The canvassing of Parliamentary candi dates, whenever a general election occurs in ! Great Britain, gives rise to scenes which, if occasionally disgusting, arc sometimes edify ing, and often amusing. Os the latter de scription we select the following, which oc curred at the recent election, which is a sam ple of the freedom of the hustings in that country. — National Intelligencer* Tipperary Election. Mr, Collett, an Englishman,had been brought forward as the Administration candidate for the fame d county of Tipperary. Archdeacon Laffan propo ed Mr. Scully as an opposing candidate, and in doing so made the following speech, (as reported for ike London Sunt) Archdeacon Laffan ros?, and was greeted with a tremendous burst of acclamation, lie took the Times newspaper out of his pocket, and, throwing it with force on the table, said j to Mr. Collett, “There’s your speech at Lin coln, for you.” [Great cheering.] “My Lord Suirdale,” continued the Archdeacon, “I never in the whole course of my life, and it is a long political life, stood up in the court-house with feelings of more regret. Who are you bring ing forward this day, Tory gentlemen of Tip perary ? [Cheers.] I’m ashamed of you— [ great cheering] —I always like to catch the bull by the horns. [Laughter.] Who, I re peat, are you bringing forward, respectable in dependent landlords of Tipperary ? The man who stood by in the House of Commons when Roebuck called you murderers, and not stand up to defend you.” Mr. Collett. “I did.” Archdeacon Laffan. Oh, gentlemen of Tip perary ! Oh, respectable descendants of the Tipperary aristocracy! Though you are To ries, I love you better than John Bull, [laugh ter,] who will laugh at you when your estates are confiscated and your children beggars.— (Loud cheers.] Those English fellows have not one drop of the milk of human kindness in their bosom. Did that ill-looking fellow— (pointing to Mr. Collett)—and he is a very ill-looking fellow—[laughter] — [Here Mr. Collett commenced writing in his tablet.] Archdeacon Laffan. Put that down in your tablet: carry that in your snuff-box, as we say in Tipperary. [Loud laughter.] Ido regret, my Lord Suirdale, to see any man of the old stock of the aristocracy coming to the back of a man whom they do not know. [Hear, hear.] I care not for the Whigs or Tories: they arc all alike to me, from snappish Roebuck to Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel. — 1 Cheers.] They call you, landlords of Ire and, wholesale murderers; and did that fel low [laughter] stand up for you r [Loud laughter.] Don’t be looking so angry at me, sir; don’t think you’ll intimidate me, Mr. John Bull. [Cheers.] [lt was really laughable to see the astonish ed, confused, angry looks of Mr. Collett, who ! did not expect such a laceration from the very governed gentleman.] The Archdeacon, [smiling.] lam glad Roe buck is out of Parliament. When he charged the landlords "with driving out their unfortu nate tenants, and starving them, did you stand up then, Mr. Collett, and call him a liar r— [Loud cheers.] Do you know, my Lord Suir dale, what a Frenchman said to John Bull: He said, “he used you very well, for he eated de oyster and gave you de shell.” [Loud laughter.] But, Tory landlords of Tipperary, your candidate was turned out of Lincoln, and you thought him good enough for Tipperary— out of the frying pan into the fire. [Laugh ter.] Oh, gentlemen, are you—are you not ashamed of yourselves? [Loud laughter.]— I see the crimson mantling in your cheeks, you can’t conceal it; your heart* are not with your tongues; you are partly Irish, after all. {Loud cheers.] If you return Collett, he will augh with contempt at you; and, when your estates are squeezed like a lemon, he will damn you as a set of beggarly rascals. [Loud laughter.] Collett, did you ever hear that Irishmen had tails ? [Loud laughter.] Did you ever hear that the brutal Times called us the bloody priests r” [Groans,] Mr, Collett, [good humoredly.] Do you say your prayers ? . The Archdeacon. We do say our prayers, and I’ll make you say yours before I am done with you. [Laughter.] It is a sad day when we see men, with their ears and eyes open, se lect such a man as their candidate for Tippe rary. [Hear,] I would take ray political enemy by the hand, I would shake hands with you, Mr. Collett, if you’d let me, (laughter,] but to friend or foe who would abuse me, I would say, “Go along, you scoundrel.” I could not support Lord John Russell, my Lord Suirdale; and I will toll you why. Because he starved two millions of my fellow-country men. [Groans for the Premier.] A scoun drel, who refused to send two vessels of war to bring food to the starving people. [Groan ing.] And what did the Americans do?— glorious America —[loud cheering] —the land of the brave, where freedom’s sod was never soiled? [Great cheers.] What did brave America do ? The President, the Govern ment, the People, sent their best ships, man ned with their noble Yankee sailors, [cheers,] with food, not bomb-shells, to our shores.— [Cheers.] Compare this with the conduct of the pigmy Premier of England, the rotten Russell. [Groans.] Mr. Collett. Say something about your own candidate. [Cheers.] The Archdeacon. I am not done yet. [Laugh ter.] One source of the great revenue of Eng land is derived from their cast-off clothes, and they scud us their cast-off member, saying; “He’ll do well enough for Paddy.” [Laugh ter.] Y r ou stood for Lincoln, Mr. Collett— what’s your name? John? [Laughter.] I’m sorry that they did not send us a handsomer specimen of the cast-off clothes than you, anv way. [Laughter,] You’re not half as hand some as my man. [Loud Laughter.] I have here the Times of the 30th July, that’s the day you showed your nose in Lincoln, [laughter,] and you made your debut very smart. [Loud laughter,] Lincoln contains 1859 vo ter i; Col. Sibthorpe opposed you; he headed the poll. Surely they must have the mischief’s opinion of you when they elected Sibthorpe in preference to you. [Loud laughter.] Well, how many voted for you? I’ll tell you: out of the 1859 voters ycu got 272. [Renewed Laughter.] And, after that, you come to Tip perary, to try the Tipperary boys. A Voice. Oh, what a chance he has! [Re newed laughter.] The Archdeacon. He has, indeed! Why, I have here a list of voters for my own two parishes, and there are in those two parishes alone a majority of seven dver his whole sorry supporters in the barorfy of Middlethird. [Loud cheers*] Put that in your pipe, Mr. Collett, and smoke it. [Laughter.] Electors of Tipperary! lam going to propose as a can didate a young man, and he not a bit the worse for being a Roman Catholic. [Laughter.] A man was never the worse for knowing how to to bless himself. [Cheers.] He is a handsome fellow, too. [Laughter.] I beg leave to pro pose Francis Scully as a fit and proper person to represent Tipperary. [Loud cheers.] His father, the late James Scully, was, at the worst of times, at the head of the Catholics of this countv. [Cheers.] In 1828, they year before Catholic emancipation—of which measure, my Lord, your Lordship’s ancestors were the stren uous advocates — Dr. Burke. A cheer for the old Hutchin sons. [Loud cheers.] The Archdeacon. I remember in Dr. Burke’s I present chapel the late lamented O’Connell — may God be merciful to him! Pray for him i Mr. Collett. [Laughter.] Dr. Burke- If he knows how. [More laugh - i ter.] The Archdeacon. The late Daniel O’Con nell was present: James Scully was in the chair. “I am delighted,” said the I.iberator, “to sec you in the chair, James Scully, as the brother of the distinguished author of the ‘Penal Laws.’ ” [Loud cheers.] We must have lair play; we’ll beat him into rags, so that his English friends won’t know him. [Hear and laughter.] They’ll say, “Can this be the CoUectt that stood for Lincoln?” [Loud laugh ter.] Electors of Tipperary, you’ll do your duty; we want Ireland for the Irish. [Loud cheers.] Our standard is the green flag of Erin. [Tremendous cheering.] “On our side is virtue and Erin; The frieads we have tried Are by our side. And Collett is before us.” [Loud cheers.] lam speaking at random; [laughter;] but I had a very good speech prepared, and you,Mr. Collett, spoiled it by coming Up at the 11th hour with your bamboo head. [Laughter.] I really believe it’s not the first good thing you spoiled. [Laughter.] Sir Joseph Yorke in the House of Commons, at one time said that if Ireland was four-and-twenty hours un-. der water it would be peaceable, and not till then. Little Jo any Russell has adopted a different plan; he adopted starving them in millions. [Loud groaning.] You may go home to Lincoln, Mr. Collett: do you live near it? [Laughter.] Go home and tell them for us we are Irish—the descendants of the old Spaniards. [Cheers.] You are not a Spaniard; you are more like a Creole- [Loud laughter.] Tell them from Us wc are not to be trampled upon; [cheers;] that we repudiate both Whigs and Tories; and if old Nick had both of them Old Ireland would be much better off. [Laugh ter.] We are moral force Repealers. [Tre mendous cheering.] We are the disciples of the great O'Connell;. he of European fame. [Loud cheers.] We are his followers; and though he is dead, we will hoist his banner for Repei k Liberty, and old Ireland* [Great cheering.] I have great pleasure, my Lord and Electors of Tipperary, in proposing Fran cis Scully as a fit and proper representative for gallant Tipperary. [The Archdeacon resumed his seat amidst the loudest demonstrations of applause. Mr. Scully was elected.] [From, the Athens Banner. ] Keep up the Cam Trade. Farmers of the up-country of Georgia I In our last paper wc raised for your notice the banner of FREE TRADE; and invited your ! attention to certain irrefutable arguments to prove that it was to your TRUE INTERESTS to hold on to the FOREIGN market. We told you then, as wc tell you again, that You can keep this market only upon one condition. What was it? It was that you should take the GOODS of England and other countries freely in EXCHANGE for your CORN, FLOUR, and provisions! We then assured you Eng land would always be a BUYER of these ar ticles from you, provided you would EX CHANGE with her! !—We cannot but be lieve that reasons so powerful addressed to yoUr understandings, have wrought a deep convic tion in your minds against a PROTECTIVE TARIFF, by which the trade in foreign goods would be restricted by HIGH DUTIES —that such a policy would drive the FOR EIGN BUYER to other countries who would exchange with him for the products of his own labor, and thus you would lose a great market which is now open to you. We desire not to weary you with the repetition of reasons which have, no doubt, already convinced you of your TRUE INTERESTS. We know that our tree Trade banner is an eye-sore to the PROTEC TIONISTS, and that they will use every effort to riddle it. But THAT FLAG is founded upon the principles of eternal TRUTH, and we will defend it “with the last shot in the locker.” Strong and undeniable as are the ar guments we have addressed you, to rally to its support on the first Monday in October, we will now- confirm them by the following ex tracts from other Journals; Another Acknowledgment.—“ The fed eral press at the north seem to be rapidly giv ing in, to the strength and popularity of the measures of the administration. Read the fol lowing sensible remarks from the Pittsburg Commercial Journal, which so confidently pre dicted hopeless ruin to the farmers, in the tar iff of’42 should be repealed.— Nashville Union . “In flour and grain the calculation seems to be—and it is apparently a sound one—that even with a fair average harvest in Europe, there will still be considerable room for ex portations from this side, and hence flour, (the best Genesee,) which had gone down to $5,50 is now firmly held at $6; and if the steamer of 4th August, should, by chance report clouds and storms and rains, for a few daj's, all prices would go up. “As a matter of fact, at the ordinary rates of i freight, and with such a crop as the IT. S. will this year produce of grain, it seems not un reasonable (the corn law-s in England contin ing suspended) that we can undersell the English in their own market! This fact, ta ken in connection with the absorption of all the surpluses in Europe, which will, we as sume, be the case before the present harvest becomes available, will, it seems hardly to be i problematical, open away, this year, and per haps permunentl}*, to considerable exports of bread stuffs from the United States to Great Britain.” We call your attention to every word in the above article of the Pittsburg (Penn.) Com mercial Journal, and request you to read it over and over again, and to weigh well the vieWs which it takes of this subject. We sub mit to your candor , whether it does not estab lish the truth of the arguments w r e addressed to you in our last paper, as well as in the pre - sent. The editor says t ' , we can undersell the English in their awn market," and if the com laws in England remain suspended, as they un doubtedly will, (for the free traders have swept everything before them in the recent election of a Parliament for seven years, hav ing a majority in that body of 98 votes) —the way will be opened **this year and perhaps per manently to considerable experts of bread-stuffs from the United States to Great Britain.”— This is a confession wrung from him in oppo sition to his own predictions of ruin from a repeal of the protective tariff of ’42! We will now give the opinion of an Anti- Tariff Journal, but so much in accordance with the views which we have addressed to you, and so consonant to the plainest dictates of reason, that we call almost say “he who doubts is dkmned.” The very able editor of th a Rich nlond Enquirer , speak in" upon this subject holds tlie following language, which We re commend to your niost serious consideration: “The first effort of the American statesman, should be to regulate our commercial policy so that the products of our vast and fertile coun try can be exchanged without further restric tion than the necessities of the Government require for the productions of other countries and other climates. If We prohibit,' by heavy duties, the products of European nations, it seems a necessary consequence that we de stroy in a groat measure their ability to pur chase from us. The trade of the world is al most exclusively a trade of barter, and. Unless we are willing to receive their productions it is impossible that they can receive mir own. — Unless we exchange with them, there can be but little trade between us.” If you will reflect upon the facts and rea soning brought to your notice above, you cafrf not fail to perceive where your prosperity lies, and unless you shut your eyes against the lights which must have been shed upon your minds in favor of the DEMOCRATIC POLI CY of FREE TRADE, you will come to the polls and proclaim by your ballots for TOWNS and the DEMOCRATIC candidates for the LEGISLATURE, that you will have no WHIG Senator in Congress, who will vote to cut off the FOREIGN MARKET for your CORN, FLOUR AND PROVISIONS by a protective Tariff, lessening you EXCHANGES with those countries, and thus making you hewers of wood and drawers of water to a set of lordly manufacturers I! ! [From the Abbeville Banner .] The Savannah River. At a meeting of the citizens at Loundesville on the the 21 inst, convened for the purpose of Memorializing the Legislature on the sub ject of the subject of the improvement of the navigation of the Savannah river. On motion of J, H. Baskin, Rsq., John Speer, was called to the Chair; J. S. Allen Esq. and Capt. T. Gautt appointed Secretaries. The Hon. A- Burt having read the resolutions, addressed the meeting in their support, in a speech of much force, characterised by sensible . and practical views, and urged the necessity of continued exertion in the enterprise.

Resolved , That amongst the projected en terprises of a similar kind, the improvement of the Savannah River above the cities of Ham burg and Augusta is a work of great public im portance to the State of South Carolina and Georgia, and eminently worthy the regard of the Legislatures of both States. Resolved, That a committee be appointed by the Chair at suitable points along the river, to obtain signatures to the petition to the Legis lature of this State, for the improvement of the Savannah River.

Johnston, Esq., offered the following resolutions, which. after being sustained in a forcible and pertinent address by F. H. Sanford, Esq., were unanimously adopted, viz; Resolved, That the present vigorous and i efficient administration of the General Govern ‘ ment, by President Polk, while it furnishes the i highest evidence of the truth of democratic , principles, proves that the people were not mistaken in the nerve or pluck of the man, ■ whom they called from reiirement in 1814, to be the Executive Chief of twenty millions of Freemen. Resolved, That the evidence of this is palpa ble in the unexampled prosperity of this coun try,in its commerce, its manufactures and in all the arts of peace, and its successes in war; that these are unaccountable in any way, save as the legitimate consequences of a vigorous and efficient republican policy, in the hands of a Democratic Executive. Resolved, That we approve the policy of James K. Polk, in peace and war, in the Government at home, and its policy abroad. R ; solved , That we hail with mingled feelings of pride and admiration, the able and independ ent letter of acceptance of our candidate for Governor, the Hon. George W. Towns, as a true exponent of Southern Democracy, and Southern sentiment, in regard to the frightful question of the Wilmot Proviso; and we look forward with annimated hope and confidence, to the time close at hand, when the strength of Georgia Democracy, shall vindicate the honor of the State, by elevating its boldest friend, * to the chief executive office in the common wealth.

On this subject we designed writing an arti cle; but we find what we would say so well ex pressed in the portion which we quote below of an editorial in the last Federal Union, that we adopt it as a substitute. We call the especial attention to it of those to whom it applies. We think that the party has been too lenient in times past to schismatics and little would be great men in our ranks, who were each will ing to risk the ascendency of the democrats in the Legislature for the chance of securing to himself a seat, or for the petty desire of in dulging a personal dislike by defeating a rival democrat id the same county. Such men should be marked and punished where it is plain that they have acted from such selfish motives—in defiance of and in opposition to regular nominations—in defiance of the disin terested advice and COol judgment of sensible members of the patty, and in defiance proba bly of the expressed Wishes of the great ma jority of the party. The contest for the Le gislature is a close one. We mfiy gain or we may lose it by one member. At best we can only reasonably expect a majority of a very few members. If we lose it, what a weight of re sponsibility 7 ought to fall on the head of him or them by whose selfishness, or bad temper, or impatient aspirations for distinction, dissen sions may 7 have been created which have re sulted in the election of Whigs when there was a clear democratic majority. This has happened with us before. It may happen again. We should be sorry 7 ever thereafter to see a man calling himself a Democrat who would cause such a disaster, elected to fill any 7 office he might covet, high or low. No man should receive the confidence and sup port of a party who does not always show him self ready to sacrifice his personal aspirations for office, when appealed to to do so for the sake of union and harmony. “It pains us to learn that in a few counties, there are supernumerary democratic candi dates for the Legislature. This ought not so to be. There should be no contest among de mocrats, except a contest as to who shall be foremost in sacrificing all personal prejudices and aspirations upon the altar of republican principles. How exceedingly discouraging is it, to those of our friends who are doing their full duty in endeavoring to carry the elections, to be told at this, that and the other point, there are divisions in our ranks? It cools their ardor, and paralyzes their energies. Judging from the present aspect of things, the demo cracy cannot be beaten by their opponents. They may, however, defeat themselves. What county, what individual will consent to be in strumental in effecting such a result? We can but think that, if our friends would reflect upon the importance of the pending elections, they would heal all schisms and unite as a band of brothers in the great cause of Democracy. Do they forget that the Le gislature will have to elect a Senator to the Congress of the United States—perhaps two Senators? Do they forget that several other high officers are to be elected? Do they for get that if defeated, their defeat w ill be claim ed as a Whig victory and a verdict of condem nation against the Administration? We im plore our friends to think of these and be uni ted and zealous. New and Fashionable Goods. A few days ago we received from Bowdrc & Clagett, a very neat little package which on opening we found to contain a very tasteful figured Silk Cravat, and a rich and elegant figured Silk Vest pattern, together with an invitation to visit their extensive assortment of fall and -winter goods. We were pleased with the style of the articles, and pleased with the style of the invitation. We thought both in excellent taste, and therefore did not hesitate to pay the visit. Being at leisure yesterday we strolled in and found friend Clagett indus triously flourishing his yard stick, and “us smiling as a basket of chips” to his numerous customers, particularly the ladies, who were thronging his popular counters. He soon found opportunity to take us to the inner re cess of his establishment, where beneath the sky light he spread out before us as rich a va riety of fabrics as ever charmed the eye of taste, or won the heart of beauty. To please the ladies, the looms of every country, from gaudy and luxurious Asia, to refined and fas tidious Europe, contributed their ne plus ultra of skill. Silks, Cashmeres and embroidered Muslins, in all the affluence of colours and figures, vied with the rainbow in hue and kept pace with the kaleidoscope in variety of com j binatious. For morning promenade, for din- | ner costume, all that can be imagined, of rich and showy were displayed; and for the eve ning toilette, dresses which would bear the test of brilliant chandeliers that shed “a light which maids look lovliest in,” and would both borrow and bestow an added beauty. We did not descend the scale of wants and fancies to examine minutely what was the ear liest age of customers, for whom selections had been carefully made. But bachelor as we are, we took for granted that the introducers into this marketof the invaluable Baby Jumper were not unmindful of the demands of the most primitive of humanity. To our bachelor friends, however, we ven ture to commend the choice collection of Cra vats, Casimeres, Silk, Satin and Cashmere Vestings, mid, iii the language of the trade, “a variety of articles too tedious to mention.” We should not omit to add, for the benefit of our country readers,that our city merchants, generally, have the most abundant stocks, and can me A every want, suit tastes the most fas tidious and on terms the most economical will not quarrel with. Tho Revenue Under the Tariff of’4s. It appears from the accurate and reliable correspondent (Prentice) of the Washington Union, that the low tdritf &t’46 hasfhus far ex ceeded in amount of revenue that of the hfk tariff of ’42. The Richmond Enquirer of the ! 4th inst., also says,- “Up to the last advices— the 10th July—^he revenue had increased more than d rrtilliort of dollars over the' amount received during the same time under the Tariff of ’42.” Add to this that since the date men tioned by the Enquirer , the revenue in the month of August last, amounted to $3,500,-000 against $2,183,701 in the same month last year ! ! ! Athens Banner } Arrival from Europe. Tlie bark Macedonian arrived at Portldiid, Maine, in a passage of 20 days from Cork.— She arrived on the 11th, which makes her ac counts as late as the 21st August. She brings o o no news. Telegraphic messages were transmitted be tween Philadelphia and Cincinnati, on Tues day, by one impulse, over a continuous line of wires seven hundred and thirty miles in length. The Last Instalment is Paid. We congratulate our brother of the Patriot on his good fortune. He says below what a ' number of the profession no doubt, would like to say, but only live in tho hope of being able to do. “The last instalment paid !” This sounds good—very good—and we are glad to learn that the Patriot (a good Democratic pa per) has been able to liquidate its debts to the Government, without Government assistance. Wo have often seen it charged in Whig papers that the Democratic press received large fa vors from Uncle Sam for the support given, but so far as we are concerned, we can safely say, we have never done a job of any kind of work for the said relative, that we would not have charged any one else almost double. If there is any secret in bleeding the Treasury of the Union, it is possessed by those who have the -work done and not by those who perform the laboL But hear what the Patriot says, and live iii hope, (if yc die ill despair) all Democratic newspapers* We have paid the last instalment dh the Bond for which the Southern Patriot Office has been mortgaged to the U. S. Government for the past thirty years. Little did we think tAventy years ago, in our early manhood. When the merits of the Patriot Office wore discussed, and its known large indebtedness to the Gov ernment talked of, that we should ever be called upon to pay any portion of it, blit so it is, and alter years of toil we have paid the last dollar, and under hardships too; for at the time we came into the offiue it was an under stood thing that whatever advertising the U. States Government might have in Charleston, from any of its Departments, should appear in the Patriot, and there is a clause in the Bond which provides that any amounts which may be due by the Government or any of its De partments for advertising in the Southern Pa- j triot, shall not be paid in money, but shall be deducted from the Bond; but no such liberali ty has been extended to us since we have assumed the responsibility of paying tho Bond. The patronage of all the Departments was by some means or other diverted from this pa per, and we were left to other resources to j pay the instalments as they became due, and every dollar has been promptly paid without asking or receiving any favor. Wisconsin A telegraphic despatch to the Tribune from Buffalo, states that Tweedy, Whig, is elected to Congress, (as a Delegate, having no right to vote,) by 800 majority over Moses M. i Strong, Dem. Peaches. —We see it stated that the Reynold family will net $40,000 from the sale of Peaches in Philadelphia, this year. This is certainly a fair business transaction. Maine Elections* The Portland papers of this morning con tain a few returns from the election in this State yesterday. In Portland the vote for Governor was 952 for Bronson, Whig, 859 for Dana, Democrat, and 70 scattered. This the Argus claims as a Democratic gain of 279. The gain for Clapp, the Democratic candidate for Congress, is stated at 400 in the city, 129 in Brunswick, Freeport 49, and Falmouth 40. In Westbrook, however, the Whigs have made a gain. Saco, Biddeford and Kennebunk in York county, give a democratic gain of 274. For i State Representatives, the Democrats have gained a member in Cumberland. In Port land, one Whig only is elected, by 7 majority. In Lincoln county, the Argus also claims gains. In Bath, Dana, 240, Bronson 408; for Congress, Morse 435, (’lark 225—p011s not closed.

Many country merchants are in town too, and one house in the shoe trade sold in the week ending the 11th inst. more by S6OO than they sold in the whole month of September of last year. As for the health of Savannah, it never w»u better. In the whole circle of our acquain tance, we cannot mention a single case of fe ver.

Fowie Sir—Having been afflicted for more than thirty years with the asthma, at times so severely as to in capatiate me from attending to business, and har ing adopted many medicines without any but tem porary relief,! purchased about three years since, of Mr. Edward Mason,your agent in this eity, seve ral bottles of Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, from the effects of which I obtained more relief than from all the medicines I had ever taken for , that distressing disorder.
