon its face. The Tariff? The
question of protection has deeply interested
our people, and there is an earnest feeling
on the subject; but how did that, of itself,
defeat the Administration candidates ? They
were vociferous throughout the whole canvass
in their expressions of devotion to the doc
trine of protection, and boldly claimed that
they were the best tariff candidates befor ethe
people—that they could and would obtain
more desirable legislation for Pennsylvania
interests than their opponents. Nay, more ;
a leading argument urged against the Peo
ple's Party was based on the false assertion
that their nominee, Mr. Read, had signed a
letter commending George M. Dallas for his
vote in favor of the tariff of 1856. So far as
professions could go, there never were a set
of men more thoroughly committed to the
doctrine of protection than the Administra
tion candidates. How, then, did the tariff
question defeat them ? Whatever influence
it may have had resulted from a deeply settled
conviction of the people, that inasmuch as
they had betrayed their constituents on the
Kansas question, they could not be trusted on
the tariff issue.
What, then, has produced this remarkable
political revolution ? Why have tens of thou
sands of men who have grown gray in the
ranks of the Democratic party—who have
brought to its service the warmest affections
of their hearts, the best energies of their na
tures, and who have ever been hitherto its
most devoted partisans—either sadly abstain
ing from voting, or for the first time in their
lives cast their ballots against the regular
nominees of their organization? It is be
cause theyhave lov'd the principles of thatparty
better than the men who have betrayed them.
Because they believed the saying of Mr. Bu
chanan in his great Greensburg speech, in
1852, that while men are but the creatures
of a day, principles are eternal. Because
they adhere to the Cincinnati platform and
the pledges of 1856. Because they believed
in Popular Sovereignty as a great fundamen
tal doctrine, which no treachery of Adminis
trations or Congressmen could make "a dead
issue," and which, faithfully carried out, -
might furnish an ever-living and beneficent
system of territorial government, under which
all the vast area of the public domain would
bear the impress of the footsteps of freemen,
and not be polluted by governments conceived
in fraud and infamy, and fastened upon out
raged communities by Executive tyranny.—
Because, knowing in their hearts that the Le
compton policy of Mr. Buchanan was unjust,
and that it had no real defenders among our
people except the paid hirelings of power,
they were unwilling to endorse by their votes
a confessed and unmitigated wrong. Be
cause they spurned the "finality" of the
English bill with the contempt it merited,
and loved the equality and rights of the States
too well to endorse a law which prescribed
one rule for the free and another for the slave
States of the Union. Because the "Leeomp
ton test" made every Democrat who would
not sacrifice his manhood, violate his plighted
faith, and betray a principle as dear to him
as any he had ever cherished, a mere, hewer
of wood and drawer of water in the ranks of
his party, while heartless and corrupt dema
gogues were loaded with rewards and honors.
Because, while the Democracy of Pennsylva
nia were invoked to sustain the men who had
betrayed, vilified, and persecuted them, mere
ly because official agencies had secured their
nomination, the gallant Senator of Illinois
and his band of devoted.., friends, who were
clothed with all the sanctity that regular
nominations could give, were, for their honest
adherence to a great principle, being hunted
down with fienish ferocity by the Danite
agents of the Adminstration, paid with the
money of the Federal Treasury. Because
such interference by the agents of the central
power at Washington in the election of a
sovereign State is one of the grossest out
rages that could be perpetrated upon a free
people, threatening as it does, if applauded
and endorsed, to undermine the whole basis
upon which our liberties are founded, and be
cause it therefore demanded a stern rebuke.
Because we had in our very midst, as the rep
resentatives of the Administration, Bigler
and Jones, two of the men who had been
most active in instituting the unholy war upon
the great champion of Popular Sovereignty.
Because, if the surmise of Governor Walker
that the first year of American monarchy
and despotism bad been inaugurated was cor
rect, it was resolved that Pennsylvania, at
least, the home of the man who had estab
lished it, should denounce it in terms that
could not be misunderstood by any one.
She has done so ; and we believe that even
tens of thousands of those who protestingly
voted for the defeated candidates from a love
for the organization, while they detested the
principles which for the time it represented,
rejoice with the great body of the nation over
the result, much as they regret that the mis
conduct of a faithless Administration has
given rise to such a feeling.
And now, what of the future ? Are our
rulers not yet drunk enough with the blood
of the victims they have slaughtered on the
shrine of their hideous altar of Leeompton
ism ? Are they determined to compel the
Democracy of the whole Union, in sheer self
defence, to publicly repudiate them; as the
people of Pennsylvania have done ? Are
they determined to drive their daggers still
deeper into Douglas, in Illinois, and throw
away the last opportunity.they will ever have
of regaining, in some slight degree, the af
fections of their party and of the American I
people? We shall see.—Philadelphia Press.
SixotrLAa IMPULSE.-A little son (thirteen
years old) of Mr. Brack, of Wheeling, Va.,
having witnessed the execution of Burns,
had an uncontrollable desire aroused to know
what sort of a sensation hanging produced.
The other day he procured a rope, made a
noose, and adjusting it around his neck,
threw the weight of his body on it. He was
discovered in time to save his life, but not be
fore he had become insensible. He after
wards tried it on a younger brother, but the
boy was rescued ere life had entirely departed.
