Now that the Presidential election is over and the Democracy every where triumphant, we hope otfr patrons will not be offended when we tell them—we mean those in arrears—that we need MONEY badly. Those indebted for subscription, advertising and job work, or either, will confer a pleat favor by paying us what is justly our due. The approaching Courts will afford a favorable op pcirtunity to many, who cannot come to town, to sefid it with their neighbors. Those living out of the County or State can remit by mail at our risk Ex-Governor Shunze. Jogs Asisacw SIII7LTZE, formerly Governor of, this' State, whose death in this City, on the 19th in l et., we chronicled last week, was seventy-seven yLrs of age at the time of his decease. He was educated for the Ministry, and for several years in Idle early part of his life, he filled the pulpits of sev. er i al Lutheran Congregations. He was compelled; through some physical inability, to abandon that profession, and soon thereafter became a prominent politician of the Democratic school. He repre sented Dauphin county (then embracing what is now Lebanon county, where he resided) in the L l egislature for several sessions, and after the divis ion of the counties, he held the office of Prothono tary in Lebanon for a number of years. In 1822 IL was elected to the State Senate, and in 1823 was chosen Governor of the Commonwealth by a very lerge majority. He was re-elected Governor al most unanimously in 1829. He retired from office in in 1829, and removed a to Lycoming county, where, .1 in consequence of:some unfortunate investments, lie lost all he had previously saved, and became Poor. He thereupon removed to this City, where he continued to reside, in quiet retirement, until the time of his death Important Intelligence. "Ousanyan," the Washington correspondent of the Ledger, in his letter of Tuesday last, enlight 'ens his forty thousand readers by the lollowing. ,iece of astounding intelligence: " It is quite certain, now, that no cabinet appoint mentsi will be 'officially announced before the 4th bif March next." LnProdigious! What profound penetration into the ysterious depth of the future! Gen PIBIICE will not officially announce his cabinet officers until he I• first takes the oath of office himself, so says the wise and learned 'Observer." And pray, Mr. Grund, when did such a thing ever occur, as on official an. Inouncement of a Cabinet, until after the new Presi dent was inaugurated? We should like to be in formed. But "Observer," in the same epistle, gives us another item of important intelligence, and that is that Gen. PIERCE has been "elected President of the whole United States." And who ever dreamed'of anything else? We believe all the distinguished gentlemen who have filled the office of Chief Mag istrate,, from the days of Gen. Washington to the present time. have been elected for the wh4, and not a part of the United States. Indeed, Gen. Tay lor seemed to have such extensive notions about the matter, that he was inclined to go farther than any of his predecessors and embrace "all the world and the rest of mankind" in his guardianship! There are several other equally important items of intelligence in the same communication, but the above will suffice to convince the readers of the Ledger of the profound eruditon and astonishing prescience of this greatest of all humbugs. • Relief Notes. We learn from Harrisburg that $250,00u of the Relief issues were destrdyed, week before last, by the State Treasurer. It was found impossible to burn them in the office stove, -and they were taken over to the furnace in the basement of the Capitol, where they were soon consumed. The community will "breathe freer and deeper" after such an'extensive conflagration; and we hope that the Legislature, at its next session, will take such measures as will effectually and forever place the balance of the filthy trash, yet in circulation, out of harm's way. The longer continuance of such a greasy currency in circulation will be a dis grace to the Commonwealth, and every Grand Jury, in every county of the State, ought to present such abominable truck as a nuisance that should at once be abated. We hope our brethren of the press will speak out on this subject, and make known the sentiments of the people in their respective. localities. The masses have borne with the vile currency, until for bearance has ceased any longer to be a virtue, and and it is high time the Legislature should interpose to prevent a continuance of the evil. 117 Congress will meet on Monday next, and as President making has been attended to for the next four years, may it not be hoped that the approach ing short session will be a working one. There ought to be a clean docket made for the new ad ministration which comes into power on the Fourth of March. All unfinished business, whether of a public or private character, should be disposed of, and new books should be opened at the advent of the Democracy to power. Our friends have a de cided majority in both branches of Congress, and they will, therefore, be held responsible for what ever is done'or left undone of a legislative char As to Cabinet-making, that is a business which the people have entrusted to Gen. PinucE, and we have every confidence that he will attend to it himself, at the proper time, and make such selec tions as cannot fail to be satisfactory to the Nation. Honorable members of Congress may therefore as well leave that peculiar kind of business in the hands where the Constitution has placed it, and at tend eztansi7ely to their legitimate duties, a work that they have ladly neglected for the last twelve menthe or more. We shall endeavor to keep our readers advised of all important business that may be transacted, dam , : the session, as well as of all reliable infor mation respecting the movements and intentions of the President ,elect. THE INCRE•SED VOTR -ThE total number of votes polled for Supreme Judge, at the October election, was 32r.032. At the Novernher election, the whole number polled was ": , 17,' , 50—0f which number, Hale (free soil,) had and Broome, (native,) 1610. Increased vote over October elec tion, 02,022. It will thus be seen that the Whig journals were correct in stating, previous to the late election, that twenty-five thousand wb . igs had rtiW gone to the polls in October but evidently made no calculation on the 22,054 Deinocrats who also stayed away from the polls. ttr After the 4th of March next, the U. S. Sen ate will eonsist of 42 Democrats, 2 Free-Soilers, and 18 members of the late Whig party. The Democrats will have more than two-thirds of that body. SUPREME COURT DECISION. — The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Woodward presiding, has decided that, "upon the, reversal of a judgment of a a justice of the peace, upon a certiorari, the award of execution for the costs is as much a part of the judgment as the reversal itself." A mistake occurred last week in the adver tisement of the late Dr. Samuel Humes' bequests. In Item No. 2, it should read one thousand dollars instead of one hundred. It is correct this week.

See advertisement. our Foreign Relations. Under this caption the last Harrisbiai keystone gives its readers a full column of editorial, a por tion of which is evidently intended to bring into disrepute the diplomacy of the late President POLK'S administration, and, of course, is a stab in the dark at the members,of his Cabinet, and especially at Mr. Bucamsen who was Secretary of State: The object of the writer is so transparent, that the flim sy covering with which he surrounds it, in a feeble criticism upon Mr. WEBSTER, cannot conceal the pent-up malignity of his nature. Speakidg on the subject, hedays:— Somehow or other, the diplomacy of America has gradually lowered. It no longer occupies the commanding platform to which the independence and freedom of our institutions aspire, and to which they are entitled. The beginning of this decline has been, by many, traced to the sudden and cele brated abandonment of Oregon from 54 deg. 40 min. to 49 deg. Thence it is thought to have rapidly spread amid the inexplicable singularities of SANTA Arc's sale conduct, through our naval forces, to the head of hisown armies; the harlequinade of the MIST embassy; the admonitory wise-saws to which revolutionized France listened with so much dis- gust and scorn, and the trifling penny-wise treaties picked up by dexterous agents among puny princi palities of Germany." Now, we had always thought, and the whole country were of the same opinion, that the diplo macy of the Pots administration was so able and dignified, so fair and honest, as to challenge the ad miration of the world. By and through it we en larged our boundaries so as to extend our dominion from ocean to ocean. We acquired additional ter ritory sufficient to constitute more than a dozen of States larger than any previously in the Confeder acy. We acquired hundreds of millions of treasure, and thereby enriched our whole country beyond all precedent. We settled a boundary dispute with England on the-identical basis claimed by all pre vious administrations, and which for thirty years had been stoutly resisted and refused by that Pow er. We conquered a peace with a neighboring Re public, and settled questions that had perplexed and annoyed this Government for more than twenty years. We effected important treaties with Foreign Nations, which opened their ports to the produc tions of our soil, ° and promoted the happiness and prosperity of our agriculturalists to such a degree as to defy calculation. The administration of Mr. POLK did all this, and much more that we have not room to enumerate. In short it elevated the character of the Republic in the eyes of all Chris tendom. It promoted the glory and welfare of the country -beyond what had ever been done before, until it stood, as it. now stands, the wonder and ad miration of the world. And yet a two-penny news paper scribbler ut Harrisburg, whose quantum of train is, perhaps, in exact ratio to his presumptu silts assurance, with one fell swoop demolishes all the brilliant results of the greatest administration of modern times, and makes out suchmen as POLK , BUCHANAN, \VALIUM, Mencr and their illustrious compeers, the veriest tyros in diplomacy and states manship! 0 temporal 0 mores! But, were we disposed to waste words and oc ar py room with a subject, the investigation of which is entirely uncalled-for and unnecessary at the pres ent time, we might show most conclusively, that, in the covert attacks of the Keystone upon Mr. Bo- CIIANAN, the writer has most wofully missed his mark. It might be shown that whoever else was to blame, if any blame could be attached, (which we by no means admit,) on account of the final set tlement of the Oregon controversy, Mr. BUCHANAN is not one of the number. The doctrines of his great letter to the British .Minister, in which he so clearly established our right to the whole of Ore gon up to 54 deg. 40 min., are the same that he held when the treaty was consummated, and which he still entertains. But President Pour., unwilling we suppose to run the risk of a war with England (having the Mexican troubles on hand at the time,) and perhaps doubting the policy of persisting in a claim for more than was contended for by any pre vious administration, especially at that particular juncturr of affairs, thought proper to submit the question to the Senate for their advisement, which body, it will be recollected, with considerable una nimity recommended the'President to conclude the treaty upon the line of 49 deg. This was accord ingly done, by the administration, upon the strength of that recommendation, and there the matter en ded, until the wiseacre of the Keystone, for the pur pose of indulging a fling at Mr. 8., has seen proper to revive the matter, by setting up his judgment against the combined wisdom and experience of Mr. POLK, his Cabinet, and the Senate of the United States! We would advise the Keystone to pursue a differ ent course, now that the election is over and noth ing farther is to be accomplished by the abuse of any of the distinguished statesmen of the Demo cratic party. Its furious assaults upon / Mr. Bo- CUANAN prior to the meeting of the National Con vention, while they may not have injured the ob ject of its spleen, were very far from benefiting the veteran statesman, Gen. Cess, for whom it pro fessed so much friendship. Nay, it is not at all im probable that the course pursued by that and kindred prints, towards one of the other candidates, was more ihan any thing else the cause why the old General failed in obtaining the nomination. The course of the Democratic journals friendly to , Mr. BUCHANAN was altogether different. Whilst they advocated his nomination with all possible zeal and energy, they treated all the other candidates fairly and respectfully, and were prepared to do battle with hearty good will under whoever the Conven tion might select as the standard bearer of the par ty. They did not, as the Keystone and its adjuncts sought to do, attempt to prejudice the public mind in advance against any particular candidate, and thus endanger the success of the party had he been the nominee; and they do not now, as that paper does, presume to dictate to the President elect who shall and who shall not be his Constitutional ad- The Keystone should learn wisdom from the past. Its insidious attack upon the POLK. adminis tration in general, and Mr.Buctuseir in particular, will neither benefit the Democratic party, nor add to its own influence or respectability in the com mqity. The people are heartily sick of its vitup eration against one of the greatest statesmen of the age, and the sooner it learns good manners and de. cency the better it will be for its own reputation.

The Washington Union of Wednesday contains a copy of some highly important diplomatic corres pondence, which for the first time has been made public under a call of the House of Representatives. They embrace the official documents that passed between Mr. Bucaissa, the Secretary of State, and Mr. SAI7NIEILB,OUr Minister to Spain, in referencee to the overture made by President Pour for the purr chase of Cuba, in 1848..1t appears from them that the United Stßes Government offered $lOOOO,OOO as a full equivalent for the Island, and that the Spanish government promptly, courteously, but ab solutely, declined the proposition. We annex some extracts from Mr. BomanAn's letter of instruc tions to Mr. SI.IIRI;ERS : Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Saunders. DEPAHTELENT OP STATE, WASHINGTON, June 17, 1848 Sir: By direction of the President, I now call your attention to the present condition and future prospects of Cuba. The late of this island must ever be deeply interesting to the people of the Uni ted States. We are content that it shall continue to be a colony of Spain. Whilst in her possession, we have nothing to apprehend. Besides, we are bound to her by the ties of ancient friendship, and we sincerely desire to render these perpetual. But we can never consent that this island shall become a colony of any other European Power. In the possession of Great Britain, or any strong naval power, it might prove ruinous both to our domes tic and foreign commerce, and even endanger the union of the States. The highest and first duty of every independent nation is to provide for its own suety; and, acting upon this principle, we should be compelled to resist the acquisition of Cuba by any powerful maritime State, with all the means which Providence has placed at our command. The Secretary of State then proceeds to argue the importance of this island, from its prox imity to the United States ; and that if Great Bri ' tain were to possess herself of it, as he seems to fear, she could blockade the mouth of the Missis sippi, and deprive the Western States, and those on the Gulf, of a foreign market, besides destroying an immense amount of our commerce in the Gulf. If Cuba was annexed to the United States, we should not only be relieved from apprehensions which we car, never cease to feel for our own safe ty and the security of our commerce, whilst it shall remain in its present condition, but human foresight cannot anticipate the beneficial consequences which would result to every portion of the Union. This can never become a local question. With suitable fortifications at the Tortugas, and in possession of the strongly fortified harbor of Havana as a naval station on the opposite coast of Cuba, we could command the outlet of the Gulf of Mexico, be tween the peninsula of Florida and that island.— ' This would afford ample security both to the for eign and coasting trade of the Western and South , ern States, which seek a market for their surplus productions through the ports on the gulf. He next shows the commercial importance of Cuba, from tables published by McGregor, and pre- diets that, under American rule, the products of the country would greatly increase. Desirable, however, as the possession of this isl and may be to the United States, we would not ac quire it except by the free will of Spain. Any ac quisition not sanctioned by justice and honor would be too dearly purchased. While such is the deter mination of the President, it is supposed that the present relations between Cuba and Spain might incline the Spanish Government to cede the island to"the United States, upon the payment of a fair and full consideration. We have received informa tion from various sources, both official and unoffi cial, that among the Creoles of Cuba there has long existed a deep rooted hostility to Spanish do minion. The revolutions which are rapidly suc ceeding each other throughout the world have in spired the Cubans with an ardent and irrepressible desire to achieve their indeqendence. Indeed, we are informed by the Consul of the L nited States at Havana that "there appears every probability that the island will soon be in a state of civil war." He also states that "efforts are now being made to raise money for that purpose in the United States, and there will be attempts to induce a few of the vol unteer regiments now in Mexico to obtain their dis charge and join the revolution." I need scarcely inform you that the Government of the United States has had no agency whatever in exciting the spirit of disaffection among the Cu bans. Very far from it. • A short time after we received this information from our Consul, I addres sed a despatch to him, of which I transmit you a copy, dated on the oth instant, from which you will perceive that I have warned him to keep a watch ful guard both upon his words and actions, so as to avoid the least suspicion that he had encouraged the Cubans to rise in insurrection against the Span ish Government. I stated also that the relations between Spain and the United States had long been of the most friendly character, and both honor and duty required that we should take no part 'in the struggle which be seemed to think was impending. I informed him that it would certainly become the duty of this Government to use all proper means to preventlany of our volunteer regiments now in Mex ico, from violating the neutrality of the country by joining in the proposed civil war of the Cubans against Spain. Since the date of my despatch to him, this has been performed. The Secretary of War, by command of the Pres ident, on the day following, (June 10,) addressed an order to our commanding General in Mexico, and also to the officer having charge of the embar kation of our troops at Vera Cruz, (of which I trans mit you a copy, (directing each of them to use all proper measures to counteract any such plan, if one should be on foot, and instructing them "to give orders that the transr orts on which the troops may emkark proceed directly to the United States, and in no event to touch at any place in Cuba." The Consul, in his despatch to me, also stated that, if the revolution is attempted and succeeds, immediate application would be made .to the United States lor annexation; but he did not seem to think that it would be successful, and probably would not be un dertaken without the aid of American troops. To this portion of the despatch I replied—knowing the ardent desire of the Cubans to be annexed to our Union—that I thought it would not be "difficult to predict that an unsuccessful rising would delay, if it should not defeat, the annexation of the Island to the United States," and I assured him that the aid of our volunteer troops could not be obtained. -This you will perceive with what scrupulous fidelity we have performed the duties of neutrality and friendship towards Spain. It is our anxious hope that a rising may not be attempted in Cuba; but if this should unfortunately occur, the Govern ment of the United States will have performed their whole duty towards a friendly Power. Should the Government of Spain feel disposed to part with the island of Cuba, the question, what should we offer for it? Would then arise. In deci ding this question, it will be important to ascertain, Ist. What net revenue ityields at the present mo ment to the royal treasury, after deducting all the expenditure incurred on its account; and, 2d. What net revenue would it yield to the Government of the United States in its present condition? Mr. Buchanan refers to McCulloch to show that in one year Spain had derived as high revenue as $10,490,252; but Mr. Calderon, the Spanish Minis ter, had informed him that the Spanish Treasury' in one year, had never received more than $2,000,- 000 from Cuba, the remainder being necessary to defray the expenses of the Colonial Government and support the troops. Mr. B. then supposes that $50,000,000 would be a sufficient sum' for indem nity to Spain for the loss of the island. He esti mates that the revenue to the United States from maratime duties, the only ones which could be im. posed, would be $5,000,000. But the island in pos session of the United States, it would yield $6,000,. 000. Mr. B. next considers the question of exten sion to our Federal system. He says: Experience has proved that this system of con federated republics, under which the Federal Gov ernment has charge of interests common to the whole, whilst local governments watch over the concerns of the respective States, is capable of almost indefinite extension, with increasing strength. This, however, is always subject to the qualifica tion that the mass of the population must be of our own race, or must have been educated in the school of civil and religious liberty. With this qualifica tion, the more we increase the number of confeder ated States, the greater will be the strength and se curity of the Union, because the more dependent for tacir mutual interests will the several parts be I upon the whole, and the whole upon the several ports. It is true that of the 418,291 white inhab itants which Cuba contained in 1641, a very large proportion is of the Spanish race, still, many of our citizens have settled on the island, and some of them are large holders of property- Under our Government it would speedily be Americanized, as Louisiana has been. Within the boundaries of such a Federal system alone can .a trade exempt from duties and absolutely free be enjoyed. With the possession of Cuba we should have throughout the Union a free trade on a more extended scale than any which the world has ever witnessed, arousing an energy and activity of competition which would result in a most (arid improvement in all that contributes to!the.welfare and happiness of the human race. What State would forego the advantages of this.vast free trade with all her sis ters, and place herself iir,lonely isolation? But the acquisition of Cuba would greatly strengthen our -bond'of _Onion. Its possessions would secure to all the'Statei within the valley of the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico free access to the ocean; but this security could only be preserved whilst the ship building and navigating States of the Atlantic shall furnish a navy sufficient to keep open the outlets from the gulf to the ocean. Cuba, justly appreci, ating the advantages of annexation, is now ready to rush into our arms. Once admitted, she would be entirely dependent for' her prosperity, and even existence, upon her cepinexion with the Union, whilst the rapidly increasing trade between her and the other States, wouldi shed its blessings and its benefits over the whole.; Such a state of mutual dependence, resulting frojn the very nature of things, the world has never witnessed. This is what will ensure the perpetuity of , our Union. With all these conskqrations in view, the Presi dent believes that the crisis has arrived when an effort should be made to purchase the island of Cuba from Spain, and he has determinhd to entrust you with the performaice of this most delicate and important duty. The Secretary of State thus shows how the at tempt to purchase should be made so as not to arouse jealousy and opposition, tells him to touch delicately upon the danger of Spain losing Ceiba by revolution—that it may; be wrested from her by Great Britain, should a rupture take place between the two countries arising out of the dismissal of Sir Henry Bulwer, and be retained to pay the Spanish debt due to the British bondholders; that the United States would always resist its acquisition by any other nation, and that lie might offer as the max imum price for the posiession of the Island by the United States the sum of one hundred millions of dol lars. It is a query, we think, whether, the Presi dent was right in making public this correspon dence at the present tiMe.. Its effect may be to se riously embarrass our 'relations with foreign gov ernments, especially with those of England and France, and render it exceedingly difficult for us eery to get control of Cuba, or prevent it ftom fal ling into the hands of tile above mentioned Powers• Holding Office. The Indiana State Sentinel has the following sen sible and well-timed remarks on the subject of of. fice-holding, which are peculiarly appropriate at the present time. There are, doubtless, hundreds and thousands throughout the Union .who, from dearly-bought experience, will endorse all that the Editor has said. There is no greater folly imagin able than for a man to, t quit a good business at home for the purpose of discharging the duties of a pub lic office, unless it be one (and they are very few indeed) that will afford him a comfortable living and at the same time ! enable him to lay up some thing for a "rainy day;"— The Whigs are chuckling over the prospects of a split-up, division, and quarrel about the offices un der the new,Administtation. There is "fun ahead" they say. So far as Indiana is concerned there is no patronage worth Oarrelling about. There are but one or two offices in the State worth having.— Our Railroad Prestdrits, Clerks, Conductors and Engineers, receive higher compensation than the fees and salaries of most of the public officers in Indiana, including both State and National. If a man is engaged in anykind of profitable employment, whether professional,, mercantile, mechanical, or agricultural, ten chalices to one but he is making more money than he Could make out of any office in the gift of the Goyernment. We speak know ingly on this subject, ; having had some experience in that way. As to!the honors they are empty things. Men are often woefully deceived by the idea of receiving appOintments abroad—Charge or Consul, &c. We have scarcely ever known an in stance where one of these foreign appointees re turned with a dollar in his pocket. Some few of the highest grade of ministers pay very well, es pecially when they remain abroad but a short time; but in a majority of cases these appointments yield nothing. The same remarks will apply to bureau appoint: ments and clerkships in Washington. A man with a family, in the com'fortable enjoyment of a quiet home, with an income sufficient to meet all his de mands, is fascinated with the idea of receiving a salary of 1,000, 1,200 or 1,400 hundred dollars per annum. He receives an appointment as a clerk and at once considers himself the happiest man living. He goes to Washington where, alas! he finds all his imaginary riches swallowed up in the exorbitant expenses of living. On reaching the city he goes to some broker and sells his month's salary. In this way he goes en at the mercy of the money shaver, and never lives long enough to get even with the world. If he dies, his friends contribute money enough to perform the funeral rites, and his wife opens a boarding house where she spends the remainder of her days in poverty, living from hand to mouth. If a change of Administration takes place and the clerk id removed, he has either to re main in Washington and look for an uncertain and precarious support, or beg funds from his friends to take him back to his old home, where he returns broken down, dispirOed and out of employment.— This is a dark picture but it is a true one, and bles sed is the man who never dreamed of public office. Where is the wealth of this country? The great mass of it is in the hands of those who have never held public office, and those who have held office and amassed property have generally made it by other means than the emoluments of office. The Cautie of the Defeat. The Albany Knickerbocker, a Whig Journal, hits the nail on the head and gives some of the true causes of the overwhelming defeat of the Whigs.— If he had added some other items which haye ope rated greatly to complete the Whig overthrow, the list would have been complete and true to the life. For instance, Galphinism, peculation, frauds and dishonest conduct in every shape, besides a' truck ling to foreign powers and a disregard of the honor of the national tin. This paper has ;Mil the independence to rebuke many actions of the 'whig party during the canvass, and it now speaks ah follows "The ideas published by the leading Whig pa. pars, are behind the!age. They are decidedly old fogyish, and place an estimate on the good sense of the people, as unwarranted as it is insulting.— Before Greeley writes an article on 'British free trade,' he has got tomommit two absurdities—one is, that the labor of the country will not rea'on, and the other is, that it does not know how. By adhe ring to the principles of protection, the Whig party sacrifices the farmer, and the mechanic to the man ufacturer, and for the sake of obtaining a little powerles popularityjat Lowell, throws away the great States of New. York and Ohio. The foil) of this course has beeq shown not only at the election which has just closed, but at every election which has taken place since 1824. It was the high tar iff platform that defeated Clay. It was this hum bug that 'laid out' Wirt, and it is to this 'monoma nia' that we are now indebted for the defeat of Gen. Scott. As we said before, we hope the result of the No vember elections will teach wisdom to the Whig party: The defeat is so overwhelming, that noth ing but a thorough [revolution in its ideas can ever bring its candidates' to the surface again. Greeley must be taken under the shed and talked to. The Times must be catechised, and even the Jupiter of of the Journai taught the folly of staking the hopes of a great party on the rise and fall- of stew-pans, and curtain calico. If the Whigs would defeat the Democrats, they must do as the Democrats do, pray for the plough instead of the loom, and go. in for the farmers of the West instead of the cottonoczacy of Boston. Will they have the good sense to do so? Let us wait and see." 0- Every county in which Gen. Scce . rd. sought for that location !Cr the Military Asylum, either gave an increased ;majority against him beer the State election, or fell off from its vote at that time. Hamilton, Butler, Montgomery and other counties in this State are examples. Every city which he visited gave a majority pgainsf.him ! Every State in which he electidneered during his hunt' for that location, cast its electoral vote against him, and if he bad visited every Town, City, County and State in the Union, Pierce would have been elected unani mously I—Eaton (0.) Democrat. Er The Whigs of Gettysburg stole a march upon their Democratic friends. Finding the latter intended to celebrate their victory, the Whigs got up in advance a procession to Salt River. They had their roosters, their jugs, meat, flour, onions, nets, knapsacks, in short, every thing in the eating and clothing line that could be thought of, and some of them had their wives and little ones. The whole affair was well got up, and produced a great deal of good feeling on all sides, and was quite a damper on the Pierce "jollification."

See advertisement in another column. Er Tex CONCERT on Thursday , evening, by the Philharmbnic Society, attracted a large and fash ionable audience, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. We have heard but one opinion expressed in reference to the performance, and that is of unmingled delight and approbation. The mu• sic was decidedly rich and melodious, and some of the fine touches of Mr. KEFFEit, on his Violin, could scarcely be surpassed by any of the musical stars of the day. The singing - and performances on the Pi• ano, by Mr. Mao sass, of PhiladelPhia,added much to the general character of the Concert. DROWNED.—During the freshet in the Conestoga, on Saturday afternoon last, two men named Henry A. Brooke and Miller, were drowned, near Snavely's Mill, below the second Lock, in attempt ing to secure a log which had loosened from a raft. and was being carried away by the stream. The log struck the boat and capsized it, thi-owing them both into the water, where, being unable to swim, they perished. Their bodies were found on Sunday morning, and brought to this, city for interment.— Brooke was the Sawmiller at Snavely's and leaves a wile and three children, and Antler resided in town, and had been - married but three or four weeks. Napoleon 111. Emperor of France. The game has been boldly played by Louis Na poleon, and those who pronounced him a weak, vain man and a fool, did notknow his true calibre. The Senate'met 7 on the 4th inst., when a message was received from Louis Napoleon, announcing the approaching change in the Government. ." nation," says the message, "has clearly manifested its wish for the re-establishment of the Empire, and in this act the people find_a guaranty for its inter ests, and a satisfaction for its just pride. The peo ple nobly avenge its reverses without threatening any independence, and without troubling the peace of the world." On the Bth, a Committee of the Sen ate submitted a report which was adopted by a vote of 86 to 1. The articles in the report provide that 4uis Napoleon be named Emperor, under the title of Napoleon III.; the imperial dignity made hereditary in the line of Leas Napoleon, the privi lege extending only to the male heirs; Lous Napo leon failing of issue, the legitimate children and decendants in the male line of the brothers of the Emperor Napoleon 1., are to continue the succes sion; Louis Napoleon is to designate the succession by will; a Senatus Consultuin is to provide for the succession in default of .a legitimate or adoptive heir. The members of the family of the new Em peror form part of the Imperial family, and cannot marry without the Imperial authorization. The Constitution of January 15, 1852, is maintained in all provisions not conflicting with the proclamation of the Empire. The proposition is to be submitted to the acceptance of the French people. Jerome Bonaparte, the President of the Senate, subsequent ly had an interview with Louil Napoleon, and up braided him for the exclusion of his family from the succession, an act which Jerome deems an in sult to himself and his son. The President employ ed soothing language, but could not induce the ex- King to abate his complaints. Jerome has accor dingly resigned the Presidency of the Senate and the office of Governor of the Invnlides, and declares that he will hold no station but that of Marshal of France. The question of the ratification of the Empire was to be submitted to the people on the 2lst and 22d instant. Thus the first steps have been taken, the consummation will speedily follow, and the Empire ; probably be proclaimed on the-sec ond of December, the anniversary of the coup creiat, of -the proclamation of the Empire of Napoleon the elder, and of the battle of Austerlitz. A. Mountain. Tnt.oxitT,—We find the following in the Portsmouth (Vu.) Transcript : "A wealthy American merchant of the city of New Orleans, married a Creole lady of fortune, and with the estates and servants, there came into his p ossession a mulatto seamstress and her daughter, a child of seven years. The gentleman was so much strtrtk with the extraordinary beauty of the child, Which had the purest Italian features and complexion, that he resolved to save it from a life of degradation which' was before it, and free it and educate it. He sent her to,a, Northern school, where she remained until her sixteenth year—by all sup posed to be a patrician Cieole maiden. She her self knew not to the contrary—so young was she when she went North. Beloved by all her com panions, the idol of the 'institnte, and caressed by every one, she left to return South, as she had sup posed, to the "roof of her uncle." A young Louis iania gentleman, who had,seen her in Philadelphia, and loved her, and - was beloved by her, sought her hand on her return. The'marriage day was fixed, the day arrived, when the' mother, who had been long told away in La Fourche Interior, in order that she might never appear as a witness against her child, re-appeared in the bridal hall ; in the very hour after•, the ceremony had been performed, claimed the magnificent and now miserable bride as her own daughter—a Bond slave by birth, and ran by blood ! The scene, as described by .ne .ho was present, surpasses the power of pen portray. That night the bridegroom, after charg ing the adopted father of his bride with his gross deception, shot him throtigh the body and disap. peared, carrying, no one [knew whither, his infa my and his bitter sorrivs. The next morning the bride was found, "a disfigured corpse, in corpse, in the superb nuptial chamber which had been prepared for her reception. She had taken poison! Education, a cultivated mind and taste, which made her see and understand how great was her degradation, now armed her hand with the ready means of death. The unhappy planter re covered from his wound, and removed to the North, where he resides, buried in the deepest seclusion, the residue of his years embittered by the keenest regrets." A Noble Example Under this head the Middletown(Pa.)Emporium records the following magnanimous act : Mr. GEORGE M. LAtimix, formerly of Middle town, was called upon a few days since, as we learn,•to contribute towards " an ox Roast " and general jubilee at Portsmouth, in honor of the late Democratic victory. With that usual well known, liberality of that gentleman, he gave two hundred dollars to the applicants-4o be appropriated, how• aver, to the purchase of flour and fuel for the poor of Portsmouth during the coming winter, instead of the contemplated rejoicings . Such acts of benev olence and generosity are characteristic of the man, and the appropriation thus made will no doubt be more satisfaetory to the President elect, and the Democratic party at large, than if the amount had been double, for a different purpose. • THE TENTH LEGION.

He was a fugitive from labor elsewhere, and was ta ken not South but North. The Court also expressed its regret that . such a thing should occur at the Prison, and expressed a hope that measures would be taken to prevent such occurrences in future.— The Bells ,were discharged by public proclamation.

The indictment charges him with committing an assault and battery on the person of Christiana Remak, a young girl who was liv ing with him in the capacity of servant at the time of the alleged offence, and some two years previous. The testimony of the girl and another witness for the Commonwealth, (Mr. Butt' was direct as to the commission of the offence ; but the defence set up was that the general charac ter of the witnesses for the prosecution rendered them unworthy of belief. A sad spectacle was here presented to the court. Miss Remak's sister wait called to the witness stand, and testi• fled that she would not believe her sister on oath!

The reader will. recollect the particulars of a brutal outrage by four Irishmen, in Augusta County, Va., some time since upon the person of a young lady who was on her way with her betrothed to the marriage altar. The principal offender was tried last week, at Staunton, found guilty, and sentenced to forig years confine- ment in the penitentiary. The accessories in the horrid crime are to be tried separately. The young man who was in company with her at the time of the attack, has since married her, and they now live together as man and wife. 1117" A German chemist has discovered that there is sugar in tears.
