STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER. GETTYSI3VEGIT. PENN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1838. - .NVo ask tho attention of certain persons to tho following orticlo on Gratuitous .fldvertising. Every body knows, or ought to know, that the publishing business is one of large expenso--omploying n great number of persons, and an extensive capital; that ev ery paragraph set costs a certain sum of money in the composition, or setting up of the typo, and occupies n certain space which ought to yield a proportion of income to the proprietors. Every body must know, too, that the mein source of this income is the portion of the shoot devoted to advertise ments, and that to ask tho gratuitous loser• lion of an advertisement, or of a communi cation, or an editorial notice to serve in the place of one, is literally asking the publish• er to incur an expense of a dollar or more without making him a farthing in return. It is to all intents and purposes asking him to take a sum of money from his pock et and present it to the applicant. Yet this thing is done every day, and many times every day ; and that too by men who have no earthly claim on the charity of the pub lisher, and who can without adverting to the fact that the object, of the advertisement or communication, is to promote their interest, and not that of the publisher. There are scores of persons who would never dream of walking into a tailor's shop and asking for the gift waistcoat, or into a hatter's and bogging to be favored free gratis with a hat, yet can see no impropri ety in calling upon the publisher for the gratuitous announcement of a course of lec tures, or a patient fly-trap, or any other no tion, in tho bringing of which !Moro the pub: - lie they happen to have an interest. TUE CASH SYSTEM—The publishers of all the Newspapers in Mobile, have come to the resolution to adopt the cash system en tirely in the prosecution of their business, and in making this determination, notify the public, that ao transient advertisement will be published until paid for, that all annual contracts for advertising and subscription. for city or country must be paid for in ad vance, and all job work to be paid for before delivered. This is the proper course and should be adopted by the profession through out the country. All the materials used in a printing office—paper, ink and labor, are cash articles which must be paid for most usually on the spot. Lot the system be a dopted to keep no books except your list of subscriberaand there will be more indepen• dance in the press. The "Key of Death:, ccj•ln the collection of the curiosities preset ved in the Arsenal at 'Venice, there is a key. of which the following singular tradition is related: "About the year-1600, one of these dan gerous men, in whom extraordinary talent is only the fearful source of crime and wick edness beyond that of ordinary men, came to establish himself as a merchant or trader in Venke. The stranger,whose name was Tebaldo; became enamored of the daughter of an ancient house, already affianced to an other. He demanded her in marriage,and was of course rejected. Enraged at this, he studied how to be revenged. Profoundly skilled in the mechanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until he had invented the most formidable weapon which could be im agined. This was a key of a large size,the handle of which was so constructed, that it could be turned round with little difficulty. When turned it discovered a spring, which, on pressire, launched from the other end a needle or lancet of such subtle fineness, that it entered into the flesh and buried itself tbere without leaving external trace. Te. baldo waited in disguise, at the door of the church in which tho maiden whom he loved was about to receive tho nuptial benediction. The assassin sent the slander steel, unper ceived into the breast of the bridegroom.— The wounded man had no suspicion of injury, but, seized with sudden and sharp pain in the midst of the ceremony, he fainted, and was carried to his house amid the lamenta tions of the bridal party. Vain vas all the skill of the physicians, who could not divine the cause of this strange illness, and in a few days he died. 'Abel& again demanded the hand of the maiden from her parents,and received a se cond refusal. They too perished miserably in a few days. The alarm which these deaths, which appeared almost miraculous, occasioned, excited the utmost vigilance of the magistrates; and when on close examin ation of the bodies,the small instrument was found in the gangrened fiesh,terror was uni versal: every one feared fur his own life.— The ma . ..!en, thus cruelly orphaned, had passed the first months of her mourning in a convent, when Tebaldo, hoping to bend her to his will, entreated to speak with her at the grate. The face of the foreigner had been ever displeasing to her, but since the death of all those most dear to her, it had become odious, (as though she had a preset). timent of his guilt) and her reply was most decisive in the negative. Tebaldo, beyond himself with rage, attempted to wound her through the grate and succeeded; the ob. scurity of the place prevented his movement from being observed. On her return to her room the maiden felt a pain in her breast and uncovering it, she found it spotted with a single drop of blood. The pain increased; the surgeons who hastened to her assistance, taught by the past, wasted no time in con• jecture, but cutting deep, into the wounded part, extracted the needle before any mortal mischief bud commenced,and saved the life of the lady. The state inquisition used eve ry means to discover the band which dealt 00 0 0 insiduous and irresistible blows. The visit of Tebaldo to the convent ceased 8119- plait= to fall heavily upon him. His house was carefully searched,the infamous weapon discovered, and ho pet ished on the gibbet. The Mariinsvi!lo (1.a.) Gazette, says: 44 11 it pleasing lo hear from all quarters Ihni the CM* of cane, cotton, and es , ' h, will he ueutually good this )oar." Vitrification "of an• ancient Proverb.

A new bank is to be established at Bur• falo,under the new banking law,with a capi tal of $200,000. A CHANCE pea SINGLE LADIES.—IG Scott county, lowa, after a residence of four days, the last single lady found a market on the 19th ult. A correspondent writes, 'our gentlemen are three to one, and so anxious are our settlers for wives, that they never ask a single lady her age. All they require is teeth. POPULATION.—Spain has an average of 63 individuals to the square mile, Scotland 72, Denmark 76, Massachusetts 78, Con necticut 73, Rhode Island 62, New York 44, New Jersey 38, Maryland 32, Pennsyl. vania 29, New Hampshire 28, Vermont 28, Ohio 29, South Carolina 18, Virgitila 17, Tennessee 17, North Carolina 15, Maine 12, Indiana 18, Georgia 9, Alabama 6, Louisiana 5, Mississippi 2, Illinois 3, Mis souri 2. The Mormons of Missouri, of whose lawless proceedings wo spoke some days shut), are, it is said, about to be reinforced by parties of the same sect from the British provinces. It is no l wonder that the people of Missouri are heartily sick of such fami ly& associates, and doubtless our neighbors the Cairildiaus are well pleased at getting rid of them. We learn that his Majesty the King of the French has directed that the order of Knight of the Legion of Honour be con ferred on our countryman WILLIAM B. HoncsoN, a native of NVashington county. BALTIMORE, Oct. 6, 1838. BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD.--A meeting of the stockholders of this company was held yesterday, which adjourned over to the 19th December next. The reasons for the adjournment were stated by the President, and met with the entire approba tion of the meeting. Of one thing we were fully satisfied, that every effort is being made to remove the obstacles in the way of the prosecution of the work, and that these aro gradually and certainly yielding to the exertions of the able head of the Company. The road passes through three States,upon the legislation of all which it is dependent, and is affected, as may readily be supposed, by various and often conflicting local inter ests—to accommodate, conciliate, or over come which, necessarily requires patience and time. We felt satisfied, yesterday,how ever, that it would not be long before the work would bo recommenced with a clear field before it, and with a certainty of be ing pushed forward to completion. It is one that involves many. difficulties, and the best guarantee of its success will be found in the cordial and unanimous support of the community.—American. The steam ship Great Western sailed from New York for England on Thursday afternoon, with 140 passengers, and the Express adds that she could have had 100 more if she could have accommodated them. It is estimated that the specie -she carried out for remittances and belonging to passen• gem, was from 8400,000 to $500,000. $150,000 which came from Philadelphia were taken on board on the day of her Baling. On Tuesday night, the Print Works at Tiverton, Massachusetts, a large three story stone building■, and the whole of n large wooden building, except ono end, in winch way the count ing. mum, were destroyed by tire, with 3,000 pieces of g,uuds, cud most of tho magnify& There was insurance for 10,000 dolldWftt the American, in Provi. dence, and 4000 dollars on the building and 5000 dollars on tho stock at the "Etna, in Hartford. FLOUR IN MAINE.—A late number of the Eastorn Republican states that tho quality • laine Wheat was never better than the present yenr,although the quantity is not so great as last year. A BASK ROnBED•—The Commercial Bank at Perth Amboy was broken into on Saturday night or Sunday morning. The banking house is a frame building, through one side of which the thieves effected an en trance, but as fur as we have been able to learn, they obtained but an inconsiderable booty. SHOCKING ATTEMPT OF A MOTHER TO MURDER HER INFANT.-011 Tuesday fore• noon, while Mr. Cramer, foreman of the Chemical Factory, %vas standing nt his door at the foot of 33d street, he observed a dash ing looking female pass down to the dock and throw into the %voter what appeared a bundle. Ilia curiosity was excited, and go ing to tho wharf ho saw,to his astonishment, an infant float to the shore, being thrown up by the wave made by_the steamboat 'l'ele graph,which was passing. It was found to be a fine child about three weeks old, and is doing well. The child was christened Hud son Alases• A PADDY ' S IDEA OF ' I ' RACELLINO.— s sure• ly, said Pat these Yankees are great travel. lers--they travel 60 or 70 miles a day,while I have hard work to travel 25 or 20; hut there's not so great a difference after all,for they don't more than half travel the ground over, whilst I travel both sides of the road for the most part. A stove has been invented in New York, called "the poor man's stove," which the patentee offhrs to furnish, together witl the pipe, and cool enough to burn thruugh the winter for fifteen dollars. A Royal decree has lately been issued at Naples, authorizing fathers, and they being dead, mothers, having the concurrence of two friends of the family, to send their un• married daughters into convents. This is applicable to the children whether they have attained their majority or not. REMEMBER THE SABBATH. DAY.—The population of Smyrna, professing three dis tinct religions, observe three different Sab baths; the Mohammedans Friday; the Jews Saturday, and the Christians Sunday. "The religious festivals of the Greeks," says a traveller, "often terminate in midnight orgies which debase and degrade the Christian in the eyes of the pious Mussulman." The Stockbridge and Brothertown Indians, on their reservation on the east Bid? of Lake W innebago, have this year raised, we are informed, enough bread staff for their own consumption. AN URCHIN OF MANY MOTITERS.--A little boy about ten years of age, said to his play mate—" John, was that your mother 1 saw at your house?" "Yes," replied tho little urchin, "but father's other wife was my wen mother, and the one before her was my mother too, but sho died before I was born!" "Ministers of the Gospel" are excluded from all civil offices in New York, by the Constitution. RATTLE SNAKES AGAIN. — We are infor• tried, that recently, whilst Mr. D. !Wailingly and wife were on a whortelberry excursion near Sung Run, in the Glades, in this coun ty, they killed eighty at one time, and wounded four that escaped. This is pretty well, considering too, that a lady should have participated in the fun of snake killing. She must be'admitted to possess lesS fear than is usually attributed to her sex. The very dry and hot season, we are told, is supposed to be the cause of so many mak ing their appearance during the summer arid fall. CORN CROP IN Onio.—A gtritleman who has recently made a tout through Warren, Green, Clarke, and Champaign counties, in Ohio, informs the Cincinnati Post that the corn crop in those counties is excellent; the crop a full average; and in quality very su perior. The crops in the neighboring coun ties of Logan and Clinton were also under stood to bo as good ns usual, to say the least. The same gentleman stated that "the num ber of wheat, rye, oats, and hay stacks, all over the country, exceed any thing of the kind be ever before saw, although he is in the habit of making extens►vß tours through the country once, or twice every year." Similar accounts to the above,are,accord ing to the Post, daily pouring in from all parts of the Union. And that paper gives the opinion, on mature, deliberation, and founded on the mass of information derived from its exchange papers, that "the early harvests, say wheat and rye, were an aver age crop, throughout tho Union, of at least twenty-five per cent over that ofany preced ing year." "Croakers (says the Post) cease your croakings—they are a libel upon a beni ficent Providence." EDWARD A. LYNcri, Esq., has been ap- pointed Deputy Attorney General, for the Counties of Washington and Allegany, Md. in the place °flutes DIXON, Esq., deceased. SCIENCE IN A NUTSHELL.--Boz, in an admirable series of papers entitled the Mad Dog AssoCiation for the advancement of ev• ery thing, is quizzing the present popular passion for doing every thing by societies. Among his articles, that of Section C., Anatomy and Medicine, contains a report showing that a course of bleeding and low diet is the best.application for the disease called desire of finery in a woman;, and that by the divine discovery of honnepathy, gunshot wound may be cured by •an infini• tesiooil dose of powder and lend. Under the section "Utnbugology and Ditchwater 'sties," Professor John Ketch produced the skull of.Greenacre, a murderer recently executed: Much science was spent, and the association were proceeding to show that Greenacro could not help being a murderer with such a head, when it was unfortunate ly digeovered that the skull was no skull, but a piece of a cncoa nut! SILVER MINE.—The Warren, Pa. Bulle tin snys that a silver mine has lately been discovered near the mouth of the Motioning. It was shown by nn)ndinn alter considera ble solicitation on the pat t of the individual to whom it was pointed out. The Indian had procured ore from the mike, from which he had broaches, car-rings, finger rings, and other ornaments manufactured. Ile obtained the ore by hewing it off with his hatchet, whore it protruded beyond the rocks ih the almost perpendicular crag, en the bank of the stream, Go AHEAD, OLD VIRGINIA.—The Rich mond Compile', in sptaking of the Cotton Annufactures in Virginia, says—"domestic goods turned out of our own cotton manu factories are esteemed excellent, and bear the highest reputation in the Atlantic cities. We saw numerous bales before one of our wholesale houses a few days since, marked fint towns in Kentucky, shipped ma New Orleans." Governor Bagby, in his address before the Temperance Society of Mobile on the 30th ultimo, gave a striking illustration of the connexion between intemperance and crime. His excellency (who is a distinguish ed criitinal lawyer) stated that,in the course of his life, he had been employed in some filly or sixty capitol cascs,every one of which, as well as ho then recollected, was connect ed with intemperance! CROWDING TIIEM STILL FURTIIEII.-ThC last of the powerful tribe of Pottawatamios Indiana have been started for their new home beyond the Mississippi. The Michigan City Gazette says "the Indians were un• willing to leave the lands.there never having been any treaty as they say, by which they ceded them to the United States. Indeed we are credibly informed that the treaty un der which their lands are claimed, instead of being signed by the chiefs of the tribe, has the names of some three or four attach ed to it. We are satisfied that a fraud has been committed. But the poor Indians had no redress. They were the weak warring against the strong. And under the principle that 'might makes right' they were driven into submission. In consequence of their unwillingness to go a company of mon a mounting to about one hundred, under the command of Gen. Tipton, were sent to col lect them together and remove them by force."—Celveland Herald. The SECRETARY OF STATE left the Seat of Government on last Sunday evening a week on a visit to the State of Georgia. The Presbytery of Winchester adjourn ed on Saturday last, to meet in Charlestown on the third Thursday in April next. It aProved, we understand, of the course pur sued by its Commissioners to the last Gen eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. %V m. S. Plummer was Moderator, by a vote of 18 to s—which vote may be considered as a criterion of the strength of the two parties, the old and new school, within the bounds of the Pres bytery. At the recent meeting of the Presbytery of Winchester, the Rev. Septimus Tuston and Joseph A. Williamson. Esq., were elect ed, without opposition, Comruissionors to the next General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church, and the Rev. Peyton Harri son and John T. Cookus, Esq. their alter nates--Charlestote nLira.] Free Press. At the Annual commencement of Colum bia College, New York, on Tuesday, the degree of A.

James Romeyn, Pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church in Cattskill ; the Rev. Isaac Boyle, a Presby ter of the Episcopal Church in Massachu setts; and upon (Ito Rev. Leonidas Polk, Missionary Bishop elect for Arkansas. Onto.—lt is stated that in the year 1785, there was not a single white person within the present limits of the State of Ohio; at this day, that is, after the lapse of fifty-three years, its population amounts to upwards of a million—and it is in this respect the third state in the Union; and that popula tion is thrice blessed in this, that nineteen twentieths of them aro confined to agricul. ural pursuits. There are six or eight in corporated colleges in Ohio, and in no coun try is greater attention bestowed upon the education of the young, or to the diffusion of the elements of learning among the mass of the people, The public improvements, her roads and canals, would be worthy' of the resources of the oldest states in the U nion, or any one of the European monar chies. The canal connecting Cincinnati with Lake Erie is inferior in extent and utility only to the great work effected in New York by the genuis of Clintoa. The several links in the great chain of Rail roads between the North River and Luke Erie. parallel to the Eric Canal, are either finished or in progress. The Albany and Schenectady, and Schenectady and Uti ca Roads are both in successful operation; the Utica and Syracuse Road is expected to be completed by July next; the Road from Syracuse to Auburn is in operation; the Auburn and Rochester Road is under con• tract ; the Tonawanda Road, from Roches ter to Batavia is in operation ; and the stock of the Batavia and Buffalo Road, the last link in the chain, is subscribed. In about Li year from this limo there wi'l he a complete line of Rail roads from Albany to Defile, which will touch the Eric Canal at all the flotrishing towns above mentioned. The travel on the licks already completed is large, and what the entire chain is finished it must' be very great. bmb. tIVIC 4 -.!-4 4 -4 C, 0-3‘.0..i Cl' , Ct" 17, 4 o m ° 1=2,-.

Music.—Our Northern fellow citizens who have dune so much for the cause of learning in our land, are about introducing into their schools the study of music as one of the regular branches ofeducation. The effect of such a measure must be admirable, and we trust that the practice will soon be come univers-il. There is much exquisite enjoyment to be derived from the "concord of sweet sounds," but there is another point of view in which we regard the study o music as of inestimable value. We allude to the effect it has directly and indirectly in refining the tastes and harmonizing theJ feelings of the young. To be a musician isJ at once an introduction to the society of persons of similar taste, and proc . urea, a wel come every where. The youth who in stead of frequenting places of gross indul ;once delights to spend his leisure hours in cultivating musical talent, is withdrawn from bad examples, and contracts a disgust for every thing that does not agree with well ordered feeling. Beside the direct of feet produced by music in curni3hing a de lightful recreation, the associations to which it gives rise with the members of the seller sex are of no small importance. lie who is an acceptable companion at a lady's piano will seek no other gratificatiOn, as he can certainly find none greater. It is well known that in the continent of Europe every gentleman cultivates music, nor does he think his education complete without the accomplishment. Some have thought that a love of music is apt to unfit them for the business pursuits of life, and injure thorn for graver occupation. It is true that the time devoted to the acquire ment of music is so much of our existence abstracted from more serious occupations, but it is far from being lost. By tho recre ation it affords to our spirits and its restore tive effects upon the nervous system, it en ables us to resume business pursuits with in creased ardor and efficiency, end in doing so, so fur from causing a loss, is in fact a gain of time. Fondness for music is near ly allied to love of poetry, music being the poetry of soui.d, and is the result of a well poised temperament ; and we cannot help regarding the individual who does not_ ap preciate the one or the other as destitute of these exquisite sensibilities that constitute the foundation of happiness and shed a charm over human existence. We repent that we should be much gratified nt seeing music recognized as one of the objects to which the attention of the rising generation should be particularly directod.[Balt. Amr. RATHBUN CorivicTEn.,—Benjamin Rath bun has been convicted and sentenced to five years' unprisonment in the state prison. AN AGED TEACHER.—•The Rev. Dr. Ripley, of Concord, now in his eighty• eighth year, preached a discourse to the youthful portion of his people on Sunday last, from the words Ecclesiastes. "Remem ber now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, 1 have no pleasure in them." The discourse was delivered extemporaneously, and as he advane.ed in his subject he seemed to grow warm therein, until he was in verity the, "old man element." There appears to be' something peculiarly impressive in wittiess ing an aged servant, like the one under no Lice, imparting instructions to the young. Who so capable t• RD form just views of God and Christianity as ono who has spent long life in his service; and who so well calculated to sow the seeds and administer the comforts and consolations of religion, as he who has reaped a rich harvest? The Rev. Dr. Ripley was born at WoW-1 stock, Con., May 1, 1731, and it may r• hap 9 be considered a singular coincidence, that it was the same month, and day of the nionth, which gave birth to the Rev. Dr. Emmons, the latter being six years older.

These demonstrations on the part of the Colonists will only tend to make matters at home less favorable to their interests,- and arn•in bad taste, inasmuch ns they are useless infringements of the public peace. With regard to Lord Durham, who has so suddenly acquired popularity, we sincerely regret that his term of usefulness is about to be cut short, as we believe that this con tinuance in the Canadas would be produc tive of happy results. If the accounts which we have heard of the Earl be correct, ho is possessed of much intelligence and liberality and only requires to be acquainted with men as they exist on this side of the Atlantic, to manage them to good account. It is said that notwithstanding the political attach ments which have served to bring him into notice as a zealous reformer, his habits in social life are ultra aristocratic, and-that he maintains most punctiliously the pomp, pride and circumstance belonging to vice rovally. To a certain extent this may be well. The empty parade and display of a music court will serve to amuse children and encourage mechanics. Wo hold that a wealthy nobleman as well as a rich com moner canzot do better with his means than to promote refinement and patronise skill a ! mong the industrious and enterprising parts of the community --Bun.

Jo ' Iseph Bond, residing in Greenwich street, New York, was getting out of,his vehicle near the Fulton Market, a loaded pistol, which he had in his pobket, fell out, and by the concussion upon the pavement was dia. charged, and did ball with which it wns loaded, entered and lodged in the calf of his leg in an oblique direction, causing a severe but not dangerous wound.

WEIGHT OF THE HUMAN BODY.—M. o i Chaussie dried a human body in an oven,tho original weight of which %as 120 lbs; when dry, it was reduced to 12 lbs. Hence the solid matter of the body was to water as one to nine, or one-tenth. From this it will be seen how great a proportion the fluids of the • body bear to -the solids. • 5. is PLOUGHING TOO Asnr.—Judge Coalter of Virginia, when first appointed to the ) r Bench, had jurisdiction over one of the moun lain districts,' winch was principally inhabi ted by wild and unruly, though fearless and independent fellows. One of the Judge's first acts was to impose a heavy fine, by way of example, upon a rough and hardy back-woodsman, for disorderly conduct. As the man was leaving the court room in oharge of an officer, he turned and addressed the Judge— " Your name is Coalter, is it not ?" "Yes." "Well, all I have to sal, is that you are setting your coalter rather too deep for one who is ploughing new ground." The follow's wit saved his fine.

As but ono or two accurate returns have been received,we deem it unnecessary to burthen our columns with the various speculations now afloat, but shall, as soon as possible, give the actual vote for each candidate. o:)—We do not intend to make any idle complaints about the result of the late elec tion. Here wt: have done our duty, and this should be consolation enough for honest men. But as a faithful chronicler of the times, it is our duty to inform our friends of the means by which the opposite party carried the elec tion. Gov. RITNER was defeated by a system of the grossest fraud ever contrived and car ried into practice! In many counties in which there were no public Improvements, the number of votes polled, or returned as haying been polled, EXCEEDED BY ONE THIRD TILE NUMIIER OF TAXABLE' mitAn- ITANTS! Such was the case in Berks, &c. In the last named county, hundreds of the citizen of the adjoining counties voted and afterwards returned and voted nt home!— This can be proven. PortOr mon, too, have been heard to declare, that they voted on Monday night in Reading, come on to Leb anon, voted there, and then voted again in Harrisburg in Dauphin county!! In this way, they carried the election! taaThe election is over and we are ras cally beaten, or rather beaten by rnscals!-- But it is not our custom to indulge in dole ful lamentations or uselobs regrets. We shall, therefore,only recommend to our par ty the adoption of the plan proposed by a facetious friend, to insure future success— namely,that some one shall convey his prop erty to a third person; make application for the benefit of the Insolvent Laws; swear out; cheat his creditors, and thus qualify himself to run for the office of Governor in 1941! In this way, we should no doubt insure suc cess !! Porter Decency! oi-On Friday night last, there was a Porter jubilee in this place. The Portormen paraded the streets in the dark, yelling like savages and insult ing the order-loving citizens of the town! We are informed that the blackguard band did not confine their operations to our part of the Borough, but that they visited the Methodist Parsonage houso and insulted, by groans and other demon strations alike characteristic of those engaged in the performance, the Rev, Mr. SMITH and his amiable family !!! Decent men cannot but abhor such conduct, however much it may accord with tho prineiplc3 of the party anti tho character of its leader - 'and geed, David B. Porter I • 4,120 -- 5716 4503 4503 ZE13112 From the isburg-Telegraph of Od . 11. Extensive Frauds. The information received respecting the result of the general election in this State, is such as to leave no doubt of the Loco Foco Van Buren party havingextensively practic ed a system of fraud, such as was never be foro known in nny country; and that it is to it, they are indebted for their apparent suc cess. In some places their plans were discover ed before the day of election arrived; but generally we believe they were so carefully concealed as to escape detection in time to prevent them. On Friday last, in the county of Philadel phian man was arrested and put into prison, on the ground of being concerned in a conspi racy to cheat and defraud the voters of the :id diet rict,who of confessed that lie was to have been appointed one of the Judges of the Kensington poll, and was to return about 14001,mi - wily for Porter; and that the rote rns,on t h,certifientes and all were THEN already MA DE OUT. This man was to t-e paid a certain sum as compensation; and he implicated the Post Master, Custom House Officers, and f►larshall of the Eastern Ns trict (well known i❑ Harrisburcr) all GOV ERN DENT OFFICE HOLDERS, in the CON I.3PIRACY. Intelligence from other parts leave no doubt of the same plot having been carried out in other places—and that THOU SA N DS, and we might say TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL VOTES have been polled by them. We are informed from a source entitled to the fullest,ered.t, that in Horks and some of the other counties, not only the votes of persons who had no right to vote,were taken, but that hundreds of persons from the adjoin ing counties went into Berks on the day pre vinus to the election, and nt other times, VOTED THERE EARLY AND RE TURNED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTIES AND VOTED AGAIN ON THE SAME DAY! This fact we believe can be established by the most ample testi- many. In Barks county where there are under 9000 taxable inhabitants, including females, &c, there were about 10.400 votes polled on Tuesday last !!! about 2,000 more than were polled in 1935, when Multlenburg, Wolf and Ritner all run, and the greatest efforts were made by all parties. This Etct can not leave a doubt in the mind of any man that there were more than ONE THOUSAND ILLEGAL. VOTES GIV EN TO DAVID R. PORTER IN BERKS COUNTY—and that all the bets made by the friends of Gov. Ritner would have been fairly and honorably won, hail the election been conducted according to law. We are also apprized that a very large proportion of the Judges of the election in Berlis county, were interested in the result, by bets that they had at stake, which total ly disqualified them to act in that capacity ; —that travellers, crews of boats, beggars and persons of every description were al lowed to vote—and that votes were actually taken from such persons and put tnto boxes on MONDAY, THE DAY BEFORE TUE ELEC TION. As these facts, we believe, can all be pro ved, and thera can he no doubt of the ma jority in that county having been obtained by the GROSSEST FRAUD, KNAVERY and VIOLATION OF LAW, we would warn those who have beta penhiag upon it rot to give them up until a thorouJi inves tigation hiwbeen made—and we would commend the same caution to those who have bet unon the general result. The im mense amount - of money that has been bet in this way, has been one of the great in ducements—and the friends of fair dealing should guard against PAYING MEN FOR BEING KNAVES. l a- We have also learnt from York coun ty that several hundred men, brought from New York to work upon the Susquehanna canal, not three days previous to the elec tion, were taken to the polls and allowed to vote ! I We trust that there will be a THOR OUGH INVESTIGATION of the elec tion in this State, and hope that none hold ing bets will be allowed to give them up un til it takes place, and it is established as having been honorably won. Information to this effect should be given to the stake holders. From the Mirth:burg Chronicle. of Oct. 13. If the reported majorities given, do not vary much from the actual vote, there is lit tle doubt but that Mr. Porter is elected Gov ernor. To communicate this information to our readers, is one of the most painful duties we have had to perform, since we took charge of a public Journal. We labor ed hard to bring about a different result,and fondly anticipated a better reward. But we have been disappointed—sadly disappointed. It is no comfort to say that we have been defeated by imf:iir , means; but it is some con solation to know that we have done what men could do honestly and fairly, and no more.— It is more glory to be defeated by honest means, than succeed by the aid of unlawful and unfair ones. Though unmeasured wickedness and vil limy was resorted to, by the friends of Mr. Porter previous to the election, yet we did hope and believe it would not be carried in tq the ballot box; but in this we were de ceived; and just in proportion to our disap pointment in this particular,were we deceiv ed in the final result. It has been by means of a regular system of fraud, throughout the whole State, that Mr. Ritner bas been defeated; this,and noth ing but this, could have beaten him, and of this fact, his enemies were apprized, hence, this use of the most heaven 7 during rascality that was ever perpetrated in a free country. And we do declare, that if such abuses of the elective franchise, as the Porter men have committed nt this election,be tolerated, it is a mere shaddow—not worth three straws. There is a clear, unquestioned majority of 10,000 of the legal voters of Pennsylvania, who prefer Joseph Ritner to David R- Por ter; and vet these 10,000 citizens and voters of the State lost tlftir voice in the choice of a ruler, by fraud(' What does this state of things prerscntl— A picture that will make freemen groan; a sight that will make Pennsylvanians tremble for their liberties! When contending for Mr. Ritner's elec tion, we dreamed of no abuse of elective franchise; we thought, when we came to the ballot box, none, even the Porter men, would dare disregard its sacredness,and stain its purity by ungodly prostitution; and e• gainst this, therefbre, we were not guarded; and by it the people have been robbed of their best inheritance, and we deceived! If Porter can hold office secured by such means it is in perfect keeping with the character we have before had of him. For his elevation he need thank a viola tion of the laws of God and man; and if he will hold office, and take to himself honors and profits gotten in this way, he is no bet ter than the man who enriches himself by the purchase of stolen goods! As n native citizen,inheriting and enjoying the blessings of a free government,nnd desiring their per petuation, we proclaim eternal hostility to n ruler of this description in Pennsylvania! From the National (Philadelphia) Gazette, There is,to our apprehension, no question that grievous frand,and fraud only, has cwt. bled the inspectors in Bet.lts County to re• turn a majority for the destructive party, unequalled in its election annuls. Active members of that party m this city, openly and confidently declared upon the day of the election, what their gubernatorial thajo,-ity would be. Should a majority fcir Porter be finally announced through the State, we are convinced that Iris election could only have been ejected by illegal votine. The hon. est and intelligent minority in Berks Coun ty should investigate and ferret out the causes of their anparently extraordinary defeat.— Were the mischief done by the roaring radi cals there, confined to the vicinity of their own den, we might sympathize with the suf- ferers without the privilege of complaining. But their ravages affect the elective fran chise in every other county. The entire constitutional party has gained strength in vain, if their aggregate force can be neutra lized by sectional outrages. We by no means despair of the success of our ticket in the State; foul means alone could cause its 1411- ure, and to such,in the event, must a failure be attributed. From the Philadelphia Inquirer of Saturday last THIIiD CONGhESSIONAL DISTRICT. Th. , . return Judges of the Third Congres sional District met yesterday, and announc ed the following as the result of the Election. Ingersoll. Naylor Unc. Northern Liberties, 265 130 Oxford, 218 283 Lower Dublin, Byherry and Moreland, 1356 365 Kensington, 1782 911 Spring Garden, 1294 1665 Northern Liberties, 1070 3315 5894 6669 Majority for Naylor, 775 votes. This is more than three times the major ty that he received before. From the United States Gazette ,Ito rut Frrn u l upon the People. Yesterday was the return day for the late, election. The place Gf making these returns is the Hall of Independence. Alier the re turns of the city election wore made nut, it was perceived that there was on the part of the Loco Pecos a determination to perform some act in violation of the rules of right; and on receiving the returns from the va rious districts, CHARLES J. INGERSOLL, a man who was the Loco Foco candidate for Congress, appeared in the room, armed with books, papers and notes, to protest against the returns of the district of the Northern Liberties. As far as we could learn, the objections were founded on the following circumstances :—The inspectors (or ofii• cers) of the sixth and seventh wards had LOST their tally books, and some ohjec. tion was made to some trival act during the election; and for these ladies or misdeeds of the Loco Foco officers in their own wards, Mr. Ingersoll had the impudence to demand he rejection of the whole scvilt wards of he Northeran Liherties, because of the ERRORS Or frauds ; and, monstrous as was the proposition, there were found among the return judges a majority to agree to it— absolutely to throw out the whole vote o the Northern Liberties, because of errors or frauds in one or two wards, the very wards that were under the directions of the Loco Focos themselves, as if they would not destroy a box or do other acts equally wrong, to destroy their own wards, if by so doing they could vitiate and destroy the whole vote of the district, containing a large majority against their own party. Pursu ing this course, the three Loco Foco return judges sign a certificate that Charles J. Ingersoll is elected to Congress in the third district ; and three Whig judges, deciding against the fraudulent proceedings thnt de• p►ived the whole Northern Liberties of their votes, gave to CIIARLES NAYLOR a certifi cate of his election. The monstrous decision which cut off' the Northern Liberties, of course cut off all hopes of returning the Whig, candidates for the Senate and the House of Representa tives at Harrisburg; and accordingly. ten of the return judges gave to the Loco Foco candidates a certificate of election, and Bev en signed a protest against the proceedings, that are II disgrace to human nature. , That the whole proceedings, from begin ning to end, are part of a conspiracy to de fraud the people of their rights, to cheat a district containing 5000 voters out of its votes, there can scarcely be a doubt; and that there can be as little doubt tbat had two of the Loco Foca judges evinced a disposi tion to do right, there would have been vie.- fence and bloodshed, is to us evident from all the proceedings. For example, in yester day mornings Pennsylvanian, there appear ed the following notice: ,4 DE MOCR ATS ATTEND. "The Don.aCrats of the city and county of Philadelphia, aro requostod to moot in front of' the State House, Chesnut street, this morning, at nine o'clock, to hear tho report of the return judg• es, and to see that they aro not. defrauded out of their votes, alto; they have boon placed in the ballot boxes." And an editorial police retorted IA the call with particular point. The call respon ded to, and the State House was beSieged with the body guard of the Loco Focos, responding to the call and sustaining Mr. Ingersoll and hiq ten judges. After Mr. Ingersoll had made his appear ance, and commenced his impertinence in the hall, Mr. Naylor was sent for—and the novel sight was presented of two candidates pleading before the return judges. It is not our intention now to comment upon the proceedings above noted, nor to designate with becoming epithets the con duct of the majority of judges. Tho pee. ple are indignant—but whether they will wait quietly the slow action and probable injustice of the Legislature and Congress, we pretend not to know. We hope and trust that they will snow themselves res pecters of the law—but never have they been so grossly outraged. In Berks county wo have been cheated out of the election. Hundreds of illegal voters were brought from the adjoining counties for the express purpose of win• ning the bets between forks and Lances• ter.—Lancaster Examiner. GOV. 11.171E1t IN PIIILADELPIIIA.—In the City of Philadelphia Gov. Ritner recei ved a huger vote than was polled for any othPi. candidate. No mistake in Philadel phis. The change in favor of Ritner, since 1835, in the City and County, is equal to FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED votes, or more than one-third of the joint majority obtained by Wolf and Muhlenberg in 1835. Philadelphia at least has dpne her duty. The Ritner gain in the County alone is upwards of two thousand.[Phi/./aq. TIrE FIRST DISTRICT.-Mr. Poynter. in Southwark and Moyamensing, ran far he hind Mr. Porter, who headed his ticket. In Southwark Porter's majority was 030, and Paynter's 269. In same of the out-districts, the majority given for Mr. P. exceeded the whole number of taxables in those districts. Furniture ea rs and omnibusses were running all day, supplying them with voters; great frauds were perpetrated in the First Ms trict. Some few who attempted to vote a gainst law were arrested and committed to prison. Many names were on the register, of dead men, and mon who had moved away,' or straw men, which afforded the chance of, voting, to such individuals as were fearless of the consequence of polling votes illegal ly. It is our opinion, that if the people of Southwark and Moyamensing could to-mor row be all assembled, that two.thirds of them would give their votes fur Mr. Sather-, land to represent then Congress.—/bid. From the Charleston Courier of October 7 Later from Flotlda.—Terrible Shipwrecks and Indian Alassacresl By the U 4 S. Revenue Cutter,Capt. How ard, which .prrived just as the impression of this dayl griper was completed, we hear of a more extensive loss of life and property, than tvastiftr before effected inn single hur ricane upon the Southern coast. Between thirty and forty vessels are said to have been lost upon the Bahama Banks on the 7th of Zfeptember,and the hurricane is represented to have been more terrific than was ever be. fore known in those latitudes. No particle of canvass could withstand the forced the gale and the survivors represent that the bare masts and spars were blown out of staunch and new vessels. And besides the extraordinary horrors of shipwrecks upon a desert shore, many of the numerous survi; vors of the wrecks upon the Florida. coast, after their escape from the horrible battle of the elements, only reached the land to meet a more frightful death in massacre by the Indians of Gape Florida. SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIVES —The Norfolk Herald • learns from a gentleman from Accomac County,that the wreck of the Iran, of Eastport, has drifted on shore op posite Illetomk in. Two or three dead men have been found in the forecastle. It also learns that the cargo of the brig Wave,from l'allahas-e bound to New York, which vessel drifted on shore about 10 days since, has been nearly all saved and waiting to hear from the owners. As before stated, the mate died 4 days before she coma on share,nnd since which time the captain and one of the crew have departed this life. JAMES D.

FIRE IN STAUNTON, VA.—WO learn by a slip from the Office of the Spectator, that a fire broke out in the stable attached to the Wayne Hotel, in Staunton, on the•4th inst. at 1 o'clock, which was not arrested until one half the Square, including the Wayne Tavern and four or five other houses and stables, were entirely consumed. The hou ses, however, except the Hotel appear to have been of but little value. The Wayne Stable was only tomporaily occupied, for the purpose of keeping the horses of the mem. bers of the Presbyterian Synod, now in sea. sion, and we regret to learn, that 17 or 18 of these horses perished in the flames. Beauty! (0- " I AM ANDY'S DOG!" KrThe leaders of the Porter party in the Borough, in ordor to find a plea for re fusing to pay their bets made on the result of the election in the County, have kicked up a row, stating that the election was un fairly conducted! This, they rather insin uate than say; and in order to sustain this insinuation, they have procured the affida vits and certificates of 104 persons, &elm.- •ng they voted for David R. Porter—being 20 more than he received votes! On looking over the list of swearers, we are able to discover more than the requisite number of twenty who for a dram could be procured to swear that they voted twice, or any number of times, or for any number of persons, that their keepers might requiie!— A number of them voted for Ritner,and that fact can be proved; but subornation of per. jury is no great crime for the boys that man• aged this business!
