JuSrllSll. R. W. WEAVER EDITOO. Bloomslinrgt Thursday, Oct. 10, 18SO. The Flection. The [news from this Congressional dis trict loaves it uncertain whether Wright or (Fuller is elected, for wo have conflicting re ports from Luzerne. In Montour county, Fuller's majority will be 1250, in Columbia Wright's wll be 650. In Columbia and Montour Buekalews majority will be about 550, and that of M'Reynolds about 200. Staley, the Commissioner on the repeal tick et is elected by a large majority. As many of the Whigs in Columbia voted for Buck alew and M'Reynolds, they threw all thoir force to trude votes for Thomson tho volun teer Whig, and he is elected by a small ma jority. We cannot regard this as a personal defeat, but alone as the disaster of that parly which made the nomination. Treason like this to mens political faith in their party organiza tion is what will and must lead to the over throw of their political principles, if such men can be said to have any principles. This system of gneirilla warfare commen ced in this county two years ago when the .Whigs, with the help of pretended Demo crats, elected a volunteer candidate over the ragular nominee of the Democratic party for Register aud Recorder. Hero was a suffi cient encouragement in disorganization, to the Whigs for a second trial. So last year hey played their card adroitly and elected a Whig member of tho Legislature in Col umbia county. This year they are success ful in effecting still further disorganization; and as on the election night, when the re turns were coming in, over-heard a Whig, ■with the fumes of h ; s revelry giving strong er stench to his utterance, exclaim—"Well by G—d, at that rate we'll have tite next Sheriff in this county"—we felt that disor ganization had much more injnred tho Dem ocratic party than it could harm any ono candidate. We can now sco that state of things 'Bp. proaclting in this county which has disor ganized the Democracy of Luzernip, until a Democratic majority in that Democratic county is only a thing of acci'ueut. Demo • cratic candidates have there in tun been marked by Whigs, and. treacherously sacri ficed by false Deiuo.crats, until everything like political piinuiple is forgotten in the .heat of personal animosities. Wu had thought it might havo been for given Us by the people of this region, for whose, good, as well as our political faith, wo meant to have labored, that in 1847 wa were the only person in this place who went out tocanvass a single township against Val entine Ben's nomination. We know that many of those around us then differed with "Us iu opinions ; and wo know 160 that Best himself had not forgiven us a week ago, at Berwick when his cadaverous countenance lit up with a smite of malignant joy as he prophesied our defeat. Perhaps he was not only thinking of his own subtle tools and dupes in the county, but remembered the re ply which the prince of Cameronism made when 'old he had some opposers in Colum bia. "Yes," was the answer, "and some godd friends." We speak of this subject apart from per sonal considerations, and desire others so to think of it; for reflection on it cannot bene fit its, but we hope may prolit,the party for the future. Without affecting modestly, we treat th-* subject as if any other parson was concerned, and refer the reader to our simi lar remarks of last year upon tho defeat of Mr. Mcßeyiiolds For ourselves, though •uch an event may prompt to less disinter estedness iu our labors for men, it cannot dampen the ardor of out attachments for the political f.ilh we profess. Tho humble en ergies of our mind and hand are urged to activiiy rather by impending danger and the necessity of exer'ion, than by the triumph of success. Though only a craven would lick ih; hand that smote him, and notWiig living is ao spiritless and abject but it will turn when trodden on, yet he is only fit to ke called a Democrat whose ardor lags not when he toils in tho face of defeat and disas ter.

Luzerne county seems to share of Congress ional proper that Col umbia date be concMPto this county, I would suggest the name of Hon.

Though there remained but a few week;, for legislation after California was admitted as a Slate, Congress matured and pa', se d all her appropriation bills, established judicial districts, and divided the Slatr, i llto collection districts.

PALLADIUM OFFICE, N. Haven, Oct. 2, 12, M.—At 11 o'clock this foreuoou, Henry be amier Foote and James McCaffrey were ex ecuted iu tho jail yard Now Haven, the first for the murder of a young girl named Emily Cooper, and the second for tho murder of Mrs. Anne Smith, on the East Rock, near this city. Mrs. Smith's husband was also killed at the same time, and it is supposed by the same hand. Religious services were had in the prison ers' cells at an early hour. Boih prisoners expressed contrition, hut McCaffrey deniod hi s guilt to the last. They were brought out of their cells at ten minutes before 11 o'clock, attended by the clergy—McCaffrey by the Rev. Mr. O' Reilly, Catholic. He said nothing to the spectators, but continued to ejaculate "Oh, God!" ''Oh, Christ,'' etc. About 11, Sheriff Parmilee Meppod on the spring of the drop, and instantly both persons were suspended by the nock. McCaffrey died with hardly a s ruggle, but Foote suffered more, the noose of tho rope slipping around towards tho back of (lie neck. After a few minutes of hard struggles, however, all was over with liim. They are yet hanging upon | the scaffold. Row omoi.g the Whigs of N. York. We learn from the Now Yotk papers, that after the Syracuse Whig Slate Convention passed a resolution endorsing lire course pur sued by Senator Seward, during the present session of Congress, on the slavery question, the President of the Convention—the Hon. Francis Granger—made a speech in which he dissented from '.lie resolutions, and thon | resigned iiis scat, and seceded from the Con vention, followed by tho Secretaries and foi ty delegates.—They proceeded to a treigb boiiig Hotel and organized a meeting, at which Mr. Granger presided. A committee was appointed to draft an ad dress, and resolutions for the support of tho Whigs of the Stato, aud a resolution passed ordering the proceedings to bo published. The seceding members, wo learn, resolved to hold a Convention on the 17th of this month, in Syracuse, and recommended pri mary elections throughout the State. A Village Press. Perhaps no one establishment is of more advantage to a community thnn that of a newspaper press.

NESQUEIIOHIKG.— Nesquehoning, Carbon co., contains 91S inhabitants. ty There ate eleven newspapers now published in California, From the Pacific News, August 15. rremendoaa Gold Stories. Heretofore we have occasionally recor ded discoveries of lumps of gold. Once we said something about a mountain, which, although true to Iho letter, provoked only a little mirth at our expense. Truth, however, is mighty. Converts are coming over daily. The mountain is no longer a fable. Now we have another weighty fact to record. At Carson's new diggings, on last Friday, a chunk ol gold, almost wholly free from quartz, wfis taken out, weighing forty pounds ! This fact we have from Col. D. J. VVoodlief, collector of the foreign taxes for Cnlaneras county. Carsoi's diggings are about throe miles from Robison's ferry, On the Stanislaus on the north side. Who says the mines are failing? The same gentleman from whom we ob tained the information of the forty pound lump, relnted another instance of fortune of which the recipient does not complain. It occurred at Murphy's diggings, for a long time famed as tho richest in California. A person by the name of Ashe took out of ono hole last Friday or Saturday gold to the amount of $4,000. An Important Fact. In the year 1845, whet; the tariff of 1842 was n operation, the exports of this country front brQodstuffs and provisions, were sHlj -7-Tj,421. In 1819, when the tariff of 1846 was in operation, they were $38,795,664, or upwards of $22,000,000 more than in 1845. These exports are the products of agricu - ture in the middle and westeru States alone. —Tlicy tlo not include the gp.lon and tobac co of the south and other domestic articles, which amount to the additional sum of $83,- 871,291. This is a full and complete refuta tion of ali the Whig humbug about the bal ance of trade and the exportation of spe cie. The truth is, the balance of trade doc trine has been shown to be a fallacy by HUSKISSON, in England, and by WEBSTER in 1816, in America. Every step towards un fettering commerce in all its branches has proved decidedly beneficial, and we hope to see all these badges of federalism finally ob lilert-tsd. NEGRO POMP.— The Paris correspondent | of tlie New York Joirnal of Commerce, in a late letter, says: "Amid the displays of Pari* workman ship, no articles have attracted the curious and the saunlerers more than two diadems and several swords, in massive gold, wrought for tho sublimo Kmperor of Hayti, Faustin I. One of the crowns is surmount ed by eight eagles, and weighs four pounds ; the other, of two pounds, is formed of oak and laurel leaves. The execution of both is admirable; the cost, a hundred and fifty thousand francs. EXTRAVAGANCE — The Npw York Courier and Enquirer closes an editorial article in defence of the Gothamites' Litulmania, with this florid passage : "Honor, Donor, honor, then we say, to her who sings like the angels—whose purity is as stainless as the snow of her own na tive hills—whose charity droppeth as boun tifully, and yet as gently, as the dew of heaven—in genius a St. Cecilia, the idol of the rich, and in goodness a St. Theresa, the servant of the poor."' STILL ANOTHER FIRE occurred at Northum berland about eight o'clock on Thursday evening. It broke out in the stable of Capt. VYm. Forsyth. By tho time this was uearly reduced to ashes, an alarm was given in an other quartor. Capt. Lee's stabling, attach ed to his Hotel, was discovered to bo on fire. This, too, was burned to the ground. In the afternoon previous, fire was discovered ir. Mr. Burr's stable, but it was put out before any serious injury was done. It is very ev ident that this is the woik of incendiary. —Sunbury Gazelle. ANOTHER FIRE AT NORTHUMBERLAND.—A bout 8 o'clock, on Monday evening last, an other fire occurred in the borough of North umberland. It broke out in the stable at tached to the Hotel of Mr. Peter Hanselman, opposite the Town Hall, and in a short time it reached the Hotel and a large dwelling house in which several fancy stores were kept by Mrs. McCteland and Miss A. Young mati. These, together with a barn contain ing 80 bushels of grain, were entirely de stroyed. These buildings belonged to Mr. Hanselman, and were insured to the amount of 81900. It is supposed that this property was set on fire.— Sunbury Gazette. IMPORTANT BILLS. Tho Bounty Land Bill, for the aid of those officers and men who fought during the late war with Mexico, has passed both houses and is now, doubtless, a law of the land. The Naval Approprialion bill, in which, a mong other great reforms, whipping in the Navy, has been abolished. Convention. CINCINNATI, Oct. 1, 1850.— The House of Bishops aro now in secret sessiou, and it is understood that they have the case of Bish op Onderdonk under discussion. The convention will assemble to-morrow. There are a large number of delegate* in at tendants. CV A man in Kentucky recently commit ted suicide. Previous to the act he enclosed his subscription money for the MaysviUe Flog in a letter and sent it to the editor, sta ting therein that ho was "fearful of shuffling off this mortal coil" without paying the prin ter. Poor fellow, his path must have been much lighter, and hiscouscious much easi er, after this noble act. 17* 140,000 Moimons have emigrated from England to the United States, most of them men of some substance, from Wales and the Northern ami Eastern parts of Eng land. • COLUMBIA COUNTY SftBOTIOUr SJETTOWS H2giD 09T0SXB.

He gave a sly dig at the music made a few nights ago.
