The Result
The election returns are too incomplete to
enable us to state with"any degree of certainty,
the majorities of the Democratic candidates for
Judge of the Supremo Court, and Canal Com
missioner, but sufficient is known to warrant
us in saying they are elected by majorities not
greatly differing from that of Gov. Bigler.
This unpleasant result is mainly to he attri•
bated to the smallness of the:vine. In this
county the Whig vote is lull eight hundred short
of its actual strength, whereas the Democratic
vote is polled within a hundred or two, and
a small turnout is as certain to prove a Dem•
ocratic victory, as a large:one is a Whig tri
umph. Another cause -was the anion of the
main body of Native Americans with the Dem
ocratic party, while the support of the natural•
ized citizens was in a great measure retained.
Another was the belief prevailing in many
• quarters, that it was utterly impossible to car
ry our State:ticket, and that the going to the
. polls and hack was labor, in vain. Last but
not least of those we shall now enumerate is
the "power of public plunder" in the hands of
the Canal Commissioners, who have not failed
to use it to its utmost limits, knowing that a
triumph:of the Whigs would lead to such an
exposure of the plunderings of that board as
would forever:lay them cold ; the struggle with
them was one of life and death, and they have
succeeded in gaining a year's respite.
But unfortunate as the result undoubtedly is,
we say to our friends:THE STATE IS STILL
CERTAIN FOR SCOTT, if the Whigs hut do
•their duty. It will be impossible ler the Dem
ocrats in Philadelphia to retain both the Native
Americans aunt the adopted citizens in their
hands. To this may be added thousands up
on thousands who have ever voted the Demo
cratic ticket, but now declare their determina
tion to vote for Scott. There is scarcely a
township in this county from which we have
not heard from reliable sources, thatffMre will
be from three to five, and in somisinstances as
many as ten, who will vote fb s itfie Whig can
didates, who voted the • PeifirOcratic State ticket
at this eleetior.•.;„;
Let it betrernembored that at the State elec.
the Democratic Canal Commis.
siener got twenty thousand majority, and
in a few weeks after, the Whig candidate for
President—Gen. %V H. Harrison carried the
State; and again in 1848, the Whig Canal Corn:
missioner was lost by over 4000 majority, and
Gen. Taylor carried the State a few weeks al
ter, by over 13,000 majority.
We repeat, Pen. Scott, with one half the ex
ertlone made by our opponents, will be Hum-
phantly elected. There can be no doubt of this.
Friends ofd shall the effort be made ?
Our organiiation is fur from what it ought to
be. Shall it now be perfected? If 'sri, then
go to work. There is ample timeyet to do all
that is necessary, but we have not a day to
spare. We are stronger now in the Siam than
we were on the day following the 04:Aube! elec
tion in 1848. We have the strength to carry it
by 10,000; bin we cannot expect to do it un
less our forces are more efficiently organized.
Had there been a more thorough and efficient
organization, a more perfect concentration of
our friends in support of the Whig State ticket
at the last election, the result would have been
very different. Remember this, ye friends of
,Scolt, and now strike for victory.
'Onctimore, then, put your shoulders to the
• ....
wheel, and push on the column, until the citadel
of the enemy is stormed, and the old hero, who
never liist a battle, is safe within the walls of
the Republic.
Southern Rights Party.
It is reported that Gov. Troupe has accepted
the nomination of the Southern Rights party,
for the Presidency. That party as is well
known, in.composed principally of Democrats.
We learn that the Southern Rights party of
GeorgiaThave'ratified the nominations of Ex-
Governor Troupe and Quitman, and have ap
pointed presidential electors. We have no
doubt,.but that the Same party in South Caro-
Jiart, Alabama and Mississippi, willTorm elec.
torial tickets in each of pose Stales.

Tho mourns frcm this State are us yet very
ineorrect,anfficient however is known to say,
that the Democratic State ticket is elected by
abou t 8000 majority. The Whigs gain one
member of Congreerii,the delegation stands
10 Whigs to 15 Demoirats. In the Senate the
Whigs gain two membersoue in IClontgomc
ry, and one in Schuylkill, rind loose ono in
Bucks. The Senate stands 18 . Whigs to 15
Democrats. The House is composed of 41
Whigs to 59 Democrats. Democratic majority
on joint ballot 15.
Alabama.—The returns from this State, indi
cate a small Locoloco majority. It is quite
probable that Alabama which is considered a
sure State for Pierce will yet: wheel Into line
for Gen. Scott.
indiana —The returns indicate a large Loco..
majority. Gov. Wright being a very popular
man, goes fck Banks and Corporations by
wholesale, which accounts for his heavy ma
jority, reaching probably 10,000.
Florida.—The accounts from "Little. Florida,"
b.dicate that the Whigs have swept everything
before them. It was at first believed that the
Stale had wheeled into the Locofoco ranks,
but later accounts say that the State has gone
Whig. No fear for Florida in November.
Ohio.—This State has done nobly, and the
returns anger well for Gen. Scott. Last year
Ohio gave 26.000 Democratic majority. This
tremendous majority has been brought down
to a mere cypher, probably not over 4000.
Who will say that the grind old "Buckeye
State" will not cast her 23 electotial votes for
"Old Chip."
Delaware. The election for Inspectors and
Assessors was held in "tittle Delaware" on
Tuesday the sth inat: A despatch from Wil
ming.ton says!
'The whole State has been hoard from as
regards theiriSpectors election, and the IVhigs
have ortitied'every county in the Slate. The
restilt.is a decided one. No such event has
happened since 1840. The Locofocos who
professed confideMee, have experienced an
overwhelming defeat. .
The Ledger sayS that in New Castle county,.
(nearly always Lncoloeo) the Whig. majority
is 6 ; in Kent 179, arid in Sussex 132—show
ing a Whig gain over last year of over 200
voles!
Circus Coming.—On Wednesday next, as
will be observed by ,an advertisement in an
other column, Rircrs & Derious, will visit our
borough, with their excellent Circus. This es
tablishment is highly spoken nit, from the fact
that the "Rivers family" are pronounced as
ranking among the best Equestrians perform
ing in this country.

held at the public
house of Mr. Henry Lc Allentown,' on Sat

Wenner, formerly of this borough, is at present
engaged in a Wholesale Grocery and Commis
sion house, No. 82 and 84 Dey street, New
• York. The Colonel is a confounded clever

How - will Ohio Go ?
The Whig papers of that State speak with the
greatest confidence that a full vole will ensure
the Stale in the coming election. The Cincin
natti Gazette, however, has the very best advir.-e—
-on:this subject which is equally applicable in
this latitude.
„ We are often carried way by anxiety in re
lation to distant objects, and forget practical, im•
perative, home duties, which it is criminal to
neglect. In nothing it is more obvious than In
politics. We hear men constantly inquiring,
"How willthe Reserve go 1 How 'will Penn..
sytvania:go 1 How will New York go 1” We
always feel like replying, "Let the Reserve,
Pennsylvania and New York take care of them.

Air. Carey, has a letter to Farmers upon the
subject of the Tariff, in the Plough, Loom and
Anvil. The Tribune remarks:
"In regard to this question, there are in real
ity only two parties, that of the English man
ufacturers and traders, and that of American
Independence and of American power. In
such a controversy there ought to be no deubt
on which side the farmers of the Republic

triotism ought, unless we are mistriken, to. en
list them on the American side. There can be
no true union between thorn and the British

Washington Wheat
Wrn. W. Parker, of Patkersville, Chester
county, writes to the editor of the Genessee
Farmer, and says, I herewith enclose a
sample of wheat, known as the Washington
Wheat, which agrees with the description of
the Australian wheat given in the Genesee Far
mer. It has been very much admired by far
mers in this neighborhood. We raised on one
acre, accurately measured, and with nothing
more than the ordinary barn-yard manure, for:
ty-ono and a half bushels of clean wham, weigh
ing sixty-two pounds to the bushel. Its flour
making properties were very much question.

Wings of New York who paltered Daniel %Vet),

selves as to gratify their feelings at the expense
of the certain defeat of political principles that

Whig enemies of the Baltimore Platform more

NON•ENUMERATED ARTICLES
Although we do not believe that there is any
lack of industry or skill among the armers and
mechanics, - or their wives and daughters of this
county ; yet we must say, that the articles pre
seated for inspection was very small. But as
this is the first exhibition of the kind in Lehigh,
and owing to diffidence or an apprehension than
it will be excelled, there seemed to be much uni
Willingness to exhibit specimens of the products•
of our farmers, or of the work of our mechanics
—this feeli ng we hope hereafter to see done
away.

the Boston Shipping List, with regard to the boot
and Shoe trade of Massachusetts, the latter re
plied as follvws:
In every town and city in Massachusetts, the
inanufacture'of boots and shoes is carried on to
a considerable extent. The statistics of our pop
ulation show that o ne -twelfth of them are enga-
Red co title miiiness. It is emphatically the lead
ing branch of our industry, the value of our goods
manufactured exceeding by several millions the
value of the cotton goods !minor:mimed or the
product of otrr whale ft •heties. We u ill nor,
like the North American, count our workmen
by hundreds, but by thousands, theakiniber now
employed in the business being upinrds of 73,.
000 males and females, and the yearly value of
the goods about $75,000.000. It most also be
considered that our manufacturers do net limit
their operations to this State. They find em•
ployment for thousands of workmen in Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. We are aware
of one manufacturer who nlone employs about
300 persons in the state of Maine. The stork
is cut up and forwarded to Ike workmen i n t h e „ t •
States, and comes bark to us in the shape of
bouts, shoes and brogans.

OM
The Sterm'on Tic/.-al.—We are informed by
telegraph that the Tioope and Quitman ticket
gains ground amongst the Democracy of Ala
bama. The Montgomery Time,,lhtlla% Gazette,
and Ha yneyville Chronicle—all Alabama Dory
.ocratic paper:, have pronounced in laver of the
nomination, and the imPression in the Slate is,
that mane others will follow."
Pierce was nominated in the Baltimore Con
vention by Southern Secessionists, and adopted
by the party as a means of conciliating these
Southern ultras. All went merrily for a time;
but the South has discovered that Pierce had for
several years been •carrying water on both•
shoulders ; that he is not as they supposed he
; and they have in consequence nominated ,
another ticket and as will be seen above, sever
al of their leading papers have come out in fa,.
vor of it ! Thus, the treachery of the Locofocrr
party is likely to re-act against them, take from,
them some of those Southern States which were
formerly most reliable, anti thus place beyond
doubt or cavil the election of WINFIEI.D•
SCOTT In the Presidency of this Republic!—
This result will teach locofocos it is best to be
honest, and we hope will reform their character
as politicians..
Coinage in September
The operations of the. Philadelphia Mint, last
month, were pretsy large. The depristies of gold
reached $4,204,000, which is about $200,01:00
more than last year. The coinage of gold fo•r
the month, was $4,815,103, more than three s .
fourths of the amount in double eagles. The.
number of half and quarter eagles, and gold dol..
tars coined, is comparatively small, though the.
stock on hand exceeds the deinand. Silver but•.
lion deposited, $20,000. The silver coinage•
amounts to $17,000 in quarter dollars, dimes and •
half dimes. Of three Gent pieces, 1,566,900 were.
coined—equal to $47,007. We are glad to learn
that there is an active demand for this very con..
venient little coin, and hope to see it drive the.
filthy copper cent out of use. The total number •
of pieces coined during the month was 2,318,.,
477, amounting to $4,879,700 50. The gold de.
posits for the nine months of the current year,,.
exceed the deposits for the corresponding time
last year, $4,237,659. The coin coming into thef•
country, greatly exceeds the amount exported.
