The Next Congress.
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.

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.•

"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.

Thunkviring.—Gov. Pollock has appointed Thurs- .
day the 20th of November next, to he observed as
day of Thanksgiving and praise to tho giver of all
good for the blessings wo enjoy, as a people. 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. Eight Governors 'of
'tiler States have also appointed the same day.
A /letter Time Coming.—Much space has been oc
cupied in our columns for some time past, in the die
ellSdillll of idides, to the exclusion of miscellaneous
and other matter. The contest is now over, and with
the next issue the smoke of battle will fully clear
away, and we will then nuke amends for past neglect
in miscellany. Ladies—dear creatures, you have
born this appropriatiorrof our columns, with n great
deal of patience. YOu know, wo 111011 MUM make
Presidents, and as Presidents, after they are made,
belong as inneh to you as to us, therefore we presume
you will minion us for our apparent neglect of you.
We will tittund to your wants soon—and we have no
doubt shall have many n pleasant chat. We will tel
you stories—sing you songs, relate to you anecdotes.,
and be sociable generally.
Ugly Think!—lt is stated that there two two him
dred milNons more of titi an" iu
the world. 'flits is a sad state of human affairs; but
still it has nothinm to do with Wieder ,S; forger, in
Hammon Street, who are nt this time selling Ladies'
Furs of supiirior nuality, at such astonishing low pri•
ces, that 501110 are led to believe they are unchristian.
It is said they sell ton per cent, cheaper than the
cheapest man in Allentown. This truly is an ago of
progress! They also manufacture Bats and Caps for
the million. Thly are said to ho the quinteseence of
beauty—theemLodiment of elegance, and tho ultra
perfection .1' workmanship,, and withal they pro sold
at the lowest rates known in the trade. 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. When other districts imitate
their example, Pennsylvania will be redeemed ;
and,placed prominent In the ranks of Freedom.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
Dividend.—The Allentown Bank has declared a
semi-annual dividend of 4 per cont.
Valley rive Vinci/amt.—Messrs. Charles Brodhead
and Rufus A. Glider, of Bethlehem, have purchased
front Theophilits liarlecher, his celebrated grapory
located on the west side of the Lehigh Mountain, op
posite that borough. It consists of about 18 acres.
Gcohant*. ifoy«zies.—We have the pleasure of tic
knowleding the receipt of this splendid Monthly for
November. It IN decidedly the best 11Iugazine in the
country. The contents of every number combine
much which is useful, entertaining and instructive.
Another .Fed It araing.—Margaret Daugherty, an
Irish girl, aged 16, living with E. `T. Foster, in
Mauch Chunk, was burned to death last Thursday by
the explielon of a fluid can. It is said she was fill
ing an ignited lamp at the time of the accident.
Suhmerihe for the Itegister.—Tbo present is an ex
cellent limo to stibseribe for the Register. The long
nuttunn and winter evenings are at hand and
our paper should now be at every fireside in the
county. We expect to add many new subscriber's to
our list during the present week. Come along•-we
hero room for all.
Signe and Takens.—Sorao people believe that a
heavy persimmon crop is a sure sign of. a dreadful
cold' winter. If this be true, then look out this clon
ing winter—get ready a plentiful supply of wood and
coal, as well us bed clothes, for we are assured by a
friend that the persimmon crop in this region is un
usually large. Tho same prediction was made last
year and it proved correct.
Look out for Count(lleitg.—Now spurious ten dol
lar hills on the Formers' and Mechanics' Bank, of
Easton, aro in circulation. It is an alteration from
a $lO counterfeit note on soma other bank', and has
fur a vignette the arms of the Stnto of Pennsylvania,
with a female on each end, being different from the
genuine. The titlo of the bank is in a straight lino,
ivhilst that of the gonuino is in a curved lino. The
same plate will probably be used for other banks, by
substituting, a different title and location.
THE 'ELECTIONS.
From returns received up to the hour of go•
ing to press, we are led to believe that the
Democrats have carried Pennsylvania. Sadin
its probable effect upon the destinies of our
country, and disgraceful in itself to the State,
that a majority of her voters should turn their
backs upon Freedom, yet it is so, and we must
bide the result. Below we give the latest tel
egraphic' news, and also the result of our• own
County, the locofoco majority being about 1100.

IfORRIDI f II AFFAIR--BOY EATRN UP BY A 800.
—Yesterday afternoon, while a boy named
James O'Connell, aged about 12 years, son of
Mr. Barney O'Connel. who lives on Third st..
South Troy, was passing along the sidewalk
near his father's residence, a man, name un
known, set upon him a large and savage bull
dog. The boy, on'turning, and seeing the dog
coming full speed upon him, naturally become
very much frightened, and endeavored to ca.
cape by running, —the man meanwhile eneoppr
aging the noble brute onward. Of course, the
dog speedily overtook the boy. He caught the
lad in the middle of the back, his teeth sinking
to the bone, when, by clasping his jaws, and
'erking with thew, he tore out;trip; ckan to
the Lone, as large as a man's hand. His rap
increased with the taste of blood ;it was I
impossible to shake off the dog. lie
caught the boy by the thigh, and bit out a piecit
as large as he could grasp with his teeth, laying
the bone bare here. Another bite was inflicted
upon the leg, but was not so serious as th!
others. Over two pounds of flesh must hem
been extracted by the dog. The boy was' lit
erally being eaten up by the monster. TO .
brute who set the dog upon the boy deeerses,
as wo hope he will receive, severe punishment.
Dr. Berton, who was called toattend the case,
