The Philadelphia North American has
the following article on the result of the
Pennsylvania IJlection, which we believe
expresses the views and convictions gen
erally .entertained by our friends of this
State:
THE STATE ELECTION.
The result of the election in this State,
on Tuesday, though very different from
. . . . , 1 . 1
1
i what we could have wished, has neither
! surprised nor alarmed us, nor, so far as
j our observation extends, has it in any
j degree disheartened our party. To friends
at a distance who have sought our opin
j ions, we have invariably said that, while
J the vote of Pennsylvania was certain for
Scott, there was great danger that we
I might be defeated in the October election
1 it"
j and that by a very considerable majori
ty. Our reason for tins bcliet was derived
i from the experience and observation of
many years, which taught us the extreme
: difficulty, nay, the almost certain impos
(sibility, of inducing the Whigs to make a
: full turn out of their numbers, unless up
on some extraordinary emergency. The
' Loco-Focos and they deserve all praise

cers to be chosen, they throng to the polls
on election day. In sunshine and in storm,
there they arc; and they make it a mat-
ter of conscience never to neglect this du-
ty. Even in localities where they are in
hopeless minorities, they are always found
at their posts; and so of places wheretheir
. , ,f
mit their exertions. On the other hand,
too many by far too many Whigs re
gard voting as a labor, which they are
alway disposed to avoid unless some spe
cial end is to be accomplished. Unless
there happens to be some verT exciting
controvcrs', they cannot be induced to '
take any practical part in its settlement.
Where "they are too few to make success-;
ful resistance, they surrender without a i
struggle; and where their triumph is!
placed ueyond conjecture, they are con-:

Xow, it so happened that neither of the
State officers voted for on Tuesday was :
considered by this class as of any great
Jrpi n , n . i ..
importance. The Canal (Jomnnssioncr,it
was felt, being in a minorty in the Board,
could exercise no control over its action;
and it was, therefore, not held worth while
to make any special effort to elect Iloff-
man: and as to the Judge, as it was hard-
i.i j i i-,- i i
ly to be supposed his political principles
could influence his judicial conduct, there
was no urgent necessity to defeat Wood-
ward. So urgued most absurdly and
"iiaciousiy, it is true, out still so arguea
these stay-at-home u hi 2; and the re-
sultwas thatthousauds 0f them never went

the strong Whirr Counties the local tickets

not trouble themselves to vote, because
they could see no pressing occasion for
doing so. In consequence of this feeling
of indifference, the Whig vote of Tuesday
fell very far below its usnal amount, es-

after it started, a car coupling broke while
on a pile bridge near the weirs, and be
fore the accident could be repaired, an-
other extra train from the steamer Dover
ran into it, and a most heart rendinir
scene ensued.
-Among 'those reported to be killed are
the following: JolmH. Smith, of Dover,
Clerk of Strafford County Court; Mr
Iloberts and child, of Holderness; Mr.
McDuffee, of Acton, and Mr. Edgarly, of

Among those dangeroustly injured were

The Homicide case at Lumberville,
Rorert Lee, the young man shot by
a party of boatmen at Lumberville, on
eveniug of the 7th inst., died on the morn
ing of the 13th. The same day a coro
ner's inquest was held upon his body, and
a post mortem examination was made bv
Drs. Foulke and Longshore. Thirty-two
shot had entered the body of the deceased,
two of which had passed through one kid
ney and one through the right lobe of thf
liver.
By the testimony before the inquest, it
appeared that the deceased was assisting
to lock through some boats at the Lumber
ville lock, on the evening of the 7th inst..
and some misundestauding took place be
tween some boatmen and a person having
charge of the lock. The boatmen bein
exasperated commenced an attack upon
. those having charge of the lock, threats
?'ere made and blows struck by some of the
boatmen. J. Black the lock-tender, who
t wag ajjSent wi,cn the difficulty commenced,
' made his appearance among them and de-
gired the boatmen to return to their boat?.
that he might prepare the lock and pa.s
their boats through. Instead of doing so,
they renewed their hostile demonstrations.
