The Result.
Although the official returns of our State are
incomplete, enough have been received to show
beyond a doubt that the loco -focos have carried
it by a small majority. This result ten v heat:
tributed partly to indifference, partly to dissat
isfaction with some of the nominations on the
Union ticket, to the colonizing of votes from
other States, and an infamous system of fraud
practiced throughout the entire State. ILA
however, the opposition acted as a unit, we
would have been able to record a majority of
at least 20,000 for our State ticket. The north
western counties done nobly, and especially did
those composing WilmoVn District, speak in
thunder-tones for Freedom.
But unfortunate as the result undoubtedly is,
we say to, our friends, the STATE IS STII,LI
CERTAIN FOR FREMONT, if our men but do
their duty. All we have to do to secure our
Electoral ticket, is to buckel on the armor of!
Freedom, and spend the few days between this
and the 4th of November in well directed cf- 1
forts. The Opposition to the present National
Administration and the odious principles of the
Cincinnati Platform, know that in Pennsylva
nia they have the people with them—that fair•
ly,they possess by some thousands of votes, l
the popular majority. Frauds and falsehoods
may have affected us nt the late election ; but
the people in their majesty, will rebuke the
schemes of dishonest politicians, by carrying the!
State in November. We therefore, call upon
our friends to stand by their guns undaunted
to bear aloft with still firmer grasp, the banner
upon which are inscribed their National, Con
stitutional, American Principles, and carry the
battle to the heart of the enemy's camp. Un
etCmThltlr circumstance, let us resolve to fight
bly to the end. We chin do better in Novem
ber, and in view of the filet Iliac without the
vote of Pennsylvania, Mr. Buchanan can have
no hope of election, we have no doubt that we
will. Take this State from him and he has
not the ghost of a chance. The recent contest
has shown that it CAN be taken from him.
But our friends must not deceive themselves.
It will require no ordinary cflitrt. EVERY OP
POSITION VOTE MUST It E. BROCORT OUT AND POLL

to be in vain. If we are true to ourselves —true

hopes of James Buchanan. Let the Fillmore

success will come an accession to their strength
in the electoral college. They have in common
the desire to defeat James Dm:lumen. Divided

The twenty-six electors are pledged to cast
the votes of the State in the Electoral College
for the respective candidates for the Presiden
cy in exact proportion to the popular vote giv
en to each ticket. This forms a complete uni
on of the opposition strength in Pennsylvania,
while it enables every voter to indicate his pre
ference of the Presidential candidates without
any compromise of his principles. Every vote
given todhe Fremont ticket counts in favor of
the principles and candidates of the Republican
and North American parties respectively, and
every vote riven to the Fillmore ticket counts
in favor of the Fillmore and Donelson party,
and will be fully represented in the final result.

Be Not Deceived.
The Buchanan pro-slavery party are,labor
ing to prove that the members of that party in
the U. S. Senate ofrered to repeal all the obnox
ious laws passed by the Missouri• Kansas Leg
islature, and that the Republicans voted against
the proposition in order to keep up agitation.
This is a great mistake—or something worse.
They did offer to repeal some of those laws
but a proposition introduced by Mr Trumbull
to declare them all null and void—(as they are
in fact) was voted down, by a large majority,
almost every Democrat voting in the negative.—
We dare any man to contradict this.

Tampering with the Returns!

State by a system of the most h:u•efv frauds.

Tt is believed now that the assembling of the

about six majority. The Senate will be Union
by two or three majority. The official returns
may vary this calculation.

A War with Spain, to 'Raise the Price of Slaves!
Among the resolutions adopted by the Na

Cincinnati was the following :
" Resolved, That the Democratic Party will .
expect of the next administration that every ef

Gulf of Mexico."
Monstrous as is the policyindicated in this
'resolution, it is nothing more than what, was
contained in the famous Ostend CirCular put
forth by Buchanan and Soule, eighteen months
ago in Europe. How different from all this is
the policy of Col. Fremont, and the party—or
rather the people—who have nominated him !
The Philadelphia Convention took especial care
to stamp the seal of its reprobation upon the
infamous doctrines laid down by James Buchan
an at ()Mend. They did so by adopting the
following resolution :

Kansas Affairs.
On the Ist thit pro-slavery party of Kan
sas went through the farce of an election for
Delegate to Congress and members of the Legis
lature. Of course they had no opposition. The
people of Lawrence very properly resolved to
take no part in. the matter, nnd we trust
the same course was pursued by the Flee State
men throughout the Territory. They should
do nothing that would imply a recognition of
the territorial laws, which they, as well as the
lower house of Congress. have persistently re
pudated. But how could they participate in
the elections, even if they desired it. They are
utterly disfranchised. 'they cannot discuss the
very questions at issue without violating the
laws and Subjecting themselves to arrest. Be
fore they can vote they must take an oath to
support laws which nine-tenth of them hold
unconstitutional. And they must pay a poll
tux of one dollar, which hundreds of them
could not do, having been robbed of their
money by the invaders.
According to the latest accounts from Kansas,
Gov. Geary is by no means inclined to be im
partial in his conduct toward the Free-State and
pro-slavery settlers. According to the St. Louis
Repubficfm, when he visited the camp of the'
ruffians under Atchison, who were going to de- I
stroy Lawrence, he was extremely complaisant,
and told them that he wished them to dis
band and go home, and should he heed their
services and the force at his command prove in
adequate, he would call than out and 3lc. Smith
would enroll !hem ; that he was determined to
enforce the laws, to put down the rillians and
crush out Lane's , army marnudcrs."
Ile furthermore, before leaving the camp, au
thorized Col. Titus, one of the ruffian lenders to
raise three companies of volunteers to be mus
tered into the service, consistin g of eighty men
each. About one htindred of the ruffians im
mediately enrolled, and the force would be
made up in a few days. Thus these men, whom
the Governor well knew were marching on the
town of Lawrence for the purpose of murdering
its citizens and destroying their property—for
they did not hesitate to avow this as their object'
—were taken by him into the service of the
United States ! Was ever a more outrageous in
sult heaped upon a free people ? The people of
Lawrence were guilty io believing in freedom
rather than slavery, and a ruffian force which
was deliberately proceeding to exterminate them
for this offence, was welcomed into the service
of that Government whose duty it is to see that
impartial justice is muttered to all its citizens.
While the Governor was thus bestowing his of
facial patronage upon the Missourians, a part}
of Free State men who had been on on expedi
tion to drive away a pro slivery ti 'O.ll ,
were committing outrages IM the l .ce rune
settlements, were arrested and hobs as pi
by his orders. More than this, whit. 1,11 i•
an leaders were treated with the '• most di, in
guished consideration," Guv, Geary placed
himself, according to the Missouri Republican
at the head of several companies of dragoons.
and started in search of Gen. Lane. determined
to arrest him. The Slavery propagandists may
organize an army and invade Kansas. and the
Governor simply requests them to disband--
Gen. Lane organizes a force to protect the Free
State settlers from this invasion, and the Gov-.
ernor at once starts with the governintMl forces
upon his track ? To extend slavery by force
and outrage is honorable, but to defend freedom
is a sin not to be pardoned—it is treason ? It
is evident that even-handed justice is not to be
expected front Gov. Geary.
It was necessary for him to signalize his ad
vent into the territory by securing the disper
sion of the Missouri forces. It was necessary
for the interest of Buchanan to patch up a tem
porary peace until after the Presidential elec
tion. But we fear that the Free State men are
yet doomed to feel the vindictive and relentless
oppression of the present Administration,
through the agency of Govet nor Geary. A let

The policy of keeping back the Free State
men, and encouraging the border rullians—of
suffering the latter to rob or murder, and .pun
ishing the former for organized resistance—is
the policy upon which Governor Shannon acted.
The new,Governor has signalized his advent by
sonic meritorious acts : but if. as would appear
om recent developments, he intends to pursue
the same policy as his predecessor. the situation
of the Free Sate men will be in no wise amelio
rated. . It is this outrageous policy of patting
the border ruffians on the back and calling them
good fellows, which has been at the foundation
of all the troubles in Kansas. The Free State
men and actual settlers could sweep' the Missou
.riansout of the State werelt not for the interfer
ence of the Territorial authorities and:United
States Aroops.

having become satisfied that a strong ellbrt is
being made to divert the obligations resting on

the Fillmore ticket as a mere device to prevent

A Nnw BATCH ur• Slays STATES.—A letter
writer thus divides the possibilities fur new
slave states, if either Fillmore or Buchanan are
elected to the Presidency :
3 new slave states•out of Kansas.
2 new slave states out of Nebraska.
3 new slave stifles out of Texas.
2 new slave states out of Washington.
2 new slave states out of the N. West Terri
tory.
1 new slave state nut of the 'lndian Territory.
4 new slave states out of New Mexico.•
4 new slave states out of Utah.
2 new slave states out of Minnesota.
1 new slave state out, of &mth California.
3 new slave states out of Cuba.
29 additional slave states
Supposing that Kansas should be lost to free
dom, the above estimate is reasonable. If
there is a right in malting Kansas slave ground,
the same right will carry the institution into
the above territories.
