TEE ELECTION OF EON. HENDRICK 13
WRAGIIT.
We alluded to the fact, some days before the
election for a member of Congress to succeed
the lamented Scranton, that Hendrick B. Wright
had received and accepted the nomination of
all parties—that he had pledged himself to sup
port the administration of Abraham Lincoln in
suppressing the hellish rebellion at the south,
and on these views he went into the contest and
was gloriously elected. In reply to the Demo
cratic committee offering Mr. Wright their sup
port, he distinctly declared that he was-the
candidate of no particular party, but stood np
on an open Union platform, pledged to the pur
pose of sustaining the government under which
we live, and maintaining and vindicating the
laws under all circumstances and in all places.
The Republicans of the district offered Hr.
Wright their support in the following resolu
tion, passed at their conference :
Resolved, That we hereby tender to Hon. H.
B. Wright the nomination of this Republican
conference as a Union candidate, for whom the
people may cast their suffrages in full confidence
that he will vigorously sustain the general gov
ernment in this crisis, and do all in his power
to uphold and maintain our nationality, put
down rebellion, and will resist and oppose to
the uttermost the establishment and recogni
tion of the confederate states' government.
The principle set forth In this resolution was
endorsed by Mr. Wright in a letter in reply, in
which he distinctly stated that this combat
could not be settled by a compromise, but
that, at all hazards, the administration must
be sustained in its efforts to enforce the laws.
Altogether, then, we can only regard the elec
tion of Mr. Wright as a triumph of the Union
men of his district—as a victory of those who
have embarked in this struggle, never to yield
until they have rescued the government from
the hands of rebellion. Therefore we have a
right to expect that Mr. Wright will be true
to the following sentiments, which 'we find in
his letter of acceptance to the Republican com•
lattice :
As desirable as peace may be, we cannot af
ford to accept it with a dismembered and broken
government. Those men who would destroy it
will learn that it can only be done over the
slaughtered bodies of northern millions... Nor
ewe they be permitted to have a separate inde
pendsmt rtrrmn .1011 p nn
exist within what nowconstitutes the limits of
the American' Union. One country and one
flag should be the motto of every patriot in the
land. Better that we should expend all the
treasure of the nation, and spill the blood of
half our people, than sustain the destruction of
the fairest fabric of government ever devised
by man.
Better that thirty millions of freemen should
settle the question whether man has the capa
city to govern himself, than to postpone it for
the arbitrament of three hundred millions. It
is freedom or anarchy—a great republic; or a
great despotism. For one lam ready to meet
and dispose of the issue now. And such today
is the sentiment and opinion of every friend of
liberty in the land. So long therefore as the
good men of all parties have but one object in
common, is there any reason on earth why we
should permit ourselves to be placed in a hos
tile attitude to each other, and thus weaken
the moral power of united action?
After such declarations, and the expressed
terms of the Vision of all parties on Mr. Wright's
election, we are justified in the anticipation
that he will do all in his power to sustain the
administration. As his election was the result
of a union, we trust that the Union will be
bsnefitted by the result of his services in Con
gram.
Ws learn from Russell's lettere to the Lon
don Awl, describing his visit to Fort Pickens,
&0,, that the fort is impregnable, that the rebel
force, all told, number only 3,000, and that
they have no heavy guns, and but few gun's of
any kind. Their preparations seem to have
been vastly overrated. From his report of
Bragg's conversation, he appears to be as much
of a blatherskite as Beauregard. Capt. Adams,
of the United States frigate Sabine, has two
sons in the rebel army, a daughter acting as
Ylvandiere to the New Orleans regiment, and a
plantation in Louisiana,
Alumainusa L. Russm, Secretary of the Com
monwealth under the administration of Gov.
-Joiniston, has been appointed an aid to the
Governor, and detailed for special duty in Har
risburg. Mr. Russel is a gentleman of expe
rience and ability. In the discharge of the
multifarious duties for which he has been ap
pointed, we anticipate for him the success he
achieved in the other important positions he
tUie heretofore tilled in the government of this
6Cate.

Emmy Fru YEARS since a nation was just
emerging from the gloom and persecution of a
most bitter, tyranical rule. In the city of
Philadelphia, eighty-five years ago, a body of
brave and devoted men were engaged in the
calm deliberation of a proposition to cast off
the yoke of tyranny, and assume the indepen
dent attitude and prerogatives of an indepen
dent nation. The causes of thisdetermination,
the object of this purpose, were on the one side,
the fixed resolution of England to arrest
the spirit of progress which had been evinced
by the American colonists, and on the other
the equally established purpose to establish
for themselves a government based on equal
and exact justice, in which the rights of no
class should so far exceed those'of another as to
render them the titled representatives of gov
ernment, or the exclusive administration of law
and justice. Those who entered on that revo
lution knew for what they struggled. They
swore no oaths to destroy the government from
which they seceded, or levied no armies with
which to besiege the capital of the mother
country, steal its ships, possess themselves of
its forts, repudiate their debts or abrogate any
of their just obligations of trade or business. It
was a struggle for human emancipation from
inhuman oppression; in which the people join
ed by pledging their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors. Through all the gloomy years of
its existence—through the snows of Vally Forge
—the heat and disease of Yorktown—the bitter
frost 3 and storms of Trenton—the wild waves
and dangers of the Delaware—but one
thought and purpose animated the heroes of
the revolution. That thought was for free
dom, and that purpose the extension, of free
institutions over a contiuent. If above the
smoke of Lexington had been seen the
shrines and the persecutions of slavery as they
now exist in this government, we doubt if
ever another gun had been fired, or another
sabre flashed from the scabbard of an American
citizen to establish a government for the recog
nition of such institutions. We doubt if the
hardy pioneers from the Merrimac, the Hudson,
the Delaware and the Susquehanna would have
pushed their bold enterprises beyond the Mis
sissippi, along the. Missouri, out from the Gulf
of Mexico to the rolling waters of the Rio
Grande, or the lofty billows of the mighty Pa
cific, had they, from the beginning of their
labors to the end of their bitter strife,
dreamed that the result of their struggle would
be a yet mightier combat to establish and ex
tend the doctrines and the practices of human
bondage and slavery to the land they had
freed from a tyrant's grasp and rule. What
ever may be said of the estimation in which
slavery was held by the fathers of the revolu
tion, no correct reader of history will deny that
it was not regarded as an evil which the de
velopment of society, and the progress of the
government would correct and event/tally abol
ish. Jefferson believed in this ultimate end of
slavery; Washington anticipated its final over
throw by describing it as a dangerous element
o f society, while every great and good man
that then wrote, talked or prayed for the suc-
cess of the infsil+
•ux Lae correction of an evil that then
had but a slight influence for weal or woe, but
which was even then regarded with horror and
distrust.
During those eighty-five years, the progress
and the development of the United States have
proceeded entirely with one section of these
states. Emigration has from the beginning
been into and not from the slave states. Im
provement in all that time has gone forth from
the free states, enriching the territory beyond
their borders, extending the limits of the na
tional domain, and elevating and enriching the
national character and treasury. The history
of the revolutionary struggle, his been also the
history of those eighty-five years, so far as the
labors and enterprises of the people of the free
states are concerned. Their sources of wealth
had to be developed—the expenses of govern
ment, in the meantime met and liquidated, and
provision made for the increase in our power
by a proper regard for the domestic safety in
all its relations with a great and powerful cen
tral government. The idea of destroying the
identity of the states was never seriously pro
posed by any statesman north of Mason and
Dixon's line ; nor was the effort to interfere
with the domestic interests of those states either
attempted until John C. Calhoun broached the
doctrine of nullification. That was a clear,
defined and positive interference with the in
terests of the states, by attempting to make
such interests subservient to the will and behests
of a single commonwealth—and out of that in
terference we have had a multitude of evils,
until all that was bad and nefarious in politi
cal ambition and distrust has culminated in a
rebellion utterly, to destroy this government.
In eighty-five years, then, how gloomy lathe
aspect which the revelations of the present ex
hibit for our contemplation. We are now in
the midst of another great struggle. We still
cherish the same Declaration of Independence,
which eighty-five years ago this very_ day was
ordeked by Congress to be prepared by a com
mittee of which Thomas Jefferson was chair-
man. We still adore the same Constitution
which has so long given us strength and pres
tige and respectability before the nations of the
world. We are prosperous—we are mighty—
our laws are as much admired abroad as they
seemed to be respected at home—our credit was
the same among the bankers of Europe' as it
was with the citizen at home—and yet we are
in the midst of a mighty struggle, in which are
involved all that is sacred and dear and valua
ble to uses a people. As was the struggle in
1776 so is the contest in 1861. Then our fath
ers struggled for the creation and establishment
of a nationality—and now we combat for the
preservation and maintenance of that same na
tional*. Then our fathers struggled to undo
a yoke that was already about their necks, now
we fight against the placing of such a yoke
about our own necks. We combat for a coun
try and a principle—the rebels contend for a
dogma and a revenge. These are the differences

Tart DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS that have been
shamed into silence on the subject of the war,
and almost forced to give up their sympathies
for treason, are now turning their attention to
another subject, in the agitation of which they
can cripple the government equally as seriously
as they hoped to do by giving aid and comfort
to the enemy. In New York city these journals
are busy at the old game of denouncing a pro
tective tariff. The Journal of Commerce, one of
the most unscrupulous partizan sheets in the
country, notwithstanding its assumed independ
ent purity, is working hard to prove that the
tariff bill passed at the last session of Congress
should be amended and alteredin every particu
lar, save only the duty on sugar, and that item
should rattier be increased than decreased, be
cause New York city is largely engaged in re
fining domestic sugar, and because, also, by a
heavy duty on sugar we create a heavy revenue
for the southern rebels. This is the real secret
of the expressed anxiety . on the part of the
Democratic press of the north to insure a duty
on sugar. They propose no duty on manufac
tured cotton goods—they exhibit no anxiety
for the iron resources and interests of Pennsyl
vania—they feign to be ignorant of the genius
and enterprise of the country, and absolutely
declare that if a high duty is not imposed on
sugar, an important interest of New York labor
will suffer by the neglect.
We have had various pretexts and plans pub
lished to the world by this same class of jour
nalists, all of which tended to the support and
justification of treason. They are determined,
if they can, to humble this government, in order
to secure the dissolution of the Republican party.
Brrcked by the demagogues and traitors in the
south, they intend to secure, in the approach
ing extra session of Congress, at least the reali
zation of their favorite idea of crushing out
northern free labor, while they enhance the
slavery interest of the south, and promote their
own purposes in a vile and villainous compro
mise of the laws and federal authority. For
this very reason it will be as necessary to watch
the proceedings of Congress as it will be to
guard the movements of the rebel forces. It
will -be - as necessary for the freemen of the
north to be present in Washington on the 4th
of July, as it was important that the city should
be occupied by an armed force three months
ago. The danger from compromise is greater
than the threatened injury from moving bodies
of rebel assassins.
TEE IDEA OF KNOORSRO AT m DOOR of the
Democratic party, is a good one, when that
party is utterly and completely broken into
fragments. When ite organization is divided in
angry factions —when these factions are antago
nized by jealousy, suspicion and revenge—and
when the belligerence of rival ambition has
made of the Democratic.party a Pandemonium,
it is refreshing to hear people talk of "knock
ing at the door" of such a household. The
hope of the Democratic party consists in com
promising our present difficulties. If the trai
tors are met and punished as they deserve, what
remains of the ruins and corruptions of the
Democratic party, will be forever dernolishet
_ C.UVUL4O.- - /I .felt
Davis, Slidell, Yancy, Toombs, Wise, Hunter,
Tyler and the whole batch of traitors can be
welcomed back to the Union, their positions
warmed by Democratic praise, and their hands
again joined in an unholy Democratic alliance,
the compromise Will be complete, the disgrace
to the country eternal, and the prestige and
purposes of rebellion forever established in the
government of the country.
FROM a CQRSTIVONDENCE with the Secretary of
War, it appears that the Rest Pennsylvania
Railroad was the first transportation corporation
in the country that offered to carry troops, and
government stores, and receive government
bonds in payment. This patriotic offer was
accepted by the Secretary of War, and the ea
ample thus given by this road is worthy of the
emulation of all the other roads in the country,
over which the government is or may be com
pelled to transport troops or stores. It is from
the govenurient that all corporations receive their
vitality. If it is destroyed, the interest of every
corporation in the land will be lost amid, the
general wreck, so that in the effort to save that
government, it becomes the peculiar duty, not
only of every , individual but every company
and corporation in the country, to contribute a
share of labor and influence.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR AT WYANDOTTE
RAMS Cra, June 24
A horrible disaster occurred at Wyandotte,
Kansas, yesterday, about ten o'clock, by the
falling in of the walls. of two buildings and
part of a third, burying all the inmates, forty
persons. The buildings were four stories high,
situated on the levie,.and had been used as the
headquarters of the First Regiment of Kansas
volunteers. Yesterday Captain Haines, with a
company of forty men, entered the building for
the purpose of drilling, preparatory to being
received into the United States service, when
the centre wall of the building suddenly gave
way, plunging the whole company beneath the
mass of ruins. A number were instantly kill
ed, and one, a German—name unknown—died
soon after being liberated. One man had both
legs and arms broken. Twelve or fifteen others
were slightly injured. Some escaped without
a bruise. The loss by the destruction of the
building is not known.
