just such a covenant did our fathers enter

The same diligence ; in scattering tho

the same result in every county in the
State. So we exhort our friends in oth
er sections, to open the next campaign at
once. As semi as the people understand
what the Slave Power is doing,:they will
ftbaodon the party that sustains it . . To
the friends of Freedom in this county we
offer our congratulations on the glorious
work they have accomplished; 'and we
trust they will press forward, until every

shall be converted, or,—put t 9 Sham..
The Oci!Obey poetions.
The result of the election for. State of
fii.vrs has proved as we were led to sup
pose it would by the apathy evinced by
our friends throughout the State, during'
the entire campaign. But very little ef
fort was made, except by Judge Wilmot,
to secure any other result, and Border
Ruffianism has triumphed once more,—
Wm. F. Packer, together with the bal- 1
ance of the hunker State ticket, is elect- ,
ed by a majority ranging from 25,000 to!
80,000 votes. The defaet is not from
the want of strength in the Republican
party, bur from neglecting to exercise
that strength. Therefore the defeat is
not fatal nor very lasting. There -is- A
great plenty of the-Republican sentiment
in Pennsylvania, but time is required to
fix it upon the result of anelection.
The result of the election in Ohio, on ,
the same day, is still iO doubt, both par-I
ties claiming the victory, It is 'so close
however, that the official canvass alone
will determine it. We are much surpris
ed at this vote in Ohio,.in view of the
fact that the anti-slavery sentiment ofi
that State is generally presumed' o be in
vincible; therefore, with a positive free
Boiler as the standard-bearer of the Re-!
publicans, we regarded it as almost int
possible for a Hunker to make even a close I
run upon Gov. Chase. - But it is even so,
land the cause is to us a mystery.
I From lowa we have very few returns ; '
I )hut we are inclined to think the Shans-1
(writs have triumphed. .
In Minnesota, the Republicans have
elected their Governor S and a majority of '
.
the Legislature. This is a victory over' iwhieh we can heartily exult--inasmuch ,
as the People have thus endorsed the ac
tion` of the Republican members of the
Constitutional Convention, and rebuked
the Border-Ruffian efforts of ex-Gov. Gor
man and his prototypes to fasten a pro=
slaveryconstitution upon them. -
In Kansas, there is no longer any doubt
of the election of Marcus J. Parrot ; the
Free-State candidate for Delegate to Con-;
I gress, but the BOraer Ruffiaiss claim al
majority of one in the Council ; and three
in. the lower House of the Legislature.—
We are, however, inclined to think that'
their majority is fraudulent if at all. Gov. ,
Walker will doubtless manufacture a ma
jority.for them, even though the voice of
the people be different. We hope the
people are triumphant and reason victo
rious,
The, Money Troubles.
There is great distress all over the coun
try and likely to be more. But we judge
there is less in this County, and less clan
ger of its ;increase, than in most parts of
the country., There are many reasons for
this good fortune to us, which we will not
stop to enumerate, because we desire ;low
to aid iniimproving our condition,
The fallowing remarks of the N. Y.
Tribune, though not as applicable to us,
as to 04 iuhubitanta of large . cities, are
worthy of serious attention, • .
"What shall I do to mitigate the pro
veiling distress and restore the reign. of
Industry and Prosperity ?" is a question

and Millions ought to be. We answer :
"1.. Pay your debts,..to the. very utmost

As our hunker friends are .trying very
hard to make out that 'Bnehanau
is doing something for free Kansas ;we
will call th° attention of the peOple to
what lie has done. He has continued
every Border Ruffian in office, and has
removed the only Free State Democrat
*horn President Pierce retained in office
-
in Kansas. Does that look bite making
Kansas a Free State ? But ;more than
this. He has sent one sixth part of the
entire army of the United States to Kan.
sas—for what ? To enforce oppressive
enactments, placed upon the Statute Book
by the emissaries of Missouri. Now what
excuse can Any defender of Buchanan
make for this conduct. Says the
t lanai Era:
"Is he sworn to support the laws of,
agy Territory.? simple oath is ;
to support the Constitution of the United I
States. Suppose he have reason to be-1
lieve that the Constitution was violated!
by the enactment, of such laws, what isj
his duty? To examine into them—first,
their nature; secondly, their origin. If'
he becomes convinced that they were pass.
ed' , by a body elected in' violation of a
great constitutional act, and therefore
legitimate, or that they are inconsistent
with rights guarantied by the Constitu-j
tion, what, then is his duty ? - To enforce I
them ? That would be to violate his oath i
of office.. His firat duty into the Consti-j
tutiun of-the ;United States; and fidelity!
-to that requires of him a careful examin
-1
ation of any law he is called upon to en-1
force. We have no evidence that he pur-;
sued this course in relation to Kansas.--
On the contrary, he blindly recognises;
what exists, as rightfully existing : All;
that -is alleged concerning the violation of!,
,the organic act, in the election of what
claims to be the Legislature, lie' totally
ignores; and instead of construing his
oath 'of office 4.° impose on him the obli.l
gation to recognise that act, construes ; it ;
as imposing on the duty of maintain- 1
ing any Territorial law, so-culled,
.wheth
er in accordance with that act or not.
"No wonder 'that the "fire-eaters" are
satisfied with this position. It is all,they j
could ask. Let them anywhere usurp!
power, and establish the usurpation; and 1

1 Mr. Buchanan, In ,his late letter to cer
tain citizens of New England, uttered
the following rtimoraille doctrine:
! ‘‘3larery existed at ; that period, and still
i exists, in Kansas;under the constitution:of the
United States. - This point has been- at last,

to Our laws. liatc,it valid ever have been se

-"the bona fide re s idents of such tv,rritoci— 1

for themselves, whether they will continue,

,and to
them alone, does this question belong free from
