AUGUSTA .
WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 11.
Pie-id*;ntiai Election.
S' The National Intelligencer o. Saturday says :
—We to-day have the satisfaction to add the
name of .\ew Jersey to the list of Slates which
are already ascertained to have rendered a verdict
of condemnation against the Administration of
Marxist Vax Rcrejt. She has spoken in a
voice loud and decisive —such as became her pe
culiar wrongs. She records a majority (unpre
cedented ot lute sears) of 2,000 voles in saver of
Ha Kill SOX.
We may add to this gain of New Jersey, the
strong probability of having also carried Pesji
siltaxu, New York, and Maine.
Os the first named of these three, (Pennsylva
nia,) without repeating in detail the list of coun
ties and corrected majorities, we will only stale
that the National Gazette extra of Thursday
evening and the United States Gazette of yester
day morning claim the Slate in positive terms by
a majority ofbetween 300 and 500, and furnish
authentic data to sustain their assertions. All our
information coroborates their opinion.
In regard to New York, although the result in
a few of the counties heard from is less favorable
to the Whig cause than was anticipated, it is far
less fa'orabieto the Administration than that par
ty claimed. Several of the New York papers
of Thursday evening express the opinion that
the State has unquestionably gone for Harris n.
and we may add (what we believe is the fact)
that the Administration party here in Washing
ton give it up.
New York.
The Charleston Courier of yesterday says:—
The whig papers of the 6th admit their disapp int
ment as to many of the counties, especially the
river ones, in which me Van Buren party have
gained largely; but insist the aggregate Van Bur
■en gain is not enough to affect tlie general result.
The Commercial Advertiser of .he 6th, (after
noon) gives returns from 28 counties, showing a
Van Buren rnaj »rily of 1678; the same coun
ties gave a whig majesty of 1079 in 1838—whi
loss 2397. The remaining counties to be hemd
from gave, in 1838, a whig majority of 9326.
which the Van Buren parly mus. overcome to
elect their candidate.
I.AT HR FROM NEW YORK.
Since we penned the precedii g remarks, we
h .ve received the N Y. Weekly Hi raid. (Extra)
of tne 7th inst., which gives us the resul* M its
special Expiess from Utica, “that the b at. of
New York nas cast her electoral vote for General
Ha rrLon. although there is every reason to be
lieve that Gov. Seward lias fist his election—lie
having run behind bis ticket in every town and
•county heard from.” The Heralu then gives a
table of elect ral votes, in which it sets down the
following Slates hs having chosen, or being cer
tain to choose Harris n Electors, viz:—Onio 21;
New York 42; Kentucky 15; Maryland 10;
M hue 10; Indiana 9; Connecticut -8; Rhode
Is; oui 4; \ew : Jersey 8; Massachusetts 14; Ver
mont?; Delaware 3; North Carolina 15—total
165 —lB more than necessary to elect, without
counting Georgia 11, which has .also chosen
J lairison Electors.
The Herald adds—“ The particular causes
which have produced the defeat of the Whig par
13' in the Stale of New York, while Gen. Harri
son has got the State, we shall horeerfler exam
ine at full lenght.”
The Herald, in its regular pub ication of
the day before, announced that the probable suc
cessor Mr. V an Buren in New York, but under
its Special Express IraJ gave a version, similar
to that in its Saturday’s issue.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says:—
“ There is no longer a doubt that the electoral
vote of Maine will be given for Harrison, by a
decided majority,” ami gives returne confirmato

gives returns from 182 towns, shewing a W hig
gain of 760.

The Richmond Whig, of the 7th inst., gives
actual returns from 79 counties, shewing a Van

1836 gave ® Van Buren majority of 38G5. The
remaining counties, in 1836, gave a Van Buren
majoiity of 3i9€.
The Compiler, of same date, gives returns
from 6ffcounties. shewing a Van Buren majority
of 2611. In 1836 the same counties gave a Van
Buren majority of 4131. Whig gain 1526.
The remaining counties, in 1836, give V an Bu
ren a majority of 4231.
The Globe, of ihe 6 h. gives returns from 82
counties, making the Van Buren majority, so far

Nothing could be more exciting and animating

Some of its hiof re 7 ommendations are:

2d. Its cheapness* the cost of building one of
the i: rgest class not lu-mg more than about $250.
3 i. The litt.e instruction which the common la

damages, which might o cur by wear or otherwise

6th. The building is very short, and travels
along over the log, which is gently raised upon
skids or blocks, u: on which the tree is felled. One
letter says it is o ily S or 10 feet long.
7th. It can be set in motion ny any kind of pow

The following is a copy of tlie note recently
addn seed by M. I'liieis to M. Guizot, the arubas
t sador fiotn Louis P.dhp to this country :
s! Paris, October 8, 1840.
. I Monsieur I’Amhassadeur—The grave quest! n
i which pre-occupies at this momcni ihe attention
r | of all D irties, has assumed an aspect alluge.her
s new. since tlie reply made hy the Forte to the
i | concessions offered hy tin* Viceioy of Egypt.
, Mrhemet Ali, in reply to the summons of the
I j Sultan, has declared that he submilled to the
i will of his auiiust master, that he accept the he
- reditary possession of Egypt ; and that he placed
s ; tnrnselt, with respect to me remainder of the
. 1 territories actually in his occupation, entirely at
, the magnanimity of the Sultan.
,- | We leave mane known to the British Cabinet
I the interpretation which must he put upon this
1 mode of expres-ing nirnself; and although JVle
i hemet Ali would not consent to declare immnli
| ately the full cx’ent of the concessions to which
! he had been led to agree hy ihe pressing recom-
mend.itions of France, we have taken upon our
selves to make them known, and we have an
nounced that the Viceroy resigns hansel! to the
necessity of accepting the hereditary sovereignty
of Egypt, and the possessions during his lite ot
I Syria ; at the same time consenting to arandon
immediately Can ia, Adana, and the Holy Cities.
We must also add that had the Fore adhered to
this arrangement, we would at once have con
sented to guarantee its fulfilment in concert v hh
; tbe Powers which are occupied in determining
tne future condition of the Ottoman empire.—
[ Every enlightened mind was struck, by the loyal*
! ty of Fiance, who, notwithstanding she was tor
i' ced ? o proceed on a separate patn, nev. r ceased
to exe ci -e iier influence to bring about a solution,
at once moderate and pacific of the Oaenlal
question; nor has the wisdom which guided the
Viceroy m listening to the dictau b of prudence
’ and moderation been less a; predated by the high
intelligence ot Europe.
In reply to these concessions, the Porte,either
acting spontaneously, or else swayed by hasty
and inconsiderate counsels, pn ffered on the spot
at the moment —the P r.e, I repeat —lx lute any
reference could bo made to the allied Powers, re
plied to the submissive answer ol ihe Viceroy, by *
declaring bis deposition. Such a step equally
outrageous and unexpected, goes beyond even
I the spirit of the treaty of July 15. and exceeds al
so the most extraordinary results winch have
been expected to arise out ot that document.
This t'eaty which F-ance was not able to in
voke inasmuch as she had never auhered to or
recognized it but which she now brings into no
{ tice to the purpose of showing the rapidity with
which the sub cribiug parties have been drawn
intuits most dangerous < onsequenres—this trea
ty. in the event of an absolute .efusai on the part
ot the Viceroy to comply with one arid ali of
its conditions. gave the Porte the faculty of with
drawing its first prop .sals, end of noting as it
deem most advantageous to its interests accord
ing to the cousr Is of the allied Powers. Put
«tl!l there weip two supposed contingencies in
volved in his treaty namely, an ah-olute and
pre cm p ory telusal on every one ot the points
i ' ontai >ed in it. on the part of the Vic> rov. and a
I con equem retort nee to the four Powe for ad
vice. No'hing of ihe kind. however. has taken
j place. Ihe \ icemy Inis not off. led an ao-olute
reiusal and tne Sultan has not even given Inm
s it the time to concert a reply in conjunction wnh
bis allies. He met unhoped for cuiictssti ns by
an act of deposition.
The four Povvc's could not approve of such
conduct, ai d we know in effect that several of
them have a'ready expressed their disapprobation
of it. L >rd Palmerston has caused a communi
cation to he made loom Cabinet, luat vve must
only lo k upon this pro< ceding in the light id a
i th eat f Cnmnuuniore._J without any necessary
or eilective consequences. The fount d Appony,
in an interview which I had with him on lius
i subject, annouced to me that the same opinion
was ente tainod by his Cabinet of tbe proceeding.
V\ e liave willingly taken cognizance of ll is wise
in'iiiia'ion, and we now seiz ; the oppuMunity of
staling the intentions oi Frame with respect to
this mailer.
France has declared that she will use everv
means in her power to preserve the peace and
balance ot power in Europe. Now is toe
tme for her to explain clear y what meaning this i
declaration is to have, fn accepting vv ih a reli
i gious fidelity, the -tate of Europe such as is set
tler) by exising treaties, France has understood,
tbet during this general peace which lias nappdy
prevailed since 1815 ttiis stale should not he

•mo of the existing Powers. It has her n under
i this impresssion tha' she has always declared in
favor of preserving the Ottoman empire; tire
I I urkFli people hy their national qua-ilies, amply
1 merited n.i their own account alone, respect for
| the independence of mat kingdom; but apart from
this consideration the dearest interests of Europe
were bound upin the continued existence of Tur
key. This empire, in being prostrated, could be
made subservient to the uegrandisem nl of the
adjoining slates, to the detriment of tbe general
equilibrium, and her fall would have occasioned
| such a change in the existing proportion of the
| great Powers as to alter the aspect ol the globe
altogether France, ami the otner Powers in
I common with her so strongly leu this contingent

A Good Newspaper.
t The T\ev. Mr. Burnap in his “Lectures to
V Young Men,” says :
e "‘Perhaps I ought to beg pardon of the shade
-of Herodotus when I avow, that I consider (ho
t yearly contents of one good newspaper, as more
a valuable than all he ever wrote.” His reason for
• this high compliment to the press is, that the his
tory of one’s own times, to lie found in the jour
nals of the day, is more important to him than
the history of past ages. The latter is not with
out its share ot impoitancc, for though the histo
ry of t e past, no matter how remote may be ac
counted curious reading, yet it is t:ol merely so.
—As a discipline of the mind alone it is u&eful;
but it is in the lessons which it teaches the reve
r lat ons of character whim it hangs out for the
1 guidance of States, shewing the havens to be
1 sought, and the shoals, rocks, whirlpools and
j quicksands to be avoided, that its greatest impor
i lance consists.
. Apart from these uses, the perusal of the hi—
tory of the part is no better than novel reading,
i but viewed as an aid, in shaping present conduct,
; studied in connection with current history, it ap
-3 nears to us not only important, but indispensable
1 to both the tMaie-man ami Moralist—to all whose
• position and abilities enable them to attest the
. public mind and the public interests, for weal or
i woe. And we have no doubt, that the reverend
author himself is of the same opinion : while we
; I agree fully with him, that historical reading
i | ‘-should begin n i with the ancient, but with tne
(men of our own nines.” lie c then we ,re
, j brought hack to the newspapers. It were unne
i cessary *or us to waste words in giving any rea
sons additional to that mentioned by the author,
. for agresing in ids opinion relative to tLe value
of a “good m-wsf per.” Such a one —one tally
i worthy of the name, does contain the cur ent
history of its own times. To deserve the charac
ter, it must be impartial,industrious, seeking tru h,
• and tha only, through eveiy a cessibh avenue.
It must have no partial purpose to serve rt-quir
i mg the aid ofsophistiy in argument, or the per
version ol oceuring facts for its advancement. It
■ must consider iiseifas lighting its lamp not alone
1 for (lu present lime; the munis homed nud« ■ its
i guidance now. will be call* d to act not for them
t selves alone but for posterity ; the tutuse Idstor
i ian will look toil for iiiunmiat;on, to aid in dirtcl
■ ing the conduct ot Ins own limes, by me lesson
it may ffonl. and oiber lands will seated by its
i aid for our present conduct and character; how
- important then does n not appear, that Us lights
shuuldfnol be Saise! To or.e hoid<nj such views tile
i cmhiioii of the newspaper press in the country
- must bring reflections any thing but agreeable. He
• sees both the past and and current history on bis
, own countiy daily falsified, while the passing
i events of all other lahds are given wile, all the
fidelity to truth, which is afforded by tne means
i ot obtaining inhumation; and while ample jus
■ lice is done to the eminent men of other nations,
the benefactors ot his ow ti are treated as it they
were malefectors deserving of the gallows or the
I eniteniiary. He is condemned to the pain of
hearing the odium and the ridicule neaped of his
country ■« character abroad by those who deduce
the charades ol the people at large from
•hat gi»en to our most eminent public men. by
p ntiai historians ot the present lime, hv men here
who would traduce our national faith, injure do
me.-lic business, and ruin our credit in the eves
of oilier nations, if such a course should seem
necessa v to the advancement of a particular pur
pose, such as the obtaimrent of political power
by one party or set »>l men. or the retaining of it,
by another. The public taste has been, and is
last becom.ng improved; and the time is nut dis
tant when a ‘good newspaper,’ deemed l»v one
scholar and gentleman at least, more valuable
tb.i n ail the writings ol Herodotus will nolbe so
great a rarity as at present. People are increas
ing in iiie desire and capacity to exercise tbeir
own judgement ; and they cannot long continue
to purchase falsehood and dictation at a dear rate,
while truth and freedom in mind can he had cheap
