THE ELECTION.
We haVe delayed our paper un
til the last moment, to give to. our
readers the result or the election
held yesterday, 'but now find our
selves with partial returns. We
think, however, that we are safe in
announcing the success of the
EN
TIRE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. The
only one in doubt, is Mr. SANDER
SON, against whom all the efforts of
the Whigs have been directed—the
returns showing a falling off, from
Longstreth's vote, last fall, of 268
votes,—when the latter had 507
majority. Should the remaining
towns do reasonably well, his elec
tion is certain, by a handsome ma
jority. The poll has been a light
one, and under cover of the gene
ral apathy in our party, the Whigs
by a vigorous aqd-secret rally upon

need no longer auger from the effects of lamp
on their carpets, an article having been introduced
for lighting parlors or stores, known as " William's

It sheds; a soft light, burning in beautiful jetssim-

adapted to the hand, centre table or store.
Mr. Williams also manufactures an improved

of some of our ablest chemists, produces a flames
lxiliant, that for one cent an boor a light is famish

the light of one lamp, the print of this paper can be

feet from the flame—this must indeed be light
enough and cheap enough for the most rigid econ
omist: He also exhibited to us a house lamp, which
he assured ps would burn as a night lamp, at a cost
of but one =at for an entire night, and yet with a
connivance so simple that in the twinkling of an
eye it can be made to produce a most briliant light.

The Baltimore American publishesihe follow - mg
private letter as a.docement to be relied on :
Naw-Yong, Oct 2, 1849.
My DtAll I.—, A singular development has
been made here within the last 24 boors. I will
not trouble you with my source of information, but
a Frenchman of our acquaintance has ascertained
the facto, and I know you may relit on them.
He says that the reason of M. de Tocqueville's
letter to our Secretary of State is that he was do
fending his own instructions to Poessin—that
the rupture with MP. was the, result of it Toe•
gueville's own ignorance of the law of salvage,
and that he could not dismiss P. without disgracing
himself.
Be says he has seen the instructions of M. de
T.wmpfeville to Fontein in the case of Carpender,
and That they direct Pousain it, address to our Go- I
verntnent a protest against the law of salvage . , and
consequently against the seizure and detenston of i
the Eugenie. as involving the dignity of the Amer.
ices Marine and that there is not an insultirg ex
pression in the letter of Ponsein, for which he was:
mtemommunicated, which is not to be found in al-
most the very same words in M. de Tocqueville's
instructions, except that in Which M. Ponssin went
out of his way to sneer about the little interest
Frenchmen felt when they had occasion.to condemn
an American officer, in anything he could say in
self-defense.
He saes also that M. de Toegneville, who is no
lawyer, but a literary saran, entirely ignorant of the
law of salvage existing in Mexico; had sent docu
ments to Poussin from which he inferred two great
errors : First, that salvage could never be claimed
unless a vessel was billed; and second, that sal
rage could never be claimed by a national vessel
or man-of-wax. I asked him how M. de Tucque
vale came to be so misled—l say misled, because
I hear that there is no difference of opinion among
the jurists here, who all concur that Carpender was
clearly entitled to salvage; and had a right to de
tain the vessel, not merely under the general mari
time law of lien, but under the settled law of Mex.
ico, which allows the salvor to detain the vessel
saved until bond is given!" for the payment of the
salvage to be assessed by the Mexican judicial tri
bunals. He says that M. ode Tocqueville read the
violentettacics made in the Mexican papers upon
Lieut. Carpender and upon this county in the Au
tumn of last year, in which they charge that the
American people were a nation of plunderers and
pirates; that the Eugenie was seized and forcibly
detained by Carpender,
who, as they said, not
- entitled to salvage: . fir st, because the vessel was
not bided, and secondly, because the demand of
salvage by a man-of-war was a disgrace to the
American marine, and no other nation claimed it.
The first abusive article on the subject was pub
ished by the editor of the official °mon, • in the city
of Mexico, who has a deep hatred kir our country
on account of the Mexican War. He further says
that the Fiench Charge d'Affaires, at Mexico, sent
all there violent articles home to his own avant
meat, and joined in the hue and cry about the
" seizure " of the Eugenie for salvage, as adistnace
to the American Government and people. Upon
these documents M. de Toequeville acted, and in.
sheeted M. Pousein to demand the disgrace of
Captain Carpender, not doubting that the Mexican
editors understood the ease. Thus it was that Pecs
' sin infused all the Mexican malevolence and is
norance of the usages of nations into his reply to
Mi. Clayton. The latter, little dreaming that M. de
Tocqueville was personally interested in the lines
lion of honor, and of course not supposing that the
French Government Would sustain the . insolenee,
instructed Mr. Rush to lay bekore M. de Tocque
villtrand the President of France the very insult
which IL 'de Toequeville, from either ignorance of
the law of Marianne_ States and of France, had
stupidly directed M. .Poussin to perpetrate. He
says 151. de Totxmartille folly telieved till Mr. l
Rash complained of the insult, that a national ves
sel was not entitled to salvage. The complaint of
our Government took him by surpr ise . He mays it
'was determined to recall • Poustiin in July . last , but

der's conduct. This toe, be says,laccounls for the
extraordinary delay in M :det,Tocquesille?s answer
to the complaint of the American Government, he
doubting what was proper io be done in so embar
rassing a position. Ile thinks, too, thal this also
acemmts for iris letter to Mr. Rush. in Which you
have seen Attempts to implicate the Seerelaiy
°Mite, and this to rave Ins own Minister. He
says betas no doubt M. Panora would have been

thinks )t. Poulton will be recalled and that Mr.

munerative to the producer. The giantity of this

Last Monday week no less than 3474 baskets were
