K. W. WEAVER, EDITOR, nioomsbtirg, Thursday, Oct. 23, INSI. THE RESULT. * Since the election the hot blood has flow ed back from men's heads, and they talk a gsin with reason and candor. Governor 'Johnston flayed a bold and reckless game, -and did all that could bo done for his case. But bis election three years ago was secured by means which cannot be -used twice in succession. The promise of'better times .under a change of adminisiration deluded .•people once, for it is easy to operate upon the restlessness-awl dissatisfaction of man. 'Jiir.d ; and pdliticians like Johnston well un derstand 'that trick. But Pennsylvania is •Democratic, and there is much truth in the remark which a candid Whig made a few •lays afltr the election.—"lt is not often that we can elect a crndidato and then we must hurm him in." But it was a mistake in Governor John ston to go bofore the people and make light of a solicitude lor the peace of the commu nity and the perpetuity of the republic. It as our highest satisfaction to see that the peo ple of the Keystone state will not suffer a looting ot patriotism to be ridiculed, oven "by a Governor when he decends down to play comedy from the hustings. It is no talse alarm to say that there is dinger and mischief when the old political parlies of the country are in some states annihilated, and a strong new party rears its head and •openly proclaims disunion and secession. Within less than a month elections in seve ral stales of the Union have turned upon the question whcthei there shall any longer be a tßepub'ic of the United States; and even in Pennsylvania while Johnston was ridiculing "all the little Union savers" a deliberative convention ot steady sober citizens by reso lution declared anew the old treasonable doctrine that the constitution of the Ameri can Union was a league with the powers of darkness in the nether world. At such a lime, a%d when a mischievous question and dangerous men are heating up implacable feuds to sever famalies and churches, it is no idle cant to cry out with a warning voice. An! then too it is ever belter to be warned of danger too soon than too late. The pneseait victory in Pennsylvania has many happy results, and not the least of these is the security it gives that we shall next year elect a Democratic President of the Union and thus give a double guarantee of the safely and perpetuity of our repub lican institutions. THE ELECTION. The official returns of Philadelphia city and county show that for Senator Washing ton J. Jackson the Democratic candidate is defeated by Hamilton a half-breed Whig and Native. Five of the Democratic members Aire defoated by a similar combination ot fag ends and factions. Six of our nominees are, however elected. Forjudges of the District Court Strou 1 and Sharswood who were nominated by both parbes are of course elected. J. Clark Hare. Whig, is elected over Findlay, Dem ocrat, for the other Associate. Of the Com mon Tleas, Oswald Thompson, Whig, is e" iacled President, and Win. D. Kelly, Inde pendent Democrat, and Joseph Allison, Na tive, Associates. The Whigs at first J nomi nated Thompson and Thayer both Whigs, and Kelly Democrat, but the Natives would not be satisfied, and so the Whig convention was again called together and it choked of Thayer and nominated Allison, a Native A. merican. By this despicable manouvre the ' Democratic nominees were defeated. Of the Row officers the Democrats elect only the Coroner. In the City the Dutoh have taken Holland as usual. MILITARY. On last Saturday afternoon the Volunteer Companies of the Columbia county Brigade met at Light Street for their fall parade, and to elect several officers of the Brigade. The 1 whole affair passed off decently and orderly, to '.he credit of the citizen sohliers ard their ' officers. The following brigade officers were elec- 1 ted without opposition. J Brigade Inspector. —Hiram R. Kline. Lieutenant Colonel. M'Dowell. 1 Major. —Joseph P.

He hopes he will sufficiently recover from the effects of the disastrous results of yester day's election, to be able to return to bis duties in about two weeks. Our democratic friends will do us the favor not to say Ilec tion to us during to-day, and we promise tbem they will not again have the opportu nity to do so, until they will have got pretty well through with their rejoicings.

Mr. Ewing, of Bodorgan. in North Wales, j is contemplating >he adoption of glass walls ' to preserve crops ol wall fruit from untimely 1 blight. By a decree of the 9th, the King of Bar- j dinia has ordered a levy of 10,000 recruits for the army. The slakes regularly given each year on all the race courses "of Franco are 4GB in number, and amount to 725,000f. The yacht America is to be taken by her new owner to the Mediterranean, where he will doubtless try her speed with some of the crusiers. A Welsh paper states that 150,000 watch es have been pawned and sold in Wales, for ! the purpose of finding funds to pay the ex- j penses of a journey to and from London to j seo the Great Exhibition. In some cases j even beds have been disposed of. Mr. McCorrnick has made arrangements j for the manufacture of from five hundred "to one thousand of his reapers in London, in time for the harvest of next year. He has also taken out patents for his reaper in Scot -1 land, France, Belgium, Austria and Prussia, j ami will probably introduce his machine in- I to each one of those counties during the next yegr. Rank of Frncc. The largest pile of Specie in the World.—Ac cording to a recent return of the Bank of! France, the specie on hand amounted to ! 607 millions of dollars. This we believe is ; the largest amount of specie ever collected together. The Bank of England has not had J at any time, over 100 millions. In France, the legal currency is silver— ' hence it is probable that nearly all this spe cie is silver—aud hence the recent diminu- f tion of silver in this country. The enormous accumulation of silver in j the Bank of France is regarded as an unfa- j vorable symptom of her trade—for the dis counts and circulation of the bank have di mished. Hence trade is staguant. It is | probable that the (ear of political convul sion at the next Presidential election oper ates powerfully on the bank ar.d on mer chants to restrain them from an expansion of ' credit. Curious Case. A verdict of SIO,OOO ww lately given to a young lady in Henry county, Ky., in an ac- j tion of slander against her faithless lover. ! The Louisuilte Courier, on the Bth, says, j that so soon as the verdict was rendered, the j fair Kentucky plaintiff, scorning to receive | the money of the defendant—her only ob- I ject being the vindication of her name from his calnmniojs aspersions—directed her counsel to enter a remittitur for the amount of the verdict, save that would be sufficient to compensate them for their services. Up on consultation thoy consented to be satis" fied with five hundred dollars, and in accor- ! dance with the instructions of their client, : released the defendant from the payment of 1 the nine thousand five hundred dollars. General Scott Was nominated by the Whigs of Pennsyl- I vania and Ohio for the Presidency when they went into the political campaign just now closed. But in both these states they are defeated under their new leader. Scott may well pray to be defended from his new fiiends for this is such a kick "in the rear" as he does not often get from his enemies. ty We publish on our first page to-day the official returns of the Columbia county election, by which it will be seen that the whole Democratic ticket is elected, except Judge Baldy. His defeat is all wrong, but •his system of cutting the ticket is becoming more general, and, from a few disorganizes in two or three townships,lt has spread over all the county, and meets every year with new encouragement. People have seen a few tricksters play the game with success, and so each year it becomes easier to repeat the operation. ty The amount of Conl sent from the Shamokin Mines by Pottsville and Sunbury railroad, to Sunbury, lbs present setson, up to Thursday last, Is 17,662 tons.

GALLOWS CONVERSION. —The Knickerbocker, \ in speaking of some important satire, says . "The last couplet, as we gather from a ; note, refers to the case of Henry G. Green, I who was executed at Troy a few years since for deliberately poisining his wife, but who | was supposed to have 'experienced religion' a few moments before his death. 'I hope he did,' adds our satirist; 'but it was ridicu- I louß to hear a oioue divine lamenting with the most holy horror depicted on his coun tenance, that the poor wife had not made an 'open avowal of faith,' that sho might keep company in heaven with her sainted murder er! 'Twas a great pity, wasn't it, that she should be debarred from (he celestial society of such a kind and affectionate spouse I" DISTRESSING ! —On Thursday evening last, an insame woman, by the .name of lltioder Campbell, was burnt to death in the jail of his county by her clothes taking fire. She was in the care of a man from another-coun ty, who was taking her to the Insane Asylum at lluriisburg, and by the kind permission of Sheriff of this county, was lodged in ono of, the jail rooms for the evening. She had been in but a short time, however, before her clothes were discovered to be on fire. The pour sufferer made no alarm herself, and there were but a few shreds of her clothing when found. She was litterally burnt to a crisp, and survived but a short timo after the occurrence.— Lycoming Demo crat. .. ty Two Hungarians of distinction arriv ed at Philadelphia last week, and left for the YY'est, without making themselves known to any number of the citizens of (hat place.

A very good story is told of a little sharp practice on the [fort of the Cashier of the People's Bank of Patterson. The morning this institution failed he went to Philadelphia, expecting to make arrangements to go On as usual; but his agent there very properly re fused to redeem the bills unloss previously supplied with the needful, which was not forthcoming ; and the Cashier accordingly started on his return to make preparations for closing the banks.—On arriving at Jersey City he found qnile a number of brokers collected, who had got wind of the trouble, and were on their way to Patterson to secure it possible, the redemption of the bills in their hands. The train started, the hungry bill-holders seated in the cars, and the Cash ier, who is President of the Railroad Com pany, standing with the engineer on the lo comnlive. After a run of a few miles, the bolt by which the engine drew its burthen was quietly withdrawn, ani the locomotive carrying the Cashior, shot onward to Patter son, leaving the cars to follow at their lei sure. As soon as he had taken leave of his passengers, the engineer put back to bring up the (ruin, and found it at a dead stand in an interesting locality, where the passengers | had abundant tinio and opportunity to cxam | ine the scenerj, and cool the fever of their ■ impatience. When the train reached Pat terson the score of brokers rushed to the bank, but found it closed, with an interesting placard attached to the doer. Negroes In the Free States. The New York Express, in referring to the conduct of the abolitionists in Syracuse, on the occasion of the late riot, says that q now begins to be lime to agitate another j question, and that is, the exclusion by law of ' the immigration of blacks into the free Slates, as Indiana lias already done. If every run away negrtris to bring with him a Syracuse fight, the Express demands that they forbid negros by law from coming to New York. They have in that Slate already prohibited them (pm voting unloss t'ltey have a large property qualification; and, no doubt, says ' the Express, a majority to prohibit their en j try tbere could be got just as large as that I which prohibited them from voting. We | cannot afford to make the free Slates a bat tle-ground for runaway negros. Such sug ! gestions as these are of grave import to the colored people every where, to those in the 1 slave States as well as others, and would seem to imply that colonization is the best thing for them to look to ultimately for self preservation. YY'e are glad to see that in New York and other quarters they are be ginning to realize this thing for themselves. Read out of the Party j The following resolution was nnanimous 'ly adopted at the recent Free Soil Conven ! lion in Cincinnati: I Resolved, That as the Hon. S. P. Chase, ■ I Senator in Congtess from this Slate, has for mally withdrawn from our party ; whiie we , regret this course, and that it may not bo in- ' ! jurious to the cause of freedom, we feel it | J to be our duty to declare to the public thai j we do not hold ourselves responsible for his i official ucts, or recognize him as our repre- j I sentalive. , The Cincinnati Enquirer, in relation to i this resolution, says that Senator Chase j "lately addressed a letter to the editor at the ! Toledo Republican, in which lie declares Ins | intention to support the ticket nominated by i ' the Democratic Slate Convention, which met I at Columbus on the 6lh of August, and . ] gives bis reasons Ihcrefor at length. He is, I therefore, reaJ out of the parly.'

In 100 many instances, ihe badgering and browbeating of witnesses while under exam ination, by lawyers engaged in the trial of ci.es, is a matter to be complained of, and almost every'one has had an opportunity of observing the ungentlemanly and improper treatment to which they are sometimes sub jected. As has been correctly observed t>y another, the courts allow too much latitude to the bar, and, not unfro quently, lawyers who have earned the character of sharp and adroit cross-examiners abuse witnesses for the express purpose of con found ing and an noying them into something prejudicial to the cause of their opponent. By continual hectoring and hair splitting, the honest wit ness is often entangled in a web of inconsis tency, just plausible enough to affect the opinion of the jury to his prejudice, and the lawyer chuckles at his success rn perverting Ihe facts of the case from the mouth of the witness. Sometimes the character of fho witness is aspersed by the attorney, nnd he is compelled to stand in tho presence of his assailant, deprived of the oppoitunily and the right to defend himself before court, the jury and spectators. Tho aspersions and in uendos may be most unfounded, but the in jury must go tinredressod. Tho legal exam iner is shielded—the witness is unprotected. Courts should stand between the witnesses and the -unpriucipal barrister who looks upon a lawsuit as a battle to succeed, in which he ! is at perfect liberty to use false lights, falso 1 iutoHlgence, every sen et ambuscade, and | the lowest order of trickery. Honorable | members of the profession scorn such con- I duct, and to take such advantages. Legal pugilism, in which the defenceless | witness is the object of attack, is disgraceful |to the cross-examiner. To such lengths, ! however, is this bullying, hectoring, and truth-perverting mode of examination some j times carried, that a man of acknowledged i veracity andsenso, when ho look-the stand, | has boen obliged to confess, that when he | stepped down from it, he had proved himself I neither tho one nor the other. This dispar i agement and abuse of witnesses should be | reformed altogether. Courts should set a I higher standard for the bar. Unruly and un j gentlemanly members should be curbed. I The feelings, character ami rights of witnes ses should be respected. Good breeding de mands it and justice should enforce it. We speak only for art abused class, and would not pander to any prejudices which clamors against lawyers. We have no sym pathy with any such spirit. As a cotempo rary truly remarks, "the profession of latv is an honorable one. It is an elevating and en j nobling profession when its duties and res ! ponsibilitics ate rightly appieciated. And v we should rejoice to see the day when tho work of brow-beating and maligning witnes • scs, whose honesty and truthfulness there can be no reason to question, will be left to, and be the appropriate vocation only of, the I pettifogger and slanderer, the hanger on the ; tail of a profession which he disgraces, and whose insignificance only prevents him be ing summarily stricken from the rolls."'* Wants War. The N. Y. Sun, on tho authority of n pri vate letter from Madrid, states that her an < gust ladyship, the Queen of Spain, in a ro ply to a petition from a Cuban, for certain j concessions to the ill governed island, sai l that she deeply regretted that sho was not tho mistress of Iter own desires, or she would at onco declare war against the Uni ted Slates, come what might. It ia well . there arc some wiser people than herself in the limits of her dominions, or the poor dear little stupid might be accommodated to her heart's content. It is real charity to deny her glorious majesty the indulgence of whim ,on this occasion. The desire for war, how ever, is said to be universal in Spain, by the same writer. A Noble Act. j The Society of Friends separated in New \ork in 1828, and both divisions have boen kept ever since. At the time of the separa tion that property amounting to some SSO - 000, was njudged by law to belong to the di vision known as Hicksites. A few weeks ago the Hicksites held their yearly meeting, and agieed after a full consideration of the matter, to pay over to the other divisiou, ! commonly called Orthodox, 525,n00, or one half the estimate.! value of tho properly at tho time of the separation, which lias accor dingly been done. We consider this an act [ worthy of the higher instincts of Christian j liberality, and deserving of all praise. ' SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.— In a | late number of tho Cherokee Advocate, I there is published an order from Col. J. j Drennen, the Superintendent of Ittdiun Af fairs, requiring all while persons residing in tlia Charokoo Nation, west of the State of Arkansas, to leave within thirty days of the 28lh ult., "except regularly licensed traders and Ihe employers mentioned in their licen ses, graated (hem by the Agent of the Uni ted Slates, and such others as may be regu larly married to Cherokees, and who main tain a fair character for sobriety, industry and morality, and deport themselves in ail respects in accordance with the intercourse law ol the United States."—Hereafter, it is stated no white person will be allowed to tarry in the Nation except by permission from the Cherokee Agent, at the request of a respectable citizen, and then the applicant must file evidence of his character for so briety, industry, and good morals. Thus it would seem that government finds it necess ary to protect our savage brethren agaitil civilization. X3T America Vespuci, whoso personul beauty and other circumstances, some years ago, caused her for a limo to be received without suspicion into society in the eastern cities, from which she was afterwards, we believe, discarded, is now, according to a statement of a correspondet of tho Provi dence Journal, leading a life of half volun tary exile in the gay capital of Taris.
