Wepublish to-day the results ofthe three
attempts made in this State to elect repre-
sentatives to the twenty-fifth Congress-
The circumstances connected with this
anomalous case will long be remembered,
and in after time will no doubt be often re-
ferred to as precedent, when the rights
of,he States, and the powers Of Congress
on the question of representation come in
conflict. We consider the result of the
April Election as the proudest triumph
of the principles which we advocate
Messrs Prentiss and Word planted them
selves firmly on the rights of the State
During the whole canvass, they maintain
ed and vindicated the prominent doctrine
of the Nullifers, that, decision or law o!
Congress is absolutely void, when it Con-
fcts with the reserved rights, or with
right secured by the Constitution of the
US. to the sovereign States orthis confed-
eracy; and although Nationalism and Abo-
lition, and every means, both fair and
foul, were resorted TO by the Administra-
ton party, to seduce the people from the
true question before them-all would not
do. They triumphed, and the victory
was the triumph of the principles of the
Nullifers.





In our columns will be found further re-
suits from the elections in other States
Although we cannot claim them all as tri-
umphs Of our principles we regard them as
favorable indications. They are the death
knell Of the party, or rather the Admins
tration which, under the hallowed name
of Democracy, gave ascendancy to the a
bominable consolidation principles of the
Proclamation and its offspring, the Force
Bill.


The days of the dynasty Of modern de.
mocracy are numbered. The corruption
ofthe past and present Administration has
become so apparent, that common honesty
shudders at the exhibition. The money
changers have taken possession Of the
temple Of the people, and the house of the
people is made den Of thieves. Witness
the Post Office Department, late develope'
ment Of tho conduct Of receivers Of public
moneys, &c. The people are honest as 9
body and will not sustain an Administra
ton which will screen ga looseness in the
code Of morals" of public officers, or make
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT paramount tc
the welfare Of the country. These are
the causes which have induced the people
10 desert the Van Buren dynasty, not thai
they prefer the political doctrines Of the
Nationals or Consolidationists.


And yet there are some quasi Nullifier'
who would have US come to the rescue ol
this sinking Administration, and loose our
existence--smothere under the ruins ol
its rotten fragments. We pity the faulty
ofsuch, aud think we are wise enough to
reject the invitation. II may be that the
Administration Of the Government fall
into the hands Of dpo,Ocd Copsolidationists
when the reign Of Van Buren is over,
Even in that event we will be gainers. Our
principles will have an open enemy, that
will sail under an enemy's Aag divestod Of
all the charms of popular party names.
Let the time arrive when we shall have
