Arthur's Home Gazette.
We arc decidedly opposed to the indiscriminate
puling of the Mammoth Literary Humbugs which
are daily and weekly rolled out from the steam
presses of our large cities. "Arthur's Home Ga
zette," however, we can cordially commend to
public patronage. It is mainly devoted to family
instruction and entertainment, and abounds with
well written articles and tales, designed for the ad
vancement of morality, religion and truth.
Milowood Academy.
This institution, under the charge of the Messrs.
M'Gnorss, is one of the very best Educational in
stitutions fur boys and young men, in the State.—
The Principals are gentlemen of very extensive
acquirements, and high stand:rig in society, and
she success which has already attended the estab
lishment of their Academy, is its best recommen
dation. We learn that the semi-annual exhibi
tion, which took place on the 25th ult., was very
largely attended, and passed off with great Mat.
The manner in which all of the students acquitted
themselves was highly honora')le to them, as well
ea creditable to the worthy gentlemen under whose
cure their minds are being trained, and prepared
for the important parts they will be called upon to
perform upon the great stage of life.
_ . .
The winter session of Milnwood Academy, as
will be seen by reference to our advertising col
umns, will commence on the 6th of November.
The Popular Vole
We have official returns from thirty-one coun
ties in the State, says the Daily News, including
the city of Philadelphia, leaving thirty-one eoun
_ _ .
counties on Canal Commissioner, including Mon
tour, which formerly formed part of Columbia,
gives us an aggregate of 86,371 fot Dungan Whig,
and 90,579 for Morrison, Loco. This is an excee
dingly small vote. In 1948, when the total Whig
vote of the State was 168,523, and the opposition
168,221, these counties, exclusive of Montour,
which then formed a part of Columbia, gave John
son, for Governor, 114,729, and Longstreth 112,-
664 ; thus showing a falling off in the Whig vote
in one half the State, of 28,358 ; and in the Loco
foco vote of 22,167. These facts fully explain the
causes of our defeat.
The Fugitive Slave Law.
Anti-Slave Law meetings have been held In
Boston, New York, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, De
troit, and other places, at which speeches violent
ly denouncing the late act of Congress, relative to
Fugitive Slaves were made, and resolutions in fa
vor of adopting measures for the repeal of the law
were passed. The feeling at each place was of a
very strong kind, and pervaded the people gene
rally. There aro now between 300 and 400 fugi
tive slaves in Boston, many of whom have resided
there for years, have acquired property, and are
said to be respectable and useful citizens.
The Whigs of New York.
The breach between the different sections of our
friends widens. The N. Y. Express, Albany Reg
ister, Buffalo Commercial, Troy Whig, and Oswego
Times have taken out the Syracuse ticket from
their columns. It is said that Wm. H. Seward is
to "stump the State," to use the modern expres
sion, beginning at Albany. However much the
Whigs of that State may differ upon the principle
of endorsing a Senator's course, we see no reason
why they cannot unite in the support of a ticket
that has Washington Hunt at its head.
The Globe's Reasoninr.
We heard a Democrat, the otherday, comment
ing on the Globe's "reasons" for opposing Speer.
Said he, the Globe man reminds me of what is said
to F Gratiano, in Shakspeare's Merchant of Venice.
17e "writes an infinite deal of nothing; more than
any man in all Christendom; his reasons are like
two grains of wheat in two bushels of chair; you
may search all day ere you find them, and when
you have them, they aro not worth the search."—
Exactly !
Found Dead
We learn from the Hollidaysburg Register, that
s widow woman, named JEMIMA Lewis, about 60
years of age, was found dead in her bed, at her
residence in Garberstown, on MOnday of last week.
From the appearance of the body, she had bean
dead some two or three days. The Coroner's Ju
ry returned a verdict of "natural death."
Heavy Mail Robbery.
The pouches containing the great Southern mail
were stolen from the Cur as it was about leaving
Philadelphia, last Saturday night a week, and
were found on the following morning, near Gray's
Ferry, completely rifled of their most valuable con
tents, including a large amount of money. A re
ward of $l,OOO is offered for the detection and ar
rest of the robbers.
or We neglected to announce last week, that
the Whigs of Blair county had elected their whole
ticket. Guerrillaism has been moat "awfully used
np" In this districts "Well it hat."
AN HONEST CONFESSION
The Globe and the Democracy I
If it be true, that "an honest confession is good
for the soul," our neighbor of the Globe doubtless
begins to feel easier and breathe more freely.—
The lust number of that paper contains a puerile
production, of nearly two columns, which details
a scheme of political trickery and treachery that
should make an honest man hang his head and
blush! The editor, unwittingly perhaps, shows
clearly and conclusively, that all we have charged
upon him is true. In undertaking to "define his
position," and show "why he opposed Mr. Speer,"
the Democratic candidate fur Sheriff, he complete
ly exposes the trickery that was resorted to by him
to "choke off" Messrs. Madden, Miller, Wray,
Speer, and ALL the Democratic candidates, in or
der to subserve the interests, and secure, if possi
ble, the election of the renegade Whig to whom
he had "sold out," and to whom he hail promised
the support of the Democratic party. The evi
dence of a "bargain and sale" between the Globe
editor and Whittaker, is as palpably apparent as if
written upon the heavens with a pencil of sunbeams.
According to his own declarations he was "pledged
to Capt. Whittaker," before the Democratic party
lout made any positive and final arrangement, tan
exhibiting a disposition to "bolt" from the action
of his party, "bluff off" all the Democratic aspi
rants, and carry out his "bargain" at all hazards.
From the very first, to quote his own language, he
"urged the withdrawal of ALL the Democratic can
didates," and a union of the party "in favor of
John Whittaker," thus showing conclusively, that
the "bargain" between him and Whittaker taut
been consummated early in the campaign.
laying assumed the responsibility of trading off
the party, for a consideration, every means was
resorted to by the Globe editor, to crowd all the
Democratic candidates off the track—concentrate
the party vote upon Whittaker—and thus, by a
trick, to have the Democracy sanction and ratify
the "bargain" he had contracted! But in this he
signally failed. The Democratic aspirants, "know
ing the animal" they had to deal with, proceeded
cautiously. The indecent haste with which the
Globe editor endeavored to drive them front the
field, and the extraordinary zeal which he mani
fested in Whittaker's behalf, at once aroused their
suspicions that there was a conspiracy on font of
which they were to be the victims ! Rejecting the
overtures of the Globe editor, and rebuking his
dictation, a meeting of the candidates was deter
mined upon, at which they agreed to submit their
claims to a "Committee of five" Democrats, pled
ging themselves to abide by the decision of that
Committee. Well, the Committee met, the claims
and availability of the several candidates were dis
cussed, Mr. Speer was declared to be "the choice
of the Committee," and "the REPORT," admits
the Globe, "was in some shape ADOPTED !"
Speer, then, according to the Globe's own show
ing, wes fairly in the field as the Democratic can
didate, and was entitled to the support of the party.
Here again the Globe editor was "headed," and
he whined like a whipped school-boy over the
11. 1141 ' 4 d p i e o , f " hi li s e "iisl determined, ntlt himself
adhere to his "bargain" and brave it out! Ac
cordingly he came out boldly in his paper in op
position to Mr. Speer, repudiated the action of the
"Committee of five," and appealed to the Democ
racy to rally upon Whittaker ! But here again the
Globe editor was subjected to a mortifying defeat.
The Democracy, refusing to follow his lead, stood
by their own candidate, Mr. Speer—and had it not
been for the disorganizing efforts of the Globe, the
probability is he would have been elected.
But the most ridiculous part of the whole per
formance, is the Globe's attempt to humbug the
Democracy into the belief that Mr. Speer is a very
"desperate" and bad man, and that the triumph of
the Whigs in this county, was the result of his
(Speer's) "efibrts to unite the Democratic party !'
Well now, that's rich—decidefily ! What pro
fundity of wisdom! What logical reasoning !
-"So young, so wise,
They say do ne'er live long!"
Mr. Speer, like a true party man, labored to
unite the Democracy, maintain the party organiza
tion, and concentrate the party vote ! The Globe
editor, on the contrary, opposed the Democratic
candidate, and done all lie could to dis-organise
the party, by going for a renegade Whig. And
then charges the responsibility of their defeat upon
Mr. Speer! What a political Daniel the Globe
editor is ! Under his management the Democrat
ic party is this county is destined to grow "small
by degrees and beautifully less."
Flogging in the Navy Abolished.
Humanity has triumphed, and Congress has abo
lished Flogging in the Navy- of the only freemen
in the world. As the Tribune eloquently remarks
that degrading, brutalizing barbarism will no more
disgrace the character of America and her Repub
lican institutions. Henceforth the backs of Amer
ican freemen will no more be gashed and gored by
the horrible "cut" and "colt," while they aro ex
posing their lives, and courting hardships, in de
tence of the Starry Flag which would fain be held
the symbol and stay of Free and Equal Manhood.
The stripes of that Flag may henceforth be imaged
on the writhing barks of black Slaves, but no lon
ger on those of White Freemen.
Which Will They Do?
Judging from the many amendments attached
to the appropriation bills, the expenditures of the
Government will reach some $55,000,000 the pre
sent year. Now taking into consideration the
fact that the Bounty Land Bill appropriates an al
most unlimited quantity of land for military boun
ties, and thereby diminishes the revenue from the
public lands to almost nothing, the receipts of the
Government will not near come up to the expend
itures. So that at the next session, Congress will
have either to revise the tariff and increase the
duties, or else lay a direct fax upon the people.—
Which will they choose to do?
air The "sere and yellow leaf" reminds us of
the approach of that "saddest, sweetest season of

THE LATE ELECTION.
Why the "Whip were Defeated.
We are as yet unable to present correct tables
of the popular vote at the late election. Enough
is known, however, to warrant us in summing up
the result, so far as Congress and the Legislature
are concerned, as follows:—Fourteen Locofoco
and ten Whig members of Congress; one Inde
pendent, five Locofoco, and five Whig State Sen
ators; and about sixty Locofoco and forty Whig
members of the House of Representatives. We
have lost a Whig member of Congress in Mont
gomery and Delawarer another in Chester, anoth
er in York and Adams, a fourth in this district, a
fifth in the Somerset district, a sixth in the first
district, and a sevenths its else Union district, while
the Locofocos have again succeeded in the Bucks,
Franklin and Butler districts. In all of these ten
districts, the Whigs might easily have been suc
cessful, had they but done their DUTY and gone to
the polls and voted, instead of remaining at home
indifferent as to the result. The aggregate of
the majorities in these districts, (says the Daily
News,) is scarcely two thousand, and in contrast
with this we place the humiliating fact that more
than eight thousand Whigs stayed away from the
polls. We have been defeated in the State, and
Pennsylvania will be represented in the next Con
gress by a delegation, two-thirds of which are the
advocates of Free Trade, and whose views and
feelings are inimical to all the cherished interests !'
of our old Commonwealth. Our Whig friends,
too, who &fled to do their duty, must remember
that this is the natural anti immediate result of
their one neglect; for although defeated, we have
not suffered defeat from the overpowering strength
of the opposition, but rather from a lukewarmness, '
indifference and neglect of the plainest duty, on
the part of our political friends. " Ye knew your
they, but ye did it not."
If there should be no modification of the Tariff
—(and we can hope for none)—we trust that no
Whig who refused to go to the recent election and
vote, will utter one word of complaint. The Whigs
have an undoubted majority in this district, and in
the State, and it is the fault of their stay-at-home
brethren, that they are now laboring under the
mortification of a defeat. We have hundreds of
men in our ranks who will grumble a whole year
at the evils of Locofocoism, but who will not de
vote a single half clay towards ridding the country
of them. It is the shamethl negligence and indif
ference of such "do-nothing" Whigs, that brings
defeat and disgrace upon the Whig party, and
rain upon the country. In politics, as well as in
everything_else, our motto is, "Whatsoever thy
hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." Had
our friends done this, the good old Whig flag
would still float in triumph over the Capitol of the
Keystone State, instead of being struck down and
trampled upon by the myrmidons of Free Trade.
But it is useless to indulge in regrets for the
past. Let the Whigs learn wisdom from the re
sult of the bite election, and resolve to discharge
their duty bet ter hereafter. Undismayed by de
feat, let us "hope on, hope ever," and again rally
under ens- time-honored flag, and press onward to
new triumphs ! Let the motto of every Whig be,
"Pennsgranbt mast be redeemed ."'

party with, he can just "trot them out."
Flying Machine.
A flying machine, which promises to realize the
hitherto visionary anticipations of a successful and
practical navigation of the air, is noticed iu the N.
York papers. This invention is a new application
of the principle of a Flying Machine which has al
ready attracted the attention and received the ap
probation of many eminent scientific men in this
country. It is believed that the feasibility of air
navigation has been indisputably demonstrated,
and that by this machine space can be annihilated
with a rapidity second only to the Magnetic Tele
graph. An ascension will take place from New
York city in a few weeks.
Copper Mines in Pennsylvania.
Valuable veins of copper ore have been found
and opened in Pennsylvania, near the Schuylkill
river, about twentw miles from the city of Phila
delphia. The Pe:my/run/an says these mines, in
richness and extent, are said to be equalled only by
the rich mines of Cornwall, in England, which
they are said to resemble in a remarkable degree.
Some of these veins have been opened to a great
depth, and traced for three miles in extent, show
ing that they are very regular and inexhaustible.

Glad to Hear It.
The National Administration at Washington are
going through the very necessary operation of giv

ptires it, Turn them out !
TUE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL.
Repeal! Repeal!
The Fugitive Slave Bill passed by Congress, at
the close of the late session, has created great ex
citement in the public mind. Instead of produ
cing peace and quiet, it has aroused a whirlwind
of popular indignation througliourthe Free North,
that will cease only when theloul blot shall have
' been wiped from the disgraced records of the Na
tion. Large meetings have already been held in
many of our large cities and towns, and public
sentiment seems to be strongly against this iniqui
tous law, and in favor of its speedy repeal.
In reference to this Fugitive Slave Bill, it is tru
ly and eloquently observed by a writer, that over
the length and breadth of this great confederacy of
Independent States the genius of slavery flaps her
sable wings, and there is no spot so sacred to free
dom that the trembling fugitive from bondage may
not be torn from it by the teeth of dogs or the hands
of remorseless men.
The general features of the bill are well under
stood. It is precisely what the most rabid slave
holder and man-stealer desired. It is the foulest
libel upon our vaunted "free institutions," that ever
blackened the Statute Book. It smothers the sa
cred impulses of Christianity, and transforms the
loveliest virtues into felonies. It sanctions the
vilest outrages, and visits with chains and penal
ties the heathenish culprit who dares to obey the '
plainest injunctions of Moly Writ.
It provides for the appointment of Commission
ers, before whoe the pirate is to appear and make
oath that the runaway ishis "chattel ;" whereup
on the Commissioner grants a certificate comman
ding the Marshal of the District to seize said
chattel and convey it to the plantatiom of said clai
mant. Only one interested witness need perjure
himself for a license to enslave a freeman. The
judgment of the lowest officer of the Judiciary is
the first and last link in "the endless chain of tech
nicalities," by which a citizen may be doomed to
life-long Slavery.
By this simple process all the safeguards of per
sonal liberty secured by the time honored Magna
Charm and the Constitution are abolished. "The
right of trial by jury," which our fathers consider
ed a sacred and inalienable right, is disregarded.
The grossest rascalities are encouraged and legal
ized. For the honor of our eotmtry, we should have
wished the bill had been defeated. For the good
of the cause of Freedom, we rejoice over its pas
sage. The barefaced iniquity of the thing will in
evitably frustrate its object. Its brutal atrocity
will redden even cheeks of dough, with the blush
of shame. Every kidnap authorized by it will
raise up five hundred strong and determined foes
of Slavery.
The cry of REPEAL has already gone forth,
and it will continue to ring through the land until
Justice triumphs, and this badge of despotism is
swept from the statute-book of the Nation !
German Pluck.
The papers received by the Atlantic state that
the Austrians are revenging themselves for the as
sault committed on their countryman, the butcher
General Ilaynau, by the London draymen, in a
manner very characteristic of the priest-and-prince
ridden Austrians. When the news reached Vien
na that Gen. Haynau had received the compliment
l of a sound thrashing from the London Draymen,
an Austrian officer, awfully arrayed, boldly, by
battery, besieged the portrait of Queen Victoria,
which was hanging up in a cafe, midmost gallantly
demolished the unresisting effigy of a gentle lady
Ohio Election.
The vote for Governor is nut fully in, but it is
generally conceded that Reuben Wood, the Loco
foco candidate for governor is elected, through the
diversion of the Free Soil vote, which mostly
comes from the Whig ranks. The Congressional
delegation will stand nine Whigs, nine Locos, one
Free Soiler, one abolition locofoco, and one inde
pendent Whig.

“With our Coffins on our Backs.”
The recommendation of the Rev. Mr. Colquitt
that the people of the South should march up to
the line of 36 30 with their coffins on their backs
has caused many of the• worthies of the secession
to adopt the coffin as a party symbol. The Rome
(Ga.) Eagle and Bulletin says, the emblem adopted
by these fire-eaters is a very apt one; for in it
will he buried the hopes and political aspirations
of many a demagogue.

Three Cent Pieces.
We perceive by the papers that the net , / three

coined, has been issued by the Philadelphia mint.
It is said to be a beautiful coin, havingon one side
the words "United States of America," in which
is a circular wreath, including the numeral "III."
On the reverse side is the Liberty Cap, inscribed
with the word "Liberty," and surrounded with rays.
Underneath the cap are the figures "1850."

RESULT IN THE STATE.
Members of Congress Elected.
The Locofocos have gained seven members in
the next Congress in districts now represented by
Whigs, and, lost two. The Whigs have not suc
ceeded as they would have done with an undivided
issue upon the Tariff. The delegation in the next
Congress will stand as follows :
lst District—T. 13. Florence, Loco gain.
2d.—Jos. R. Chandler, Whig, re-elected.
3d.-11. D. Moore, Whig, re-elected.
4th.—John Robbins, Jr. Loco re-elected.
Rh.—John M'Nair, Loco, gain.
6th.—T. Ross, Loco, re-elected.
7511.—Dr. John A. Morrison, Loco, gain.
Bth.—T. Stevens, Whig, re-elected.
%h.—J. Glancy jones, - Loce, elected.
10th.—Milo M. Dimmick, Loco., re-elected.
11th.—Henry M. Fuller, Whig, elected.
12th.—G. W. Grow, Loco, in place of Wilmot.
13th.—James Gamble, Loco,gain.
14th.—Thos. M. Blbighause, Whig, elected.
15th.—Wm. IT. Kurtz, Loco, elected for 23d
Congress; J. 13. Danner, LOco, for vacancy. Gain.
16th.—Jas. X. WLanahan, Loco, re-elected.
17th.—Andrew Parker Loco, gain.
„
18th.—John L. Dawson, Loco, gain.
19th.-Joseph Kuhns ' Whig, gain.
20th.—John Allison, Whig, elected.
21st.—Thos. M. Howe, Whig, for 23d Congress;
farmer I.?eav„ . .Whig,l2r vacancy.
22d.—J. W. Howe, Whig, re-elected.
23d.—J. H. Walker, Whig, gain.
24th.—Alfred Gilmore, Loco, re-elected.
From the above it will be seen that the Locos
bare elected 14, and the Whigs only 10 members
to the 23d Congress. This result is anything but
pleasant, and was brought about by the apathy of
the Whigs themselves. They had seen a Con
gress engaged for ten months in a disreputable
squabble upon matters not of political importance,
while the wantof Protection to their own industry
was every day bringing them nearer and nearer to
distress, without any attempt to procure a legisla
tive remedy; and they became, as it were,.strkk
en with despair, and insensible to the efforts re
quired of them. Rad the Whigs in Congress kept
their eyes continually upon the subject of a reform
of the Tariff, and not been led away from this
practical issue, the people would have had hopes,
and their energies would have been excited to a
triumphant meeting of the question. But they
were allowed to go to sleep without hope that any
thing would be done. Bence the result.
The State Senate Whig!
Eleven Senators were elected this fall, five of
whom are Whigs, five Locofocos, and one Inde
pendent, (Judge MYERS, of Clarion county,) who
will generally vote with the Whigs, thus leaving
the Senate as it was at the last session, sixteen
Whigs, sixteen Locos, and one Independent, who
will have the casting vote. It is generally conce
ded, that the election of Judge Myers secures the
Senate to the Whigs. The following are the new
Senators elected :
1. Benj. Matthias. 17. Geo. Sanderson.
2. T. S. Forsyth. 19. John Hoge.
11. Thomas Carson. 21. A. Robertson.
13. Joseph Bailey. 22. Jas. Carothers.

much majority it is hardly worth while to estimate.
Certainly by some thousands. We will endeavor
to lay the official returns before our readers next
week, if possible. The returns reach us so slowly
that it is impossible, at the present time, to make
up anything like a satisfactory statement.
The Amendment.
The Amendment to the Constitution, providing
for the election of Judges by the people, has been
carried by a majority of front thirty to fifty thou
sand. There was very little general interest felt
in the question, and it was nut properly under
stood, or its importance felt. That the people of
this county aro decidedly opposed to any tinker
ing with the Constitution, is evident from the large
majority they gave against the Amendment.
An Excursion.
A large party of gentlemen from Philadelphia,
accompanied by a fine brass Band, passed through
this place, on Friday morning lust, over the Cen
tral Railroad, to Hollidaysburg, and returned in
the afternoon. The Cars stopped here but u very
few minutes, and consequently our city friends had
not an opportunity of "seeing the sights" in the
ancient town of Huntingdon.
(LW HENRY M. FULLER has been elected to
Congress, in the I I th district, by a majority of 48
votes. He is a gallant Whig, and will make an
able and efficient representative.
The Mayor of Pittsburg,
The people of Pittsburg, at their last municipal
election, in a sportive freak, took it into their heads
to elcciai Mayor a crack brained street itinerary.
This panTiinge, according to what we glean from
the Pittsburgpapers, seems to have about the same
understanding of his functions as Robin Rougheed
had of his, when, becoming a lord, ho prohibited
apple-dumplings, and allowed nothing to be eaten
but beef-steak and onions.- Mayor Barker has
proscribed all sorts of municipal regulations, and
arrested various grades of judicial dignitaries and
police officers, and has made it necessary at times
that he in his turn should be arrested by eases of
them. His latest outrage was the arrest and im
prisonment of a committee of the select councils of
Pittsburg. Subsequently, however, Judge M' Clare
went to the prison, and J. J. Kuhn, Esq., city
solicitor, appeared on the part of the committee.
and ns clerk, and John Mellon, Esq., far the corn-•
monwealth ; when all the gentlemen who bad been
committed were discharged, on giving bail in the
sum of one thousand dollars for their appearance.-
Suits, it is said, will at once he entered against the
mayor. The people of Pittsburg appear to be
growing restive under this state of things.,
PITTSBURG, Oct: 10:
. MAYOR UNDER BAlL:—Mayor Barker has been
arrested and held to bail on various charges of as
salt and battery, false imprisonment, and misde
meanor in office. Riots occur here every night,
in which the Mayor's police, being composed of
the worst rowdies, are active participants.
Cooping Voters.
The reprehensible practice of "cooping" voters
is said to have been largely practised previous to.
the late election in Maryland. The Baltimore
Clipper contains the following remarks, which are
entitled to attention, and especially so, if the alle
gations to which that paper refers are not exagger
ated:
" Some curious occurrences took place just pre
ceding the htte election of (tot ernor of this State.
Both parties had their coops, or 11011808 in which
they confined voters. Heretofore, we understand,
it has been the practice of parties to coop their own
voters, to prevent their lailingfl into tic hands of
their adversaries on the day of election. But at
the late election a different practice prevailed; and
putiticul opponents were seized and confined until
tie pulls had been closed. Nor was this cooping
confined to intemperate :nen. Gentlemen of re
spectability, it is said, were also caged and kept
from voting. We have heard that several gentle
men made narrow escapes, and among them our
worthy Mayor, who.is said to be indebted to the
fleetness of his horse for retaining his ii. ertyduring
the day of election. This caging was no doubt
tine spurt to those engaged in it ; but it is; never
theless, at outrage widen should nut be perpetrated
and which deserves to be punished.
" We have heard several persons complaint f
being thus deprived of their liberty, and of their
right of suffrage; and some have talked of seekirg.
redress by law—but the misfortune is, that they
arc generally nimble to identify their captors. if
there be not law to punish such offences, addition
al acts should be passed, inflicting the severest pen-
ulties.
Excitement in 17aTanna.
The authorities of Cuba, according to late advi
ces, are still apprehensive of a second invasion of
the Island, by another expedition front the United
States. The Governor began to fear the volun
teers who took up arms in his defence, doting the
late troubles, and they have all been disarmed.—
This step has produced a domestic difficulty, which
in addition to the apprehensions from abroad, will
keep the Governor in hot water for a season.
Hurrah for the Brows!
Alexander E. Brown and Joseph Brown, inde
pendent candidates for Assembly in Northampton
county, have been elected over the regular Loco
Foco nominees by a handsome majority.
Alex. E. Brown is a whole-souled Whig, and
one of the ablest men in the State. James M.
Porter, one of the Locofoco nominees, was beaten
by 166 majority in his own ward, and by over 500
in the county. "flow are the mighty Wiwi'!"
The First Ticket Business.
Mr. Root, the celebrated Daguerreotypist, bid
off the first ticket to Jenny Lind's Concert at Phil
adelphia, for six hundred and twenty-five dollars!
This first ticket business begins to look as "fishy"
to us, as the Globe editor's "Democracy." Wo
begin to suspect that the Great Mogul of Mona—
gers, Barnum himself; lots an interest in these
.purchases. Barnum understands his business.
far Speaking of the new Fugitive slave law,
the Boston Atlas aptly remarks, "we wcnder that
it has never occurred to our Southern friends that
these is some danger of the fugitil a slaves on their
return to the land of bondage, teaching their fellow
bondsmen the blessings of liberty, and to assert
the doctrine that those who would be free, them
selves must strike the blow."
JENNY Lieu AND DANIEL WEDSTETL , --111 Bus

venation, as Mr. Webster was passing out of tI

siastically exclaimed—"O l I have seen a MAN'—
his very looks stamp him with greatness—he is
one of the noblest of Americans :"

Florida Election.
We have pretty full returns from Florida, which
show the election to Congress of Mr. Cabell, the•
present Whig member. The Legislature will also
