Sometimes she even reproached herself! with the new elasticity into which her ' spirit had rebounded, out she soon saw that it was but the natural consequence of her long years of depression, and accepted gratefully, yet not without many tears for the memory she could not revere, her new found peace and freedom. Louise Bronson, tho widow of the avaricious milionaire, is still living, happy, honored and respected. Peace lias brought health in its train, and her friends jestingly affirm that she has reached the borders of middle-age.

The Contrast-—The Electtoß this year j mid last. A year ago the people of Indiana ano the nation at large, were convulsed with ‘ political excitement. It was predicted by the Black Republicans that the election, of Mr. Buchanan would result in evil to I ■ the country. The opposition papers' charged that the success of the Democracy would not only fasten slavery in ‘bleed- I ing Kansas.’ but that it would at once be i introduced into Indiana and all the nonslaveholding Slates. The Democracy were i successful in both the State and national '•■lections, and none of the consequences prophecied by I he Biack Republican oraI tors have befallen the country. Such ( prophecies have attended every national canvass —the success of Democratic principles and policy, the opposition have ever charged would ruin the country, but progress’and prosperity have been the result its Democratic administration. A temporary triumph of the opposition in a tew ’ instances has been followed by a reaction in public sentiment, and the speedy re- ! turn to Democratic policy. What high-1 er tribute could be paid to its justice and wisdom. ! I With the administration of Mr. Bu-i ( 'chanan, as thus far developed, the patri I otic ci izens of the country are satisfied. His policy has been characterized by wisdom, s.igaci'vand firmness. Peace reigns within our borders, and where contention and strife was rampant through the evil ' counsels of unhalhjwed ambition, threati eninn section'd discord and strife, order ■ and quiet now prevail. Tiie people have: every confidence that under the adminisi traiion of the Patriot and Statesman who entrusted with the guidance of our na- ! tional affairs, t1...‘ the rights and prtvili<- res of the citizens, and the varied inter- : | cats of the country will be repented and I ' protected so far ns ju-t tin 1 equal government can accomplish it. An administration without the support of the people would be powerless, .’tis the dutv oft! e who tve it powt to sustain it. W henever the voice of Ihe i people can be expressed, it should be to up-.old the arras of those whom they have i selected 'o repiesent and carry out their principles. If we desire to continue the policy which now controls our public af- ' fairs," the result of every election should reaffirm it. For this reason every election is iinoortant, and should receive t.ie ; attention of all who desire to have that I policy perpetuated. A year ago the Democracy regarded the Constitution and the Union as intoned in the issue of that political campaign, i Ti.ey struggle forthe preservation ot both. They were successful. In that success we believe every good man, every true lover of his country rejoiced. — Sta'e Sentinel.

It has been estimated by good authorities that an army of 80,UU0 British troops in India would suffice for the pacification of the country under any ' ■rcumstaces apparently probable. This | is, perhaps, a reasonable assumption, and the measures which have been actually takee ought to result, no doubt, in the corcer i.-. Jon of soni i such forces as this under the orders ol Lord Canning. The European troons in India at thecominenceI ment of the year numbered altogether, I including those in the service of the Com- ' pany, about 35,001) or 40,000 men. To ! these it may be. reckoned that 10.000 have .- been or wi'i added from the Cape, the ’ Mauritius, Ceylon, and the Chinese Ex-1 I pedition, leaving 3),000 or 35,000 to be i despatched from these shores. As of . this complement 25 000 have already sailed, and nearly 10,000 more under orders : for embarcation, the immedidiate requirements of the case may appear to have been thus far satisfied; but, if we look into the matter r.. ire closely, it will soon be seen how much remains to be achieved.— j London Times, Aug. 8. The Vicissitudes of Commerce.—A few months since the partner of » comuier- ; ctat house in this city was taken to a luna- i 1 tic asylum, utterly deranged, as was «avi. 1 .by bis unp u labeled prosperity in bust-i [ ness.

The ! firm itself failed the other day, and is now s: 1 id to be utterly insolvent. One .item of the asses' of the Jeceased’s es- ’ tp.te was a thousand shares of the Illinois Central R vlroad stock, which was selling at the time of his decease at 81 40 a share, ! and which vas worth, after paying up! the instalments, SBBO,OOO.

What did Taney Say! i The Blcck liepublican Journals are iconstantly asserting that Judge Taney, m the Dred Scott decision, laid down he , ' declaration that negroes ‘have no right- . ■uhtch white men are bound to respect , Now the, following was the language ol , ! tie Judge in that decision: i ‘Thev bad for more than a century be- - ifo-e been regarded as beings of an inferiLrorder, and, although unfit to associate;, with the white race, either tn social or po-1 ilitical relations, and so far inferior that Hthey had no rights which tne white man | :was bound to respect. Now it will be observed that the Judge havs nothing about the rights of negroes ; but only that for mote than a jentury before the adoption ofour Consti- ( fition thev had been regarded as having: nh rights which white men were bound to I repeat. As the Providence Post re-, marks, he does not say they had no rights—he especially does not say they . ■have no rights.’ lie only refers to what . was the stale of public opinion, not on.y : here, but in Europe, a century ago. —And ; he distinctly recognizes the change winch ;, has taken place. Indeed lie says: It is difficult at this day to realize the state ot opinion in relation to that unfortunate race, which prevailed in the civilized and vniightened portions of u • world at , the time ot the Declaration, and when the : Constitution of the United States wasi framed and adopted.

A New way to pay old DebtsM inv years ago, when it was allowed to imprison men for debt in this State, an incorrigible fellow named Wainwright was confined in 'he j id of a neighboring ci; v, ,al an expense to his creditors of seven sliillings a week. After he had been in I prison several months, Wainwright sent 1 a note to every one of his creditors, in- ; forming them that he hud hit upon acer- ! tain mode of liquidating their demands I against him, and that if they would meet i him at the jail at a certain time he would at once arrange matters to their satisfac- . lion. This was pleasant news to the creditors, and at the appointed hour they were all assembled in lhe prisoner’s cell. As- 1 i ter a few preliminary observations Wain- ’ ■ huui cj»j*riT ills •lauftrnuc upvu the ? main topic. ‘You are now expending! seven soilings a week on my jail expenses,’) said he. ‘Now, what I propose is this:! i on let me out, of this infeinal place—| 'give me only five shillings a week, and | ,<et'the other quarter go towards paying off \ ' the deLt!'

Triumph of Law iu Xansas. Which ever way the election may result in Kansas it cannot be denied that it is a signal triumph of law and order over tho spirit of rebellion and anarchy. It is a vindication, complete and positive, of the principle of the Kansas-Nebrska act and : the policy of the administration. The Topeka Constitution and tLe Topeka gov. ernmet have been sacrificed by their own : friends. By submitting to the Territorial laws, bogus and despotic- as they have pronounced them, the Black Republican I party admits finally that they are valid, just and constitutional. In voting at lhe recent election under lhe Territorial laws ■ they pronounce judgment against ther .- i selves. They admit their responsibility tor the riots, tiie disturbances, the bloodshed and all lhe evils which have visile ! i lhe Territory and the country by their I rebellious acts. Tfießl.u k Republican ■ party of the nation are condemned by their own friends for aiding and abetting ■ discord and striie in “bleeding Kansas’ and encouraging opposition to constitutional government. The 'freedom shriekers’ are singing hallelujahs over lhe election in Kansas.— What ground have they for rejoicing? If a shameless confesssion of a wrongdoing is a cause for joy, then should Black Re- ' publicanism ri joiee. It opposed popular I sovereignty and pronounced the people incompetent and unfit to decide upon their own domestic institutions. It declared that Congress should usurp the power in a territory which properly belonged to its I citizens. It pronounced that American citizens divested themselves not o"ly of capacity, but the rights which they exercised as citizens of States, by becoming inhabitants of the territory. It refused I submission to the government, regularly and legally established. It set up a government of its own without authot ity and in defiance of law. They finally yield
