On the night of the meeting of the re urn judges, there was something of an tiort made by the Locos, to get up a sup wr, dt get those who supported the work• tie;men's ticket fairly into it, they would lien pour out their small beer, and drink tiiasts to that remarkable honest man, D. R. Porter; and thus they hoped to give a cincture of Loco Focoism to their ticket. Just what we always said they intended. But the b•cit did not take—they hooked no one into their meshes. Their supper fur. ned out a regular Potter concern, from beginning to end; • occasionally they would toast the honest workingmen, for the purpose we suppose of making them selves appear particularly partial to the working classes. The only two which are offered as general commendations to the working interests, are both presented by lawyers. The Fox told the Crow that she was a beautiful singer, until she drop ped her cheese, when lie took it up and calmly walked off. How very kind of these worthy lawyeis to feel so fur the interest of the mechanic and laborer.— There is one toast which we wish to give entire: "General A. P. Wilson,— Nis friend-1 ship to the poor man entitle him to the; confidence of the worlcingmcn ; and they will at no distant day speak their feelings in trumpet tongued admiration of his con duct. It will be the second sober thought." There, workingmen, don't you under• , stand that? We do. It is explained in few words, and if we were to write out : the toast in our own language, we should make it thus ;—General Wilson would like to have the same division kept up in the ranks of his opponents, and he re spectfully requests to be taken up for Congress next fall. Don't you see? as the blind man said. tJe are very much disposed to think that many of their toasts were thrown away. The plane that had been made did not all terminate exactly according to cceradt. The friends of ii r .Pct:ter. exult much about the popularity of their candidate. His popularity consists in running nearly 10,000 less votes than Van Buren ran last The truth is, Porter's majority was caused 14 the supineness of our friends. They had nothing, as they thought, to contend fur. They had one year before elected a man to carry out certain meas ures; and he had literally laughed at their wishes, as well as their calamities ; and they stayed at home. Such has been the case throughout the Union. There is also much apparent exultation about Porter's majority at home—in this county. The " Watchman" claims again of "eight hundred and filo • six." If the editor of that print will look at the returns of last year, he will had that he is very much mistaken ; and if he refers to the returns of 'BB, ha will find that Ratter's majority was then only 926, with the thousand illegal voters they say voted in this county. Now we have upwards of 700, notwithstanding the officers of the canal belong to Porter, and they, to save his character, and prove the importations of '3B, imported scores of bundle bays, and sat them ten days on the towing path to, swell Porter's vote in this county. Where is the eight hundred gain? will you have the goodness to tell us? We feel confi dent that any one who dislikes the tricks of lawyers so much, must dislike trickery in others. "The Lawyers) Ticket' Our neighbor of the Watchman speaks in a very disrespectful manner of what he calla the ' , Lawyers' ticket." His read ers, as well as ours, may know how to appreciate his sentiments, when we tell them that he is himself , a gentleman of that profession, and consequently speaks knowingly as to their character fur how, esty. It may perhaps seem that he intends to reform the douses which have crept in among his brethren. We oiler him one piece of advice, gratis.

From the U. States Gazette, FROM CANTON. We have been favored with the follow ing interesting extract of a letter from a resident American merchant at Canton. Ills views as to the early settlement of the existing difficulties there will, of course, not be concurred in by our readers, and by those interested in the trade. MACAO, May 21, 1841. My lust was per the Lowell, 16th inst., since when hostilities have recommenced, and as you see from the heading, we are all again at Macao, too happy to have escaped with our lives. Trade had been going on quietly enough till within a few days before the outbreak, when it became evident, from various infringements on the part of the Chinese of the truce, that there was to be another battle. large mas ses of soldiers from the interior being col lected in and about the city, to the num ber, it was said of 50,000; and Captain Elliott's circular, issued on the 21st, re commentlint, all foreigners to leave Can. ton immed iately, left no doubt about it, and we all hurried offinstantly, so sudden ly, indeed, that several of my trunks, full of clothes, dm, were left behind, and have since been taken off by the Chinese mob, i that broke into the factories immediately lon our departure. and rifled every thing they could lay hands on. I his, however, was my only loss on the occasion, as my ,accounts and all valuable papers are for tunately preserved. Many others have been serious losers by ;.he suddenness with which they were obl;ged to escape. to say nothing of the immense amount of property and goods in the factories and tongs, nuch of which will doubtless be.l lost to. the owners, until they can compel the Chinese government to idetnnify them. You will see all the particulars in the newspapers of course, and I need not therefore revert to them. Had we re mained a single hour longer in the place, there is no telling what might have been the consequence, as the moment the guard of marines was withdrawn, the work of destruction commenced. This is the sec ond narrow escape I have had from Can ton, and I assure you 1 have had quite enough of it. A few hours after the for eigners were out the attack commenced, and cannonading and burning were the order of the day. Canton is nut yet de stroyed,but millitary possession was taken of the heights and suburbs by the British 'lforces on the 25th and 261 h, anil they cer tainly would have boinbardeded and shell. ed the place, had not the Chinese authors ities offered to ransom it at eight millions of dollars, payable in eight successive days. Although we have nothing official on the subject, such is believed to be the result of the negociation of the the last few days. Many thousand Chinese have been killed, and there is some loss on the'! British side, but not of much consequence. I Part of the suburbs have been burnt, and the whole city was near sharing the same fate. We have a report to day that the first instalment of one million has been paid, and Canton will thus escape de struction. Thus the Chinese have drawn upon themselves at last, signal punish ment for their breach ot good faith. They have had a second lesson not easily to be easily forgotten. The English have act led throughout with much furbearance and moderation, but the Emperor's orders were positive, that no terms should be made, and it 'vas supposed that with their nu merical superiority, they would have made the better resistance, but it is now clear that their numbers avail but little when opposed to European skill and courage. The British steamers and ships got up very near the city, and fired away with destructive elrect—and the Chinese must be convinced that they cannot stand al though in some places they made a des• perate resistance. Many of the factories are destroyed, , and if ever the place is occupied again as' a seat of trade, they will have to erect new ones. The impression is now gaining ground that Hong Kong will be the place of business, and that it will be built up during the summer. Still lam inclined to think Canton will retain a share of the trade, and should not be much surprised it we were back there"'ere long, car• vying on trade as usual. 'rite latest ac count we have is that the forces 'ntend proceeding up the river to Foshan, a city of large size, about twenty miles above Canton, and there make similar demon. strations, after which they will probably proceed along the coast, attacking the va rious cities, and finally bring up at Pekin. All this is only in case matters are not previously settled here, of which I now think there is a better prospect than at any former period, and it is not improbable we may soon have the trade open again, al though in the meantime a sufficient quan tity of tea has one forward both to Eng 'land and America, and before that is ex- !misted. I have little doubt that trade Pennsylvania Election. COUNTIES. BANKS.

It is superior to Sarsa parilla, whether as a sudorific or alterna tive. and stands infinitely before all the preparations and combinations of Mercu• ry. Its purgative properties are alcue of inc;.lculable value, for these pills may , be taken daily for any period, and instead of weakening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking away the cause of the weakness. They have none of the miserable effects of that deadly specific, Mercury. The teeth are not injured— the bones and limbs are not paralysed— no; but instead of these distressing sytnp toms, new life and consequent animation rre evident in every movement of the body ' Brandretles Pills are indeed a univer- Sal remedy; because they dense and pu rify the blood. Five years this medicine has been before the public in the U. States wherever it has been introduced it has su perseeded all other remedies.
