the past week Pennsylvania bag achieved one of the most triumphant ries to be found in her annals A victory that tells not only upon her own but upon the nation A- victory that will make an epoch in the history of the Stater and one to which future historians will refer as tbe turning point of a great gle between freedom and slavery Thirty thousand majority in a Stato like ours where intelligence and are to be ve scarcely ev er known equalled From what we learn from common rumor it pears that Barger and Conner bad lived together illicitly for several years but that latterly Barger had get married to another woman probably nt her Mary feeling incensed abandonment concluded to have revenge and yesterday procured a pound of sulphuric acid at n drag store for the purpose of her leaving the

remedy applied that could be made available The action of the course was In a few the skin of the face peeled off taking the whiskers and with it One eye was rendered entirely and will always be so and the other will probably be destroyed Wherever the acid ran the skin came off and the neck and part of the body were rendered perfectly raw Mr Barker's clothes were eaten np with the shirt and vest

Union where a teeming press is daily and weekly sending forth her notes of warning on ther side exposing errors and portraying evils and corruption existing in onr land is a fact of great sound in thunder tones that ought to awaken a sleeping nation This result has not been obtained by undue excitement created by unusual display and be expenditure of large sums of money No this victory lias been obtained as no other in the history pi our country A silent yet potent influence has been at work deep down in the hear of the masses As proof of this let ns for a moment look at the state of things on the morning of our State election Neither party was certain of a victory Each hoped for and predicted a Neither ever dreamed of a majority of thirty thousand majority The victors as well as vanquished were overwhelmed by this result What better evidence of the fact can we have than the one just en Most truly have we arrived at a odin our history results This voluntary and spontaneous uprising of the people to redress the wrongs of a nation and to rebuke a corrupt gives evidence of an element in our midst sufficiently powerful to preserve the nation and completely all gloomy forebodings that any sensitive mortal may have of a dissolution of the Union The result of onr State election is a lesson from other States instruction Politicians will learn from it how widely they have deviated from the right path and correct their reckoning Their compass be changed to a nearer approach of the true meridian But we have a word of warning to give while speaking of our good cheer An- other and more decisive battle is going to be fought in November We fear that many may rest on the victory won and may not feel the zeal they ought in the coming contest that we have in the past contest only prepared the way The march to the goal bos yet to be made Falter not then fellow Republicans Be doubly diligent in the work before you and a far more glorious victory will crown our labors South That article the Constitution of our Country which saya that The of each shall be entitled to aU the leges and immunities of citizens in tbe lev rial no longer to be a dead fetter And we predict that our Democratic friends Will be relieved from this eternal harping soon after is ted on the 4th of March 1800 about the privileges and immunities above referred to being denied the Northerner who should a State lying south of Mason Dixon's line It is a well-known fact that in almost every State during the last few years the freedom of speech hat been that the press has had no dom of discussion and that even postmasters have been actively engaged in suppressing all matter passing through the mails which discussed tbe slavery question as we discuss it bere But this arbitrary power which arrogates all to itself end denies righto which plainly written in onr to those who have not the power to assert them has been whispered to very lately by Maine Indiana Ohio and Old Pennsylvania These States have said to our Southern masters be Tbe effect was miraculous and when HAM La scout is inaugurated on the steps of tbe Capitol he will have OB many porters of bis administration in the Southern States as he coil Id wish for Baltimore has already inaugurated movement which will soon be followed b others in every section of the territories of our sectional brethren Soon after the news elections in Indiana and nia bad demonstrated tbe fact that LINCOUT was to be the next President of these Uni- ted States a club of over a thoul- members was in the city of Baltimore on the spur of the moment We predict that the contagion will extend even further South and expect to see Republican electoral tickets voted for in all of the der slave States and some of the more ultra ones at our next Presidential election There arc many thousands of the voters of the Slave States who rejoice to see that day is breaking at lost They have said to themselves nil along that there is no night so dark so long but that it will pass away and they rejoice that the time is coming when they can have the freedom of speech and the freedom of suffrage ex- tended to them Where then be the great argument which is being continually rung in our ears that Republicanism is tional because onr candidates get no Vote In the southern part of our Al know thai south of Mason Dixon's line under the present rule of the misnamed cy a mnn advocating or endorsing the promulgated in the Chicago form is not safe from the violence of a Tar and clubs are the swers which are generally given to oil ments that our Southern lords dislike But these disgraceful scenes are about They have been borne long and patiently but the mighty hosts of Freedom begin to move Old party ties have been mapped like and who fought each other on issues of minor import ance are now found acting jn concert upon this great issue before which all others pole into insignificance Our brethren are already in the The hymns of Freedom have already been chanted in Ohio Maine and on the prairies of Indiana and our own beloved Keystone State has sent np one universal shout for Freedom in Territories which has been heard from Lake Champlain to tbe mouth of the Rio-Grande The Party of the Broncos WIDOWS question hat been often pot but not our late election could any reply be definitely given The election returns from the counties lying south of us have dissipated forever all that were en- this peculiar question It is fur congratulation that the ferment of the public mind gradually subsided when this question was solved and that 17 again reigns supreme It cannot be ex- we opine that our county could be induced to spare so estimable a which Mr Benton undoubtedly more than one winter at a time Let
