shouts of Demo(
racy are ringing in our ears, it will i
our opinion be far unn•e wise in Whi l
and Americans to turn their attention t
the future, rather than waste time i
angry di#beussiuns upon the disastrous do
feat which want of union has • brought
Upon both organizations. But while we
desire to avoid all irritating remarks, we
may properly point to the official returns
of this einpity, which we publish to-day,
as a complete vindication of the course
of the whirs. The majority which
they aided to give Th roues Nicholson,
the union candidate for Canal Commiss
ioner, shows that they were aetnated by
no factious spirit. 'That there was no
union on other nominations, was no fault
of tit ;Fs. lint the past cannot be re
called If the lesson is not lost the de
feat,of 1855 may be the precursor of vie
tory in 1856.
CANAIA COMMISSIONER
We have not the official returns from
a sufficient number of counties yet to
make up a reliable table of. the vote for
Canal Commissioner. It' is evident.
however, that Plainer is not elected by
the immense majority which the tele
graph first reported. In our own coun
ty, for instance, where it was thoulit
until the officeal returns were received
that Plumer had a majority of over 100,
the actual result is a majority for Ni
cholson of 261. The nomination of
Nicholson was unfortunately agreed upon
at too late a day to secure that effective
union of the opponents of the National
Administration which was essential to
success, and in sonic parts of the State
was openly repudiated. In a spirit of
what we must consider pure factiousness,
the Whigs of Lancaster county cast about
2000 votes for Joseph IlenderSon, the
forme. Whig candidate, while in Alleghe
ny cow a still greater number were
thrown •ay by hot-head anti slavery
men for l'assmore Williamson. The
complete returns will probably show a
decided majority in the State against the
National Administration.
POLITICAL CIIAIVGES.
The'last State elections have brou! , ht
about sonic "changes of a striking charac
ter. Peary county, for instance, seems
to have bid a final farewell to the demo
cratic family, having given for , the last.
two years anti-democratic majority of
several hundreds. Adams county, on
the other hand, seems to be undergoing
a change of position to the other side—
the 'democrats having etulried, it at the
recent election by 105 majorities. The
old Whig counties of Lancaster and Al
legheny, also, which used to roll up their
majorities of thousands, are now all top,
sy-turvy. Nicholson's majority in Lan
caster is only 205 (!) and the whole
Whig county is defeated,: while Alleghe
ny county has given-Plumer a majority
of about 900 and elected the entire demo
cratic ticket.

Great Republican Victory.
The Ohio election instead of having
gone democratic, as at first reported, has
resulted in an overwhelming victory for
the Republican party. That party have
swept the field, electing not only their,
Governor, but three-fourths of the Leg
islature, and the entire State ticket, in
cluding a Lieutenant Governor, Auditor,
Treasurer, Attorney Genera', two Judi" s
of the Supreme Court, and a Conunis
sioner of Public Works. Last year the
same party elected one judge of the Su
preme Court, makim , three in all thus
tar, which, if the Bench consists of five
judges, gives them a majority of the
Court.; They also elected last year a
Commissioner of Public Works, :Old trits
have two members, in all probabillty a
majority. In fact, the entire State ad
ministration of Ohio is in their hands.
The majority for their State ticket is said
to average more than forty thousand.
Chase, the Republican candidate for llovi
error, who runs worselhan the rest, of
the ticket, will, according to the Cinci
natti (.gazette. have over twenty thousand
majewity, and his vote will exceed that

CALIFORNIA ELECTION.
Know Nothing Triumph
By the steamer Northern Light, which
arrived at New York, on Saturday, we
have the result of the election in Califor
nia. The American party has carried
the State. Gov. Bigler lips been defea
ted, and Johnson elected by a majority
of over -WOO. The LeHslature is also
American. The Senate standsl7 Know
Nothings to 1.6 Democrats. The House
5-1 Know nothings and 26 Democrats.—
This will secure the Americans a U. S.
Senator in place of Mr. Givin.
INDIANA ELECTION
The returns from Indiana indicate the
triumph of the democrats by a majority
of frOm 10,000 to 15,000. It is said
they have carried every county.yet heard

'ME GRAIN MARKET
Nearly 50,000 bbls. of Flour and 200,-
000 bushels of wheat changed hands in
one day last week in New York. The
greater portion of it was bought 1y one
broker, but on whose account .he made
the purchase was a-mystery. The bread
stuffs speculators were thrown into a
frenzy of excitement and prices rapidly
advanced—flour 25 cents a bushel and
wheat from two to five cents. The ad
vanced prices did not stand long, holm . -
er. The N. Y. „Express of Thursday,
says, "a reaction'ihas followed the ex
citement in the Grain market. To sell
wheat in any considerable quantities,
holders have to concede ten cents a bush
el. Corn is rather better, owing to the
light supplies on hand. Flour is from
one to two shillings lower, and the
chases for expo 4, have ceased .for the
present.".

THE LEGISLATURE.
The Democrats will have full sway in
the next Legislature. A Democratic
U. S. Senator will therefore of course be
elected, and as the Democrats generally
took ground against the new liquor law,
the probability is that One of their first
stops will be to repeal that law.
Tho' returns show that the Senate will
contain 19 Democrats to 14 Opposition.
The Ilouse it is supposed will contain
!Dearly 70 Democrats to 30 opposition.

EFFECI'S OF STATE AND Cut NT FAins.—When the first State Fair was
held in Ohio, about six years ago, there
was scarcely one store in the State for
the sale of agricultural implements.
Now, nearly every county town not only
boasts of such a convenience, but the
farmers will buy none but the latest inn
prnvments.
THE AVHEELEH SLAVE CASE.
Philadelphia Oct. 12th.--Judge Kane deliv
ered an opinion this morning, adverim to the
reception of the petition of Jame Johnson, to
quash the writ of habeas corpus in the case
of Passmore Williamson, pronouncing her to
have no status in the Court, and the matter
being entirely without its jurisdiction.
The opinion of the court is very elaborate,
reviewing the whole case and re-affirming the
former opinion. 1t is asserted that the law of
notions guarantied the right of transit of slaves
and every other species of property, through
territory where slavery was not recognized.—
If the contrary principle was sanctioned, the
time might come when the cotton of Louisiana,
the rice of Carolina, and the rum of New En
gland would be restricted from transportation
without the bonds of the States producing
them. Ile maintained that the Federal con
stitution recognized slaves as property, and
up to 1830 it existed in the thirteen original
States. The said Williamson's duty, then as
now, was to produce Jane Johnson and her
children. It' the petitioner were led to abide
the action of the court. she would have the
right to be heard; but, being without its juris
diction, the records of the court cannot be
opened for a stranger.
On the conclusion of the reading orate o
pinion of the court, John Cadwalnder, a mem
' her of the bar, not engaged in the case, in or
der to remove a false impression from the
public mind, said that from his recollection of
the circumstances attending the commitment
of Passmore Williamson, for contempt, the
proposition was made to amend the return to
the writ, when Judge Kane replied : "I pre
fer to receive it when the record has been
completed. No such motion was subsequent.
ly made, and the public impression that per
mission to amend was refused is not warran
ted by the facts."
. Judge Kane replied that the recollection of
Mr. C. was correct. lie had been prepared
to receive a supplementary return front the
counsel, but none had been offered.
Mr. Cadwalader suggested that an addition
-be made to the opinion of the court, embracing
the remarks of a member of the bar not engag
ed in the case, and the reply of the Judge. Ile
was induced to make the suggestion by the
best feelings towards a worthy but mistaken
man, hoping that it • might lead to the adop
tion of a course that will end in his libera
tion.
'The Judge consented to the proposition of
Mr. Cadwalader to embody his remarks and
the answer of the court to them, so as to com
plete the record.
John M. Read, counsel for the petitioner,
said that he had listened with attention to the
opinion of the court, but it had failed to con
vince him that the petitioner and her children
were not free- the moment they touched Penn
sylvania soil.

FIRST SNOW.—The first snow of the
season occurred on Saturday morning last.—
We see it stated that there was a smart fall of
snow at St. Louis on . the sth, and on Friday
last snow fell to the depth of several inches in
various parts of New York.
Ile We call the attention of our rea
ders to the advertisement of the " Seamens'
Saving Fund Society" of Philadelphia, which
receives deposits not only from Seamen, but
from all classes of the community, and al
lows five per cent interest, 'at the same time
requiring no previous notice, all sums being
paid en demand. The high commercial stand
ing of the majority, and the legal and business
character of the minority of the managers,
presents in an unusual degree, a board of pru
dence, wisdom and honesty, to manage justly
and onrefully, the trusts reposed in them.
To fariners,merchants and others who trade
or have business in Philadelphia, instead of
' keeping money idle iu bank, we would recorm 7
mend them after inquiring into the character
of the Board of Managers to deposit, their
money in this institution and gain the interest.
The "Seamen's" is, we learti;not a stock com
pany, where the earnings aro annually divided
among the stockholders, but the surplus after
ping the moron of the office, is • invested
in the best securities of city and State as a
permanent fund for the ultimate safety of de
positors, and the depositor's money is not
liable to the precarious risks of those who
deposit in Insurance offices under the mistaken
notion that they are Saving Funds,

OUTRAGES IN KANNAS.—The election in
lamas on the Ist instant, in which the free
State men refused to participate,..was charac
terized by some outrageous proceedings at
Leavenworth. According to a letter, Mr.
James Furnam, a respectable citizen, was re
quested to vote, which he declined to do. A
mob of Missourians, it is alleged, then gath
ered around him and threatened to lynch' him.
The letter then adds:
- One of the mob then seized hold of hint

turned round and knocked his assailant down,
and tied. They gave chase but could not
overtake him. One of the desperadoes shot
at him with a rifle. The All pierced his hat

went through the clapboards and killed a
child which was playing en the floor. The
mother ran out shrieking 'murder!' help V
Ilie t Lieighbors came to her assistance. The
news spread. The free State men armed
themselves.
In the meantime another citizen bad been
insulted in the street, knocked down and
stabbed. This was young Thomas Neuman.
Ile died this morning. The marauders began
to be alarmed at their own acts. About a
hundred free State men, well armed, formed
in a body and marched towards the hotel, but
the Missourians had decamped.
