m JRFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN Thursday, November 15, 1849. The Elections. NE W J ERSTSY: At the Legislature election sn Ihis State, on the 6ih inst,, the Whigs were again successful in maintaining their ascendancy sn.-the. Legislature, notwithstanding the Locofocos endeavored by rjateing local issues, and adroitly managing the excitement on the subject of the Monopoly v to get possession of the State, they havebeen completely foiled. The Senate stands 10 Whigs- to 9 Locofocos the House 33 Whigs to 25 Locdfocos. Upon local issues several strong Whig counties were carried wholly or in part by theiroppbnems. -In Mercer, John Dill, one of the Whig-candidates for' the' Legislature was defeated; and a Locofoco Sheriff elected, by the defection J of the ' Wtiigs of Hopewell, the strongest Whig township in the county. t N E? YOftK. 1 n the City the Whigs carried every thing State Ticket by from two to three thousand majority; county officers, such as Sheriff, &c; a majority of the Aldermen or Council ; and nearly ali the members of Assembly; The Sen ale is Whig, and the House stands 65 Whigs to 69 Locofocos. with Jefferson and Steuben to hear from, which last year elected four Whigs. The entire Whig 'State ticket is supposed to be elec ted. ' ' e . MICHIGAN1. "Enough returns havo been re ceived to iudicate.ihat the Locofocos, as usual, have carried the, State. VIRGINIA. Col. T. 5. Haymchel, Whig, has been elected to Congress from the Wheeling Dis trict. This a Whig gain .MASSACHUSETTS. The city of Boston has given about 2200 majority for the Whigs. The returns from 60 towns indicate that George N. Uriggs, the Whig candidate for Governor, is elec ted by the people. The coalition party have prob ably eledteH their Senaiors'in Middlesex, Worces ter, and Plymouth. In Norfolk and Essex the contest is doubtful. The House is largely Whig. In the fourth Con gressional District lion. John G. Palfrey is de feated by a larger majority than before. The vote for Philips will "be 10.000 less than last year. Boutwelfs vote has increased. LOUISIANA. Gen. George Walker, .the Lo cofoco candidate for Governor of this State, has been ejeated. It is believed that the Congression al delegation will stand as before. The election passed off very quietly. Tho Post Office Department. The Pemisvlvanxan. savs the Dailv News, rnn- t tinuesits mournful-croakings about the post-office I department; It says "it'is unsafe' to remit money letters by mail," as "very few ever reach their j tlestinalion." That robberies have been very fre- queht 'oi late is true' but in forty-nine cases out of , fifty thcrperpetrdtors have been whining Locofo-j cos1 whose tears and bitter lamentations alone j Jicpt them in office. The Locofoco agents of the depatrnent. are by no means unwilling that the ! mails should become deranged and money letters i lost, so long as. the odium of the first falls on a '' Whig administration, and the, remittances of. the last go into their own ' pockets. Much has been done to reform 'the department, but much more re mains to be done. .' ' 'Preparations, it is said, are making at Wash ington for a long session of Congress, some of the members engaging houses until August next, ex pecting" a seven 6r-eight months' session. For all ihe buisi'ness usualy transacted, there is no neces sity for the session consuming as manv weeks. fi fin State Treasurer. 'hesLyco'f6cos are presenting candidates ihnu- merable' for the office of State Treasurer. It is admitled.that the. present incumbent is one of the best;ihe.taterbas ever had but he is a Whig.

The next Apportionment of Senator ; and Representatives.. ' The Philadelphia Daily News of the 31st ult., has an article upon this subject, of the spirit of which we fully approve, urging the adoption of the simile district system, instead of the division by counties which we now have. The article was evidently conceived in an earnest desire to pro mote the integrity, honesty and efficiency of the Legislature, and to bind the representative, in all cases, more closely and immediately to his consti tuents. We think, however, that there are some objections to this system which have been over looked by our cotemporary; and which, in our judg ment, would far outweigh the advantages to be derived from it. Such a system would manifestly destroy the individuality of the counties, those smaller geographical as well as civil divisions of the State, which it seems to us important to pre serve. It would be impossible to apportion the Representatives amongst the several counties so as to give, each its proper ratio of representation without sometimes forming a district out of parts of two or more counties; and it might even so hap pen that a county would be so situated, in regard to the districts so formed, that it would have no Representative at all, which could be claimed as exclusively its own; and this would be in violation of that clause of the Constitution which provides that " every county shall have at least one Repre sentative." It was evidently the design of those who framed the present Constitution, that the sec tional influence of the counties should be pre served in the Legislature. The representatives though apportioned cheifly in view of an equality in regard to population, was not intended, in our opinion, to represent population only, but territory also; and hence the geographical limits of the counties were preserved as one of the elements of the Apportionment. The allotment of members is to be made "according to the number of taxables in each particular county," and not according to the number of taxables in the whole State. It must, therefore, be inferred, that in using this lan guage, the framers of the Constitution inea nt to preserve the county influence in the Legislature. Otherwise they would have simply porvided that the Representative Districts should be apportioned throughout the State according to population. The suggestion of our cotemporary, that the sin gle district system would identify the Represen tative more closely with his constituency is, never theless, worthy of great consideration; and could such a system be devised without violating the integrity and unity of the counties, we should hail it as an important improvement in the Apportion ment System of the State. It is at all events in cumbent upon the legislature to examine the sub ject intelligently and patiently, with a view to the adoption of the best possible system that can be devised, having a proper regard for all the interests involved. The provisions of the constitution, having a bearing upon the subject, are as follows: The 4th section ot tne 1st article provides, that every " seven-years an enumeration of the taxable inhab- nanis snau ue mane, in sucn manner as snau oe directed by law; the number of Representives shall, at the several periods of making such enu meration, be fixed by the Legislature, and appor tioned among the city of Philadelphia and the several counties, according to the number of tax able inhabitants in each, and shall never be less than sixty, nor greater than one hundred. Each county shall have at least one Representaive;" but no county erected since the adoption of the constitution, " shall be entitled to a separate rep resentation until a sufficient number of taxable inhabitants shall be contained within it to entitle them to one Representative, agreeably to the r3tio which shall then be established." The 6th sec tion of the same article provides that the number of senators shall "be fixed by the Legislature and apportioned among the several, districts" formed, " according to the number of taxable inhabitants In each, and shall never be less than one-fourth nor greater than one-third of the number of Rep resentatives." The 7th section of the same article further provides that no Senatorial district " shall be so formed -as to entitle it to elect more than two Senators, unless the number of taxable inhabitants in any city or county shall at any time be such as to entitle it to elect more than two; but no city or county shall be entitled to elect more than fbur Senators. When any district shall be composed of two or more counties, they shall be adjoining; neither the city of Philadelphia nor any county shall be divided in forming a district." Hatrisburg Telegraph. Constructive MileageReform. A correpondent of the New York Courier, writ ing from Wasington, on the 29th, says: Senators in Congress will no longer be allowed lo filch from the public Treasury under the spuri ous claim for "constructive mileage." For years past, on the advent of every new Administration, the Senate has been in the habit of charging full mileage for attendance at the special executive session of that body, in addition to the amount re ceived for the" regular session. Of course this usage had its origin during the existence of the " dynasty of peculators;" but it was killed a few days since by that incorruptible and intrepid guar dian of the people's money, the Hon.Elisha Whit tlesey, first comptroller of the Treasury. It seems that a claim came up in usual from, for $40,000, paid by A. Dickens.'Esq., Clerk of the Senate, for "constructive mileage" in attendance at the special, executive session in, March last, and every member of the. Senate, save three, received pay. Mr, Whittlesey, after full deliberation, was of opinion that he claim ought not to be allowed. Fearing, however, that the Administration might regard this as an inopportune occasion for such action as might displease ihe Senate, he stated the case to the President, through Mr. Clayton, and added the remark that, if it was not thought proper to act in accordance with his (Mr. W.'s) convictions, he would resign the Comptrollership. The President's prompt and characteristic reply was, "Tell Mr. Whittlesey j0 do what is right, and jet the consequences take care, of themselves." The claim was immediately rejected. Mr. Dick ens has his remedy against the honorable Sena tors, and it is to be hoped that they will immedi ately "make restitution." -Honey Clay on Soe&rkrout. Henry Clay's opinions have' bjeVn-tquoted upon many subjects, those upon sourkrout are quite as decided as anything he has uttered, if the follow ing story be true : "Henry Clay dined recently with Ex-Pxesident Martin Van Buren, at Lindenwald. The desert consisted of crullers, olecocks, sjickethush, ow greetchees, &c. Mr. Clay expessed a wish to see that "twelve acres of reclaimed bog land," so much talked of during the election, which Mr. Van Buren took great pleasure in showing him. On their return, a tureen filled to the brim with sourkrout was set before him. Clay put his hand kerchief to his nose, and with a ''whew," said " Van, I've lived long, and encountered as strong opposition as any other man, but to be frank with, you, I never encountered anything quite as strong as this." The doings of a Vote or two. One single vote sent Oliver Cromwell to the long Parliament', Charles Stuart to the scaffold, revolutionized England, and made Great. Britain free. Four votes, in the City of New York, made Thomas Jefferson President of the United States; one vote gave us the tariff of 1842, and one vote made the tariff of 1846. One vote, gave us Texas, made war with Mexico, slew thousands of our peo ple and purchased California, turned thither the tide of emigration, and will probably- change the destiny of the world. 'God and Duty." The Hon. George S. Hilliard in the course of an admirable addrss to the Whigs of Massachu setts at their late Convention, made this noble and elevating appeal: Let us infuse into the politics of our country and in our state, so far as we can, a more elevated tone of morality. I confess for one that I think that the tone of political discussion in our country, the tone of speeches, out of Congress, and in Con gress, is too low. It is too material, and it is too sordid it is too little elevated and generous. I would, breathe into it a purer spirit. Let us not be afraid to take upon our lips, even in politics, the words " God and Duly." They will kindle and animate the soul, as the mountain breeze refreshes and braces the material frame. Let us not hesi tate, Whigs of Massachuetts, here or at Washing ton to act upon the conviction that " where the spirit of the Lord is" there and there alone, is true liberty. Shields elected Senator. Gen. Shields was elected to the U. S. Seriate by the Illinois legislature a few days' since. The vote in the legislature was as follows: Shields 72; Edwards 21. In the previous caucus Breese ran Shields very j close. General Shields was nominated in caucus, -on the 2lst ballot, by four majority. The Washington Republic says the excitement among ihe Loco Foes, of the legislature, before the election was very great. The candidates were Brecse, McClernand and Shields. Judge Doug lass was at Springfield, using his influence to the utmost in favor of Mr. McClernand.- Passing Counterfeit Money. On ihe 24th ult. two young men answering to the name of Broadhead, came to Bearer Meadows, .where they passed a five Dollar Counterfeit Bill on the Harrisburg Bank, on Mr. Wilson, tavern keeper, with whom they lodged, a five dollar bill on a Watch Maker, and a five dollar bill on Ham burg & Co. George Braver, clerk in the latter concern, followed thernon the Engine Sheliahdoah, when about a mile below the Meadows he came up with them. Mr. Makin, the Engineer, slacked off to allow them to ride on the train, and then 3topped little before getting to Weatherby to fasten a bolt. Braver walked forward, got the necessary assis tance and had them arrested just as the train was leaving Weatherby, and brought them back They were examined before Squire Hamburg and and committed to answer. It is said , they hail from Pike county-. Wilkes-Barre Advocate. Cure fov Headache. A work has recently been published in P,aris, by an eminent physician, in which he describes a new remedy for headache. He uses a' mixture of icsK and salt, iri the proportion of 1 to i, as a cold mix ture, and this he applies, by means of a little purse of silk gauze, with a rim of gUtta percha, to lim ited spots on the forehead or other parts of the scalp where rheumatic headache is felt. It gives instantaneous relief. The skin is subject Id t(je process from half a minute to one and a half min utes, and is rendered hard and white. It is good in erysipelas and diseases of the skin.

" N. B. If she looks twic'e" at it, another dozen of girls must be got immediately. ' - ' ' Ratting ExTiuoRDiXAny". The greatest haul at rat catching we have ever known, took place at the granary of Henry Drinker, Esq., near this vil lage, a few days since. By placing; a bag at the only hole from which they could escape, the as tonishing number of 172 rats were caught and killed. Montrose (Pa. Register. Temperance Scruples.

That was the sole reason, and the poor fellow has never heard the last of it. Spain is indebted to England $45i000,000, and it is said that Cuba is, pledged for the payment of the debt.

It is estimated that a million of dollars have been paid for messages on the different telegraph Alwcg uufju me j;u:ji year. ITIeetinff of Congress. The first session of the 31st Congtess'will com mence on the 2d of December, and although the session which may probably last until July next, does not promise to be an important one in its gen eral results, its proceedings will be watched with interest, for many subjects having a vital bearing upon the prosperity of the country, will be brought before it, and perhaps definitely settled. Among these will be the all-engrossing subject of the tariff The two Houses, however,, are not so constituted, that either is likely to become a working body ; certainly noT such a working body as we could wjsh to take up the subject of our revenue laws, and carefully revising them, adapt them to the wants and requirements of the people, and the state of our manufacturing and producing inter est. We shall however, while we expect little in this respect from the present Congress, with a decided Locofoco majority in the Senate, be able in a few weeks to judge more clearly of the pros pects ahead. The message of the President and the reports of the several departments will bring the interests of the country directly to the atten tion of the. people's representatives, and indicate the policy of the administration in reference there to ; and we .can thereafter with more certainty cal culate the prospects of the future. We have no doubt in our mind, that the sentiments and recom mendations in the first annual message of Geu. Taylor, in reference to the various questions like ly to engage the attention of Congress, will be such as to command the hearty concurrence and support of the great body of the people, and from the peculiar constitution of the lower House at least, may exercise an important influence in de termining the complexion of that body. We must however anticipate nothing from the Locofoco majority in the Senate but constant efforts lo em barrass the administration, whateverits policy may be, and therefore it is that we hope for little of lasting benefit to the country from the approachiug session. We shall however have the advantage of a de velopment of the policy of the administration, and with the acknowledged patriotism and pure inten tions of Gqn. Taylor, we may safely go before the country, with the prospect that the principles avowed by him will be approved and sustained, notwithstanding the fierce assaults which the op position stand ready to make upon them, whatever they may be: We have, heretofore, as the Balti more Patriot well remarks, labored under the dis advantage that there were no declared measures or principles upon which the Whigs could make the opposition array themselves. In one section of the country it has been insisted that the admin istration was in favor of certain measures, whilst in other sections it has been held to be opposed to them. Then it was contended that it was pledged to do certain things and then again that it was pledged to nothing, and that nobody could be sure what it could do ! The disengenousness, the dishonesty and want of patriotism of such an opposition in any party, should have defeated it, and would have defeated it, had the friends of the administration only made the attempt. But un derrating the force that could be rallied on such a bald opposition, the Whigs, through supmeness and over confidence, allowed the Locofocos in sev eral of the States where elections have recently been held, to win a barren victory. But with the policy of the administration clearly and definitely declared, the opposition can be brought to the test of principle, whether in or out of Congress, and in such a contest they cannot but be defeated, as they have on all previous occa sions. Their opposition will be, as it has been, unscrupulous to the last degree, but where the broad questions of public policy can be brought home to the intelligence and sound judgment of the people, we have no fear that in spite of all this, the administration will be sustained and applaud ed. Gen. Taylor has the good of the country be fore him as his sole object, and all his measures will be recommended with the frankness of a man, and all his official acts marked by that decision and firmness which is so ennobling a trait in his character. Daily News. Interesting from Mexico. From the National Intelligencer, 7th. We understand that the War Department has received from Col. Washington, commanding in .New-Mexico, the interesting intelligence that he had concluded a Treaty of Peace with the formid able tribe of Navajoe Indians. Col. W. returned to Santa Fe on the 25lh of September from an expedition into the country of the Navajoes, dur ing which they entered into the treaty. Previous to concluding the treaty, however, the head Chief of the tribe, Narbona, was killed in a skirmish This Chief had been for thirty years the scourge of the inhabitants of New Mexico. The valleys in the Navajoe country are represnted as being exceedingly fertile, and the corn crops very abun dant. The tribe numbers from seven to ten thou sand souls, of whom between two and three thou sand are warriors, who are generally well mounted, and armed with guns or lances, and bows and ar rows. The expedition under Major S. Steen, of the first Dragoons, had also returned to Santa Fe from the. country of the Apaches. On the 19th July an affair had occurred, between the hostile Apaches and the troops at Sierra del Sacramento, which was highly creditable to our officers arid men. On the 16th August a small dragoon force, under this officer, defeated a large party of Apaches near the Copper Mines, on which occasion the Major was severely wounded; after which Lieut. Bryan, of the Topographical Engineers, succeeded to the command of the detachment. On the same day (16th August) Lieut. Burnside, ,of the Third Artillery had an affair with the Apa che Indians in the vicinity of Los Vaas, which resulted in their defeat, with much loss, only ten out of forty escaping. The Lieutenant was slight ly wounded. Capt, Papin, commanding at Los Vallas, with his company of volunteers, surprised a party of marauding Apaches on the night of the 8th Sept. near San Vagas, killing and wounding a number of them, the bodies of six Indians having been left upon the field. The noted chief Petrillo was killed and his wife taken prisoner. The batalion of six companies 3d Infantry, un der Brevet Maj. J. Van Horn, which marched for Sari Antonio, Texas, arrived at EI Paso on Sept. 8th, all well. Owing to the necessity of opening the road the march occupied 100 days. Early in October it was the intention of Brevet Lieut. Col. J E. Johnston, qf the Topographical Egitieers, and CaptV French, Assistant Quarter master, to return to San Antonio, and they were to be escorted by a company of infantry under Capt. King. Agricultural Experiment. A member of the Agricultual Society of Brest lately sowed some wheat, without preparatory ploughing or digging, and covered it with fresh straw, after having walked ever it to press the grain down. The product is said to have been superior in quantity and quality to wheat raised in the ordinary way from the same amount of seed, and the soil was of the worst kind. The same experiment with wheat and other grain has often 'been tried before, and with apparently similar re sults; but the result- has never proved sufficiently advantageous to induce, farmers to abandon the usmunsneu moue oi cultivation, Religiou--and no Mistake. .. The Christian Advocate Journal has a corres pondent who hits the nail right on the head, and does it at the first blow. See if he does n't 1 Paying DEBTS.-In speaking for a second time of our obligations to each other in paying our debts, and keeping our promises sacred, I will venture to say, and believe it to be strictly true, if there jivere no failures on the part of professors of religion such things, it would become so disreputable that non-professors would be much more careful, and it would gradually disappear. . ' I have many times had my attentiondirected to several failures in Wall-st. thetdetailslofiwhiclr were far from reputable, with the closing remark, they were very prominent members of Mr.- 's church. A few years since, a very respectable ahden; erable old gentleman was found presiding at ma ny of the charitable and other benevolent institu Hons at their anniversaries ever ready to lend a helping hand and subcription to forward temper ance, peace, missionary and other societies, inten ded to meliorate the present as well as the futuro condition of mankind; and who was envied by many for the talent he displayed, as well as dis position evinced for the good of his fellbw-men. A crash took place in Wall-st. and-never since have I seen him at any of those meetings. On inquiry, it was said that he was unable to meet his obligations, being short about $60,000. He is still to be seen occasionally in "the streets, looking as well as ever, enjoying a dignified retirement, with out apparently having the least idea of the opinion all honest men must have of. him. - I know a family, the members of which probably never refused to head the list of subscribers for any charitable object; but when called on for pay ment, would say their names were given to give a character to the object, and induce others to subscribe. Very few of their associates appeared to give more; not one really gave less. An insolvent debtor is now the most prominent trustee of one of the churches in this city; not dar ing to call the most worthless thing his own which his creditors can take. He is constantly lecturing his brethren for their slavish love of money, and their obligations to support religious institutions. I have not time ;o enumerate many other cases which now occur to me, and will only remark, that if professors of the above character only knew the difficulty they throw in the way of their pastors in their appeals to the unconverted, they would turn from their evil ways, and be no longer one of the most serious stumbling-blocks in tho way'of ungodly men.

Speaker of Congress. The Hon. James Thompson, of the Erie district is urged by some of the Locofoco papers for the. Speakership of the next Congress. We like the suggestion. Mr. Thompson is just the man to suit the Locofoco party in its present condition. As his name is recorded for and against the Wilmot proviso, he ought to be able to unite m his sup port the 'harmonious democracy" of the' .Nbrth and South; the East and. West.
