The Senatorial Fight
The contest for United States Senator in this
State is beginning to assume form and propor
tions; and from this time until the day of elec
tion we may expect to witness an animated
canvass for the tempting prize- The last num
ber of Mr. “'ilmot’s home organ is out. in an
article advocating his election. 11. also pub
lishes extracts from other Republican papers
favorable to the elevation of the immortal au
thor of the Proviso. His claims are set forth
in tempting array. It. is urged in his behalf
that he represents prominently the "great prin—
“ciple” which has triumphed in the election
of Lincomz; that. he is identified with the strug
gles and toil that have finally struck down “the
“ domination andinsolence of the Slave l’ower;”
that neither the tics of party or the seductions
of power and place have caused him to “swerve
" one iota from the plain path of duty,” and
that, in‘short, he is tired of doing duty as a
disinterested patriot, and thinks it about time
that years of incessant and persevering labor
should be adequately rewarded. Mr. Wlmror
has our very deepest sympathy. He really de
serves something. He was an advocate of
free-soil principles when his rivals were ridi
culing him and them; and now that he has
brought the whole Opposition party into his
platform, common gratitude demands that he
should not. be thrown overbhard in the hour of t
their triumph. But parties are proverbially
ungrateful. )Ir. “’ilmot may find to his sor
row his very radicalism fatal to his hopes.—
And then his Democratic antecedents, in con
nection with that unfortunate vote for the re
peal of the Tariff of 1842, are damaging to his
prospects. Old Democrats were quite at a pre
mium with the Republicans for awhile; but ‘
now the old Whigs are looking out for their
share of profit and honor. Did not Col. Cun—
rm tell the Republicans of Boston to elect men
of Whig antecedents to Congress? Think of
that, Mr. Winner, and tremble.
Furthermore, Tnaoness S'rm'sxs, J AMES
Penman, A. K. M’CLtnr: and other old liners
have each expressed the opinion to his confi
dential friends that he is admirably adapted to
represent the State of Pennsylvania. in the U.
3. Senate. These edhfidentisl friends have
mentioned the matter ‘to other confidential
friends, and in this way the public have discov
ered the very exalted opinion that Messrs.
Srnvnns, Pollock and M’Clure each entertains
of himself ; which is all right. nnd proper, but

rage David. Let him persevere, and there is
no telling who may carry of the prize. The
only sentiment we have to express regarding
the great senatorial prize fight is—“ may the
“ best man win.”
Modified Rej oiciugs
The jubilant leelings usually attendant upon
a political triumph, especially such as has
lately been achieved by the Republicans, are
ordinarily quite demonstrative and hilarouss—
A political party which has, at the termination
of a great struggle, succeeded in obtaining
power, can hardly be expected to restrain the
exultant voice of triumph, or to abstain from
those outward demonstrations of joy which vic
tory is calculated to inspire. Of this disposi
tion to celebrate the success of a party which
has by the tide of events conic into the line of
promotion, we have no reason to complain. It
has been the course of all political parties, in
all countries, so for as we know their history;
and under ordinary circumstances, we see no
reason why the Republican party in the United
States should form an exception to this univer-
sal practice.
Circumstances have, however, arisen, says
the Journal of Commerce, which seem likely to
deprive, and which, in fact, have deprived
that party of half the joy which they fancied
wasin store for them. To say nothing of the
meagre character of their victory, and the fact
that the Union men have nearly as much rea
son to celebrate their triumph in electing a. ma
jority of the House of Representatives, and
thus securing a guarantee against Republican
aggression; to_ ignore altogether the mortify—
ing defeats of Burlingame, Pennington, and
other representative men, upon whom their
highest hopes Were centred; over-looking all
these drawbacks upon Republican rejoicings,
thereis one powerful obstacle to the expressions
of delight which would otherwise have made
the cities and villages of the North vocal with
the notes of victory.
With the exception of a few impromptu de
monstrations—here and there a “ blow out.” on
the spur of the moment~scucely had the
victdrious party been enabled to indulge in any
formal manifestations of joy, before the country
was thrown into apprehension and alarm, in
anticipation of the effect which the success of
the Republicans is to have upon our institu
tions. Sovereign States, upon the first an
nouneement of the result, took measures for
severing their connection with the Confederacy;
theifiuanees of the country were thrown into
confusion ; stocks_ and other property dep‘re
ciated in value, and a feeling of sorrow and
sadness became visible, such as has never be
fore perraded the American people—at least
never since the achievement of our indepen
deuce.
All‘ this is calculated to bring pain rather
than gladness—mourning rather than rejoicing
~10 every community. To me credit of the
Republicans generally, we must say that. they
have respected the occasion, the circumsmnces
and the feelings of the country at large. Their
joy hail been turned into anxiety, their jubila
tions into solemn apprehension, and their
anticipated celebrations, with noise and pomp
and splendor, into the hushed voices of trouble
am] alarm. Their only celebmfion herenbouts
IM=l
was attended by a catastrophe which was In
dicrous only because a good providence pre
vented it from bemg fatal, and now such a
thing as a Republican demonstration of joy,
over their victory, is nowhere spoken of. .
Such is the brief and sad record of the.
triumph of a political party in a national else--
tion. They have succeeded in clecting‘ their
Presidential candidate, only to create the most
serious apprehensions for the fate of the coun
try. Their visions of power and official emol
ument vanish, as it becomes fenrfully evident.
that. to enjoy them without the dismemberment
of the Confederacy involves an abandonment
of the ultra dogmas of their party, and a sur
render of their most cherished notions of po
litical faith. Theirs is a modified joy. which,
when analyzed, proves to be but a single re
move from actual grief. They are entitled to
respect. for thus regarding the mournful occa
axon.
ESCAPE or AX ALLEGED SLAYER—Sin: Gels to
Sea ll'itlwut Inlez/l’rmce.—A bark bearing the
name of the Bondless, had been up to Wednes
day of last week, fitting out during several
weeks, off Banvard's Castle, ostensibly for a.
whaling voyage. Some of her movements not
being exactly compatible with the idea. the resi
dents of that section of the sound entertained
of an honest commercial outfit, suspicion was
excited, which grew into almost downrightcer
minty, when some old sailors in the neighbor
hood reported that the lower tiers of the hold
of the vessel were supplied with a. number of
well filled water casks. Late upon the nightiu
question she got under weigh from Spring har~
bor, Long Island, and came to anchor in the
open sound, where, we are informed, a. steam
tug stood in readiness to take her out when she
should he prepared, and also that. lug carried
her supplies to her, at this anchorage around,
during the whole of the night. This choice of
diflicult procedure, in the minds of those resi-l
ding on shore, placed suspicion beyond a doubt.
Taking advantage of the darkest hours of mor
ning,she is supposed to have put to sea, for
when daylight broke the Rondless was among
the missing. .
The above is taken from the New York World
of Tuesday. “'e find the following account of
the seizure of another vessel of the class in that
port in the Post of Tuesday evening.
The schooner William L. Cogswell, hauled
from pier 5, North river, and anchored below
Bedloe’s Island, on yesterday; suspicion being
entertained that she was about. to he engaged in
the slave trade, she was last night, seized by
Surveyor Hart, and was taken by a. crew from
the revenue cutter Harriet Lane, to the Atlantic
docks, where her cargo will he overhauled.
The ’ suspicions attached to the vessel are
well founded. Her destination was known to
be the West coast: of Africa, and the examina
tion of her lading will undoubtedly prove that
she was fitted out, at this port. expressly 'for a.
slave cargo.
Tm: In‘ox MousTAlN.——One of the Philadel—
phia Board of. Tl-ado Excursionists, who, in
company with a large delegation, is prospecting
through the West. with a View of drawing bu
siness to the Quaker City, gives the following
description of the Iron Mountain, Mo:
“ One of the greatest curiosities of the State
—iurleed, almost. ranking with Niagara and the
Mammoth Cave, for unique interest—is the Iron
Mountain, which some of our party visited. It
is eighty-six miles from St. Louis, reached by
a. railroad constructed by the owners of land, or
rather metal, but destined to be extended to
Memphis. The chief formations are the Iron
Mountain proper and the Pilot. Knob. The
former is a. vast mass of specular oxide, its
height above the valley being two hundred and
twenty—eight feet. and at, its base covering an
area. of five hundred acres, which give 230,375,-
075 .mi‘Oi-e.- ]lutbceldca' one parts above
the surface. on digging down one hundred and
fifty feet, the one is found still to continue, and
how much deeper is not known.
On the supposition that the size is the same
every foot of descent gives 3,000,000 tons of‘
ore. The shape of this mountain is the upper
half of an oblate spheroid. Its ore contains 68
per cent. of pure metal. There are three fur
naces at the foot of the mountain, but only one
now in operation. Pilot Knob, about 3 miles
from the Iron Mountain, is 581 feet high, as
cending conically to nearly a perfect apex.
Its height is 581 feet, and it covers an area. of
360 acres. The amount above the surface is
calculated at 13,972,773 tons. There is no ore
on the surface at the base, but about half way
up the inclined Plane it is blasted and quarried
like granite. It is silicious specular oxide. and
contains 54 per cent. of pure metal. The party
was vividly impressed with the wondrous extent
and value of this great metallic deposit, which
would be even more an incnloulable mine of
weath than is the case now; if coal were near
at hand. Unfortunately, either the ore must
be conveyed to the coal or vice versa.
A POLITICAL RIOTE‘R WITH A Swonn BLADE
Ix His BAoK.-—During the election riot. at. Illi
noistown, 11]., aman named John Denoar was
stabbed in the back with a. sword cane. The
weapon was driven in about midway of the
spinal column, and then broken off within
about. two inches of the body.
It was foundimpossible to extract the weapon,
and Denoar was conveyed from lllinoistown to
the Health Office. A physiciah was called in,
and endeavored to pull out the weapon with a
small pair of forceps or pincers. He applied
the pincers some half a. dozen times and pulled
with all the strength he could command, but so
firmly was the steel transfixed in the bone that
the pincers invariably slipped 011‘. and the
“ claws” finally become injured in Such a.
manner that 'the pincers were rendered use
less. ‘
The Doctor endeavored to loosen the weapon
in a. variety of ways, but to no purpose. It
had been driven in with so much force that it
was even more strongly transfixed in the bone
than a. nail driven into astick of wood. Dr.
Smith finally procured a pair of shoemaker’s
nippers and. made another effort. After one
or two trials he succeeded in securing a. good
“ purchase” upon the weapon and extricated it.
It measured in all five inches—three inches of
which had penetrated the spinal column, and
there remained firmly imtedded for twelve or
fourteen hours. ,
OIL 1x Wnszrznx \’memlA.—Astonishing Dis
coveries.—The Clark county. Virginia, Journal
contains a. letter from Wirt Court House, which
gives an account of the extraordinary discov
eries of oil now being made in Western Vir--
ginia. He gives some instances as follows :
Mr. Karns leased a piece of ground (two
acres) from Mr. Ratbane, only six miles above
mine, for twenty years, and at the depth of 150
feet reached a vein of oil which yields fifteen
barrels, of thirty gallons each, per day, worth,
at the lowest price, twenty-five cents per gal
‘1011: and for which lease of two acres he (Mr.
K.) has been olfered $70,000. This well has
been _in Operation, without any decrease in
quantity, for over three months. Mr. Ratbone,
after he saw. file success, of Mr. Knrns’ well,
sank one himself below Km-ns’ on the river,
an 1, was there the evening he commenced at
3 51x 0 ciock, P‘ m., and Pumped until six o’clock,
a. “dim “Valve 11mm, and filled a cistern
conteimng 130 barrels. of 40 gallons each——
‘ that Is to any: 6:200 gallons of pure oil worth
1 twentyvfive cents per gallon. Rathone’s well
i still continued to pour out the same . ‘
. . {uannty
of 011 up to last night, but they had to stop
pumping for want of cisterns and barrels - and
Mr. Karns told him that I had the beg; and
surest prospect of oil, next to Ratbone’s on, the
river.

BRUTAL Mnnnnn or A FARJII-11l AT New LOTTS,
L. I.—- On Tuesday morning, Theodore Colyer,
a. farmer living at New Lotts. Long Island, N.
Y., was found murdered in his barn. It; ap
pers he was, the night previous, in a st‘ore,
where he exhibiteda sum of money, in the pre
sence of two strangers, who subsequently fol
lowed him to his burn, near his dwelling, where
they murdered him, and robbed him of from
3531 15-5 to $2OO, and his gold watch. The skull
01' deceased was literally Split in two, and the
brains scattered overthe floor. It is supposed
that. he altered some resistance. as a. straw cut,-

blood, and this could not. have been the Weapon
used by the murderers, as the nature of the
wounds show that. they were inflicted with an
axe, or some other heavy. blunt. instrument.

Fumnnn men Mnxtmix.——Tcrrible Slaughter.
A private letter from the highest authority at,
Vera Cruz confirms the accounts we have ul
renrly published of the massacre at Guadala
jara. Among other things, it is said that amine
was sprung upon the liberals, in their assault.
upon the city, and five hundred of their num
ber were instantly killed. So far, however,
from arresting their progress, this only infu
riated them the more, and forcing their way in
by six different breaches at the same time, they
bayonetcd the enemy at their works, and
slaughtered all who stood in their wny. The
execution of the opposing general. Castillo and
his ofiicers, is doubtless to be attributed to this
infuriated spirit.—N. 0. Picayune.
Qunex VICTORIA’S Human—Queen Victo
tiu’s departure from Brussels, on her return to
England, was delayed for two days by a cold
which she caught in Germany. It- is a striking
proof of the excellence of the constitution of
Queen Victoria, and of her physical training
and regularity of habit, that during the twenty
three years she has been on the British throne,
she has never been confined to her room from
sickness for a single day, excepting upon the
occasions when she has added to the number of
the Guelph olive branches.

that Mantun was no home for me!”—l-‘lo,~gnm
