ZJHROMCLL AND SENTINEL.
A U «IISTA.
THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12.
I New York.
The Democratic Press of Saturday says:—The

EIGHT TO TWELVE THOUSAND—Gov
tnvoR Seward’s fr im SIX TO NINE THOU
SAND! This is settled beyond the shadow of a
doubt.
Forty-six counties have been heard from, which
give a majority of 14,119 for GENERAL HAR-
RlSON—twelve counties to hear trom. If they
come in the same as they did in 1838, Harrison s
majority in the Slate, will be reduced to LLE
YEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND
NINETY EIGHT.
In the Southern and Middle portions of our
State (says the Albany Evening Journal) the
conflict has been fierce and desperate. )n no
formor occasion has Locofocoism been so deter
mined and ferocious. To the destructiveness
-their principles, was added a keen appetite for
"spoils.” And to al! this wassuperadded monkt
in unexampled profusion ! All along the River it
was mast lavishly expended. In our own city
they poured it out in constant streams. W here
did this money come from ? The final settle
ment of a Leg-Treasurer’s Account will lurnish „
the answer to this question.
lint the Free, the Glorious, the ever Faith
ful WEST.redeems all! Her triumphant W nig
Majorities, combined with the equally pioud and
triumphant results in Saratoga, Washington*
and Essex, has filled a great r.nd enlightened, out
oppressed and misgoverned Republic, vv.ih joy
and gratitude.
It was rumored in this city last evening, that
the Hon. John C. Clark was defeated, wnich
most happily is disproved by the glorious returns
fiom Chenango.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ELECT El*.
We lose four members of Congress in this
city, one in Dutchess and one m Montgomery,
and gam one in Essex, Clinton and arren, one
in Seneca, two in Onondaga and Madison, and
two in Cortland*., Tompkins, Tioga and Che
mung. The Congressional delegation will re
main the same as before.
ASSEMBLY.
In this Assembly so far, there is a Whig gain
of 10 members, and a Locofoco gain of 12. It
is expected that our majority in the Assembly
wid be reduced to 7.
The Charleston Courier of yesterday says:—
The Harrison electorai ticket has succeeded, in
this Stale, bv a majority of !0 000 or 11,000
votes. The Commercial Advertiser gives re
turns from 52 counties, shewing a Harrison ma
jority of 10,112, being a Whig loss of oiriy 288,
as compared with the election for Governor in
1838. The five counties, remaining to be heard
from, in 1833 gave a Whig raaierity of 100. In
the river, counties the Administration gains were
-so great as at one time to excite the apprehen
sons of the Whigs; but the West has gone al
most en masse for Harrison and.arrested the sup'
posed revolution. Gov. Seward is re-elected
Governor, but has ran behind Gen. Harrison. In
the elections for Congress the W higs have as lar
as ascertained lost, 6 (four of them in the city
of New York.) and gained 4 members of Con
gress —nett loss sc far 2. In the Legislature the
Van Buren party have gained largely—that body
it is supposed, will consist of 56 \\ big*, acid 62
Van Buren in the Assembly. and 21 Whigs and
II Van Buren in the Senate —being a Whig ma
jority of 14 on joint ballot.

This State has also cast her electoral vote for
Harrison, after perhaps the closest contest on
record, on so vast a popular field. A «lip from
the office of the National Gazette, giving inter"
motion from Harrisburg, as late as 12 o’clock,
Friday night, states the Harrison majority at 251.
An extra from the office oi the Philadelphia Nor.A
American, states the majority at 247. Other ac
• counts rate it yet higher, but it cannot possibly
exceed a lew hundreds.

The result in this State is yet doubtful, but
the prohabililiesetroßg in favor of Harrison. The
Boston Atlas of the Sih instant gives returns
■Sewing a Whig gain of 772 in 16:1 towns in
September last, and declares that Maine has gone
for Harrison.

In Greene and Washington, Van Buren’s ma

In Hamilton 135 Hanison majority; Marion

Editor's Correspondence.
Milledgeville, Tuesday Morning, ?
November 10, IS4O. y
The hour at which the mall closes for your city
afforded me no opportunity to furnish you any of
the proceedings of the Legislature of yesterday
The day was, however, principally consun ed in
the introduction and leading of various bills of a
genera! and local character tbs firrt time.
r nj election? are now generally through with,
and the Legislature hats rose to worts —and much
\ v*o. it 1?.0r.t, and here is manifested
. & C-i-pt".. :to n.epaie -rroeh move —which scorns
to increase as .ns session progresses.
It is somewhat amusing to witness the violent
character of some of the measures suggested by the
Van Buren party, for the purpose of enforcing the
resumption of Specie Payments by the Hanks.
Some of them are indeed of the most rabid and
destructive character, which contemplate, in short,
nothing but the absolute destiuclion of those insti
tutions. The house have, however, just referred
by a large vote, all matteis referring to there-;
sumption to the Committee on Banks, when it is j
to be hoped some measure will be suggested, which ;
will, while it assumes high ground on this ques- |
tion, be of such character as to secure the object j
and the best interests of the country. The object i
(political effect) of the movers of some of tnese
bills is too obvious to be mistaken, but the intelli
gence ol the people of Georgia will most assuredly i
mete out to them their just reward.
Another bill introduced by Mr. Hardage,of Hall,
whi- h contemplates a very large reduction of the
salaries of all officers save the members of the Le
gislature, nas excited some little consternation,
and like many of the projects for enforcing the
resumption cf specie payments, is designed to ope
rate upon the politics of the country.
Resolutions cn various subjects connected with !
National politics have been introduced, and are j
now in a state of preparation. By Mr. Dunagan,
the Senator from Hall,denouncing a National Bank
&:c. —which are no doubt tne offsprit g of that Sen
a'or’s own intellect, as they r dicate clearly the
calibre which has sprung them upon the country. 1
Mr. Flournoj-, of Washington, has introduced
resolutions of the instructive character, which you
will find in the papers of this morning, instructing
our Senators, an I requesting oi,r Reprcsentives to
vote for the leoeal < f the Sub Treasury. Opposed
as I always have been, to this extra rdinary foily
m Virginia abstractions, I do hope that the party
in the Legislature of Georgia will iiy no act ac
knowledge the truth of this dangerous, and to my
mind, destruciive doctrine of instructions by a Le
gislature. I hold that they have no such power*
unless elected with special reference to the par
ticular question, and that the per ons instructed
should in no other inst mce obey. Upon tiiis ques
tion, however. 1 shall probably at a future period,
when I have more leisure, submit my views more
fully.
The Houses are going forward in the election of
several Militia Generals.
The hour for closing the mail is so near at hand
that I cannot possibly extend my rem iks to other i
subjects, which have been submitted to the con
side;aiion of the Legislature.
The Merrorial of the citizens of your city on the
subject of Bank resumption, was laid befoie the
House yesterday by Mr. Speaker Jenkins. J.

The Presidential Flection.
GEORGIA HAS DONE HER DUTT !
It was observed by the FEDERAL UNION,
imnamediately alter the election in October lust,
i we give its own language, that" The hard cider,
' and harder gin and whisk y wh rh h ;s been so
f reefy used, will he abandoned by all sober men.
aria S .vember will , we trust, see the people go
to the p’ Us" ‘wide awake and duly sober."’
Well, the people have again spoken, and agaia
has this Federal print,as well as others of a -ike
k dwy. to i hew the cud of dmajipu.nlment and
bitterness’’
GEORGIA has failod do bow the knee/o Baal,”
to worsh p at the footstool of Federal misrule, or
to sustain the “spoils” and “plunder” loving
party of th** Union. If her people were druntt
on the first Monday in October, we hope that in
the recent election, the incre :sed majority which
has been polled in favor of the Harr.son Electo
ral ticket, will suffice to prove to the satisfaction,
even ot the Federal Union, that intoxicating drink
lias not prevented, at least their attendance al the
polls, ll drunk in October, we hope that tbeir
action will prove them to have been sober in No
vember.
In another colum, we present our readers with
the returns as lar as they have been received at
the Executive Office, as uell as from private
sources, it will he seen that our increased ma
jority. in the counties heard from since October
last, is FOUR THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED AMI FI F
tt-fitk —and that there is but little doubt
we sh-di carry the State, by, at ieist EIGHT
THOUSAND votes.
As soon ns all the returns have been received
at the Executive, we shall publish the vote re
ceived by each Elector. Georgia has nobly dis
charged her duly—a duly imperative upon her,
and which she lias cheerfully performed. Her
people without calculating whether the victory

citizen of their own State, or otherwise, have ac

Loss of the Delaware.
We gave yesterday the first intelligence of the
wreck o the Schooner Delaware, the loss of a
part of her crew', and remarkable preservation of
the rest. From capt. Isaac <B. Brookfield, the
master, who called upon us yesterday, we are
now enabled to give further and more correct
(particulars. The Dcleware was command* dby
Isaac Brookfield, who had With him his brother
Charles, and John W . Hoffman, ot Egg Harbor,
who were acting as males. The vessel was

■pi ung a die. d.ul leak and Capsized-—lliC Captain
with two pat.oeiis.ers and two negroes, took to
the sea in one h at, while the brother Charles,
and the other male, Hoffman, together with two
other negioes,leflthesmk.:ng schooner in another.
Capt. Bioumfield atui his companions were at si a

Capt. Bloomfield expresses Iwmseh in terms of
the warmest gratitude lor llieir kind treatment.
They supplied the poor wretched men with loud
and clothing immediately, and from Capt. Hop

most humane attention, ile brought them to the

A diliercm fate betel the other boat, which was
capsized, and t‘ c innominate m. n clung to I lie

they sank into the sea. ar.u the poor mate, Bloom

boat a maniac. When found, his senses were
entirely lost, and tie entreated the people who
came to save him, not to take away liis hoar, for
he was on his way to Galveston, and was having

From the Casket for November.
The lair Jewess.
M. Duresnef. a wealthy and industrious mer
chant, was at work in his counting house one
morning, long before the arrival of his clerks,
1 when he Was disturb* d in his calculations by the
; announcement of M. Salomon. “ Ah, ah !” said
. j the merchant, *' vvh »t. you have come about the
! indigo that we could not agree about yesterday!”
i “ Very clear of it ; I come about a love affair. ’
M. Salomon, divested himself entirely ol busi-
I ness, and pay iug M. Duresnel a visit at six o'clock
| in the morning to talk of a love affair, was a
; thmg so ex!raurdma«y. that ilie honest me<rhai t
j looked at liis visitor wnh an eye of suspicion,
1 much in the same way as in- would have regard
ed a person of unsound mind ; hui Salomon con
! | tinned to speak with that calm sense which dis
tinguished him in all his mercantile transactions.
“ You know, sir, that I arn a Jew, and that I
have two children.”
•• I know your religion, but am not acquainted
with your family.”
4 - My son arrived last night from London,
where he has been residing for the last twelve
I months. My t aughter —ah. sir,she is the pride
and joy of my heart ! She is more beautiful than
H agaror Rachael, mo-e gentle and submissive
man was the daughter of Jeptab. And you, ?ir,
have a sou
“ Yes. bat I do not see—
\on Will se when I tell you he is in love
with my daughter, and that it is on this account
t have intruded on you so early.”
“ Hilaries in love with yourdaughter !”
‘•\es, sir, your Charles loves my Leah: she
ins »old me so herself. What is to he done?—
N ether yon r.or I can allow an acquaintance to
1 <>e k (it up between them if a marriage may not
succeed. I heir fortunes are, possibly, equal,
md the prejudices which exist against our ra^e,
; thanks to enlightened times, are nearly extinct.
’ Hut toe bom licence of the law, which has ex
.ended our privileges, has not the power to alter
: my religious p inciples, and. as 1 have said. I am
1 an Israelite. I cannot ui>e mv hilti to a u ;>n
i; >vho adores Christ ; therefore vou will perceive
that Ido not come to forward ibis marriage. I
would ra’her endeavor to jireveut, and i I judge
you rightly you would do the same.”
M. Duresnel leaned on his bureau, and was tor
a time silent, recalling to mind the distinctive
traits of his son’s character.
“ Charles.” said he. “is honest and candid •
hut hisdisposi ion is ardent and unchangeable
What will be the result of this!” Then, struc k
hv the last words of .M. Summon, he continued.
‘•Yes, of course 1 venerate my own icligion; il
was that of my father, and must be that ot my
grend cniidren.”
“ ,Vell, then, sines v/c are of .he sanro mind
you will think, as I do. that h our duty to separate
»h®so young people. W ouid it I a convenient fer
yea to assd awsy jsur sen \ a a year or trro 1
not, I ntuct part with my Leah. I have a brok
er at Lisbon ; she shall go to him.”
M. Dorc-mel treated will Salomon as he had
done the day before respecting the indigo; he re
quired time. He eould not reasonably enter in
to any engagements until he ;as seen his s« n :
b.i. he promised an answer at the earliest possible j
period, and the two men hunts sepera ed.— VI. {
Duresnel hastened immediately to his wile; hut
the lady, instead of advising flew into a rage.
“A Jewess!” she, exclaimed ; “my Charles wed
a Jewess ? No ! I will not have a Jewess for a
daughter-in-law; the boy shall rather live single
all his life!”
“Spare your indignation, my dear,” said her
husband; “Mr. Salomon would just object as
much to receiving a Christian into his family. ’
Madame was esteemed an excellent woman ; 1
she solicited alms for the poor; confessed twice a
year; and had her name affixed to a chair in the
church of St. Roach.
M. Duresnel had not been able to form any eon- |
elusions as to this matter, nor yet to have an in
terview with his son, before he received another !
unexpected visit. A youtn girl, in tears, rushed \
into hiscounting-honse, ami placed herself in the i
same seat which M. Salomon had occupied a short
time before.
“Oh. sir!” she cried; her bright eyes glistening
through her tears; “where is your son! I con
jure you, let me see him, if only for a moment; I
must speak to him.”
It was Leah, the daughter of M, Salomon, who,
pde and breathless, thus sought M. Duresnel. j
The old merchant was convinced at the first glance
that the Israelite had not overrated the charms ot i
his daujhter. Never had lx-seen more beautiful |
features, nor so fair a complexion, with hair of so j
dark a l.uc. She has the air of a queen, but her
dignity was mingled with graciotisness, and was
at this tint softened by sorrow. . The queen was
lost in the tenderness of the woman ; lor some-,
thi g of more consequence to Leah than a king
dom was at stake—the lives of two persons whom
she loved devotedly.
“J fear you vvil think me bold in thus coming
to seek your son ; hut you do not know (fie ni s
fortnne which threatens us.”
“ What misfortune, y ung lady ? Explain.”
“I have ahr ther. sir. young and violent ns
your son ;he cons : d r the love of Charles as an
insult, and if they should meet —ah, sir! if they
meet. am> a fatal termination :-hould attend their
quarrel. I shall be unhappy for life!”
At that moment a servant entered with a let
ter—
“VV ho is that for!” asked M. Duresnel, hastily
rising.
“For M. Charles.”
The father took it, broke the seal, and, having
read it. gave it to the fair jewoss.
“You were right.” said he, “it is a challenge ;
and so strongly worded, that Charles, with all his
foe for the sister, may not refuse to cross swords
with the brother.”
Leah read the note, and, tearing it in pieces,
threw them around her in dispair.
“My son is nut at hon e observed M. Duresnel;
therelore make your.-eh casv on his account VVe !
have yet some time; I wifi uke you to rny wife; 1
you shall remain with her till my ieiurn. Young .
lauy, confide in me ”
M. Duresnel ha-tened tot e dwelling of the (
jevv ; he found him sonow fu lv pacing the length ’
ot ins cabinet. Salomon evidently knew hi- sou's |
intentions.
“I come,” sail! Duresnel, -ai out this love affair
of which wo spoke this morning.”
“Ah, indeed!” replied the Is. aelitc, “and what
have you to propose ?”
“ \ our son is about the same age, I believe as i
mine. Charles, as you know is my only son,
and ( Would rall.er lose tue whole of mv fortune
than lids dear boy even it I found myself without
lire means <-t providing myself with food or shel
ter. \on have two children; you have me at ad
vantage.”
“ \ es,” said Salomon, his voice choked by an
endeavor to suppress his tears, “if affections
could be calculated li e inteiests; hut all the good
in the world woulu no he an equivalent for my
son. 1 love him equally wuh his sister, and 1
cannot admit your distinction.”
“ But,” said Duresnel. as if not heeding the
last words ot the otuer, ‘otiarffs is a most adroit
swordsman, and he has seldom found an equal
at hitting a maik.”
“My son, ’ said the Israelite, “will strike a
ten sous piece at tuirty paces, and has disarmed
more than one of our best fencing masters.”
“But. my trend. ’ si.id Duresnel, alter a pause,
his agitation increasii g as he approached the
mooted point ol religious difference, “the affair
does not stand as it did when you came to me
this morning.”
“No, I am quite aware of that.”
“ This morning, we talked of feelings which
we could not rghtly understand; for we thought
we could depiive unr children of iheir happiness
without any loss to ourselves. But we me
undeceived, we may, one or both of us lose a
son ; yet your daughter, far from being happier,
w.ii ex-.eriei.ee quite a contrary result. In such
a position would it not he more reasonable lor us
to make some samlire]”
“ You are right," anwered the Jew, with a pe
netrating glam e at Duiesnel.
Well, then, let us consider,” said the luke
warm I'hnstian, “I think you were at Bordeaux
some five-at d twentyy<ars ago; you were then
young, rich, and vve.! received by the women. I
have some re j eiuhrance that there was at that
lime a certain Ciarissa who was not of vour re
ligion.”
“Yes,yes. Ido not deny it,” interrupted Salo
mon. “ Well, and lam ready to confess that,
since I have seen your daughter, I can easily
forgive Charles for failing in love with a Jewess.
Why then should we prohibit, our children from
indulging a passion which in sincerity would
lead them to plight iheir faith at the altar, and
cement their love hy a tie the most sacred.”
“ King David could have done no more.”
“ David is no example for us at present said
Duresnel, ‘ since he broke through laws without
a virtuous purpose; vve. in uniting a Chritian to
a Jewess shall prevent bloodshed, and I know of
no religion, true religion, that authorises one man
coolly to take the life of another. Let us there
fore prefer the alternative that will occaison Us
the least remorse and grief. We no longer live
in the days of Abraham ; we are not required to
sacrifice ou. chiido n; besides, the knife was
stayed before it oaid descend on the victim.
May we not. rny dear Salomon, consider the an
gel as the spirit ot reus in, toleration, and charity;
v,r ues rather neglc ted among us ! And why
sh* u d we imp »e our religious beliefs on our
children since they aie old enough to judge a,.d
act for tiiemst Ives. I will undertake to conciliate
my wife, it you will do the same with Madame
Salomon.”
“ Madame Salomon is dead !” sighed the Jew:
then added, “ nut our grand-children.”
•• It is to he hoped that their father and molhc
Will exhibit the same goou sense that vve shah
have none; and when In \ are of age to decide
for themselves, their children may be allowed to
choose from conviction.”
Salomon held forth hi? hand to M. Uuresml.
“Be it so,” said he ; " and row about the indi

Died, of protracted illness on the 20lh ult., at the
residence of her son’s in Gadsden county, Florida,
where she had oeen on a visit from Telfair coun
ty, Ga. Christian Finlayson, aged about 65 years,
a native of isouth C.uolina. She was a member of
1 the Indepcndant Presoyteiian Church for the last
forty y«ats of her life. But at the same time, a
sin< ere admirer of all c! ristian denominations, and
j has frequently pai taken of the communion with the
Methodist denomination. For several days before
her exit, all the desire she expressed was to quit
this veil of teais, as she had every assuram e of be
ing transporter to a celestial r'aradise, wheic she
would meet her God. She retained her perfect
mind :<nd speech to the last —she was truly an
evangelh al Christian, humble, charitable, modest
and unassuming in her demeanor among her fellow
creatures. She has left three children to mourn
her irreparable loss, all of whom die has been
spared to see arrive al the years of maturity and
take their separate stands among the busy world.
Never did rnotner possess a more devoted attach
ment,or a slionget alfe< lion for her children than
she oid —may her surviving relatives and friends,
not only rev ive her memory, imitate the brightest
I example ol pure and noble feelings she possessed,
j but at the same time cultivate the same social vir
tues belonging to her. It is :i noble sentiment
| which declaies w-e shoul no* speak of the dead
except in praise, and mankind esteem it now per
haps in vindication a> to cause them often to ap
proach the ex'.remc of bestowing u merited praise
even, on some occa-ions. Bui towards the su' je< t
of this noti-e, it is pleasing to reflect that the
brightest eulogy could scarce approximate her mer
it- —yes, eulo y would be unnecessary to enhance
the virtuesof one whose amiable character has en
graven its excellencies on the memory of all who
knew her.
