Basilicas ! the Electoral Colleger
In order to fulfil the decree of the American
People, as expressed through the ballot-boxes on
Tuesday 7th instant, it Will devolve on the Elec
tors nf President and Vice Fresident of the United
States to meet at the capitals of iheir respective
States on the first Wednesday of December, and
there discharge their duty according to certain
forms of laxv. These forms, as prescribed by the
Constitution of the Uuited States, are, that the
Electors, when so assembled, shall vote for Pres
ident and Vice President by ballot n&ttimg in
their ballots the person voted for as President,- and
in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice
Piesulent. This having been done, they are then
to make distinct lists of all persons voted for as
President, and of all persons voted for as Vice
President, and of the number of votes- given for
each ; which lists they are to sign and certify,
and transmit sealed to the seat of Government
of the United States-, directed to the President of
the Senate. It is usual, we believe, for the cer
tificates to state that H the Electors voted by bztl
lot for President and for Vice President, naming
in their ballots the person? voted-for for" President,-
and in distinct ballots the person voted for for
Vice Predent." These lists are usually trans
mitted to the seat of Government by a special
messenger.
The President of the Senate is required to open
the certificates and count the votes in the pres'
ence of the Senate and House of Representatives,
and the persons having a majority of all the elec
toral votes are declared to be the President and
Vice President elect. This ceremony, in pursu
ance of the act of March 1, 1792, takes place on
he second Wednesday of February.
The Soefety of friends.
We should like to know by what right the Lo
cofoco newspapers continue to revile the Society
of Friends, because of the manner in which they
voted at the late election Have not the members
of that Society the common right of American
citizens to vote as they choose, without being
questioned for it,, much: less publicly reviled for
n 1' Are they under the guardianship of Locofoco
Editor and poll committees 1 Are they, bound to
vote as-these men wiah ! And if they do not if
they vote as they- choose are they to be punished
fon it ? Are they subject to this odibus- tyranny 1
These outrages, committed so often by Eocofo
coism upon the rights of the members of this so
ciety, are too gross to be borne in silence. We
denounce them as most flagrant violations of every
right of the Friends, and of every sentiment of
republicanism. We denounce those who commit
them as tyrants at" Hearts-, who are utterly destitute
of the principles of freedom, and' fii only to be
to.be slaves themselves. American citizens who
endeavorto destroy- the liberty of opinion of so
unobstrustve and retiring a set of men, as the
Friends, deserve to forfeit their own liberties.-

204,781 for Taylor, 108,5 62 for Cass, 108 065 fot
Van Buren. Thus van Buren runs- behind OasS.
Taylor's majority over Cass 96,219, and over Van j
Buren 96,716.
In the five counties to hear from Van Buren'S
vote will exceede that of Cass about 5,600, and Van
Buren's aggregate vote will not be far from .120,
000. Conceding to Taylor something less than
the full Whig vote in the five counties to hear
from, his aggregate vote will run up to about 215,
000, and Cass's to about 115,000. This will leave
Taylor's majority over Van Buren, his highest op
sonent, 95.000.
The official vote for Goverrmr, in 39 counties,
stands; for Fish, Whig, 159,498;- Walworth, Demv

The Banner County, in North Carolina, is Stan
ley, where Gen. Taylor received 800 votes for
Presidentand Gcn. Cass 20. That can't well
be beat'in the country, unless the ancient town of
Hull, in Massachusetts, should set up a claim.
The President Elect.
Moderation in victory is the best proof that the
victory was achieved by those who deserved it.
Gen. Taylor as the representee of a cause,
has neither partizans nor political enemies in the
intolerant sense of those terms. Men of both par
ties are his fellow-citizens, and they may all ex
pect to sharo in the blessings of good government
under his administration.
We do not mean to intimate the opinion that
'Gen. Taylor will not be decided in his course of
policy , or that he will indulge in the weakness of
that political philanthropy which would entrust
the enforcement of his administrative purposes to
unfriendly hands. But we express the hope and
entertain the belief that the fatal doctrine of the
spoils," with its proscriptive ferocity, and its re
lentless spiFit of extermination, will receive at Gen.
Taylor's hands a wholesome correction, and that
the whole country will be made to perceive and
with joy to acknowledge that it is once more gov
erned by tne- true spirit of the constitution.
A very able Enslish journal, the London Exam
iner, has taken an intelligent view of American
politics, and particularly of Gen. Taylor's position,
from which" it infers the nwtsi auspicious results to
this country. It says :
,vTne nomination of Gfen'. Taylor, and the course
of his relations w ith the narty of which he is now
the declared representative, indicate better pros
pects in the republican horizon1 than have been
visible for many years. It is yet possible that we
may see discretion, moderation, and integrity pre
prevail in the choice of the Chief Magistrate of
America. Gen. Taylor is nof a trading politician.
The qualities he lately displayed in the field, and
the judgment with which1 he kept himself aloof
from- the extreme party that1 had obtained his ser
vices1 as a soldier concentrated pubic attention
and esteem upon him. He is the only man, we
believe, since the greater race of American Presidents-,
who has at once united many parties. By
Democrats and Whigs, in primary assemblies, in
separate and mixed meetings, he seems iohave
been nominated. These nominations- he appears
to have accepted, one after the other, without con
cealing or suppressing the fact that he held the
opinions of the Whigs, and now that the Whigs
as a body, have named him their candidate, he
frankly tells them that He wHl not be'a party Pres
ident. We have here the promise of a brave and
honorable- man uncontammated with party mad
ness.
The moral force of Gen. Taylor's position asr
President derives its chief element from the fact'
that he goes-ihto office unpledged, uncommitted,
and free to consult-' the best interests of ttie coun
try, with a calm reliance upon the good sense and
patriotism of the people that they will sustain him
in his sincere course of duty. Let parly animos
ities die aWay in a measure, and then we may in
deed hope that his Administration, judged with
out prejudice,-may make an effective appeal to'thg
patriotism and intelligent sense nf the country.
There are important domestic questions with which,
in fact, the existing relations of parties as Whig
and Democratic have nothing to do." And: prbBa-
bly no man could have been called tb the chair of
the Chief Magistracy so admirably adapted as Gen.
Taylon from character, ppsition,,and previous ser-
vkesr, t? meet these questions and to settle them-
judiciously. Ther very fact that a man has been-,
elected to the Presidency in'the face of his refu

Massachusetts' Slate Election.
The latest account from' Massachusetts is, that
Gov. Briggs is short some five hundred votes of
an election by the people. He will, however, be
elected by the Legislature, which is Whig by an
increased majority.
Mr. Winthrop, the present popular Speaker of
the House of Representatives, is re-elected to
Congress by a very large majority. We hear al
so of the election to Congress of James: Duncan,
George Ashmun, Julius Rockwell, Horace Mann,
and Joseph Grinnell. In four districts there is no
choice.

lowing paragraphs fromithe Mihes Jota-nalf ex
posing the reckless and-ToutrageousvriieahSY,used
by the Cassites to carry that couhtjf :
FoIiCical Slavery.
Taylors majority Vouldhavc exceeded, six
teen hundred in Schuylkill county, if the voters
had been permitted to follow their inclinations:
but we must confess that we never witnessed such
abjget slavery fn our lives, as was presented on
Tuesday last,it was humiliating to American cit
izens ! At least two hundred. honest Irish.adopted
citizens in the towns in the Coal Region expressed
a desire to vote the Taylor ticket they had felt
the pressure of the times, knew the remedy, and
were anxious to bring about a change. But they
were tracked by men who have set themselves op
as their leaders in these towns, and vvho, like
bloodhounds, hunted them d.owd and even threap
ened them with their lives ifthey dared vote for
Taylor. In some instances the tickets were
snatched from them and torn up before their faces,
and others placed In their hands, and then pushed
up to the polls and, the tickets hurried into the
windows their prejudices weie appealed too
their religion held up at the political shambles,
and their votes batteied to secure paltry offices to
their leaders from a corrupt and dishonest party.
We have heard of the oppression of the English
Government in Ireland we have heard of Rus
sian serfdom, but we question whether either is to
be compared with the political vassalage, to which
a large portion of our Irish adopted citizens are
reduced in this region a native born American,
and our adopted citizens from all other countries
go to the polls as freemen it is their right, and no
threats intimidate them, they have no fear they
are freemen,.in every sense of the word, and act as
freemen. But these men are to be pitied, not con
demned we knoio that many are well-disposed
and orderly citizens but they know the maligni
ty of their leaders, they know that they are lia
ble to be waylaid and beaten almost to death for
so doing but we rejoice that there is a prospect
that this political thraldom will soon cease. A j
number of their countrymen have thrown off the
shackles, they defy their malignity and they as
sure us that they will have every person prompt-:
ly arrested and prosecuted to the full, extent of the
law, who dare threaten them hereafter with regard
to their votes they are determined to disenthral
them and when this is done, the. frequent scenes
ol riot and bloodshed which have disgraced thi3
region, will cease in our community. We sin
cerely hope that every friend of the law, order and
freedom in the region will extend their aid in this
praisworthy undertaking."
JLocofoco Investigating Committee.
" We hope the Locofoco Stale Central Commit
tee will now appoint their Committee to investigate
the frauds committed in Schuylkill county.. The
boys are ready for them. The declaration that
Gov. Johnston should not take his seat as Govern
or of Pennsylvania, does not amount to much.
41 The Alms-house Guard," as the minions of Lo
cofocoism, who prate democracy, have termed our
honest and hard-working Miners-and Laborers, in
derision was about on Tuesday last, and the
way they routed these paid slanderers of Polk's
rotten, plundering Administration, is sufficient to
make them weep over their departing salaries.
This 'Alms-house Guard1 will prove a terror to
Locofocoism in this County hereafter", it will,
haunt them day and night." J
General Taylor's Hat.
The New Orleans Delta gives the following ac
count of an amorphous " tile" under which Gen'.
Taylor shades his knowledge box :
The distinguished candidate of the Whigs-takes-matters
quite easily, at his pleasant, residence in
the barracks at Baton Rouge. We saw him' walk
ing about town, chatting very familiarly with the
citizens, and that same old immense boat-shaped
hat sent him-by some" friends in Tennessee. By
the way we are puzzled to divine what" mdtive
could have prompted the Tennesseearis to bestow
such a gift upon the old general,- who' certainly,
however, people may differ upon his-politiearqual-
ifications, has deserved better treatment than to'
be condemned to wear1 this misshapen, heavy, un
comfortable and ungrateful chapeau. Had this
hat been sent to Gen. Taylor after the battles of
the 8th and 9th of May, he would never have had
reason to complainof the absence of his pontoon
train for he mifeht have converted thiS wonderful-
production of Tennessee skill into a' boat of suffi
cient dimensions to transport a whole regimSht' at'
once across the Rio Grande. We are amused at?
the dry reponse of a citizen of Batbn Rouge, of
whom we made enquiry where the general was to
be found. " You see that big white thing looming
out down there on the levee V1 t Yes:"' uWell,
that's old Zachariah's hat,-and you'll find the old'
chap somewar in the neighborhood."

Another Mysfery.
A young lady, about 18 years of age, named
Marietta Smith, the daughter of respedahls
parents, and a teacher of good standing in una
of our public school, had suddenly disappeared
under most extraordinary circumstances. The
facts are these : One day last week, Ma
Smith, the mother of the lost girl, who reside
at 100 Green street,-received a letter through
the Itical post, apparently written by a frmaU,
informing, her that a conspiracy had been form
ed to abduct and ruin her daughter, and staling
that the utmost vigilance would be necessaiyio
prevent its' consunVmation. " The letter wat
shown to MarrteViaVaWd several, friends of ths
family, most of whom considered u a hoax.
The young lady herself declared that she had
not tne remotest idea' of the source from wheuee
it came. But the prophecy was soon to be ful
filled": On Saturday the 4th inst., Mi?s Smith
left Her home for the Normal School in Grand
street. Subsequently she called at the houe
of a friend in Elizabeth: street, and at an ear!
hour in the afternoon left the latter place, in i
happy and cheerful mobd, on her return home.
From that limn to the preent he han not been
seen-or rrearir of by her friends, and her fan
reniatns a painful mysery. The ciiy tnagn-trates.-the
police, the school society, and ths
friends of the family,- have been unwaried m
their exertions to discover her whereahouu,
but no cluo whatever has yet been obtained.
if the unfortunate girl had sunk into the earth,
every trace of her could not have 'been mors
