From the N. Y. Express of the 22d. Maine Election-« The Question Settled. Returns have now been received from every town in the State except three or four, which do not throw more than one hundred votes in all, and the result is that Kent is elected by a majority of about 400 over Fairfield. The scattering votes are few. The Portland Advertiser states that only ten have been heard from so far. There can no longer be anyfdoubtthat Kent is elected by the people. What will be the number of scattering votes, cannot now be determined, but probably it will not exceed 100. In case there should be no choice by the people, the House of Representatives present to the Sen ate the names of the two persons having the high est number of votes, and that body makes choice of one. As the Senate is Whig, Mr. Kent will in cither case be the next Governor. From the N. Y. Express of the 23 d. Further. The discrepancies between us and the Loco Foco Journals, which do not admit the Election of Kent, and do not claim the Election of Fair field, are occasioned by differences of from one to ten votes in some «f the Towns. It will be im possible to prove ourselves right till the official returns are opened in January by the Legislature. In the meantime, it is an affair of no importance as a Whig Senate positively secures the election of Kent, taking the Loco Foco admission of “no choice.” The returns the Loco Foco Presses now give are but to ease their fall; and as the official returns cannot begot at (ill January, they will cling to their cry of “ no choice,” as in 1837. From the*Boston Mer. Jour, of Tuesday Evening' It is not yet fully and clearly decided to the satisfaction of all concerned, that Kent is elect ed Governor of Maine—although it is pretty ev ident that Fairfield is not elected Governor.— The Eastern Argus of yesterday publishes re turns from nearly all the towns, and makes the votes for Kent. 44,253 ; Fairfield, 44.280—thus • giving Fairfield a small plurality. On the other hand, the Atlas of this morning states with con fidence, that Kent is elected, and gives the re turns from all the towns, as follows; Kent, 45,- 397: Fairfield, 45,052 —making Kent’s majority 345. The Philadelphia Inquirer states that Mr. Norris, the celebrated engine manufacturer of that citv, has just received an order from Frankfort on the Oder, in Germany, for fifteen of his best locomo tives. This Is indeed gratifying, and tells well for American ingenuity abroad. What has become of the “ Democracy of num bers ?” We hear nothing of this once favorite phrase novr-a-days from the partizans of Van Bu ren. The tune is changed. The recent elections have changed it. “ Tell us, ye self-styled Demo crats, can they be the Democracy who are confes sedly a minority of the People ? They may be radicals, or destructives, or Federalists in disguise —but is it not paradoxical to call them the Democ racy ? Hunt up your Lexicons, gentlemen Locos, and look at the derivation of the word, and see if it does not mean the People. and then answer if a minority' of the People is or can be the People.”— Hartford Democrat. The following gentlemen wcr f - on Monday, the 14th inst. elected members of the Town Council of Aiken, to serve for one year:—lntendant Capt, Wm. Robertson, Jr. W r ardcns—Stephen Owens, Jas. Tapper, Lewis Jones, Jr, 8. Lee Al lison. Foreign Mails.—Mails for Liverpool will he despatched from the Boston Post office on the Ist of every month, and on the 15th of March, April, May, June, July, August and September. Letters, directed to any person or to the care of any person in Groat Britain or France, can be forwarded from any Post Office in the United States, by mailing them to Boston for distribution, post paid to Boston. A New Tariff of Prices.— The iron mas ters, and those connected with the business m the citv of Pittsburgh, entered into, within a few days, a new tariff of prices, at an advance of half a cent per pound or ten dollars per ton, on all kinds of iron manufacture. A similar increase is asked for pig lead. Major Eaton. This warm, and zealous supporter, and friend of Gen. Jackson and his Administration, has, since his return, taken a decided stand against the measures of Mr. Van Buren and his re-eleclion. We copy the following from among many notices of his re cent efforts before the people, in the cause of Har rison and Reform. From the Columbus (Ohio) Journal , Sept. 15. Major Eaton.—This distinguished gentle man stopped in our city, last evening, on his way to Tennessee. He was waited upon by a large number of our citizens, who were anxious to pay their respects to a man whose name has been so conspicuous in American politics. He is decided ly for Gen. Harrison, and that too above all dis guise. Ho made a short, oil-hand address to a large assemblage collected to hear him at the Log Cabin. It seemed to tell with great effect upon his audience, ami he was frequently greeted with decided manifestations of applause. He said he was always a Republican, and spoke of the warm and firm attachment he had always felt and still feels for Gen. Jackson. He spoke of the prosperity of the country when he left it four vears ago—of the change that has come over it since. He alluded to the standing army project as anti-republican and dangerous— and of the coalition between Van Buren and Cal houn in terms of disapprobation. He also spoke of the tariff and United States Bank, and said Gen. Harrison occupies precisely the same ground in relation to the latter that President Madison did. He said he was in the United States Senate when John Randolph charged Gen. Harrison with federalism, and heard Harrison promptly repel the charge. He said he was glad to see the People determin ed to“ rein in ” the present Administration in its wild career. He said he should support Gen. Harrison because he thought him the most re publican, and because a reform is needed in the administration of the General Government. He was decidedly for a “ change.” We have but briefly alluded to the subjects of his speech, without being able to do more at pres ent. He said a great deal in a short space, and the ground he took was altogethei manly and above-board. Heavy Charges.—Martin Van Buren stands charged on the books of the Treasury of the United States, with the following suras paid him as compensation, \ iz: Pav and mileage as Senator ) „„ in the 17th Congress. i 52 ' 576 00 Do. in 18th Congress, 2,824 00 Do. in the 19th do. 2,712 00 Do. in Ist session 20th do. 1,728 00 Salary as Sec Tv of state from } 197 . q March 1829 till March 1831, > UU Out-fit and salary as Minister J 1Q .

We condense a statement of losses to the Gov ernment by Receivers of Public Monies for Lands, as reported to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury, on the 15th of January, arranged so as to show the loss during each administration, commencing with that ot Mr. Adams. Total defalcations in Land Receivers, §966,596 23 Loss before Mr. J. Q. Adams’ ad minis'.ratio.i, 195,521 12 “ duiing his administration, 4 y’rs, 52,737 21 “ during Gen. Jackson’s adminis tration, 8 years 503,001 54 during Van Lmen’s from 4*h of March, 1837, to 26th Jan. 1839, 1 year and 10 months, 215,336 36 This shows the defalcations in this department, during Mr. Adam’s administration at §l3 184 a year—under Gen. Jackson’s §62,750 a year, and under Van liuren’s at the rate of §117,456 a year, or upwards of nine times as much as under Mr. Adams’. And many of these defaulters have been continued in office increasing their defaults, because they were efficient electioneerers.— Cin cinnuti Gazette. Western Wit.—The great excitement in the West brings out much originality on their Banners, and in political meetings- At Dayton (Ohio,) one Banner represented Amos Kendall on his back, his heels in the air, his hat falling off, and Extra Globes tumbling forth— motto, “ charge along the whole line.” One person had on the top of a long pole a purse four or five feet in length, filled with the shin plasters ot the present day—motto ; “ALL BUT THE GOLD.” In one of the Log Cabins was o. hve wolf Wwh a sheep skin tied on him—motto ; “A PATENT’ DEMOCRAT.” One banner represented GENERAL Crary, on a poor bob-tail poney, with a shot gun in his hand, valiantly charging upon a water melon. Another represented Van Buren running down hill, his locks and coat tail streaming in the wind, and a barrel of “hard cider” after him;” he was crying out “stop that barrel.” Upon another were the letters “K K O K.” this was too hard for us and we asked the bearer its meaning ; he told us it meant kan’t koine it over Korwin. Sinnplasters and Morality.— ‘ Speaking of shinpiasters,” said a speculative friend ofours yesterday, “the evil of them is not confined to the injury done to the public pocket, neither to that inflicted on the public morals. The social moral ity of the private circle has suffered from it. Time was,” said he, “ when a gentleman dared not mention a plaster of any kind in a mixed company, much less a shinplaster, —the disgus ting expression would not be tolerated for a mo ment; but now the ladies all over town, of every grade and all ages, talk about shinpiasters with out reserve, and as glibly as about silks and sat ins in every cry goods stores.—Thus too is our language perverted, words being turned from their original uses, and made to express ideas not belonging to them ; and thus might any prohibi ted words and phrases, connected with immoral or indecent ideas, be familiarized to the ear of the moral, the delicate and the pure.” The Plague in Rome.—The Boston Trans cript says,—“A gentleman of this city, who came passenger in the Britannia, informs us that he had proceeded as far as Florence on his way to Rome, but hearing that the plague was raging se verely in Rome, and that it would be extreme!}' dangerous to proceed thither, he returned back and took passage for Boston in the Britannia. Pj stressing Shipwreck —The brig Apollo, of Biddeford, bound from Savannah for the Isle of Man, with lumber, went on ashore Long Island, near Cape Inlet, on Saturday the 19th inst. The Captain ami five men were dead, and the mate nearly dead, and three men only were left to man age the vessel. We have been politely furnished with the fol lowing excellent letter, from Rev Mr. Mosely, m reply to an invitation extended him by the Mari on county Whigs, to be with them at their late Barbecue. It is a good letter, such a one as does honor to the head and heart of the plain republi can who penned it. Bear Creek, Henry Co., August 18. Gentlemen: —Your kind favor of the 14th is before me, and I assure you it would afford me great pleasure to comply with the request it con tains, and meet my fellow citizens of Marion. But at present it is out of my power. lam “Cor responding Messenger” to several associations and were I to neglect my religious duties to at tend to political matters, it would give our oppo nents an opportunity to assail me, with success. So long as I “ render to Ccesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God s I shall bid them defiance. It is a matter of surprise to me that any man, with the evidence before him contained in the his tory of our Government, as regards its rise, foun dation, progress and unexampled prosperity, should wish to support a man that not only con templates, but is actually engaged in effecting, a change in the system adopted by W ashington and Jefferson and Madison and Monroe a sys tem the value of which has been proved by its successful operation; for under it vve as a nation have rrtisen from poverty and wretchedness, to wealth, intelligence and a degree of prosperity un exampled in the history of the world. With the evidence before their eyes, that derangement, dis tress and disorganization, have attended every step of the proposed change, we are gravely told by our youthful politicians that the system of our government, as introduced by those ancient wor hies, was unconstitutional. If so, it follows, that those men did not understand the very con stitution they aided in forming, else they were base enough to swear to support it, and then dis regard their oaths I Isit not passing strange that Jackson when Sen ator to Congress, did not discover that the Bank and Credit System were unconstitutional, and though under all the solemnities of an oath, he never did find out that fact until he discovered that Nick Biddle and other Bank officers would not submit to his dictation. (I say the Bank and Credit System because if you reduce our circu lation to gold and silver, I think I hazard nothing in saying down goes the credit system and with it the brightest prospects of all the poor young men of the country. J But are we authorized to believe that Jackson was sincere in his pre tensions as regards the unconstitutionality of the Bank? I think not. What does he say when ho vetoed the act rc-chartering the bank I In substance, “if you had called on me, I would have presented a plan that would have met their exclusive approbation.” Now, some kind of a Bank was constitutional; and if the dictator had been consulted, what sort of a Bank would it have been, think you ? Why it wmuld have been a Bank without Nick Biddle at its head — just such a one as Mr. Van Buren now wants, one over which the President would have had control. It would have been based on the treasury of the country and been just what we now have, a gov ernment Bank. Look at the Sub-Treasury ! A hard money currency with a batch of treasury notes as a circulating medium. The office-hol ders and government contractors will get the gold and silver, and sell it at ten to twenty per cent profit for Bank notes, with which to pay poor men who labor. The hard money will soon all find its way into the vaults of the Indepen dent Treasury, and there it will be independent. sure enough, of you and me and all of us! Give b in then his treasury notes to hoard up or issue at pleasure, and he will control the prices of preperty and wages and every thing, at his pleasure. Then add his army of 200,000 Mili tia to all (his, and farewell to independence— farewell to prosperity and liberty ! Gentlemen, I hope the freemen of Georgia are not prepared to bow down at the footstool of any man who favors such proceedings! I know that by the active course I am taking in this contest I am bringing down the execra tions of many—some of my brethren have suf fered it to interfere with their feelings. Butnone of these feelings shall move me; I look upon it as a contest of liberty against despotism—of vir tue against vice, and neither do I hold my life dear unto me so that I finish my course with joy, and perpetuate the liberties and institutions of my country, so far as my efforts can go, to the latest generations. I am, gentlemen, with considerations of great respect, vour obedient servant. WILLIAM MOSELEY. To Messrs. William Wells, Kichen Mc- Kennry, and John M. Minter, Committee. Electric Telegraph. — A telegraph worked by electricity is in operation on the Great Western Railway, between Drayton and Paddington in England, by which news is conveyed at the ra ! e of two hundred thousand miles per second, or eight thousand times quicker than light travels during the same period. Electrical currents pas sing through coils of copper wire placed imme diately behind some magnetic needles, arc made to operate upon a circular series of twenty let ters, which indicate such terms, either separately, or collectively, as they have been arranged to rep resent. This telegraph will act day and night, in all states of the weather, and with such rapi dity that one minute only is required for the com munication of thirty signals. An Incident. —The Louisville Journal states that while Gen. Harrison was addressing the tremendous crowd at Dayton, on the 10th instant, the mail arrived with a letter for a leading Whig in the crowd, giving the particulars of the glori ous victory in V ermont. Old Tippecanoe paus ed in the midst of his eloquence, and the letter was read in a loud tone from one of the speakers’ stands. Mighty, beyond description, was the shout that followed. Seventy-five or eighty thousand voices mingled in one long and startling thunder peal. Mr, Jaudon. —The London correspondent of the New York Courier says:—“l believe that Mr. Jaudon goes out in the Great Western on her next voyage to New York—but only on a v isit, and to return to England on the return of the same steam-ship,—This gentleman will be enabled to give valuable views to his friends—as he is allow ed by the London capitalists to be a man of very expanded mind—and in the late difficulties of American monetary affairs, he has served his country well. The Tulip Manta. —From the year 1734 to 1737, the tulip speculation raged in Holland to a still gieater extent, if possible, than the mu ti cauiis speculation did in this country, two or three years ago. Many of the Dutch, from the greatest to the meanest, disposed of their all to er >gage in the trade. The tulips sold at most extravagant prices. A Spanish cabinet valued at £IOOO, and £3OO besides, were once given for one of the Semper Augustus variety ; and another gentlemen sold three stalks of the same flower lor £IOOO. A collection of tulips w r ere sold by the executors of an estate, for £9OOO, or about $45,000 Roheut Burns’ BiaLE.—TheMontreal Her ald of I uesday last says;—“We mentioned in yesterday s Herald that the Bible presented by the immortal Burns to his Highland Mary was pur chased by a few of his countrymen in the city. .They met on Monday evening, and agreed that the sacred relic should he transmitted to the Pro vost of Ayr, to be by him deposited in the Mon ument on the Banks of the Doon, as an humole of fering from Scotchmen in Montreal, at the shrine of Scotland’s Bard.” Defalcation in France. Mr. Walsh, in one of his late letters to the ed itors of the National Intelligencer, gives the fol lowing instance as a specimen of the rigour with which defalcation is treated in France: “ Having treated of juries and trials, I will im prove the occasion to mention a criminal case (of the 22d inst.) which occurred at the Cou-t of Assizes of the Seine. It is that of a ATr. Durand, collector of the direct taxes of the first district of Paris, charged with having appropriated to his own use, or embezzled the public money to the amount of thirty thousand francs, six thousand dollars. He is about sixty years of age and had borne an excellent character. He appeared at the bar with the decoration of the Legion of Honor which the Chief Judge, though it was duly ob tained for old public services, compelled him to withdraw at o.:~e, as the law suspends all the civil rights of one arraigned for crime. The em bezzlement began in 1828. and proceeded by an nual sums of from 2,000 to 3,000, 4,000 to 5,000 francs portions being replaced from lime to time; unlucky speculations out of his office betrayed him into the speculation. He showed that he and his family expended for their subsistence on ly three thousand francs per annum : a number of witnessess attested the general morality and respectability of his life. The lawyers exerted themselvesand con.; three hundred and six ty questions or points were submitted to the jury, who, after three hours of deliberation brought in at two o’clock in the morcing, a verdict of guilty against Durand but acquitted his Clerk, also a member of the Legion of Honor, (includ ed in-the indictment,) on the ground of non-par ticipation inthedesign or object of falsifying en tries, &c. The Court sentenced Durand to eight years of hard labor in the galleys, exposition on the pillory, a fine of four thousand francs, and ad ditional twelvemonth of imprisonment if the fine were not paid. The President or Chief Judge finished by this address to him : ou have been wanting to honor ; I pronounce in the name of the Legion of Honor that you have now ceased to be a member thereof.” I cite this case to show how defalcation is treated in France. The advanced age, the moral repute, the domestic fru gality, tne old public service of Durand, entitled { him to all the lenity compatible with the law and public weal. In the United States, the public exchequer has been, ever since the administra tion of Washington, robbed by public functiona ries, and others indirectly; who wallowed in luxury, with impunity such as to form the strong est contrast. Under your new Sub-Treasury system you will have more receivers of public money than heretofore. You must think of the salutary rigor exercised in this monarchy.” An Irishman’s Dream. —We have good au thority for the following anecdote : In Newark, Ohio, lives a son of the “ Green Isle of the Ocean,” who has some shrewdness and wit, and more honesty and candor. He had been, up to the last week, a supporter of Van Buren. The light, however, burst upon him, and he acknowledged the claims of Harrison to the support of the American people. As soon as he had made the fact known, the Postmaster called on him, and said to him— “ Friend James, is it true that you have left our ranks and gone over to those Whigs'?” “ And sure it is, honey. Did ye not hear of my dhrame ?” “ Why, sure now, an’ I dhramed when I was asleep, that the spirit of the great Washington, the greatest man that iver was born, came to me, and he says to me, in as goed Inglish as ye iver heard spoken, siz he, ‘James Malone, oh! why will ye be aflher opposing me brave boy that I appointed to office myself, to help Mad Anthony to wl ip the bloody savages off the very ground ye stand on, an’ all the time ye been tryin’ to keep that spalpeen of a Van Buren in me seat, to be a disgrace to it all the days *f his life ?’ ” “Answer me that, honey.” “An’ siz I, ‘is Gineral Harrison ycr biave hoy, an’ did j’e appoint him to office ycr own self, an’ did ye love him V “Sure, an’ I did,” siz he. “ Thin,” siz I, “ I crave yer pardon, Gineral Washington, an’ all uv the likes ov ye, for I be lieved that story was all a Whig lie, as our Post master, the spalpeen, said it was. Sure, thin, I will oppose yer brave boy no longer, hut will do ivery thing I can for him, bless yer honor, an’ peace to yer sowl. An’ thin he smiled, and wint away p'eased with Jimmy.” “ Pshaw,” said the Post-master, “ the devil of whiskey has been in you.” “ An’ there has been no divii of whiskey at all at all in me, boy ; hut there’s one very near me, an’ if ye don’t mind yer eye, he will rise up and strip the pea-fowl feathers from yer dirty carcase, that he will—bad luck to ye,” —Wheeling Gaz. The Merchants of New York are to have a meeting to-day, and Daniel Webster is to address them. A an Burenism.— The Claremont Eaglestates that Mr Colton, the Postmaster at Hartford, V t., has been turned out of office, because he would not subscribe fifteen dollars towards a Van Bu ren paper at Woodstock ! Never have vve seen any thing so thoroughly aroused as the democracy are at the present lime. — Globe. Probably you never saw a basket of eels with a shovel of live embers thrown ever thorn. —Pren - tice. Samuel Cushman, who during the last war, said, “ he hoped to God every A rnerican who cros sed the lines into Canada would leave his bones there,” has been appointed Receiver of Public Monies by Martin Van Buren. —Louisville Jour nal. Let parents read the following paragraph, and mark it well: “Childhood is like a mirror— catch ing and reflecting images from all around it Re member that an impious or profane thought, ut tered by a parent’s lip, may operate upon a young heart like a careless spray of water thrown upon polished steel, staining it with rust, which no af ter scouring can office.” A New Cotillion— Howto dunce it. — First couple forward, wheel and fire—second couple, ditto—alamodo at the corners—nose-your-nosc— gentlemen cross hands, and ladies kiss over—right and wrong—pussey—lemonade all—first couple canter round the whole p«ssc comitatus—second ditto—third ditto—fourth ditto—bob your cocoa nuts, and then go to roost.—A*. Y. Mer. The Temperance Cause in Ireland.— The progress of the Temperance Reform is rapid as ever in Ireland. Our late accounts are of the most cheering character. The converts were in creasing in number, while the violators of the pledge were few and far between. A great mee ting was recently held at Moate, at which Dr. Higgins addressed 25,000 persons. Another Lexington Sufferer. —The re mains of a man fi ated on shore a few days since at Wading River, L. I. A watch was in the pocket of the pantaloons, and in one of the hoots, ‘ E. B.
