• Yer. it was. till UU4 (hot Dr. Wiley La i ja'nl, Lillian was dying. Already the tvM .ii-nili damp wo* gathering fast upon her cheek and the glnssy brilliancy of, death was radiating from her eye. AI- j landy too a iptietuv had come o'er her heart** throbbing* as ehe lay there so*till «nd motiunle.-.s. lint a few months since, riia gamboled wl|d through shady nook, j over rocky knolls, beside laughing rillsi ivitbuoyant and light as the fawns j in forest glade, while clustening curls' dancer! to the music of the sunny breeze around a brow that liesjtrtke intellect and • thought, beneath which melting blue eyes | told of hope and happiness. Oh yes, vvo' all, from grandmother peering out'from j behind her spectacle.*, iownto the petted j wee one of hot twenty noons, loved Lil- 1 lian. She was so gentle, so Lind, it seemed wicked not to love her. Evouj sober |aunt Hattie would rni?e her eyes | and look with admiration upon Lillian as blieihasled ou with her vai-o of flowers in which wiiro so neatly arranged, honey* suckles, geraniums, pinks, rotes, jessa* minos.wtlh sprigs of cvcrgnen to givc.lo the sick lady across the. way. Lillian -aid she lomi the evergreens best for in her mind "they were emblamntical of lasting affection” and she added badly as a tear ttnlc into her eye, "old Mrs. Hill will think 1 shall remember her when limy Jny'hcr beneath the. old elm in the parish ground." ■ ■
When we began our exposure of the, means by which tho lato election bad been; carried we bad of the extent and) bftseno.'J of tho frarirhj we were to cncoun- j ter. We kucvv had witness*; oil in many fdrracr dictions tho modes of; operation by which the "old line" party! over-tide ft hostile public will, that gross frauds lay oi tho bottom of the largo votes! of Alien. Dearbom,tG?raiikliu. Shelby, and all the counties along the Wabash; but wc did no; know that even "old line” desperation cmild <*Imc such length* of iniquity ns the evidence proves they have gone, W*» have presented already proof enough to invalidate the whole election. Frauds covering more than Willard's whole majority have hctn established in Allen, Wabash, Huntington, Warren, Pm be, Tippecanoe, Laportc, Marshall, Fulton, Marion, Shelby, Morgan, Hcnd ricks. Look at the "old line" vole in this county, swelling at once one thousand, out of an entire increase of only fourteen hundred. If fraud does not build up that vote it is impossible to find fraud in election*. Look at the increase of eighty In the'lit lie town of browmdmrg, within a week;of tho election; at a larger increase in Mdmbtqwii within a few days of the election \ aiid all that inmate upon the Buchanan side. Look at -tho increafftr in Allen county; the township in whicbiFoit Wayno lieu. The Republican vote,growing only with the naturalized increase of tho place, gains one hundred, while the Buchanan vole gains four times as much. Aie not these fact* significant? Look agi.in at the vote of Hancock co., a* dissected in n communication in another column, whore the "old line" vote still swells with a vast iucrea-o over all possible growth in the ordinary course of iro proveinent. Take the vote of Tippecanoe county. The Republican iucreanj has been about two hundred. The Buchanan [increase bus been—look at it, leaders—- | one thousand and sixty-tuo; jive times the i Ikpwhltmt g-rip., though there, ns here, | hundreds of Germans left the pro-slavery (ranks and voted the Republican ticket. | We admit that any "old liner" has ini-jpmU-nce Miougli to face these facts, hut J the- whole party has not ability enough to explain them away ItoneMly. [ Here arc a few more developments which I wc commend to tho special attention of | those who talk about contesting seats on I account of illegal votes. That is n twohanded game, gentlemen, and pon’il see rhat it shall be played out. Tho died you think to produce upon the Presidential election by it is all fudge. Tbe/uc/j are telling who did the swindling, and where; And putting on an air of injured innocence won't make anybody, believe you the less rascally, though it may improve their confidence iu your hypocrisy. But to our facts. ;*■ :

XST The result <jf the recent election has conclusively shown that the people of this conutiT are now divided into two • ■ * f ’ . great sectional parties, to-wh: AAor.hera party and a Southern party, There i* no tree uf concealing this fact, for the recent election 1ms demonstrated the fact that North and South alike have refused to support' a national, compromise can* didste. Wo have for sometime regard- 1 fd Mr. Fillmore a* the only candidate before the people who could settle the difficulties and differences now existing bo.ween th« two contending sections ol onr country. Wo are satisfied that Mr. Buchanan cannot do it; the great majority of tho people haro no. confidence in him, and he is eluded by a mere minority of the voles of the people. The issne upon which this contest wn» fought and decided, was the exUntion or rfttriction of slavery. Tho Buchanan patty, is in favor of its extension, while the Fremont party was in favor of the restriction of it. It has been decided in favor of Buchanan, only, however, by a minority of the poople. The remit will bo, the admission of Kansas u» a Have Elate, and to extend slavery into all the Territory of th» Government, to as to give the South and the Democratic party tho reins of the Government for all time to come.

A further remit wilt be, the formation and united'action of a still stronger and more determined Northern party.

Th« people have said, by their tolas, "the day of compromise is past.” The question is now an open one, and it must ami will bo decided in some way. Either slavery must be restricted or it «ni U cxfendod, If the South has her. own way, it will be extended; if the Forth has her way, it wilt ho restricted.
