The Hattie is Won!
The victory of Friday week in the
Congress of the United States is one of
tin most signal and important that has
poor been won by the Deinocrat:c par
ty in the history of our country. It
will gin to our party a new lease upon
the cienidertee of the patriotic masses
;011ie Union, It attests anew its con
sonance and national character, and
plants a hope tor tho perpetuation of
the Union, in the heart of the nation.
The itruggio which commenced in '
1820, and, like a fire-bell in the night,
Owned Mr. Jefferson in his repose at
liar now reached a conclu
sion. The policy of strife, which the
001111reis of that day inaugurated, has
hot been completely abrogated by
liiis - final step, in the substitution of!
smother, based on constitutional prin
ciples. The statute book no longer
stomps a stigma of inferiority and in
equality upon one section of the Union
pr another; and so far as the ides of
sections can continue, a principle has
been established under which the vie
terries of sections over each other can
po longer be the result of partial and'
unequal legishttion, but only of superior
'capacities for physical and political de
velopment.
The battle is now won, We trnAt
that there will be no need of fighting it
Aver again in the admission of any oth
er new State. It is for the adversaries
of the Democracy (remarks the Union)
to decide whether there shall be 4 truce
pa this question or not. But., whatever
their choice shall be, we thifik the dan
ger is over, and that the back-bone of
the controversy is broken. We have
fought the battle under many disadvan
tages, to which we need not revert. It
poets always a prodigious effort to es
tablish a great principle, and its cham
pionship is always attended by discom.
/Mures and defeats. But., once estab-
Baked, great principles are apt to stand
forever. They vindicate themselves.
They fight their own battles. The
gates of hell arc unable to - prevail
pgainst them. If the Democracy shall,
indeed, be challenged again to the de
fence of the policy they have now in.
fpaggrated, we shall have no fear of the
result of future encounters with the
enemy. We have fought the great
fight unto triumph; we shall carry it
in the skirmishes scatheless and un
harmed.

in speaking of the bill Alai leo pow;
both nooses of Congrwes for the ad
minim of Kansas into the Uaioo, re- 1
marks:
iltx.
The bill which has passed has been
stigmatised, in some quarter*, as a
bribe to the people of Kansas, inasmuch
as it provides for the transfer to the
State, on its organization, of certain
lids for school purposes, the erection
of public buildings, die., making such
transfer, of course, dependent up- , I
on the acceptance of the act. There is'
no ground for such an imputation upon
the bill, for the amount of land donated
to Kansas, under its provisions, is less
dill■ one-fourth the quantity claimed
by the Lecompton ordinalice,—less, it'
we remember correctly, than the To
pekaiteti asked for ,—and no more than
the Minnesota and Oregon admission
bills provide for giving to those tern- ,
tones, on their admission into the
Union as States. It is the settled poli
cy, on the admission of new States, to
grant them lands, to a certain extent, ,
for school and other purposes, gc neral
ly regulated by a grunt of certain num
bered sections in each township; and
the provisions in the bill under consid- .
erution are the same as other States
have received, and all new States will
receive on occasion of their admission ,
into the Union. When Kansas comes ,
in as a State, whetlicr it be under the
provisions of the act which has just t
passed the House, or at seine future
period, the usual share of the public,
lands will enure to her citizens for the
usual purposes, agreeably to the pro-',
visions of the punt bill.
The settlement of this question will;
have an important influence upon po. I
, litical affairs. It
,is a matter for'eon
gratulation, oven among those who
have no party obligations to fulfil, that ,
so many of the members of Congress
who separated from their noviciate* on I
the Senate bill, have been enabled, in i
considering the proposition of the con- i
ference committee, to concur with the;
administration, and to cast their votes,
in accordance with their previous hab
its, against the party which has made!
Kansas shrieking, if not a profession,
at least a practice, for several years
Governor Walker land Secretary
Stanton ga i have also, it seems, acquiesced
in the mode oradjustment finally agreed
to, aid it is net improbable that the
Democratic party will be substantially
a unit on this, the leading measure of
Mr. Buchanan* admi ' • n.
I The real vote on t e ill son Mr.
English's motion to reconsider the vote
and Lay the motion on the table, and
the vote stood one hundred and thirteen
to one hundred. This is exactly the
same vote as that by which the Mis
souri Compromise was repealed four
years ago.
The political horizon is clearing off.
The clouds which have boon hovering
over the country and the Democratic
party are passing away, and the future
looms cheerily and brightly before us.
The administration of Mr. Buchunau
bide fair to be a brilliant and successful
one, notwithstanding the combination
which was formed against it at the
very threshold. With a calm and
truthful heart the President has looked
on the angry elements in their wild
commotion, and bait never faltered in
his belief that all would eventually
come out right. And we rejoice that
his anticipations have been so far rea
lized. The Kansas question has been
fairly and honorably settled. The
necessary supplies have been given to
maintain the army in effective force.
Treaties hare been made with Cen
tral American States which are deemed
highly advantageous to the future in
terests of the country. The State De
partment, under the control of the vet
eran Statesman, Gen. Cass, has acquired
new honors in its correspondence with
Lard Napier, and its maintenance of
the dignity and independence of the
country. In short the skies look bright,
and the signs of the times unerringly
indicate the continued suprema.:y of
Democratic rule and Democratic meas
ures. The country is safe from the
machinations of Block Republicans and
their Know Nothing allies. Abolition
excitement must die out as returning
reason resumes its sway. And we may
reasonably hope that the firey ordeal
through which the Administration and i
the Democratic party hive just passed
will servo but to purify and strengthen
them for the future. We breathe free
or, and fool more confidence in the
stability of the Union, which we trust
will long survive all its present factious
opponents.
There is still work to be done. And
may we not hope that past differences!
will be forgotten, and that in the future;
the great National Democratic party
East, West, North, and South, may be
found firm and united, one and indivisi
ble, marching forward with conscious i
rectitude to the accomplishment of the
great destinies of the Republic f—Balti-'
more Republican.
Rejoicings.—Everywhore we hear of

the final settlement of the Kansas ques

How it is Received in Indisna
The passage of the Conference Kan
sas bill has caused rejoicing an over the
Union. In Indiana there is but ono ;
feeling, and that is in favor of We moil. ;
sure. The following is a specimen of,
many letters received by the editor of;
the Washington Union upon the sub- I
ject. The writer is ohe of the most
prominent and clear-beaded Dom icrats
in southern Indiana. He says:
"English's mea4ure is universally
ap
proved by the Democrats here. I drove
not heard an objection either from Le
conipton or anti-Lecompton Democrats.
In fact, it reunites the party, and it is
for this reason that the Black Republi
cans are so hostile to it. They had
cherished the hope that the Democrats
were split beyond all hopes of reconcil
iation, and they looked for the certain
triumph of Black Republicanism at the
next presidential election. Prentice,
in the Louisville Journtil,• rages and
foams, denounces English as a traitor,
and exposes his disappointment in every
line. The Democrat (Harvey's paper )
takes ground for the compromise, and
advocates it warmly and ably. Bo does
the Courier. We are all rejoiced that
the integrity of our party is preserved,
and the Black Republicans again disap
pointed and defeated."

The passage of the Kansas admi."sion
bill yesterday, one of the most momen
tous result' that have happened in our
constitutional history„ was secured by
the co-operation of the unanimous Dem
ocratic delegation from Ohio and the
almost unanimous Democratic delegn.
tint' from Indiana—the only exception
from the ;auks being Mr. john Davis,
of that State.
If there could be anything which
could add more than another to the
gratification of the Democracy of the
Union at this result., it is the fact of the
cordial fidelity of the maj ority
_ of the
Democracy of the great Northwest to
their organization, their measures, and
their pnneiples. The Democratic par
ty could very poorly have spared such
men as Mr. English and his colleague*,
of Indiana, and as Mr. Groeeheck and
his colleagues, of Ohio, in the groat
struggle . which it is waging with the
fierce fanaticism of the North. To - the
talents and influence of Mr. English
the country owes a very large share of
the credit which fadue to the champion
ship of the great measure that his Just
become slaw of the land. And, when
we can count a man ofthe learning and
ability orMr. Grooebeek among the
supporters of this measure, and the ad
herents to the Democratic cause and
organization, after the trying struggle
that has neenrred, we have a source of
great felicitation, indeed.
Nor will the country fall to award
Hr. Hunter, whose bold and energetic
espousal of the Conference Bill, to
which the South was somewhat dispos
ed to be adverse at first blush, and to
which it was induced to rally in a great
degree by its confidence in, and getoorn
for, that trusted and influential Sena
tor, a large share of the merit of the
consummation that has now boon
reached.
With a united Southern Democracy,
a united Northern Democracy, aid
select North western Democracy of tried
ard approved principles and fide ity,
who will doubt the continued and en
during ascendency of that party and
its principles in the councils of the con
federation? All honor to the noble and
devoted men who, at the cost of sacri
fices of opinion, and in the spirit of un
selfish devotion to the common cause,
have stepped forth in this twirls to save
our Democratic orgalierm, and to
preserve it through a stinger indefi
nite period in vigor and integrity, for
upholding the Constitution and main
taining the Union !
The Kum Question Decided.
The long agony is over, and the Kan
sas bill has passed and become a law.—
The great principle of President BUCH
ANAN'a Administration has triumphed.
All he contended for was the ascenden
cy of the people of Kansan in deciding
on the form of a Constitution for the
ineohat.e State, in a republican form, as ready been sent to Kansas by the Re
required by the Constitution of the publicans, to prevent the acceptance of

disposed to keep a dangerous ganation
open, for Presidential
strife, tjtrough
&nether Presidential eleetioe. He,
thesifore,Wisely Mom mon‘d 'all early

gat, presented, II the people of the
Territory, in fair Convention. Could
anything be more honorable, fair and
statesmanlike? After all the factious
and sectional opposition, the Constitu
tion of the people's 'delegates has been
adopted by both Hoeft*.
After all the controversy, this will
answer the aims of the 'President. If
the people of Kansas sanction it, so
much the better, for there is an end to
the perplexingquestion. If they should
not ratify it, the President has still dis
charged his duty to •the Union, in set
tling a dangeroirs question. With his
patriotic recommendation, his mission
as President was fulfilled, and Congress
had the sole responsibility of rejecting
the peace-offering. But Congress has
sanctioned it, and the real, matter-of fact
wishes of President BUCHANAN Will be
carried out.
We may now assume, that this na• '
tional feud is ended, so fur at least as
the Administration is concerned. The,
subject is now taken out of Congress.—
It. belongs now to the people of Kansas.
If they chose to keep up a perpetual;
feud, and fight it out, among them
selves, to the extent of civil warfare ;
and fraternal blood, they must do it on
their own Territorial responsibility.—
The course of the President has been
etraight-forward, frank, patriotic, man
ly and upright. He can place his hand
on his heart, before the whole Ameri
con people, and say, emphatically, "I
have done my whole duty faithflilly,
come what may." He has dune his
whole duty, and tks rest depends on
the common sense of the people of the
Territory. If they chose to discard
local factions, distant emigrant aid
societies, home filibusters, Abolition as
pirants to the Senate and house, travel
ling and other aspirants to the Presi
dency, and accept a favorable opportu
nity to enter the Union, as a sovereign
State, they can now fulfill theirpurpese
with honor, and a prospect of future
' prosperity. On the other hand, if they
wish to dash their fair p&spects, and
remain as a meagre Territory, at the
mercy of factious and unprincipled
j politicians, they have the power so to
decide. But so Ow as it depends on
the action of the Administration, the
troublesome question is ended and the
Union is safe.
The only faction that is disappointed
at this result are the Abolitionists and
their allies. They have opposed the
settlement from the start. They wish
ed to keep the question open for perpet
ual discord. Meanwhile, all the inter
ests of commerce, of agneulture, of the
mines, of the mechanical arts, of ship
and of the planting States,
have been deferred, by these agitators,
to the factious aspirations of political
adventurers for office, from the Presi
dency downwards. With the settle
ment of this question, we may expect
to take a now start in national peace,
tranquility, prosperity and happiness.—

Letter from - Washisglion.
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1658.
Dear Compiler:—The Kansas strug
gle being at an. end, Congress has set
itself to work to attend to the legiti
mate wants of the country, and the
strong probability now is that all thu
needed bit* wlll be got through before
the day fixed Sbr final adjournment.
Tho billlor the admission of Minne
sota has airea4y passed the Senate, and
will pass the House soon. Oregon is
also knocking at the door, and will
probably be taken in this session.
The Deficiency bill has become a law,
and progress fortcard is being made
with the Appropriation bills.
The passage of the bill fur the ad
mission of Kansas caused great elation
of fooling on the part of the Democrats,
and a corresponding depression with
the Opposition ur Coalition. A salute
of ono hundred guns was fired immedi•
ately after the passage of the bill, and
from that time until Saturday night
the rejoicing was continued.
It was rather a singular coincidence
that each House passed the bill by sine
majority, and that was exactly the ma
jority by which the House passed the
Kansas Nebraska act.
It is said that emissaries have al-

The eigetion hirlifsgrar and other
city officers of Phltedelplia wasbeld on
Tuesday last, and remitted, as expect.
ed, in the slimes of the Know Nothing
Black Republican " fusion" candidates.
Their majorities range from 2,800 to
4,700. We say this result was antici- '
pated, because it was known that May
or Tsar, nominated for re-election on ,
the Democratic ticket, would be oppos-1
ed by a solid union of the Know Noth
ings and Black Republicans, and by
hundreds of disappointed office hunters,
and their immediate friends. The event
has realized the expectation.
Mr. Henry, the Opposition candi
date for Mayor, and an out-and-oat
Know Nothing, was first nominated ,
by a gathering of Know Nothings with
a sprinkling of Black Republicans ; as
the people's candidate:" then the
Know Nothing city convention adopt
ed him as their candidate, and"' few
days after the Black Republicans did
the same. Thus cordially chosen by
all the isins, and as cordially supported
at the polls by them and the disap
pointed in the Democratic ranks, the
election of Henry is not a matter of
lastonishment. It adds another proof
to the position, however, that to be a
Black RepubliCan or a Know Nothing
is about one aa4 the same thing. Deny
it as they sometimes will, they are
with and for each other—with interests
and aims exactly sae.
Speaking of the causes which operat
on the election, the Pennsylvanian
knocks the props from under thow3 of
the mongrel Opposition who exult over
the result as an entiLeeempton tri
umph, thus :
"As to . the statement put forth by
the Coalition that tbo result of the re
cent Municipal election was a rebuke
of the Maio* Administration on ac
count of its Kansas policy, that is sim
ply ridiculous. That was an element
which did not enter into the contest.
It influenced or altered no man's vote
at the polls. The question was not dm
cussed, nor were the people agitated up
on the subject, in connection with the
Municipal election. The Democracy of
Philadelphia have over ind over again
put upon record their devotion to the
principles upon which the Kansas-Le
comptenntroversy rests. They led

did so vote. lybat Treii died party son

will not he denied. Again, it will he oh
served that tholeading Journals of the
coalition are found to confess that the
contest was merely confined to "local is
sues," that Lecompton wasonly used by
die Icadirs of the Black Repu blicans in
order to prick the silos of tbei r followers
and make,them work tip to the task as
! signed them, while at the seine dine the
question was ignored by the fuglemen
of the straight Americans, a large por
tion of *hem are hostile to the Aboli •
tionists And their negro-equalizing doc

entirely set at rest the silly assertions
that thefiefeet of the municipal ticket
is an indication that the Democratic
perty or the people of this City art op
posed to the Kunsasipolief of Mr. Bu
chanan.
"If the opposition wish a fight up
on. the .Tianals-Leemnpton policy of
the President, if they ask that this
question, which is now settled, shall he
dragged before the people ever more,
they eatnle gratified at the proper time,
whoa the qualm') will legitimately a
rise. lint just now we wish to watch
the plunderers whom they have placed
iii a position where ,heir fingers can
each the City treasury. The coalition
journals may talk of Locompton as the
jeggier does while the real article is
being removed and a bogus one substi
tuted, ball these candidates cannot thus
escape from the strict watch which will
be kept over them. The people will
not be robbed without letting the plun
derers know they are observed."
The York, Borough Election.
The election held in this place on
Saturday last, for Borough officers and
School Directors, was one of the most
spirited contests that, was over held in
our town, and resulted in the success
of the opposition candidate by a major
ity of 81. The Democratic candidates
for School Directors in the South Ward
were, elected. The vote polled reached
' nearly fo . orteen hundred. The BLACK
REPUBLICAN and KNOW NOTH
ING forces were thoroughly united in
this contest, and resorted to every ex
pedient, to regain the ascendancy of the
town gov.irninent. Rowdyism, drunk
enness and bloodshed, reigned triumph
ant, throughout the day, and an awful
retribution awaits those who have been
instrumental in bringing about such a
disgraceful state of affairs. If we aro
permited to judge from the spirit that
was predominant on this occasion, we
are inclined to think that our daily
union prayer meetings and the late re
vivals of reli , sion in our town, have had
very little influence over the murals of
a large portion of our citizens.
In the evening, about 9 o'clock, a ter
rible riot occurred in main street, be
tween the Market house and the bridge,
between some of the members of the
Vigilant' and Laurel Fire Companies,
in which two or three persona wore
wounded by shots from a pistol or mus
ket. A gentleman standing - on the in
side of tho door, in the "Tremont
llouse," was struck on the back of the
head with a ball fired from a pistol,
making a rather frightful bat not a
mortal wound. Another person, we
are told, had a portion of his ear shot
off, in the street. A number of other
persons were somewhat injured in the,
melee. 'ilidlet bolos and other marktrof

time generally. Among these mho
made speeches, *era the president, and
R. H. Bererros, of Kentucky. Mr.
Foorr. related an interesting incident es
follows: .
I shall never forget a seems whilst!' as
tarred in the, city elf Annapaikka a
Maryland, daring the summer-of 185 Q.
Mr. Clay bad become 'greatly extutust
ed with the severe labors through
which he had been passing; those la
bors, a continuation of which was so
soon-afterwards to terminate his valua
ble life. An old and valued schoolmate
of my own, Senator Pratt . , of Maryland,
invited Mr. Clay and a few others of his
friends to spend a day or two at his
hospitable mansion. Mr. Clay accept
ed the invitation, and proceeded t 6 An
napolis, attended by several gentlemen
quite well known to the country. Mr.
Dickinson, of Now York, was among
the invited guests. Mr. Bright, of In
diana, and Mr. Dawson. of Georgia,
whom you all know so well, and valued
so highly. I had the honor of being in
the company also. The day after we
got to Senator Pratt's, it was proposed
that we should take a short walk
through the city, and visit that ancient,
time-honored building, within the pre
cincts of which the Revolutionary Con
gress hold its sessions at the close of the
War of Independence.
We wont thither accordingly, and
entered the venerated room where
Washington performed one of the moat
striking acts of his life. I allude tont°
surrender of his sword to the Continen
tal Congress. When Mr. Clay entered
the hall ho inquired for the spot where
Washington stood when this scene was
enacted. It was pointed out to him.
He stepped forward and occupied it
for a moment, gazing solemnly and
earnestly around the room, which is
precisely in the condition it was when
o",cupied by Congress. A crowd of
citizens gathered about him. I never
saw him when his appearance and bear
ing were altogether so majestic and im
posing. Ile seemed really to be for the
moment the grand personage upon
whose glories his mind was meditating.
The multitude assembled demanded to
hear his august voice. Ile addressed
them.—The speech was short but im
pressive beyond any oratorical effort I
have'ev4if witnessed. Ito took a rapid
view of the condition of the country;
the co 04106 eitisting, the dangeouf
the lour; (bents necessary to
to be resorted to In order to rrocue the
Republic fmtu destruction. He espe
eially enlarged upon the danger of show
ing too mach respect at such a moment
to party and its behests ; closing with
the memorable declaration —" 7 hat pm.-
ty shall in future be my party which shall
prove mot :faithful to the Union."
Ehtmeer's Health.
Every' now and then we find a touch
-44g paragraph in sumo Black Republi
can newspaper concerning the condition
of Senator Sumner's health. Tim lan
that has fallen under our nohow is the
following from the Wapiliington eons,-
pond( nt of the Boston Traveller.
" Don't be alarmed by the report in
regard to 31 r SUMTIer now afloat in the
papers. He has been slightly indispos
ed, but is about as well now as when ho
reached here two weeks since. On last
Wednesday, while in the Congressional
Library, ho was. notified that. the Sen
ate was about voting on the admission
of Minnesota, when he walked rather
fast from the Library to the Senate,
reaching his seat in time to vote. Tim
next morning he was very lame, anti
very mach exhausted. The sudden ef
fort and the excitement was too much
for him, and he fit pain for several
days in his back, and a slight praiser°
on his brain."
We concur with the Richmond nig
in the oppinion that the talc will hardly
boar telling. It is not more than thirty
or forty steps from the Congressional
Library to the Senate Chamber; and
yet, because the martyred Senator
" walked rather fast from the Library
to the Senate," he be nine "very lama
and very much exhausted " and " fols
pain for several days in his bark, and
a slight pressure on his bruin." Is
not thi4 funny to tell of a man whohas
lately traveled all over the European
Continent, and who is now continually
walking the streets of Washington at
ter the harried manner of a genaine
Yankee ? Really, the "pressure" game
of the notorious Sumner has been pm.
ticod long enough. As tho New York
Policeman told Mrs. Cunningham kith*
bogus baby affiiir, the "game is about
played oat." Do let us have a Champ
of programme.
eiier-The Bill passed by the Legisla
ture at its late session for the regula
tion of the Militia and encouragement
of Volunteers, is aa " long u the moral
law." It occupies forty.eoven pages of
printed matter, and would take up ten
or twelve columns of this paper. Un
der its provisions the militia enrollment
is entirely dispensed with, and all vol
unteer companies parading, are allowed
for every person one doihtr and OW
cents per diem. In addition to this, the.
commanding officer of a regiment may ,
order the companies composing it out
for an encampment parade, not exceed-.
ing six days once during each yeiir.
This is intended as an indacznent to.
young men, with military aver, aim
cannot well afford to lose the time he:
the indulgence of it,. It will **the
soldiers, and go far to increase the M(ll
itary spirit throughout the State.
