    Bad Fix.— A lad named Tracy, 14 years
of age, on Saturday forenoon lasi, teas pass
ing through Colt’s Meadows, carrying the
dinner of one of the workmen'ln tho armory,
and was passing along where the snow was
about a fool deep, when he sudddenly found
himself going down, down, down, he knew
not where ; but, to use his own expression,
he thought he was “ going to heaven dr the
other place, sure.” When he struck bottom,
he found himself in five feet of water at the
som of a forty foot well, wih a smooth
k wall, all the way up. Fortunately, in
criming to the surface of the water, he found
a stout plank, upon which he supported him
self for half an hour, calling for help; but
no help came. Gelling desperate, the boy
out with his knife, and, while holding on with
one hand to the plank, cut off his boots, tore
off his coat and vest, and then, bracing his
back against the wall and his feet upon the
other side, he commenced working his way
up, by inches. After struggling iu this way
for half an hour, he succeeded in reachnig
daylight, completely exhausted ; hut thankful
to escape with his life. His escape from
death was remarkable, under the circumstan
ces, —Hartford Couranl.
Buchanan’s Election—A Moral De
feat. —It is now evident that the election of
Mr. Buchanan is a moral defeat. It is equal
ly evident that the war between the North
and the South did not end on the 4th Novem
ber, 1856. It rather had a new beginning
then, and will certainly not end before 1860.
Vvc are perfectly satisfied that the triumph,
ar it is termed, of the Democratic parly, is the
mere success of forces, and not the definite
vindication of principle—a simple respite for
the present, without any security for the fu
ture.—N. 0. Della.
Tho composition of Mr. Buchanan’s Cab
met continues to cause much excitement
among tho Democracy, especially among the
Virginians, who seek to assume a sort of
guardianship over the President elect. It is
considered as pretty much settled that one
old-line Whig will bo placed in the Cabinet,
as a reward (or the aid rendered by Silver
Grey Whiggery to Hunker Democracy, in
achieving a pro-Slavery victory. Howell
Cobb is Mr. Buchanan’s selection for the
Treasury department, and if any Pennsylva
nia gets a place in the Cabinet, it will be J.
Glancey Jones, and not Forney, Black or
Buckalew.

ever few newspapers are laken, and where common
schools are too. new and Ido feeble id have ..educated
the present generation of voters-Uthe bWckflag of
Slavery obstructs the sunshine. AsrUngertp Arjier
ica might distinguish those portions dfottr'iuitiittry
most blessed with Education, Intelligence,' Thrift
and Virtue, by scanning the relprns
lial contest of 1856. we have tailed of-presentsiic-
I cess, not because the People are against us, but be-
I cause that large portion whodid not hear or read the
argoment and do not know what were the real ques
tions at issue, weqt almosl aolid againt ns, reversing'
the verdict which the great'majoKty of the educated
and intelligent endeavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path of pressing duly.—
With no unmanly repinings over what is irrevuca.
ble—with no abatement of heart or hope because the
triumph"of Liberty in her .new ordeal is not won at
the Long Island and White Plains of her straggle— I
With no shadow of regret that the responsibility of
governing is not confided to her champions before
the People were fully ready to sustain them—we be.
gin afresh the work of diffusing that vital truth
which, in regard to the concerns of this world as
well as of Ibe next, makes Free Indeed. NoW, intho
Slave Power’s heyday ofvictory, when its ministers
and servitors aro gathering and plotting to make the*
most of their triumph and "crush out" the spirit
whicli they vainly believe to be crucified and entomb
ed—now, when the faint-hearted ur cold-hearted who
lately basked ia the sunshine of our premature hope
are hauling off to repair damages and talking os
abandoning tho rugged arena of Politics formarf
quiet and flowery fields—now, in this honrofwearie
ness and shadow, Tub Tribune renews its vows of.
eternal hostility to every farm of tyranny over the
bodies or souls of men—to the shameful assumption
that the benighted and feeble, wheathcr in soul or
body, arc to he regarded and treated as the con
venience or tho prey of their wiser or stronger breth
ren—to the domination of despots and oligarchs,
whether of empires or plantations—to the enslavers
of cities and kingdoms in Europe or the breeders for
the auction-block and tho cotton field in Virginia or
Alabama.
The doctrine that no human being was ever crea
ted for the benefit or advantage ofanolhor—that all
service between man and man should be free and
reciprocal—that the laborer should not toil and sweat
(o pamper others’ pride or minister to others’ luxury,
but for tho sustenance and comfort of those near and
pear to him—is destined to certain triumph. I
must prevail, for God reigns, and Earth was nolcrea
ted to bo a theater ofinjusticc, oppression and misery
for ever. It must triumph ; for ail true prophecy
affirms and the vindication of the Divine benignity
mpcrtatively requires iL It must triumph; for
Democratic America cannot always remain tha
scoff of aristocrats and the' shame of reformers pnd
liberals throughout the Old World. It must triumph
for Man’s history is hot a chaos or a riddle, but
every where instinct with mejning; and no heroic
effort ever failed of its effect—no drop of martyr
blood was ever shed in vain.
But oven if we Republicans were disposed to fold
our arms in slumber, our adversaries would not per.
mil It. They are busy to-day in lengthening their
cords and strengthening their stakes with a vigilance
and activity which reveals a consciousness on their
part that their dominion mnsl bo made sure forth
with or their scepter will have forever departed.—
To-day, myrmidoms of ilho Slave Power threaten
and harass' Northern Mexico, are encamped in the
heart of Central America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty
Republics, while it by turns leers and scowls at
Cuba, while its most ruthless bands are precipitated
on devoted Kansas, under tho protection and smiles
of Ibe Federal Adminisi'ation. Even ae we write,
the telegraph informs'us that twenty Free-State
men, guilty of attempting to defend their homes
against the rapineand violence of Buford’s and Titus’s
blood-thirsty bandits, have been convicted by Le
compte's Court of manslaughter! and.senlenced to
five years' imprisonment at iiard labor as felons.—
This is but a fair specimen of what has long passed
for ••jimiii.n" in Kansas—a Justice which takes tho
criminals into pay and atustnem-in
plundering and " wiping out” tlio innocent, whom
itlconsigns to the State prison if they are ever goaded
into the madness of resisting their oppressors. Such
crimes and wrongs os unhappy Kansas has for
twelve mouths endured, even Hungary or Poland
has ever known; and tho Power at whose instiga
tion these villainies were and are perpetrated sits
enthroned in the White House, and has just achier.
cd another four years' ascendancy in tho Federal
Government, Who, in view ofthesc (acts, can aay
that Republicans may now pile tbeir arms, even for
an hoar?
Tux Tribune will be, ai it has been, a Political
journal—avowedly, though not exclsively so. It re
cognizes the truth that Freedom and Slavery are
here grappled in deadly conflict, and that in the re.
suit one of them must Ipsa all control over the Fed.
eral Government. But, while it gives prominence
and emphasis to the discussion and elucidation of
the great issue oftlie day, it sinks nunc of the char
acrleislic of a Business and Family Newspaper.—
The proceedings of Congress, like those in Kansas,
will be watched and reported by an able and fearless
corps ofCorrespondenls, while from London, Paris,
Constantinople, Havana, San Francisco, Albany and
other centers of interest, our special advices will be,
as they have been, fresh and reliable. A member
of our Editorial corps—Bayard Taylor—is now in
Northern Europe, end will spend the Winter in
Sweden, Lapland, Russia, Ihenco making his way
next season across Siberia and Tarlary to the mouth
of the Amour, and thence homeward by the Pacific
and California, unless some change of route shall
promise greater interest and profit to our readers,
for whom alone he will write regularly throughout
bis adventurous journey, which is likely to require
(wo years for its completion. Our reports oftlie
most interesting Lectures, Public Meetings, &c.,
will be full and reliable, and our Foreign and Do
mestic News made up with a careful regard to the
condensation into our ample colums of the greatest
amount ofintelligence that is consistent with tho
uso of type of generous size. In short, if we fail to
make The Tribune worth its cost, it shall not be fur
want of expenditure or effort.
-Jfit be deemed desirable by Republicans that
The Tribune should be circulated in their several
localities, we urge them to see (hat Clubs be made
up and forwarded in due season. Tiie Postmasters
are semi-officially admonished not to aid our circula
tion, but to urge instead that, of journals deemed
“ sound,” and “ National” by the compatriots of
Atchison and Slringfcllow. We ask live Republi
cans everywhere to cars that these efforts be not
effectual to quench the light of Freedom in the
murky mists of Slavery.
