the "Glenwood bark-peeler" anilreilt-peeltr will
attract a crowd, on that occasion. -
Ou Friday last, news was received at Mont
rose by telegraph that the Atlantic Telegraph Cable
had been successfully laid, and the New York Dil
lies which reached here in the evening•of that day,
confirmed the report. The-news caused great ex
citement here,=---as it appears to have-done through
outtthe country,-„---tMd in the evening various 'means
were resorted to by the more
_demonstrative) of our
citizens to let off their surplus enthusiasm'. Having
no loud-mouthed,cannon to make the heavens-rever
berate their joy, they resorted tb boV
fires, Orch-lights, fifpf.i and drains, the music of the
'Montrose Band, ke.•
Vufortunately, the light and the •ringing of the .
-bells, caused people residing a mile_or tirollistaneto
suppose that a fire - Was raging in Montrose, and SOlir
'hastily left their beds , and hurried to town under tat

News of the successful accomplishment of the
greatest enterprise of the nineteenth ,century—the
laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable—will be found
in our columns this week. Tile importance of this
event, and its ultimate influence on the intercourse
of mankind and the fate °illations, it is impossible to ,
estimate. The `! ends of the earth" are brought to
gether, time and space arc practically annihilated,
and human thought and lintnan intelligence may
now be flashed around the world on the wings of
electricity. Puck's famous boast that he coidd " put
a girdle round * about the earth in forty mlstutes,l' is
more than realized. 'What may not human genius
and_ enterprise accomplish? The wildest dreams - of
the poets are surpassed.by the stern Tealltics of mod

re' F. F. Blhir, jr., has been defeated for Con
gress in the St. Lonis district, 3lissouri. Three can.
didata were run—Blair, Emancipationist ; Barrett,
Democrat; - and Breckenridge, gtherican: Barrett
beat Blair somd 4110 rotes, though the united rote of
Blair and Brealenridge was about sbou larger t4n
that of Barrett; Breckenridge was as openly and
decidedly.anti-Eecompten as Blair, so that the result
cannot fairly be claimed as a Lecotapton victory.
A St. I.cuis correspondent of the New York Trib
une says of this result:
"It certainly is not owing to Mr. Blait's • unpopn ;
larity, for he is:the most-popular of the three candi
dates—nor to his Congressional course, fur the Le ,
compton swindle has been repudiated by the people
<—nor to the jsfine . of emancipation, presented by the
ReptiblicansdOr that policy, also, has unquestionably
been indcirsed
It is owing to the - great number of fraudulent votes
cast—to the desertion of the Irish to the National
Democracy—tp the division of 'the free-State party
by the running of Brecrienridge, an Anti-Le
eompton American -Is-tit the expenditure of ttlno,f)nt)
at least by the , agents of the Federal Administration
—to the zeal of the slaveholders who oppose entanci•
pinion-0 the treachery of the leading. Pro-titavery
Know Nothingpoliticians, and to the idleness on the
day of the election of the minor eafiditlates and of
ficeholders of 'the _Free Democracy."
Intelligence from Watiliugton states that the news
was received there in the most rapturous manner by
the official, Who ran , about congratulating one Mt
other on the triumph of Slavery and Democracy. It
will be obserVed that at the South as Well as the
North, pro-Slavcryism and sham Democracy are
identical.
We learn Ithiit Mr. Blair will contest the iv
turn 'of Mr. Barrett to Congress, on the ground of
frauds In the polling of illegal or double votes iti.sev-
end wards. pf the fraudulent voting there is not
much doubt, por that it was eheouraged and procur
ed by the moneY and.prontises of the fedetal tinito
iitration. The St.. Louts Ev(tt;ltir Yetes (American)
says t "The vote polled yesterday was enormous,
and we hate Metwith no one who does net declare

I was breaking down under the terrible m

face with death, when I was writing this ex
aniination, mid had to break off abruptly,
leaving two
_heads untouched, and not even
alluded to. Besides these too entire heads,
now postponed, there .was another, which I
wished to bring before the American people,
to wit: The conduct of an Administration
and a Senate, (called Dtnnocratie,) which has
done, and is , dning, what\ no former Adminis
tr,ation and Senate, (whether Whig, Federal,
pemocratic,Or Republican) ever did!—that
to say, suppressing and concealing the eviden
ces of a foreign negotiation after it is all over
and dOtie with; which negotiation is surround•
ed by,circumstances which connect it with a
stlerne to.bring On a separation of the Slave
from ibe Tree States. I speak of the Gadsden
negotiation, and - of fifty millions he wag au•
thorived to give for a broadside of Mexico,
witkka port on the Gulf of California, and a
tillxirty to It, to Eta the United States South,
after the separation; to which point all the
scheijies for a Southern Pacifit railroad tend,
vv_hilit the credulous public ate mdde to be
lieve they are hunting the best way to'Cali

becanse California rejects Slavery. Every
C r aton-loving State Legislature should post
-its Senator under instructions to bring these
hidden negotiations- to the public View, tint' s
with but littfe prospect of

•It will not do to deny these facts. They
are too fresh in the recollection of every

The Democratic party, by its acts, goes in
for spreading African Slavery over all the

of the free white man of .the North, who
may desire to make his abode where land is
