atrit THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1866 FOR GOVERNOR, =ZMEEZ2I OF BERKB COUNTY-. EXCITING FOREIGN NEWS. r-- The last - steamer 'from Europe_brought us • tidings of a very ithportini anyi exci ting nature. The British Isles have been convulsed with a financial panic almost unparaleiled in modern history, and ex tending into every part of the--Kingdom. T ,, e panic culminated late on Thursday afternoon, the 10th; in the suspension of tftverend, Gurney tc-Co., one of the hen• viest and regarded as one of the soundest houses in London. The liabilittes are stated at tram ten to twelve millions of pounds sterling. The beak-down is attributed to heavy speculative sales of shares, which forced them dowp from ten premium to a dis coneq. Depositors then, began to get akrmed, and the drain on the 101 h was very severe. Application for assistance was made at the Bank of England, but the governors declined to grant any, on the ground that it would be vain in a crisis like the present, to assist one estab lishmont unless they were prepared to help other applications as well. On the . 16th instant the Bank of England raised the rate of discount from eight to nine per cent, and charged for special advances as , high as 10. The pressure, even at these terms, - was enormous ; and it was only on Unexceptionable bills that an ac commodation could be obtained. Mean while, 'additional and moat, serious disas tera- ware hourly announced. The first was that of a comparatively small hank= the English joint - Stock—for. £BOO,OOO 'sterling. Then came that of Peto & Betts, of which Sir Morton Peto, chief financial agent of the A. Jic G. W. R. R , is head, for £4,000,000 sterling ; then that of W. Sbrimpton, railway contractor . , for £200,- UflO ; and firm after firm toppled over in na astonishingly rapid manner. In every city and town of the kingdom the moat intense - excitement prevailed, and it was U•ared that the crash would become gene ral. The immediate occasion of all this Iran• tic fluttering is the brief speech made by the Emperor Napoleon to the inhabitants of the little town of Auxerre. The part of that speech which has operated. like an electric touch on the nerves' of Europe, is .his statement that he " detested those reatiesof 1815, which it is now sought to make the sole basis of our foreign po licy." As this same sentiment had been uttered by. him before, without causing - such's commotion and panic, why should it_be regarded .as so startling now ? FOr this reason : that the declaration at Aux• erre is regarded•as the imperial response to the applauded speech of M. Thiers, delivered two or three days previously, in the Carps Legislatif. Thiers had set forth in strong colors, the complicity ofh the imperial government with the warga thering over Germany. Neither Prussia nor- taly, he contended, would have ven- tured hit° their threatening position had -they not felt assured of the countenance of France. The war to which the Empe ror has given his assent will lead to im portant changes in i the map of Europe, and consequently disturb and upset all the - territorial arrangements settled by the treaties of Vienna. It was in plain allusion to Thiers' recent speech, andlhe great outbursts of enthusiasm with which .t was greeted, that the Emperor ex , 'pressed his detestation of " those treaties of 1815 which it was noW sought to make the sole basis of our foreign policy." It was inevitable, under such circumstances, that the speech of the .Emperor at Aux,- erre, should have been' regarded "as the flbrilt tocsin of war. ft is not surprising that a declaration so significant and un expected should cause financial Europe to quake touts center. THE DEROCELITIO REVIVAL. The glorious results of the election in the West on the first_ Monday of April,. are being followed up by other triumphs still more marked. At the election in Quincy, Illinois, s on the 16th, the Demo. cratic majority was over 500—last year it wag; but 150. At an election for Council. .man,in the Fi ft h Ward of Indianapolis, tire Democratic candidate was elected by a majority of 270. At the previous elm tion, the Republican candidate was elec ted by a majority of 195—making a gain of 475 in favor of the President's policy. The ,bnef telegraphic announcement from Chicago that" at the election to-day ten Republicantland six Democratic aldermen were elected" was more significant than we . sup cued. Just before the election the Republican stated that—" Last t e ar the Union men elected fifteen out of the sixteen aldermen." This shows a gain of five aldermen for the Democracy. The DeMocrats of Fort Wayne, Indiana, car- ;tied their spring election by 700 majority • -the largest majority ever polled there. In the ' adjoining townships the Demo,- erotic gairs have been from 50 to 75. ;:pringfield, Illinois— Mr. Lincoln's old home—has gone Democratic by 30 majo rity—it gain of 200 since last election. The Democracy of Toledo,. Ohio, carried the late city election by .32 majority. Last year the Republican majority was 529—a Union gain of 854. . j _ The' municipal election in Scranton, Luzernd County; resulted in, a brilliant l'emocratic victory. - Last year tho Unionist's carried that borough by'. a majo- rity of about one hundred and fifty, and on Friday, Gregory, the Democratic can didate•:or Chief Burgess, - waiTfelected by nmajoriof of over five hundred and fifty, showing a gain for the Democracy in. twelve months a seven hundred votes ! In 'the North Ward a Democratic coun- ciiman was chosen for thejfirst time since the borough was established ; -and, on the I Whole, the Democracy generally had a -I right good time. (in the 24d instant an "plection was held in 'Wilkesbarre, the county seat of Lucerne. The town has always been opposition until this year. ,At the late election a democratic burgess was elected by 381 majority. The Demo crats carried New Haven, Con., by 1,50 6 majority. The Disunionists h ve got up a petition to the Legislature, king that the election of the Judge o Cie City Court, Jige of the Police urt, &c., °ball be en out pf the bands of the ople and tho Common Cannon, and That those officers be elected by the Legis- lature. 'This is following the New. York :hion I DAYINAND Taa l -Tho knowing ems at Washington no!. boldly charge that notwithstanding the clamor Wade, for papillar effect, by the radical leaders for the punishinent of Jefferson Davis, they are throwing every obstacle in the way of a trial before the civil courts. The hypocritical refusal of Mr. Chase to pr,_ide at the trial in Vir ginia, because martial law was dill in force, has already been exposed. The conscientious' Chief Justice has, 'since his elevation 'to the hutch, preilded over courts in Washington and Baltimore, whore martial law was enforced with the utmost rigor.. To prevent the trial of Mr. Davis, the Judicial"! Committee of the Senate have reported a bill, which bas passed that body, to change the place l and time of holding United States courts in - Virginia. It changes the place from Nor folk to Richmond, and provides . that the time for commencing court sessions shall he the first Mondays in May an Decem ber.. This would' postpone the trial at once from .June to December, and in the meantime the radicals hope that Mr. Davis will die in prison, as he is quite likely to do if his confinement iiprotrac ted that long. It is evident that nothing would confer more pleasure on the radi cals at this time;than the death of`Davis. Such an event would relieve them of a dilemma aid save their political capital. THE COLORADO BILL., For ones the Radicele have been utterly silenced•and confounded. The message of the President, returning to the Senate, with his objections, the bill erecting Colo rado into-a State,' so completely exposes the Ecluidalous character of this particu lar &idiot scheme for plapetuating pow er in their own party, that no _reply to it is found - possible. Iu the Senate the mes sage was put aside with deliberate inso lenco ; the Radical press prints it, and makes' no sign. But the future of this nefarious attempt -to foist a factitious Corrinionwealth upon the• Union for the. sake of getting three more Radical votes into Congress does not make the attempt itaell less nefarious, not ought it to be tuf-' fored to pass out of men's memories with• Out leaving there its lesson of the reckless and unprincipled temper of those who conceived it, carried ifs successfully through both Houses, and, but for the courage and-the patriotism of the Presi dent, would have consummated it by wel coming the representatives of a fabricated State to the halls from which they shame l:, sly exclude the constitutional delegates of eight millions of free-born Americans. Bad as it is, this latest assault of the Rad icals upon what they tikemselves denomi nate the "life of the nation." is no worse than scores of other acts done by'them in the past, tending all in - one-directiort. It has been defeated, happily for us all, by. the President; and we ask every honest man, who still hesitates between the pol icy of the President and that of the Pres-, ichnt's enemies in the Senate and the Home, to contrast this veto message of Andrew,,Johnson, boldly defending -prin ciples essential to our national existence. with the attitude of the men who have t)een crushed by that message into a si ience which is the most eloquent confes ,-ion'that could possibly be made of their conscious guilt in the transaction thus brought to nothing.—N. l Y, World. ' AN IpIPORMANI" CASH. An importhnt ease has just been deci ded in Wayne exanty, in this State. Pre vious to the October election of last year, the Radical papers announced that elec tier officers throughout the common wealth were bound to reject the votes of all persons who bad failed to respond to drafts during the war. ' tinder this state of 'circumstances, the District ,Attorney of Wayne county prepared an opinion in re sponse to questions propounded to him by Officers of the election, in which he net forth their duties as clearly defined by the law's of Pennsylvania, and gave due 'no tied Old all violations of said lav;would be prosecuted. This opinion and notice were forwarded to the several election dis tricts of the county. They failed, howev er/ to reach some 'of the more, remote 'townships, and in two of them the vots of alleged deserters wee rejected, and he Individuals thus deprived of their rights instituted suite against the offendik par ties: The case came up for determination during the present term of the Court, and Judge Barrett charged the jury in the moat 'emphatic and unmistakable lan gunge as to the law bearing upon the point at issue. Be pronounced the act of Congress disfranchising 'so called de sertersmull and void, and distinctly gate it as his opinion that the parties so, desig nated' were as much entitled to a vote as the judges and inspectors of elections themselves. This he declared to be' the law of the land in Wayne county until reversed by a superior Court, and as such he gave, notice that any, violations of it hereafter would be regarded as wilful mis demeanor and punished accordingly.— Phila. Age. The Washington correspondent of the Springfield Republican says that "So far as I can learn every member of the Cabi net professes to agree with the President in private and in open cabinet meeting, and unless I am badly informed, Mr. Harlan is not an exception. The Presi dent certainly tells bis friends so, and there are outside facts which seem to corroborate his allegation. In short, two or three members of the Cabinet are each trying to ride two, bones. • How long they will be able to _keep it up • without broken limbs ono is naturally anxious to see." The. position of Mr. Harlin has been ascertained since the correspondent wrote. He sent a letter to a Johnson meeting in Philadelphia last week, regretting his inability to be present, and endorsing the President's poidtion. The Cabinet is a utiit in sup ! port of Mr. Johnson's • reconstruction po licy. • This issue of the Observer closewthethirty-: sixth yearof ifs publication. It 'will gratify our friends to know that the paper is prosper ing better than in any previous year of its existence, and that before long we shall be able to make implovements which, will ni . ake it equal in size and appearance to. any in Pennsylvania. It Is a fact, asstated by a contemporary, that the Democratic party hail sprays sus tained every incumbent of the Presiden tial chair_who•bas defended the Constitu tion—and, the anti•Democrats' hive hear tily opposed all such. The only three Presidents-ever elected by the anti -demo crats were liarriaon, Taylor aldlLincoln. Each died in the Presidential office, and were succeeded by Vice. Presidents elected by the same party. In each case the anti democrats quarrelled with the Vice Pre sidents, because they would insist on be. ing guided by the Constitution—land they egcb, in turn, Ind to throw tberrselves fort support on the democratio party. These are significant historical focts.

The change, the Phila delphia Age says, in the political co' mplex ion of place is owing to the annexa tion of a large quantity of territory to the city-by the last Legislature. This was done for the purpose of breaking down the Democratic majority, and it,: succeed. "ed. In the old wards the Democrats gain ed instead of kiting votes. How It -Is Done. New Jailor bas often been denomtnated the. State of C tmden and Amboy," op account of the. overwhelming influence which the railroad corporation of that name iS supposed to have over her public councils. Oh the same principle, the Keystone Commonweblth might properly be dubbed the itState of the Penn sylvania Central," for it ie a nothrious fact that the company which bears the littter name controls legislationit klarrisburg aq comp'ete ly, if not more so, as the Camden and Amboy ever did at Trenton. Flor some years past, no railroad measure, and a may almhst be said no measure of any kind,) has been Eble to get th'e sanction of our State Legislature, unless it Aral received the potent endorsement of the ,President or Vice President of the Penneylva nia Central Company. Their enmity was sure to defeat it; their friendship was a cer— tain guarantee of its success. The; truth of these facts is so well known to all Men of ex— tensive acquaintance in political or commer cial life, that none will bo found to disPute them. It has often been a wonder to innocent people who are not weft acquainted with the m tuner of transacting business at our State Capital, and the class of men who compose what is sometimei derisively styled the " assembled wisdom of the Commonwealth," hoW a couple private citizens, mere officers of a railroad .corporation, could succeed in securing such ,an exalted influence as to be able td shape the entire legislation of a great people. The secret is pulls , lot out by a correspondent. of =therittsburgh Commercial, ° whose : statement., EgiTen below, will be found of unusual interest. "The Cot Scott referred to is Vice!President .of the Central Railroad Company; and was Assistant Secretary of War for a time, under Gen. Cameron : In 1865 Col. Scott had- to epend nearly a mouth in Harritkurg to accomplish what his read demandee - '.. But see the imprOvement in running the Legislative machine In the first week of January, 1866. one night at Harris burg sufficed to organize the committees as be desired them, and three visits of from twen ty-four to thirty-eix hours each were all that were required ti secure all that he demanded. And yet this monopoly secured everything in - the power of the last Legislature tb grant— the Anthracite and -Consumers' bill, with its branching powers, gridirening the eastern part of ' the State. Tho Philadelphia bill gridirons one hundred miles from the south east to the n:lrthwest; the Southern Penney' vania and Connellsville, with its hrauchet, covers'the entire southern portion of, the State, and the Centrarpart, with its .brattehes, covers the whole of middle Pennsylvania by 'the Trunk road. ' These grants and the defeat of the Ma honing and,Baltimore connections Will answer for one session. And yet so thoroughly is , the machinery organized that all this was accom plished without an expenditure oft over five days' personal, attendance of Coll Scott at Harrisburg. Oa Saturday of each Week he giais private audiences to each chief in command of his squad, inside and outside of the Legislature, at hie office on Third street; Philadelphia.— Half a dozen of daily train[{ afford 1 facilities in ease of need to send one-of his special aids to Philadelphia for orders. The mit - is al ways at band. and then the compitoy own a line of telegraph, which is always ,used in a ease of sudden emergency, to give its orders on the floor. Col. Scott, through these in strumentalities, _can at any time take the Odor ,of either or both Haulms, and dictate .ver legislation the monopoly demands. e need na longer alarm the' people of the State by being openly the opeineer in charge of the Legislative - train. The Sp§akers of both Rouses, the Chairman of all the impor taut committees—aye the mejority in both Houses—recognize a dispatch r)m him as sufficient to stop the train, run it Et one or sixty miles an hour, just as fully a; con ductor on any train on the road, or ;-ro man at any machine shop.

Under the existing Territorial government, all the rights, privileges and interests of thst citi zens are protected and secured. The I qualified voters',choose their own legisla tures and their own local officers, and are represented in Congress by a detente of their own selection; they make and exe cute •their own municipsl laws subject ' s only to revision' by Congress, au authority not likely to be' exercised unless in ex treme or extraordinary cases.

Such 'a population cannot but find relief from excessive taxation, if the Ter ritorial system which devolves the expen- , see of the Executive, Legislative and Jty dicial departments of the United States , is for the present continued. They cannot but find the - security of person and --pro perty increased by their reliance upon the National Executive power for ,the maintenance of 'law - and dicier against the disturbances necessarily incident to all organized- communities.

In this. seconst election 5,905 votes: were polled, and 7 smallenajority of 155 wasiven -in favor of a i State organization. { It does not seem to me entirely safe to permit this last nsentiened result, so irregularly ob tained, to' outweigh the one which bad been legally obtained in the first election. Regularity and conformity to law are es sential to the preservation of order and stable government, and should, as far as preaticable; always be observed in the for mation of new Stites. - ' Third—The admission of Colorado at this :time as a State into. the Union, ap .pears to me to be incompatible with the public interests of the country. Whilti it, Is desirable thatterritories when sufficient ly matureitehould be organized as States, yet the 'spirit of the Constitution seems to require that there should be an approxima • tion toward equality among the several States comp - rising the Union. No State can have leas or more than two Senators in Congreie. The largest State has a pop ulation of four, millions, severe' other states have' a population exceeding two millions, and many others have a popula tion exceeding one million. If this bill should become a law the people of Colo rado, thirty thousand in number, could have in tire Howie of Representatives one member, while New York. with a popula tion of four millions, has but 31. Colo. a do wriu'd have in the electoral college three vw era, while New York 'had only thirty three. Colorado wOld have in the Senate two votes, while 1,,r0w York has to more. Inequalities of this character have already occurred; but it is t.elieved none have happened where the inequality -was so great. Where such inequality has been allowed, Congress is supposed to have per mitted it on the grounds of some high public necessity and udder circumstances which promised that it would rapidly dis appear through the growth and develop ; ment.of the newly admitted State. Thug; in regard' to the, several States_ itix what was formerly called the northwest terrace ry, lying east of the Missouri, their rapid advance in population rendeted it certain that" states admitted with only one - or two' Representatives in Congress would in a very short period be entitled to a great in crease in; representation. ' So, when Cali fornia was admitted on the ground of commeciat and , political exigencies, it was we I foreseen Abet that slate was de. , - i i tined apidly to become a great, pi.osper ous *and important mining and commer cial community. In the case of Colorado, lam not aware that any.national exigen cy, either of a political or commercial na ture, requires a departure from the, kW of equality which tuts been so generally ad bored to in Our history. If the informs 1 lion submitted in connection with this i bill is. reliable, Coletadto, instead of in 'creasing, has declined in population. At an election for members of a Territorial Legielature, held in 1861, 10,580 %votes were cast. At the election before Men tioned in 1864, the number was 6192,, while, at the regular election held in 1865, Ischich is assumed fop a bans of legislative action rit,this time, the aggregate number of votes was 5 005. , Sincerely anxious for I the welfare and prosperity of every ,terri tory' and state. as well as for the prosperity nnd - welfare of the whale Union, I regret this - apparent decline of population in . Oolorado ; but it is manifest that it is due ft:emigration, which is,going on from that territory into other -regions—within the United States, which, either are in feet or, fire believed by the inhabitants' of polora do,to b, richer in mineral , wealth and ag• rioaltural resources. If, however, Colora do has not really declined io population, another census or another election under the authority of Congress, would place the question.beyond doubt, and cantle but lit tle delay in the ultimate reception of the territory as tt state, if desired by the peo ple. The tenor of these objections fur nishes the reply which- may be expected to an argument in frvor of the measure dcrive.i from the enabling act which wits passed by Congress on the slat day of Mooch, I 864; although- Congress then sup posed that the condition of the Teri-40y was suet as to warrant its admission as a state. The result-of two years Experience shows that every reason which existed for the institution of a territorial instead of a state government -in Colorado at its first organizrtion, still 'continues in force. The condition of the Union at the present mo ment is calculated to inspire caution in regard to the admission of new states Eleven of the old states .have ,been for some time and still remain unrepresented in Congress.' It is a common interest of all the states, as well those represented as those unrepresented, that the integrity end harmony of the Union should be re• sawed as crtnpletely as possible, sollit all those who'are expected to bear the bur dens of the Federal government shall be clnsulted concerningthe admission of now states, and .that in the meantime no new state shall be prematurely and unnecessa rily admitted to a participation in the po litical power which the Federal .govern moot wields not for the benefit of any in• dividual states or section, but for the cora nuin.saiety, welfare and happiness of the whole country.
