A HANDSOME PRESENT.—MT. JACKSON
WHITE, has our thanks for a very large snap
ping turtle, cleaned and ready for the pot.—
Such presents are always acceptable—the
larger the better.
Ourself and Our Patrons.
Because we have differed with a portion of
our party on the Kansas policy of the Presi
dent, we are denounced as a Black Republi
can by a few, who think a Democratic yres
ident can do no wrong. Whatever may be
the extent of their denunciations and the
loss of their patronage, we can assure them
that until we are convinced that by our course
we are favoring the success of Black Repub
lican principles, we shall continue to expose
and denounce Mr. BLICIIANAN, BIGLER & CO.,
in their efforts to destroy the Democratic
party, its principles, and their ablest cham
pions. We cannot pursue a course contrary
to our convictions of right, to gratify any
one or any number of our patrons. "'THE
GLOBE" is an independent Democratic paper,
and we hope to continue it as such, as long
as it is under our control. When it shall
support its party, or its party leaders, right
or wrong, it will no longer deserve the pat
ronage of the good men of the Democratic
party, cr of the good men of any other party.
Vice President Brecltinridge and Sena
tor Douglas.
Vice President BRECKINRIDGE has written
a letter to the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Illinois, urging the re-election of
Judge DOUGLAS. He says, that " DOUGLAS
being the leader of the Democracy of Illi
nois, in their present fight against " Black
Republicanism," he sympathises with him,
desires his success, and trusts that the De
mocracy of the State which has never given
a sectional vote, will not now be found• lag
gard in their duty to the Constitution and
President BUCHANAN should go and do like
wise. But we do not expect him to do so, as
he has instructed all his minions in Illinois,
to oppose DoucLAs' 'election. In this State,
the Democrats who opposed the election of
the Lecompton candidates fur Congress and
State offices, are denounced by the President's
mouth-piece at Washington, as Black Repub
licans—but the Government office-holders in
Illinois, and all they can influence to assist
in the defeat of Judge DOUGLAS, are recog
nized by the LecomPton Democracy at Wash
ington, as the only true Democracy. If the
Democracy of the Anti-Lecompton Demo
crats in this State, is Black Republicanism
—then the Democracy of President BUCHAN
AN and his minions in Illinois, in their oppo
sition to Judge DOUGLAS, is Blacker Republi
canisia;fOr in that State, Black Republican
ism is Abolitionism, and the defeat of DOUG
LAS, will be the success of LINCOLN and
Abolitionism.
The election comes off in Illinois, on Tues
day nest, and the result will be anxiously
looked for by the Democracy of the whole
- Union.
We hope for the success of DOUGLAS and
Democracy, and the defeat of LINCOLN and
Abolitionism.
TEE PENNSYLVANIA CANAL.—We clip the
following item of interesting news to boat
men and others, from the Harrisburg daily
Patriot & Union :
"We learn from a reliable source, that the
Pennsylvania Company intend placing their
portion of the late State canals in complete
repair by next spring, and will hereafter aim
to facilitate navigation to the best of their
ability. The profitable business done on this
branch of their improvements during the
present
. year, has encouraged them to offer
strong inducements to boatmen, and with
this view, they have concluded to transfer
all their heaviest freight from the railroad to
the canal. The entire Main Line is to be
deepened, for the passage of the largest sized
boats, and we have good reason to predict,
from what has been stated to us, that the
canal business next year will be unusually
lively."
ger J. GLANCY JONES . , the defeated Le
comptonite in "Old Berks," has accepted
the nomination, by President BUCHANAN, as
Minister to Austria. There are several others
in the State condemned by the party, to be
provi'ded for.
ge r "' lion. GAYLORD CIIIIRCII, of Crawford
county, has been appointed by Gov. PACKER,
one of the Judges - of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania., in the room of WILLIAM A.
PORTER, resigned.
.The number of deaths in Philadelphia
last week was I.s4—preeisely the.same num
ber as for each of the two previous weeks.
ATTACIPT EXECUTIONS,
EXECUTIONS,
DEEDS, •
Non. Gaylord Church and William A
Porter
The following remarks we take from the
editorial columns of the Harrisburg Daily
Democratic Patriot d Union, a Lecompton
paper. Porter was certainly very foolish in
tendering his resignation.
"We understand that this distinguished
Jurist has accepted the position which Gov.
Packer so handsomely tendered. Ripe with
many years of judicial experience; more
than once presented, by enthusiastic friends,
to the consideration of Democratic Conven
tions, for nomination to the Supreme Bench,
Judge Church was the proper man to be se
lected by Governor Packer, who, in turn, is
fortunate that Judge Church should under
take the necessary and severe labors of the
remainder of the term. He cannot add to
his reputation—he will gain nothing in emol
ument—but undertakes the severe duties
of his high office in a spirit which should be
commended. In reply to Gov. Packer's re
quest, and in obedience to the demands of
public service, Gaylord Church forsakes his
personal business and repairs to a distant
point for the performance of _duties which
Wm. A. Porter should have met. Two hun
dred cases must be tried at the Pittsburgh
Court, which necessarily require a full Bench
to share the arduous labors; so that it was
the pressing duty of the Governor to imme
diately call a capable man to the vacancy.—
And it is to remembered that delicacy for
bade the appointment of Judge Read who
had just been selected to sit fifteen years on
the Bench, and necessarily requires a few
weeks to pre-arrange his private affairs.—
Moreover there is no connection between the
election and Judge Porter or Judge Church.
The Governor chose Wm. A. Porter to per
form certain duties until the period when the
choice of the people should take his place.—
But he, unadvisedly, has imposed his private
affairs and feelings upon the public, which
cares not for them; he has insulted Governor
Packer, who breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life. He has abandoned the pub
lic interests, at a time when he should have
sacrificed everything personal to an exceed
ingly lenient people ; but Gaylord Church
leaves his home to perform a necessary duty,
without stopping to consider whether the
people watch him or overlook one who simp
ly strives to fulfil the obligations which are
imposed on every true citizen ; he gees to
Pittsburgh to toil through two hundred cases,
without the stimulating excitement of an elec
tion ; he answers to the call of an Executive
who appreciates his worth, and does not be
lieve him capable of a splenetic freak.
This appointment may be regarded, in
another point of view, as important—cer
tainly as indicative of the spirit of Governor
Packer—Gaylord Church has supported the
policy of the President, and, until a certain
period, was the proposed candidate for' Con
gress against Mr. Babbit. Yet Gov. Packer
chose Judge Church • for his merits, never re
garding his opinions on questions which are
past, giving him a position which insures his
future, should the Democratic party regain
power ; for the -Democracy, in such circum
stances, would most certainly sustain the
able Jurist, who answered promptly to the
call.
Where the public desires information or
instruction from men high placed, - Judge
Church has always afforded it, whether upon
Lecompton or any other issue;he has acted upon
the idea that those who have confided in
him, have a right to his- opinions ;- -he gives
his energies and intellect to the c•cneral good,
when his party is in adversity,;!'he steps for
ward most manfully, when'others desdrt the
interest of the people—and assuredly Gaylord
Church will be remembered 'by the pemoe
racy and Pennsylvania; for the Manliness
which he has displayed, after the irritable
folly of Judge Porter."
More Proscription
We are daily told. by the - Administration
organs that Lecomptonism is a " dead issue."
If this is true, why is the war still continued
upon Deco ? Why is the guillotine kept
constantly at work decapitating anti-Lee,omp
ton Democrats? The telegraphic news from
Washington, which we published yesterday
morning, announced that thirteen- post mas
ters in Illinois had just been dismissed. The
proscription, in that State, is of a character
unprecedented in the political annals of the
nation. Douglas postmasters are removed
even when. their.successors have to be sought
in other counties than those in which the,post
offices are located, and against the wishes and
protests of the whole community. In raddi-
tion to the recent cases mentioned above, a
correspondent of the St. Louis Republican ,
writing . from - Springfield, Illinois, says
Another batch of political heads have been
cut off. Some one says that the Adminis
tration is determined to let out all the Demo
cratic blood from the veins of the office
holders. This would seem to be the case, if
we are to judge from the political character
of those turned out, and those put in. .:_our
postmaster, Mr. Keyes, has been removed,
and Mr. Morris Lindsay appointed in his
Place. The postmasters at Rock Island,
Galesburg . , Belleville, Peoria, Bloomington,
and very many, smaller places, have shared
the same fate ; also, a large number of route
agents, as we are informed. We are at a loss
to know the object of all this—it certainly
would not be done without an Object. If it
is to defeat Mr. Douglas for the Senate, those
who are engaged in it are doing just what
they should not do; for every time an officer
is removed, he is at once an active - and influ
ential friend of Douglas.
We are informed that considerable excite
ment was manifested on the occasion of the
removal of the postmaster at Bloomington.
A man living in another county was appointed
to fill the place. The citizens of Blooming
ton being indignant at what they choose to
-term an outrage upon them—that is, removing
a good man and placing one who did not re
side in their'county . in his stead—hung an
effigy, which was intended to represent the
new postmaster. An effort being made by
him to take it down, he was received by a
shower of stones, which compelled him to de
sist. The have also been credibly informed
that the new postmaster visited or sent to Chi
cago, to get the United States Marshal to in
duct him into the Vice. We cite thislo show
the state of feeling in this State.
In these cases no crime is alleged, no po
litical heresy charged, save allegiance to the
Democratic platform of 1856, the regular
Democratic organization of Illinois, and
friendship for the gallant Senator from that
State, We. scarcely know where to find a
parallel for conduct like this, unless it be
among mutineers on board a ship, who, when
they resolve to turn pirates, kill all the crew
who will not join in their nefarious designs.
The Administration, not satisfied with be
traying the pledges of 1856 itself, and thus
turning the ship of State in a different di
rection from that contemplated and desired
by the American people when it was entrus
ted with power, is resolved to punish, as far
as it can, all who will not imitate its recrean
cy and treachery. What the people think of
this proscription the late elections have, to
some extent, indicated ; but not fully, for
probably nine-tenths of those who voted the
Administration tickets, abhor its proscriptive
policy nearly as much as those who voted
against them.
In Ohio and Indiana, the proscription of
DOUGLAS was openly and constantly denoun
ced by the Democratic candidates and presses,
and every Democratic Congressman elected,
is publicly committed against this insane
policy. In Pennsylvania, a similar senti
ment is almost universal, even among the
Lecomptonites, except those under the im
mediate influence of our illuminated Senator,
(Brouna,) and the illustrious JEUU G. JONES.
It is also generally condemned in the South.
Who sustains it ? Where is the popular sen
timent demanding it? Where is the great
principle which justifies it? It is simply an
act of despotic, arbitrary power, disgraceful
to a Republican country, which covers with
infamy those who arc guilty of it. It is an
unwarranted interference with the free elec
tions of a sovereign State, at deadly variance
with the principles upon which our Govern
ment is founded, and it is a prostitution cf
the power conferred upon the National Ad
ministration by the Constitution for specific
purposes, to an end foreign to that originally
contemplated, and dangerous to the liberties
of the nation. The President of the United
States was not entrusted with that high office,
for the purpose of using his patronage to in
fluence by terrorism or reward the freedom
of elections. Though custom has familiar
ized us with the usual rotation in office which
ensues when Administrations change,
_yet,
bad as that is, it at least has the sanction of
popular sentiment, while the f;:esent crusade
has nothing whatever to justify it. A Doug
las Democrat is guilty Of what, if anything?
Of opposition to the enforcement of a Con
stitution upon a protesting people, and hos
tility to laying down one ratio of population
for the admission of free States, and another
for the admission of slave States. For these
opinions he must be summarily decapitated,
The people's money must be used to strengthen
sentiments odious to a whole State, and to
reward faithless Congressmen when they are
repudiated by betrayed constituencies:. a,3 in
the case of JONES and the Austrian mission.

Prom Salt Lake
ST. Louis, October 22.—The . Salt Lake mail,
with dates to the 25th September, reached St.
Joseph's on the 16th hist.
Sixty'trains had passed Fort Bridger up to
the 22nd ult., and twenty more were net • on
the Sweet Water ; eight others at the North
crossing of the Platte River.
Snow was encountered by the mail party
East of Fort Laramie.
Two companies of cavalry returning via
Pike's Peak, were passed on the Big Blue.
Judge . Eckels was met on the Big Sandy,
and Colonel - Wilson at O'Fallen's Bluffs, pro
gressing finely.
" The Indians were numerous but peaceable.
It was thought that several of the trains
would be overtaken by the snow in the moun
tains, and much suffering was anticipated.
Business at Salt Lake was very brisk, and
trains were constantly arriving from San
Francisco with goods and provisions.
Good feeling prevailed betwen the Mormons
and Gentiles.
The former speak in high terms of Gover
nor Cumming.
Gen. Johnston's command consists of from
7,000 to 8,000 men, consisting of troops and
'the camp employees, all of whom are con
solidated in one grand encampment, and will
remain together during the winter.. There
is also about 4,000 at - Fort Bridger, under Col.
Cambrey. Col. Morrison, of the 7th infan
try, bad arrived at Camp Floyd.
Execution of a Wonsan at Danville
DANVILLE, Oct. 22.—The Clark and Twiggs
tragedy was to-day brought to a conclusion
by the execution of Mrs. Twiggs, for having
taken part in the murder of her husband and
Mrs. Clark.
The condemned woman passed last night
rather comfortably, sleeping with her child
ren in her arms. She bade farewell to her
brother and children this morning, and after
devotional exercises in her room, was taken
to the scaffold at a quarter past ten o'clock,
leaning on" the arm of one of her spiritual
advisers.
A chapter having been read, and an im
pressive prayer offered up on the scaffold,
Mrs. Twiggy spoke for six or eight minutes,
protesting her innocence, declaring her read
iness to die, and her trust in a just Judge,
only regretting to leave behind her her two
orphan children.
She was much affected throughout. The
solemnity of the scene was made more im
pressive by her groans and sob's. Even after
the cap was drawn over her face, she ap
pealed to God in the most earnest manner,
and asserted her innocence.
At ten o'clock and thirty minutes the drop
fell, and after struggling for a few moments,
the wretched woman hung lifeless.

Vote by Congressional Districts
We give below an interesting and useful
table of the vote at the late election in the
several Congressional districts. It has been
carefully prepared from the official returns,
and may be relied on as correct.
It will be seen that Anti-Lecompton Dem
ocratic candidates were nominated and sup
ported as such, in but four Districts—in the
other Districts the Democratic candidates re
pudiated the English Bill, and were suppor
ted by the Anti-Lecompton Democracy—and
consequently the strength of the Democratic
opposition to the Kansas policy of the Presi
dent does not appear in figures—but, we
hint it fair to suppose that of the 159,198
votes put down as Democratic, that at least
100,000 would have,been cast Anti-Lecomp
ton had a close test been made.

Resignation of Judge Porter:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16th,
His Excellency William, F. Packer, Governor
of, Pennsylvania.
DEAR Sin :—On the first day of your en
trance on official duty, I received from your
hand a commission as a judge of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania. The event then con
sidered possible,perhaps I should say probable,
has just been realized. I have little to say
of the means which produced it. On receiv
ing the appointment, I thought that, being
a judge, actually sitting on the bench, and
deciding on the rights of men of all shades
of political opinion, I ought not to write a
political letter, nor to make a political speech.
In the first place, I was not willing to hido
with my claims to the office, however, small,
in the shadow of a mere political question.—
I the next place, I was and I am thoroughly
convinced, by reading and reflection, that
whenever a judge can be elected by reason of
his sentiments on „.any question of politics,
that moment the real power of the judicial
office will disappear. Possibly this may be
very erroneous doctrine, very inopportunely
expressed, but I shall maintain it while I
possess a moral sense or retain a rational
faculty. In the certain prospect of a defeat
far more disastrous, not one hairs-breadth of
it should be abated.
The reverse which has occurred to the par
ty is of less consequence than we are apt to
suppose. The Democratic party is coeval
with the government itself, and it will exist
so long as the republic endures. Within its
ranks men will always be found, who remain
there only to do with more success the work
of disor g anization . The party itself, though
depressed, is not destroyed. The point of its
lowest depression is that from which it will of
necessity, begin to rise. At this moment I
solemnly believe it to be the best and strong
est political organization which has ever ex
isted, for preserving the interests of the whole
country.
Now to the point. lam not weak enough
to suppose that the - enclosed commission has
had much to do in causing the present politi
cal excitement. Nevertheless, it is plain that
the people of Pennsylvania prefer another
person as a Judge of their Supreme Court.—
In these circumstances, it seems to me a sim
ple dictate of delicacy and propriety to re
tire from the office. In addition to this, I
ought to state that there are several impor
tant causes pending in which I wish to take
part as counsel, and these require immediate
attention. I, therefore, enclose my resigna
tion. The office was tendered by you very
kindly, without solicitation on my part. I
resign it gratefully, and without, as I hope,
having brought upon it a stain of dishonor.
Less was accomplished than I could have
wished, but I am not conscious of an act which
does not meet the approval of my own sense
of duty. To yourself personally, and to
those friends who are.sending me their sym
pathy, I beg to say, in a word, that there is
no cause for regret. I return to a profession
which I was conscious of abandoning too soon,
and to a position at the bar as honorable as
that which is now relinquished, and much
more remunerative that comparison is out of
the question. Certainly, I ought to regard
it no hardship to exchange for the comforts
of home, that wandering life which the laws
of Pennsylvania compels her Judges, to lead.
If I have any regret, it is in parting with
those piire and -upright men who will remain
to discharge their arduous and unquited
work.
Wishing you a prosperous administration
of public affairs, I am very respectfully and
truly yours, W3l. A. PORTER.
Letter from Ohio
[Correspondence of Tito Press.l
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Oct. 18, 1858.
The smoke of the battle is clearing away,
and we find, on observation, that the killed
and wounded are confined mostly to our own
party. We are beaten, badly beaten. But
though defeated, we are not conquered. We
will buckle on our armor for another contest
and by the. Gubernatorial election of next
year we will be able to give an account of
our labors. And I am confident that if left
free from outside interventions, we will give
fanatics that now govern our State such a re
buke as will forever annihilate them as far
as a State organization is concerned.
But in the midst of our present defeat, let us
look back at the causes which operated to
secure the triumph of Republicanism over
the Democracy. Was it any overt act. of the
masses of the party that brought on this-re
sult? No ! Was it by a desertion of the
principles of 1856 on the part of a majority
of the Democratic party? By no means.—
The policy qf ihe Administration, its organs,
and its hirelings, is the solo cause of the de
feat of the Democracy
.of our noble State.—
This- cannot be controverted. The facts, stub
born though they be,. are apparent. The
Democracy did their duty ; they worked 'no
bly, faithfully, but the burden which the. A
dministration imposed upon them, and which
they were in a measure forced to carry ; re
sulted in their defeat at the polls oxi Tuesday
last. Every candidate of our party repudia
ted the English, bribe, and the course, of "the
Washington Union, and through such repu
diation some succeeded in being electdd,
while others, as in the case of Groesbeck,
were permitted to retire. 'We, of course re
gret and deplore our defeat, but when we look
at the course of the Lecoropton organs, and
the proscriptive policy of the Administratidn,
we had no right to expect more than what
we received—the defeat Of. our• State
and a loss of from four to six Oongresssmen.
Every eye is now turned to Illinois; God
grant that the gallant Douglas.may tritzrispla
over both fanaticism and power . 1
