cates a complete victory.
1 -Among the'otber means resorted to, to as
sist the Lecompton policy of the Administra
tion, by some of those who pretend to oppose
that policy, is* the* employment of the West
Chester Village Record, a Republican paper, in
-the utterance of the inoßt scandalous misstate
ments: "We have not halted to refute those
which concerned The Pbebs, because they were
so aelf* evidently unjust as to require no contra
diction.’ ' These manoeuvres and fabrications
have, however, awakened such disgust among
those whobaveberetofore supported The Record
that the Chester county Ttmea, another journal
of similar politics, is beinglargoly patronized in
place of The Record. The Times by the way,
is conducted with unusual vigor and sagacity.
.Another .evidence of the spirit awakened
by the course of The Record is the appeal of
many of ihe-most distinguished men in the
Opposition ranks, against the candidate of The
'Record? and in favor of Mr. Hicksian.
•' ■The/ollowlng extract from this appeal, with
the names. appended, will Bhow the character
of this important'demonstration: ,
“ Admitting’batMrVßroomall, if elected, might
ably represent the principles for whose tuoeess we
are using sU our.bfist energies, there still remains
for our oonsideifation the question, which of the
tyro ’candidates, Mr.,Broomall or Mr. Hiokman,
under existing ofr.oarostanoes, .stands the better
.ohance of ’ being . eteoted ? Authentic aocounts,
frdm all portions of thodfstrict, show conclusively
that'the vote‘for Mr. must greatly ex
ceed that for Mr Broomall. To give Mr. Broomall
ayote of.two ; thousahd.in Chester county would
require'an thirty-seven votes for each
election distriot. A careful canvass of the county
satisfies ub that It oannot be higher than this. In
some townships he may redeive more,-in the
largest number of + distriots- he must receive.less.
Ada to this eighteen hundred votes in Delaware
county, the highest omount olaimed by his friends,
‘and "we shall have an aggregate of only thirty
eight hundred votes for Mr. Broomall in the
whole distriot. The.unlted vote of both counties
will amount to seventeen thousand. Mr. Broomall’s
election, therefore,'may reasonably be set down as
an impossibility. Would It not be madness, then,
to. let our oause suffer an inglorious‘defeat, by
throwing away our votes upon the weakest oandi
date? .Should not onr friends be on their guard,
when they observe the significant foot that the
• Leoomptonitea are striving so earnestly to increase
the vote for Mr. Broomall, and to diminish the
vote for Mr. Hickman ? Wo appeal to you, thou,
follow oitisens! in sober earnestness and in good
faith, looking only at the welfare of our common
oountry, to strike an effeotlve blow for our prin
ciples, by usiting all our efforts in support of John
Hiokman, ,who, daring his whole Congressional
oareerj has proved himself to be an able and elo-
Suent defender of Northern rights and republican
berty."

A Powerful Article-
„At tW request of many citizens we re
publish the following powerful article, from
the last Sunday Dispatch:
How to Oarrt as Election.—Under the Ag
gressive and oppressive-system, praotioed by the
present National Administration, the rights of the
people are becoming as nothing. The Govern
ment, oomposed of our servants, dictates to us
what our opinions shall be, .whom we shall elect
to represent us, and how far independence or
shall be allowed to citizens.
Slnoe Mr. Buchanan suddenly changed his policy
U reference to the admission of Kansas, and do
rfded' that the people-of that Territory should
bavo no’otber institutions than those whloh were
prepared'for tholr* adoption* by border ruffians
wid .fraudulent Conventions, the whole course of
the National Administration has been marked by
bold invasions upon popular freedom, and by arbi
trary, malignant, and corrupt attempts to put
■down any expression of public opinion.
| . The members of. Congress eleoted by tho Bemo
oratio party, who were whipped into the sup*
p«rt of.the tyranny of the central Power, sub
mitted to ’hat dictation, despite their oonstltn
eats, and In defiance, of their known views and
Itafres. Having preferred to bo treacherous to
their professions, they 'ought £t least to bnvo
bad the courage to submit their actions fairly to
consideration, and to nhHe tho decision of tho
oeoplo"''BatU was manifest that the popular
sentiment was against the 'base desertion of
nrinolple-of whloh the Lncomp'on Ooner*cstnen
( »ere> guilty. It, was plain that the fooling* of
an Indignant, insulted, and betrayed constituency
*ere rising to punish and annihilate them To
.oteet this opposition boldly, and to bverwmo by
argument,, if argument oould be found. Was the
>nlv means whloh these unfaithful servants
could have honorably adopted. Has snob been
the jnnnner in whloh the canvas* has been con
inoted ? Let facts answer. The General Govern
ment bns brought all its Influence and authority
o prevent the expression of opinion, and to
Danish the daring citizens who ventured to sng
rest that the LeonmDton Congressmen had not
done their duty. Removal from office ha? been
held -in terror .over every Government slave,
relentless persecution for the future is menaced
against every freeman. Nor is this tho worst:
»be. Government has descended to a fearful svstora
of .bribery to carry oat Its designs and to secure
the re-election of the Lecomptnn Congressmen for
this city. The Mint, which does less work now
than ,it did years ago. in oonsequonoe of the es
tablishment of the New York assay office, has In
creased the number of laborers and employees
largely. .-With no aotual work for them to do,
they are pensioned by the United States Govern
ment, and fattened up like, hoes for the grand
killing-day on Tuesday noxfc, when they will vote
for their patrons, and probably be discharged in a
Week afterward.. . .
.Bnt this institution is bnt a feeble means of cor
ruption. compared 'with the navy yard, which Is
•turned into avast batraooon, and swarms with the
human property which belongs to the member for
.’he First distriob—the heavy oapltal upon which
be founds his hope'of re-election. We paid a visit
to that plaoo- lost week, and, much ns we hed
heard of the sbameles# manner in which the yard
had been orammed with partisans of “ the. boat-,
buUder’sxon;”'WHo are paid'out of the treasury
for doing nothing but electioneering, we own that
: the reality far exoeeded our anticipation.'
- We saw a yast swarm of persons, so thick that
they- were, in eaoh other’s way, a great many of
whom'were sitting about and standing aVat
.leisurely, having no other anxiety than to kill
. time.
WV saw thirty-seven men, two of them having
orwbftr&t engaged in turning over a pieoe of tim
ber about thirty feet long.' Tbo same work could
have been done by the two men who had tho
crowbars
' ‘ We saw nineteen men dragging & pair of tim
ber wheels, from which were slung six lnOh-and-a
hslf planks. The nineteen were doing what two
men and one borso would have accomplished.
: We saw great numbers of men engaged in the
interesting occupation of removing timber from a
Sue and; plaoing it in another pile a few feet on,
iere being no apparent necessity for the removal,
.and the whole operation being a useless one, in
dolgod-in tb pass away the lime until the next
day, when it was very probable that the timber
would be plaeed in ita original position.
. We saw six men oooupled in loading ono oart
with shavings and obips, whloh wore to be taken
out of the yarji, probably to supply fuel to some
of the friends of tpe Widows* Friend Four other
men'were harrying the chips to the pile from whioh
the oart was loaded. Thus ten men were employed
In this operation, which, being for private advan
tage! should nave been done at the expense ot par
ties interested. There were several oajrts thus en
gaged* and probably sixty men Wero assisting in
this highly important description of “ Government
work.” '
We saw numbers of men pulling at ropes wbloh
were too slight to accomplish any material rervloe;
and w*-thought of;the long pul! and theetrobg
f ull which the Government was thus lending to
be friend of the revival of the slave trade.
-'We'law,* in short; that there were something
like twenty-five hundred men, as near aswe could
wtimate, employed to do the work of fivo hundred,
and that the Government was paying from three
.thousand,to four,thousand dollars a day to corrupt
the eleotlv© franchise In the First dlstrlot, to over*
bear.the free expression of the opinion of votero,
and to buy the re-election of tbo Hon. Thomas B.

[Correspondence of The Press.j
- Washington, October 11, 1858.
is no doubt that a movement will bo mode
in the next Congress to investigate tho profligate
employment of the public funds in the late eleo
t!ons, aod especially the manner in which they have
been used against the Demooraoy of Illinois. A
gentleman now here informs me that the extent to
which this matter has been carried will, whon it
is exposed to the people, oxoite such a sensation as
ha? never been known in the United States. Gov.
Brown, of the Post Office Department, Mr. Cobb y
and Mr. Touoey,havogono to extremes in punish
ingmon who have not agreed with them in opinion.
One item In thia grand development will be tho
showing up of a mammoth speculation out of the
purchase of antbraolte ooal for the public service.
Mr. Beorctary Stanton, who has grown to be a
power in Kanß&s, and will, in all probability, be
a Sonator from 'tho new State, is on his way to
■Washington. He is expeotod to roaoh hero Mon
day or Tuesday next.
I enclose yon a highly important oorreßpondenoe
between ex-Senators Foote and Dixon, tho latter
of Kontnoky, on the sabjeot of the persecution of
Douglas, and other toplos You can publish after
tbo rleotion. Mr. Dixon supported Mr. Buoh&n&n
in 1856, and is now vehemently against the per
sonal part of bis Kansas polioy.
. A large sum of money has beon sent forward
from hero to operate on your Congressional elec
tions. Mr. Phillips is in hopes that, with the aid
of plenty of funds and Mr. Broom, ho may worry
through; while Col. Florence is full of gratitude
that so muobof the people’s revenue should be
squandered to secure his return to the post ho fills
with suoh statesmanlike ability. The Boston
merchants paid Daniel Webster’s debts, bat Unde
Samuel must keep the honorable Thomas.
Do not wonder if the movement in favor of a
llboral and lasting adjustment of the revonuelaws
should be responded to in the Southern States, and
by tbe Shutbern Demooraoy.
It is said that Mrs. Bennett, whose retnrn from
Paris, with an interesting family, was announced
some weeks ago, will take espeoial pains to mako
their Washington residence, during the coming
winter, the abode of refinement and elegance.
What a rush there will be to get into these de
lightful reunions f
Jefferson Davis, in his late speeoh at Portland,
announced a dootrlne that will greatly exeroise
th oquid nunes in Mississippi—being neither more
nor less than the assertion that a Territorial
Legislature can exclude slavery by refusing to
protea it. This is no new idea of the distin
gaiehed Davis, thongh It wilt greatly surprise
some of those who have been rolylng upon him to
help them on in especial devotion to Southern
rights. Nothing so dears tho vision as for a
Northerner to visit the South, or a Southerner to
visit the North. Even Mr. Pryor, of tho Rich
mond South, has been vegetating in the great
cities of the East, greatly to his delight.
. Do not be surprised If, after Congress meets in
Decetobor, a Southern Democrat shall rise in the
Senate or House, and offer a bill repealing the
English bill, so as to allow Kansas immediate ad
mission, or as soon as sho has & republican Consti
tution ratified by the people. This, it is now esti
mated, would bring hor into the Union before the
4th of M&roh, and give her three electoral votes for
1860. Strangor things than this have happened
When Congress .adjourned in the summer Douglas
was ostracised by almost tho entire South. Now
he is landed in mnny quarters. This was blow
numbor one at the Administration. Lock out for
blow number two.
The recognition of General Jerez as minister
from Nicaragua has oreated no little flattering
with John Appleton, who had his arrangements,
as he thought, so sconrety made. Finding him
self likely to lose a handsome fee, he has suddenly
changed front, and is disposed to unite with any
body. General Jerez is, howover, a shrewd gen
tleman, and knows too well how to take earo of the
interests of hiß Government, to be induced to put
himself in the power of snoh a smooth-faced triok
ster. The General will doubtless act direotly with
the President, and permit no speoul&tors to inter

The great trottfng match for $2,000, between Lancet
and Lantern, was iron by the former, whereat there is
no surprise. The track was heavy, and the time neces
sarily slow, though extremely good rnder the dream
stsnoes. The betting, at the start, was one hundred to
forty on Lancet, but after the second heat no wagers
could be had.
The Administration Democrats of the Ninth district
have nominated Gourerneur Kemble for Congress.
Ihe nomination was warmly contested by General
Bcragham, who led Mr. Kemble on the first and

ADJOUttNBD HBBTINa OP THE YOVXO Mhh’B
CgßteTiAn Asaoontlos .—Agreeably to announcement,
an adjourned meeting of the Young Men's Christian
Association was held at the Bansom-street Church last
evening, at 7% o’clock. After reading the Sorlptures
by tho chairman, Mr. Geo. H. Stuart, and prayer by a
clergyman, the report of the Committee on Branch
A'soclattons was read by the secretary, fho main fd&t
tare of this report was a resolution to consolidate all
the associations in tho different sections of the city,
and divide the same into five dlstriats, as follows:
Northeast district to be oampored of that part of the
oity north of OaUowhill and east of Sfxih street;
northwest district, all west of Bixtb, aud north of
Arch street; wost district, all west of the Schuylkill;
southwest district, all uohth of Arch aud west of Sixth
street; southeast district, all oast of Sixth, and south
of Callowbill street.
After some discussion, In which the inexpediency of
suoh a movement was warmly urged, tho whole subject
Was, by a l&fge vote, Indefinitely postponed. A motion
being made to discharge the committee, elicited several
propositions for its continuance, in order to oonfer with
the branch associations, with the view of establishing
aclosorunion between them A member of the oom
mltteo fet&ted that the discussion with reference to Ita
action was in strict adCofdande with his own views, and
now that four months of valuable time had been ex
pended in cndtarorlng to devise some practical means
of consolidating without success, he hoped the com
mittee would he discharged, since their efforts had
found no hotter fate than an indefinite postponement.
It was finally deoided by a largo vote tW continue the
committee, with instructions to wait upon the West
Bhliade’pbla Association, to Inform them of the action
of this meeting, and state that the only reason for cot
accepting them at this time was the manifest impolicy
of doing so. At this point the proceedings were ibter
epersed with singing and prayer, after which a series of
resolutions were read by a member, and unanimously
adopted, complimentary of tho worth and services of
Mr. Henry H- Murray late recording secretary of the
association, who has recently moved away from the
oity.
The report of the Oommittee on Nominations
for officers at the ensuing election, evoked a considera
ble amount of lharp-shdoting among the members.
The committee for that purpose having presented but
one name for eaoh position, it was advocated by a large
number of members present to open the nominations,
as that would be exercising a more republican spirit.
A motion being, therefore made to add one or more
names to the nominations for each office, it was unani
mously carried. The ohairraan here made a personal
allusion to himself, stating that after having served
five years as chairman, he hoped that in future be
would be allowed a speech-mdklng and voting position
among the members especially as it would afford him
great pleasure to nominate mw»y of thoso around him
better qualified than himself £or the place he had so
long filled. Immediately after this amotion was made
to close tho nomination for ohatrm&n without naming
any additional candidate, which complimentary move
in favor or their present efficient presiding ofilcer was
unaolcuoußly’carrled. -
After spending thirty minutes Jn completing the
nomlnaVons for the remaining offlosra’i and transacting
tome other less important business, ti*® meeting ad
journed at ten o’clock. The meeting *was large, and
,-the proceedings highly interesting.
