conclusion, that the plan of infamy was re
solved on before the eiection,,and that it
was t an organized fraud to deprive the
whige of their best district, and by leav
ing only the strong holds of loco focoism,
secure the election of Mr. Ingersoll.—
Where are the tally-books? they are nut
trifles to be insecurely laid aside, or
thoughtlessly left exposed—they were in
1 the hands of loco partizan judges, and if by
any chance the majorities could be rever
sed in favor of their key pet, it would be
surprising how quick their perception
would become, tind how soon the lost would
be found! We must ucr.v await with pa•
Bence the result; the whole Whig body is
justly indignant, but heaven grant that
they may Mingle discretion, anti not wrest
the law from its high dignity. During
the recent Strife all difficulties have origt
noted with the Locos; where our party
had an ascendancy, fair play was allowed,
and we have been rup4id by treachery and
fraud. But the day of retribution roust

THE OLD CONS ri.ru rioN.
Our good old Constitution, has at least
we trust, been left to us in the recent st rug-
As lar as returns have reached us,
there is a visible •attaelitrent to out old
"magi's chola," wnich is ple.ismg in the
extreme. It seems as if almos4 every.coun

vote, their repugnance to -this ofFpring of

not wi s h to see them removed ; we di-like
alt - tionyering with things as sacred a- this.
and it is with pride we revert to the Hipp
rent overwheitnirig vote in its favor. It
shows that though the democracy of our
St Ate have been blinded to their otiereit
m :the rejection of Joseph R toter, there
•-is some •portiim of the angel virtue !stir.
some feehng of attachment-to those la aa

and which heaven speedidg, will light our
iibite to renewed glory and happiness.
Congress.—We infer from such official
information as has reached us, that out
Congressiot al representation will stand as
before. No change in the relative num
bers has taken place, although there have
been mutations in different distri its.
Philadelphia County —W e learn from
thil City papers that the Whig Judges of
the County election made out the correct
-.;turns of the election, and gave them to
the Shertfron Friday as prescribed by
law, and -he in fulfilment of his duties, foe
warded them to the Capital. On Satur
day the loco Judges carried in another set
of returns, when they were informed that
they could not be forwarded, as the legal
proceedings had been perfbrmed already.
Thus have the nefarious desi4n, of these
turbulent men recoiled against themselves;
and thus again the kw stands triumphant,

A gain of right Whig Members of Centres..

The question is now settled as In the Georgia
Elections. The Auga•ta Constitittionali4 (a
Calhoun Van Buren Sub.Treasory paper) or %ton
day la.t, has the following gratify
"We have received Nutriment return. to antici
pate the final result of the election for member.
of congress and of ihe State Legislature. The
State Right. (Whig) Ticket for emigres is elect
ed; and theta is not doubt that the same party
will have a majority in both branches of the
General Am.embly, small. but enough to take the
lead in all elections by joint ballot."
A political revolution appears to have taken
place in snme parts of the State. Counties where
the Van Huron party hitherto has had complete
ascendency have sleeted Whig candidates.
THE LOVE OP ItE %DINO IN CHILDREN.
We recommend to all parents who have at

into them their earliest years. ,a love of reading.

.reflection, would suppose. Toe effects even in

careless observer. The reading child is siipei icor

and he dues not contract so many bad habits.
lie lakes, at school, a stand higher than his fel-
oar; and when grown to manhood outstrips
hem in most of the rivalries of life. Every
rither, eskeially every father in the country,
should provide himself with a library of enter
taining books, taking care to add to it according
to his means, such new productions as are really
of value. A few dollars laid out, and as dear
,as
books are supposed to be, a very small sum will
produce an excellent little family library, will
bring hi,ei a better interest, if he can look for it
in the advancement of his offspring, than if in
vested in the most gainful of stocks. From the
nature of farmers' occupation, and their distance
from town•, the education of their children must
be defective, and to them will prime more valua

the children nf any other class.
At any rate let the house ef every farmer be
well wmpfied with newspapers, which inform
thi Minify of every important occurrence which
takes place in the world. The sons turf daugh

amusement and instruction they will draw from

OEN. WASHINGTONN ADMINISTRA-
"A generation has passed away since: Wash
ington closed his political life,—ind when we
now review all the acts of his administration, the
measures which he adopted, the principles which
he avowed, arid the resolutions upon which he
acted, to make the patronage and offices sub.ervi
ent to the interests of the whole country, and not
to sit render.iliem to the base and grovelling and
corrupting influence of party; when we review
these things, we cannot but confess ourselves
struck with a reverential awe of his transcendent
purity and greataesa.
There was a pure atmosphere, then, in the
regions of the halts and official residences of the
govirnment. Men - breathed freely then, end
thought and acted as freemen, who held their
liberties in their own hands, and not at the mer
cy of rulers: and the first. attempt to trample upon
them, would have taught the usurpers the lesson
—"who would be free, themselves must strike
the blow." Let the young men of the present
day read the history of the adminishatnm of,
Washington, so forcible and so truly written out
in the pages of Marshall.—lt will purity them
from a thousand vague generalities. It will recall
them to the great princip!es on which the goy
erdinent was originally fritined. It will teach
them the utter worthlessness'of all mere, political'
theories, and the invaluable authority of experi
ence. It will teach them that no republic, can
be well or wisely governed, except by men of
high intellect, and comprehensive
. knowhpige,
incorruptible integrity, arid disinterested patriot -
ism. It will teach them that the di.magngtie is
the -worst .enciny of the people,' as his kindred
character, the courtier, in the worst enemy of
monarchy. It will teach them that the ttuest
courwi of ambition is to found its favor awl its
honors nut upon the huzzas of the multitude; but
upon'the solemn judgments of the wise and good,
upon that distant praise whose voice speaksfrom
the hearts of millions, and gives back front the
tomb the deep echoes of its own thankfulness."
