In nnothor column wo publish the official
Returns of iho Presidential election of tins
state, by which it will be seen that the Har
rison elcclorial ticket has succcded by 343
majority. Wo have been whipped not on
ly in this slate, but throughout tho Union.
It has been a hard fought contest the de
mocracy of the whole Union has nobly done
her duty and although beaten, she is not
dismayed er disheartened, feeling well as
Buied that correct principles will eventually
prevail. Federalism may triumph for a
while, but tho sober seqgnd thought of tho
1- II . 1t .1 .!.? l 1-.-
people win pui an nnnga 10 riguts. uc
niociacy is beaten, it is true, but she is still
as united and firm as tho everlasting hills.
It may be all for the best. It is an old true
ism, that " whatever is, is right" and why
may not this defeat woik for our good, and
that of our country. What if federalism
does triumph for a while, and democracy
tako a short excursion up Salt River, to ex
plore the regions where Federalism has re
sided for the last twelve years, why, " all's
well, that ends well." Democrats had be
come too confident from long continued suc
cess; In our own state, wo were too sure
of victory, & allowed ourselves to bo defeated
by only about threo hundred majority, when
we ought to haVe given some thousands.
I'oo many "pipe layers" have been per
mitted to traverse the state, while we wore
laying in security, from over confidence in
former successes. A short residence at the
head of Salt lliver, will teach us the truth
of the lesson, " that the price of liberty, is
eternal vigilance," and the flood tide will
V?aft as on to a sure and glorious victory,
at the expiration of another four years,
and when gained, we shall know better how
to prize the benefits resulting from a demo
cratic administration, and be more vigilant
in protecting it hereafter from the assaults
of its enemies. Therefore wo say that "what
ever is, is right," and, " all's well that end
Well."
Jl host of relations in a small compass.
-There is now living in this neighborhood
Harrison is undoubtedly elected Presi
dent for the host four years, and what is to
be the course of policy pursued by his ad
ministration is clothed in mystery, as he
himself, has been properly denominated
General Mum, from the fact of. his having
refused to disclose his principles or the pol
icy ho intended to pursue if elected. We
can only gather what it will be from the
character and principles of his supporters,
and their assertions on highways and bye
ways for electioneering purposes in this sec
tion. The repeal of thc"lndependent Treas
ury act" and establishing of a National
Bank, havo been their constant theme.
Wo have often averred that thoy could not
effect either measure, even if the old Gen
eral was elected. We havo been strength
ened in this belief, by reading the following
remarks, copied from tho Philadelphia Ledg
er, an independent papor, written since tho
election.
But however high the hopes inspired by
the election of General Harrison, we will
venture to pronounce them delusive, and to
predict very serious disappointments to
those who entertain them. If we 3hould be
charged with presenting partisan views .of
tho case, our reply is, that the contest being
ended, we can have no interest in present
ing any views beyond that which evory ci
tizen ought to leol in the prosperity ot his
country; and that we shall be judged can
didly by all who aro not prevented, by rab
id partisan prejudices or direct pecuniary
interests, from understanding plain truth.
First, then, we say that a National Dank
ctnnot be established; secondly, that the
"Independent Treasury Act" cannot be re
pealed; thirdly, that the momentarj expan
sion and speculation whiob tho hopes of
such measures will produce, immediately
alter General Harrison's election, will be
followed by co)iracion and revulsion, o
the ruin of rash, inconsiderate, ignorant
merchants, and the total prostration of spec
ulators. Wo offer these as conjectures,
founded upon present appearances. If they
are verified, wo shall have spoken prophecy
if not, wo shall have been mistaken, like
millions before us.
First, then, a National Bank cannot be
created. The Southern Slates have gener
ally opposed such an institution upon consti
tutional ground, and have aided in destroy
ing tivo. Besides this objection, they nrgo
that national banks, by concentrating capital
and business at the North, promote its
prosperity at the expense of tho South.
This was Mr. Calhoun's objection in 1828,
and in his mind and those of his Southern
partisans, has probably lost none of its
force. New York has combined with the
South to destroy two National Banks, be
cause they were located in Pennsylvania,
moderate prudent, legitimate business. If,
then, General Harrison be elected, we ad
vise no man to buy stocks, or any thing
else, in the exnectatirtn of rising prices.
The rise, in auv probable event, cannot bo .
great and must bo temporary.

of such institution, reasoning irom me

after such exertions to ' destroy National
Banks, because they were created in other
States New York will support another
without the monopoly. This would be
throwing away the exertions of the past.
Through this combination of the South with
New York, Pennsylvania has lost two Na-
tisnal Banks; and when Pennsylvania con
siders the'motives of Now i ork to their de
struction, we cannot believe that they will
support another, to be located in the latter.
The contest aooui nauonai oaiiKs uiw.iya
has been, and always willbo, a contest be-

opposition.

Attemi'X to Assassinatk Louis rnttip-
m. All attempt was mane on ine ium uu.
to assassinate Louis Plnllippe, the follow
ing details of which appear in tho Journal
des Debats :
"Last evening, at 55 minutes past 5
o'clock, when the King was returning to
St. Cloud, accompanied by tho Queen and
Madame Adelaide, and was passing along
the quay of the Tuilleries, an individual
fired a carbine in the direction of tho car
riage. Their Majesties, who lortunaieiy
were not miureti, contmueu their journey.
The assassin had evidently chosen this po
sition with the intention of taking ad vantage
(like Alibaud) of tho instant that the King
would salute the troops under arms. The
King, in fact, always Salutes tile guard,
whether troops ot the line or INaltonal
Guard, and in so doing lets down the glass
of the carriago and advances forward. One
of the Grenadiers on guard immediately
seized the assassin; who said, "I am not
going away." Ho was then taken to the
guard house. He confessed his crime, and
Icclared that Ins name was Manus Darmes.
Ho said that he was a native of Marseilles,
and had been for a long time in Paris, and
was employed as a notteur (in polishing
tho floors of apartments.) He was clad in
a long frock coal, under which he conceal
ed his carbine, tho slock of which was ex
pensively carved. He is 43 vears of
ago.
He was searched, and on his person were
found two loaded pistols and a poinard.
The carbine, which had been cut short and
inaded up to the mnzzle, had burst. The
charge uiu not scatter, anu the carriage was
but slightly struck. The assassin, hdwbver
was severely wounded in the left hand,
His carbine was loaded with several balls
and slugs. The explosion was extremely
loud. One of the National Guard, of the
escortwas slightly wounded jn the hand by
a slug. One of tho footmen, who was stand
ing boh i nd the carriage, wa3 wounded in the
leg. The wound is not dangerours,but the
ball has not yet been extracted)
Darmes, when arrested, burst into a vio
lent passion, and exclaimed "Gursed Car
bine ! I had taken a good aim, but I over
loaded it"
The prisoner,Marius Darmes, appears to
bo a fanatic of the stamp of Louvel and
Alibaud so says a private letter. The
interrogatories he has undergone has not
elicited from him any admission lending to
prove that he had any accomplices, or that
lie was a hired assassiiii Although suffer
ing from his wounds, lie has throughout
evinced extraordinary enerirv. anil in this
moment tho only regret he has manifested
is, that of not having effected his criminal
purpose. At one questionv put to him by
his instructing judge, tears were seen to
flow into his oyes, "Do not imagine," said
Darmes "that those aro tears of repentance;
If I weep it is from despair at having miss
ed my aim." He was heard to exclaim, on
an other occasion. "Had 1 killed the ty
rant, Soliman Pasha would now be free
the French fleet, united with that of Me
hemet Ali, would have sunk that of the in
cendiaries of Beyront, and Egypt would be
Irceu.
REVERSES OF FORTUNE.

incidents:

THE STEAM FRIGATE.
Some interesting particulars are given in
tho United Slates Gazetto, in relation to the
steam frigate now being built at our Navy
yard. The workmen are at present engag
ed in planking the upper deck, and the
wholo vessel is in such a state of forward
ness that, were the engines ready, she
could bo lanched in two months. She
will be rigged in the same manner as a ship,
and will require as her complement two
hundred men. Her ordnance will consist of
forty-two pounders and two bombs to throw
ten inch shells, and, vhen in full sailing or
der, her burthen will b 1,700 tons. Her
weight is estimated at 500 tons. She is
nearly as long as tho steam ship President
and one fool wider. In her hold is con
structed a repository capable of containing
800 tons of anthracite coal, by which the
engines are to be worked. Her length
from the countor to the iiighljieatls, is 228
feet 8 inches; extreme length to figure head,
224 feet; extreme breadth, 40 leei; uepth

Bad for Button Makers, A tailor, at
Urussels, has taken out a patent of mven
lion for ten yoars, for a new make of pan
taloons, by which buttons, and of course
buttons-holes, are entirely dispenced with
These pantaloons without buttons, it is said
are as easily adjusted, and kept up, as those

Infanticide. On Fridav afternoon the
attention of the Coroner was called by Dr.
P. G. Godden, to the fact that n female
named Ann Dowel, in the service of J.
Hodgson, Market street, above Tenth, had
secreted the birth of her new born child.
A post mortem examination of the body
being made, a large piece of calico was
found crammed down its throat, producing
considerable laceration of the party. The
reputed father of tho child is a man named
Samuel Moore, a shoemaker. It appeared
mai no was in company with the girl at a
lata hour of the night on Which the birth
and death of the child took place. At the
instigation of the Coroner both the parties
were taicen into the custody and brought be
lore the Mayor, who committed them to

the engine will be recovered. She sunk in

A THRILLING INCIDENT.
The Journal of Commorce gives the fol
lowing incidents as conceded with tho late
attack of the Savages upon Indian Koy,
which will bo remembered was made in tho
night. When they came around tho house
of Dr. Perrin, he addressed them from the
cupula of his house in Spanish, telling them
that as hewas a physician they could have
no motive for injurieg him or his family,
upon which they went away. They re
turned again, however, at two o'clock at
night, and with a hideous war whoop rush
ed upon the house, burst in the doors and
ascended to the cupola. In this extremity
Dr. Perrin fastened down the scuttle doors,
which delayed the Indians a little, but thoy
soon forced it, and with a yell fell upon
their victim. Mrs. Perrin, with two daugh
ters and a son fouitean years old.flcd to tho
back part of the kousc, which stood off tho
beach, and let themsolves down through a
loose floor into tho water, which was four

recovered so fat from a fever as to bo able
to sit up. There they stood until ono o'
clock of the coming day. During this timo
the Indians plundered tlm houso and once
came and lifted up a loose board over their
heads and looked down. But this was du
ring the night and the party was not soon.
The noise made by a parcel of turtles which
were confined near by, perhaps saved them
After the Indians had plundered the house
they set it on fire, and when it was neany

TnsupSfWotrsTilfral'tlid' lad said he
would rather bo killed by the Indians than
burn to death there. In this extremity he
was allowed ta pass out, as he met with no
molestation, the ladies soon followed.
They directly saw the boy at some dis
tance from the shore, making for a boat and
beckoning them to come on. They did so
as fast as possible, and soon found them
selvos in a large scow, which tho Indians
had brought as near the shore as they could
and had already pattly loaded witli plunder.
There were setting poles on board, and tho
party plied their seamanship with all their
might, and were hardly beyond the reach
of rifle shot, when they saw two Indians
come out from a store houso on the beach
loaded with plunder, apparently for this
very uoat. rroviuence assisstcd them, and
after a day of toil in which they wero bur

that they wero safe and amontr kind

Leaving it to the Lord. The following
singular, but well authenticated story was
-1 i . i ... - , .
cupieu oy u;o eouor ot me tiartlord Obser

Judge Griswold, of Lyme, Conn.
'iLyme was first bounded east on the
Niantic Indian land, and New London on
Niantic bay four miles' ir width lay be

petition was made to the Legislature to have
it divided equally to each town, stating it
to bo but two miles. Tho petition was
gianled. Tho parties met to make the di
vision, but could not agree each claimed
that the other should have one mile and it-
sell the remaining three miles. After 6ome
heat, they agread to leave it to the Lord;
anu to put an end to the controversy, that
each town thould choose two champions,
who should meet on the conteBled lands and
box it out, and the party to which the Lord
