OILGANIZA7'ION Or CONGItESS.
Although the Administration is in a
meagre minOrity in the House of Reprt
sentatives, the opposition may yet fail t
elect a speaker if party intolerance or sect
lonal feeling is allowed to sway the course
of the Anti-Administration Representa
tives. The Administration'wire-workers
will strive to create discord and division
in the opposition ranks, but we trust
will not be allowed to succeed.
The Chainbersburg Wig truly re
marks upon this subject, that as the or
ganization of the House will give a tone.
character and direction to the political
campaign of 1856, its importance can
scarcely be over-estimated. If the oppo
sition cannot unite in electing a Speaker,
we fear they will be unable to do so for
the purpose , of electing a President; and
they can only do it by acting like wise,
liberal, discreet, practical men—as our
forefathers did in 1776, and from thence
down to 1789, when they formed the
Constitution of the United States. In
this Matter they must, "know no North,"
"no South," "no East," "no West ;"
nothing but the country, the whole coin.
try, and the country as a whole. Let no
issues be got up before the House is or
ganized, to create ill-feeling and disunion.
The Administaation will endeavor to sow
tares among their oppnents ; let them be
frustrated." •
NEW YORE ELECTION
The official returns of fifty-one eoun°ties•
(leaving only seven to be heard from)
shows the following vote for the several
leading candidates on th 6 State ticket:
Headley, American,
King, Republican,
Hatch, Soft,
Ward, Hard,
The remaining counties it is, said
increase lleadly's plurality to nearly 20,1
000. This is truly a signal triumph for
thenierican party. The whole result
is an extraordinary one as showing the
unpopularity of the National Adminis- 1
tration in New York. The Empire State
it will be remembered went for Jjerce by
a decided majority in the last Presiden
tial election. Now, as the American and
Republican parties are both opposed' to
the National Administration we have on
ly to put their combined vote against the
combined vote of the Bards and Soils,
to show how tremendous is the popular
condemnation of Franklin Pierce. The
figures show the enormous opposition
majority of 129,784 ! Another singular
fact is that while the Herd section of the
party is bitterly opposed to the National
Administration, the Soils, trho are nomi
tialily its friends, were denounced by the
Washington Union as unsound in the
democratic faith ! So that the Adminis
tration kliteraly without a party in New
York, •
WISCONSIN ELECTION
The Wisconsin election result is still a
matter of doubt though the probability is
that the Republicans have been success
ful for Governor: According to the Mill
waukie Sentinel the Senate stands four
teen Republicans to eleven Democrats,
and the Assembly thirty-six Democrats
to thirty-four Republicans, with twelve
districts still to be heard from. The
Sentinel adds, there is, no doubt, a small
Democratie majority in the Assembly.
The same paper gives Bashford, Repub
lican, 1044 majority over Barstow, Dem
ocrat, with the extreme b'order counties
of the &Ate to hear from, which can
hardly overcame this majority.
END OP THE WAR PANIC.
The Washington Union .of Saturday
puts an end to the war panic by what
may be regarded as an official announce
ment from the' Administration. The
Union says that the despatches received
by the Pacific give the assurance to our
government that the proposed British nit,
val 'expedition has no reference to Cen
tral American affairs, nor in any respect
a purpose unfriendly to this country-
The Union also states that there is noth
ing whatever in the diplomatic relations
between Great, Britain and the United
States which occasion a moment's
solicitude on this sisde--15f the water. The
Central American question is to be sure
a subject of difference and earnest dis
cussion, but will be settled by negotiation.
In both countries the popular desire is
undOubtedly for continued peace.' The
ion also positively denies the assertion
of the London Times that Mr. Buchanan.
our Minister, had given the British gov
ernment assurances of our sympathy and
willingness to aid the Allies in the. war
with Russia. Upon receiving the above
assitrances our governuat decided upon
sending Com. Pauidine'lto_ Nicaragua
with bet one ship. the Potomac, and in
charge only of the general concerns of the
U. S. in that quarter.
THE ENGLISH WAR PANIC.
The foreign news by the steamer Pa
cific, shows that the London Tim'ea has
raised quite an excitement by its gascon
ade against this euuntry,• and deVelopes
the fact, that the British people are not .
disposed to war with this coulMy. One
thing must be borne in mind by the citi
zens of each country, says the Philadel
phia Sun. which is, that their respective
governments have their own reasons for
directing public attention from internal
affairs to fancied exterior difficulties.
The administration of General PlEncE
has lost all prestige and nothing can awa
ken'-a feeling in its fa6runless the na
tional sentiment is aroused at some sup
posed indignity from Great Britain. A
war fever hero would avert attention front
the Kansas question and help to recon
struct the broken down Democratic party.
We must therefore regard with great sus
picion all belligerent movements of the
administration and its organs. We have
not the least fear of difficulty with Eng
land; there is nothing to quarrel about,
and the prtss is degrading itself when it
attempts to disturb the pacific relations
of the two countries.

DALLAS NW liA BM' I N ELIGIBLE.-
The birth George N. Dallas seems, like
i ,
that of many) other great men, to be in
volved in some obscurity. A writer in
tire N. I: Tribune suggests that he can
not
constitutionally be a candidate for
Presidont because he was born out of the
United States. He says his father,
Alex. J. Dallas, was a native of London
derry, Ireland, who, at nineteen years
of age migrated to Scotland, there mar
ried and started forthwith to the West
Indies, where George was born. Il is
father, nine months after, moved to' the
United States. The correspondent,of the
Tribune is doubtless mistaken. His bio
grapher states that he was born on the
10th of July, 1702, in the city of
Philadelphia. The latter statement is
probably correct. It were a pity to
pia so"inidden an end to the brilliant
schemes of his friends for a small differ
ence of nine months or so, and the dis
tance between the United States and the
West Indies.
TIIE LATE ELECTIONS.—Later AO
counts from Louisiana go to show that
the State has gone Locofooo by a small
majority. Mississippi ditto. , In Massa
chusetts, New York and Maryland the
American party has swept the board,
achieving in each of these States a glo .
rious triumph.

In order to unite the American party
North and South on the Presidential
question, such combinations as Fillmore,
of N..Y. for President, and Kenneth Ray.;

talked of. Another combination is, Go ) c-
Gardiner, of Mass. for President, and
Garret Davis, of Ky. for Vice President-

MEETI NO OF CONGRESS.--The first
session of tho 34th Congress will corn
tnonce at Washington on the 3d of De
cember, a little less than two weeks from
this. Already a number' of members
have reached the national capital. An
interesting and exciting session is antici
pated.
Itel„. lion J. J. Crittenden, of Ky.
arrived in Philadelphia on Monday. In
the evening his political friends assem
bled in huge numbers at the 6irard

performance of several national airs by

duced to the crowd by Moor Conrad.
and delivered a brief speech in which he
announced that he had adbpted the prin

OPEN ORDER.—The American State
Council of New Hampshire, at a meeting
held last week, wisely resolved,- "that in
the judgment of this Council all cere
monies of initiation into the American
party, and all obligations, except such
regulations as the Council 'or clubs in
their respective towns shall think proper
to adopt for their own government, be
discontinued and removed."

TILE FIRST RAILitoAD IN lOWA.
The Mississippi and Missouri Railroad is
to be opened to the city of Muscatine,
lowa, on the 20th inst. and we were hon
ored by some unknown friend with a
formal invitation. to be present. Un
fortunately we were not able to avail
ourself of it.
NORTHERN 'CENTRAL itAILROAD.--We' have
already stated that the letting of this road be
tween Sunbury and fiarrisburg, which *as to
have taken pbMe ou the 15th jt_2t., has been
postponed. The causes which led to this post
ponement attributed by the Sunbury Atneri
can to the sudden revulsion in the money mar,
het about two . weeks since. T,lte-cOmpauy in
New York wheThad contracted to finish and
stock the road bad agreed to' take the bonds
of the railroad company in payment. The
sudden depression of all kinds of stook, it is
supposed, was -,the onuses Of this asupension,
which, it is hoped, will only produce a tempo. :
rary delay.
LIGHT Wctaur.--t-The Philadelphia Ledger
occasionally raps the retail coal dealers of that
city over the knuckles, for their maintaining
the ton of 2000 pounds instead of the legal
United States standard ;on of 2240 lbs. As
these retailers receitiefive per cent. in addition
to the regular ton of 2240 lbs., (most of which
is saved to them e although intended is au al
lowance for depreciation in transportation,) it
is no more than proper that they should alio
sell by that weight. At all events, it is incon
sistent for theta to require 2240 pounds to
the ton, when they themselves give but 2000
his.
Two Pnasinswat:=---Thit Cincinnati Gazette,
in an article upon the subject of "the Presi
dency," replying to the National Era, remarks,
that "without the aid of the American party,
Ohio could not have been, and cannot be, car•

Ohio and Indiana, than the Republican party.'

'Course of Lectures is to be resumed this

JOHN NICCLINTOCK, •on Thanksgiving Evening.
His subject is •Impressions of Europe," and
the lecture we presume will be a continuation
of ljtnt delivered last winter on the sonic sub•

peal from us to induct° them to attend on the
present occasion. It will undoubtedly be a
rich treat.
=II
nyEIMBER CotinT.—But few eases
were tried in the Court of Quarter Sessions
test week, and those of no great interest or
importance, though they afforded sufficient
illustration of deprarad human nature.
The first case unfolded a theft somewhat
after the " chloroform game," by which Mr.
Harlan of the upper part of the county was
relieved - of ti gold watch end a small amount
-of money. Mr. Harlan was in town in Oc
tober last, and while in one of our public hou
ses was speaking of the suffering he was then
enduring from the kick of a horse sometime
before. Cornit, the defendant, and
who was a soldier then stationed at the Bar
eacks,'Acas standing by, and being a Doctor,
as he assured Mr. Harlin, very kindly offered
to effect a cure. Ills prescription was, "
dy internally" and "cabbage learn external :
ly." The first item of the prescription it
seems was promptly imbibed and the patient
soon enjoyed a refreshing sleep. On awaking
he found himself relieved—of his gold watch
and money The pretended Doctor was ar
rested and held'over for trial. The -evidence
was clear and he was convicted akffsentenced
to one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Park...was indicted and - plead guilty
to an assault on William Brown. The Court
after having the ease sentenced him to pay a
tine of $5 and costs. Margaret Moore, a
colored girl, presented herself in Court with a
ittle "Japhet in search of a father," whose
paternity she was ansious to fasten on a likely
young colored beau named Isaac Furman.—
Isaac however would not own "the soft im
peachment." It was shown that he bad paid
the lady'some polite attentions, such as seeing
her safely home from an evening meeting,
but he hod not been quite so attentive as the
accusation in this suit implied. The jury
,sustained 'lsaac's averment of not guilty, but
mode him pay the costs of prosecution. Ned
Ginn, a colored individual, was convicted of
stealing iron and sentenced to six months im
prisonment in the county jail. A case of
fighting and disturbance between Eli Butler
and Abe Bell. both notorious colored charnc
•ters, was next tried. Bell bad, Eli indicted,
but the latter was acquitted and Bell made
to pay the costs. Several biitsi were ignored
by the grand jury, and in several other in
' dictments the defendants had not been arrest
ed and could not be tried.
Two cases on the civil list were tried. The
first that of Wm. 11. Irvine and wife vs. Crab
mine Sibbet, an notion of ejectment for a
tract of land in Southampton township. Ver
dict in favor of defendant. The next that of
Caroline Bloser vs. Mathew D. Leckey—an
action for breach of promise of marriage.—
This case was tried two years since and a
verdict rendered for plantitl of $5OO. It was
then taken to the Supreme Court on a writ
of error, and the judgment reversed. It was
again tried last week. A large number of
'witnesses were examined and the trial occu
pied nearly three days. Verdict rendered
for the platitiff of $l5OO. Messrs. Watts and
Miller for plantiff—llepburn and Williamson
for defendant.
TIIANKBGIVINO DAY.—TIIO MistOm
of appropriating ono day jit the year to evinc
ing our gratitude to God for his ma n if o ld
goodness and mercy. bas always seemed to us
to bo a. peculiarly beautiful one, and eminently
adapted to touch the heart of every ono whose
heart is at all susceptible of gratitude. And
even if it were not a regular annuariustom,
it appears to us that the unusual blessings and
bounties of the past year call aloud for such
an expression of thankfulness. We aro too
apt to forget that all that we have Is owing
to the munificence of a' kind Providence. 'We
are too apt to forgot our own dependence, and
we are glad that we are now reminded of our
obligations and our duty in view of snob ob
ligations. Tho year is pre-eminently one of
abundance. Plenty and prosperity abound on
every side, and thanksgiving and praise to
the t' giver of all good" should 611 our hearts.
The day has heretofore been observed with
great propriety in our community, and the
same spirit we cannot doubt will mark its ob
servance this year. The arrangements for
services in the various churches are noticed in
another articie.
RF.TUItN of THE DRAGOONS.--We
are gladto learn, as we do. - from the most re
liable source, that 'the War Department has
concluded to remove the U. S. °avail.). Depot
back to Carlisle Barracks. The command has
been assigned to Col. CIIATUSS A. NIAY, who
will probably arrive here about the 15th of
December. The, garrison buildings having
been thoroughly refitted within the last year
at considerable cost to the government, and
the port being one of the most healthy and
economical in• the country, the department
acts wisely in having it again occupied. The
gallant Col, will be warmly we -corned by his
friends.
COSMOPOLITAN ART ASSoCTATION.—
We invite the attention of our renders to the
advertisement of this-association, which we
publish in our advertising columns. The
ticket to which each subscriber is entitled will
give him a chance in the distribution of works
of art, which is to take place on the :3lst of
January neat; so that, besides receiving the
full value of his subscription in one of the 3la
gaziues mentioned, be may also receive a
work of , art of great value. If the plan is
fairly curried - out, and we have no doubt - it
will be, we cannot think of any better small
investment which those who have a taste for
literature and the fine arts can make. But
we refer them to the' advertisement, which
sufficiently explaiun itself, and conveys all the
itdormatioU which can he desired.
A INItt.D WINTER.----We hope, fur the
sake of the poor, that the prognostics may be
true. The Indians regard the thin husk ou
corn as an indication of,a mild winter. This
being the case, the one just approaching will
be of the gentle kind, as the husks are said to
be very thin.
An Exchange paper hopes that when
Toombs, of Georgia, goes up to Boston this
winter to deliver his lecture on Slavery, that
be will take a little pains to ascertain the
precise time when he can . " call the roll of his
