Whatever . may be the result of the Presiden tial contest yesterday, the previous elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, have settled The complexion of the House of Representatives in the 35th Congress. The Democratic gains so far as ascertained, comprise 9 in Pennsylvania, 7in Ohio, and sin Indiana—in all ,?.1. Deduct ing the three Republican gains in Maine, lowa and MiSsouri, and 18 still remains to the credit of the Democracy, which will rather be increased than diminished by the results in other States, owing mainly to the fact that in many districts American candidates arerunning in competition with the Republican nominees. In any event, therefore, the new CongreSs will be Democratic in both branches. The state of parties in the United States Senate will not be materially changed from their existing relation. While their is a nominal anti• Nebraska major ity in the present House of Representatives ex perience demonstrated during the protracted struggle for speakership. and since then, in measures attempted for Kansas, that it was not controllable as a party organization. The bal ance of power was held by members of the American order, in the free States, who refused to unite with the Republicans upon any com mon basis of action, and in most of the Dist lets represented by them the Democrats have suc ceeded. The legislation of the country will, therefore, return to the custody of the Democra cy after the 4th of March next, an,l we hope they will make better use of it than they did in the last Congress, when a great Compromise was flagrantly and gratuitously violated, and and angry sectional commotion, which had been composed by the acquiescence of all parties af ter the " finality" adjustment of 1850, was re newed with an intensity and passion which have I 'exited deep apprehensions in some quarters, and unsettled for a time those intimate and frater nal relations which a common patriotism and interests inculcate as the duty alike of the North and the South. Mexico and England. Late intelligence from Mexico gives some of the particulars of a difficulty between that country and Great Britain which is likely to terminate in a rupture and open hostilities.— The British legation is reported to have left Mexico, which is distracted by internal broils and insurrections, and entirely unprepared fir' a fight:with England or any other foreign pow er. If war should be declared by the British government against Mexico, it will have a ten dency to complicate our affairs with the two nations not a little ; and should the party which robbed Mexico of Texas, and whose present candidate is in favor of filching Cubal from Spain, if the latter will not sell it, should succeed in continuing in power, there is no tell. ing what will be the result, but if we judge of the future by the past there is nothing to hope for but a war which will be waged for the ad vancement of the Slave Power. Such has been and will be the policy of that party which is led by the ultra southern leaders, and whose northern wing is under the foot of the southern task masters, and glories in its serfdom, as some of the most abject and benighted of the uegroes of the South glory in their bandage. The Reign of Terror Is being continually supplial with new vic• tims for strangulation or expatriation. It bids fair to rival the reign of the bloody Robespierre in the ferocious malignity of its spirit and the number of its victims. The government of Nil ',Aeon 111 is freedom compared with the Pierce administration in 11. insas and despotism of the slave power in the South. • Wo published in our paper last week a let ter from Prof*. Ilimmox, of the University of North Carolina, who has committed the unpar donable ollence of declaring himself opposed to the extension of slavery and in favor of Cul. FREMONT for President. The slave power im mediately demanded his removal flout his pro• fessorship which we see has been done. The last number of the Richmond Inquirer received bete, which paper breathes the most atrocious spirit of despotism and persecution we ever as it messed, contains the names of some seven or eight persons who have been subjected to the vio lence of a southern mob for entertaining • incen diary sentiments' and circulating ' incendiary documents.' Day by day this power gives us now exhibitions of desperation and cruelty. Is it not strange that Northern. men, who love right and justice, who profess to be anima• ted und governed by the spirit of Christ, who look upon all mankind as brethren and equal in the eyes of a creator, that these same men, should endeavor by their votes and influence to give this southern power a preponderance in our government, submit to and aid the eaten- Sion of slavery, support men who aro allied in spirit and purpoSe with the disunioh-slavely•ex t ensionists of the South ? oa'" The Nation" is the title of a large and handsome newspaper, somewhat on the plan of the New York Ledger, issued by Messrs. Cro fut & Itiielew, of Philadelphia, the first number of which has come to hand. Among the contribu - tors are Mrs. Southworth, Clara Moreton, and other well known writers. It is published at $2 per annum, three copies fur *5, and 'ten copies for $l5. It is beautifully printed, full of excel ent reading matter, and appropriately Molars ad; making an excellent family newspaper. Presidential Elections Since 1820. Since 1820, when Monroe Wes chosen for a second tarm, with but ono opposition electoral vote, the Presidential electio y as have bced less decisive than is generally 111:1po*ed. That is to say that the popular• inajorier or the SUCMSs. ful candidate has never been excessive ; and of ten he has wanted a majority, and had only a plurality. This is the case, for example, in 1844, when the votes cast for 'Clay, and those thrown away on Birney, exceeded, in the aggre gate, those polled for Polk, making the latter actually a minority President. To go Leckie 1824. In that year, four can didates were in the field, Jackson, Adams, Crawford and Clay. The first recAve , l99 elec• tonal votes ; the second 84, the third 41, and the latter. 37. The election, under these cir cumstances, devolving on the House, Adams received the vote of 13 States, Jackson of 7, and Crawford of 4. In 1828, Jackson was chosen by the popular voice, obtaining 178 of the electorial votes out, of the 261 which then constituted the Electorial College. In 1832, Jackson was again chosen by the popular voice, and this time by an even greater majority, re ceiving 170 electoral votes more than his oppo nent Henry Clay. This brings us up to 1836, or twenty years ago. In that year, Van Buren though elected President, beat Harrison in the popular vote only about 14,000, though he had 170 electoral votes out of 294. Four years afterwards, Har rison seemed, at first sight, to have had three times as many supporters as Van Buren, for he obtained 234 electoral votes, while his an tagonist had only GO, yet he only beat the lat ter in the popular vote, about one hundred and sixty thousand, out of a poll of nearly two mil lions four hundred tholsand. Another curious feature of the election of 1840 was that the popular vote exceeded by nearly two-thirds that cast in 1836. Van Buren, for instance, distanced as he was, received 364,000 votes in 1840 more than he did four years before. In 1544, as we have already said, Polk was actu • ally a minority President ; and yet he beat Clay by a larger popular majority than llarri son had beaten Van Buren ; the vote being, for Polk 1,536,196 ; for Clay 1,297,212. The electorial college, however, stood 170 for Polk, 105 for Clay. In IE4B. Taylor received 163 electorial votes, and Cass 127. The great State of New York, in this election, decided the contest by going for Taylor. When we compare these elections with those pier to 1820, we see how much more closely contested they have been. In 1804, for in stance, Jefferson had 162 electorial votes, and Pinckney, his opponent, 14 only. In 1808, Madison had 122, and Pinckney 47. In 1812 Madison had 128, and Clinton 80. In 1816 Monroe had 183, and King 34. In 1820; as we have already mentioned, Monroe had 231, only a single electoral vote being cast in oppo ;iition. The Territorie3 There are now open for settlethent the Terri tories of Minnesota, Oregon, Nebraska, Wash ington, New Mexico, Utah and Kansas. These Territories contain, according to a compendium of the census of 1850, published in 1854, the following area : Minnesota, Oregon; Nebraska, 'Washington, New Mexico, LEE Total, 1,286,136 or 923,127,040 acres. Kansas, 114,798 or 73,470,720 do. The first named six Territories contain 1,- 286,136 square miles, or 823,137,040 acres of land, and as the total area of all the States and Territories belonging to the Union is 2,936,166 square miles, they comprise nearly one-half of the whole. They run through seventeen or eighteen degrees of latitude, and embrace mil lions of acres of the finest land and mineral de, posits, in the finest climate, on the finest rivers in 'the world. What a noble prospect ! With peace and prosperity, what may we not anticipate of the future ! This country is merely in its infancy. Its growth in power and population has scarcely commenced. Let us keep true to each other and the Union, and what a glorious heritage shall we bequeath to coming generations. Progress of the If atom We frequently hear the expression, " this is a great country," but very few aro aware how great this Union is. The National Imedigen cer of Saturday has - an article showing by the official tables just published that the revenues of Government (luring the last fiscal year, in spite of all the elffirts of the Government to keep them down, amounted, i,i round numbers, to seventh fbur millions of dollars ; and its ex.: penditures (what nation was there ever under the sun whose expenditures did not keep pace with the increase of its income!) amounted to fifiy-scren millions of dollars ! Kansas Land Sales. The great land speculation, connected with the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the enslavement of Kansas, in which several high officials of the general government are concern ed, is not generally known or understood by the people. The survey of the public. lands .has been delayed, keeping pace with the movement of driving out the Free State settlers, and now, when they have been subjugated and driven out of Leavenworth City, the Delaware lands, held in trust by the federal government, are to be sold at auction to the highest bidder, in compliance with the terms of the Indian Trea ty. Accordingly the sale of 200,000 acres is advertised to take place at Fort Leavenworth on. the. 17th of November next, when not a Free State Settler will be permitted to pass the United Statds Guard nt the Fort, or bid on these lands. This grand iniquity should be ex posed. THE LEHIGH REGISTER, NOVEMBER 5, 1856. To every one who takes an interest in Ameri can politics, in the least degree elevated above mere partizanship, the developments of the past six months possess an extraordinary interest. Let the results at the polls be what they may, they cannot prove so vitally important to the welfare or future history of the country as the new elements of thought end action which have entered into the popular mind. It requires but a limited examination on the part of a thinking man to be convinced that though mere party spirit has as yet the upper hand in politics, yet that there is manifest the beginning of a new life which is yet destined to make independent thought a far more active element in the popu lar decision of political questions than we have ever before witnessed. Reforms never go back wards. In the first place, the different platforms and . issues presented to the people, have induced an active discussion as to the true nature of Dem ocracywhat constitutes popular right, and whether the mere assumption of the name, though it may lead to scores of partisan victo ries, is a sure guarantee of its existence. The South, in plainly and distinctly setting forth their faith in conservative aristocratic doctrines, have established on a slaveholding agricultural basis, a natural antithesis to Northern free white laboring Republicanism. This has not, as yet, been perfectly and generally understood in a rational light, though mere facts and harsh expressions of the doctrine have been, of late, ex tensively circulated. But there has been an entering of the wedge, and a source of reflection has been opened which cannot be stayed. Re forms never go backwards. The zeal with which the great questions of territorial, state and general government, have been examined and agitated, also indicate the beginning of popular thought in politics, which will yet lead to extraordinary results. The question of the degree to which a certain inter est may or must be common to a number of States, and tho sacrifices or modifications of policy, which a certain State should make for the benefit of her associates, was never until recently, brought so practically home to every man. This alone would have been sufficient to base a party upon—as it is, it has raised issues and questions which must and will be solved, and which the will even of an overwhelming majority could never silence or repel. Reforms never go backwards. Great progress has been made within a very few months in rendering popular and.hitelligi hie, the great idea of the nineteenth century— We refer to Industrial Development—and its natural identity with the progress of Republi canism and the dignity of free labor." This is one of those great doctrines which may be long withheld and dimly uuderstooa, but which when once started are inevitably destined to work their way out. The absolute am+ irrevo cable fl it has gone forth that free whito labor, or the industrial p ewer which incessantly pro• ducrs shall work its way diractly across this co itinent, and though the hindrances which lay in its way were ten thousand titn 2S greater than they now ale—nny thoug'i every one i )- (crested in its success should prove recreant to its interests—the idea would work its way out and be triumphant, for reforms never go back wards. 166,025 square miles 185,030 do. 325,882 do. 122,022 do. 207,007 do. 299,170 do. We are not at the end of a moVeznent involv ing the deepest principles of freedom, but at the beginning. Politicians may suppose after .:very election that all is settle 1, but the man who has watched the gradual progress of thtugth and of information in this country of late years—especially in the Middle States, and the extraordinary changes which have here be gun to manifest themselves, know perfectly well that all which has thus far occurred in politics is the mere faint grey streak of early morning as compared to the more glorious day which lies before us. Clouds may rise,.but - they will be blown aside. We are LI the beginning of nn unparalleLd agitation which must have its storms and calms, but whose advance is inevi table. Questions have be et raised which no election, let it go as it may, can have any power to lull. Reforms never go backwards.' , . - While Gen. Pierce is endeavoring to force slavery into Kansas at the point of the bayonet, his democVatic ally, Gen. William Walker, has succeeded in doing the same thing in the republic of Nicaragua. Slavery was abolished in Central America nearly forty years ago, and a decree r&all3rming its abolition forms part of the constitution of 1838. This decree has recently been declared null and void by Gen. Walker, and all' the Southern fire-caters are at liberty to take their slaves into Nicara gua. Thus slavery extends South and West, and the real policy of the niggerdriving democ racy is daily becoming more apparent. Some interesting facts aro recapitulated in ho United States Military Argus. It is stated that the population of the eleven infant colonies in 1701 was 262,000 souls. Georgia and Del aware were added to the number about 1749, and the census reports give us 1,046,000. In the year 1775, the thirteen colonies had 2,303,- 000 whites and 500,000 slaves. After the adop- lion of the present Constitution, in 1790, there were thirteen States, with 3,172,664 white, 50,- 456 free colored, and 607,807 slaves. In 1850, the States had increased to thirty-one and the population to 19,550,000 whites, 434,000 free colored, and 3,204,000 slaves. The total pop ulation at this time is approaching TrunrY mil.• LIONS. HORSE FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.-At Frede rick, Maryland, last week, a horse attached to a buggy and driven by a lady,ln• passing the elephant belonging to Dan Rice's circus, wheel ed suddenly at the sight of the mammoth beast, fell in the shafts, and quivering in every mus cle, expired in twenty minutes. Reforms Never go Backwards. Niggor Stock in Nicaragua Our Country and Its Prospect. "Straight Line" Fillmore Meeting. Ever since tho attempted stile and transfer of the Fillmore men to the locofocos, at Phila delphia, like so many cattle in market, hireling speech-makers were engaged in perambulating the State, doing all in their power, so fur as lying, knavery and treachery could help them, to hoodwink people into the support of Sander son, Forney & Co's. Fillmore Buchanan ticket, in order to prevent the success of the Union ticket, and thus give the State to Buchanan. On 6 day last week a certain Leader, one of San derson's tribe, came to this place, and in the evening held forth in the Odd Fellows' Hall to an audience composed of men of all parties, at tracted more out of curiosity than•sympathy with the object of the meeting. His speech, we understand, for abuse and blackguardism exceeded anything we had in town during the campaign ; while his assumption' of the lion's skin in all his other " doings" was looked upon as a hypocritical failure, and the-general. opin ion was that the hide of a calf drawn over his shoulders would have been more becoming.— His attempt to defend the reputation of those implicated in the Gibbons. expose was as unsuc cessful as his effort to sow the seeds of discord between Americans and Republicans, which was in all probability the sole object. The audience manifested evident signs of having their curiosity gratified long before the speaker got through, and the close of• the address was the best appreciated hit of the evening. We are satisfied no one was influenced in the slightest degree by anything he said. No, no, Mr. Leader, the opposition to Democracy in Lehigh are neither knaves or fools, can neither be bought, transferred or hoodwinked, can see without glasses, aro able to read, reason and comprehend, and that is the reason your preaching was not appreciated. He evidently felt displeased with some arti• des in our last, and applied some personalities, which however we care nothing about. Ani• Innis of all kinds are expected to act out ofi their nature. Dean Swift, tells us that— "if a Pole-Cat you torment, you know his passion by his scent." IVhedier he was a paid hireling, sent as a scare-crow by Sanderson, or as a feeler by some corrupt over zealous locefifeo office-holders or hunters, we will not say, but let otheri form their own opinions. Others, however, ou sim ilar missions, did receive pay. New Counterfeits. Among latest counterfeits are twenties on the Commercial Bank, Perth Amboy, altered from twos.

This annual observance of one of the early practices of our pilgrim fathers is becoming more generally and wide ly observed over our land; an evidence of tho ad vance of intelligence, civilization and christianity. It is to, be hoped that the day will ho kept in the manner and. spirit in which, it woo observed when first set apart by our ancestors.

See adver tisement. Close Voting.. Several members of the Legislature aro chos- . en by very close votes. Eighty Opposition votes properly distributed, would have saved them ono number in Adams, one in Franklin, one in Washington, one in Mifflin, one in the Clinton,-Lyeoniing and Potter District, and thur in the Westmoreland district. In neither of these counties was the majority over thirty, and in one it was nine and the other five votes. It is singular that these doge votes should all be against the Opposition. In Franklin there is a tio between a Democrat and a Union can didate fur Associate Judge, and in Adams the Democratic Commissioner is elected by eighteen votes. In several of the townships of York county, there arc probably four hundrxl Dem ocrats to eight or ten Unionists, whilst in Ne ville township, Allegheny county there is not a single Democratic vote, and in one of the larg est townships of Bradford county, there was but one, and that came from the Post-Master of the district. Tho result in Bradford, Tioga, and the other northern counties from Wayne to Erie, deserves special mention. Our friends there, fought a liable fight, and have covered themselves with glory. They will long be re tnembered for their fidelity and their devotion to principle.
