A correspondent of the Now York American,
sow travelling in Englund, thus describes the ap
proach to and appearance of the great manufac
turing town of Manchester:
The rail road from Briminghara to Manches
ter runs through tho heart of a great manufac
turing district.—The thousands of tall chimneys,
studding the country, send up clouds of smoke
which curl in sooty festoons on the hills and sink
In darkmuwes in the vallies.—The train of cars
seemed to cut its way through an embankment of
smoke. The dingy barrier broke away as the en
gine approached,& opening to the riglit&left, let
the impetuous steam-serpent through; while be
hind us, oar track was as distinctly marked as
was ever that of the great leivathan on the New
England coast. On the verge of the horizon
hangs a cloud such as you might fancy would be
snspendpd over a hundred burning coal-pits.
Dimly visible through it are hundreds of tall brick
lowers, looking like the turrets of Erebus’ Castle.
Buried alive under this congregation of pesti
lent vapors, are the 300,000 inhabitants of Man
chester. How they contrive to breutho such an
atmosphere, is tu me a mysterv.
On one ofthe days of my short stay there, die
sky was shrouded itt thick clouds—the watery vo*
f ior rolled in waves through the streets, and tiling-
Jng with the smoke of the manufactories, made
It impossible to dislingtii h objects at the distance
of 20 feet. Business leading tne into one of die
principal thoroughfares, l stumbled along die
slippery side walk; now mailing over a buy; anon
finding myself elbowed into the gutter by a stur
dy John Bull; then was nearly run down by a tab
in attempting to cross the street; and quite knock
ed over an old wotnuuand her apple stand ns I
leaped to the wulk. Almost suffocated, l return
ed to my hotel, saturated to the skin with a mix
ture ot sea fog, coal dust, and smoke, more po-
tenttbnn the onco celebrated ligneus-acid. Man
chester would make an admirable suidke-house
far cannibals.
What London is to the commerce of the world,
Manchester is to die cotton trade—the great rag-
alator. The Chunreller should sit on a cotton
bale instead of a wool sack. I think it cannot
he intefligenlly denied that the machinery used
jo the best factories at Manchester, is superior to
that employed for the same purpose in die United
Statea^FThe more extensive experience of Eng
lish workmen, the lower price of labor, &c.,
may account for this—for, odier things being
equal, who wijl affirm that American skill nnd
enterprise are insufficient to cope with tlie’finest
specimens of British machinery employed iu die
manufacture either of cottou or wood?

THE MAINE ELECTION.
The election of Gov. Kent by the people, is
placed beyond a doubt. W e see that some of the
Loco papers attempt to create the impression
that the number of sea tiering votes may defeat the
election ofKzxT. We beg leave to inform onr
readers that this is NO GO. From all the re
turns we get hold of, in the papers ofbotii politi
cal parties, there is no reason to believe that there
will be 30scattering votes in the whole Slate.
We know something of the stale of politics in
Maine, and are entitled to say that Loco Focoism
in that Stale is dished. Lei us treat these mortal
remains gently, kindly. The game is up.
“ Life's filftd Jeter is over." and Loco Focoism
in Maine “ sleeps icell." The spirit which ani
mated the lifeless corpse, has fled and these gigan
tic remains are ready to he consigned to the tomb
of die Cupulets. There is something melancho
ly in seeing even a bitter ennmy, once warm and
glowing with the pulses of animation; an enemy,
too, who really did not want the commanding
qualities ofcouragermd perseverance, tiiusstmck
down by the unerring shaft of fate. There is n
solemnity almost appalling, in seeing these inan

Loco Focotsm has barked long enough, to the

nnd the world will go on without it—the sun will

MAINE ELECTION.
The victory in Maine is complete. Mr. Kent
is elected Governor by a majority of between
three and four hundred votes. Every town and
plantation has been received, and the result is as
follows: •
For Edward Kent, 45,397
John Fairfield, 45,052
Kent’s majority, 345
Such is the intelligence brought lastnightfrom
Bangor. Nothing certain had been ascertained
respecting the election of a member of Congress
in Hancock and Washington. No doubt is en
tertained of Noyes’ election.
All the glorious news we have been publishing
for the last few days ia wholly confirmed. An
hundred guns were fired upon the Common yes
terday in honor ofthis brilliant and most unex
pected victory,—Boston Alias.
The discrepancies between us and the Loco
Foco Journals, which do not admit the election
of Kent, anJyotdo notciuim the election of Fair-
held, are occasioned by differences of from one
to ten votes in some ofthe Towns. It will be
impossible 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, tuking the Loco Foco admission of " no
choice." Tlu» returns the Loco Foco Presses
now give aro but to ease their fall: and os the offi
cial returns cannot be got at till January, they
will cling to their cry of "no choice," as in 1837.

How watchful, how jealous then ought we to
bo ofthis bright jewel which is in our keeping.
The existence, the happiness and destinies of un
born millions, are involved in the glorious cause
of American Liberty, and on you as "adopted
citizens," enjoying tho blessiugs of that firecdom
which has been deified you at home—rests an
obligation, to unite and aid in crushing tho pow-
that would deprive you of, or jeopard those
liberties aud the rights of man, for which Irish
blood has so freely flown. It has been to me,
fellow-citizens, a subject of reflection and surprise
that yon who have left your native land, which is
no longer a home to you, whose Emerald Isle
still lies at the mercy ol the oppressor-you who
know the burthens which have oppressed yon,
and who ought to be alive to your rights and
liberties, should be so deceived in regard to the
policy, actions and doings of the present adminis
tration in this country. It may and no doubt will
be said—this is an appeal to you for "party pur
poses," and to change your feelings, from Martin
Van Buren, to his opponent Gen. Harrison.
Irishmen! all Insk of you is to read, examine
and think for yourselves—look at both aides of
the question now beforo you, ’ere you deter
mine.
The presont rulers of Ireland, assert that Irish
men are not capable of acting, thinking or gov
erning themselves; that individually they have no
political opinions* ond are only fit to vote by die
lotion, or as their and lords may command—but
how different is your situation in this home of
yonr adoption, this land of freedom ?
The inestimable blessing of the elective fran
chise is here secured to yon; the freedom of
peech, thought and action, are the birthrights and
immunities of every American, be ho native or
adopted; and every Irishman who comes to this
country must feel convinced that he can reason
and act for himself. Why then do you not ex
amine and judge for yourselves ? Look an bath
sides ofthe great questions which now ngitate the
country—let each man vote as he himself believes
will best secure the liberties he has come in quest
of. You may be a poor man—you depend on
the labor of your hands for food and clothing,
but you are no longer a feudal vassal; you have
not imported your chains with you, each man is
free to vote for himself, and honesty and industry
never go unrewarded in this land of freedom,
censure yon, who may, for your independence.
Now, let me ask you, has there been an election
in this city, for years past, that attempts have not
been made to induce you to vote in a body ?
Cannot Irishmen differ in opinion, and honestly
vote for the candidates they prefer without in
curring the displeasure or tiieir friends and com
paninns?
YVhy then this cry ot every election, " Irish,
men to the polls”—" stand firm*’—" vole in a
body:” "let every Irishman vote the whole ticket:'
let not one of Erin's sons be missing from the
ranks of his countrymen." Is this in keeping
with wlmt ought to be the noble bearing of a
Freeman—an American citizen? Ask yourselves
the question, and examine well fellow-citizem
the purpose for which these cries are raised.—
Examine for yourselves the motives to influence
your votes, and deprive you of that cherished and
endearing privilege—freedom of action. You
are capable of judging for yourselves, and do not
believe the assertions of one party without hear
ing the reasons of tho other. Remember, you
have fled from yonr own dear Ireland to escape
the iron grasp of the oppressor—^c careful you
do not assist in forging chains for your adopted
country.
Mistrust the motives of those who would per
suade you that every Irishman is bound to vote
the same ticket. You, aa countrymen of Em
mett,are bound to act independently.
If, after an examination of all the facts present
ed to you, you should determine to support the
present Chief Magistrate and his adherents, do
it—but do it singly, independently and as free
men, and let no honest difference of opinion eg
regards the vote yon give interfere with your
Iriendly feelings towards each other as Irishmen.
Permit me now to bring to your attention
the steps taken by the present Adminislration.
I will, however, at this present time only present
one of iu attempts to gain powor and prostrate
the liberties of the country. What I would ask
you, is necessary to place the people at the mercy
of a ruler—it matters not if he is called President
or King, give him money nnd armed men, bound
to obey his orders, under his own officers, nnd
subject to the " Rules nnd Articles of War,” and
where is the limit to his power and grasping am
bition?
Reflect, freemen, what was attempted at the
last session of Congress. The Secretary ofWar,
with the strong " recominei.dation” of Martin
| Van Boren, introduced a bill for the organization!
the soldiery to the helpless and unarmed? But
why need I remind you of thn sufferings with
which you have been visited. Welcome—thrice
welcome aro you to share in the abode of freemen,
and so say the majority ofthe American people;
for that foul blot which would have stained the
historic pnge of your adopted country, is obliter,
ated in the reflection, that the public odium must
the West. It narrates o very exciting occurred*
which took place on board tne stonmhont in which
sho was a passenger, and of which she was in
eyewitness. In passing dowu the Mississippi
river, our narrator was summoned from thee*
bin by alarming shrieks and great commotion on
deck. On going np, she found that a young It.
dy had fallen overboard, nnd the boat in its pro.
gress was fast leaving her behind. A gentlenun
on board immediately divested himself of a part of
his clothing, ond sprang into tho river, lit
forever exist against the character ond memory of I reuched tho drowning person, nnd upheld her
him who refused a welcome to the martyred Em
mett and his followers. The blood of that pure
patriot, rests on those who shed it, and him who
refused the rescue oft gallantspirit from his mer
ciless executioners. Irishmen I you never can
forget the name and conduct of Rufua King.
Yet, ere tho blood-stained block has lost its crim-1
son hue, you are called on to support the friend—
the bosom friend and advocate of that very man.
Reflect! “ONE OF THE PEOPLE.”

THE ACCOUNT CURRENT.
Posting the Books.—The reckoning day is n sad
business for onr Loco Foco brethren, but n very
agreeable one to us. Since tho 1st of April last,
8tate elections have been held in the following
States, and docided solely iu reference to the
Presidential question,—aud here is the result, viz:
in the water until a small boat enme to the in.
cue ofbotii. The young lady, thus snatched fmn
a sudden dentil, was the daughter of an elder);
gentleman who was on board the boat—foreign*
era, neither ofwhom could speak English.
On reaching the deck, nnn recovered from her
fright, she passionately embraced her deliverer
and bestowed kiss after kiss npon him, as the nniv
way ihe could oxpress tier gratitude and thank,
fulness; while the father rushing from the. cabin
eagerly proffered him a roll of bank bills Then*
being refused, he ran to his cabin and rotnrned
with a bag of gold, which he likewise pressed
upon his acceptance; nor could either father or
daughter bn made to understand, or feel satisfied,
why tiie proffered reward would not be accepted.
