Premature Joy. " The victory achieved by the Democra cy is a glorious one. Our cup of joy is full to the brim, and would be running over, had not a few friends been defeated whom We had hoped to see elected. Some of them have only fallen behind a few votes, which might easily have been overcome. The majority in the Legislature, however, will be large enough for practical purposes. They will have the control of both Houses, and will elect a State Treasurer and United States Senator. When the smoke of'the battle disappears, we will take a general survey of the field.' So says the Harrisbtirg " Union" of the election held a fortnight ago in Pennsylva nia. But the " National Intelligencer" thinks that enough is already known to show that, although the Democrats how have the prestige of victorjr and materials for the present jubilation, they are building their hopes upon' a rather unsubstantial foundation. It is scarcely worth while a gain to enumerate the cause which have given this apparent triumph. Il is sufficient to say, that besides the positive aid they derive from the absurd mingling of the liquor and abolition issues, this peculiarity in the contest induced thousands of Whigs to remain passive and keep aloof from the polls. An analyzation of the returns shows that the whole vote of the State at the late elec tion was 61,240 less than in 1842,"and 35, 983 less than in 1854. This shows conclu sively that the election cannot be relied up on as a test of strength of parties in Penn sylvania upon national politics. The elec tion of Mr. Plumer as Canal Commission er, so far from showing a Democractic gain, exhibits an absolute css, even if il; were pretended (as it is not) that he received none other than Democratic votes. Here is a comparison of his vote with that .given for the Democratic candidate last year,: For Gov. Bigler, 1854. 167,001 For Mr. Plumer, 1855. 161,281 Democratic loss, 5,720 Then, if we compare the vote for Mr Plumer with the combined opposition vote, it shows him to be in a minority : For Mr. Nicholson, - - 149,745 Scattering, about - - 14,000 163,745 161,281 For Mr. Plumer Majority against Plumer, 2,461 The vote at the Presidential election in 1852 amounted to 386,266 ; this year it on ly reaches 325,026; showing that at least 61,240 voters did not this year exercise their right of suffrage. The vote for Gen. Scott in 1852 was 179,174, and that for Mr. Hale 8,524. These together make 187,698 votes. The num ber cast for Mr. Plumer this year is only 161,281, which shows a deficit of 26,417 votes. From these facts it is evident that when all the side issues are dispensed with, and the Presidential candidates are presented upon the tests which apply to a regular ; Democrat and a sond constitutional Whig, the former must rally from 25,000 to 30,000 votes to secure a victory. Register. quick Work. i; I would work the guillotine by steam, by G d." Geo. Sakdehs. . We thought this sentiment so much ap plauded by such of the Admirals auditory as understood the English language, was but the metaphorical exasperation of the Red Republan against the Oppressors of his trans-Atlantic brethren. But we find, from the proceedings of the late Naval Board, that the sanguinary hyperbole of the Admiral has been literally realized by that nautical inquisition. A correspondent, who seems to have been " keeping time' on the reform committee, furnishes us with memoranda, from which the following astounding offici al mortality appears : The Naval Board convened 20th June, and adjourned 26th July, 1855.

Cresent. Catholicism and Popery vs. Slavery. The BaltimorO Democrat!' publishes the famous Allocution-of PoDe: Grecorv XVI.. issued on the 3d -of, November, 1 839, which professes to be,!-agaiust the -African slave trade ; , but it far transcends the limit of that question, and addresses itself to all by whom the blacks "are bought and sold and reduc ed to the hardest labors.' A work issued by Balmes, received as orthodox by the Pa pists, understands the allocution as intend ed to embrace not the mere question of sup pressing the African slave trade, but Slave ry in its widest sense, Balmes speaks of it as- evincing not only the " ideas and feel ings; of the Sovereign Pontiff" but as " an interesting history of the solicitude of the JRoinaft . See in favor of the slaves of the .whole Universe !" f:In this sense it was understood by O'Con nell, .who in his address to his countrymen in America, upon this subject, four years af- iter, (in 1843,) refers to it in the following terms - . . ;h?rAtialLeyents, every Catholic knowshow distinctly. slave holding and especially slave -trading is condemned r by the Catholic Church! jicThatarfost eminent man, his Hnlir ness the'.Jresent Pope has by all allocution mhlisheditloDQugh).u3i'th world, condemned -all dealiiig.andjtraiofiii slaves.

H D". '-)lr..;J J.r ; -: '-ft.- : . - , " . cannot have anvproperty in another man. Irishmen, I call on you to join in crushing slavery, and giving liberty to eve ry man, of every caste and color." The Catholics of Maryland understood it in this sense, says the " Democrat," for the Catholic establishment in Prince George's county anticipated it by selling all their slaves to Governor Henry Johnson, of Loui siana, for the sum of 860,000. A similar establishment in St. Mary's county, like wise, made a practical commentary upon it, by selling out their slaves. Besides, , it is believed that not a single Roman Catholic priest in the whole United States owns a slave, while there are slave holders among the clergy of every Protestant denomina tion. But all this is not necessary. The work of Beimes,, which has gone through four editions in this country, suffijciently. proves that it always has been, and still is, the ob ject of the; Catholic Church to, abolish slave ry everywhere. No less than five. long chapters devoted to the subject, and it is handled with infinite ability. , . . National American. , Smart Children. .
