The Great Result.
The contest is ended, and the Repub
licans are defeated. The combined in
fluence of slavery, the democratic party,
and the national Americans, have proved
too strong for the Republicans. The in
terests of Kansas and freedom appear to
be down for the present. Slaveocracy,
uot democracy, has triumphed. We
mourn over this result, not simply because
it is the defeat of a party, but because it
is the prostration of a great principle-
Freedom, or rather the nou-extension of
slavery, was pitted against slavery, or its
extension into territory once free, free by
the laws of God and nature, and till the
repeal of the Missouri compact free by
the laws the land and, slavery has tri
umphed. So far as this election can de
cide the question ; 60 far as the success
of the Cincinnati platform, with its ex
ponent upon it can prove the nation to be
in favor of land piracy and slavery, it
has done so. Mr. Buchanan is elected.
And yet it is noalone the slave power
that has done it. Sectional prejudices,
party lies, divisions and political huck
stering have really done more than the
slave power. They must divide the hon
ors between them. Mr. Buchanan Las
carried but three northern states,and none
of these by majorities unless it be Indi
ana. Mr. Fillmore has in reality secured
. Pennsylvania to Buchanan,' as also New
Jersey. Had it not been for the diver
sion in Mr. Buchanan's favor diversion
by professed friends of the same princi
ple the Republicans advocated, Mr. Bu
chanan would be master of only the one
hundred and twenty votes from the south.
And even there he is not strong. After
all this, by political bargain and corrup
tion, by dU'Utons, paid for with slave
money, he is this day the president elect
It 'u done, and complaining will not
change the result. All we can do is to
mark the conspirators. Still the Repub
licans have accomplished wonders, more
than ever party did before in the same
time. Materials existed, but the build
ing could not be said to be framed prior
to the u People's Convention," last June
which nominated Mr. Fremont. In five
months it put on its strength, routed the
democracy in its strongholds, conquered
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut,
and indeed all the northern states but
three, and has rolled up majorities that
re absolutely astonishing. It comprises
now three fourths of the native Ameri
can vote, nine tenths of the professing
Christians of all denominations except
Catholics, and all the ladle of the north.
Amidst our sorrow therefore, there is
much in which to " thank God, and take
courage." "We have missed the presi
dency, but we have gained the people.
Now, what will be the policy of the in
coming administration ? Reasoning from
the course pursued by the present admin
istration, the Cincinnati platform and the
Ostend manifesto, we might well feat
that wc should have four years of the
intensest slave aggression ever witnessed
on this continent. If wc look at these,
we can have no hone for free Kansas.
nor that we shall escape a war with all
Western Europe on account of Cuba.
Certainly we shall have Nicaragua an
nexed, and probably Mexico, all for the
extension of slavery. All these things
point to such a result. How terrible the
prospect. Let loose the dogs of war, and
let them glut themselves with blood for
the extension of the worst form of op
pression. Will Jehovah permit t ?
But when we look at the result of this
contest and bring Mr. Buchanan's past
history into the account, we have hope
of a somewhat different programme.
The president elect lias always been a
careful man, not overmuch given to con
flict even when his blood coursed more
swiftly through his veins. With the sin
gle exception of Ostend, in which case
he was led by the fiery Soule, he has
been ft conservative. He comes nearer
to the position of "old fogy," than
"Young America." AVill he now, at
Bixty-hve, strike out a new policy for
himself? Led by southern fire-caters
end bullying filibusters he might, had
the party showed itself strong in this
contest But as it is, supported by a
handful at the north, and four fifths of
them foreigners, with a small majority in
the electoral college, and full 350,000
minority in the popular vote, we think
he will pause before he rushes into mea
sures calculated to alienate all there is
of decency in the free states from him
self and party. Those who are for the
extreme southern policy are but a mea
gre majority of 65,000 in the entire
troth, whilo at the. north not even hi.
fcupporten are in favor of it. They vo
ted for him because they were bound to
the democratic party, and would have
done the same, many of them, if Mr.
Douglas's candidate had stood in bis
place. -v - ' .
Mr. Van Buren, giving in his adhe
sion to the movement, declared that with
Mr. Buchanan's antecedents and present
pledges, he was bound to support the in
terests of freedom in Kansas, and at the
west where victories have been gained
for bim, they were gained on this very
ground.
Taking the whole history of the cam
paign into the account, it is safe to con
clude that the whole north has declared
against the filibuster and slave policy,
while there are just 65,000 fire eaters at
the south for it. Will then a man of Mr.
Buchanan's acknowledged ability and
statesmanship, drive the country into an
archy and war for the snke of those
65,000, led by the insane Wise and Bul
ly Brooks ? Let us hope not.

Interesting from St. Domingo.
A correspondent of the New York
Timet, writinc from St. Domingo City,
Oct. 15, says on the night of the 11th of
October, a mob; instigated by JUr. a. jjx
Segovia, Spanish Consul-General, as
sembled before the United States Con
sulate for the purpose of pulling down
the flagstaff and the sign, throwing stones
acainst the eagle, and making the great
est disorder.' There were also cries of
" Down with the fillibusters ! down with
the American ensign !" The American
Consul, Mr. Jacob Pereira,.repa'tred to
the spot for the purpose of imposing re
spect, but all his efforts were in vain.
Not being able at that moment to oDiain
any assistance from the authorities, he
was obliged, for the safety of his person
and life, to leave the place of disorder.
The morning after the riot the consul re
presented the case to the government,
and the Mayoi offered him protection
and a file of soldiers to enforce that re
spect which was due to the United States
Consulate. This was, however, refused
by Mr. Pereira, who stated that the
American flag needed no guard to cause
it to be respected, and that he was then
prepared to meet any mob that might
appear. But all disturbance was soon
quelled. Mr. Segovia took fright and
remained at home.
The Spanish Consul has compelled
the Dominican government to withdraw
a treaty just made with the Unite States,
and is exerting himself to prejudice the
Dominicans against our citizens. He
has sent the American Minister, Del-
monte, his passports.
Buffalo, Nov. 10.
The severe gale of Saturday morning
caused considerable damage to the city.
The roof of the State Line railroad was
blown off and carried some distance. A
brick dwelling on Clinton st. was blown
down. A portion of the roof of the
warehouse of Welling, Tanner &; Co., on
Michigan st., was blown off. Also the
lower part and roof of Fisher's Elevator,
and the roof of the Central Railroad
freight depot, sustained slight damage.
The freighthouse, woodshed and a large
quantity of wood belonging to the State
Line Railroad, at Westfield, was burned
on Jnaay night. JMo particulars as

On the Liquor Law.
In the House, Friday, Nor. 7. Mr.
Powers remarked that there were many
members who professed to be warm
friends to this bill. He could not but be
reminded of a certain story which he once
read.
There was once a great gathering of the
numerous classes of animals. ' Among
them came one with a peculiar stripe.
He introduced himself to the assembly as
anodh. Some doabts arose among oth
ers as to his true character. At last one
spoke out "The professed coon didn't
look like a coon. lie didn't act like a
coon, and what is more, didn't smell like
a coon." .
So was it with these professed friends
of the temperance cause. They didn't
look like friends of temperance. They
didn't act like friends of temperance, and
whether they smelt like friends of tem
perance, those who sit in their immediate
vicinity could better tell.
He went on to say that he had met
different members from the town of Brat
tleboro-these lukewarm professed friends
of temperance, but he observed that
these members had never been returned,
He thought that these men misrepresent.
ed the true temnerance men of Brattle
boro.
Mr. Bradley opposed the bill, and
commenced by saying that mankind were
divided into two great classes. Class
No. 1 consisted of the gentleman from
Woodstock ; Class No. 2, mankind gen
erally. Class No. 1 was always unani
mous. Class No. 2 differed in their
opinions. Again, tiass jno. 1 was ai
wavs modest. Clas No. 2 were varied,
Class No. 1 knows all about Class No. 2.
but Class No. 2 don't know one half
about Class No. 1. He never said that
he was favorable to the liquor law. He
never said anything about it.
If any State's Attorney should neglect
any duties in 20 pages of the act, he
would be liable to the severest punish
ment. Why not apply this to other
crimes theft, murder, Sec ? In this case
there is no act described, no crime. One
of the duties of magistrates is to spill li
quor in one case, in another not. A case
comes up before a justice of the peace-
if the justice neglects his duty, he must
suffer. He must decide ; if he decides
one way, he is guilty if the other, like
ly to be guilty. What is he to do ? If
I am attacked personally, I consider it
addressed to my cowardice, and by the
God above me, such arguments shall be
as weak as weak can be.
I shall do my duty, and it will take
more than Tom Powers of Woodstock
to frighten me from it

Striking Scene at a Gaming
Table. As a company of our fast
young men were busy over the card table
a few evinga since, a singular noise at
traded their attention. It was of so un
usual a nature that they immediately be
gan to look about for its cause. It was
repeated in another direction. Some
thing more than curiosity was now ex
cited, and playing was suspended. Im
mediately one of the company dropped
into what the spiritualists call a trance,
and proceeded to utter, as if from his de
ceased father, a homily against gambling
and its associate vices. This was follow
ed by an admonition purporting to come
from a deceased sister of one of the com
pany, couched in such terms and uttered
with such sisterly feeling that the whole
group were irresistibly moved to tears,
There was no more card playing that
night. None of those present were be
lievers m spiritual manifestations, and
the scene was wholly unexpected to all,
Whether it was indeed spiritual or is
capable of some other solution, is a ques
tion. It was told at a religious meeting,
bunday, and we have no doubt it occur
red substantially as we here repeat it.
Springfield Hepublican, 9th.
New York, Nov. 10.
The Charleston Mercury of the 7th
contains a long letter, addressed to Gov,
Adams of South Carolina, by B. Barn
well Rhett, urging an immediate dissolu
tion of the Union, and the establishment
of a Southern confederacy. He urges
that next to abolistionism, the chief cause
of grievance to tho South is the tariff,
and ho proposes that in the approaching
mouincation ot that measure, South Ca
rolina should demand that it should be
refused at least to the standard and prin
ciples of 1833, and if such a tariff is not
conceded, why," he asks, " should S
Carolina, or any other Southern State,
any longer keep representatives in Con
gress ?" In another part of his letter,
air. Knett says : u In my humble judjr.
ment, all true statesmanship in the South
consists in forming combinations, and
shaping events, so as to bring about, at
speedily as possible, a dissolution of the
present Union, and the erection of
Southern Confederacy."
