Johnston, for Governor, by a major ity of from 8 to 9,0D0. The Locofoco can didate for Canal Commissioner is also suc cessful by about the same majority. James Campbell, one of the Locofoco nom inees for Justice of the Supreme Court, is de feated, and Richard Coulter (Whig) chosen in his stead. The democrats will have a majority of a bout ten in the House, and the Whigs a ma jority of one in the Senate. "We confess we are disappointed by the character of the returns for Governor. We expected a much closer contest, and thought that Gov. Johnston would triumph. For the able manner in which he has upheld the Whijr cause and contended -for its well known principles, 'he' deserves the gratitude of all who prefer honesty to trickery, and States manship to Demagogism.

A FEW CALM WORDS TO THE WHIGS OF PENNSYLVANIA. The result of Tuesday's election will great ly surprise the honest Whigs of Pennsylva nia. All the indications of victory were with us. All the issues of the campaign were in our favor. We had a leader whose previous administration had been faultless. That lea der worked faithfully in the canvass was well received by the People and made a good impression upon the people. The true friends of Gov. Johnston were active, and all that men could honestly do was done to procure his election. In this they were sustained by many of the other party who were saiisfied with his stewardship and were opposed to a change. Why then was he defeated! This is an impoitant question, to which the attention of the Whig party may well be invited. Why, with such a leader, with 6iich issues, with such arguments, with such efforts and with such an organization, was Gov. John ston defeated ? The answer is plain. Gov. Johnston was overthrown in this contest, not by the efforts of the Locofoco party, but by the secret though effective treachery of pro fessed Whigs men, too, in the interest and favor of the present National Administration. This is the truth and we mean that the peo ple shall know it. The Pennsylvanian of October 15th, in an nouncing the result of the election, uses the following significant language : "Aided by a number of National Wliigs, who would not be whipped in, in this locality, who have won a victory, that we may wear as one of our most brilliant and most unfading honors." This exposes the game which was played. " National Whigs," as they are called, have aided the Locofbcos and defeated the great Whig party of this State. And who are these National Whigs V They arc men who wish to introduce a. new test of party fi delity to forget all old principles and to sac rifice all men who will not agree to surren der the freedom of speech at the tyrannical bidding of a neighbor. In 1818, the Whig National Convention nominated Zachery Taylor and Millard Fill more, as the standard bearers of the Whig party in that contest. The nomination of Gen. Taylor was effected after a severe strug gle. Wm. F. Johnston was a member of that, Convention. It teas at his suggestioi that the Pennsylvania delegation cast their votes for Millard Fillmore. In consequence of lullmore, and thereby made them the Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States, How does Mr. Fillmore requite these efforts We will tell the public. Mr. Fillmore, we t beleve, is not personally hostile 10 Gov. John-' ston. We believe he is too honest a man, utterly to forsake and seek to ruin the men ! and party to whom he owes his present place. But we do know that he retains in his Cabi- J net a man who has publicly, and within the limits of our own State, expressed an ear nest hope that Gov. Johnston would be de featcd. This is an undoubted fact, and is within the knowledge of many of the best citizens of Pennsylvania. Daniel "Webster is the ma who has thus deserted the Whig pakty of the State, and plotted to secure the defeat of its nominees. We say this with regret, but we know it to be true, and we wish the people of the State to understand, that through the hostility of men like Mr. Webster, the Whig party of Pennsylvania is now in a minority. Mr. Fill- more is, and was aware of this hostility. j How far, therefore, he is responsible for the result of these schemes, we leave a candid public to judge. Mr. Webster has had his agents and wire workers in different parts of the State. They were, generally, men of but little character, who could never have accomplished-their ob ject, had they not taken the precaution to conceal their bitter hatred under the garb of extreme friendship. They were hypocritical as well as treacherous. We will leave these men to their reflections, and to the sure and just punishment which certainly awaits them. We trust that Mr. Cooper and his numerous and trickery confederates will feel amply re warded if our defeat now should defeat the party throughout the Union in the Pres idential contest next year, and paralyze us in this State fora long time to come. The vote of Philadelphia, Schuylkill, North ampton and other counties where these as sassins resided, shows their fidelity to the men honored with the confidence of the Whig par ty of the State. In one ward in Harrisburg, where most of the traitors lived and have sym pathizers, fifteen Whig tickets were voted in which Gov. Johnston's name was erased and Mr. Bigler's substituted. In another ward and an adjoining township, the same course was pursued. And elsewhere in the State where the same influence reached, the same result followed. We, therefore, wish the Whigs of Penn iylvania to understand that this State has fal len into the hands of the Opposition, because the Natioual Administration and most of its special friends, determined that Gov. Johnston must be defeated and the Whig party sacrificd; that large numbers of Locofocos-j-there be injr nineteen in one ward of .IIarribbunr vo ted for Gov. Johnston: that- his vote was J more than overbalanced by defection in the Whig ranks; that this defection wus owing to the intrigues of certain members of the Cabinet and their assistants in this State ; that Gov Johnston, if the entire Whig party had been true, would have been elected by an overwhelming majority; and that Gov. Johnston was defeated by the most shameless and infamous treachery. We make these remarks because theocca- sion demands they should be made. While every friend of the State Administration will cherish in his heart of heartsthose trusty and honest Whiffs who were true as steel to their standard-bearer, every honest man will as heartily detest the ignoble and dastardly trai tors who were afraid of an open field and a fair fight, and who proved their courage by stabbing in the dark. All honor to Gov. John ston! He stands before the people, an honest man stricken down by men who owe their positions to his labors. Daily American. The RevoiEitioJi isi Mexico. The New Orleans Delta, a paper which professes to have been for a long time well informed as to the designs of the leaders of the insurrection in the Northern States of Mexico, says that the object of the movement' is to annex that part of Mexico to the United States. The Delta declares that this enter prise shall have the warm support of that pa per, as a means of enlarging the Southern or slave-holding portion of the Union. It also declares that this feeling is general in the South, and that the intelligence of the suc cess of the insurgents, will excite profound interest in the " South, where the necessity of counteracting the ambitious designs of the Northern portion of this Confederacy, by the acquisition of new territory, friendly to, and identical with, the South, has been felt as the only security against the final destruction and overthrow of our institutions." The Delta a few days ago announced, the formation in New Orleans of a " Lone Star Club," and published an extract from its con stitution, showing that its object was to " ex tend the area of freedom" by revolutionizing and annexing the territories of contigious na tions. It advises the formation of similar clubs throughout the Union. We have no doubt the advice will be generally followed, especially in the South. We have here the germs of another move ment, similar to that which commenced in the annexation of Texas and ended in the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law. After.all the ef forts made by Northern statesmen to concil iate the South and pacify the country, we are to launch again into another series of extra ordinary military measures for the acquisition of South Western territory. And this not only without any provocation on the part of the North, but at a time when the North has made and is making great concessions to pre serve the peace of the Union by gratifying the South. Mean ?Icn. Among the many kinds it takes to make a world, we regret that there is so large a share gf meaness. Though some are mean, there are some meaner ; and doubtless there must be a meanest of all. We would mention a mong the first class the man who was so stin gy, that when he wrote to Prest, Jackson for the pardon of his son in order to save ink, he would not dot his i's, or cross his t's, and wrote the direction in this manner, &ur jksn. But we should call that man meaner, who hired his boy to go to bed without any supper, fora cent, and when he got to sleep, went and stole it from him. But the meanest of all must be the class represented by Dow,. Jr., who says, "some men are so small that they would chase a mosquito through a five mile swamp, for their suet ; and were it possible would snatch the golden btars from the firm ament, and sell them for copper, the moon for old brass, and rather than pay sixpence at the gate of heaven, would go at night and pick the lock with a ten-penny nail." A Mountain in Motion. We find in our German papers, says the N. Y. Tribune, an accouut of a singular catras trophe, which we translate. Above the Dis trict of Magyarokarek, in the south-western portion of Transylvania, there are two moun tains, Venyikes and Gelesztas. The District lies on a slope of the two mountains, which are from 800 to 1000 feet high, opposite a kettle shaped hollow. On the 13th of August, the Gelesztas began to move, and, forced the Ven yikes, which is about four miles from Mag yarokarek, so near to that District that it is now scarcely twenty paces distant, and threat ens to destroy the whole village. The motion of the mountain continued from midnight on the 13th to noon on the 15th August, and during this time it occasioned great damage through a space of about one third of a mile in length and nearly a quar ter of a mile in breadth. The field beneath and around the mountain, which in this place were covered with a harvest of uncommon beauty, were preciptated into the depths, and instead of them huge rocks now rise against the sky. No one would know the place. No one kuows where was his own field the two parts of a ploughed field, which were torn asunder, are often found at the distance of two miles from each other, with a bottem less abyss between them. The population of the place, numbering about 380 souls, are en camped with their little property on a moun tain lying within the District, and expect the next calamity in a sUte of great depresion. Beneath the torn-up mountain, and even on the very spot, water gushes up on every side, and the- ground in the vicinity is so cracked that no living creature enn apapproach it.

We copy the follwing account from the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Since the ar ticle was written the Rescue, the companion of the Advance, has arrived in safety at New York. Too much credit cannot be awarded to Mr. Grinnell who defrayed the whole ex pense of the expedition, which although un successful has demonstrated almost to a cer tainity the fact that Sir John and his com panions are still alive, and that they will . in the end be rescued from this imprisonment. Sir John Fkanklin. This intrepid navi gator, if alive, will soon enter upon his seventh winter in the polar seas. The Advance, one of vessels fitted out from this port to rescue him and his gallant comrades from their perils, reached our harbor yesterday morning,, and now lies at the navy yard in good condition, having lost only her bulwarks and part oflipr' false keel, in her long and hazardous voyage. The Rescue, from which she parted in agale on the 13th of September, is expected soon. The expedition was unsuccessful in the hu mane and noble object for which it was set on foot, but the generous-hearted officers who went out in the Advance, still entertain hopes of the safety of the missing vessels, and trust that the benificent exertions still in pro gress for their safety may be crowned 'ith success. We have learned from them that there is abundant material, in food and fuel, in the region in which Sir John Franklin is supposed to be, for the sustenance of his par ty. It is found in the game which migrate to the Artie seas, and in the seal and other marine mammalia found there, the latter fur nishing both food and fuel. Although the expedition has not been suc cessful in the object for which it sailed, the effort is creditable to the humanity of the age, and should be continued till all hope is extin guished. To our fellow-citizen, Mr. Henry Grinnell, a large debt of gratitude is due for his noble and well planned endeavors. The two vessels, the Advance and Rescue, after beingrepared with great skill to resist the pressure of ice, set sail from this port, under, the command of Lieut. De Haven on the 23d of May, 1850, with orders to return to this port during this fall. They were well fitted and equipped, and after sailinir alonsr the Greenland coast, and up Barrow's Straits, reached the region of Artie discovery in the month of August, 1850. They found at Beechy Island, or its vicinity, traces of Sir John Frank lin, tor it was here that three of his men had been buried ; but nothing was ascertained to indicate the direction he took from that point in search of the north-west passage. An at tempt was made by Lieut. De Haven to reach the open sea, which is supposed to exist at the extreme north, but it was unsuccessful. The vessels of this expedition were within about seven hundred miles of the sunnosod iw 1 11.11111 position of the Enterprise and Investigator, i " llsn, John Jackson, William Brown, the two vessels which entered into tbe same Josiah Clarkson, Henry Sims, Charles seas on the opposite side of this Continent, 1 Hunter, Lewis Gales, Peter Woods, Lcw through the Straits between it and Asia.

The vessels then commeuced, what was wholly unexpec ted, a northern drift, and reached by 1st of October the high latitude of 75 deg. 23 min., the highest latitude ever attained in that me ridian. The drift is owing to the combined action of the wind and tide, which, in the 1st or uctoner, turned the vessels in a southern direction . inwhw, ti.;r.. traordinary ry period of nine months and until thiMr i.;.,! h,... 1 i- i T. V.-,7 m they lud floated a distance ot 1,070 miles. .vi....u uuu vu&b pjuiii,Muiib was subjected to occasional and powerful disrup tion. On the 8th of December and 13th of January the vessels were exposed to constant dangers, and if they had been larger, or less carefully guarded with double sides and hea vy braces, their destruction would have been inevitable. The disruption was accompanied with a noise, described by the officers as re sembling a locomotive whistle ; and a singu lar nnd constant pulsation of the ice, accom- ! panied with that noise, was constantly occur 1 ring. The drift was frequently at the rate 'often miles per hour, and occasionally the I vessels would be carried uear to bold and rocky ! promontories, from which there was much dan ger. Frequently, when the squadron was in peril, every knapsack was filled with food, with which to retreat upon the ice, in case of the destruction of the vessels. During the eighty-one days of thia hazardous time the sun did not rise, and there was a total darkness, except at midday, when for a few moments, 1 U UtlUUl LUUIU UU 11 Ul 111 UU LUWUIUO utc faint light that proceeded irom tne south. In February of this year they were blessed with a return of daylight which enabled their sick to take exercise upon the ice. It was then ascertained that they were ninety miles from land, and that the ice in which the vessels lay imbeded appeared to be stationary, p- tho irom astronomical ooservauons its uiuuuu was known.- On the 10th of June, by a se vere explosion of the ice.the vessels were lib erated, and they were once again sailing chee'rfully upon the waters. Sea-sickness, however so long had they been free of mo tion soon generally prevailed. They emer ged from their imprisonment in latitude (35 deg. 30 min., and immediately proceeded to the Greenland settlements for fresh provis ions, which were obtained to a limited extent. They again proceeded northward along the Greenland coast, leaving to the west the mas ses of floating ice, and penetrated again into the upper regions of Baffins Bay. Here a new and far more threatening difficulty be set them. They were locked up in the midst of huge icebergs, which shut them out com pletely from a view of the horison. Some of them were two hundred and fifty feet high, and in the light of the sun (it was now con stant day) the scene was spoken ofas extreme ly gorgeous. They had now reached the 10th. of August, and even with au open sea they could not have made Lancaster Sound before the ice would again form, and it was determined that the expedition should retrace its steps. They did so, and soon afterwards reached our port. The officers concur in stating that the win ter of those regions exceeds any cold within our conception; and they were astonished to find that the steam generated from their bod ies and from cooking became condensed into water on their bedding and froze it together so that it could not easily be separated. The extensive waste of waters between the coasts of Greenland and America become cemented together by ice, and all the region, including Hudson's Bay, Labrador, and the Straits of Belle Isle, becomes choked up, and but for the Gulf stream it would belt in Newfound land. Such is the region through which numer ous, expensive, and well-planed enterprises have been sent by various Governments, at different times within the last two centuries, for the purpose of navigating around the northern coast of America, into the Pacific Ocean ; and now two vessels, the Fnterprise and the Investigator, before spoken of are en deavoring to make the passage from the op posite direction, and in the hope of finding the veteran navigator, whose fate enlist so warmly the benevolent interest of all com mercial nations. The voyages of Ross, of Parry, ot Back, and fbrmor voyages of Frank lin, are deeply interresting, and there is now a commercial motive for prosecuting them which did not until lately prevail. The wha lers are now obliged to proceed northward, through the passage between Asia and Amer ica, for supplies of oil; within seven or eight hundred miles of the supposed locality of Sir John Franklin. This fact will stimulate the spirit of discovery on the Pacific side to an extent beyond what now exists. One of the remarkable facts attending the expeditions last made through Barrows's straits the British and the one in question is this, that they commenced wintering within fifteen miles of each other, a fact that was unknown until the arrival of the expedition in this port, where- tidings were obtained of the place of wintering and of the unexpected return of the British vessels. We have the materials on hand for a more extended notice of the expedition, but we omit it to-day, in order to make room for the deeply interrest ing letter of Lady Franklin, whose earnest efforts in the important duty which has devol ved upon her have done so much to enlist the sympathy of the civilized world in her behalf, apd in the behalf of her distinguished husband. It is highly creditable to the management of the expedition that although exposed to severe sickness and to vast perils, not a single man has been lost, and the vessels were but slight ly damaged prior to the gale in September.

Dri lleid, a traveler through the high land of Peru, is said to have found lately, in the desert of Alacame, the dried re mains of an assemblage of human beings, five or six hundred in number men, wo men and children, seated in a semicircle as -when alive, staring into the burning waste before them; they had not been buried; life had not departed before they thus sat around, but hope was gone; the Spanish invador was at hand, and no escape being left, they had come hither to die. They still sat immovable inthsj dreary desert; dried like mummies by tha effect of the hot arr, they still kept their poisition, sitting up as in council, while over that areopagus silence broods ever lastingly. Facts for the Ciiraons. Fcmulc Beauty. The ladies of Arabia stain their fineri and toes red, their eye-brows black, and their lips blue. In Persia, they paint a black streak around their eyes, and orna ment their faces -with various figures. The Japanese women gild their teeth, and those of the Indies paint them red. The row of teefh must be dyed black to bo beautiful in Guzurat. The Hottentot wo men paint the entire body in compart ments of red and. black. In Greenland, the women color their faces with b ue ami yellow, and they frequently tattoo their bodies by saturating threads in soot, in serting them -beneath the skin, and then drawing them through. Hindoo females when they wish to appear particularly lovelv, smear themselves with a mixture of saffron, turmeric and grease. In near ly all the islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans, the -women as well as the men, tattoo a great variety of figures on tho face, the lips, the tongue, and the whole body. In NewHolland they cut themselves with shells, and by keeping open tho wounds a long time, form deep scars in the flesh, which they deem highly orna mental. And another singular addition is made to their beauty by taking off, in infancy, the little ugre of the left hand, at the second joint. In ancient Persia, an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown: but the Sumatran mother carefully flattened the nose of her daugh ter. Among some of the savage tribes of Oregon, and also in Sumatra and Arra can, continued pressure is applied to the skull iu order to flatten it, and thu3 give it a new beauty. The modren Persians have a strong aversion to red hair; The Turks on tho contrary, are warm admirers of it. In China, small round eyes are liked: and the girls are continually plucking their eye-brows that they may be thiu audlonr. But the great beauty of a Chinese lady is in her feet, which, in childhood, are so compressed by bandages as effectually to prevent ain further increase in size. The four smaller toes are turned underthc foot to the sole of which they fimly adhere ; and the poor girl not only endures much pain, but becomes a criple for lift. An other mark of beautv consists iu finger nails so long that castings of bamboo are necessary to preserve them from injury. An African beauty must have small cye, thick lips, a large flat nose, and a skin beautifully black. In New Guinea, the nose is perforated, and a large piece of wood or bone inserted. On the north west coast of America, an incision more than two inches in length is made in the lower lip, and then filled with, a wooden plug.
