Our Political Prospects.
The present position of the Republican party is
truly an enviable one. The results of the re
cent elections are-ominous of success in 1860.
Not a state, whioh in 1860 cast its electoral
vote for Fremont, has retracted.. its political
faith.. Judging from the past we can under
propermanagement expect:the support of these_
states in 1860, States, which in 1850 east '
their electoral vote for Buchanan., have de
01.3rted a party and
,a President, who have base
ly betrayed their pledges. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania have been reclaimed. The elec
tions in Illinois and Indium since 56 have
demonstrated, that the Democracy arc in a
minority in these states on the popular vote
The Democratic majority in Oregon at tho re
cent election was reduced to. less than fifty,
and this was gained by fraud:, Kansas will
be admitted into_ the Union before 1860, be
cause notwithstanding the English bill the
dar o_n at Bay no to her request for
mocrac
admission into the Union. By looking at the
table of, electoral votes to be cast next fall, to
he found in another column, it will be seen
that one hundred and fifty four votes are re
quirad for a majority, and of the Nothern
states, conceding to the democracy Oregon,
California, Indiana, and Illinois, the Republi
cans will still have one hundred and fifty-five
votes. Our present strength then is more than
sufficient to win the battle of 1860, because we
have conceded states, in which the Republi
cans have a majority of the popular vote. Let
it be rememb - erid that the recent victories
have been won under circumstances supposed
by the Democracy to be most flattering to their
prospects. Old John Brown with 19 or 20
men had invaded Virginia, as is alleged, wit
treasonable designs, and the Democracy un
derook to charge the responsibility of the
whole movement on the Republican, Party,
and supposed that this hue,-and--eCy would
greatly help their emleavors. The results of
the elections in Wisconsin, New Jersey, New
York and usotts speak fie themselves.
The cry about Republican complicity with
John Brown's insane abolitionism had better
be stopped. The game will not work. The
people will not be humbugged. The masses
think and gather informatibn for themselves,
and nothing will succeed but the honest truth.
The election in York State, he it recollected,
was fought under 81111 greater
A difficulties.—
1:1: 1
There were three Acts in the field in 1856, the
American, De , erotic and Republican. The
Republican vo e had a plurality of 80,000
over the Dem ratio, but was less than
the combined Democratic and American vote.
This year the Americans adopted the half of
the Republican, and half of the Democratic
State ticket and judging from the past, confi
dently expected to hold tl.e balance of power
and to defeat half of the Republican State
Ticket. Tho result has been a Republican
triumph over the forces of Democracy and
Know Nothingism combined. The result hai3
been a signal triumphlnd in view of it,' WC
can with safety look with exultant hope to
the crowning victory of 1860.
The Next State Convention
The next State Convention will be held on
the 22d of February next. On the Convention
will devolve the duty of nominating a candi
date for Governor, and selecting two delegates
et large to the National Convention. The
"ConVention will also fix upon a plan of select.
ing delegates to the National Convention.—
The latter is a question of considerable impor
tance. . The Democratic State Convention
sends the delegates. In the Whig and Re
publican party heretofore, it has been the cus
tom for the people of the several Congression
al Districts to select the delegates. The ques
tion is one of groat importance, because of its
bearing on the Presidency. The friends of
General Cameron are endeavoring to secure
the Pennsylvania delegation in his favor, wkilst
others are making an effort in favor of Judge
Read of the Supreme Court. The People
should beialive to the importance of the ques
tion, and decide it after mature deliberation,
with a wise reference to the good of tho glori
ous cause, the success of which should bo the
ehief aim. •
'MEETING OF COUNTY EXEFUTIFE COMMITTEE.
—Let there be a full attendance of the mem
bers of the above Committee at thee Public
House of Mr. Preston BroCk in first ward of
the Borough of Allentown on the coming Sat
urday at 10 o'clock A. M. Business of im-
Portauce will deka the attention of the com
mittee.
stir Don't it look rather suspicious that so
many prominent democratic politicians should
feel such a deep interest in Cook's trial? It
must be borne in Mind - that Cook was a citi
zen of Harper's Ferry, and, it is said, the
principal originator of the outbreak.

NEW YOIRK.-
The election in this State was for nine State
officers—Secretary of State, Controller, Canal
Commissioners, &c.—for Justices of the Su
preme Court, Legislature, &e. The Americans
ran no ticket of their own, but adopted one
composed of half the Democratic candidates.
It was very generally supposed that the Dem
cratic candidates supported by tho Americans
did be elected—but it seems the latter are
of su ciently strong to hold the balance of
power as between the two other great parties
in the Empire State. Not only aro the Re,
publicans voted for by the Americans elected
by-a-large-majority,_(some_3o,o_oo) but those
opposed by the Americans are also believed to
be elected beyond all doubt—thus showing a.
deg;ce of itypublican strength in the State
greater than the Democrats and Americans
combined. The Republicans have also large
majorities in both branches of the Legisla
ture, and have elected three-fourths of the
County, officers throughout the State.
MASSACHUSETTS
The election in this State was for Governor,
(for which there were three candidates—Re
publican, Whig and Democratic,) Members of
the Legislature and local officer's. Returns for
Governor from nearly the whole State, sum
up as follows :
Banks, (Republican) -
Butler, (Democrat) -
BriggP, (old line Whig) -
—Banks' plurality over Butler, 23,2.58. The
Senate stands 34 Republicans, 4 Democrats
and 2 doubtful. The House 182 Republicans,
50 Democrats and 4 Opposition. The entire
Republican State ticket is elected. Randall,
tho Republican candidate for Congress, is
re-elected.
NEW JERSEY
The election in this State was for GUN or,
Members of the Legislature, local offic &c.
Tho complete returns for Governor (in u jori
ties) sum up as follows:
For C. S. Olden, (Republican) 5,235
" E. K. V. Wright, (Democrat) 3,215
- Olden's majority, 2.121
—ln 1856, Newell, (Republican) was elected
Governor by 2;650, but the vote is not so large
now as it was then.
The Legislature is close. The Senate stands
—Democrats 12 ; Republicans 8 ; Americans
2. The Assembly : Democrats 28 ; Republi
cans 30 ; Americans 2. •
WISCONSIN.
The election in this State took place on
Thursday. The following dispatch goes to
show that Wisconsin is all right:
CUICAGO, Nov. 10.—The returns from the
Wisconsin election are very incomplete. The
Milwaukie Sentinel to-day says the returns re
ceived confirm the opinion that the entire Re
publican State ticket has been elected by a
handsome majority, and that the Republicans
retain their ascendancy in the State Legislature.
LOUISIANA
The following dispatch. gives all we know
about this. State:
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. B.=The Opposition
have elected nineteen of the twenty-three Rep
resentatives, and all of the three Senators
from this city.
Miles Taylor, anti-Slidell Democrat, and
Edward Bouligny, American, are elected to
Congress by large majorities. The American
majority in the city . is about 2500. The Dem
ocratic State ticket is elected.
RESULT OF TUE INSAtiE EFFORTS OF TUE
DEMOCRATIC PRESS—The Now York Times, an
inde . pendent paper of influence, and lately of
democratic tenderelos, says that the cause of
the tremendous defeat of the democracy in.
that State, is owing to the disgusting and per
sistent efforts of the democratic press in the
Harper's Ferry affair to make political capital
out of blood !—that their course has 'disgusted
all decent men and .driven them over to the
0 osition.

STATE CENTE A L COM ITTEE.—The State
Central Committee of the People's party met
at the St. Lawrence Hotel, Philadelphia, on
the 3d inst. The News says there was a fair

Committee to issue a call for a State Conven
tion to be hold at Harrisburg, to nominate a
candidate for Governor, and to choose two
Senatorial delegates to a National ConV'ention

of the Committee was arrived at, after a very
interesting discussion, which was character
ized by the utmost harmony and good feeling.
The Lebanon Courier says that Mr. Kline,
the Chairman of the Committee, will probably
fix the 22d of February as the day for holding
the State Convention.

Car The Baltimore Patriot charges that the
raid of Harper's Ferry was connived, at by
prominent democrats, in order to make politi
cal capital for their broken down and shatter
ed party..- Certain it is, that Buchanan's Sec
retary of War knew of the affair three months
before it happened, as he has himself acknowl
edged. Where then does the responsibility of
all the blood-shed rest? Certainly with those
high in office,,wito were cognizant of till the
facts, and yet refused to "nip the affair in the
bud," as it was in their power, and their duty,
to do.
A WOMAN PASSING AS A MAN FOR FORTY
YEARS.-A most extraordinary revelation was
made at an inquest recently, before the coro
ner for Salford, England. The body of a man
was found in the sluice at Mode Wheel, on the
river Irwell, and in the evening an inquest
was held. On inquiry, it was found that
the deceased, who went by the name of
Harry Stokes, was in fact a woman ; that she
had worked as a bricksetter for about a quar
ter of a century ; that she had been twice mar
ried during that period ; had kept a boor shop
in Manchester during the early part of her
career, but in every way conducted herself as
a man. Tho jury after an examination, re
turned a verdict of "found drowned."
SHOCKING DEArn.—Wc learn from the Mid
dletown Journal that a young man named Goo.
Bower, formerly of that place, died very sud
denly, at Hummelstown, on Wednesday.. It
appears he had a very. largo wart of his hands,
and was induced by some ono, to cut it out,
and apply arsenic to destroy the roots. Ho
applied the poison on Monday, after having
cut the wart. The out being very deep; the
poison communicated with the leading arte
ries, and he was thereby poisoned. '
tar Tho receipts of grain at Chicago, last
week, were seven hundred and forty-six thou
sand, one hundred and two bushels. Tho ag
gregate of the recbipts for the corresponding
week in 1855 was three hundred and sixty
nine thousand, one hundred and sixty-four
bushels, givi .g an increase for the past week,
of three hu dred and seventy-six thousand,
nine hundre :.d thirty eight bushels, or
more than oue l .dred per cent.

OUR BETHLEHEM COUBBBBONDENVE
BI7ULINEII, NOvember 14.—Tht suggestion to ap•
point the delegates to the National; Convention by
State dorrfenttost Meets the emplane& dieappr on t
Of the Republieatis of ebbs notion. I Mt glad . to
See that a large number of the Republican presume
ectudemn the scheme in severe terms. We, in this
section fif the eringtessiOnal district; are in favor of
sending a pure, upright and hottest theft hi the Na
tional Convention—not a politican--one who has e
single eye to the public good, and who will regard -
the success of principles and metteares paramount to
mon—one who has no-aim:in his own or other's politi
cal advadComent—none but the publio good.. Such
a maw we find in Henry D. Maxwell—and such a
man wo can send uninstructed, relying upon hie past
conduct as a sufffcient guarantee of the future. Of
course, if the selection of delegates were made by a
State Convention, Mr. Maxwell would fall short, be
cause he ie not politician enough.
Tho annual meeting and dinner of the Pennsyl
vania Historical Society, at the Sun Hotel, on the
Bth last., (the 177th anniversary of the landing of .
William Finn,) was quite a creditable affair. There
wore seventy-five members of the Society present;
among them Hon. H.. C. Longnockes, Coagressitrt
elect from your district. The ball whore the dinner
was served was decorated with American digs. Thd
President of the Society, Mr. Biddle, presided at the
the table. The company enjoyed themselves with'
the delicacies of the table for the space of about three
hours. The toaster wore responded to by William L
Reed, of Philadelphia; L. S. Corgell, of New Hope;
Henry D. Malwell, of Easton; •Gen. Keira, of Read
ing; H. Spockman, of Philidelphia; H. C. Long
neoker, of Allentown, and others. Tho members of
the Society expressed great satisfaction with the place,
and its various objects of interest.
Some three or weeks ago, the renders of the Regis
ter wore informed of the total destruction by fire of
the store of Mr. Bartlett, in Wethorill—yet, to-day,
'there stands on the same spot a splendid new build
ing, almost ready for occupancy. This is quick
work, and, is highly creditable to the perseverance
and energy of Mr. Bartlett.
On Friday morning last, a young ;German girl,
about 15 years old, in the employ of Mr. H. Knauss,
was arrested on a charge of having stolen small
sums of money, articles of wearing apparel, &0.,
from her employer, and also from Mr. Yohe, her
former employer. She was brought before Esquire
Borhek, but owing to some informality or technical
ity of the law, and partly because of the request of
_Mr._Lilliendahl_oLNem_York,_fthe_wae_discharged_
and handed over to Mr. L.'s custody. She accom.:
panied Mr. L. to New York on the same day, (she
had formerly been in his employ also.) It was tho
I professed object of Mr. L., upon their arrival at New
York ; to have the girl arrested on a similar charge
It seems that whilst in the employ of Mr. L., he
missed goods and money, &c., to quite a considera
ble amount but not the least suspicion attached to
the girl in question, because of her tender years and
youthful appearance. Another servant, elder in
years, though innocent of the charge, was arrested
and was compelled to suffer for the crimes of this
young girl.

There is a contest going on hero among our young
men—a contest for reform. A year or two ago the
young men of Bethlehem were nearly all classed "as
"rowdies" and "beer drinkers"—but 'tie no longer
so. Some time ago a goodly number of them,
perhaps one-half, finding that the drain, both upon,
the pocket and health, to say nothing of reputatioer
and character, was too great for their own good, de
termined to reform. A large number of them joined
the temperance association, and others connected
themselves with the Young Men's Missionary Societyt,
de. Even since then there has bean a contest going
on between the " , reformers" or "non - hoer drinkers"
and the "anti-reformers" and "beer drinkers."—
This contest has extended iteself to the Ave cofhpa
pies, and has resulted in the "demise" of the Dili
gence Company." It seems the "reformers" got
the upper hand in the company, and the "anti-•
reformers,"• to revenge Umet:hos, destroyed the
pictures and furniture in the house, and injured the
engine, all of which resulted in the abandonment of
the engine by the "reformers."
There seems to be no limit to the "capital in nig
ger's" which is in stove fur the demooracy, for there
is a rumor of another "nigger baby in town." I
have not sifted the matter yet, and cannot vouch for
the truth of the report. Perhaps it is a legitimate
"nigger baby," or was gotten up and intended for a
"good joke." I suppose, however, that is a scheme
of the Democracy to make " two' nigger baby's out
of ono;" in order to add to their capital in trade.",
LITTLE GIRL EILLED.—A most horrible ac
cident occurred last Friday morning a week,-at the
depot, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, by which a
little girl aged tan or twelve years lost herlife. The
accident occurred as the eight o'clock train on the
Cintral Road was preparing to start for New York.
The train loft the depot in Phillipsburg, and ran over
the Railroad Bridge to the Lehigh Valley . depot as
it always does, and had on board a number of little
German Catholic girls of Philipsburg, whp attend
the German school on the bill near South Easton.—
These little children usually ride over on the train,
and up to this time have mot with no accident, as
they generally remained in the cars until they stop
ped; but this morning, the little one who lost her
life was out on the platform, and attempted to jump
off while the train was backing, and fell; when en
gine and tender both passed over her, nearly cutting
her in two as she lay directly across the track. The
poor little creature was mangled most horribly,'we
are told by those who witngpsed the accident, and
life remained but a - few moments after she was pick
ed up. After the body of the unfortunate little one
had been removed, large gouts of blood and plaice
of flesh and bones were to be seen where the acci
dent happened, presenting a most sad sight. Her
little school companions were of course horror strick
en, and most of them accompanied the remains beak
to Phillipsburg, where they were taken at once.—
The name of the little girl was Amelia Hans. Her
parents are German Catholics, residing in Phillips
burg. No blame attaches to those who had charge
of the train, as they were only doing what it is their
duty every day to do.—Easton Expresi.
. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Jerome' Gould, a
young brakesman on . the Accommodation train on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, had both of hie arms
cut off t)iis morning at Catasauque. While engaged
in doing somo work on the train ho fell between two
cars and was injured as above. Young Gould Lis
known to many' persons in Easton, having at one
time been bar-keepor at the American Hotel. He Is
not more than twenty-one or twenty-two years of
ago. Ile was takeil bomo to hie parents in Mauch
Chunk immediately after the dreaaful accident. Tho
cue is a very sad one.—Easton Expresa.
