TIIE ELECTION.
to
We have delayed our paper one day. to enable ns
"fit. the vote of. the different townships of the county.
But we are unable even now, to make up a 18110 P with a
tolerable degree of accuracy, except for Sheriff. which ip
compkp•, and we believe accurate. Although we are
unable to cive the figures, we have returns from eveiy
district. on which we can rely with certainty, to warrant
oa io announcing the complete and triumphant purees,.
of our whole ticket. except, po. , oidly, our candidate for
'Treasurer; and we hope and believe, that the official re
turtni will chow that he too stands among the victors. t it
'beaten, h is no tank of his: nor is it because he had any
weaker hold upon the confidence of his democratic friends
than the most favored one in the ranks of the successful,
but circumstances which neither he nor his frier:de could
led to his disadvantage, and as we have
not without Oar
ertaiidy carried both Representatives, She
tan•. Regiitcr and Recorder, 6ommitsioner,
Auditor; and our'majority fur Canal CUM-
is conceded on all hands, will he at least
200, and probably may reach 300, although we have not
been able to obtain the returns in such a shive as to give
them to our readers. Every other interest was almost
lost sight of in the excitement for Sheriff & Prothonotary.
and we might odd, in the contest fo defeat Col. Piollett,
one of our candidates fir Representative. On him, the
Whigs let loose their "dogs of war." They put forth
their strongest man, John C. Adams, Esq., avowedly to
beat Col. P., and, right gallantly did their men come up
to his support. Their whole army was concentrated up
on this point of ours; Capt. Webb, of the other wing,
was permitted to walk over the ground without a chow
of opposition, or at least so trilling as only to amuse him.
But Col. P. was vernier!) , odious to the Federal camp,
and his destruction was the grand object of the whigs in
this campaign. He was assailed at every point, by the
veterans of the Federal army, and at the rery corn
menceinent of tbeconffict, a shourvisa vet up. and echoed
front one end of thelline to the other, that "Col. P:olLt
must be beaten I' 'Emery thing was done, that \Vhig
desperation could.invero, to brow-brat and intimidate at
the weak points, and at. the strong to weaken the ronfi
)denee of democrats. by boldly asserting, that our army
was broken at one place, that desertion was taking place
at another, and "screws loose" all about the camp.' But
the,phantom is lied—the delusion is vanished—and the
whig phalanx occupy their same old position in Bradford,
Conquered and dismayed."
• The vote for County officers cannot be taken ass true
test of our party strength. Local and extraordinary eh
cumstanesa, gave peculiar direction to the votes for these
ollices;in many instances, which wool,) have been oth
erwise had they been cast for a State officer, where vo
ters could See principle clearly involved.
The nearest and truest test in this election, will be
found in the vote' fur Canal Commissioner, anJ Repre
aentative which wewill Rive in our nest, in an official
form. Weshall then advert to this sutject again.
NOSTII Bea:vett CA7LIL.—By the following article
from the Luzerne llemqcrat, it will be seen that the in
stalment of $9 upon aach share of the stock hat been
paid in. Thia will be gratifying intelligence to the citi
zens of Bradford, uho in their deep anstety have hardly
dared to hope for the speedy completion of the North
Branch :
',The last news from New York is, that the stockhold
there hare paid up the amount of the second instalment
of $9 00, on their shares. This secures to the people of
Pennsylvania the certainty of the comptetidn of the
North Branch .'anal. All doubt now is banished, and
the future beams forth with a. glorious .promise. The
payment of the New York share holders, now pets the
Canal into the hands of the Company. $lOO,OOO paid,
pate the Canal from the Lackawana to.Solumon's Creek
into the Company's hands and there can. no longer ex
ist any question as to the result. Well, our people have
long waited for this news and, too often been disappoint
' ed in expectations' that deserved better treatment.
The people of Northern Pennsylvania were never
among the ranks of repudiators—they have met, and
freely too, their share of the public burthens and their
taxes have gone to make up the sum to save thesinking
credit of the state—arid while they have done' this, as
men of honor and integrity, hoping for the Stateto make
this canal, they have nevertheless taken the misfortune
of the ability el: the State to meet her pledge to them as
reasonable min. W hen the riatkki-hour overshadowed
them, no murmur, no comp:aint was heard : but now
that pro:yet:A is more losorable. they rejoice, and they re
joice as men who (el that justice is about being done to
them. And this feeling pervades tha whole northern
country. The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic,
the Laborer—all fell that this great work is to be of last
ing utility to Northern Pennsylvania. But while this
great work is toi,c useful to the people end of great be
nefit to the territory through Which it paws, the com
munity must be immensely enriched. And our brethren
in New Y:irk will he accommodated with the anthracite coal
'of the Wyoming anti Lactawana. 'twill in facegive new
impulse to trade and manufacture, the great facility af
fordeO by the countless streams that flow into the Sus
unchains, will, in a fe'w years turn s thousand wheels,
that shall put in motion all kinds- of manufactories.
This canal will be a counntslious channel to market,
end the bark utoods of Pennsylvania must become the
place for enterprise in all branches ofcommerce. What
has heretofore been of comparatively little or no value,
will now be sought after by the keen eye of *peculation.
Let it be en. Give us the Canal and cur mineral wealth
Will not only enrich our own people, but thousand" be
yond our own borders. Give us the canal! this has
beets the cry far ten years. Now we have it—and the
hearts of the people are made glad."

.The people of Texas were to vote upon its adoption
on the t3th of October. There is no question about its
ratification by the popular vote, although it may lose a
l a few votes in consequence of some apprehensions aixto
the effect it may have upon the titles to land. There can
be no solid foundation for these fears. The claimants
of lands may be assured that full justice will be done in
the courts of the United States in their behalf.
Sr' ITIM 0/ TOIL Hut. JOHN WIIITE.--.MO learn
from the Lexington (Ky.) Observer of. the 24th inst.,

during the 27th Congress, committed suicide by blOwing

TERRITIC Icaintwtsn.A Most terrific whirlwind
passed through the northern part of the county of Or
leans, in New York State, on Saturday last, which, for
its magnitnde and extent of devastation, was perfectly
frightful. It commenced at Johnson's creek, in Niagra
county. took a northeast course through the town* of
Yates and Carlton, in the county of Orleans, and spent
its fury in the lake. Like a destroying angel it passed
through the country and desolation marks its path. It is
reported that its track is some 160 rods'wide, and seven
teen or twenty miles in length. Huge forest bees were
twisted from their trunks and burled in mid-air like
feathers. Orchards are uprooted, barns and houses un
roofed, and many so completely destroyed as to - leave
scarce a wreck behind. Some of the best and ablest
farmers are completely ruined, and many have sustained
heavy losees in the destruction of the corn and grairis
wherever-they were stacked,
Tat Ma statto Etat.l-Rm.—The molt of the elec
tion last Wednesday is the election of Thus:Democrats to
Congress and two Whigs, being a Democratic gain of
four members. The House of Delegates stands, on far,
39 Democrats and 43 Whigs. Last year there were but
21 Democrats in the House. The Senate will be still
largely Whig, as there was but one to be elected this year,
which is Gilled by a Democrat
CONN LCTICCT.—The last Legislature adopted such
measures, that hereafter elections will be decided by plu
ralities—, not majorities. This will put an end to the
importance of third parties.

Supreme Bench of the United States in place of Judge

•Thp trial of Smith A. Boughton, alias "Big
Thunder," on a charge of Robbery, which

near Copake Flats, on the Ilth of December
last, was brought to a close yesterday, and the
Jury retired at 15 mintites before nine o'clock
in the evening, after a session of 23 days.—
The charge of Judge Edmonds which was

prisoner, and the Jury came into Court

verdict of G earv.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the' court
again convened to pass sentence upon the
prisoner, and the spacious Coon House was

question of what he had to say why sentence
should not he passed, the prisoner rose mod
responded that he had been convicted of that

he must submit to the requirements of the law

said that the prisoner had had the benefit nf as

The editor of the Warsaw Signal aitemp's
to lay the crime upon the Sheriff of Hanco•k
,•nunty. as he had heen seen in the same neigh

The St Louts papers all agree in pronounc
ing the outbreak as bong without any substan

••convention " assembled near Carthage. was
a mere pretence to me a coloring to the vio
lence intended aeainst the Mormons. Up to

and grain.
The following intprestine items, we extract
from a letter from the editor of the St. Louis
Republican, dated tVarsaw. 17th inst. :
In tutu war of extermination they include not
only the Mormons. but all who are suspected
of favoring the Mormon cause. or of harboring
Mormons about them. The reports vary very
much as to the number of houses burned. At
Quincy the number was stated at from fifty to
sixty ; but I think this a large estimate. 'The
Anti-Mormons. I am told, are divided into two
companies. One is known as the •• Fire and

to Mormon buildings and drivP the occupants oft

A number of people. especi , illy women and
children, are , leaving the county as fast as they
ran get away. I found a number. with their
baggage and household affairs, on the hank of
the river. Thus far the Mormons have fled in
every instanre, making little or no r e si.i l anee ;
hut they cannot flee much further, and they
[oust either stand and fight shortly, or leave
the county.
It is reported here, and credited, that the
same process of horning out the Mormons. has
commenced in the upper part of this co‘mtv.
it is said that they have commenced hurninE the
Mormon houses in the La Harpe and Camp
creek settlem ent.
Alarm and excitement pervade all classes.
and terror is depicted on the countenance Mall
the families I have, yet seen. 'rhis week
believe moat bring matters to an issue. From
th.. apparent concert with which the Anti-
Mormons are acting—their simultaneous at
tacks—the deep and deadly hatred which they
entertain to the Mormons—the fact that the
Mormons from all the settlements nut of Nau
von. are being driven into the city—l judge
a fight must come off this week, which will
probably give a predominancy to one party or
the other.
A letter fram the editor. dated Warsnw
Sept. 17, published in the St. Limit. Repubii-
can ill the 19111, says that at Warsaw and
Quint.) , the exeitPment was intense. A war
of extermination is determined on by the
Anti-Mormons, and in that war they include
not only Mormons but all who favor or harbor
them. -
Thirty-three 'looses. it is reported, have been
burned in the Morley settlement alone, and two
Mormons killed at Quincy, and three or four
others wounded.
The troops of Adams and Pike enmities were
to he ealled and a messenger had been tie
spateited to Gov: Ford. Warsaw was vigilantly
guarded.

It appears that the Anti-!llortnons con

Backenstos failed in raisin a posse strong
enough to stop, these movements without re

MortmoN WAR.---The St. Louis Reporter
of the 30th ult. says he Boreas. arrived
yesterday. reports that• General Hardin had
arrived in Hancock county with a number of
men, and that a portion of the militia from
Pike county had also arrived ; that Gen. Har
din had orders_ to march into Nauvon, if he
thought'proper to do so, with a view to re
store peace. Backenstos, the sheriff of Han
cock county, doubted or denied the authenti
city of the proclamation issued by Governor
I Ford. and hod warned all armed men to keep
! out of the county ; but this error was prob.
lily discovered in season to prevent any iliffleul
ty in relation to the approach of the troops or
dered out by the governor.
Report also says. about fifty picked men had
been sent out by the anti-Minimum. to attack
a party of Mormons. who were said to he col
feeling cattle near Warsaw, and it was sup
posed a fight would come off on Saturday last
Ibetween the parties ; but this report is ques
tionable. The aspect of affairs is not quite so
bad as it was a few days ago; and, if the
proposition of the Mormons to leave the coun
t try has been finally rejected, it is probable
they will be permitted to remain. without much
more'difficulty or danger.
