On tho 22nd mat., two or tbree men employed on tlio railroad between Car lisle,and; Mcolianicsburg, got into a dispute about eome trifling matter, when one of the party, an Irish man,- named John Sullivan, struck a fellow laborer, named' James Ilooir, (also an Irishman,) a powerful i blow on the head with a pick.axo. The axeponetra- j ted the head to the depth of three inches, producing . a frightful gash, and it is a matter of surprise that j death did not ensue immediately. Tho injured man 1 wbs taken to tho Poqr-house, where ho lingered in gr.cal agony for two days and died. After his death the Coroner of tho county, Peter Barnhart, Esq., summoned a jury, who, after examining the body and several witnesses, returned a verdict in accordance with (be facts above stated. •• Sullivan.baa. made his-escape, and as no reward has been offered for his arrest, wo suppose he wilt be permiltcd lo escape punishment.

'Hie result ofThe recent.efeotion should leach the Federalists of this State a wholesome lesson —for, b'eyoi fl question, the people have, in a most decided voire, placed their seal, of condemnation upon the m< asures advocated by that party* And what were tnd issues decided 1 ( First—The Federalists advocated the doctrine of *» protection.” They, look the ground that the present tariff* did not afford Bufficlent protection to capital, and they taxed their wits to prove this. Their Governor mounted the stump, and his voice was heard in half the counties of the State, and the burthen of his song was “ more protection.” The issue was made by tho. Federalism, and ac cepted by the Democrats. Every Democratic candidate for Congress took bold ground in favor of the present tariff, and against the special legis i lailon advocated by our political opponents.— This, then, was the prominent question at issue in the late contest, and the peqple, in an emphatic voice, decided against the Federalists, We hope, therefore, that this question has been for* 1 ever in Pennsylvania,' Again—The Federalists (at least in a majority of the counties,) denounced the Democratic mem bers of Congress who had voted for the Compro mise measures. Although the Compromise Dills were originated by Mr. Clay, and after having passed both Houses of Congress, were signed by President Fillmore, yet the Federalists of this State, in the hope of making a Utile political cap ital, took issue with the Democrats, and de nounced the men who. had favored those great measures—measures, but for which, the stability 1 of the Union was in danger. Here again thel Democrats met their opponents, and boldly de fended the Union and the Compromise measures. lAnd what was the result T The Democratic Congressmen who voted for the measures have all been returned by increased majorities, while of the Federalists Who voted.against them, but three have been re-ejected, and they, by a decreased vote—thus proving, beyond a question, that the Democrats were in the right, and tho Federalists in the wrong. We shall now see, after such an expression of the people, whether the notorious Stevens, of this State, will be willing to carry out his threat, and introduce a bill for the‘‘repeal” of .lhe adjustment measures of the last session. 'This, then, was another issoo between Federal ism and Democracy, in which the.latter came off 'victorious. ■ 13,753 13,347 10,655 72,596 , Again—The Federalists attempted to mislead the poorer portion of the people, by misrepresen tation and falsehood—by assuming that they (the aristocratic Federalists) were the only Hue friends of (he poor man I This is an old trick of our opponents. Immediately before. every election (hey pretend great love for (he poor than, and shed many crocodile (ears because of his poverty.— Bui o/Vcr tho election their demeanor'is entirely changed, and (hey pass those same poor men without a nod of recognition. Tlio poor labor ing men ot* this State, however, are not so blind as to be led astray from their true interests. Most of them are reading men, and a majority of them quite ; nhteUigent, and well informed in regard to (he political principles of the two parties. Hence their sympathies for Democracy. In the late con test four'flfihs of- them voted fyr the Democratic candidates, which was evidence that they did not believe (he hypocritical professions made by de-. signing Federalists. . We repeal, then—the result of (he late contest in this Slate should teach our opponents a whole some lesson. It should teach them that the doc trines and measures they advocate, are odious to the people. Whether the Federalists will again unfurl the banner of •* protection "—whelher'ihey will again enter the field with the same issues in scribed upon their flag, we know not, nor indeed do we caro; but so sure as they do, another de feat, still more disastrous than their late one, awaits them. All the world and tho rest of mankind rccolleoi how Stephens and Toombs, two whig members of Congress from Georgia, ranted and stormed about Southern rights. They were head men in starting the Southern Preet, at Washington, and were (ho must ultra “atl-hazurd-snd-laal-cxtrcmily” men. The bills before Contfrcaa were tho most villainous things extant. The editor of (ho Timea, in their Stale, took his cue, and went for secession with might and main. Sltphena and Toomla have backed out, and are note exhorting the people of Georgia to qequieace. They have done jusl whul wo were satisfied they, would do. If any pno was deceived by thoir bluster, lie must have boon as green os a young gourd. • The Conaii. tutionaliat thus makes itself merry at the expense of the poor editor r Pressing on In his ardor tho editor got rather ahead of (ho music, and (InalTy ahead of Mr. Toombs.. Tho (utter drew bach, and finally, when tho equal partici* potion was refused by Congress, said m debate that there was no aggnaaion upon the South, and no in* justice dune her.

Trttß FUOITIVE SLAVB BItt^KBDBRAt* CONSISTENCY. | It affords us m tittle amusement, when, seated L in our sanctum, poring over our different exchange ( papers; in search of news, to'wUiless the Jim I articles of the Federal organs, ion theeub* jecl of the Fugitive Slave Law. : They all wish } to display a wonderful amount of philanthropy for } the suffering portion of mankind who are in bon* } dage, by hurling terrible anathemas at every Democratic member of Congress who supported ’ the bill. But then they find an obstacle in the I way,and they, are puzzled to know bow lode t nouncc Democrats on account of .their course, and. ' prainc Federalists for havirigpursued a similar . one. They see the inoonsistehoy—*thej see that r it is so glaring that every one must notice it— , but yet it mml bo done; They are anxious to make fair weather with the abolitionists, and to , do this they denounce the Fugitive Slave Law ; and the Democrats who supported it; but* yet they must praise and applaud the members.of Congress of their ‘own parly who supported the same law*! How can this be donel ThereVthe rub. Federal ingenuity alone. can find a way to overcome the difficulty. We therefore find in the , Federal papers one column devoted to (he abuse | of Democrats for having supported this law, and , In a separate article, in another column, we find | President Fillmore, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, t and other prominent men of the Federal party lauded and praised because of the love for the Union they exhibited, in giving (heir support to t this same Fugitive Slave Bill! -Thai’s the way Federal editors get over a difficulty f Our neighbor of the Jdera/d was In some such predicament as this immediately after the passage of the law.' In one column he had'an article on the subject) in which he denounced the law as dls graceful to the country—as an insult to the North, and tbo “Jocofocos” who aided Us passage as* traitors, to humanity* In another article in the same paper, President Fillmore is landed to the skies far giving peace and harmony ones more to our beloved Union, by securing the passage, and sealing with his “approval” the Compromise measures, of which the Fugitive Slave Bill was the head and from! How odf neighbor reconciled these two positions with his conscience wo can* not understand. Perhaps he had been studying elhicks under a new professor. We find that the Norih.Jlmerican, ihe Harrls burg Telegraph j the Pittsburg Gazelle , the Lan caster 'Tribune , and indeed nearly all the Federal papers of the Stale, have placed themselves in the same awkward dilemma. Such recklesness and total disregard far sincerity and truth should be.suflioient to disgust every honettt and honora ble man. These papers, week after week, flatter and applaud President Fillmore, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster far their •• patriotism and disin tered love of country, in staking their personal popularity for the sake of the Union.” They know that Henry Clay was the father and great advocate of. every section of ..the Compromise Dill, and that Fillmore and Webster were no less ardent in their support. They know that the Fu gitive Slave Law was one of the great essential sections of that bill, without which all the others were Worthless. And yet,.while they lavish the most extravagant praise on these leaders of their party far their support of the bill, they denounce, as almost devils, every Democrat .who, far the sake*of the Union, and far the sake'of peace, pur sued the same course! Oh, consistency Shame, where is thy blush 1 , A Real “Fire .Eater.*’— li appears that Vir ginia has a few fools yet, who prate flippantly about a dissolution of the Union, ami advocate non-intercourse between the North and Ihe South. On the 2d inst. a-.dinner was given to Messrs. Mason and Hunter, at Warrentown, Va., at which a great amount of steam was left off*. The little squad composing the dinner party, are dissatisfied, it seems, with the compromise bills passed by Congress, and .they sweat in their wrath that they (the dinner party,) will demolish the North, body and breeches. . Oh, don’t—don't if you please, Messrs. Firo eaters. From (ho volunteer toasts drunlt on the occasion of this dinner party, we select tho following as a specimen.

Wo sincerely hope something may be done by tho next session of Congress. Tbo following preamble and resolutionsjvcre also unanimously adopted by tho Convention—which, we take it, is tho most emphatic vuico that has yet ema nated from Maryland on tho subject of the Compro mise measures: . . Whereas, At the first scssionof tho 31st Congress, just closed, a series of measures were adopted, after long and .earnest discussion, intended to allay tho excitement on the slavery question. And whereas, the said measures have given satisfaction to a very large portion of tho citizens of the Union, still in different portions of the North and South we see that disaffection, on those questions exists, and is giving rise to language and proceedings greatly to be re gretted by every true lover of the Union. Therefore, us conductors of the Press of Maryland, and expres. sing what wo know to bo the feelings of tho people of the Stale, as well as oar own calm and deliberate Judgment, wo hereby . .
