'The Locomotive Virginia, belonging to the
'Delaware and Lackawanna Railrom.r, exploded in the
yard — at Scranton, on Monday last. Robert Stowell,
the engineer, Wm. Brown, the fireman, Mr. Swartz,
and 'two others whose names are =known, ! were
killed. •The engine is.a complete wreck.
,Trobably there never wis an election before
in which both parties were so well pleased as that
lately. held in this Stat s e. The Itepublicans.offnurse
are pleased' with the fact that—thotigh we didn't
half try—ever,' man for whom we Voted, on the lo-
cal or State ticket, is elected. And we are pleased
with -the thought that a good majority against the
Shamo.criey this year, is a pretty fur indication that
we shall caivy , the State against them and elect a Re
publican Pretident next year.
Our:opponents are also yeti much pleased, or pro
fess to be,_ with the result.. They actually crow over
it : much as we have, seen a youbg rooster, after be
ing handsomely whipped by another and driven out
of the barnyard, crawl around behind the barn and
thereflap his aings and croW;te i xhink that the whip:
ping was no worse! It i..evident that we must
give them a severer : heating, next! year, if we wish to
keep them civil. .l
"Probably the Sham :Dnioeracy sill "take
some pains to put such men in nomination next yeay
as will be "worth laboring for ;r .for the ifoniroar
Democrat saya;in commenting on the election just
past : - , ,
"Looking,at the matter fairly,! we see no reason
to feel discouraged; but erery reason for feeling cer
tain that when olir'party . .krx alhibg worth labor
ing for it will roue its-energies nd enter the field
-with not only the disposition but! the ability to con
' •
quer." • _ .
It would b c , a pity to be beaten again for rio other
reason than that the ticket they had Londnated 'wa.;
not " worth laboring for."' -

To show thit the editor gets o. nearer' the truth
than usual when he makes that statement we give
the vote of that party in the con ty for this year and
three years past, as follows: In 1856, for Buchanan
2548 . ; in 1857 for Packer, 241. • in 185 S, for Por
ter, 1954; in 1851, for
Wright, i t4 . )91.
It 101 be perceived Loin the above figures that the
hunker vote In the county is .15711eis - this, year than
it was in 1653,318 less than it nits in 1557 andhuly
137 more than it was last Year.] It muserequire a
brilliant Mathematical genius to cipher .out from
these figures a " Democratic' gain of 451. We sup
pose that about 137 men in the party were disgusted
with their,ranning "old line whips" last year, and
staid at borne.

tir We give much of our sintce„ this week, in
an account of the mad attempt ofi" old John Brown,",

itY unhinged the reason of Bro n and made him a
. .
monomaniac on the subject o freeing slaves and
pelting slaveholders.
, . .
:While all parties condemn the unlawful enterprise
which has terminated so suddenly 4ild so fatally, the
champions and apologists-of slavery oppression.seek
to -fasten the guilt of transaction upon the
• publican party. Nothing could he more nnju It
is.a distinctly avowed 'doctrine ) of our party that,
as the . States are sovereign an s d'slavery is a local af.
• fair of the States, we have no right under the Con.
stiMtion 'to interfere with its existence in any. State.
Iratiofished, it must be by the Stales themselves in
which it exists.
Brown does not claim to actfur or with any party.
Ever since his conflicts with }he Missouri Bolder
Ruffians in Kansas—in whiChtlieta two or more,
of his sons lost their lives--he ms been nt deadly
fend with slavery and theniaveholders. And if the
doughfacea who are so eagel- to charge Lis acts upon
others, would lionestly search fur the rnigin of thii
wild raid upon "old Virginia's Ishore,7 they would
find it in the guilt* inactivity of !the federal authori
ttes.w en calked upon to protect the peaceful settlers
of Kansas against Border Ruffian Unladen.. If the
Government had been half as prompt to repel the
armed hordes that poured over the Missouri border
and ravaged with fire and sword the plains of Kansas,
as It was to put down the Hit Ferry insurrec
tion, we should never have heard of "Ossawattomie
,Rrown" in Virginia. • But the ptople of Kansas were

A general warfare commenced, chiefly led on by
a man named Chainbers- whose house commanded .
