THE RESULT IN THIS COUNTY.
We confess that the Whig majority in
this county is less by several hundred
than v.-c anticipated; but it is gratifying at
the same time to know that this result is
r.ot fc be attributed to any acquisition to
the Locofoco ranks, but is owing solely to
the apathy of some of the Whigs in a
crmlcr of townships. In some of the
districts, however, the Whigs did their du
ty nobly, and for "which they merit the
thanks of all who feel an interest in the
success of Whig principles Our oppo
renis, it will be seen by the returns, were
r.earlr all at the polls, as they always are,
-rain or shine." Though the Whig vote
i3 r.ot as large as it ought to have been
for Governor and Canal Commissioner,
yet our victory in the county is as com
plete as could have teen desired. Let it
be understood, once for all, that the gal
lant Whic of good old Somerset "never

TENVA ELECTION.
The returns as far as received show a
considerable falhng off in the U hig vote
compared with that of 1844 and leave no
ccubt of old Shunk's re-election. From
information received prior to tho election,
Vc were induced to look for a far differ
ent result. But the Whigs in many of
the counties appear to have been caught
napping," having no doubt been led in
to a false security by the apparent inactiv
ity of the Locolocos, who, by means of
iheir superior organization, can tit all
limes bring their forces to the polls, and
en the present occasion had out nearly
their fuil strength. All that the .Whigs
can do now, that they arc effectually
licked up or, rather, that they defeated
themselves by staying away
from the
polls is ia "grin and bear'
ana
pick
their flints' for another campaign.
THE RETURNS.
By the official returns which we p
"V.
liah to-day it will be seen that Irvin's ma
jority in this county is 1,243, and Pat
ton's 1,200. Jest J. Stutzmcn is elected
to the Legislature, Daniel Lcpley Com
missioner, and Jonathan Row Treasurer.
John Witt for Auditor, and Samue1
Will and Henry Frank for Poor House
Directors, having a!l been elected without
opposition, we have given only their ag-
gregatc vote in the published returns.

Tli tafc riecllon In Somerset
County and Its resuM.
It will be seen br referring
cial returns, that the whole
' ' to " 1 . m 4 i-v w f tvtniABilt
some ol the candidates personally, and is .
matter for sincere congratulation "to every j
true Whig in . the county. ;' It evince3 aj
healthy stale of feeling in the public
miud a resolution to avoid ail vacillation
to respect the; usages of the party to
adhere firmly and faithfully to the regu
lariy nominated ticket, and to discounte
nance every attempt at disorganization.-
Those gentlemen who ran in opposition
to the ticket, we presume are satisfied
by this lime, that even on the score of po
licy, they made a mistake, to say nothing
of "their dereliction of duty to their party.
Either of them had a right to ask for
something, and there is no doubt that in
due time their claims would have been at
tended to. We wil! not undertake to ay
in how far their recent course may have
endangered their future success. ' This is
a matter for their own grave considera
tion, as "well of those who .might hereaf
ter feel disposed to follow their example.
Certainly their claims upon the party
have not been increased. Besides, the
mortification of defeat, will hardly be!
less, when they see, as they cannot fail
to do, tha: even the Loco Focos did not
all support them. I he, one ran con
siderably behind the Loco Foco vole.
We hope this piece of discipline may
prove salutary in the end.
But above and beyond all this, tL ere is
a moral in the result, which it seems
scarcely proper or just to overlook.
Public opinion has in a most signal man
ner punished the outrages which have
been committed against it by certain po
litical leaders of the Loco Foco party in
this borough. It has . administered a re-
buke for their course, which ought to
crimson their checks with shame, if they
be not wholly f trangers to that feeling.
We do not remember having witnessed a
canrass for mere county offices, in wh'ch
the proprieties of social life were so en
tirely disregarded, or in which the attacks :
upon private character were more gross j
and wanton, especially in the case of Mr.
Row. i his too, was m marked contrast
to the forbearance of Mr. Row to some
of thosa same leaders in the late Con
gressional canvass. Notwithstanding all
these disgraceful efforts or rather per
haps ia consequence of them the entire
Whij ticket has been elected, and Mr.
Row, who was the principal victim, com-
:,i.A;Z ul Z wuw.

a lare
family connection. Indeed :n this bor
ough where the parties are all best known,
Mr. Row ran even with the highest on
the ticket and leads hi3 opponent sixty
two votes.
Such is the manner in which these
cowardly attacks, made by men some of
whom would be venerable if gray hairs
wonld make them so -while skulking be
hind k'aa irresponsible nnnor and making
his mouth the conduit for their own ri
baldrv, have been received by the public.
Can they fail to feel the keenness of the
rebuke I ' ' B.
FKOa THE NATIONAL INTELL1CENCER.
THE BALTIMORE DEFEAT.
The National Whio (which, by the
way, appeared oa Saturday in a new and
elegant dress) contains the annexed preg
nant comments on the very extraordinary
result of the late election in Baltimore :
"Trrs Baltimore Defeat. In the i
ly of Baltimore there is a gain of 1,423
on the Democratic vote since last year,
and a falling off in the Whig vote of 37
vote?. No man in his senses will for a
moment believe that this tremendous in
crease in the Democratic vote is a natural
increase. This fraud upon the ballot box
i tnn mlnable a reauiro proof. It stands
!0ut from the canvass in bold relief an
v.w---g- -
eternal disgrace upon the party that re-
m
joiccs in success by such mtamous
mear.s ! - .
The money expended by the officials
of the General Government here and in
Baltimore, we are credibly informed, ex
ceeds thirfv thousand dollars ! Of what
l value is the right of suffrage when it can
be attacked and trampled down by the di
rect application of money not to currupt
the oonosite nartr, but to invade the sanc
tity of the ballot-bos by the intrusion of
- ... j. .i
illegal and taise votes I It is lor uie peo
ple of Maryland to answer.
The Democratic press pretends that
this immense increase in the Demoeratic
vote of Baltimore is owing to the opposi
tion of Mr. Kennedy to the Mexican war
and the tariff of 184G; that Mr. McLane's
majority of 511 is a rebuke of Whig
doctrines respecting the origin of the war,
&c. If thisr statement were true, there
would necessarily be a heavy falling off in
the Whig vote for Mr. Kennedy compar
er! with that thrown last Year. What is
the fact I 3ir. nennenv is a gamer ui
7-1 votes over the Whig vote of 184G !
nd if Mr. M Lane s vote had increaseu
in the same natural ratio over the Derao -
tois V, -n-ni-itfl ham Uppti
l raiit tuit vi iuxv nv iv. - -- -
beaten by some 400 majority.- Whence
came tha votes, then, by which Mr. Ken
nedy was rebuked for his opinions!
Theif were illezal votes, bought and
paid for by the Officials of the General
Government' here and in Baltimore!"
FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC.
Our Baltimore correspondent informed
us by telegraph last night that the West
ern mail was in; no news except the flood
(we are sorrv to learn) done great damage
to ths Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The
Western Railroad safe; and Thomas's ma
jority for Governor reduced to six hun
dred. This tvas less than the number of
fracdslent Democrat votes i.t Baltimore.

man. He takes the common cense
and patriotic view of the matter, and, we
of ninf.
UVUvlWf O mv a - - ----- - i
tenths of the Whig party of the South
and the North, l'hey must choose, as
he says, either . Taylor and victory, or
Clay and defeat. The Whigs have never
been celebrated for good management in
political business, but their true course
now is so obvious, that we cannot for a
moment believe that they will blindly
choose the wrong one. The author of
this letter states, the raerit3 of the case
with admiral brevity. .The nomination
of General Taylor is", in the first place, in
obedience to the will of the people, and in
the second, it is a compromise between
the North and the South, the North gam
ing their principles and the South gaining
their man. What stronger argument
could be given for the election of General
Taylor, or what other man in the nation
could be nominated whose election would
do so much towards strengthening the
bonds of our Union? None. He is the
onlv prominent man in the nation of ac
knowledged fitness (or the office of Presi
dent, who would not be obnoxious to the
South or the North on the score of sec
tional prejudices. This letter was not
intended for publication, but was written
in reply to a candid request for the wri
ter's opinions on the subject of the next
Presidency; if we were at liberty to give
the writer's name, itcouldnot fail to have
great influence with the party to which
he belongs. As an evidence of the tone
of thought among the leading whigs of the
north in regard to the nomination of Gen
eral Taylor for the Presidency, we can
state that out of sixteen members of Con-
! gress who were applied to for an expres-
of opinion-ionrteen of them gave
replies of a similar tone to this one which
wc have been permitted to puolish.
Uniontown, Sept. 3, 1847.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 27th
ulto. is just received, in which you do
me the honor to ask my opinoin, first, as
to the propriety of the Whigs nominating
General Taylor after his having refused
to run as a party candidate; second,
whether, if Mr. Clay was taken up, Gen
eral Taylor would not decline in his fa
vor! I'answcr frankly and at once, as a
whig and a friend of the Union, I am de
cidedly lor adhering to General Taylor.
First, because I believe him to be a true
Whig, a devoted patriot and honest man,
possessing in an eminent degree sound
judgment, practical good st-n?e and a thor
ough knowledge of inea-the highest qual
ifications for a President of the United
States, qualities in which he greatly re
sembles Washington, and of whom, next
to him, it may now be said, he is first in
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen. Regarding him in
this light, the position he has chosen is a
characteristic and true one,if candidate
of the ptcjtle and not of a pftrly." Look
ing to his whoie country anu placing u a
bove party, he has taken a high and noble
stand, where the people, the honest and
patriotic of all parlies, may, rally round
and sustain him. True it may drive from
him a few scurvy office-seekers, and ultra
politicians on both sides, but we are better
without than with them. Let them go
lake up their ultra candidate, and sec
wheie they will be left, with scarcely an
electoral vote in the Union. But I go for
General Taylor, not only because I con
sider him a good Whig, and a good man,
but also because he is a Southern man
This Union can only be preserved as it
was established, on principles of conces
sion and compromise. The North can
not claim both the man and the measures.
One or the other must be yieMed to the
South. I prefer to concede to them the
man, rather than the measures. Give
them the and the measures will be
ours, and the harmony of the Union will
thus be preserved. Secondly, yon en
quire if General Taylor (being a good
Whig) would not decline in favor of Hen
ry Clay. How could he, consistendy
with the position he occupies? He has
declared ha will not be a party candidate,
nor will he "yiffd himself to party
scheme." To'do so would be a viola
tion of the pledge which he has so sol
emnly made to the American - people, by
whose wishes alone he says he will be
governed. General Taylor cannot there
fore consistently withdraw, and if the
Whigs abandon him the people will elect
him bv acclamation, and they will be
prostrated. Let the Whigs then be faith
ful to the Old Hero, and their triumpn is
certain. Let them remember that "Tay
lor never surrenders." and was never de-
i feated.
In mv indrmen!. the nosition Aicnerai
j Taylor has assumed is the very best and
- J J o
tTonest he could have taken, anu any
j change would but weaken and degrade it.
Itlth Tavlar the 'fflns must triumph
Without him they will fail. They have
their choice victory or defeat.
Yours respectfully.
