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tion,, and temporarily superseded or subortlina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he repealed or maintained, and though this is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.,

THE COUNTY FAIR.
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

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

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.

teat to Whigs was the strengthening of their
own purty, unit we predicted that as soon as the
election woo over, should it prove victorious to
them, the Whigs would be entirely forgotten.—
Such has Leen the case ut Isnsat is this county.
No sconce lied the eleetien of Plurner
and the election of a Legishtthre composed of
"F usiottithe," became cerminties, then the Lo

KANZAS POLITICS.—Thera is more excite•

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.

under sentence of death', for the murder of her
husband, by administering a dose of arsenic,
to him, whilst sick, died on Thursday lust.—
and was buried in an out lot. 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. They are all merely
conjectures at best—nothing reliaLle being
in them. Next week we shall give the cfficial
