The Recent Elections.
The "sober second thought" of the people
(says the Washington tition,) was never dis,
played in. a more striking and satisfactory
manner than in the recent State election in
New Hampshire, rind the town elections in
the States of/Maine and New It would
seem that the season of political excitement,
stimilated to the wildest and maddest extent
by- fanatics and demagogues, is nearly — at an
end, and that that portion of the people who
have fur a time boon led away by false lights and
false teachers are slowly but surely returning
to the old land marks,' and renewing their
covenant' with a party . through which alone
the oonstitution can be upheld and the Union
Preserved. It is true that in New Hampshire
a complete Democratic triumph has nut been
_achieved : hut 'the result, as far as WzOeftaill
0011ClUAlVely shows that the Black, Repub
licans of that State have been shorn of their
strength, and that it will not require many
more trials before her Democracy will recover
her former strength and supremacy,
The result of the town elections in New
York is more decided, and gives promise of
an earlier victory for the popular cause. In
the towns which gave President Duchanitn
majorities last November, those majorities
have been largely increased. A considerable
number of the Black Republican strongholds
have been carried by the exulting Democrats.
Nor is this all, In many towns, where a com
plete fusion took,plaec between the Black Be
publicans and Nnow Nothings, the Democrats
achieved a brilliant triumph, in spite of the
coalition.
In the State of Maine we have precisely the
same results, ander precisely the same oft-
cumstances

The Dred Scott Case,
IVe And the following well-timed and judi
cious remarks upon the recent Dl:Cision tl,o
United States Supreme Court in. the I)red
Scott case, in a late nionhor of the
tun Union, and commend them to the consid
eration of all right-thinking men, That pn
per says :
That it will eenstituto a prominent era in ,
our
. judicial history all will whuit: It will
receive univer4al ettention in the country, ;
from the feet that almost every reading man,
to whatever party ho may belong, has read
the discussion of the histury soft validity of
the Missouri Compromise, and is titialithfd to
1111 1 11•NtItlif t the reasoning of the court,
We cherish it most ardent and confident
expectation that this decision will meet a
priee.,r n 1,1,1,6011 from the great mass el our
intelligent comitrymen ; that it will be regard
ed with seberness and not with passion ; fart
that it will thereby exert It mighty inthieriee
in diffusing Mound opinions and restorite , har
mony and fratemal - concord threugho the
ceuntry. It mes at an auspicious period,
1 lad it been pronounced—which could hardly
have been ple.sible—during the exeitementof
ft re esidential canvass, its useful effect, for
the present at least,'would have been lost.
Though no less( just end constitutional than
it is, it would have been temporarily over
whelmed -in the surges of party chimer.
Now, hms-ever, the excitement and strife of the
late eeevass are happily abated. The so ber '
seeond thought has returned to the people ;
fuel they are well prepared to receive the
judgment of the highest tribunal in the laud,
even if it, in 'early inJanees, differs front their
.own favorite`politival opinions.

The North anti the South have different in

that people -who have been differently educat

It is gratifying to see that a hotter feeling

correctly says:—.''Thousands who have here,
tofore acted with the Know Nothing party,
now see that it is a humbug, that it can never
benefit the country, and that the Democratic
party alone can hush discord, put down fanat
icism, preserve the Union, and give to the peo
ple pence and prosperity. Popes, paupers,
and ldl the scarecrows that have been made
out of them, give no alarm, and they would
as lief have their ears saluted with 'Monsieur
Tonson come again as to hear a stump orator
pouring forth frightful declamation on these
topics, about which they have already had a
surfeit of words to no profit."

TORONTO, March (.4.—We learn the follo w .
ing particulars of the railroad accident near
Hamilton from a gentleman, who left the
scene of this disaster morning. The aecident
occurred on the Great Western Railway, at the
Bridge over the Des Jardins Canal, which i s
-elevated some sixty feet above water. The
bridge swine-s, and it is supp red that the
train which swings,
passed a short time before
had sunk the bridge so much that the Iticiano-,
tive of the train was obstructed by the abut
ments to such a degree that the passenger
cars were raised up and thrown into the canal,
—The numher of passengers was estimated
at from seventy-five to one numiroll, of whi c h
only fifteen were taken alive from tie wreck,
awl of these five have shire died.
The water in the canal is eighteen feet deep,
and nearly all liaise n e t immedi m ndy
were drowned. The engine and tender,. witlt
the engineer and fireman, were pitched Lead
long into the canal, and are buried tArenty
feet below the surface. e baggage car and.
two passenger ears are compleody shattered,
and one of the latter turned hotton., , side up

He, however, pulled up stakes one fine-morn

and his family in Pennsylvania lost sight ut .
him entirely. In the meantime a younger
brother, by frugally taking care of his earn
ings, was entailed to start a roach line between
Spruce:ereek'und Williamsburg, consisting 4.f

Mygfery, Murder, Romandrit awl Crime in
Mernphig, Tesin.—A short time since a young
man by the name of Tanner; in -Memphis,
Term., of most blameless life and manners,
was assassinated in the street at night. It
was not - known that he had an mesuy in tho
world, - and no motive of plunder could have
prompted the deed, as his person: was not
rubbed of the most trifling possession, A
deep, dark mystery enshrouded the assassina
tion, which Is now being lifted to reveal a
new phase of social shame and crime fatally
mistaken in its aim. A clue has been obtain
ed which promises to develop the fact that
young Tanner was killed by mistake for anoth
er man-.--that ether man, the husband of a
wife for whom the assassin had conceived a
passion : and the murder was tea remove the
husband from between him and the object of
his guilty love! A negro man was the tool
selected to commit the murder. Ile mistook
the man, and poor Tanner fell instead of the
doomed husband. Such is life!
VO'-"Dred Scott" has already got into
,the
I pulpit, and for the future will be a great hob
' by, no doubt, for ninny of our clergymen 'tithe
love to mingle in politics to the detriment of
religion.--On Sunday, the Rev. Dr. Cheerer,
of the Church of the Puritans, in New York,
rinstead of preaching from the bible, took up
Judge Taner's decision, commented on it, de-
pounced its rea:soning„ ridiculed its conch'.
sions, (in hisown estimation, if nobody else's,)-
and entirely demolished the whole affair ; still
a great many people thought the Rev. gentle=
man should have confined himself to his legiti
mate calling. .

cents a -bushel and corn the same, got out of
fuel while the roads were so bad that he
could not haul coal, and in the emergency of
the Case tried burning corn in the ear in his
stove in place of coal, and found that it not
only succeeded but that it was actually vhe al ,..
er burn corn than coal, and that it not
only makes a hot fire but a dea.luir our than
