(POD MAJORITY Against "Old Buck," in his own State ! ClorlousXcwslrointlic East ! SECTIONALISM DEFEATED IN PENNSYLVANIA !! Driven Niggers Boated in Ohio ! FAXATIVISV REBUKED 7-Y IXDIAXAl! ltepublicaniam Triumphant Everywhere ! ! ! The mail by the Cortcz lust Wednesday brings the most welcome news from tlie prcat political battle field cast. We have met the common enemy of human liberty, the sectional, iduvc-lirecding democracy, and sent them diagramed, disheartened, howl Jug, nud thoroughly whipped from the fiM 'in Pennsylvania; routed, confused, and broken them up in Ohio, nnd forced them to retreat into a very close, ddi in Indiana, where we shall yet succeed in smoking them ont as Putnam did the wolf. After rending the result of the elections in this paper, we ask our friends to rejoice with us over a triumph most devoutly to be wished for, a triumph which shows that virtue is still left ntiiong American citizens, a triumph that shows that the great public heart is not too rotten to occasionally pnlsata for the Tight, that party names huvo lost their magic power to charm the masses to the support of a despotism as intolerant ns that of Austria, to fealty to a reckless ami ex travagant Administration that is fust run ning the country into bankruptcy, nud by its servility to the slave breeding, secession salamander of South Carolina and Georgia Is trying to Africanize tho continent by opcuing tho slave trade nnd crushing out free labor wherever the poor white man handles tho nx, holds tho plow, or wields the hammer for tho support of his family. It is indeed a glorious triumph one which infuses every lover of tho Un'on and the Constitution with new courage, fills his heart with joy, and gives him a stronger confidence iu tho ultimate triumph of right, in tho perpetuity of the Government, and of the ultimate, overthrow of sectionalism and fanaticism, in nil its forms. Tho thunders Hint were heard in Penn sylvania, Ohio and Indiana have sent a thrill of joy to the hearts of millions on tho Other side of the mountains, while thousands on the Pacific shores send back their con gratulatory shouts nt a result that foreshad ows a triumph in 1SG0 that will mark a new epoch iu tho history of this govcrnm; nt and inaugurate u policy that will divert the public money from the pockets of unprinci pled partisan toadies to building a great national railroad and binding the extremes of tho continent togethir in strong iron bands. It is a triumph which shows the sure onward march of civilization and the upward tendency of the Anglo Saxon race. It i:i a reformation in tlio right direction, a triumph of principle brought about by free discussion, nnd the omnipotent power of the press. It indicates the sure progress of a revolution that wo have predicted for twenty years n revolution that never will go backwards1, let short sighted and unprin cipled demagogues sny what they will. It is but the beginning of a general smash up of the cold icebergs of ignorance and fanat icism on which black democracy has built all its hopes, nnd which, it was hoped, was eternally frozen to the north side of the old Key Stone State. But the warm sun of intelligence, by the aid of the public press, has climbed higher and higher, till it has reached a point in the political heavens whero its genial rays have shot down the northern slope of the old ' Key Stone' mountains and thawed loose the iceberg?, Retting them adrift upon tho ocean where they will soon l melted and ground into nonentity. Tho result will never be regret ted by tho great mass of the people whose interest it is to have a wholesome, lionorn oblo and economical government. The only grumbling that will bo made over it will be among time serving, dishonest as pirants foroineo in such places as the Salem caucus room, with, no doubt, a terrible howling in Hell. Pennsylvania has elected the anti-Buchanan State Ticket by some thirty thousand majority, though many of the nnti-Lccompton Democrats, who have not fullv renonno d their old party connection, voted for the "regular'' candidates. John M. Read, whom this revolution places 011 the bench of the Supreme Court, is one of the ablest lawyers in Philadelphia, always a strong Jackson and Van Buren man, who revolted at the repudiation of tlio Missouri compact, and gave a hearty support to Col. Fremont. He is an out-and-out B publican. Hs ojv ponent, William A, Porter, also now of Philadelphia, is a son of e.x-Gov. Porter- a mneh younger mun than Mr. Read, nnd with bis reputation ns a lawyer to make. -If gentleman of like 1,-gal standing to Mr. Read were always chosen Judres, tho fm gdice against constituting a Judiciary by popular sulTriigo would soon fado out. William K. l'nrcr, tho new Conul Commis sioner, lives In Fuyclto County, and is cull ed an American. The new Legislature Will be strongly Opposit'ou in the House nearly three to one but it is believed that the many dem ocrats holding over In tho Senate will In sure a mujor.ty of (17 to 16) to that party.

Ohio l.ai increased her nnti Buchanan mijority from 1,000 Inst year to over 10, 000 this, and elected fifteen Republicans to six Democrats to Congress. We should have gained more Congressmen, but the State was apportioned by the Democrats to give themselves the greatest possible advan tage, and we lose one of the Cincinnati Dis tricts, Lewis D.

Xow, John M. Bead, tho Opposition can didutu for Supremo Judge, has received a mujonty winch, from present indications, will not bo less than 00,000. One short year tins effected a change of ubout 100,000 votes iu the relative positou of the two leading parties of the State. In 1850, fif teen Democrats were elected to Congress; now, only two or three AiliniiKstrut.ou cau diuates Lave escaped deleut." Oi.n Bkrks. J. Clancy Jones, Buch anan's lender in Congress lust session, has been defeated by MaJ. Schwartz, an nnti Lccompton democrat, by 19 votes. Jones was elected two years ago by 6,044 major ity.

" Tho present defeat in our State is wide spread nnd terrible. Some of our most cherished champions have been unhorsed, and many districts, which have heretofore lieen considered impregnable, have fell be fore tiic attacks of the allied forces. This state of things would seem to indicate a complete prostration of the Democracy in tlio old Keystone. It is so considered by the Opposition, and already their presses are jub.lant over the prospects for 18G0." from the New York Herald, Oct. 20. "It is manifest that, in these late clec t'ons, the Douglas rebellion of the North has worked its full share of mischief to the lauten democracy; but in this connection the treacherous Douglas sympathizers in the South occupy the most indefensible po sition. The unblushing duplicity and treachery of the fire-enting ultras of the South, iu their later sympathies for Donglas, niay be set down among the most efficient causes in producing these late dis asters to our Northern supporters of South ern righU and Southern abstractions. -., " In this view of the mutter, such noisy Southern salamanders as Toouih. Ste phens, Brown of Mississippi, and others of tho present defenders of Douglas, sink into the meanest of doublo-dculing conspirators." From Ftniy'$ Preti, Oct. 20. " There has never been in Pennsylvania a political overthrow so overwhelming and complete ns that achieved on Tuesday. Yet, startling as tho results are, they only faintly indicate tho Intense feeling of indig nation nnd hostility which the Lccompton l icy of the Administration, and the pre scriptive means by which it has sought to enforce it upon the Democratic party, has awakened. Thero never wns s party moro completely and thoroughly Tylerixed than the Administration party in this Stutc. The wonder is, not thut tho Administration candidates received so few votes, bnt that they received so ninny. On tho test questions of making a fluidity of the Kmrlish B.ll and tho persecution of Judge Douglas in Illinois, thero nro abso lutely no persons nt nil In our State agree ing with tho Administration, except those directly influenced by its patronage. On these issues, fuirly made, tho majority in this State, instead of being some 50,000 or 00,000, would havo more nearly approach ed 300,000, if the honest sentiment of our whole population could havo been ex pressed." Ohio. The Cincinnati Gazette estimates the Republican majority of Ohio at 22,000. This shows a gain in that Stato of over 20,000 since the last gulienmtoriul election. Iowa. The returns so fur indicate that the Republicans have elected both members of Congress. Mis.nesota. -The returns, so fur as they come in, show the Republicans ahead. Kansas Has elected the Republican ticket in most of tho counties henrd from. DiFFr.nENCE. The New York Tribune computes our majority in Pennsylvania at thirty thousand, nnd concedes that the Democratic Stato ticket in Indiana is elect ed by a small majority, while the Republi cans have carried the Legislature and most of tho Congressional districts. Forney's Press puts tho majority so fur as heard from in Pennsylvania at thirty-five thousand on the State ticket, and says it will reach sixty t'lousand. The New York Herald, and the Pennsylvanian, Buchanan's homo or gan, both think tho Republicans havo swept everything in Indiana, State ticket, and all. Requiescat in Pace Under the Slabs. The unwashed in this city were greatly in hopes that that " dimmycrattick canncn" which was " botn off the Senyrety" could be brought out on tho arrival ot this inuil to bellow over the triumph of treason in Pennsylvania. Bat as tho Pennsylvunians have buried tho Lccompton traitors out of sight, the cannon must still rust on under a pile of slabs. TJxrr-Y. Forney's Press says that a delegation from the N. Y. democracy wait ed on Buchanan and begged him to stop his persecutions of Douglas, as it would ruin the election in New York. Old Buck told them that ho would " preserve the in7 of tho democratic party if it sacrificed every democratic candidate for Congress in New York." Forney says that his policy w ill surely reduce tho party to a nnit-y, as Jeemes Buchanan will be the only member left. Atlantic Tni.EcR.vrn. Nearly all hopes of ever getting tho present wire to work again huve been dissipated. The New York Chief been miles Tribune says: " The Electrician in announces that 0110 brcuk has discovered about two hundred from tho coast of Ireland, nnd that another is susnected to exist at a still crrcnter distance. As a miss is ns cood nstl a mile, so one break is as good or ns bad! as a thousand, but the truth probably is that the breaks are nearer a thousand than one. The interruption, no doubt, is not merely in one or two places, but from end to end. The coble still holds together, and may continuo to do so, perhaps, for some timo longer; but it is gradually though . u u ,0 1 certainly yielding to the strain of its own weight, and tho immense pressure to which it is subjected, ns a spun yarn yields to a slow and steady tension." Prize Fight. Tho great prize fight between Hcnnn and Morrisscy wns to take place in Canada, Oct. 20th. Both chain pious have been put in training nud are said to be in " excellent plight." The Troy (N. Y.) Evening Times estimates that $250,000 have been staked on the result in that State, while merchants and capital ists iu all the large cities, from New York to Chicago and New Orleans have staked large sums on the result of this brutal conflict. Mails. The letter mail from the Co lumbia wns brought down this week by land. Friend Deihl, the temperance lec turer, was a passenger on board the Co lumbia, and came down by land. He will probably lecture some nt various points in the Territory before he leaves. Steamer Colcmdia. Capt. Huntington of the Cortez informs us that the Columbia is detained in the Uinxpia harbor iu conse quence of the channel having shifted.

Rincawon, Just from Frazier river, arrived on tho Cortei lust Wednesday. Ho bus tnudo tho trip pay Very well, and although he didn't mine any himself, by trading ho picked up considera ble of tho 010 that wns dug by others. Ho traveled extensively In tho mining country, being as fur up 011 Thonion' River as Shiiswnp. He says there are about three thousand persons working tho mines. Thoso with common hand rockers inuko from four to six dollars and those who use sluices from thirty to forty dollars a day to the hand. Tho Captain has no doubt but the paying gold region Is of vast extent, and that these mines will yet be worked to great profit. Ho says he believes tho rush there will bo us great next summer as this. Flour is worth ubout seventy-fire cents and beef fifty cents a pound. Gen. Palmer is yet iu tho mines, and is doing well. y Cajt. Rodektson. Just before going to press wo received a letter from Cupt. Mor timer Robertson, who left tho Dulles July 20, for Frazicr river, by tho way of Yuki ma. His letter bears dato Upper Frazicr River, Oct. 10. For information in regard to the mines he refers us to those who huve lately come iu und intimates that the rea son they didn't find more gold was that a large majority of the company were un willing to stop long enough to prospct thoroughly. Iu conclusion he says " It my intention to return to the Yakima June next for the purpose of ruluIlingJuy engagement with tho Portland pcopl I may start from here with a party ely iu June, or go down Frazier's River, ad start again from Portland. Previous to setting out, I will advertise the Portland people which way I will como and tho time of starting." BQr Gen. Adair has a letter in the last Standard reviewing tho political character of Cznpkny's Agent. Ho calls him a ' dough-face calumniator,' a ' mere thing,' a ' charlatan,' a ' creature' with ' prying abolition propensities,' with a 'selfish and gluttonous nnture,' thut induced him to 'thrust his proboscis into my Kentucky kitchen.' Now, General, that i too bad, ns be tween Democratic brethren. How do you know but he ' thrust his proboscis into your kitchen' in search of a ' robber ? or to ' save tho Union' ? The blockhead's snout once went into Leland's stove after the ' Culver k-ttor into tlio office of the Al bany Evening Jonrnul for nn 'abolition leader' all to ' save the Union,' and you didn't kick up a rumpus or 1 stop his pnner' for that. Then why raise a fuss with h for poking his nose into your Kentucky kitchen ? You must know that all such editors arc in the habit of doing just such things in Kentucky. They are in Tennes see, to onr certain knowledge. Focxdery. The new foundery of Rossi k Co. iik this city is ranking things jingle. It has already invested twenty-seven thou sand dollars in buildings, machinery, and stock, nud contemplates a further outlay of several thousand dollars. Mr. Hurley in forms us that tlw) Company contemplates purchasing machinery suitable for manufac turing all kinds of agricultural implements, as they can be made here for less than they can be afforded when shipped from abroad. It speaks well for our future, when such es tablishments as this are being started and kept tip by home patrouage. ' 63? Portland is certainly bo!! to be a V great place. Wo were surprised at the .'? 01 crease of the city, as also its business, upon visit there last Tuesday for the first time iu several months. The city school-house is certainly a creditable job to thoso who projected it and superintended its construc tion, as nlso to the citizens who furnished the means. The mud at this season of the year is truly terriffic on most of the streets back of Front Street. Property holders have not yet done their whole duty in making this pnrt of the city possable for traveler 8 McCorsiick's Almanac for the coming year has been laid on our table. It is well filled with statistical information, nnd whilo we do not consider it quite cquul to his Almanac for 1858 in point of informa tion regarding Oregon, wo do think it is creditable to the publisher. . , Flunkeyism. The P. C. Advocate con tains the following paragraph iu its last issue: ' " Register. B. Jennings, Esq., has been appointed Register of the Land Of fice, Oregon City, in place of Ralph Wil cox, Esq., resigned. Mr. Jennings will make a capable officer." Mr. Jeunings will make just about as ' cnpablu' tin officer as ony ordinary farmer that might have been selected nt random without regard to qualifications, nnd we know that in his very heart he will be dis gusted at the flunkeyism that has endorsed his capability in advance, in hopes of a lit tle patronage. Mr. Jennings, as a man, is no doubt us clever, quiet, and unobtrusive as most good citizens, and no one would question his capacity to raise nnd sell veg etables or run a fishing smack; bnt that he has a single qualification for the important post assigned him other than that of being a trusty partisan a qualification that will obviate the necessity of committing the whole business of the office to hireling clerks we do not believe he will claim to have. The appointment is as judicious perhaps as could have been expected of an Admmistrat.on which in bestowing favors seems to ask no further questions than " Is he a good dirt-rater f Kiiiiotino, A man mimed Day was shot by Niles on Upcr Molalla ono night last week. Day, in company with threo or four other drunken rowdies, came to the Igato In fiout of Niles' house, and sent in one of their number to nsk tho privilege of staying all ulght. Upon being refused, one them came in and requested a mun who was stopping with Niles to como to the gate, as one of the gang wanted to see htm. After a good deul of importunity ho con sented, and went to the party outside, when tho crson who scut for hint commenced a quarrel with him about some difficulty they had previously had.

At this Niles shot him in tho breast, the bull passing through the lungs, when Dny n treated, but received another ball through tho leg from Nilcs's pistol ns ho was going. Dny was alive at lust accounts, but his case is a very criticul one. Ho is a worthless character, and has the rcpututlon of be longing to the gang of horse-thieves that infest the country. Niles was discharged nt a preliminary examination before a ma gistrate. 11. led. A young mun named Morton Stump was shot dead on the ferry boat in Portland lust week by his father-in-law, D. Batch. Stump hud doped with a daughter of Balch two weeks previous, and married her against tho will of Balch. Tho girl is said by some to have been sixteen, and by others eighteen, years of age. Stump was on the bout with his wife, in order to cross over on their way homo somewhere near the Columbia, nftir having visited Port land to lay In on outfit for house-keeping, when Balch came ou board with a double barreled shot-gun, und fired one barrel into Stump's face, killing him Instantly. Bulch was immediately nrristed, and, nflera pre liminary investigation, was committed to answer to tho charge of murder at the uext term of the Court. Batch was a wood chopper, who lived with his family a mile nnd a half back of Portland, very poor, and rather worthless. Stump hud worked for him some timo since, during which an attachment sprung up betwecu BuicYs daughter and the deceased. The citizens of Portland arc now contributing to the wants of Batch's family by subscription, as they have been visited by some good Sa maritan and found to be in a very destitute. condition.

Kelly says that Laney interfered as he was in the dischargo of his duty iu trying to keep the peace nmong some row dies opposite the saloon, nt eleven o'clock Thursday night, when ho knocked Laney down with his club. It was in consequence of this that Laney mndo the attack npon him. It must have been the liquor that caused the difficulty, as Laney is naturally a quiet, pcsceahlo man. Cleared.

A German named Kirehem, living in the country a few miles, was nr raigned before Justice McCnrver last Tuesday nud fined twenty dollars and costs for whipping a boy of some seven or eight years, belonging to Ilidge, the late peda gogue of this city. Tho boy took hold of a rope which was dragging on tho ground behind Kirchem's ox wagon, when the Ger man walked back and struck him three very heavy blows with an ox-gnd some six feet long, and the s'zc of a man's flngir. The Dutchmnn expressed himself truly pen itent for the affair when ho wns orraigned, and such was his excessivo grief that the magistrate, being a humane man, let him off with the moderate sum of twenty dollars and costs.
