THE L.E.IIMiI ITEGUNTET, ALLENZOWN, PA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 185 C, O. F. lIAINES, EDITOR Our Course. As we remarked last week, we are heartily glad that the election is over. The contest has been long and exciting, and we are glad of the opportunity to attend to something more con genial to our taste. We have endeavored to pursue an honest and honorable course in the management of the editorial department of this paper during the campaign, and have done all in our power to enlighten our readers by argu ment, and expose the deceptions and sophistfies of our political opponents. Some have asked us why we did not maintain a neutral posit Mn. The reason we have taken part in the catn•nss is because we believed that our country demand ed the services of a/Lher citizens, even the l.um• blest amomg them, and that the crisis was such that no one could evade the responsibility rest ing upon him and escape Willi inumnity. We entered upon the discharge of this duty us we di) upon all others of moment. after calm delib eration and in a spirit of candor. with only one ruling incentive—a desire and deter mina ion to do right. If at any time we have erred, it has been an " error of the head and not of the heart." We sincerely wish that every man in the Union to-day could say the same honestly. We hereafter shall devote more space in our paper to matters of general int :I e'st, and shall try to make it, valuable not only to the popi clan, but to the mechanic. the merchantjklie farmer and the literary malt. At all times however we shall give politics a prominent no sition in our columns. and try to keep our read• ers well advised of the doings in the State and National Legislature, and of all movements of importance in the political world. Opposing firmly the aggressions of slavery, before the election, we shall continue to oppose them after it. Believing that the great end and aim of this government is to secure freedom to our people, we shall earnestly oppose the extension of slave ry into territory now free, but shall in no wise advocate any intercourse with that institution in the States where it now exists by State law. Sincerely desiring the success of the great Re publican party of this country, because we be lieve the principles of that party are best calcu lated to secure prosperity to the common court • try, and perpetuate our free institutions, we shall advocate the cause of that Tarty_ with the strength and enAgy of which we may he pos. sassed, but in a proper spirit we hope, and shall look to the future for its triumph, believing that right and justice will in the end prevail. fl:7The result of the election does not vary any from our statement given last week. nor the fact that Buchanan is a minority Prod dent. Such is the operation of the machi_ nery of electing a President, that a minority of the people can. and in this case do, elect theie candidate. This results from the fact that each State chooses its own Electors. and all the votes cast in a State above a majoiity are of no prac tical utility. Thus. the 75 000 votes which Fremont had over Buchanan in New Took State. and the 05,000 in Massachusetts. are no better than 100 majority. would have been each towards electing - Fremont. and must be laid out of the account, instead of t•tf-erring the meager majorities which Buchanan received in several other States. As we Said last week, had it not been for the American force in the field, w hich diverted and distracted the efforts of our :limy from the true and vital points of the engagement. the Repub.: Beau hosts would have gained the day and have conquered by a single battle. As it is, n e must and shall renew the contest nt the first Opportunity. The struggle just past will only serve to prepare us for the next and successful conflict. We have acquired knowledge, exia - Ticino and courage from this engagement. The Americans will disband anti range Olt np , elves according as their consciences Mid impulses may lead, on one or the other side of the con tending parties. Henceforward the contest will be between . the• Republic •n•-z and Democrats, and the issue will he ,lear and simple. The Ihmosrais have the President and a majnritvin Congress. There is nothing to prevent them from pet:shit ind in and pt.:fit:Ong the policy the present ad ministration have inaugurated. namely. the ex tension of Slavery into Free' Tertitery. If this is done. it ivill Le Opposed by nine-tenths of the people of the rice States. That it will .be persisted in, no ono acquainted with the de signi of the South. and the character of the Democratic party North, can doubt. Hefe, then, will be the issue, and who can doubt or despair of the ultimate verdict of the people upon that question. hence we say that the campaign has just opentd. and that other battles must and will be fought before it is clos ed. . Let the Republicans. lhurelbre. keep their organization—stand to their arms. and lie lea dy for the first signal of battle, and a glorious victory will eru long crown their noble drums in behalf of Freedom. Anson S. Burllngaxne. We Congratulate the North on the re-election of this sterling friend and champion of her rights. Every etibrt was .mnde'to defeat him. Pro-slavery Americans. prc-slavcry Democrats, old fogy Boston Aristocrats—all joined hands to defeat a man who has shed the highest glory on their State—the man before whom the bul lies of the South first quailed. We thank heaven. that they were spare) It-s..disgrace of success, and all who seen 13tirliti'dth4 while in this State during the late canvass, will j o i n with us in congratulations. 17" Congress meets next Monday a week, and continues in session until the 4th March. 1857. Continued Organization of the Republican Party. Last Thursday evening n very large Repub lican meeting was held in this borough. where at measures were adopted for the continued or ganization of 'the RePublican party in our bo rough and ..tottnty. the proceedings of which may be found in another column. This is n good move, and shows that.the battle fiir freedom is not ended. Though defeated in the late contest. we are not conquered. The spirit which has spoken out for freedom in this contest is still with the people, and their hearts glow with the prosp..cts before them. The indications ore stfong and easily understood. Slavery has gained n greet point in the defeat of our candi dates, but has galled it by such means. and at such hazards, that the victor feels no nssurance of success again. Our defeat has given us no cause to•be in the least discouraged. we should rather rjoice, for it is a victory to our oppo• nents tha. has revealed to thi m the band writ ing on the- wall. awhile t clearly indicates that their days are numbered, and that the destroy ing Ague is on their track. and will soo:1 smite their organization and sink it with their princi ples and policy into nothingness. Let us labor incessantly to school the ma •ses in our princi ples, for just so soon ns this :hall have I con done: our party must triumph. as is fully dent. onstrate ; by the results of the last election in the States most noted for their learning and general information. in all those States we have received the largest majoritks that have ever been known ; and when we shall have succeed. ed in convincing the ueople. that the princi ples of our party are di signed and calculated to establish justice. to promote the prosperity, to secure the rights, happiness and will being of all. our VIICCCSB will he a very easy matter. The It publienn party was only organized in February, 1856. and comuquently had only been in existence about ei.e/a and a half and yet we carried elcrca, and probably twelve, out of Sixteen States. whore lynch law did not prevail. Ono more such campaign would an nihilate the adtninistration party. indeed for a month or six weeks before the October elec tions they trembled in thi it boots like men in nn agile fit. We have every thing but a present victory. and unless the next ndministration shall be nn improvement on the present ole. we shall sweep all the North * and a part of the amth in four vents. Let no friend of freedom be diqcourngel It was a darker day for liberty when Washington was driven through New Jer . sey in '76 1111111 it is imw when Fremont jost misses la ing elected President.
