i'.v; :hanaU will be tbe largest minority
Pi if! -we have ever had. Fillmore and
Fremont will have a majority over Bucba

L ccfccoisai has little to boast iu bis elec
v. Ueu he and the Border-Ruffian-Fit i
c ting Cincinnati Platform, are etnpha
t .'ally condemned by so large a portion of
American people. To our friends, in

Would say, "pick your flints and try it

Governor, and in 1860, the opposition to
the black: Democracy will not be divided,
ud we wilf lick them out cf their boots!
Buehauan's majority in this State will
e about 25,000. It is not known yet
whether be will have a majority over the
Union and Straight vote combiued.
The revival is still in progress at the
Methodist Church, and bids fair to continue
for some time yet.

THE DUTY OF* AMERICAN CITI
ZENS.
Though defeated we are not conquered, and
though overwhelmed we are not dismayed.
The election here demonstrates the necessi
ty of our principles und a prompt reorgani
zation to maintain theui. We want in New
York City—
A IUuISTRT LAW.
And for the whole country,
A PCRE BALLOT-BOX.
An Amendment to the Naturalization
Laws.
A more intelligent exercise of the Right
of Franc-bine.
These are principles of detail, and every
true man in the country ought to unite
with us to secure theui. But, judging
from the past, all that is done to accomplish
ends so desirable, will be left to the work
of the American Party and of those who
sympathise with it. There are also other
important National Principles which we
shall not surrender, come what may, even
though wc should engage in a hopeless
struggle to maintain them all our lives.
We stand fast by the faith that u Americans
should rule America;" that the allegiance
of all foreigners becoming American citizens
should be complete; that the Government
should become more Americanized, more
depeudent upon its own labor, its own man
ufactures. We al<o hold all sectionalism
in abhorrence, and cling to the UnioD of
the States as the Pali&d'utu of our liberties
and safety of our Republic. Let no man
despair. Defeated to-day, we reorganize
to-morrow. We have both heart and hope
for fututs work. We say to our fiieuds
stand tirrn. Be not cast down, nor dis
nnye-i.
"Laugh when you win;
If yon lose, try again."
While you arc beateo, our couutry and
the right stand stroug in the affections of
the great majority of the American people
Sectionalism is rebuked. Partisan thool
ogv is rebuked. Commerce aud trade,
libor and uunutactures thrive aud prospei.
Wc look out upon thirty-one States, and
thirty-one stars to represent them upon a
Union flag, flying in the breezo, and in
the midst of onr misfortunes find abundant
eatjve for congratulation.—-V. Y. Express.
It is given cut by the quidnuncs, that
Mr. Buchanan has announced or will an
nounce that the pol : cy of his Administration
will be to make Kansas a Free State. Not
too fast, gentlemen. It is quite possible
that, under the tremendous set of the north
ern current disclosed in the election, lie
already wavers; and, at Wheatland, sur
rounded by Northern friends appalled at
the disasters which the party in the North
Las already suffered, and fearing greater
from a continuance of the Pierce policy, he
aud tbey may momentarily dream of resis
tance to the Slave Oligarchy, at least in
♦heir determination to make Kansas a Slave
State. But it is only a dream. No such
policy wiil mark his administration. He is,
as be himself has declaicd, not Mr. Jsmes
Buchanan of Pennsylvania, the timid, con
servative, well-meaning gentleman*, but the
personification of the Cincinnati Platform,
which declared substantially that if the
slaveholders oould complete the conqust of
Kansas they might do it. Mr. Buebanan is
one of those who reoognize the validity of
the Border-Ruffian code of Kansas, and
that code, and what will now necessarily
follow it, makes Kansas a Slave State.
When Mr. Buchanan shall have recovered
from Lis fright at finding himself a sectional
President, and !3 fairly seated at Washing
ton, braecd up by his Soutnern advisers
aud controllers, be will drop all this tain
and confine Liuiseif to the easy platitudes
of the constitution and the Union. Under
these sounding phrases the Slavery crus
i aders will pnsh their projects and consoli
, date their possession of the territory wrested
from the Free States. Mr. buchanan may
personally hate this result as the sure prog
nostic of a tempest nous time for his admin
istration, and the harbinger of political ruin
to his party in the North, but he will swal
low his fears and obey the urgent demands
of the South. The good, easy people who
dream cf moderation or decency in the
settlement of the Kansas question have not
yet twakened to the character of thei r
Southern tulers. Buchanan U merely the
Rivas cf the slave driving Walkers, who
will not only inspire but dictate every mea
sure of Lis adminstratian— JV. Y. Tribune.
The Foreign Vole.
In the first jlaec, the whole foreign vote
—lrish and German—has been cast for Bu
chanan, There may have been, here and
there, some scattering German votes given
for Fremont. In this city and in one or two
of the Western States, this has probably
been the case, but on the whole we do be
lieve that one tenth part of tbe GennaD
vote has been given to the Republican tick
et. As for tbe Irish, they have gone in a
drove—as they always do—for the regular
Democratic ticket. They will probrbly
never do anything else, as long as they re
main Irish—and it takes at least two gene
rations to convert tbern into Americans.—
They seem to lack the faculty of individu
al action, or of exercising a personal judg
ment on public affairs. They vote in herds
—and are of course managed like other
herds, under the control of skillful aud ex
perienced drivers.
Besides this, there is nothing that an
Irishman loves like the opportunity to tyr
anize over somebody; and Dotbing that he
hates like a negro. Having been the vic
tim of oppression, as he supposes, all his
life at home, Lis only notion of liberty here
is that he can treat somebody else in the
same style. The Irish bave been told all
through the lute canvass, by the leaders of
the Buchanan party, that Col. Fremont if
elected would immediately set all the slaves
free and bring them North to take the bread
from the laboring Irish! They believed it
of course. Their ignorance and credulity
make thecn the ready dupe 3 of every
cock and bull Story iltat jauiya mutti their
inclinations. They carc no more for the
principles of Freedom, or lor any other
principle, than t'uey do for anything else of
which they have no conception. They care
nothing for Slavery—except that they are
rather in favor of it for negroes, and are
resolutely opposed to anytLing that looks
like making negroes free and thus their
equals. They never look ahead; both at
home and here, foresight—the prevention of
future evils of any kind—seem to be be
yond their capacity. They look out only
for themselves, and that on.y for to-day.—
Everything must take care of itself.—
Iu our political contests, they neither read
nor think. If they attend political meet
ings, it is to hurrah to order—not to listen
or to learn. Thc-y follow through their
instincts, prejudices, their hatreds and their
leaders.
While the Buchanan party thus had the
whole strength ef the foreign vote, its op
ponents were divided by the adroit use of
the aoti foreign sentiment. Thousands and
tens of thousands of our best citizens who
have watched the political movements of
the past ten or fifteen years, have become
utterly disgusted and alarmed at the unity
aud compactness with which the foreign el
ement in our politics is wielded, and tbey
keenly felt the necessity of breaking up this
foreign phalanx, or of preventing the in
crease of its political power. —.V. York

TO THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
The Elders and Rulers of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Iht
Saints in the United States of America :
Dear Brethren, Faithful Followers of
the Lord aud Recipients of His Grace.—
We call upon you to stand firm to the prin
ciples of onr religion io the coming con
test for President of the country. Our
duty is plain. There are two principal par
ties in the country—one is for us and the
other against us.
The Domocratio Convention in Cincin
nati, which nominated James Buchanan for
Presideut, passed the following resolution:
"Resolved, That Congress has no power
under the Constitution to interfere with or
control the domestic institutions cf the sev
eral States, and that all such States are tbe
sole and proper judges of everything ap
pertaining to tbeir own affairs not prohibit
ed by tbe Constitution."
This is a principle of the Democratic
party, which tbey bave exteuded to Terri
tories as well as States, and the doetrii.e of
squatter sovereignty applies to us in Deso.
ret as well as to tbe settlers iu Kansas and
Nebraska.
Tbe Democratio party is tbe instrument,
to God's band, by wbieb is to be effected
BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
our recognition as a sovereign State, with
the domestic institutions of Slavery and
Polygamy, as established by the patriarchs
and prophets of old, under divine authori
ty, and renewed to the saiuts of latter
days, through God's chosen rulers and
prophets.
In the Republican Convention assem
bled at Philadelphia, which nominated J.
C. Fremont for President, it was
Resolved, That the Constitution coufers
upon Congress sovereign power over the ter
ritories of the United States for their Gov
einjjent. and that in the exercise of that
power it is both the right and the impeta
tive duty of Congress to prohibit in the ter.
ritories those twin relies of barbarism, po
lygamy and slavery.
This is a blow aimed directly at our
rights as citizens of one of the territories,
at our sacred institutions aud our holy re
ligion.
Saints of the latter days, to whom God
reveals his will through his chosen prophets,
stand steadfast in your faith, for the time is
at hand which was foretold by the prophet
of old, and rocorded in the aucient scrip
tures: ''And in that day shall seven women
lay hold of one man, and they will say, let
us cat of our own bread and wear our own
apparel: only let us be called by thy name
to take away our reproach."
Given by order of tbe President and Ru
lers, at Gieat Salt Lake, ou the fourteenth
day of August, 1356.

j Tremsn-ious Excitement in Boston—The
Wheelbarrsw bet.
BOSTON, NOV. 7, 1756.—Major Benjtmin
Perlcy Poore, the late Fillmore candidate
i for Congress in the Sixth district, arrived
I in the city this aftruooa with his wheclbar
! row and barrel of apples, which ho had
wheeled ail the way from Newouryport, a
j distance of thirty-six miles, in two and a
half days. Tho job was in fulfilment of a
i bet with Col. Burbank, the Fremont Stato
! Senator elect, that Fillmore would get
■ more votes in Massachusetts than Fremont.
The Major, wheeling his apples, was escorted
up State street about two o'olock by the
Fillmore clubs of and Charlestown,
a military company and a mounted caval
cade of citizens. The novelty of the per
formance collcctod many thousands of the
people, and the Major was greeted with ire
mendous aud tumultous applause on all
sides He delivered the apples to Col.
Burbank on the steps of the Tremont House,
where both gentlemen delivered congratu
latory speeches, mouuted on the barrel.
Ten thousaud people were present.
WHAT SHALL BE DONE NEXT 7
The late election shows that there is a deci
ded majority of the people (especially of tho
Northern States) opposed to' the doctrines and
policy of the so-called Democratic party. Mr.
Buchanan is elected, but with a majority of
250,000 votes against him! What course should
the parties which compose this majority pur
sue f On the decision of this question their
future success or defeat must depend. It must
be clear to every one that if the opposition to
Mr. Buchanan had not been distracted iu coun
cils and divided in preferences, the result would
have been entirely different. What then is to
be done 1 We suggest that the Americans and
Republioans in this State unite together, un
derthe name of American Republicans, hold
County sad other meetings fbr the purpose of
such an organization, and call a State Ooiivcn
tloii for the nomination of a candidate for Go-
Ternor, and candidates for other State Officers,
to be supported by the American republicans
of the State. Tb'a, it seems to us, would be a
wise, feasible ant', success*nl movement. We
throw out the suggestion for the consideration
of the Americana and Republicans and their
organs over the Suite.— Luncutler Whig.
Frightful lints lu Baitiimre.
Our city yesterday wan made the theatre
of the most prolonged and desperate rioting.
Armed and organized associations, belong
ing to both political parties, resorted to the
fire arms with which they were liberally
provided, awl fought with ferocious and
daring recklessness. Individual combats
and minor affrays occurred at a number of
♦he polls, but tiw most serious tk place in
tho vicinity of tire Second and Eighth ward
polls.
In both these riot 3 a large number were
wouuded, on ,J at least killed outright, and it
may be presumed that many of the injured
can hardly survive their wouuds, which are
in some instances of n very serious charac
ter. The particulars snd results of these
disgraceful encounters, were with
difficulty githcred last night, but we give
the details as our reporters were able to col
lect.
THE RIOT AT THE SECOND WARD.
During the morning there was considera
ble illfec-ling displayed at the Second ward
; polls, but up to three o'clock co serious
disturbances occurred. At that Lour a
, furious fight broke out. said to have origi
nated from a stone being thrown into the
: crowd surrounding the windows. Pistols
were immediately drawn and fired by both
parties. Tae Democrats, headed by Georga
; Konig, drove the Americans from the polls
! and up High street. The alarm was carried
to the Fourth ward polls, ami a strong body
j of Americans started from there.
The Democrats were finally overpowered,
driven away from the polls, and retreated,
still fighting, down Eastern avenue. In the
neighborhood of the Causeway they agiin
made a stand, and .there a guerilla warfare,
carried ou from tht alleys and street corners,
continued for more than anjiour. Of the
number wounded in this riot it is almost
impossible to give a full or correct list.—
They were generally carried away by their
friends, and even when traced, every effort
was made toeoneeal their names. The follow
ing were gathered by our reporters :
Officer Ilaud, of the police, was shot in
the mouth at the beginning of the affray,
receiving an ugly but not dangerous wound-
Johu Anderson, American, was shot in the
gicin. Attended by Dr. Cunningham. Do
ing well.
A man re Eiolti strcr-t, WM m
side— badly wounded.
A man, whose name we could not learn,
was shot in the forehead and mortally woun
ded. I'e was removed fiom Eastern avenue,
where he was shot, up Exeter street, to near
Fawn, where medical asolatanco was called-
He was subsequently removed to the upper
part cf the city, whore he is said to re>ide.
A girl of about twelve years, named
Bridget McCadden, whose parents reside in
Bank street, was shot in the foot while en
tering the house. Her wound, though pain
ful, is not dangerous.
A woman on Eastern avenue had an ey®
completely driven out of the socket, by a ball
fired from the Democratic ranks.
Heck QuinD, living on President street,
was shot in the side, but the wound i? net
dangerous.
A young man. wbess name we could not
learn, was shot in the leg, lut not danger
| ously.
Mrs. Mount, residing in Caroline strsct,
; near Eastern avenue, while staudiug in front
of her residence, received a bail in herlletg t
producing a flesh wound only.
James Wilson, a boy twelve years old,
was shot in the bead, just behiud the right
I oar. The wound was cot serious.
Two Germans, residing in Bank street,
near Caroline, were shot, ouo in the right
; eye, the ball penetrating tho brain. He is
mortally wouuded. The other was shot in
the back, producing only a slight flesh
wouud. Martin Haley received a shot in
the loft ear, which was extracted without
producing any injury.
Dauiel White was shot in the face, legs,
and ear with buck shot, bat the wounds
were slight.
There was also a city watchman slightly
wounded. The firing was oontinued a*
intervals until dark, and there were prob
ably many more wounded, whose names vra
could not learn because tf the excitement
that prevailed.
THE RIOT AT THE BELAIR MARKET-
About throe o'olock in the afternoon, a
report was brought to the police, stationed
at the Eightb ward that there was fighting
at the Sixth ward, and assistance was asked
to quell it. The police started, and with
them several hundred of the crowd assembled
around the polls, who in a few moments wore
armed with muskets, and accompanied by
two gangs of boys each dragging a atuall
brass cannon on wheels. They paqscd along
tho side of the Belair market, and towards
Orleans street, when they were met t>y a
conacurse of equally as wild and infuriated
men and youths, armed with tnuskeU and
pistols.
A fight then commenced, the Eighth
ward Democrat* taking shelter ia the junket
house, and the Sixth and Seventh ward
Americans firing from the fbh-raarket and
the ooruor? of Orlouoi street. They fipil'jf
