“ All is Lost but lionor.”
The Election is over and we are not greatly
disappointed at the retult, because we knew
that the decision was in the hands of the.peM
pie of our own
. State, and that the distraction
and strife among the opponents of the locofoco.
pro slavery nominee, if not arranged timely and
amicably, would result in the ttiumpli of the
enemy.
The politicians have triumphed over the peo
ple mist clearly in the canvass. The success'-
ful candidates have secured a ninjority of the
Electors, though the popular vote of the court':
try is largely against them. Hew easily this
result might have been changed by proper
effort on the part of those leaders of the eppo
sition who controlled the canvass, it is unne
cessary now to say. The unfortunate divisions
in our ranks nro well known to our readers.—
If the result serves to teach us wisdom for the
future, the lesson, though a severe one, will in
the end be productive of much future good.
Buchanan is elected and the friends of Free
dom are defeated, but they ate still in the field,
a strong and vigorous party, 'early to do bat
tle against the slave power in 1860. Though
defeated, the freemen of the Union are not con
quered, and they never• can be so long as their
cause is just. If not strong enough to triumph
now, it is growing up to win a glorious triumph
hereafter. It is a youthful cause ; and with all
the vigor and health of youth in its constitution,
it is able to bear hardship. The present hard
ships_ will knit its frame more firmly and give
it strength. It . is triumphatt already in those
parts of our country in which knowledge is
most generally diffused, and -publi3 opinion is
most • readily influenced by free discussion. It
has fought a good fight, even in those parts of
the free states in which the population are the
most ignorant, and cling longest to the prejudi
ces which they attach to party names. Even
there, it has made a progress which promises
it the mastery hereafter.
If we are compelled to mourn over the defeat
of Fremont, we cdn rejoice over the many vic
tories we have won. All the New England
States have given their voice for freedom. They
stand up before the slave power in imposing
grandeur, bidding their sister states of the
North take courage and their cause shall yet be
triumphant. The victory . in New York, alone,
is worth all the labor the campaign has cost.
The-defeat of that•villiscr of Fremont—Erastus
Brooks—who . was a candidate for Governor in
that state, is a source of comfort to those who
have detested his lying conduct from the first.
.We have lived under the worst Administre•
lion that ever existed for the last four years,
and we know the reign of Buchanan cannot be
any worse. %Ir e, therefore, expect to survive
to conquor in 1800.
Where Rests the Guilt.
The guilt of electing Buchanan rests upon
thb Fillmore party. Had this party united
with the friends of freedom, Fremont would
hrive been elected, and a thousand evils avert•
ed. What has the Fillmore party gained by
continuing obstinate in so important a cause ?
Absolutely nothing ! But they have lost all--
all Lhe good they were capable of doing, all the
national character they might have sustained,
all the influences fLir right and freedom it was in
their power to bestow. They have been the
willing dupes of the Slave Power, which led
them, wilfully blinded, to their own destruction.
The truth of what has been told them a thou
sand times—that Fillmore stood no sort of a
chance for an election—is now clearly proved
to them, and the result of their own folly stands
boldly out before them.
If the Fillmore party could have seen itself
on the morning of election as it now sees itself,
we doubt not it would have thrown its influ
ence into the scale of freedom. We have no
words of opprobrium to bestow upon it "; we .
pity its short-sighteclnesS and grieve at its folly.
We have seen but few Fillmore Men attempt•to
rejoice deer the 'election of Buchanan. None
can do it without bringing a blush of shame to
their cheek. ' 7 '.Whete now can they go? They
have no alter:nate but to sink quietly in the
arms:.or their enemy !b'hich,.like the serpent,
has ch . armed but to des'troy. They will go
down to oblh:ion, unhonered and unsung :
"Like a snow-fluke on the river, •
A tuouient white, then.gone forever."
Seutlaient -and Fact.
Thomas Jeffersen once said in speaking of
Anaeriian •"'.Nothing is tnore.ceitain

The pkedietion of this patriot seems verified
by the faot thnt not withstanding' the cheapness
of land-in . the - Southern 'States, the census of

Letter from Kansas.
.
In ano!her part of to-day's paper we publish
a letter: iceently •receisied by Mrs. Boyer, of
Coatsville i Cheste'r county, from her son, Joseph
J. Boyer, -now n prisoner in Kansas, under a
charge of murder in the, first degree, together
with some eighty others, whose only'crime was
to defend themselves against the bandittilrom
Missouri, who overrun their territory, plunder
ed and burnt down their dwellings, insulted
their wives and daughters. and murdered their
husbands and fathers. The writer of the let
ter is a brother to our late deceased worthy
townsman, Wesley Boyer. He bears an excel
lent character and reputation in the commu
nity where he formerly resided—in Chester
county. The letter in its brief truthfulness.
speaking to the heart and understanding, com
mends itself to the thoughtful consideration of
every citizen in the Free States.
Since the above was writen, we saw an ad
dress from the prisoners, published in the New
York Times, to the American people, in which
they state they arc confined in a small, loathsome
prison, with two cannons in front of it, under
guard of militia recently enlisted, and that they
are unable to procure medical assistance Or
sufficient food or clothing. Wm. Bowler , a
Free State man, from St. Charles, Missouri, has
died since his arrest, and it was Bared that
several others could survive but a few days un
less immediately relieved. This address is
signed by eighty-one of the prisoners, formerly
belonging to Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
New York; Pennsylvania; Ohio, Illinois, Wis
consin and Iowa;

It is reduced to a certainty that a large ma-'
jority of the white freemen of this country are
Republicans. It is true.that . under the pecu
liar provision of the Constitution which:count:B
five slaves as equal to three freemen•, in the
repr3sentation of States in the Electoral college.
that! Buchanan is chosen. But if the States
were equally represented as they ought to be,-if
we had no property representation. John C.
Fremont would now be the President elect.
But it is otherwise—the slave - drivers of the
South have an extra power, by which, with the
aid of the Northern dough faces, they are ena
bled to piiralyze the voice of fieedoin. and per
haps lash freemen into submission. This extra
power--this negro slave representation has in
ibis zase direetly defeated the freemen of the
North ! James Buchanan is not the choice of a
majority of the freemen of this country, but on
the 4th of March he will take the oath of office,
and be the 'President- of the slave power, con;
sisting of 360;000 slave holders, banked up with
a threetiftlislave representation. without which
even the recreancy of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey could not elect him.
. Mr. Buchanan is therefoie not the President
elect of the people, but of the slave power and
negro representation. John C. Fremont receiv
ed an overwhelming majority of the freemen of
the country, yet the majority must submit to
the minority !' Is'nt that a glorious democr.utic
victory.?

From Kansas we have news" that the whole
ninety of the Free Soil prisoners at Lecompton
had been indicted for murder. •The newly elect
ed Legislature meets at Lecompton in January.
Gov. Geary had arrested some persons on a

nor said he had received various complaints
from different sections of the Territory, and
calls from various quarters for protection ; and
he intended with this retinue to visit all the
settlements to see the condition of rillliirs—to
assure the settlers of his protection, and to
show them by his retinue that ho has the pow
er to protect them.
Several arrests had been made of citizens of
Lawrence : among others mr,. Babcock, Post
Muster. Mr. B. had rendered -hinyelf peculiar
obnoxious to the ruffians by the active part he
has taken in favor of a free State. He was ar
rested at Topeka. while on his wayinietwa. on
a charge of horse stealing. dov. Geary releas
ed him, upon his proving ownership of the horse
which he was charged with stealing.
Governor Geary's position in Lecompton,
does not seem a very enviable one. The pro
slavery men accuse him of sympathy with the
Abolitionists, and denounce him in no measured
terms. One of Col. Titus' men threatened to
shoot him a few days since, on account of the
aminttnent of Col. Walker to the command of
the military company raised in Lawrence. The
Governor's action in this respect, has excited
their displeasure.
At tho recent electionthere were nearly four
thousand motes polled. The secret Blite.LodgeS

Shoals and Breakers Ahead:
With the election of Mr. Buchanan, and with
a democratic m: jority in both houses of Con
gress. the first conclusion would be that he has
secured everything essential to a smooth, re
spectable a• d successful administration. But
such is not the•case. His administration, from
the outset, will be surrounded with difficulties
and perplexities more numerous and formidable
than those which any President has been called
upon to grapple with since the organization of
the government.
•In the first place, his mojority,in the House
of Representatives is an uncertain and slippery.
majority. The gains, in many instances,
which his party have secured in Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana and New 'York, ore gains
achieved- upon false issues, and particularly
false upon the test question of Kansas.' Le,.
the Southern democracy try these Northern
gentlemen upon a bill for the admission of
Kansas as a slave State. and they will most
probably discover that they have made a la
mentable blunder in their calciihrions, and that
their dt mocratic majority in the House is by no
means a harmonious working majority for the
extension of slavery according to the Kansas
policy of Atchison, Jeff. Davis and Franklin
Pierce.
We are not kept in doubt concerning the
programme of the ruling democratic secession
faction of the South. The leading article. from
that outspoken confidential organ of Jefferson
Davis—the New Orleans Delia—is singularly
frank in the exposition of his policy as the great
Southern Warwick of the democratic party.
lie has ruled the administration of poor Pierce
with a rod of iron— he has left the imprint of
his power upon the Cincinnati platform of Mr.
Buchanan ; and with his transfer to the United
States St trite. this conspirator. Davis —this
arch-agitator of slavery extension, secession
and a Southern confederacy—will be in a posi
tion to work out more eft; ctivelv his ;nisch ev
out: designs upon Mr. Pierce's successor. Ills
present programme. as laid down in his eonfi
dentist
,organ. is, after the admission of Kansas
as n slave State—
First—The reduction of the whole of Central
America to a slaveholding confederacy. under
Gen. Walker.
Secondly—A descent from Nienrngna, by
Walker. upon Cuba and the West India islands
generally,, the re establ i s hment of slavery in
those islands where it has been abolished, and
the annexation of the whole lot to the Union.
Thirdly—The adoption of this policy 'of sla
very extension as the Union preserving plank
'n the democratic platform of 1860.
With regard to the prospects of tills grand
and sweeping progi amine. thi organ of Jeffer
son Davis and his Tiowerful faction has its mis
givings. It confesses its fears of the Northern
democrats elected to the next C.ngress ; and

ty, N. C., had come to his death on the night
of Tuesday the 21st inst., in a sudden and
mysterious manner. About his usual hour of
retiring, 9 o'clock, his overseer left him in his
chamber. He was then in his usual health and
condition, both of mind and body. Some two
hours after, his negroes reported to the neigh
bors that he had fallen in the fire and been
burned to death. The neighbors immediately
assembled and found him a corpse. Burns
upon different - parts of his person where discov
ered, but his hair was not singed even, and his
clothing was without a scorch. Under these
circumstances, it was supposed that the burns
must have been scalds from hot water. His
two little daughters were asleep at the timein
the chamber, but of course could tell nothing of
the sudden and mysterious manner in which
they had been deprived of their protector.
An examination being instituted, suspicio.
rested upon his negroes, and it is now ascer
tamed that he was foully and shockingly mqr
dercd by.two of the Mares. From such feats
as we have been enabled to gather, it seems
that a negro man belonging to him hail for
some time absented himself. Mr. Norwood
supected that two of his negroes were harbor.
ing the runaway. and to prevent a continuance
of the practice, had for several nights previous
to his murder locked up the two suspected in
nn out house on his premises. On the fatal
night, however. he was stunned by a bluni, and
a large pot of boiling water which had . been
prepared for the purpose, was poured through
a funnel down his throat until life became ex
tinct.
Ile was then conveyed to.his chamber, and
the neighbors apprised of the death, as we have
stated above. We understand that two of his
negroes have been arrested, and are now in jail.
Others probably will be implicated as partici
pants in this diabolical outrage. It is one of
the most cruel and atrocious murders that we
have been called upon to record, and we sin
cerely trust that the fiendish perpetrators may
pay the penalty of the horrid crime by a far
rvitura of their lives.—Pearsburg Expresi,
