Bilassachusetto Election.
-reports have beer received from every town
which failed to choose reresentittives at the first
elections, except thre - e : Wendell, Hancock, and
Middlefield. the two first 01 which sent coalitionists
last year, and the other, a whi;. Upon - a careful
scrutiny 01 the (emir's, we count 48 whip as elect•
ed, and 41 opposition. As each side had chosen
100 members at the previous election, our count
gives the whigs seven majority over all others in
the House, securing in that puny the power to fill
die vacancies in the Senate, and the election of a
governor and United States Senator.
The Commonwealth (free soil) divides the House
—whig, 148 ; opposition, 142. 'Mehemet (whip
)
makes it consist of 149 whips, 1-22 coalitions, and
17 anti coalition democrats. A large number of
towns have failed 10 choose, and the House will not
be more than halt full. Whoever Counts right, the
triumph of the whips is certain, and Massachusetts,
whose political creed. considering the intelligence
of her people, slionlil be democratic, is likely to re
lapse permanently into the ennui)! oldie whips,
•The increase in the number of entkoalition de
mocrats, (produced partly by an anxions pursuit of
places in the Boston Cturtory. House, and partly by
ho s t i lity t o Horace Mann, whose election as GeV.
ernnr was likely to lallaw the success of the coali
tionists.) and the cross cut of the liquor question,
which MIA twa t ost the coalitionists, as a coalition
Legislature had the responsibility of passing the
Maine Law, have been the main cause of the re
sult.
Those, so called, " National . ' Democrat•, who
profess a great horror of coalitions, have not ecru•
pled to employ them as a means of Ovine the mare
to the whiga. In many towns representam es liars
been elected by r uch unions between •r Nationals"
and whigs.
It is pretty certain that the opponents of the Maine
Law have secured' a majority in the House. If so,
as Mr. Clifford, the whig candidate for Governor, is
unfriendly to the law, its repeal seems inevitable.

The following communication from a leading (!e
-mocratic citizen is well timed. No democrat labor•
ed with more eloquence and effect throughout the
late campaign than Col. Frazer. Far more than
our correspondent says is deserved. The Colonel
is, and ever has been, a working private in the
ranks. He is the first to mount the breach and
storm. the enemy's outwork. Afier vicnuies he
asks none elfin; rewards except to see the
legiti
mate Irons of honest government administratedOp4
on democratic principles.
Col. Reap .Frazer.
The unparalelted victory achieved by the demo
vary at the la.e election is a matter of great joy and
gratification, as well it deserves to he, to every de
mocrat in the country. The different States of the
Union, even inclntling Massachusetts and Vermont,
Fhich have given pluralities for Gen Scott, have

moms' of the Arch has assumed, and justly prides
himself upon the - great majority his own State has
rolled op for the Etentoeranu nominees.
The Detnoenry nt this State were everywhere
active and vigilant. Every member of the party
exhibited an interest in the welfare °Ms principles,
which has been well'rewarded by the brilliant yin--
tory which has been gained'. Amongst those who
were zealous and active in the good work of an:
complishing this grand result, we noticed with plea.
sure Col Reah.Frazer, of Lancaster. the " Old War
(forms of Democracy." His efforts in (titterer., parts
of the State, his able and eloquent speeches in the
counties of Centre, Clinton, Blair, Dauphin, Perry,
&r., did much to arouse the democracy of the-e sec
tions and infuse into them awerier* which matt•
ing could appease. His power on the stump is in
ferior in that of no man in the State. Hie masterly
etpositione of denineratio princiides—his elm:pent
tributes to the democratic party for its many bril
liant achievements ih governmentalscience—and
the manner iw which he handles the greet opponent
of the democracy, always inspire his auditory tvi-h
fresh- vigor, and awakened an enthusiasm and leek
ing which can never fail to bring with them pod
results. The democracy of the tinny places which
he visited during the campaign which closed on the
2,1 in.t.. in the total rout and discomfiture of whig
gery, will long remember his labors - amongust
them, and whilst they return to him their hearty

Death Of the non. John Sergeant
lion. John Sergeant thril st:nine o'clock on Tues
day, at his residence in this city. A long and pain
ful illness had given abundant warning of this sad
event. but the loss to the city and the grief' of his
friends at the decease of so eminent a man are not
lessened by the preparation for it. Mr. Sergeant'
was born in Philadelphia, fleeember 5111, 1779, and
hail therefore nearly completed his seventy-third
year. He graduated at Princeton in 1795, was ad
mitted to the bar in 1799, and at once acquired a
lucrative practice. He held many offices of trust
the early part of his career; was elected to Con
,gress. in 1815 and wal re:elected to three Ware
grient terms. In 1825 he was President of the
Board of Canal Commissioners, and in 1826 was
appointed by President Adams a member of the
proposed Panama Congress. On his return from
Mexico, where he spent some time 'Waiting the
re-assembling of this - botly,• he was re-elected to
Congress, anti in• the following year ware again' a
candidate, but defeated by Judge Hemphill.. In
1832 he was the Whig candidate for the Vice Prem.
dericy on the ticket with' Mr Clhy. In 1838 he was
President of the Stale Convention to revise the Con
stitution. in 184 U he was again Petit to *Congress
Soon afterwards President Tyler offered him the
mission to England, which he declined, His' l at e
public service was as arbirratitr to settle the contro
versy between the State of New Jersey and the
United States, which he disposed of• finally. Mt.
Sergeant has since then devoted himself to his pro.
Muilincapacilated for it by declining health.
He was a mud 'of' crorig rreurfd judgment
and devoted patriotism ; a profound jurist, a useful
citizen, .a periemrta lumen. and a true Christian.—

doutaeilly cceasimied by the carelessness of the
engineer in letting the water get to low, and the
moment the engine was stopped to let the boat pass
the guardloek, it eiploded with such a shock as to
shake the houses all over lO*kli:
The editor of the Zanesville Courier has
rd with several persons on the ill-failed boat, and
thus reports the sensations of too of them at the
first moment they were conscious of the accident:
One gentleman was sitting reading about midway
in the gentlemen's cabin, and the next.knowledge
he had of himself, he was laying in the lady's; cab
in Fie supposed that he was thrown upwards
through the hurricane roof to a considerable bight,
and then fell through the wreck into the ladies' de
partment, a distance of 60 or 80 feet from where he
was sitting. He assisted the ladies on the wreck,
but was scarcely Conscious of what he was doing,
and insensible to the effects of some scalds arid
severe bruises atria after the excitement was over.
Another gentleman, who was asleeii in a berth
im
mediatel) over the boilers, says that lie had sense.
!ions similar to what a person might imagine he
would have by falling over a roaring cataract of sev.
,eral hundred feet, and although but a moment or
- two in "mid ait,"'the incidents of a life passed
through his mind, He recovered hisconsciouriness
after falliogithri flie water, about a rod,or two from
shore. Where the latter gentleman was reposing
everything around was blown entirely away, and
scattered into thousands of fragments.
- A letter to the Columbus Journal makes mention
of an act ofdiscretion arid bravery on the part of a
young lady passenger highly creditable:- Senator
Covey was sitting in the ladies' cabin, and, in the,
crash, the stove, near which he was sitting, was
thrown upon him and broke his leg. A young lady
of our acqnaintance, Miss Charlotte Stone, of M.
Connelsville, manifested peat presence of mind.— .
,
By her exertions, she rerhoied the hot stove from
Mr. Covey and took' him trom the cabin wreck In
the guard of the boat. She then procured a mattress.
and put him on it till he could be removed. The
hot stove, with its miming contents, was on the
floor; and would have soon set the wreck on fire.
She took blankets and sheets from the berths, and,
plunging them in the water, thew them on the
store arid floor, and thus avoided that danger. In
telligence was received at Columbus on the 18th
Mat, that Senator Covey could rot r urvive . his in•
juries.

TTIP: UNTTIED STATES SPAIN AND CETI %,—The In
lelligencer publishes another portion of the officihl
documents, relative to the Island of Cuba, transmit
ted to Congress during the last session. These
embrace letters born Mr. Adams, Mr Clay, Mr.
Forsyth, from the year 1822;to 1826. There seem.
ed at that time to he strong apprehensions on the
part of the Spanish Government,•that Cuba would
declare itsell independent. That a revolution was
secretly- preparing,. fomented by communications
between. a society of Free-masons in Cuba, and
another of the same fraternity in Philadelphia. A t
the same time, on the part of the United States
Government, there was an apprehension 'hat-Cube,
in the war between France and Spain, and the con
flict which Spain was waging with her revolted
previnces., would fall into the hands of France or
England, as *pain would be unable from the loss
of her dominions on the American continent, to ex
tend to Cuba . that protection necessary for its inter
nal security and outward defense. The burthen
of the correspondence is to assure Spain, that the
United States would do nothing to encourage revo
lution in Cuba. as they had no designs of aggran
disements, the same time it would u 'e all the
means in its power to prevent the Wand falling in
:the hands of Great Britain. All the correspondence
is'not yet published—there are other letters to fol
low. They are chiefly interested as showing the
around which has been taken on the subject of the
Islam! ofTubs, by the drflerent administrations of
this Government during the Inst thirty years.

A communication to the Herald, gives a full ac
count of the actions of the miners in Jacksonville
in expelling the Chinese. 11 appears that the au
thorities pl Jacksonville interfered in the first place,
to protect the Chinese in work iriTtheir claims, pro
ceeded so far, even, as to arrest five of the persons
who were carrying out the milling regnlations in
this respect. The latter parties submitted peacebly
to the arrest, and were taken to Jacksonville, but
liberated on parole. On the same evening, (Friday
22.1 itist .) a meet rig of miners wcs.held. in the
Empire House. which was addreelieif by Captain
Amyx, G. B. Harris, and Mr. Eddy, at which it
was resolved to meet the next morning to enfrove
the miners' regulations. Accordingly, next morn
ing, (Saturday,) at a 8 o'clock the miners assem
bled. chose Capt Amyx as their leader, and went
through all the Chinese camps in die Jacksonville
mining district, summarily expelling - rhe Chinese
wherever they. went. Th'e. - auttiorities endeavored
to interfere, but were perfectly powerle.s in the
premises; and finally, the prisoners above mention
ed, were discharged, there being no testimony
forthcoming to convict them of any oflence against
the laws
Moquefemne Hill-and the rich mining country
around it will-he watered. it is confiiently hoped,
by the MoqueleunniCanal and Mining Company,
who"expeei to have their works in lull opera ion
iowards the latter end of Decemhe'. Should they be
ifisppoinied in their expec:a' INIP, they will at all
events be enabled to othed a supply of water, in
continuation of that derived from the rains
San Andres, distant about ten miles trom the Hill
has two ditches for supplying its rich places. One
brings in the water tron. Wtlkrw Cieek, and trav
erses a section of Country but very little worked.
•and Which abounds in rich gold deposits. The
other is from the stream known as Maine's Branch.
one of the tributaries of the Calsrelas. These will
F flord an abundant supply, and the claims are gen
erally taken, arid piles of earth thrown up along
the line. /
Angell's Camp derives its supply from the creek,
which will be further increased by the great canal
running from tie Stanislans. The, txrtning ground
around this camp is not suipaSi4d by any in the
country.
Murphy's Camp derives its supply from the
same source. This creek has afforded sufficient
water during the summer to work a dew 10111 P, and
will, of course, be the means of great employ merit
during the winter. The Murphy's canal will sup
p'y a district of country hitherto untouched by the
pick and shovel, and which will afford constant
occupation for numberless hands
Turning towards the north, we find Volcano
supplied by Sutter's Creek, While in the gulch they
will have more than they want. Clinton and Se
cretoare well watered by the south branch of:Jack
son creek and on the middle branch are placers
that will richly repay labor. Jackson's rich resour.
ces are provided for by both streams, by which an
immense amount of gold will be turned out. The
vicinity of Sutter clertves ample means of washing
from its own creek ; while Amadore, Rarcheria,
Dry Creek, and othercamps, will be abundantly
supplied by their respective streams: Drytown,
this year, will have ire additional advantage of the
Cosumnes canal, which will pronjyte ,the interests
of the miners, and be most beneficial to the sur
ronndine Country.
Altogether, the prospectdwinter digging in liet'
ter this year than it ever has been hope that
miners will, in . . great measure be relieved from
vexatious delays and exiitensive and toilsome jour
neys in claim hunting.
