Fiabingcreek is the banner township for : majorities I But ail the others have done I web; even in Scott there are 97 roles for Buchanan where Bigler had but 68 in 1854, aad Plumer bat 25 in 1855. The result of ■ the State election artoncded and irritated the opposition, antktetey worked bard to regain the ground tlieflpd lost. Loud was their exultation over IT majority io Bloom, where they had 81 a year ago! Delighted also '- were they with gains in CaUwissa, Scott and ; Greenwood, which Mill left them far behind their former majorities in those districts. But the other townships stood firm, or did bet- ; tar, and the eonnty givea Buchanan a pow- ; erfnl majority of over one thnniar.d four bun-1 dred as a free will offering of ber people. , The vole of Mr. Scott for Canal Commie- j siouer in Ootober waa not a teat of parly strength as be reoeived between one and ' two fcoodrd opposition votes, and doubtless , his being a candidate aided, to some small ex-: tent the vole of Fry and Rowe the other caodi dates qpon the Democratic State ticket. The Congressional vote (1406 majority) ia per haps the fair one to velect as indicating the Democratic strength, as Mr. Montgomery re ceived the full perty support ami nothing more. We are firmly of the opinion that the in undation of Fremont orators from the Korib ' and East upon u*. maferially aided o.o r vote in this coonty. Before they came our friends claimed a majority of 900 with tropes of ex ceeding it aomewhst, especially upon Canal Commissioner. But these men came with word* of falsehood and bill* mear—men un scrupulous in statement and extravagant of speech—and the reanll is, we obtain an in crease of 600 majority over the moat can goitre estimate previously made. No teas than ten Fremont speeches were delivered in a single week in Bloomtborg, and at other points the Kansas question was opened "with all the honors." All in vain, or rather worse : than vain were these efforts of faction. Tbey produced, or assisted to prodnee, a foil vote ia the county as die relents show, infused . activity and aatabtiahed onion in our raaks, and disgueled reasonable, conservative men 1 who might otherwise have acted with the opposition. We understand that Judge Wil mot announced that the Democratic majority , in Cofambia should ba brought under 500; 10 which end be and bis fellow "sbriekers" gave their personal attendance here, with what effect has bean sees. Upon the whole it is fair to conclude that Fremont missionary service in this county has scarcely paid ex penses, and thai, on the other band, it has actually damaged the cause it waa intended to subserve. 1 Oar people have judged Republicanism (so called) and have powerfully condemned it. And justly has their verdict been ren dered. Tbey have carefully observed the 000 rse of the opposition, daring the period over which oor statistics, above p ream ted, ex lead, and am not to be misled upon new iseoaa presented by it. lu 1886 the opposi tion to Mr party was open the eutrouey ffwewtrm. ft fNnft wee tMtt ffw (Mm*** ftf 11 nil pebtieel evH*, tiibrotf wMeh iteetmcirm 1 #* it fAfg# dpdHff tlr# buiMe MrBG 9f tbd oNvntry Id 19# <\m fah tmuMMV •n the hog beer Mild opto tvm the ptfhhr <Mr sod preatreiffh* IMmocreftr pefff- fit lit! entj Mtt HiO'Tefiff wee th* g-VM sob jmt upon whrch eppssls were ntsildtoibe po pnlar piOfi, end anbecqnetiriy rite poor Pope he# been need as e seere-ernw 10 en- ] rege (rigete aril frighten tools, (bis year the flegroee have teen the topic ttpoo which ' faciion hee made he appeals, and Kansas the 1 particular quesfteft ehowta t# sneered theie ' whirdi had preceded it.

Know-Nothingiam has nearly died out exjonld by its own violence and folly, and the Kancaa issue is substantially disposed of by the election of James Bccbanan.

"All the Decency nod Respectability.'' The Fremont blackguards are fast follow ing in the wake of the old Federalist* who arrogated to themselves all the decency and respectability, and turned the cold shoulder It) the "common plebeian." Know Nolh ingism formed an organ in the Philadelphia i Tunes, which more recently turned somewhat , Republican io its politics, but always went j for "fusion." The Know Nothings and Re. ! publicans of lh< region devour it daily with ; as much gusto as tboogh it were their bread | of life. Now to show the food they live op ou we extract a characteristic article which was hawked arotnd this town in the Timesoo last Thursday, and was enjoyed with a fine relsh by the bigots and fanatics who arro gate to -.hemvelves all the decency and re spectability.

One ia in Missouri, among the flint hills west of the month of the Obio, extending op the St. Francis river country to the vicinity of the lead mines. Hero the j darkness is th ick enough to be felt. The peo- : pie are known as " Black Dutch." Their i progenitors emigrated long ago from Penn sylvania to North Carolina, and from the tar i and torpen-ir.e regions, their sens, too poor j 1 to own nigger*, and jn ignorant enough to I prefer hnmes in a slave Sta'.e, emigrated to 1 the portion of Missouri. They have neither . poblie highways, school-booses, mecting j houses, or newspapers, and most of hem ! never saw a bank-note in their lives. They j { realize Old Eollion's sublime idea of a hard ' i raonby constituency, and vole jost as the j ' demagngne appointed to regulate their poll- j lice directs them to. They voted for Gen. j ' Jarkson longer and stronger than even old j j Berks of the Keystone. ! " Southern Illinois is a similar political : Kgypt. It ts the oldest settled part ef the 1 ; Stale, and remains in y-a 1" population, ' progrea*, and polities. The settlers are the ' I "poor white folks." too poor to own niggeri, ' from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and 1 ■ North Carolina, and tbey transplanted into ' Illinois all their ignorance, ebiftleeaness, I | rchoor honse-hating, tobacco-grinding, whis- 1 Ley-drinking habits. Too poor to own slaves 1 in a slave State, tbey nifl regard the institu tion as from heaven, and they wonld vote to re-open the slave Irade and establish the traf . fiS in Illinois, unanimously. Their poblie j roads are now daily nseJ by the tlave driver* ; for the travel of their homan chattels from Kentucky and Virginia to Missouri, and with just as mneh security of properly to the mas ters as in Arkansas or Texas. Politically, they vote one way and all the time. Egypt is fam.ons for Democratic majorities, and the 1 patty leaden have only to ascertain how large a majority ia necessary to overbalance ! the eo lightened portions of the stale, and ' Egypt honors the draft. In the lata election, for instance, the four Congressional district* 1 north of Springfield gave Fremont about for'y I thousand majority.

It it in Canada that the battle has beenchwfly fimJMl Thar* the propinquity of the United State# showed that religion ' : got along belter without any Stuto support ; than with such as was afforded by the Colo ■ nial Government. The contrast along the Canada border had been 100 striking, and the whole system it swept away. The London Times has at last come out boldly and onnquivocally on the subject of the separation of Church and State in the Colonies of Great Britain. (1 admits as a proved fact that where religion is thrown upon the people, it will be at least as well support?'.! as where the payment is enforced by law or made out of the Treasury of the Stale. In Australia and Canada, the gov ernment is going to give up all attempts at the support or preference of any denomina tion. But in Great Britain, Ihe Times says, "the fact is here we have an Establishment, and we intend lo keep it." But a few yesra ago the English Quarterly Review came out in a fulminating article on the lark of Church Establishments in the United States, especially severe on the little State of Roiide Island, delaring lhat the only ministers she possessed, were such as were too idle to work, and 100 ignorant for any thing else, that the whole people were de j moralized on account of that entire absence j of all compulsory support of religion that had ever marked the history ol that State. Now it is shown by Dr. Baird'g recent work on "Religion in America," that there is more' than one minister to every eight hundred and fifty inhabitants throughout the United Slates, and lhat about a tboasand new churches ev ery year are being built on the voluntary ; principle. Some of liieee are of cost fully ! proportioned to the increasing wealth of the j worshippers. In Rhoda Island, and in every j other Stat" in |i he^"*" 1 *!

I knew it long before you diil, long before any bo.ly did, and there are persons on this platfnrir. that knew what was my conduct; that ae a father speaks to a child, in a room by himself, at the hearth, there my warning voice WHS against it.— [Loud applause.] All advice, all my remon strances, were useless ; for, in (he first place. I, who had had A near and close view of the American Presidents; I. who have seen nil the Presidents in their chair, from Kladison to the present day ; I who have seen them all in their chair, and been intimate with many of them; I, who have received from , the lipi of many of them, while they were silling there, the overflowing expressions of their own heart; T, who have seen all this, who have been near enough to see the inside I view of them, did not happen lo havo that ■ high opinion of the enjoyment of that place which a great many people have. "It never appealed to me to be a place that I would not wish to see any good man in it in preference to myself or any of my family. ( never saw the day in which I did ndt prefer lo see any good man thele than any one of my connection, and far more thaO to be scon there myself. 1 could at least have been tried for this place. I could have been nominated for the place, on some ooca sions. I put tl down a- soon as it was men tioned to me, because I had no inclination for the thing myself. I knew goad men whom I preferred to myself, and, therefore, made way for those (.ood men. I have never seen the t.ime, from Mr. Madison's administration to the present one, in which these were nol my views. It was, therefore, repugnant lo my feelings to see him become a candidate, even if he was on national views; but knowing fto n the beginning—knowing from the first that Mr. Fremont was to ba the candidate of a sectional pa'ty, I told trim ! from tha beginning that it was impossible j that I conhl support any such nomination, j [Cheers ] j "No matter vhat came, he mils! he na j lionet-—ho muat havo o vision that could took | over the Union.

All this ; was said many months, almost half a year | before the public knew he was a candidate, ! and from this I have nnver departed." i Tits READING QUALIFICATIONS. It ia said I that 400 persons, in Connecticut,weredepriv | ed of their vute this month, by the new con- I aiitutional provision requiring that they | should know how to read and write, in order | to vote. Connecticut is the first state that tiaa ■ made an attempt to disfranchise a citizen.— | It is desirable that every man should possess i hose uitls lo knowlage, reading and w tiling, but we vhould nol fall into the error of mis takerng the mere instrumentalities for intelli gence itself. A man may know hew to think correctly, who know nothing at alt of reading aud writing, and sorne that can do both the latter have no original thinking power. The latter are less capable of exer. citing the right of suffrage intelligently, than the man who possesses natural mother wit, without any assistance from reading. An aristocracy founded upon schoolastio attain ments may be bet ter than one based upon properly, but an aristocracy of any kind in a represeut.rive republic, established ou the . principle of equal political rights, Is not very I consistent, nor very democratic.
