The Result— tend its Eirects Tho'first election is over, and contrary to the hopes of all our friends, and the opinions of many, we have been defeated. Never over sanguine ourselves, still we thought we saw some evidences that our State ticket would be carried, at least a part of it. We never were confident that the Canal Commissioner would be carried. We knew the death-like tenacity with which that party clings to every thing which furnishes spoils; and added to that, we knew that many esteemed the election of one Commissioner as of little worth to our party. Ono, in a Board of three, could avail nothing; and we saw too, what others did not, that the allegation that the influence and power of the Pennsylvania Rail Road were wielded against Hopkins, was not true. We did not, it is true, make any effort to ascertain the why and the where fore, but we felt assured that we were not mistaken. Of the defeat of Woodward, we had largo hopes. The surface present: ed some evidences of deep-seated disease in their party; and many of their own shrewdest partisans, anticipated defeat,— we, as well as they, were mistaken. His notions, as expressed in the Reform Con vention, in relation to the ignorance and worthlessness of foreigners, it would ap pear, had made for him a new army of friends in the Native American party, who sympathise with him in those opinions; and what was more strange, lost him none of the votes of the people assailed. All this matters but little, only as it develops the unity of purpose, of all the elements of the Loco Foco party; and illustrates how easy some of its foes are led into its snares.— The Natives, we doubt not, will look a lit tle soared, when they see who they have been voting with. How will all this. effect the prospects of General Scott in this State? This ques tion needs a truthful answer, based upon an enlarged and sound view of the field af ter the battle. Rad we carried the State ticket, as we might, and ought to have done, our oppo nents would have abandoned the field on the 2nd of November. But defeated, al though by the neglect of the lazy Whigs to go to the election, it excites our ene mies, and seems to give them some assu rance of success. One look at the vete polled, will satisfy every Whig, that SCOTT (AN THIS STATE. The State ticket elected on the Second Tuesday, with all its boast ed victory and majority, has loss votes, by many thousands we have no doubt, than the Whig vote polled for Wm. F. Johnston, last fall; and every man knows that nin ny thousands of honest Democrats, who voted with that party at the late election, will come out" and manfully work and vote for Scott. Who forgets the fall of 1840, when we were so badly beaten in the State for Congressmen, and yet how glori ously old Tip triumphed ? This year, our State is full of men who love Gene Scott,— who have fought by his side—who know and value his worth; and they will vote for him. A defeated politician will be dishearten ed at defeat—the spoils—the fat offices— the rich contracts, fade from his vision.— A patriot who loves his country and his political creed, rises above the depression of a single defeat. Gen. Scott's first bat- - tle at Queenstown Heights, was a defeat. At its close he found himself a prisoner of war. Did it abate his zeal and bravery— No! from that day, until the present, his life has been one victorious march,—over England's army—over her savage alies— over "foes in the rear"—over Marcy and his meanness—over the armies of Mexico, and over Polk and his panders. Would the Whigs of our State prove their patriotism—they must show that they have willed success, and may not be disap pointed. They have the strength—energy and action will secure the victory. Progress ive e oe rEaey There are no arguments, that can be wielded, with so much truth and force, against the Modern Democracy, as those which call up the memories of the past.— If you acme to drive an honest and intel ligent member of that party to the wall, in a discussion about which of the two great parties of the day, are in trukh the Demo cratic Party,—you have only to refer to the (by them) forgotten records of the ear ly history of our licpublic,—to some of the principles, and questions of policy, which in that day, when the doctrines and deeds of the patriot moulded our institutions, in to the liberal, as well as beautiful propor tions, which now give them their chief ex cellence. No man who regards truth, and is fa miliar with our history, pretends to deny, that Jefferson was the advocate of nation al Internal Improvements—of a Protec tive Tariff—and of a careful and well guarded protection of the men who sought their livelihood by their toil, at the plough the loom and the anvil, from the encroach ments, of the power of place, and the op pressions of office holders, and their hun gry, and vicious attendants. It is gratifying, in those days of demo cratic degeneracy, %hen all manner of po litical sins are perpetrated in the name of Denworacy, —When to act under the ban ner of that miscalled Democratic Party, seems to be a license, to say anything., no matter how much violence it does to truth; to see occasionally, a bold spirit, who is willing to avow the truth manfully. In 1 1344 we saw ono or two, who then said Polk was for free-trade, and that the Kane Letter was a swindle. They were then abused as traitors, but the future sustain ed them and, wrote “falsehood" on the Tariff professions of their party orators. 7. Their progress has been at the expense of honor. On this subject of modern Democracy sustaining, and still defending the princi ples of the ancient Democracy, we occa sionally hear a report from the pop-guns of their party, when they are mounted on some of their platforms, and are "touched off" on township occasions. But when you wish to hear some of their real thunder,— a great-gun, then go to the gatherings of the sachems of their tribe. It is not long sine°. Senator Douglass, as he is familiary called the "Little Gi ant" met their master spirits, in council at Tammany Hall, N. Y., and in a speech on that occasion, the Statesman—the Sen ator—the would be president, comes down to avow their notions of progress as fol lows viz: wile Whigs don't understand the doc trine of progress. They point always to Washington as the Father of his Country. Suppose he hail pointed to the policy of his fathers, what would have become of the American revolution? [Cheers and laughter.) Or, again, of Jefferson: if he had stood still and abided by the law and government which prevailed in the time of his fathers, how would we ever have achieved our present independence ? [Cheers.] The fact is, our fathers were all progressive Democrats. They accomplish ed wore in the way ofprogress in their lives than the world had done for six thou sand years before. [Cheers.] Our duty as successors of thorn groat won is to show that the spirit that governed them should govern us. The spirit of progress govern ed all their acts. Would it be a good ar gument against rail-cars that GEORGE IVAstitNaToN never rode on one? Or against filibustering, because Jefferson never thought of it? Or against the Collins steamers, because Benjamin Franklin nev er crossed the Atlantic in one of theist" Some, we doubt not, would take excep tion to the pot-house tone, and style,—the loose levity, with which the great “Little Giant" treats the question which he seeks to avoid, that is, does modern Democracy maintain the principles of th.ut once pure faith? Weare glad to see that ho has enough of self respect left not to assert that it does—ln truth he admits that the principles of ancient Democracy are aban doned by the modern Democracy, and at temps to justify the departure, as the spir it of progress. llo%v he justifies a school boy can see. IVe cannot close this article without calling attention to the following extract from a speech of Senator Bell, in which he gives the Whig opinion on this question of progress. Read it. We could not say what are our views in so few, nor so ap propriate words. "I should lib, if I had time, to say a word about this ago of progress. That it is an age of increased population, wealth, and power in this country, and of an in creased knowledge and science every where, no one doubts. That is all for• good. But I should like to know in what consists that progress of the age which is announced as the basis of reforms in re gard to the political institutions. The highest moral institution on earth, except religion, is that of goverment. What is the progress of the age in the science of government? It is an experimental s'Aeuce. New revelations of facts lay the ground work for reforms and improvements in government. What is that progress in America? We have seen what modern progress has done in Europe in this de partment of science. But I ask, what progress has there been in America? Have any new and better forms of government been discovered? Any new principles brought out by experience better calcula ted to advance and secure the happiness of mankind than the institutions as they were devised and digested by the archi tects of our revolutionary period? What new theories have been developed in the lapse of the last half-century which show au advance in the science of government? Has our legislation become wiser and pur er—founded in more patriotic ideas, and better calculated to advance the interests 'and happiness of the people? Are our public functionaries, executive, or judicial, of a higher older of intellect, of enlightenment, of patriotism, and of fi delity to their great trusts? Is there less of corruption, waste, profligacy, and favor itism in the public administration? And, to notice some of the ordinary tests, has' crime diminished? Are frauds less preva lent in trade? Are life and property more secure? Is the spirit of personal ambi tion less pestilent? Is the spirit of fac tion less turbulent and mischievous? And in regard to the, great distinguishing char acteristic of a people competent to self government, and to uphold a Republic— LOYALTY TO THE LAW—is that snore pre valent and abounding? But I cannot dwell longer upon this subject. I fear, sir, that this idea of progress is to be our ruin. Ninety-nine hundredths of those ' who talk of it, and of those who proclaim it to the country, do not discriminate be tween change and progress. We are all progressive. The: eis a progress in time —•a change in every thing. We are not what we were. We cannot remain what we are. We must go forward. But a true pro gress in public morals and in society, WHICH MAY JUSTIFY MATERIAL CHANLIES IN AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS, I WAIT TILE PROOFS OF." SCOTT TICKETS. The tickets for the Presidential election are now ready for delivery. Whigs in the several townships, when in town, will please call at the Journal office, and procure a supply. 114/.IKE UP: The Loco Pocos at the last election, not withstanding they have a largo majority on their State ticket, did not poll as many votes, by thousands, as the Whigs polled last year for Governor Johnston, judging from the returns as far as hoard from. The Whig . vote is not out. Arouse to action! Will you let General Scott loose this State by your laziness?—Shall Scott be defeated because Whigs were not at the election ? Every Whig in Huntingdon county must be at tho election in November. Who dare stay away, and claim the name of Whig? The State Senate. The State Senate, wo are glad to learn, will still be in the hands of the Whigs.-- Of the eleven Senators who went out this year eight wore Locos, and three wore Whigs. By the returns we see that the Whigs have gained two and lost one. They loose one iu Bucks and gain one in Sehuyl kill and one in Montgomery county. WHAT FORTY YEARS WILL DO. Forty years ago, our country was enga ged in a fierce war with her old, powerful, and relentless foe. Then the recollections of the war of 1776, were fresh in the minds of thousands who had lived Old fought, in that struggle for national being. Then a young law student, "who could speak, and write and fight," first appeared in our ar my. At the battle of Queenstown Heights Winfield Scott, gave the evidence of his prowess in the field, and from that day on ward, through that bloody and savage war, as one battle after another was fought, the people of the United States, every where, gave one long and universal shout of praise to IVINFIELD SCOTT. His name was on every tongue. His deeds of daring— his triumphant bravery, were related by every fire-side, and the hurrahs of the school boys, were for the "Hero of Lundy's Lane"—the College of New Jersey con ferred on him the degree of Master of Arts; and the orator of the day (commencement) whose theme was "the duties of a good ci tizen in peace and war"—made Gen. Scott the personification of the civic and heroic virtues. In 1814 Congress ordered a med al to be made and presented to him, "for his uniform good conduct throughout the war." In 1816, the Legislature of Vir ginia, unanimously voted him a sword, "with proper emblems and devices there on." The Legislature of New York did the same. Those, readers, are the events which are inscribed on history's page, for ty years ago. NOW, what do we see ? American ci tizens, whose "legs are faint" with the haste to assail the fair fame of Gen. Scott. Souse call him a coward—some a dunce— some a stolid soldier—and the Loco Foco party, all unite in traducing Gen. Scott.-- It may be asked, has the forty years done this ? 011, no ! we answer. Party does this,--parl y, made the infamous Callender say that the day of Washington's death, ought to have been a day of rejoicing, and party now demands of the people, that they condemn the man they once delighted to honor. Honest citizens of America, na tive or naturalized, will you not stand by him, who, forty years ago, defended your homes. For party's sake, will you endorse the vilifier's of the brave and good Scott 1 We feel assured that you will not. No, no, you will prove that forty years has on ly increased the debt of gratitude, and that you will pay it now with your votes, and your zeal. The Britislk Candidate for President The English press, English capitalists, and English manufacturers continue to manifest a warm and active interest for the election of a President who represents a party friendly to British interests, and hostile to American prosperity. Here is further evidence of the truth of the state ment :—State Journal From the London Despatch of Sept. 5. The two parties of the Republic, Whig and Democrat—that is, conservative and progressive, protectionist and free trader —appear to have marshalled their forces and selected their candidates for the com ing election. Exery Englishman, of al most every class, rejoices in the expecta tion of success for the Democratic, pro gressive, free trade party. From Blackwood's .Magazine for July. The manufactures of America cannot exist under competition with England with out a higher Tariff; and the simple ques tion is, whether manufactures shall cease or not. We must add our coroberativo testimo ny to the above, and relate a little incident which fell under our observation. A s:.ecial Court was held by our Presi dent Judge one day last week for the pur pose of naturalizing such persons as de sired it. We observed one of our brethern of the bar procuring ""the papers" for a former subject of Queen Victoria—an English man. With a smile of exultation he said, "we are now getting not only the Dutch and Irish, but the English, to vote with us." 'Yes,' was our answer, 4 since your party, has abandoned the tariff, and owns out fur British Free Trade, of course you get the British vote,"—the dialogue closed. Olir readers may draw their own conclu sions. For tho Journal MR. EDITOR :- In glancing over the ed itorial columns of the last Globe I observed an allusion to the Whig meeting lately held in this place. That meeting was addressed in the afternoon and evening by 11. B. SWOOPE, DAVID BLAIR, and JACOB CDESSWELL, Esqrs., and I deem it but justice to these gentlemen to state that no such language was used, as that imputed to one of thee► by the editor of the Globe.— If such language was made use of at all, it must have been by the two drunken demo crats that attempted to interrupt the meet ing.,.

Ancient Democracy. There is no man, who five and twenty years ago, was on the stage of being; and who now claims to belong to the party, called Democratic, who has not been cow ' pelled by the necessity of the case, to claim Gen. Jackson as the master spirit of Democracy,—that party now rear their “hickory trees" as their flag staffs and, banner polls. Jackson's name has been a kind of charm, a magic-spell, which pro tected the be:capered politicians. If he could but remember G.n Jackson and his deeds of glory, and his political priciples he was safe. Even now you can heir the little orators and their township stutupers tell how that good man Jackson has been abused by tho whigs,—how his principles have been ocndeumod by them, and how true to his purposes, and how faithful to his notions of political economy, this now ' light Democracy have ever been. We have many times, k our day and generation, proved the base swindle; still they shamelessly persist; we cannot resist showing them up once more—the question of the protection of American Manufactures is directly involved in the present election. General Scott is a protective Tariff loan, Pierce is a British Free trade man—and no man of sense and truth in his party denies it. Which party, now advocates the princi ples of the old Jackson Democracy, is a question which will not be hard to answer after the following letter has been read.— Our readers must call the attention of their Democratic neighbors to this letter, and ask them how they like it. Here it is. WASHINGTON CITY April 26, 1824. Heaven smiled upon us and gave us lib erty and independence. That same Prov idence has blest us with the means of na tional independence and national defence. If we omit or refuse to use the gifts which have been extended to us, we deserve not the continuation of His blessings. lie has filled our mountains and our plains with mineral, with lead, iron and copper, and given us a climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the great materials of our national defence, they ought to have extended to them adequate and fair proteeti.m, that our manufacturers and laborers may be placed iu a fair com petition with those of Europe, and that we may have within our country a supily of those leading and important artiLles so essential in war. I will ask, what is the real situation of the agriculturist? Where has the Ameri can farmer a market for his surplus pro duce ? Except for cotton, he has neither a foreign nor a home market. Does not this clearly prove, when there is no market at home or abroad, that there is too much labor employed iu agriculture? Common sense at once points out the remedy. Take from agriculture in the United States six hundred thousand men, women and chil dren, and you will at once give a market for more breadstuffs than all Europe now furnishes us. In short, sir, we have been too long subject to the policy of British mer chants, it is time we should become a little more .Imericanized, and instead 01 feed ing paupers and laborers of England, Iced our own; or else, in a short time, by con tinuing our pre,cut policy we shall all be rendered paupers ourselves. It is, then, fore, my opinion that a careful and judi cious tariff is much wanted to pay our na tional debt, and to afford us the means of that defence within ourselves,on which the safety of our country and iberty de pends; and last, though not least, give a proper distribution to our labor, which !oust prove beneficial to the happiness, in dependence, and wealth of the community. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your must obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON. The Ohi;Electio; Cincinnati, Oct. 16.—Fifty-three coun ties have been heard from.
