Voting in Virginia. If 07 man want to see the matured fruit of the tree which the Democratic party has done so much to transplant into Kansas, and seems determined to prepare for everywhere, let him read the narrative of Mr. Stannard, published in another column. He was quiet a man, no politician, no participator in any political gathering, kept his opinions to himself and asked only the right to vote for Fremont, in Norfolk, Va. He did not tell any one how he meant to vote,' so he could be guilty of no "agitation." He did not urge nie views upon anybody, or publish them ia "incendiary documents." But yet he was handed back his ticket, refused to bo allowed to vote, though admitted to be n legal roter, was threatened with doath at the polls, and with pillage at his house, and all because he wanted to rote quietly for Fremont. This is the plain reading of the dexteriously constructed declarations of the Democratic creed. It is the legitimate fruit of their policy. Slavery is necessarily intolerant and bigoted, cruel and senseless. And the party that by assent permits, or active exertion promotes, its extension, performs in reality every act of this infamous Norfolk outrage wherever they exist. They are planting that which must, blind themselves to it as they will, and hide it at easy as they can, produce just such outrages everywhere. The uniformity of the results of this policy in Kansas, in Washington, in Virginia, in Georgia, aye in Indiana, must strike every man, and convince him, if not besotted with party malignity, that the growth is a natural one. Read Stannard'a story, and judge what we are yet to see if the Democratic party holds power, and keeps on its course unchanged. Ind. Jour. Sow Gov. Geary is Regarded In the Territory. The correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, writing from Lawrence under date of Nov. 12, says: "The Lecomptonitea are disposed to disregard Governor Geary about as a .a i i mucn as tney aia onannon, notwithstanding ha wishes it emphatically understood that ha occupies a more respectable position than tho President of the United States. Does not tha last wMk'i work prove to n mathematical demonstration that it's no use for free Statt men to complain before Pro Slavery officers? Geary's cry has been. 'Enter complaints and have them arrested.' But as soon as one of their party is arrested who is known to have murdered without any pretext whatever, a border ruflUn steps in and disperses the Court; the culprit ia released on bail, and will never be brought to justice, any more than the ,mu-derers of Dow, Barbar, Phillips and others, who are well known, and boast of the ' honor" of killing an abolitionist.

Foreign News War between England and Franoe, Probable. Now that the election is over, we have exciting uows from over tho wa tors. Tho lato European wnr ended as we supposed it would, without any advantage to the people. The revolutions which they began in 1048 have not gone back, nor accomplished what the people designed. Their condition is not ameliorrted in the least. Italy lies prt str .to under the feet of her civil and ecclesiastical tyrants, who are sustained by tho leading powers, with but an apology of interference from the latter, against the politic tl monstrosities of King Ferdinand, at tho extremity of tho peninsula, and some complimentary forbearances with Emanuel of Surdina the only continental sovereign who aims at u liberal policy. The Germanic governments all tend from bad to worse. France withers under tho Napoleonic despot- i ism. Her literary intellect is about defunct, her finances are confounded, 1 and her people, pressed by many suf- j ferings, are evidently fa t tending again to revolution. The placards of all dissentient parties (Orleanists, Lcgitimatists, Republicans, and Social-! ists ) reappear frequently on the walls j of Paris. A stupendous war has ab-; sorbed tho popular mind from domestie grievances for some time, but its stupendous expenses and loss of life are now claiming their consideration. In Paris, which is, politically, France, Napoleon has diverted tho metroplitan mind by magniGcient schemes of improvement, but they have nearly all been schemes for tho imperial ng-' grrndizement the restoration of royal palaces, and the extension of neigh-' boring streets. Vast masses of build-1 ings have been swept away; masses; equivalent to small cities. A singular policy has this been, to follow the rev- j olntionary outcries of the suffering and socialistic populace. It is beginning to have its reaction. The rich and aristocratic may rejoico in the embelishments of the gay capital ; a portion of the workmen have found cmploymcnt in tho changes ; but tbo poor generally have reaped only dis advantage from them. They arc ; pressed out of the city to find residences, and the suspension or comple-' tion of tho public works has thrown the workmen back upon the suffering mass. Meanwhile tho diplomatic strategy I of Napoleon begins to overshoot itself. ' His alliance with England was, evi-, dently, not the result of any correspondence of political tastes, or compatibility of. principles. It afforded ' him convenience in the Turkish strug-' gle ; that necessity being past, he attempted to secure tho double advantage of a close relation with Russia. He has been aping tho friendship of! his uncle with the former Alexander, and the French papers have not been able to repress the frequent indications of new and special intimacies! between the French and Russian courts. England has watched tho diplomatic schnme, and has provided ! for herself a counter i ' at Vienna : and now the AngK Im ich alliance seems to be about tw gl way to the double complication of an AngloAustrian and a Russo-l-Vench alliance.: The foreign news abounds in referen-1 ccs to these changes. Even tho most important and reliable papers com m i ut upon them with noticeable emphasis. The Times' Paris correspondent says : "Whether well founded or not, the! opinion is very general that, not only' does there exist a serious difference ; between Franco and England on more j than one point, but also that the lat ter has been completely reconciled to Austria, and that the former is now mi more than friendly terms with Kus sia and tin Almtrl irtu in I'nri. 1... .-I that it is not possible for two cabinets to be on more amicable terms than those of Vienna und London. That a corresponding sentiment prevails be- -" -ww . .. . Nil, IfUtlOl

tween Russia and Frnnce is equally believed, and a certain ex-minister of Louis Phillippe ia said to have recently offered to wager a resonable sum that England and Austria on one hand, and Russia and France on the other, would soon be more openly hostile." Tho Times' correspondent quotes a letter from Munich, which says : "Kngland is by no means natiafied with France, who seems indifferent about requiring from Russia the exocution of tho treaty of 30th March ; and England, perceiving this disposition, draws closer to Austria."

"At the risk (Daily News corres pondent) of uttering what the Monituer may perhaps denounco as an "odious calumny," I feel it an imperative duty to say emphatically that, instead of beim; in harmonius rela tions, the cabinets of London and Paris aro at this moment almost at daggers drawn. Tho difference between them on tho question of tbo execution of the treaty of Paris is most serious, and, as to what is to be done with Naples, they are absolutely at sixes and sevens. The Paris Journal des Dtbates also professes itself aware of tho shifting ground of tho alliance. It says : "European politics aro now subject to singular transformations, and the execution of tho treaty of Paris prepares for us each day some freshsurprisc. Ono of tko most curious is tho reconciliation that has been accomplished botwecn England and Austria, which the journal of the two countries now confide to Europe. The memory ia too full of the bitter and violent polemics indulged in only a short time ago by the English journals, with respect to what they termed tho machiavelism and duplicity of Austrian policy. But now everything is changed ; the most important English joursl (the Times) openly defends this very policy." "Straws show which wny (he wind blows;" while these diplomatic manniir, iv.. Kn J ,I,a r w v s. ornment paper (the Momteur) uMj had the audacity to provoke a quarrel ( with, not only tho English press, but the Entrlish DeoDie. about tho freedom of tho English newspapers in their references to Napoleon ; it has hinted the necessity of restrictions in this respect, which would overtuin the ltbei ty of printing in England, and it threatens serious censequences to tho ullianco if they are not adopted. Kngland could hardly bo struck in a more tender place. The London pa-! pers are of course indignant, and re- . A. . pel tho insult manfully. The history of modern Europe hard- , ly presents a more admonitory lesson ob political morals, than that which is conveyed in tho results of the foreign policy of England, from the days of the first Napoleon to the present time, i She has been slow to learn it, and W ' seems about to bo again reminded of

it by new entanglements, if not retri-j100 I 1 I '; cerbutions.

prevented, will probably have snothcr opportunity in the upahot of those new complications. That is their ap parent tendency at least. Revolutions, it has been said, return, upon an average, every fifteen years, in Europe; the time for another seems not far off. With their abundant evils, wo believe they do good, and are impulses forward to the masses. The religious usurpations which havc been made under the last reaction, have, alone, become intolerable, and need another revolution to break them up.

At the lato session of Congress, $75,000 were appropriated for the purpose of purchasing and introducing into this country, various kinds of seeds and cuttings, to be distributed by the patent office, to every part of the country. What has become of il? Gone for the national purpose of fitting out n vessel and sending it after a load of sugar cone I It is not enough that wo pay a hoavy tariff on sugar, but 875,000 must be paid to furnish planters with cuttings and seeds to enable them to make money enough to live on. That's tho way tho money goes tho national money. There is nothing national, that dots not contribute to southern speculators and profit.

"Bleeding Kansas." The pro-slavery demagogues who feared the effect of news from Kans as, before tho election, pronounced it

all a lie. "Bleeding Kansas" was, with them, a phrase of derisiou. Now that the election is over, and the pro-slavery party has every thing in its grasp, tho sufferings of Kansas arc real. Though late, we are glad that they acknowledge tho fact. We aro glad too, that they aro moving towards rcleiving the uuffercrs. It is to Into to -ran; them real relief, by re moving tho cause of their troubles, but not too lato to afford temporary relief to the women and children of that down trodden territory. We copy the following from tho Washington Union ona of the papers that a month ago said all this cry about "Bleeding Kansas" woru mero political lies : An Earnest App eal for the Sufferers In Kansas. When wo reflect upon tho occurrences in Kansas during the past Summer and Autumn, wo cannot fail to be deeply impressed with tho condition of hor peoplo during the coming winter. Her settlements are distant from grnnaricH nud storehouses of tho States. Had her sotlcrs been permitted to plant and harvest undisturbed, she could have produced but a small portion of,' tho provision necessary for tho Winter. But we know that few planted and scarcely one harvested,'owing to tho frightful disorders and atrocities which filled the land. The meats and breadstuff of Kansas are limited to more trifling quantities. Of clothing, her domestic manufactures have produced none. Owing to the distance of transportation and its hazards, tho precariousness of credit and uncertainty of returns, provisions and clothing aro sparingly sent to Kansas, and aro held ut enormous prices. Tho few who can command means to provide themselves for winr u l appiti I mir r-oai a-. M .. . I I , liut WÖÄt ,s to become 01 the thousands - hohave neither means, credit, nor friends ? With more than four months of winter before them, and ,ul1 '2ut ef-re a harvest, what is to become of such men und their helpless lamilies ? They have not the means to returu to their former homes and none lo supply lad ispensi I ible wants where they are. If the coming winter partakes of tho severity of the past, a hundred must p i i 1 1 by cold and famine where ono ha fallen in the recent civil war. Unless early nnd efficient measures are adopted to guard against famine in Kansas, no e onü C1U1 u. inu 1,ai1HI fonsequen. ces to which it may lead lirst, in tho despairing effort to sustain and pro0K )jföf ,tnd then in the work of death itself.

If the Union has to be dissolved, as it certainly has, the sooner the better, say somo of the papers and politicians. The Charleston Murcury and New Orleans Delta are particularly urgent. The Richmond Enquirer h however more moderate. It thus reasons with its cotemporaries : In the Cincinnati Convention, Mr. Buchanan was not the first choie of n majority of the Southern Democrncy. nui ms nomination was accented with (Satisfaction: and hu WAS Mimuirft ,1 in .1 .1 li i-i . .. me oouiu wiin unexamined unan muv.

Buchanan would come up to tho full measure of our wants and demands. uoii, nau me wen uueniea rairness and friendliness of his disposition towards tho South. lie received the almost unanimous vote of the South, without which his election would have been an impossible aehivnment. He is, therefore, in some sort, the President of the South not in a sectional sense, but in the sene that he owes his election chiefly to the support of the South. Why, then, should any southern man anticipate his administration with distrust? He was elected under pledges (implied in the principles of thn plattorm) which We all accepted as satisfactory in the pro gresa ot the ennvass , and, its these pledges wcro in harmony with his antecedents and with the spirit of the northern Democracy, there is no reason to npprehend their violation. In any event it will bo time enough to suspect Mr. Buchanan and to oppose his administration, when ho discovers . : 1 .1 1 . m . by some unequivocal act of bad faith, that he does not deserve the confidence nnd sunnort of thn South. The South occupies n precarious position in the confederacy, and to austaio herself she has need of every artificial support. I'rutlenoa ahouhi bo iio predominant prinoiple of her statesmanship while she ia content to rr

remain in the Union. In the North there is a party well effected to her interests. The President elect is pledged Uj protect her rights. For ourselves we find independently of the obligations of party, abundant reason to solicit tho alliance of the Federal Executive. Such being tho case, we would strengthen rather than destroy the integrity of tho Democratic organization ; so that when the final conflict comes (if como it must,) the South may not find herself utterly friendless and alone. 8uch being the case, we mean to support Mr. Buchanan's administration, in the confident belief that tho South will never regret her agency in his election. Will not our friends of the Delta and Murcury announce tho same resolution.

What the Palmettos think of Buch' anan's Election. We find, in the Charleston S. O.J Courier, of the 14th, a reply to Mr. Rhett's manifesto, by Richard Yeadon of tho same Elate. This production possesses somo interest, as showing what they think about the effect of Mr. Buchnnan's election on the freedom of Kansas and tho spread of Free Labor. The portions of tho letter which wo have taken the liberty of italicising, we recommend to the special attention of thoso administration newspapers and stump speakers in the North, who have so pertinaciously assorted through the campaign that tho success of the socalled Democratic party would not be favorable to slavery propagandism.

Cuba Must be Annexed We were expecting fillibusters to receivo aid and comfort from the in-coming administration, but we were not prepared to findjthe scheme of stealing Cuba, if it can't bo bought, so early and so earnestly advocatcd'by the Northern aupportersof Mr. Buchanan.

Tho Cincinnati Enquirer of the 27th ult., thus argues in behalf of this Bchcme: Experience has shown that Democracy only growa weak when it is sta tionary. Though the course pursued during the last two years, was that which duty, patriotism nnd the Constititution demanded ,it win a strictly conservative one, and exposed tho party to all the dangers and weakening effects inoident to such a position, and the consequent struggle with an ultra, bitter, violent, sectional opposition, which, though defeated, is not conquered, but still preserves its organization, nourishes Its hostility, and is already marshaling its forces for another combat The true policy the best taotios for the Democracy in such a contest, is to present an issue which appeals to and excites the national feelings of the people. At foreign wars invariably heal internal dissensions, so do certain questions never fail to kindle in the breasts of our people a patriotic fervor, which extinguishes all sectional hates and party jealousies, and unites the great mass in one purpose, for the promotion of thu common glory of the nation. Of this character are all propositions for the enlargement of our boundaries, and tho acquisition of rich and valuable territory, which may add greatly to our commeruial, political and national power 'controlling idea of our people is, that destiny has marked this continent for j occupation of this great, all-conquer-ana weaun. ine arreat leadinir and ing Anglo-Saxon race; that our mi ion to this end has proceeded steadily i onward with a regularity which evln. ' ees n great superintending authority nnu sanciion, ana assumes all me cer 1 tainty of a law of uatnre. ' The acquisition of Louisiana, and Florida, and Texas, gave greater strength to our political system and irom tneir sectional contentions lo a I ' new field of enterprise and patriotic ambition.

It will crive slavcj ry a further inclination southward, drawing it off from regions which it now desolates, and thereby opens new nelds ot tree labor. It will gratify the philanthropy of the age, which regards slave) y as a great, though it may be an unavoidable social wrong, by placing that institution under the control of the race which has modified its offensive characteristics, and bringing to a conclusion the execrable traffic to which its existence on our continent is due. Of its commercial consequences lo the great shipping, manufacturing nnd agricultural interests, ii would argue a small estimate of tho intelligence of our readers, were we to enter into any formal demonstration. Indeed, when we commenced this article, we did not intend to go so far as we have. Our object was only to express the belief that those who imagine ami express the belief that Mr. Buchanan's Administration will be a stand-still, uprogressive, conservative one, will be sadly disappointed, and that no one understands better than he that the policy of our party and its pledges, as well as the great . - M ., a . . . - . , "lerests ot the nation and the Union, require that a practical direction and . application should be given to the wise und nntrinl if vinurs i( k ( mf an A Man. - r - a - . i ifesto.

Mkshks Editors: As various and somewhat incorrect reports are in circulation respecting what occurred at Norfolk, Virginia, in consequence of my vote in that city, at the late Presidential electi n, I desire to make a onset statement of the faoV. I formerly resided in Fair Hoven, where my family are now, and ever have been, but having myself been engaged for several years past in- the commission business in Norfolk, and having paid taxes there, and to the best of my abilities discharged my du lies as a cilisen of that plana, I feave considered il my residence and in tho spring of 1055 1 offered i vote at their electi election, when upon a full a M a a I . . M rm statement oi my case to tne proper ' authority, und with their knowledge j that my family were here, it was deelded that I was entitled to vote there nd I did so. I have never in any way meddled w':'1 the subject of slavery having no inclination, or, as I believed, any right to do so consequently there : been no ill reeling towards me on that account. Uelore tne election many political meeting were held in Norfolk, but I did not attend any of them, nor did I converse with any one on the subject, except on one occasion in answer to an inquiry made by a friend, and then for a moment only. But, al though neither an abolitionist nor a politician, I examined the subject as a question of duty for me, as well as lor ''V('ry citizen of the United States, u" ' I made up my mind that the eleotion of Fremont would bo best for all sections of the country, and determined to vote for him not dreaming that under our republican government nnd ln the Democratic State of Virginia, any one would question my right to do so. On the day of election I heard one gentleman ask another at ! .1 W y-v ar a , t tne rosi urnce whom lie should vote hurried me tnrough the crowd, and then left me, and I proceeded through violent storm of wind and rain to my boarding house, and from thence to my store. I afterwards returned to the bouse, and when at the supper tabla I heard persons speak of the vole which hod been oilered at the polls for Fremont those who spoke of il not knowing by whom the vote was offered, and therefore apeaking freely of it in fflV presence. FfOra What I saw and heard at the polls, and what was said at the table, I was apprehensive that I had misundestood my rights as an Amerieau citisen, and had, though unconsciously, so offended public sentiment by ray vote as to be in danger of popular violence, and I therefore went from the table to my room, and locked the door. Soon afibis I heard some ono inquire for me and the landlady sent a servant lo y door to say that a gentleman wished to see roe. On learning that n? wss alone, I invited him to my I room, and he aaid that be came by request of another person (whom be! named,) to ask me if I had offered to Villi- lill Tl'miin I n la1 " '' - -. m ,,,,.,, e..i- t I a ..,. men inquired, "What was your motive?'' And I told him that I conscientiously believed it my duty to do so. tie tuen said, "1 am requesed to advise you not to appear ia the street to-night;" and I replied that I should not go out of tbo house. He retired, but soon after returned, and said. "Mr. F. wishes to see you at the door." I told him that I should not leave my room that night, but that if Mr. F. wished to see me he might como to my room fie then left me. nd another person came to my do ir. ud informed roe that Mr. I was not at the front door, but that several men whom he named were there ; and 1 knew those men to be some of the most dasperate characterain Norfolk. This w in the evening, and by the city

lamps I could see from my window a collection of persons in the street whose numbers increased until late in the night, and I heard their threats of violence to my persoa, and destruction to my property. Towarda morning a fire occurred, and an engine passed near by, which diew after it a portion of those around the bouse, and attracted for a time the attention of others, and I took the opportunity to leave the house unobserved, and went to a place of con sealment. Whilst in my biding place. eome friends took pains to ascertain whether it was prudent for me to apl I L.M. S r

jjeur again in purine, ana tn-v louna 4 such a atsje of excitement and exas peration existing in consequence of my vote that my life would be in danger if I was discovered. They also found that he customary routes of travel to the North were closely watched, although many believed that I bad already left the city. Karly in the morning of th second day after my unfortunate vote. I caped from the eity by an unusual route, and in disguise, and made my way to my family ; and I hope now, that when the excitement has passed, I may safe y return to Norfolk, at least to remain until I can settle up my affairs in that plaee. T. STANNARD. Fair Haraw, Nov. 17, 1856. I Frees la n a York Beealas Peel. Dred and Uncle Tom. An immense number of copies of Mrs. Stowe's new work has already been sold, but with all its popularity there is, aa ia natural, much diversity of opinion tespecting its merits. It is called by many a second "Uncle Tom;" by some regarded as superior and by others as inferior to that work; but by nearly all it is estimated with reference to that work as a atandard. This is a mistake. It is neither better nor worse than its predecessor, but widely different; aod it is the want of attention to this difference which occasions tha diversity of opinion. Both works are animated with th same general purpose to hold up the system of slavery to the abborance of the world, and to strike a blow for iu removal; but the immediate purpose, tho means through which the principal end is tobe uttained, are different. In "Uncle Tom" the system is portrayed though the medium of a romance, and the stirring picture is left without explanation ov comment to work upon the heart. The author strikes the intellect through the affections. Her purpose did not require her to blend moralising with romance, or to deviate from narrative into the reg on s of didactic instruction. The interest of the novel is not for a moment lost. But there was a want which Uncle Tom did not supply. The world desires to know, with it calmer faculties, what the real nature of such a system is what are its legal and social foundations bow it came to exist, and bow it is possible for it to continue what views are entertained of it by those who fell more immediately its results, and what are the obstaoles in the way of its removal; and these questions she has answered in "Dred." The system is here exhibited in its length and breadth, height and depth fastened upon the slave by the iron gripe of the law rivitcd upon society by the combined force of self interest and prescriptive opinion. The struggles which virtue and humanity make against it, the desperate defenses which present interest and passion throw around it, the high aspirations and fearful passions it excites in the breast of the slave, are all depicted, and with the power and skill and candor which are to be found in this author alone. Adopting the romance as a means to arrest and preserve the attention, she does not hesitate to depart trom it, as her purpose may require. Less interesting than "Unc! Tom," "Dred" is far more instructive; inferior as a work of the imagination and of narrative genius, it is far superi r os'a work of the reason and intellect. It will have fewer readers than "Uncle Tom," and less influence over or dinary minds; but we venture to say that no book has yet been written which discovers so profound an insight into the system of slavery, or which carries with it so completely the conictions of the intelligent and thoughtful reader. Dr. Keely yet keeps a supply on hands. Let the book be read by the thousands and the millions. Its lifelike pictures of the institution that governs the country will instruct the reader. What he sees slavery in Car olina, is what slavery will be in Kansas 60 years hence, unless prevented now. A Good Law. Mr. Coburn, of Indianapolis, suggests, as the readiest way to prevent illegal voting, that a law be passed providing no man shall vote unless he has resided six months in the township or precinct; and if the voter i challenged, that he shall prove his residence by at least two resident voters. "You may corrupt a register," he says, "but you cannot corrupt two voters for every man who may be chal lengod." Exchange. We are glad to find the papers of Indiana agitating the necessity of a more stringent election law, but we predict none will be passed. One will pass tho Senate, but there will be constitutional objections t. it in the House. Let it be made a felony to vote illegally, and provide for a summary method of arresting the felons and the work is done. All registry law, or any law thai has no penalty, will be useless. No danger of any one voting illegally, if ha is likely to go to tka penitentiary two years for it,
