It is not to be denied that there has been considerable of a shower. At the recent elec tions the Democratic party has been pretty thoroughly threshed. For the second time, in Pennsylvania, we have been beaten. We will not speculate upon the causes which have led to this calamity. The main cause was undoubt edly a plenty scarcity of Democratic votes in the ballot boxes. Apathy and disaffection kept enough Democrats away from the polls to in sure an Opposition triumph. The vote, when it comes to be summed up, will be found small. and the Democratic vote very small indeed. These were manifest signs of reactionary move ments in our ranks, and at one time we had hopes that a good turn out would secure us the victory, but that turn out did not take place. The election news from everywhere is very muchalike. There is no chance for any county or State bragging of what it has done, over its neighbors. The witty Artemus Ward " ad vises the Democracy to quit reading newspa pers for a couple of weeks, and devote their attention to some light reading, like Baxter's Saints' Rest. Artemus is right. The figures are very heavy reading for Democrats just now. But we are not disposed to find fault with any body for the result. It was to be, and is—and let us make the best of it. Crirnination or childish lamentation can do us no good. Let us begin and work for the momentous future. Pennsylvania is yet a Democratic State, and will so prove herself when the Democracy is true to itself, and rallys for its great principles, as it will rally next year. Let the past rest, and with, fresh vigor and spirit, let us enter upon the coming Presidential contest. From the present time let each eye be aimed at vic tory. in IMO, and each arm be strengthened by everything consistent with sound principles to obtain it Pennsylvania has always been a conservative State, and we do not believe she is yet prepar ed-to endorse the mad doctrines of political ab olitionism—now named Sewardism. It the issue is distinctly made between a sectional Republican ,candidate and a National Demo crat, we do not think the voice of Pennsylva nia will be a doubtful one. But to secure a vic tory we must work—work—work. THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT' AT HARPER'S FERRY. The recent extraordinary insurrection a 'Harper's Ferry. made. as it appears un doubtedly to have been, with a view of ex citing a servile insurrection among the slave population of Maryland and Virginia. is a direct consequence of the - irrepressible conflict" doctrines of the Republican par ty. Such scenes as have occurred within the past few days at Harpers Ferry, are but a faint foretaste of what may be expected if the fanatical Abolition doctrines of Few ardism are permitted to control the govern ment of this country Although we admit the plan to have been a foolish one, and ilia possible of consummation, still the country and the world can regard it in no other light than an Abolition movement. It is the first open attempt since the foundation of our government which the fanatics of politics have dared to make to free the slaves of the South by force and bloodshed. The combination, fortunately for the peace e of the community, was not extensive enough to he successful to any great ex tent. Indeed, it could not be successful, for the welfare of the whole white race de pends upon the immediate crushing tut of all such attempts. A servile war at the South, aided by Abolitionism at the North, would be a most bloody and terrible atlldr. Such a war was the undoubted intent of those who matured the plan for this sudden and almost incomprehensible outbreak. , • In speaking of this exciting- oecurrenci; appropriate reference may be made to a very significant passage in one of Gerrit Smith's letters, published a mouth or two ago, in which lie speaks of the folly tt at tempting to strike the shackles off the slaves by the force of moral suasion or legal agitation, and predicts that the next movement made in the direction of negro emancipation would be an insurrection in the South. Is this Harper's Ferry afilair the consequence of the prediction of the peace ful Gerrit, or ae it the " first gun " in the Seward campaign the commencement of the irrepressible conflict'? The future will show whether or not this is the first act of a terrible drama, at the finale of which the curtain may drop upon the American Union, if the designs of the conspirators are not thwarted in time ! THE RUTHERFORD CASE. We wish to state in advance of the trial of thus case, which will probably take place at the present term of our criminal court, that we shall not permit our columns to be sullied by a report of the testimony which must inevitably be adduced on the trial. We have no dispo sition to minister to the prurient taste which could delight in reading the disgusting details of infamous offences. Those who choose to batten on such garbage must seek it elsewhere than in the columns of the PosT. We make this announcement, not that we pretend to greater morality than others, but no one who posssxssas a conscientious desire to promote pub lic morals, could permit himself to be instru meatAT In bringing to the household circle of decentpeople the detail., of alleged moral ob liquity, such as the Cyprian goddess would bilstlJat, and Fauns and Satyrs might be Ash** of.

THE NEWS In (Thin the Republicans hare a majority of fifteen in the Senate, and twenty-four in the House. Foster's Dramatic Company is at Bucyrus, )hio, this week. We are glad to hear that he "Governor" is doing well. The Opposition papers speak of the success of the Republican'party in Ohio, as " a sore blow" for Douglas. "Words are but air," and it is easy to make assertions like this, but facts are stubborn things. iur oppo nents in dissecting the election returns from Ohio seem purposely to have overlook ed the significant fact that wherever Sena tor Douglas spoke in Ohio the Democratic gain k and majorities were large and decisive. His first speech was delivered at Columbus. in Franklin county. The result was that the Democratic majority increased front :;63 on the State ticket, in 'fig, to nearly 909 in '59. He then went to Cincinnati, in Ham ilton county, which on account of its ten netinhers in the Legislature, was regarded aS a most important point. There he made an address which was list e ned t o I, y one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the city. In ISSS it gave the I apposition a lila jority of 1200, but was carried'hy the Demo crats in 1559 by 090 to IWO Majority. H also spoke at Wooster, in Wayne county. anti the Democratic majority ineritte-ei I tiler, from 53 votes in ISSS to 00 in 1;69. 'These are facts, and they lead to the belief that it' it had been possible for Senator Douglas to have delivered ten or fifteen speeches in different parts of Ohio, the Democracy would have been aroused to such an extent that Ohio would have been fully redeemed from Republican misrule. At all events the Democracy of t thin upon a popular ,ON - ereignty platform, have cut down the t appo sition majority of IS:Xi of 43,909 to I 7,090 or 10,000.

That the government ..1 a sovereign State, unrestricted and unchecked by any constitu tional prohibition, would limo , power to con - ti:iente private property, even without romlien sation to the owner, is a proposition which will scarcely be denie,l by any one who has mastered the primer of political science. Sov ereignty, which is the supreme authority of au independent State or government, Is in its na ture irresponsible and absolute. It cannot be otherwise, sine , : it I:SS no superior b) whom it ran Ike called to ac , otint. Moro moral abstrac tion, or theoretic principles of natural justice do not limit the legal authority of a sovereign. No governinent ought to violate justice; but 11 , 1\ MUllrlitilti go, ernnient, whose hands aro en tirely free, con violate It with impunity For these reasons it is that the Saxon race have been laboring planning, and lighting, during serum hundred years, for Great Charters, Bills of and Constitutions to limit the sov ereignty of all the governments they have lived under Our ancestors in the old country, as well as in America, have wasted their money and blood in VElill, to eqabildl constitutional government , , if it be true that a government without a constitution in not capable of doing injustice. They knew better than that. They understood very well that a sovereign govern ment, no matter by whom its power is wielded may do what wrong it pleases, and "hid its will avouch the the deed." Now, what is the constitutional prohibition which can anywhere be found to restrain Popular f . sovereignty in the Territories" (if there be such a thing there) from confiscating any citizen's property ' There is none. A Territory has no constitution of its own, and nobody Would be absurd enough to say, that it i. governed by the constitution of another State. Will it be said, that the provision in the Federal Constitution, which forbids the ta king of private property without compensa tion, can be used so as to restrain a territorial sovereignty •; Certainly not. The Supreme Court have decided (in Barron vs. The City of Baltimore, 7 Peters, 243) that the clause re ferred to applies ezelusively.to the exercise of the power by the Federal Government. The rule was so laid down by Chief Justice Mar shall. It was concurred in by the whole Court: and its correctness has never been de ' nied or doubted by any judge, lawyer or states man from the time of the decision to this day. If, therefore, there be a sovereignty in the Territories it is sovereignty unlimited by any constitutional interdict. This implies a power in the Territories infinitely greater than that of any other government in all North America. the simple and easy solution of- all this difficulty is furnished b y the Supreme Court, and adopted by the Democratic party as the true principle governing the subject. It is this : That the Territories aresnot sovereign ties, but their governments are public corpo rations, established by Congress to manage the local affairs of the inhabitants, like the gov ernment of a city, established by a State Leg islature Indeed, there is, probably, no city in the United States, whose powers are not larger than,those of a Federal Territory. The peo ple o a city elect their own mayor, and di rectly or indirectly, appoint all their municipal officers: —B ut the President appoints the Chief Executive of a Territory, as welles thejud,lzis. He may send them there from any part of the Union, and in point of fact they are generally strangers to the inhabitants when first chosen. They are in no way responsible to the Terri tory, or its people, but to the Federal Govern ment alone, and they may be removed when ever the President thinks proper. The terri torial legislature is sometimes (and only some times) elected by the people ; but why'? Be cause Congress has been pleased to permit it by the organic act. The power that gives this privilege could withhold it too. It is always coupled with restrictions and regulations which could never be imposed on a sover eignty by any authority except its own The organic act generally prescribes the quail ! fications of voters, and divides the territory into districts : and the action of the legislative body itself is controlled by the veto power of a Governor appointed by the President and re movable at his pleasure. It is too clear for possible controversy, that a Territory is not a sovereign power, but a subordinate dependency. It cannot deprive a man of his property with out duo process of law, or without just compen sation, for two reasons : I. It has no sover eign power of its own : and, 72. The Federal Government, being forbidden by ,the Constitu tion to exercise such itself, can' bestow it on a Territory. The Constit,:' aof the United States protects a men's praferty from being plundered by a territorial legislature, just as a State constitution protects it from robbery by the authorities of a city corporation. It should be noted that when this question was before the Supreme Court of the United States, there was some difference of opinion among the judges, on the question whether Congress might, or might not, legislate for a Territory in such manner is to take away the right of property in slaves. A majoriv of two-thirds or more held the negative: and r. Douglas admits that the majority was clearly right. But no member of the court expressed the opinion, nor was it even thought of by the counsel, that the Territories had any such in herent and natural power of their own. In deed there is no judge of any grade or charac ter, nor any writer on law or government, who has ever asserted or given the least Countenance to this notion of pop ht or any other hind of sorereignty in the Territor•ie.s. Some trouble will be saved iu this part of the argument, by the fact that :do - 2e the first publication of this pamphlet, Mr. Douglas denies and repudiates all elaiin of ,o,,reignty for the Territorie2.

Douglas with adopting the, exploded sys stem of morality, which allow , a man to cos- er up the truth under an equit,r,... We are hound to take his denial fairly, as meaning. that he never thought the territories had the rights and powers, which belong, to sovereign governments. Let us see how this assertion will stand the test of investigation. We do not deny that the article in Harper is 1' xtreiniqy difficult to under-tand It; un- Minted thoughts. loose ,xpresAions, and illogi cal reasoning, have covered it with shadows, clouds, and darkness But we will not admit that it ha= no meaning at all.
