THE ELECTION AND ITS MORAL. When any election has resulted in the sue. cent of one or another party, says the North American, it is not worth while inquiring as to the extent of the triumph or the defeat. Nor is it of any utility to ascertain every secondary influence which has contributed in producing the issue of the canvass. If we can with tole, able certainty discover and measure the main and ruling element in the contest, we shall have obtained all that is important to obtain, both for the purpose of understanding the political or popular import of the vote cast and impro •ing the lesson of wisdom which that vote may teach. It is very clear that the election, through which we have just passed, has gone very de cidedly for one party against all others. In so far as the choice of candidates is concerned, the Democratic Celcet has been carried throughout the State by a triumphant ma jority. There were newtons why, according to ordinary calculations of chances, a different re sult was to have been expected. But in this, as in many previous instances, the fact Las dis appointed the hope, though that hope was sup posed to be based on the shrewdest and surest estimate of probabilities. The Democratic tic ket, as we have said, was successful, but it by no means follows that the Democratic party hue achieved a triumph of its political princi ples, or that it has secured a public endorse ment of its course in the administration of the federal government, or that its nominees fur Oh, were carried over those of the opposition by nay thiog like an independent party vote.— The revelations which are deducible from certain known interests involved in the canvas, and the aspect of the electoral returns, suffice to detnonstrate very distinctly that there was ono question in the late struggle which, with a very large potion of the people of the cow monweithli and the city, overrode all other gees tion,, and temporarily superseded or subortlina ted them to its more immediate and practical consequence. That question it is manifest, was the liquor question. It embraced the pro position whether the exceedingly prohibitory law passed by the last State Legislature in rein- tiou to the sale of intoxienting liquor, should he repealed or maintained, and though this is fine was distinctly and formally made but upon ! one side—the temperance vote, as such, being, I in reality, of too Lido force to be estimated ns an element in the election—it Was etialAed, is the An:lid:it emnplienthm of utTairk "VIITCIt eats.' ted, to sway a contruttieg, and deciette power over the result which followed. Though it is not known what was the pieeise Etrencrth of ' the '•Liquor League," ns the opponents of the late style themselves, it is very evident that their organization was a most formidable one in point of numbers, pecuniary means, and par ty discipline. It was on si nay, indeed, that it could make whichever of the two great political pariies it might choose to coal,,ce with it in the canvas, the dominant and victorious party. For reasons which contemplat,l the accent plsihmen t of /IS own particular aims, the 'League' saw tit to cast the weight of its vote into the scale of Democracy, and ocecordingly, that interest prevailed over all adverse combi nations. So cinch for the causes of the result. Let flowers by Mrs. Martha McCabe., us venture now a few reflections as to its moral.

It is a soince of rleitsure to be able to at nJrnee to our readers that the first Agricultur al and Mechanical Exhibition ever held in Huntingdon County; surpassed :our most san guine expectations. Tha fair was held in West Huntingdon, the grounds being laid out with great care, and well adapted for the purpose. Thousands or spectators were present—indeed wo have vellum seen our borough so overflow i ugly full of visitors. Some eight or ten thou. sand persons, it is estimated, were on the grounds on Thursday. In the fruit line, we may safely say, this fair carried off the palm. Never bare we seen better vegetables, than were ex hibited last week. We feel proud of our old county. We had only time to take a hasty sur vey of the wonderful things exhibited, but as those of our readers who missed the treat in not being present may wish to know a thing or two about them, we will notice a few, very brief lv. We noticed a magnificent yoke of oxen, six years old, owned by Gen. John McComb, sum, rior to any we ever before beheld. A number of splendid horses, sheep, cows, colts, &c. We would like to enumerate all the competitors for the premiums, in this line, but our space will not permit. Fouls ofall kinds, from the long-legged Shanghai to the fur/le-dors. Messrs. Geo. A. Steel, J. /Lead, A. Port, Esq., and our neigh bor of the Globe had a splendid collection of Shanghais. Maj. Stitt, 11. Cornprobst s T. 11. Crenmr, and others, exhibited superior, Tur keys, Geese, Ducks, &c. The apples exhibited, were as fine specimens of what fruit should be, as we could desire.— The collection of H. H. Hamilton, Geo, A. Steel, J. Gemini'', James Porter, Gen. Mc- Comb, John Port ttrid others, was unsurpassa ble. Thirty apples weighing thirty pounds were to be seen. Wheat, Rye, Oats, Corn, Barley, Buckwheat and aniuds of grain growing in the country, of the very best quality, from all parts of the county. The Sweet Potatoes of L. G. Kessler and Bahl. Stitt, and the Irish Potatoes of T. McCalian, were real wonders. Amongst the machines on exhibition we no ticed cutting boxes, Cultivators, Threshing Ma chines, Plows, Orain Cider Mills, Wash. my Machines, Le., and a very ingenious con. trivsnce fur calculating, innonfactured by Mr. H. Hudson, who also exhibited a beautiful Globe, ef his own workmanship. Gen. MeGill's Staves were admired, whilst the fancy Marble work cf Win. Williams, attracted universal at tention. Glasgow & Steel also exhibited Sad dles, Barnes's, &c., of splendid workmanship, and a double.barrelled rifle, manufitclured by Joseph Douglass, was unsurpassed for beauty of finish. A vary handsome pair of boots man ufactured by Thus. Sorrell of this place com manded attention. In the space allotted for the eftbibiron of vehicles, we noticed a couple of very elegant Carriages, from the extensive manufacture of Alex. Do Armit, Hollidaysburg, They aurae• ted universal admiration, and many were the encomiums passed upon them.

No Thanks to Them, Last spring when it was announced by the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society, that it was the intention of the citizens of this coun ty to hold a Fair in the fall for the exhibition of Mechanical and Agricultural Implements, and any and all kinds of other articles of mer• chandize, &c., the good citizens of our sister county—Little Blair—unsolicitell on our part agreed to join with us, and send articles hither designing or rather expecting that we would return the compliment. Due notice was giveu ample time was appointed them for contribu ting whatever they might choose to send. With the exception of one or two contributors— Blair County was entirely unrepresented in our late exhibition. Now we do not care a brass farthing, that our fellow•citizens of Blair did not live up to their proposals, because we have the honor of our glorious, magnificent, incomparable, exhibition all to ourselves, but it betrays a certain ungenerous, unsocial feel ing in the people of Blair County. We do not draw conclusions hastily, but we verily be lieve that the spirit which actuated the citizens of Blair arid induced to withhold their articles, was by no means a total inselfish one. We are strengthened in this opinion by the glaring fact, that nut a single mention is made instil the papers of that county of our intruded exhibi bition, until just one week previous to the hol• ' cling of the same; and then the very notices whirls were made were calculated to turn dam per upon and discourage such us had intended contributing. Perhaps we softy have the op. portunity of returning "an eye fpr no eye" next fall when our friends of little Blair, shall con. view for "big pumpkins" soil shall invite the co operation of all friends of agriculture. We notice this merely for the purpose of ascertaining the true fact of the case. Our attention was called to it in the first Floes by a number of our rural district friends, who ap patently expected that Blair Co., would be ex tensively represented, and were disagreeably disapiminted. Perhaps our worthy mends Major Raymond, of the Whig, or his Honor Judge Jones of the Registerr may throw a I it tle light upon this subject, and explain things satisfactorily. Look Out for Fan. It will no doubt be recollected that the Globe published a "Cireulai" p,e , ieus to the late elec. lion purporting to have been the voice of eer Mtn Whims Of Ilual.inmd.sa Ctastatv.whgima were thereunto affixed, under the hypocritical falsehood that we tifesed publishing it. The paper in question, was never sent to us for pub. lication, and the only notice that we ever had, that such paper existed, was its puhlieutbm and appearance in the Glebe. It now appears that the names on the paper were either forged or procured through misrepresent:al.. Th., getters up of this document, were a certain man in this borough, who boo been supported by the Whig party ever since he has been able to suck the public teat, and handle the public mosey, and a certain individual of Peters'aurg, who has had the control of the Globe' a columns ever since the.opening of the late caMpaign. Some of the signers of the "Circular" called upon the editor of the Globe lust week, tech desired hint to give up the paper, which lie re. fused doing. One of the signers assured us: most positively, that as soon as convenient he intends prOsecutin;.; the individuals who roar plotted the diabolical outrage, fur forgery on. cos. they publicly make known the fact, that they used his same for the furtherance of a cause he ablinred. Wu would give the latter gentleman credit, should he proceed in this case, us he appears determined on doing. Result of the Election. The following are the latest we hate; they indicate large gains for the democratic party. This is no doubt of the election of Mr. Pin met., the Democratic candidate fur Canal Coin. missioner and both branches of the Legislature will be strongly Democratic. In Allegheny county the entiro Loco Foco ticked is reported to bo elected. _ _ In Cambria the Loco Foco majority in said to be from 700 to 1100. In Bedford, tho Loco rams have gained n little over 13igler's vote lest year. In Montgomery,a telegraphic despatch states the vote for Canal Commissioner to be—Plumer Democrat, 5013 ; Nicholson, Fusion, 3300. Plumer's majority, 1513.

Tho expedition under the renowned of Dr. Kane, sent out by United States Govern• ment some two )cars ago, to teach ,T. Franklin, returned on tho 11th inst. Dr. I".. had pushed his ve , sel, the Rescuer, ns 111, no latitude 81, where she was frozen in. J. mained by her all winter; sending to 11,. I , an villages for provisions. In the sprin Ihe party abandoned the ship and made their way southward, in sledges tit rpernovik, and front thence they were conveyed in a Danish vessel to the Island of Disco, mud where they were found by the searching expedition. Three of the party died, and the remainder trete more or less frostbitten, They report the last winter unusually severe in the Arctic rug. ions, and that many of the natives perished front exposure and starvation. No traces what. ever were discovered of Sir John Franklin. KANZAS POLITICS.—Thera is more excite• ment in lianzas and more trouble brewing.— Gov. Reeder has consented to run as the Anti- Slavery candidate for Congress, mid that party have selected the time for the election one week later than the Legislature fixed. There. hire there will be two election days, and two Delegates elected, the validity of which must be decided by Congress. Gov. Reeder ac• cepted the nomination in a patriotic speech, which was enthusiastically received by the con. gregated hundreds.

She made no confession of her guilt. We have not thought it worth while to give long string of the reports of the various Counties in regard to the election, to the ex. elusion of other matter.
