* PRESfDENTAL ELECTION.
Tho uenr approach of the Presidential Elec
tion hns turned ull eyes nnd ears to returns, nnd
sot all licndrt to calculating upon the indienjions
afforded by election*,passed, and to come. Three
'months will put us all in possession of the whole
result, hut that three mouths must be to those in
terested, a period of suspense. Undur these cir
cumstances we have thought that n review of
such Slate Elections os have taken place, with
the dates of elections to be held, will not be un
acceptable to the reader.
, Elections for Stale officers have been held in
thirteen States, Connecticut, Rholdc Island, Loui
siana, Indiana, North Corollns, Kentucky, Ver
mont, Muiuo, Virginia, Illinois, Alnbama, Mis*
aouri, and New Hampshire. The tiiue first
States have given Whig majorities, though in
Louisiana tho Whigs have lost ground in the vole
for State officers, and havo also lost one Repre
sentative in Congress—or failed to elect one up
on whom they strongly calculated. In tho four
last States, the Von Buren men have carried the
State Elections. The nine first States thow
ninety-six electoral votes, the four last twenty-
three. Politicians, of course, can find consola
tion in all apparent defeats, and trace to local
causes, what may appear to the general observer
to be general results. With these nice distinct
ions we have not time to deal.
In threo States, Lousisiona, Vermont and
Blaine, elections have been held for Representa
tives to Congress. Those three return sixteen
Representatives, nnd, at present their delegations
m eqilallydividcd—there being eight members
Of etch party. By the recent elections the Whigs
Mre gained from four to six members—there be
ing one or two districts in Maine, in which there
isprobablv no choice; nnd it may be several days
before the'result will be known with any degree
or oertainty. Of tho States above mentioned as
having given Whig majorities in their eletious
for State officers, six, viz: Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Louisiana, North Carolina, Maine aud
Virginia, choose Van Bureti Electors in 1636.
In all these six States, the Whigs claim that the
State elections afford a sure indication of the
Presidential vote. In three of them, Connecti
cut, Rhode Island and Maine, the Van Buren men
admit the indication; but in the ether three, they
deny that the results which have occurred in the
local elections nre a sure foreshadow of what will
like place in the Prcsidental election.
The first Presidential elections will be heldiu
Pennsylvania and Ohio, on the 36th of October;
and the four last are held by Mar) land ou the
9th, Vermont and Delaware on t]»u 10th, by
North Carolina on the 19th of November, and by
Seath Carolina, Nov. 30. The 6late elections

elections, previous to the Presidential election
ere, six iu number, and, as none of these elections
occur immediately, there may uow be a lull in
election din. for about a couple of weeks.
The election in Georgia is for nine Congress
men, (elected by general ticket) and members of
the State Legislature. There is n6 election for
Governor this year. In Ohio, the election is for
Governor, 19 members of Congress, and mem
bers of the State Legislature; in Pennsylvania,
for members'of Congress and of the Suite Le
gislature; in New-Jersey for members of theLe-
gislature, who elect tho Governor. The Congrcs

IIlT.RAU! FOR OLD CHATHAM ! ?
We prepared our friends yesterday, for nn in
creased vote in favor of our adversaries. We
beard so much about democratic associatid(tt,
democratic dinners, democratic suppers,and even
breakfasts, democratic electioneering in the
county, said to be eminently successful, that iu
view of the very large poll, we supposed os a mat
ter of course the Van Buren vote would bo
increased. Bnt it takes good troops to stand be
fore the Tippecanoe battalions. We have met
the enemy again, without a stain on onr ormour.
The Tippecanoe banner still waves bravely aloft,
peerless and unsullied. Tbauks to thoso who
have protected it daring the contest. We have
not losta man,our troops are still well marshalled,
but we have fuirly. out-flanked the enemy and
crashed a part of his force. We are ready this
moment to return to the charge, and return to
the chargo we will. Let our adversaries rest on
their arms, we shall sound nn onset in a few
weeks more,and let them be ready for we slumber
not. We are ready to follow up the advantage
we have gained, under a leader who has sacrific
ed himself to sustain Southern Institutions—we
still rally around him.
Our opponents cry out, Victory! Victory j
and we iearn they are about to celebrate it with
die k firing of cannon. Save your ammunition
gentleman, to do llie lost honors to defunat Van
Burenism.
A certain King of Epirns, abont 2000 years
since, fought a battle widi the Romans, which
was called a victory by some of his Generals—
“ another such victory will ruin us" was the reply.

THE HEALTH OF SAVANNAH,
Is and has been unexceptionable. We have
never known so littlo sickness in town as during
tho present season. Tho country, on the contra
ry, has been unusually sickly, and die town is
crowded with valetudinarians and convalescents
who hove fled from tho country hither in
pursuit of health, which in evory instance, so far
as we know, they have found.
The public sewers and drainsabout to be made,
leading from the town to the low grounds be
yond the Hospital, will he n great source ofhealth
to dial part of the city which is extending south
erly.
To absentees who havo business to attend to
wc say, come home. To those whose time ia their
own we say, comc homo !
Come home—tbe fervid summer heat is past.
And wooingly tbe wayward Northern blaat
Sports with the pride of fading Southern bowera;
While yet afield, gay, flaunting Autumn flowers
Scent with their dewy breath the roay mom.
And twinkling hands die humble hearth adorn
With many a wreath from verdant alleya tom.
Come home! The sacred fire of friendship still shall
bum,
And brighter prove to welcome your return.
The Moon, her softening beauty pours.
O’er tapering masts and socrcd lowers,
And many a girl with lashes streaming,
Looks o'er the waves in moonlight gleaming,
And strains her sight, while in her mind’s eye
Her lover sails right in the winda eye;
And many an anxious mother’a son is ont.
To cniintthe votes, and see the coming rout

The Georgian says “ it is as conspicuous as a

as capricious. We think the weather has a cer
tain out-door conspicuous universality which a
“ young beauty" has not.

by the true democracy of this country, and cor
rected for every latitude and longitude, fiiir

Hsrs is an exemplification of party discipline.
No private animosity is suffered to intorfere with
tho concortod action of tho whole. When tho
measures and the men are once determined on,
ever)* onto knows Ids post; and personal consid-
orations are to be forgotten, until victory is se
cured and ir the spoils" in view. In talking Into-
ly with one of these gentlemen, who had been
saying, that tho vote for Mr. Van Buren would
be found to be ns large ns before, but that the
Whigs had now “come out," aud that made tho
difference. I said, “ you soem then, to diink
that the opposition have in truth, had the majori
ty oil the time." 11 1 have no :'oubt of it," he an
swered. This Is on admission of some conse-
quenco. Wo are told that it Is a principle of de
mocracy, at our rulers profess it, that the will of
the ninjority should prevail. Yet a man would
probably be laughed nt, who should tell tho Pres
ident that he has not vigilantly endeavored to as
certain that will; that ignorant people have been
induced by his adherents to cast their votes in his
favor, by the unblushing assurance that General
Jackson paid the last instalment o£ the national
debt out of his own pocket; aud that ho,Mr. Van
Buron.iunocontly, no doubt; hut carolossly hns
suffered those votes to counteract the advice of
some of the wisest men in the Union who oppos
ed his measures. >
Distance has not diminished tho interest with
which I have waited to hear what hns been going
nn in Georgia the past summer. The late din
ner nt tho Indian Springs, &c.—the Convention
at Mncon—the proceedings on the 4th of July, at
Milledgeville, with those answers to invitations
that had been given for tho snko of letters hi re
turn, from the President downward, have all had
carefol attention.
How characteristic is the imperturbable cool
ness wills-which Mr. Van Buren tolls tho Com
mittee, that he cannot suffer himself to doubt,
that the good sense of the people will sustain him
in carrying out the great principles, which ho pro
tends to have supposed necessary to the preserva
tion ofour liberties, while the country, like a sub
missive patient in the hands of a steam doctor,
has been silting still to be reduced! He certainly
“performs" to admiration. To henr him one
might believe that he really supposed he bad
gpthold of a now idea, important to tho welfurc
of the country, ond that he had at heart, some
thing more than success in his political game.-—
But let any onti, indifferent to party and anxious
only for the welfare of the community which in
volves his own, move about the United States,
talk with those who have known Mr. Van Buren
through life, not his opponents merely, but those
who act with the administration ; let him make
careful inquiries, and collect the admissions that
drop occasionally ond combine the whole. He
will, probably, come to the same conclusion that
I have done; that if tho success of “the party"
could have been secured by having a Bank ofthe
United States we should have a Bank now; that
many of those who have supported Mr. Van Bit-
ren most strenuously, have done it under tho ex
pectation that all "experiments" are finally to
terminate in a Bank; that they in truth attach hut
little importance to-the grand scheme of a Sub-
Treasury, believing that it is to be found ineffec
tual in the present poverty of the treasury for
any useful purpose, and that the main object in
bringing it forward at all, is to satisfy the expec
tation lor a measure of some kind, where so much
hud been been promised and nothing done.—
Should die government ever have money in re'
serve, it may, doubtless, be used as an instru
ment of vengeance against all Bauks that are out
of favor, by boarding the bills of any one of them
aud suddenly pouncing upon it. But this, I trust,
will not be in the power of tho present adminis-
(ration.
Mr. Senator Wright lately, in addressing an
assemblage in Wall-street, which is said to have
been no fair representation of tho merchants of
New York. went into some estimates to shew
that what money the government are likely ever
to control would be of too small an amount,in pro-
portion to the whole currency of the Country, to
lead to any of the inconveniences that Imd been
attributed to the Sub-Treasury. He reckons like
a man who does not know practically how small
a matter is sufficient to produce a great stir iu

that tho peoplCwill pronounco final condemna

u nnecessary to predict, for a few weeks more
willshew a decisive result. At least, I think so.
Look at the Georgian of August 29th, and see
tlioro the calculation ofthe votes on the Presiden
tial election, I havo out it out and carry it In my
pocket that I may havo tho pleasure of telling off
tiie several States os they come up to the pulls,
according to the estimate offerees there given.
Notice tiie admissions there, and think wliut
would havo been said of you, if, three months
ago, you had predicted that North Carolina
would seem to be given up by the administration,
and that tlio ninjority which could be counted on
with certainty would be stated in the Georgian,
itself, nt only four! Then look at the list of States
claimed ascertain to bring in Mr. Van Buren by-
Zaur votes. Maine is at the head! and what a
thunderbolt has just fallen from there! It seems
as if the whole Union might follow her lead, with
slight exceptions. »South Cnrolina, doubtless, in
blind admiration of her restless leader, may head
the adherents of Martin Van Buren (who could
have believed a few years since that this could
ever bo written?) with New Hampshire, Mis
souri, and possibly two or three more of that
grade ill her train. Next to unanimity it is well
that it should be so. But it seems probable that
tiie vote will bo so decisivo as to settle principles.
The voice of the people w|U bo heard denounc

If there be error in all this anticipation; if tiie
election is to be decided by a majority;Of four

are sound, and involve tho happiness of the

tiie people to carry them into practice; and under
such a conviction they shall have my support
whntever may be the sacrifice. The country at
large havo shewn this spirit and borne their trials
on the whole, with patience. If they now op
pose Mr. Van Buren by a large majority,^ is be

BOSTON, Sept, 20, 1640.
To the Editors of the Republican, Savannah.
Dear Sirs—We have had stiin'ng times here,
quite enough to afford amusement and interest to
a Southern mun, while stopping to cool himself
ul the North.
There hns beeu" the faHnre" at Banker Hill,
ns the administration papers term it. I rftood ut
tiie monument in Charlestown, when the head of
tho procession reached it—it was just 1 o’clock.
A friend of mine remained at the Common, in
Boston, and assured me that at that moment, tiie
rear had not disappeared from there ; there were
then more than three miles of men, by the line
of march, advancing eight abreast. BuhitseacMg
that one of the papers here had boosted that there
would be more thousands in tbe procession
than could be counted there, and, it follows, that
tho whole thing was “ a signal failure."
Now, there bos been a really 11 great and glo
rious" meeting of Mr. Van fiuron’s friends at
Springfield, in this State. What
“ Tbe largest church in tho pi
enough to accommodate them all J*
was such touching harmony !—To say nothing
of the soul-stirring eloquence of “ the present
collector," and “ the late collector," ondofol 1
tho custom house officers that went from Boston.
Tho Post says, “ all heurts, seemed melted Into
one." Precious souls! How soothing it would

When bread-atufl. are said to be scarce in Eng-
land and prices rise far and wide, the relative de
ficiency is not great. The whole quantity of fo
reign grain that is ever imported into Englund
compared with the whole consumption, is but
trifling. A well ascertained deficiency of a small
part ofthe average Cotton crop ofthe U. States
would be sufficient to cause a rise of thirty to fif
ty per cent, in tho price of the whole. II there be
only a small want oftonnage in the shipping sea
son, freights will be high, und no combination
can keep them down. Children understand Ibis
principle better than some grown people. In
one of their games a dozen stand in the middle

ofcourse, must he led standing; and tlmt is a
mark of defeat, which euch one struggles to avoid.
The scramble is as eager as if eleven seats were
wanting instead of one. Causes of the same pro •
portionate magnitude aro sufficient to produce
all the competition iu commerce. Some of Mr.
Silas Wright’s friends in Wall-street could tell
them that money is at an Exorbitant rate
than ot many times when a very m^iorate sum
in proportion to tiie payments of tiie day, if offer
ed freely, would bring down the whole to six per
cent. Let the Government withdraw a million
of dollars by making each batik in a city feel tlmt
she may bp unnecessarily run upon, and there
will be such a 1 ®ramble that tbe honorable Sena
tor would be sorry to make oue at the game.

The Man-at-Arms, by J. R. P. James. Esq.—
We have often had the pleasure of commending
the high moral attitude which this author’s works
maintain, and the stern resolution with which ho
refuses to pander to a corrupt, morbid appetite
for tales of horror, lechery and obscenity.
In none of his works are these high qualities
more conspicuous thau in this; for the scene is
laid in a country, (France) and the time it occu
pies such, that uo story of wickedness and de
pravity would have been too improbable—yet, he
has drawn his Hero and Heroine from those who
walked through the ordeal ^‘uncontaminated by
tho pollutions of tho times.
The story is toli^ the first person singular,
and iu that particular fooses much of the vivid in
terest which may bo thrown nround the actions of
another, for a certaiu degree of modesty is exacted
by the public of every* one only professing to tell
his own story. At the same time, howeVer, this
very modesty in relating adventures gives the
talo a truer resemblance to real adventures, and
iu the hands of an able writer like Mr. James, the
reader is soon lost in the intense interest which
he takes in the narrative. We do not know but
most of these adventures are real, it seems to us
they were taken from some old quaint work with
a similar title, ut all events there is a remnrkable
fidelity to historical truth preserved throughout,
considering that it only professes to be a novel,
while the portraits,both royal and plebiean, are no
doubt true to the lives, characters and personal
peculiarities ofthe individuals.
The tale derives its chief interest from tho
Huguenot struggles of the times in which it is
laid, aud the incidents are furnished from the
chivalrous deeds of that gallant hand of protes
taut gentlemen nnd noblemen who so long re
resisted the papal yoke.
The love story between tiie cousins—Henry
Do Cerons and Louise De Blancford, is one of
exquisite tenderness and interest,- and the grada’
lions from brotherly love to one of a less platon
ic nature,is exhibited with a distinctness and truth,
in both of them, which no one could sketch but a 1
master of the humnn passions. There is one
striking peculiarity in this Heroine of Mr. James
—slio does not exhibit a coy mood from the bo*
ginning of the adventures to the end, and yet he
has never drawn one of more enchanting, modes
ty. This, it wijl be peroeived at once by the dis
criutinuting reader is no easy task.
We commend this beautiful and simple tale to
all unsophisticated readers, and especially to s^ch
os have preserved their taste uncorrupted by the
buwdystyle ofthe Bulwur school. jttP

which I wus to take a part, to bring about such
an assumption for the benefit of English copiuk

sure yon, upon my honor, that no English or Eu
ropean holder of Stato debts ever suggested to
me, or in my heating, tiie remotest allusion is
the assumption or guarantee by tiie United Stata
of theso State debts. Once only was it meotioi.

tohim at once that such a scheme was unconsti

a change in-that instrument. On the contrsrr,
the inquiry was always as to tho right of lbs
States individually to create debt, and their pro
bable ability to redeem it.
It was, an l have said before, a gloomy period
for Americnn affairs in Euglund, and much ofihi
gratification of my visit Was impaired by (lie cob

Massachusetts bonds. What did I do? Ign
