Wednesday Morning, January 21,1857,
THE REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH!
I Republican E. S. Senator Elected.
Buchanan & Forney "sot back."
James Buchanan has received a terrible
rebuke, his Sancho Panza, Forney, laid
out cold, and Rosinette,—Border Ruffian
Democracy—disowned and repudiated by
the Legislature of the Keystone State.—
Gen. Simon Cameron has obtained a mag
nificent victory over the combined powers
of darkness. All hail ! old land of Penn.
The two branches of the Pennsylvania
Legislature met in session on Tuesday,
the 13th inst., at 12 o'clock, for the pur
pose of electing a U. S. Senator, in the
room of the present incumbent. Richard
Brodhead, whose term expires in March
next, 67 votes were required to effect an
election, and the Border Ruffian Democra
cy counted confidently on the success of
their favorite candidate, John W Forney.
The result, however has sadly disappoint
ed theta and given the world another stri
king illustration of the filet, that
"The best laid plans of mice an men
Aft gang /ogle,"
Taggart, Republican Speaker of the Sen•
ate, presided over the deliberations of the
Convention. A motion to proceed to bal
lot for Senator was then made ; the roll
was called and the tenon was as follows :
Simon Cameron, Republican, 87
John W. Forney, Democrat, 58
Henry D. Foster, do. 7
Wm. IA Skins, do. 1
Gen. Simon Cameron having received a
majority of the whole vote cast was there
'fore declared duly elected U. S. Senator,
for a term of six years. Tremendous
shouts of applause from the assembled
crowd, followed the announcement. This
desirable and glorious result was orought
about by the honest and patriotic action of
lime Democrats: Messrs. Manear of York
All hcnor to these noble fellows who have
thus boldly avowed their disapprobation of
the corrupt course of modern Democracy.
It is a terrible shook to the lately exult.
ing Democracy, and has plunged them in•
to the very depths of humiliation, It will
be a sore blow to Forney, and a perfect
crusher to Buchanan, who actively interfe
red in behalf of Forney's election. 'l'he
first move of the president elect has resul
ted in a signal failure, which is probably
-.the precursor of a 'long line' s of followers.
If Mr. Buchanan is unable to manage the
democracy of Pennsylvania, what can he
do with that of the nation ?
We heartily rejoice over this result
During his former term in the Senate Oen.
Cameron proved himself an unwavering
friend of Pennsylvania interests, and in all
respects an efficient and faithful represen
tative. Having during the last Presiden
tial campaign taken decided ground' in fa.
vor of Ce! Fremont, he t. ill prove a val.
noble acquisition to the Republican ranks
lathe U. S. Senate. Republicanism is on
.the ascendent.
Doings in Congress.
We are beginfling to get an insight into
some of the astounding corruptions which
just now clog and give character to legis
lation in the present Congress. The pro
ceedings of Friday for example, disclose
the disgraceful fact, that one member of
the House of Representatives offered to
pay another member, Mr Paine. of Moth
Carolina, fifteen hundred dollars if he
would vote for the Minnesota Land Bill.—
This revelation came out, pending a reso
lution passed by Mr. Kelsey, of N. York
to appoint a special commitfee to investi
gate the truth of certain statements—edi•
lonia! and Washington correspondence—in
the New. York Times, charging bribery
and corruption against several members of
'Congress, lobby agents, &c. The move
ment brought up Mr. Paine, of N. C ,
who joined in urging the investigation, as
he knew that in the article referred to there
was "not a want of truth,"— in evidence
of which he volunteered the interesting
statement above named. Mr. Paine soya
he communicated the facts of the case to
Mr. Sneed, o‘ Tennessee, on the 23d ult.,
and that the latter advised brut to procure
the necessary evidence of the "corrupt"
member's guilt,—theu divulge it to the
House, and then "slap the scoundrel in the
face." Mr. Brenton, Chairman of the Pu-
blic Lands Committee, however, threw out
some broad hints that the Times' corres
pondent could not substantiate hie allega
tions,—but as the investigation was order
ed by acclamation, we may look for some
new light on this dark subjects.-soon.
lir Over eixty members have beep added
to the Lietliediwetetreh of this "hum, by tem
fate letrati.
The Republican Party.
The members of this glorious organiza
tion should not flag nor stop one moment,
in their efforts to secure the success of its
principles. The future is full of hope and
promise. We have only to stand squarely
upon our principles, with our arms in rest
and our eyes watching with sleepless vig
ilance, the developments of time, until 18-
60 shall roll around, when we shall be in
vincible. The slanders of Pierce and the
exploded dogmas of a corrupt press, will
by that time have passed into forgetfulness.
The principles of the Republican party
will be regarded by the great body of the
people both North and South as eminently
conservative. They will have overcome
the bigotry and narrow prejudices of dem
agogues, and find a firm lodgment in the
hearts of the masses, so that in the next
Presidential campaign the standard bearer
of Republicanisni will march over the field
crowned with an easy victory. Let Pierce
rail. Le! the hirelings of his party send
up their dismal howls. They never can
harm a just cause.
The materials of the Republican party
area guarantee of increase and perpetuity.
We have three-fourths of the native pop•
ulation, and we shall have the mass of the
Protestant, liberty-loving Germans, and a
majority of all other citizens of foreign
birth, except the Irish. The importance
of this classification of adopted voters will'
be made evident by a slight examination.
It is only within the last six years that the
German element has become a leading one
in our immigration tables. Its vote is just
beginning to tell. Up to 1853 the Irish
immigrants out numbered all others. But
Ireland is nearly emptied of its surplus
population, and that principality has ceas
ed to supply us with more then a just pro.
portion of her people. To compensate,
however, for this falling off, the educated,
reading, thoughtful, provident Germans,
are corning by thousands. While five•
sixths of the Irish are naturalized to vote
the regular democratic ticket in a body,
the German vote is corning in. and will
next year and afterwards constitute the
most powerful and steadfast ally which our
free institutions have ever received from
abroad. The cool, obstinate, and discipli
ned valor, and the untiring energies of the
Puritan and the German races may yet be
required to vindicate the liberties and inde
pendence of the Free States of the Union.
A day lv dawning when Freedom will be
secure in her chosen seats.
As the Republican and American papers
throughout the State are beginning to can.
vass the question or the next Governor,
and presenting their favorite candidates,
we will take the privilege of suggesting
our choice of the Republican candidate.—
That choice is S. Steel Blair. Esq., of Blair
county, a man who has earned for himself
a reputation for legal learning, honesty of
purpose and firm and unbending integrity
which few in the Commonwealth have our.
passed. He is a thorough American Re.
publican, sound on the sentiinents and
principles of the party. He holds the sa
cred principles embodied in the Philadel
phia plrtform, as his creed, and will guide
the old Commonwealth by that chart
We name Mr Blair in connection with
this office upon our own responsibility, ha.
ving no authority from the gentleman him-
self or any of his personal friends.
The Tariff Bill.
Mr. Leteher of Virginia, reported a Tariff
bill in the House on the 21st inst., which pro.
poses a uniform reduction of 20 per cent, on
the duties levied by the Tariff of 1846. Al.
so, the transfer o I manufacture or silks to the
schedule now paying 30 per cent; manufac•
tures of flax, and blankets of all kinds, to the
schedule now paying 25 per cent ; manufactu•
red wool to the 10 per cent, schedule, and the
raw silks, most of the crude dyestuffs, unmanu•
factored vegetable dyestuffs, dyewood, tow,
seeds, animals, &e., 1p the free list.
Insurrections.
The Southern papers come to us full of plots
treasons, stratagems and blood. In Mississippi,
Alabama, Florida, Maryland. Virginia and
Kentucky, "plots have been discovered." Some
negro, whose testimony cannot be taken in
any case concerning a white man, is brought
up, questioned, whipped, frightened and then
discloses a terrible plot for an outbreak. Some
of the accused are taken and whipped to death.
One received 720 lashes. A dispatch front
Louisville says an affirmative vote passed in
the crowd in relation to the negroes of the
Joyce family, that they should be burned, but
the determination was not carried out. The
Ness Orleans Crescent of the 21st ult., says that
"at Jackson. Mies.. 27 negroes have been ar•
rested. Excitement intense; the particulars
of it, hard to obtain ; and although universal,
its origin and foundation are very difficult to
ascertain." Fear is not only cruel, but suapi•
pious.

of the State banks was received.. Jo the Sen•
ate, Mr. Wright presented a protest against
the election of Simon Cameron as C. S. Sen.
ator, signed by fourteen Democrats. The rea•
sons assigned in it are that Cameron did not
receive a concurrent majority of each house
and that the Senate did not comply with the
provisions of the election law requiting the
appointment of the teller, and the making of
imminetione itt least one day before the meet

and having made arrangements to go to Europe
in the fall of 1857 to engage in the same busi
ness, I am willing to give full instructions in the
ort to any person in the United States or Cana
die, who will remit me the stun of $l. low
induced, from the success I have been favored
'with, and the many thankful acknowledgements

engage in this !iftiness, which is easy, pleasant,
and very profitable, at a small coat. There is
