THE ELECTIONS.
000 000
MASSACHUSETTS
Hu come up to the work manfully. Mr. Clay
has about 14,600 majority over Mr. Polk. Mr
Birney, the Abolition candidate, received about
11,000 votes. Not a single Locofoco member of
Congress nor Locofoco Senator is elected in the
Old Bay State.
MAINE
Has gone for Polk—majority not known.
VERMONT
lien gone for the Whig Electoral Ticket, by an
increased majority,
DELAWARE
Hold. to the true faith. The Clay electoral tick
et has carried—majority not ascertained.
ILLINOIS
Gave her Electors to Mr. Polk by a large majori
ty—probably 8,000.
KENTUCKY
Knows Henry Clay. and ha. given him a large
majority. Vote not known.
GEORGIA
Has declared in favor of James K. Polk and
FREE TRADE by a small majority.
MICHIGAN
Has gone for Polk by several thousand.
LOUISIANA
The gross frauds which have been perpetrated,
probably gives the State to Mr. Polk and Teas!
INDIANA
Is claimed by the Locofocos. We have not re
ceived returns sufficient to enable us to say whether
their claim is well founded.
TENNESSEE.
The Locos say the land of ' , Rockeries" has gone
for Jemmy O'Polk and George M'Dollas, " the
men that rule the Yankees and give the offices till
the Irishmen." The Whigs also claim Tennessee;
and the partial returns which we have, indicate a
close vote.
Setting on Elections.
Upon the passage of the Consolidated Act regu
lating elections, we had hoped the end of this
reprehensible vice had been reached. The 115th
section of that law exacts that "if any per
son or persons shall make any bet or wager upon
the result of any election within this common
wealth, or shall offer to make any such bet or ?ea
ger," In any way, "upon conviction thereof, he or
they .tall forfeitiand pay three times the amount
so bet or offered to be bet." All good citizens who
have the virtue and prosperity of the country at
heart, must deplore the fact that the above section
and others enacted to carry it into effect, sleep upon
our statute-book as a dead letter. • This most repro
hanaible species of gambling—the handmaid of',
unmans', esona and count:rm., was never
practiced with more boldness than during the last
month or two. Our exchanges are teeming with
the evidences of the prevalence of this demorizing
infraction of the law. It is said that one individual
in the city of Philadelphia has lost the enormous
sum of $70,000. All over the State, (our own be_
ough and county not excepted) bets have been
made to an alarming extent by all classes of persons
from the purse-proud demagogue, who can stake
his thousands, down to the humble and poverty
stricken loafer who puts up hie much needed shil
lings. Members of all pnrties have engaged in it,
and even some of the virutous and moral men who
denounced Mr. Clay as being a "gambler" have
been eager to offer and accept bets. We deplore
this not as a partizan, but because it taints the puri
ty of the ballot-box, aims a deadly blow at our best
interests, and undermines our republican institu
tions, by making our elections a mere matter of
speculation in dollars and cents, throwing every
thing at the mercy of a gang of gamblers who care
nothing for the country, and resort to every species
of fraud and swindling an order to win their Dime
and pocket the money.
The law makes it the duty of every judge, sheriff,
mayor, alderman, justice of the peace, constable,
and overseer or guardian of the poor, knowing of
the offences, to commence proceedings against the
offenders; and it is the duty of grand jurors to
make presentments of such offences when within
their knowledge.
If the officers of the law, whose duly it is, under ,
the obligations of 114 oaths, to prosecute the guil
ty, are disposed to Prnk at the evil now, as it is so
wide-spread, we hope they will hereafter, when an
election approaches, notify all persons that the pen
alties of the law will be enforced against all who
have the hardihood to transgress—and let them
then bring all offenders to justice. No private citi
zen, however much he may deplore the evil, need
be expected to incur the odium of prosecuting; but
we trust that overseers of the poor will hereafter
realize something out of bets on elections, if persist
ed in, for the support of paupers. The penalties
are to be recovered for the use of the poor.

OYER AND TERMINER.
We have been favored with the following report
of the trial of Samuel Thompson.
Commonwealth vo Samuel Thompson.—This
case occupied the Court from Thursday morning
until Saturday evening. The defendant, a boy
sixteen years of age, was indicted for the murder of
Hiram Gilbert, and considerable interest was mani
fested during the progress of the trial.
Conned for the Commonwealth—Devi], BLAIR
and E. V. EMHART, Esqrs.—Counsel for the
prisoner—l. Ganaaa MILES and WILLIAM Don-
sus, Esquire.
The facts of the cue were as follows: On the
22d of August last, Samuel Thompson was walk
ing down a road, in Dublin township, leading from
Clarke's Ferry to the Burnt Cabins. He had been
at the blacksmith's shop on an errand, and, at the
time of this unfortunate occurrence, was on his
way home. Hiram Gilbert was cutting clover in a
field of James Neely. Robert Boyles, the only
witness of the affray, testified that he saw Gilbert
jump off the fence into the road, and walking up
hastily to Thompson, he caught him by the breast.
They both commenced kicking at each other; but
after a few momenta, they separated; Gilbert then
stooped down and picked up a slender stick, with
which he struck Thompson a slight blow; they
then both stooped to the ground and when they
arose, from their gestures, he supposed that they
were shaking their fists:, or else throwing stones;
he could not tell which ; he noticed Gilbert wiping
his cheek twice with his hand, and then looking at
it. The witness was passing down a lane, at right
angles to the road and the bushes along the fences
obstructed his view. When he entered the „ big
road" whilst turning towards his shop he looked
lover his shoulder and saw Samuel Thompson stan
ding in the road, but a brush heap prevented him
from seeing Gilbert; he thought they were only
playing, and he proceeded towards his shop with
out taking any further notice of the parties.
About 12 o'clock, John Devinney and James
Neely found the body of Hiram Gilbert lying on
hie back, in the road, with his feet towards the
fence, and a short distance from it. The news of
his death soon spread amongst the neighbors, and,
a jury of inquest being summoned, Samuel Thomp
son was arrested and brought before theM. The
counsel for the Commonwealth offered to prove
admissions made by Thompson before the jury;
but the court rejected the evidence as It appeared
that a young man who assisted in arresting him,
hail told Thompson, that he had „ better tell all
about it.''—See 2nd Starkie on Er. 27. The jury
examined Thompson's person, but did not see any
positive marks of violence upon it. They also ex
amined the body of thedeceased, and found several
wounds :—one on the left cheek, into the bone,
and another on the breast; neither of them howev
er were dangerous. There were tw o other wounds
on each side of his neck, at the base of tee skull,
and it appeared that his neck was dislocated. Dr.
Shade, who attended a post mortent examination
of the body, after it had been buried seven days,
testified with much clearness and intelligence in
regard to the wounds on his person. He said that
the wounds at the base of the skull appeared to
have been produced by some blunt weapon, but he
was of tire opinion that they were not the direct
cause o f his death. He thought that he had ro
cieved a Nov on the back part of the head, with a
stick or stone, yvhich had stunned him, and relaxed
his nerves, and v4:ilst in this state he had fallen
backwards and dieter, ated his neck. It was gener
ally supposed that the dxeased was climbing over
the fence and by some ac.ciclent fell back, and was
instantly killed. There wa.s a steno, weighing
about six pounds, found neat• the place where
Thompson stood ; it had on it the impressions of a
bloody thumb and three fingers; the stone was
fitted into Gilberts hand (he was left-handed) and
the marks corresponded with it, and from rlr factof
his wiping his left cheek with this hand, it is plain
that the stone ►tad been used by him.
It was proven, en the part of the defence, tbst
Gilbert was twenty yeti's of age, of largo growth,
and about one third larger than Thompson; that
he was of a blustering, quarrelsome disposition;
very cowardly and fond of domineering over boys.
It was also shown that he entertained malice to
' wards Thompson , that lie had repeatedly tbreaten-
ed to beat him,—club him and stone him ; and ono
witness stated that he heard Gilbert tell Thompson,
only a week or two before his death, that Ile would
kill him the first time he had an opportunity.
The witnesses all gave the prisoner on unexcep
tionable character. His schoolmates and neighbors,
who hod known hint since his infancy testified that
he was a quiet, good natured, inoffensive boy,—that
they had never seen or heard any thing against his
I character.
The evidence on both sides closed on Friday
evening, and on Saturday morning, (Mr. Everhart
declining to address the jury,)
William Dorris, Esq., opened for the prisoner.
After going over the particulars of the scuttle and
suggesting several ways in which the death of Hi
ram Gilbert might have been caused, he insisted
tat all the facts of the case were only sufficient to
Caine a mere suspicion that Samuel Thompson kill- I
led him, and that the jury were bound to acquit
him. Cited M'Nally's evidence, page 398.
Ho then argued the case, taking it for granted
that Samuel Thompson did kill the deceased, and
contended that before the jury could convict him
they must believe that he did it with the fall in
tention of taking his life. Cited Law Reporter,
vol. VI, page 38, where this principle is laid down;
• If in a sudden quarrel, the party who forced it
upon the other he unintentionably killed,the day
cr stands excused, for as to him the quarrel is not
an unlawful one."
He lastly contended that if Samuel Thompson
did even intentionally kill Hirom Gilbert, it was
purely an act of self-defence justifiable by law.

THE LAW IN THIS COUNTILYI
Mr. Miles then followed in his usual able and
forcible manner, building a strong argument upon
the evidence, and citing many authoritiaa to sustain
his position
Mr. Blair for the Commonwealth, referred to
Blackstone's Commentaries. 4111 vol. pages 04
and 5.—" To excuse homicide on the plea of self
defence, it must appear that the slayer had no other
possible (or at least, probable) means of escaping
from his assistant."
aThe person who kills another in his own de
fence, should have retreated as far as he convenient-
ly or safely can to avoid the violence of the assault
before he turns upon his assailant."
Russell on Crimes, vol. 1, page 455.—"1f a
large atone be thrown at ens with a deliberate in
tent, though not to kill him, and by accident it kill
him, or any other, thin is murder."
Same Look, page 486, in notes.—" The defen
dant must prove to the satisfaction of the Jury that
no means of saving his life, or his person from great
bodily harm, which woo apparently intended by the
deceased against h un, except killing his adversary,
were in his power, or he to guilty of manslaughter."

Alter commenting, at length upon the evidence,
and applying the above principles of law to the
facts of the case, Mr. Blair contended let. That
Hiram Gilbert came to his death on the 2211 of '
August last, in a sudden and violent manner, was
admitted on both sides. 2d. That his death resul
ted from the conflict with Samuel Thompson, was
beyond all doubt. 3d. From the character of the
parties as given in evidence; from the character of
the combat as described by the witness who saw it;
from the appearance of the bodies of the combat
ants when examined after it had ended, it could not
reasonably be doubted but that Samuel Thompson
had caused the death of Gilbert; and 4th. The on
ly point in doubt was, did he kill him in self-defence.
And on this point the counsel argued from the evi
dence, Ist. That the assault woo not so fierce or
danger so imminent, as to warrant the taking of
the life of the assailant at once; and 2d. That
Thompson did not retreat or attempt to retreat,
when he could have done so, and thereby preserved
his own life, and spared the life of Gilbert.
Mr. Blair concluded by appealing to the Jury to
guard against that mock humanity which seemed
growing into fashion,—that false charity for human
life which seemed in some cases to influence Jurors
and Ju*ld the higher officers of law—the
same f rity that acquitted a Wood and a
Mercer, and turned the Flanagans loose again
upon the community.

The Spirit of Locofocoism,
If additional evidence had been wanted to con
vince any candid, order-loving, patriotic citizen,
that locofocoism, like nearly all other isms, is based
upon principle! the reverse of those which should
characterize gny party in a free country, it has been
afforded in this city during the past week. Ever
since the nomination of Polk, scenes by which the
Locofoco National Convention has been distinguish
ed front all other Conventions, have been surpassed
by the entire party, on a much larger and somewhat
different scale, throughout the Union. Disorder,
diecord and confusion reigned in the convention ;
but the disaffected were reconciled by the nomina
tion of Polk, and by the promise of a share of the
a spoils of victory," should that victory be obtained.
The " family quarrel" subsided, and the participa
tors immediately and unanimously consented to
yillify the Whig candidate, and to falsify the posi
tion of their own, in any manner which would be
best calculated to mislead the people.
The principles of Hesnr Cray, were before the
country—his measures were those which were re
quired to secure the prosperty of all classes and of
the nation—his career has been such as to secure
the confidence of the friend. of liberty throughout
the world, and his history is ,the history of the
Union. James K. Polk was an obscure, fifth-rate
lawyer in Tennessee—and those who nominated
him avowed no principles—proposed no great na
tional measures. Under these circumstances they
commenced the work of detraction with fiendish
malignity—hoping to prejudice the minds of a
portion of the people against Henry Clay. He
was denounced by the most worthless hirelings of
a degraded party, as a gambler, a murderer, and as
a man who entertains no regard for the sanctity of
the Sabbath or the morals of the community.—
Those who supported him, received a full share of
abuse, and were on many occasions subjected to
the most disgraceful outrages. The Whigs are,
and ever have been, the friends of law and order—
they have recognised the right of tho members of
any party to assemble peaceably and unmolested;
but we have not attended a Whig meeting during
the campaign at which disturbances have not been
created by the Locofocos, and frequently too, by
those who desire to be considered respectable citi
zens and pure "Democrats !"
We have contended for the preservation of the
Union—for the safety of our confederacy. Our
opponents appear to have forgotten their country,
and to think only of Texae. Our flags have been
beautified by the stars and stripes—theirs disgraced
by the "lone star" of Texas. The inscription on
ours has been throughout the United States—" the
Union and the Tariff of 1842"—that on theirs
bas been, in the south, " Oregon, Texas—Down
with the Tariff;" ant! in Pennsylvania, " Oregon,
Texas and the Democratic Tariff!" The Whigs
at all their meetings, gave enthusiastic Mazes for
the Union—the Locos invariably shouted them
selves hoarse for Texas! and did not, co for as we
have been aide to ascertain, (and we have made par
ticular inquiries,) bestow or.a cheer upon their own
country or its &111 Even now, although the con
test in this State bee ended, we are told by their
organs here that the procession which halted in
front of Mr. Dallas' residence on Saturday night,
gave nine cheers for " Oregon and Texas I"—and
Texas! TEI. !--the "lone star!" are the
shouts which are constantly,pight and day, ringing
in our ears.
Fellow citizen., the above is no exaggeration—
it is a true picture of Locolocoism, though by no
means perfect. Could we show it in its true colors,
there is not a Patriot in the country who would not
turn away from it in disgust—mortified that this
land of the free" is disgraced by such a party.—
The Whigs of Pennsylvania have been defeated
by fraud and falsehood; but thank heaven, they
have done their duty to their country, to themselves,
and to a Statesman whose services, qualifications
and patriotism entitle him to the support of every
.7reeman.—Fornm.
FRAUD!
The New Orleans Bee thus speaks of the voticg
in the vicinity of New Orleans:
We stated yesterday that ominous whivers were
circulating through the streets of a STUPEND
OUS SYSTEM OF FRAUD, PERJURY AND
SCOENDRELISM in the parish of Plaquemine.,
whereby that parish, with a voting population of
less than live hundred, would be made to give one
thousand or twelve hundred locofoco majority. We
were laughed at by a few honest locefocea who
could not conceive of the existence of such villai
ny, but we had received our information from
sources too authentic to doubt the fact. The sys
tem has been carried out. TIIE INFAMY HAS
BEEN PERPETRATED. As to the mode in
which it was done, the following communication
from a gentleman who was present at the voting,
will best demonstrate.
If there be anything in the annals of outrage
and wrong more utterly revolting and hideous than
the conduct of the presiding officers of the election
at Plaquemines, it has escaped our search. If it be
tamely tolerated; if it ho submitted to with meek
ness, the people of Louisiana may as well fold their
alms and surrender their government to the loafers
and vagabonds. the offseourings of society, the Ices
and refuse of the corutnunity who control the ballot
box, and thrust in their spurious votes in defiance
of law and justice. If this gross system of impos
ture and crime prove irremediable, wo may bid fare
well to the dream of self-government and popular in
stitutions. Let the honest citizen of every party
look at the naked filet. TWELVE HUNDRED
LOCOFOCO MAJORITY in a parish which ne
ver yet gave four hundred votes—and from three
hundred and fifty to four hundred residents of New
Orleans who had cast their suffrages here on Mon
day, allowed to vote double in Plaquenaines on
