We would call the attention of some of our subscriber, and especially certain Post Mas ters, to the following reasonable, and well set tled rules of Law in relation to publishers, to the patrons of newspapers. THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS. 1. Subscribers who do not gite express no tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing ao continue their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of 4heir papers, iho publishers may continue to tend them till all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers from the officers to which they' are directed, they are held responsible till they "have settled their bill, and ordered :heir papers tliscontined. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publishers, and their paper is -sent to the former direction, they are held re sponsible. 5. The courts hare decided that refusing to lake a newspaper or periodical from the office, or removing ami leaving it uncalled for, is "pri ma facie" evidence of intentional fraud. The Final Resale. The result of the recent elections has at length been officially ascertained, and Mr. Polk s elected President over Mr. Clay by a major ity of Sixty Five Electoral Votes. The fol lowing is the voto of the several Stales. Polk. Clay. 9 Massachusetts 12 Connecticut 9 Vermont 6 Rhode Island 4 New Jersey 7 Delaware 3 Maryland 8 North Carolina 11 Tennessee 13 Kntucky 12 Ohio 23 Maine New Hampshire 6 New York 36 Pennsylvania 26 Virginia 17 South Carolina 9 Georgia . 10 Alabama 9 Mississippi 6 Louisiana 6 Indiana 12 Illinois 9 Michigan 5 Missouri 7 Arkansas 3 170 i 105 The 36 Electoral votes of New York has produced this result. Had it not been for the immense frauds which were there perpetrated upon the ballot-box, James K. Polk, would not now be President elect of the American people. As it is, we must 6ubmit, for four long years, to the rule of a man and his party, who were not the choice of & majority of the legal voters. A fine commentary, this, upon the right of suf frage, and republican institutions ! Tennessee. This truly patriotic State, has spoken, and the full sound of her voice has reached our ears. Her hardy sons, who are well acquaint ed with James K. Polk, and know him like a hook, bare discarded him, and declared in fa vor of the great statesman of Kentucky. The official role has been proclaimed, which is as follows : The Tariff. The Southern papers, without a single ex ception, hail the. election of James K., Polk as a free trade triumph, and declare that the re peal of the Whig Tariff of 1842, will follow, as one of its natural consequences. On the ther hand, a portion of the Pennsylvania Loco Focos say, that if Mr. Polk permits tho pres ent Tariff to be repealed, he is a traitor a ve ry Arnold. This is delightful harmony; and were it not that ihe best interests of the coun try are involved in tho cnumroversy, it would be amusing for us Whigs to stand off, arid see the different factions of pokedom wrangle about the particular and distinctive principles which will be the guiding rule of their Chief's actions, when he assumes the reins of government. 1: is a sad commentary upon the intelligence of the people, however, that as soon as their man is ascertained to be elected, the ;ery men who contributed to his elevation, are in doubt and fear as to what course of policy he will pursue. Had Henry Clay, been elected, no fears would be entertained as to his conduct. His princi ples have been fearlessly proclaimed for years, and every man in ihe country, who knows any thing about principles, knows what they are.

Polk, therefore, has lost his own Slate, and is the first and only President who ever failed in carrying it. Pennsylvania and New York should blush at this result, and bang their heads for very shame, in having given their rotes 10 a man who does not enjoy either the confidence or esteem of his neighbors. Ten ne5ee has done nobly; and whatever ills may befall the country, during the coming four years, she at least can wash her hands of th blame S ' i i ! mm We find the following pithy paragraph in an exchange paper: Silas Wright was lately seen pricing bull dogs in the Albany market, and a is supposed, by way of protection against the office-6eeker. South Carolina. The Legislature of this State met at Colum bia, on the 25th ul(., and organized by electing Speakers of both Houses. On the following day Governor Hammond sent in his annual Message, in which, among other things, he threatens nullification, and a dissolution of the Union, unless the Tariff is repealed and Texas annexed. He also denounces the Northern loco focos, as a set of shuffling, treacherous politicians, on whose honesty and good faith no reliance can be placed. In this last particular, he is unquestionably right. As to his threats of nullification and dissolution, it may do lo amuse the hot spirits of his own State, and get them into such another difficulty as Henry Clay freed them from in 1833. A Tote Challenged. The vole of Thomas H. Benton, U. S. Sena tor, from Missouri, was challenged at the late election at St. Louis, on the ground of his no longer being a citizen of the State. He was sworn, and on his declaration thai he considered St. Louis his place of residence, ho was permit ted to vote. Mr. Benton's wife, owns consid erable property in Virginia, and as he passes most or his time, which is not occupied in Washington, upon it, this doubt, as to his place of residence, arose. A Loco Foco Jubilee. We learn from the Easton papers, that the locos of that place bad an interesting jollifica tion on Wednesday of last week, to which their political brethren of all creation, in general, and of Monroe County, in particular, were invited to come. About four hundred of the general, and pour of the particular, accepted the invita tion, and repaired to Easton, where they had one of the queerest times, according to all ac counts that ever occurred. The only thing of interest, to the people of this region, which took place, was the presentation of a large piece of painted muslin, nailed to four or five sticks. It was called a banner; and was presented by the Democrats (so they called themselves) of North ampton, to the Democrats of Monroe. The cer emony of giving and receiving the thing, was conducted by William H. Hutter, a beardless boy under 21 years of age, on the part of the Easton folks, and our renowned townsman, the high, mighty, and puissant James H. Walton, Esq., on the part of Monroe. Hutter compli mented him on the large majority which North ampton's young daughter had given to Jimmy Polk, and hoped that she would always here after do as well. Mr. Walton then mounted the steps in front of the Head Quarter's, and all eyes were upon him. In fact, it is said, that the people looked as if they had never seen one of their young daughter's children, and were doubtful whether they were not something more than ordinary people. As soon as silence was restored, our Orator began and such a speech as he made. O! shades of Demosthenes and Cicero ! He spoke of the manner in which he and C. B. Shaw, Esq. fought the vile Whigs of Monroe. Of the trips they made to Hamilton township, Chcsnuthill, Sm'uhfield, &c, during tho summer and fall, to enlighten the good peo ple on the subject of the martyr Dorr, and the Bank Monster. He also spoke in pathetic terms of the numerous wild-cats, polkats, and other cats, which abound in this region, and which, he said, the ugly Whigs, had intended lo exterminate, in the event of Mr. Clay's elec lion. He then spoke of Northampton and her fair daughter Monroe, and how the latter loved her mother ; but before he had half finished ibis concluding part of his speech, all the old women and young girls, on the ground, became so overpowered by his feeling and eloquent re marks, that their sobs and sighs completely drowned his voice. The "banner" was ihen carried in proceesion, through the streets of Easton, and afterwards put on board an empty shingle waggon, to b conveyed to us here where jt arrived on the following day, without ihe least damage to the muslin or paint. The following letter is pretty considerably to the point. The gentleman who wrote it is well known in these parts, having formerly been a resident of this town, we are informed. He is deaf, but in our opinion he is not quite so dumb as some folks in this region who voted for Mr. Polk, on the ground of his being in fa vor of the tariff of '42, &c. when he is not at all. The Beaf Mute and the liOco-Focos. New. York, Nov. 18, 1844. To Editor Greely: On my requesting the Whigs to rally to the polls on tho 5th iust. the poor deluded Loco Focos bitterly complained of Mr. Peet, of the N. Y. Deaf and Dumb In stitution, making a Whig ofine. He taught me not. v It was my glory to be educated in Philadel phia, the hot" bed of 1776 Whigs. Fraud and rascality are Mr. Polk's stilts to the Presidential Chair. Tho existing Tariff, of which Mr. Clay is the most distinguished advocate, greases the wheels of business on which ihe couniry rides. But Mr. Polk pushes the foreign omnibus of Jree trade against the domestic stage of the Iw riff, and upsets it; by which the country is se riously wounded. I need not expatiate an the effects of the election of Polk as President; but let the Loco Focos witness them and pay dearly for them. Mr. Clay is not responsible. Let the intelligent and virtuous Whigs be the pilots of Mr. Polk's ship of government, or he will be wrecked. Let the world answer the question whether Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk is the poor man's best friend. 1 would rather be Henry Clay than President.- God bless him ! Yours truly. WM. DARLINGTON. . Discoveries of valuable iron ore have been madejn the lower Anthracite region of Penn rJva!iis, a little North East of Harrisburg. The late. Grand Jury of Erie County, Penti sylvania, prevented the Naturalization Laws as an abuse, which was necessary to be corrected. The Coun acted upon the presentation and or dered it to be printed. A Voice from Tennessee. We copy below a paragraph, from an edito rial article that appeared in a late number of the National Banner. It embodies a just re buke to the friends of the Tariff in New York and Pennsylvania, who voted for Polk. We cannot feel surprised at the indignation of our brethren in Tennessee, especially when we re member that that State has just gone for Hen ry Clay and the Tariff of 1842, while the Em pire and the Keystone States have given their votes, in the language of the Banner, to a de termined enemy of leading Whig measures. "You men of New York and Pennsylvania, are responsible for the disaster brought upon ihe nation by. the election of a man whom we of Tennessee have rejected for the Chief Ma gistracy of the nation, after having rejected him over and over again, when a candidate for iho olhce ol Governor in tne state. Wo nave no bitterness of feeling towards you ; we have gone with you in support of measures on which pros pcrity is based ; and you have chosen to place over us a man who is the determined enemy of those measures. Are we to understand from your decision that you are in favor of breaking down the Tariff! If that is your meaning, be assured that we, of this region, can meet the direful consequences quite as well as you can. Let your elected anMariff President do his worst in destroying the beneficent policy we have advocated ; and we will see who could hold out the longest." Cause and Effect. A gentleman in this city who has a large manufactory in the couniry, has found it neces sary to stop a large portion of his work?, and to discharge about five hundred hands in doing so. He called them together, and informed them that in consequence of the result of the election, he deemed it for his interest to stop a portion of the works, and to discharge a num ber of his men. As, he said, many of them had voted for the Whig ticket, and many of ihem lor the Jjocoloco ticket, he put it to them to say which of them ought to retain their posts, and which ought to be discharged. A luige majority decided that the Locos ought to go and consequently they were paid off and dis missed. N. Y. Express. Pennsylvania and the Tariff. The Polk men of Norfolk, Va. had a torch light jubilee on Monday night. Among the insignia was a transparency blazoning forth in staring capitals "down with tub Tariff," and following close at its heels another wiih " twenty-six cheers for Pennsylvania."

The Lynchburg Virginian, in referring to ihe mproper facilities extended to foreign emigrants by our naturalization laws, and especially to ihose who are sent hither by foreign govern ments, and who do not voluntarily abandon the and of their birih, forlhe purpose of enjoying :iere the advantage of free government the enants of poor houses and penitentiaries, who are transported to the United Slates as a penal colony, and who, many of them fresh from ihe cells of a prison, and with the marks of the iron in their flesh, are prepared to become the willing instruments of those who, are base enough to use them, and by perjury, to obtain the privilege of voters quotes, in confirmation of these facts, the following extract of a letter rom F. List, Esq., American Consul at Leip- sic, in reply 10 a circular issued by the Treas ury Department on the subject. " I have made inquiries with respect to the transportation of paupers from this country 10 the United States; but state affairs being in this country not so openly conducted as might be desired, I have not been successful until of late, when, by confidential communications, have learned things which would require energetic meas ures on the part of the United States to be coun- teracted. Not only paupers, but criminals, are transported from the interior of this country, in order to be embarked j or the United Stales'. " A Mr. De Stein, formerly an officer in the service of the Duke of Saxe Gotha, has lately made propositions to the smaller Slates of Sax ony, for transporting their criminals to the port of Bremen, and embarking them there for the United States, at seventy-five dollars per head ! which offer was accepted by several of them. The first transport of crimi nals, who for the greater part have been condemn ed to hard labor for life, (among -them two no torious robbers, Pfeifer and Albrecht,) will leave Goiha on the 16th of this month; and it is intended by and by, 10 empty all the work houses and jails of that country, in this man ner!! There is little doubt that several other States will imitate the nefarious practice ! ! In order to slop it, I have sent an article to the General Gazette of Augsburg, wherein 1 have attempted to demonstrate that this behavior was contrary to ail ihe luws of nations, and thai it was shameful behaviour towards the couniry which offers the best inducement to German manufactures. " It has of late also become a general prac tice in the towns and boroughs of Germany, to get rid of their paupers and vicious members, by collecting the means for effectuating their passage 10 the United States, among the inhab itants, and by supplying them from the public funds !" In corroboration of the truth of the above statement of our Consul, we annex the follow ing from an exchange 'paper: " Ii is staled thai the Mayor of Baltimore, in a letter to the President, said that fourteen con victs from Bremen had been landed in that city. They were shipped in irons, and these marks of crime and degradation were kepi on until the vessel was near the port." Salaeratns a Substitute for Saltpetre , in Curing meat. Saltpetre has long been considered by phy sicians as a bad article to bo used in curing meat, being extremely injurious to digestion. It is of so cotd a nature that only a small quan tity is sufficient to destroy life. In ihe article of saleeraius we have an excellent, convenient, and harmless substitute, and should be used in the same manner as saltpetre has been. Meal has a stronger affinity for saltpetre than for com mon salt. Salrjeralus has the same power in that respect, and thereby prevents ihe meat from becoming too salt; and the same quantity should be used as of saltpetre. There is this difference in them, that saltpetre dissolves read ily in cold water, whereas salmratus does not ; it should be pounded and dissolved before it is put into the brine. Salairatus is composed of sulphate of potash and pearlash; and if any person is disposed to procure the sulphate of potash at the shops, and use it instead of sal ajraius, they will find its effects substantially ihe same.

After the reading in the Senate, Mr. Pickens submitted the fol. lowing resolutions : Resolved, That the State of Souih Carolina takes the deepest interest in the annexation of Texas to the Federal Union, because we be. lieve it essential to preserve ihe peace and per. manent independence of the Confederacy, and must result in advancing the ultimate prosper!, ty of the whole country. Resolved, Thai the collateral issues which have arisen in the progress of the Texas rtegn. ciatfon by the official communication of Lord Aberdeen to the Federal Government, dated December 26th, 1843, in which he announce ihat " Great Britain desires, and is constantly exerting herself lo procure ihe general abolition of slavery throughout the world," are of such a nature as to make the annexation of Texas a - vital and paramount question lo the people of South Carolina. Resolved, That we look with confidence i ihe recent election of a Republican President and Vice President, as giving us a certain guar anty that all ihe constitutional powers of ih9 Government will be excited to secure the im mediate annexation of that Republic. Resolved, further, That the Tariff of 1812 is unjust, oppressive, and against the who! spirit of ihe Constitution ; and that the rrcmt triumph of the Democratic Republican jure has taken place under sm-h ctrcum-i.Miics u, give us an unequivocal pledge that 11 is ( r reduced to a revenue standard, and the wants of an economical government, upon the vwt principles of the Compromise Act of 1833.

Conflict with a .Had Do jr. Mr. Happoldi of this city met with a great misfortune a week or two since, in the loss of a fine pointer by hydrophobia, and under cir cumstances of uncommon peril to himself. Af ter shooting until past raid day, observing that his dog became disobedient, and exhibited j suspicious repugnance to water, he tied it with a handkerchief to a sapling, leaned his guit against a tree, and ate his lunch a few yard off. On returning toward his gun, he found tie dog, evidently mad, in the act of tearing itsflf loose and making ai him. Without being able 10 reach his gun, Mr. H. ran into some water near, and stood on a log until the dog had gon: out of sight. He was then returning for h gun, when suddenly the dog rushed upon hia over a hillock, and he only escaped being bit 3 ten by seizing ihe rabid animal by the throi. A struggle ensued between them for more lb" half an hour, requiring the exertion of all ibj muscular power of the assailed, while the wj mangled its tongue dreadfully and covered Jr II. with foam and blood. He at last succeed in getting off his bell, putting it around the do neck, and buckling il to the siem of a stmi bush ; he then regained his gun and shot ihedof Mr. H. though he fortunately escaped withocj a scratch, was much exhausted, and ihe mm cles of his arms were swollen from the exeruoa for two (lays after.
