From the N. Y. Express of the 22d.
Maine Election-« The Question Settled.
Returns have now been received from every town
in the State except three or four, which do not
throw more than one hundred votes in all, and the
result is that Kent is elected by a majority of about
400 over Fairfield. The scattering votes are few.
The Portland Advertiser states that only ten have
been heard from so far. There can no longer be
anyfdoubtthat Kent is elected by the people.
What will be the number of scattering votes,
cannot now be determined, but probably it will not
exceed 100.
In case there should be no choice by the people,
the House of Representatives present to the Sen
ate the names of the two persons having the high
est number of votes, and that body makes choice
of one. As the Senate is Whig, Mr. Kent will in
cither case be the next Governor.
From the N. Y. Express of the 23 d.
Further.
The discrepancies between us and the Loco
Foco Journals, which do not admit the Election
of Kent, and do not claim the Election of Fair
field, are occasioned by differences of from one to
ten votes in some «f the Towns. It will be im
possible 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, taking the Loco Foco admission of “no
choice.” The returns the Loco Foco Presses
now give are but to ease their fall; and as the
official returns cannot begot at (ill January, they
will cling to their cry of “ no choice,” as in 1837.
From the*Boston Mer. Jour, of Tuesday Evening'
It is not yet fully and clearly decided to the
satisfaction of all concerned, that Kent is elect
ed Governor of Maine—although it is pretty ev
ident that Fairfield is not elected Governor.—
The Eastern Argus of yesterday publishes re
turns from nearly all the towns, and makes the
votes for Kent. 44,253 ; Fairfield, 44.280—thus
• giving Fairfield a small plurality. On the other
hand, the Atlas of this morning states with con
fidence, that Kent is elected, and gives the re
turns from all the towns, as follows; Kent, 45,-
397: Fairfield, 45,052 —making Kent’s majority
345.
The Philadelphia Inquirer states that Mr. Norris,
the celebrated engine manufacturer of that citv,
has just received an order from Frankfort on the
Oder, in Germany, for fifteen of his best locomo
tives. This Is indeed gratifying, and tells well for
American ingenuity abroad.
What has become of the “ Democracy of num
bers ?” We hear nothing of this once favorite
phrase novr-a-days from the partizans of Van Bu
ren. The tune is changed. The recent elections
have changed it. “ Tell us, ye self-styled Demo
crats, can they be the Democracy who are confes
sedly a minority of the People ? They may be
radicals, or destructives, or Federalists in disguise
—but is it not paradoxical to call them the Democ
racy ? Hunt up your Lexicons, gentlemen Locos,
and look at the derivation of the word, and see if
it does not mean the People. and then answer if a
minority' of the People is or can be the People.”—
Hartford Democrat.
The following gentlemen wcr f - on Monday, the
14th inst. elected members of the Town Council
of Aiken, to serve for one year:—lntendant
Capt, Wm. Robertson, Jr. W r ardcns—Stephen
Owens, Jas. Tapper, Lewis Jones, Jr, 8. Lee Al
lison.
Foreign Mails.—Mails for Liverpool will he
despatched from the Boston Post office on the Ist
of every month, and on the 15th of March,
April, May, June, July, August and September.
Letters, directed to any person or to the care of
any person in Groat Britain or France, can be
forwarded from any Post Office in the United
States, by mailing them to Boston for distribution,
post paid to Boston.
A New Tariff of Prices.— The iron mas
ters, and those connected with the business m the
citv of Pittsburgh, entered into, within a few
days, a new tariff of prices, at an advance of half
a cent per pound or ten dollars per ton, on all
kinds of iron manufacture. A similar increase
is asked for pig lead.
Major Eaton.
This warm, and zealous supporter, and friend of
Gen. Jackson and his Administration, has, since his
return, taken a decided stand against the measures
of Mr. Van Buren and his re-eleclion. We copy
the following from among many notices of his re
cent efforts before the people, in the cause of Har
rison and Reform.
From the Columbus (Ohio) Journal , Sept. 15.
Major Eaton.—This distinguished gentle
man stopped in our city, last evening, on his way
to Tennessee. He was waited upon by a large
number of our citizens, who were anxious to pay
their respects to a man whose name has been so
conspicuous in American politics. He is decided
ly for Gen. Harrison, and that too above all dis
guise. Ho made a short, oil-hand address to a
large assemblage collected to hear him at the Log
Cabin. It seemed to tell with great effect upon
his audience, ami he was frequently greeted with
decided manifestations of applause.
He said he was always a Republican, and
spoke of the warm and firm attachment he had
always felt and still feels for Gen. Jackson. He
spoke of the prosperity of the country when he
left it four vears ago—of the change that has
come over it since. He alluded to the standing
army project as anti-republican and dangerous—
and of the coalition between Van Buren and Cal
houn in terms of disapprobation. He also spoke
of the tariff and United States Bank, and said
Gen. Harrison occupies precisely the same ground
in relation to the latter that President Madison
did. He said he was in the United States Senate
when John Randolph charged Gen. Harrison
with federalism, and heard Harrison promptly
repel the charge.
He said he was glad to see the People determin
ed to“ rein in ” the present Administration in its
wild career. He said he should support Gen.
Harrison because he thought him the most re
publican, and because a reform is needed in the
administration of the General Government. He
was decidedly for a “ change.”
We have but briefly alluded to the subjects of
his speech, without being able to do more at pres
ent. He said a great deal in a short space, and
the ground he took was altogethei manly and
above-board.

United States, with the following suras paid him

nati Gazette.
The way the Money has gone.
We condense a statement of losses to the Gov
ernment by Receivers of Public Monies for Lands,
as reported to Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury, on the 15th of January, arranged so as
to show the loss during each administration,
commencing with that ot Mr. Adams.
Total defalcations in Land Receivers, §966,596 23
Loss before Mr. J. Q. Adams’ ad

during Van Lmen’s from 4*h of
March, 1837, to 26th Jan. 1839,
1 year and 10 months, 215,336 36
This shows the defalcations in this department,
during Mr. Adam’s administration at §l3 184 a
year—under Gen. Jackson’s §62,750 a year, and
under Van liuren’s at the rate of §117,456 a
year, or upwards of nine times as much as under
Mr. Adams’. And many of these defaulters have
been continued in office increasing their defaults,
because they were efficient electioneerers.— Cin
cinnuti Gazette.
Western Wit.—The great excitement in
the West brings out much originality on their
Banners, and in political meetings- At Dayton
(Ohio,) one Banner represented Amos Kendall
on his back, his heels in the air, his hat falling
off, and Extra Globes tumbling forth— motto,
“ charge along the whole line.”
One person had on the top of a long pole a
purse four or five feet in length, filled with the
shin plasters ot the present day—motto ; “ALL
BUT THE GOLD.”
In one of the Log Cabins was o. hve wolf Wwh
a sheep skin tied on him—motto ; “A PATENT’
DEMOCRAT.”
One banner represented GENERAL Crary, on
a poor bob-tail poney, with a shot gun in his hand,
valiantly charging upon a water melon.
Another represented Van Buren running down
hill, his locks and coat tail streaming in the wind,
and a barrel of “hard cider” after him;” he was
crying out “stop that barrel.”
Upon another were the letters “K K O K.” this
was too hard for us and we asked the bearer its
meaning ; he told us it meant kan’t koine it over
Korwin.
Sinnplasters and Morality.— ‘ Speaking
of shinpiasters,” said a speculative friend ofours
yesterday, “the evil of them is not confined to the
injury done to the public pocket, neither to that
inflicted on the public morals. The social moral
ity of the private circle has suffered from it.
Time was,” said he, “ when a gentleman dared
not mention a plaster of any kind in a mixed
company, much less a shinplaster, —the disgus
ting expression would not be tolerated for a mo
ment; but now the ladies all over town, of every
grade and all ages, talk about shinpiasters with
out reserve, and as glibly as about silks and sat
ins in every cry goods stores.—Thus too is our
language perverted, words being turned from
their original uses, and made to express ideas not
belonging to them ; and thus might any prohibi
ted words and phrases, connected with immoral
or indecent ideas, be familiarized to the ear of the
moral, the delicate and the pure.”
The Plague in Rome.—The Boston Trans
cript says,—“A gentleman of this city, who came
passenger in the Britannia, informs us that he
had proceeded as far as Florence on his way to
Rome, but hearing that the plague was raging se
verely in Rome, and that it would be extreme!}'
dangerous to proceed thither, he returned back
and took passage for Boston in the Britannia.
Pj stressing Shipwreck —The brig Apollo,
of Biddeford, bound from Savannah for the Isle
of Man, with lumber, went on ashore Long Island,
near Cape Inlet, on Saturday the 19th inst. The
Captain ami five men were dead, and the mate
nearly dead, and three men only were left to man
age the vessel.
We have been politely furnished with the fol
lowing excellent letter, from Rev Mr. Mosely, m
reply to an invitation extended him by the Mari
on county Whigs, to be with them at their late
Barbecue. It is a good letter, such a one as does
honor to the head and heart of the plain republi
can who penned it.
Bear Creek, Henry Co., August 18.
Gentlemen: —Your kind favor of the 14th
is before me, and I assure you it would afford me
great pleasure to comply with the request it con
tains, and meet my fellow citizens of Marion.
But at present it is out of my power. lam “Cor
responding Messenger” to several associations
and were I to neglect my religious duties to at
tend to political matters, it would give our oppo
nents an opportunity to assail me, with success.
So long as I “ render to Ccesar the things that
are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God s
I shall bid them defiance.
It is a matter of surprise to me that any man,
with the evidence before him contained in the his
tory of our Government, as regards its rise, foun
dation, progress and unexampled prosperity,
should wish to support a man that not only con
templates, but is actually engaged in effecting, a
change in the system adopted by W ashington
and Jefferson and Madison and Monroe a sys
tem the value of which has been proved by its
successful operation; for under it vve as a nation
have rrtisen from poverty and wretchedness, to
wealth, intelligence and a degree of prosperity un
exampled in the history of the world. With the
evidence before their eyes, that derangement, dis
tress and disorganization, have attended every
step of the proposed change, we are gravely told
by our youthful politicians that the system of our
government, as introduced by those ancient wor
hies, was unconstitutional. If so, it follows,
that those men did not understand the very con
stitution they aided in forming, else they were
base enough to swear to support it, and then dis
regard their oaths I
Isit not passing strange that Jackson when Sen
ator to Congress, did not discover that the Bank
and Credit System were unconstitutional, and
though under all the solemnities of an oath, he
never did find out that fact until he discovered
that Nick Biddle and other Bank officers would
not submit to his dictation. (I say the Bank and
Credit System because if you reduce our circu
lation to gold and silver, I think I hazard nothing
in saying down goes the credit system and with
it the brightest prospects of all the poor young
men of the country. J But are we authorized
to believe that Jackson was sincere in his pre
tensions as regards the unconstitutionality of the
Bank? I think not. What does he say when
ho vetoed the act rc-chartering the bank I In
substance, “if you had called on me, I would
have presented a plan that would have met their
exclusive approbation.” Now, some kind of a
Bank was constitutional; and if the dictator had
been consulted, what sort of a Bank would it
have been, think you ? Why it wmuld have
been a Bank without Nick Biddle at its head —
just such a one as Mr. Van Buren now wants, one
over which the President would have had control.
It would have been based on the treasury of the
country and been just what we now have, a gov
ernment Bank. Look at the Sub-Treasury ! A
hard money currency with a batch of treasury
notes as a circulating medium. The office-hol
ders and government contractors will get the
gold and silver, and sell it at ten to twenty per
cent profit for Bank notes, with which to pay
poor men who labor. The hard money will soon
all find its way into the vaults of the Indepen
dent Treasury, and there it will be independent.
sure enough, of you and me and all of us!
Give b in then his treasury notes to hoard up or
issue at pleasure, and he will control the prices
of preperty and wages and every thing, at his
pleasure. Then add his army of 200,000 Mili
tia to all (his, and farewell to independence—
farewell to prosperity and liberty !
Gentlemen, I hope the freemen of Georgia
are not prepared to bow down at the footstool of
any man who favors such proceedings!
I know that by the active course I am taking
in this contest I am bringing down the execra
tions of many—some of my brethren have suf
fered it to interfere with their feelings. Butnone
of these feelings shall move me; I look upon it
as a contest of liberty against despotism—of vir
tue against vice, and neither do I hold my life
dear unto me so that I finish my course with joy,
and perpetuate the liberties and institutions of my
country, so far as my efforts can go, to the latest
generations.
I am, gentlemen, with considerations of great
respect, vour obedient servant.

Kennry, and John M. Minter, Committee.
Electric Telegraph. — A telegraph worked
by electricity is in operation on the Great Western
Railway, between Drayton and Paddington in
England, by which news is conveyed at the ra ! e
of two hundred thousand miles per second, or
eight thousand times quicker than light travels
during the same period. Electrical currents pas
sing through coils of copper wire placed imme
diately behind some magnetic needles, arc made
to operate upon a circular series of twenty let
ters, which indicate such terms, either separately,
or collectively, as they have been arranged to rep
resent. This telegraph will act day and night,
in all states of the weather, and with such rapi
dity that one minute only is required for the com
munication of thirty signals.
An Incident. —The Louisville Journal states
that while Gen. Harrison was addressing the
tremendous crowd at Dayton, on the 10th instant,
the mail arrived with a letter for a leading Whig
in the crowd, giving the particulars of the glori
ous victory in V ermont. Old Tippecanoe paus
ed in the midst of his eloquence, and the letter
was read in a loud tone from one of the speakers’
stands. Mighty, beyond description, was the
shout that followed. Seventy-five or eighty
thousand voices mingled in one long and startling
thunder peal.
Mr, Jaudon. —The London correspondent of
the New York Courier says:—“l believe that Mr.
Jaudon goes out in the Great Western on her
next voyage to New York—but only on a v isit,
and to return to England on the return of the same
steam-ship,—This gentleman will be enabled to
give valuable views to his friends—as he is allow
ed by the London capitalists to be a man of very
expanded mind—and in the late difficulties of
American monetary affairs, he has served his
country well.
The Tulip Manta. —From the year 1734 to
1737, the tulip speculation raged in Holland to
a still gieater extent, if possible, than the mu ti
cauiis speculation did in this country, two or
three years ago. Many of the Dutch, from the
greatest to the meanest, disposed of their all to
er >gage in the trade. The tulips sold at most
extravagant prices. A Spanish cabinet valued at
£IOOO, and £3OO besides, were once given for one
of the Semper Augustus variety ; and another
gentlemen sold three stalks of the same flower
lor £IOOO. A collection of tulips w r ere sold by
the executors of an estate, for £9OOO, or about
$45,000
Roheut Burns’ BiaLE.—TheMontreal Her
ald of I uesday last says;—“We mentioned in
yesterday s Herald that the Bible presented by the
immortal Burns to his Highland Mary was pur
chased by a few of his countrymen in the city.
.They met on Monday evening, and agreed that
the sacred relic should he transmitted to the Pro
vost of Ayr, to be by him deposited in the Mon
ument on the Banks of the Doon, as an humole of
fering from Scotchmen in Montreal, at the shrine
of Scotland’s Bard.”
Defalcation in France.
Mr. Walsh, in one of his late letters to the ed
itors of the National Intelligencer, gives the fol
lowing instance as a specimen of the rigour with
which defalcation is treated in France:
“ Having treated of juries and trials, I will im
prove the occasion to mention a criminal case (of
the 22d inst.) which occurred at the Cou-t of
Assizes of the Seine. It is that of a ATr. Durand,
collector of the direct taxes of the first district of
Paris, charged with having appropriated to his
own use, or embezzled the public money to the
amount of thirty thousand francs, six thousand
dollars. He is about sixty years of age and had
borne an excellent character. He appeared at the
bar with the decoration of the Legion of Honor
which the Chief Judge, though it was duly ob
tained for old public services, compelled him to
withdraw at o.:~e, as the law suspends all the
civil rights of one arraigned for crime. The em
bezzlement began in 1828. and proceeded by an
nual sums of from 2,000 to 3,000, 4,000 to 5,000
francs portions being replaced from lime to time;
unlucky speculations out of his office betrayed
him into the speculation. He showed that he
and his family expended for their subsistence on
ly three thousand francs per annum : a number
of witnessess attested the general morality and
respectability of his life. The lawyers exerted
themselvesand con.; three hundred and six
ty questions or points were submitted to the jury,
who, after three hours of deliberation brought
in at two o’clock in the morcing, a verdict of
guilty against Durand but acquitted his Clerk,
also a member of the Legion of Honor, (includ
ed in-the indictment,) on the ground of non-par
ticipation inthedesign or object of falsifying en
tries, &c. The Court sentenced Durand to eight
years of hard labor in the galleys, exposition on
the pillory, a fine of four thousand francs, and ad
ditional twelvemonth of imprisonment if the fine
were not paid. The President or Chief Judge
finished by this address to him : ou have been
wanting to honor ; I pronounce in the name of
the Legion of Honor that you have now ceased
to be a member thereof.” I cite this case to
show how defalcation is treated in France. The
advanced age, the moral repute, the domestic fru
gality, tne old public service of Durand, entitled
{ him to all the lenity compatible with the law and
public weal. In the United States, the public
exchequer has been, ever since the administra
tion of Washington, robbed by public functiona
ries, and others indirectly; who wallowed in
luxury, with impunity such as to form the strong
est contrast. Under your new Sub-Treasury
system you will have more receivers of public
money than heretofore. You must think of the
salutary rigor exercised in this monarchy.”
An Irishman’s Dream. —We have good au
thority for the following anecdote :
In Newark, Ohio, lives a son of the “ Green
Isle of the Ocean,” who has some shrewdness
and wit, and more honesty and candor. He had
been, up to the last week, a supporter of Van
Buren. The light, however, burst upon him,
and he acknowledged the claims of Harrison to
the support of the American people. As soon
as he had made the fact known, the Postmaster
called on him, and said to him—
“ Friend James, is it true that you have left
our ranks and gone over to those Whigs'?”
“ And sure it is, honey. Did ye not hear of
my dhrame ?”
“ Why, sure now, an’ I dhramed when I was
asleep, that the spirit of the great Washington,
the greatest man that iver was born, came to me,
and he says to me, in as goed Inglish as ye iver
heard spoken, siz he, ‘James Malone, oh! why
will ye be aflher opposing me brave boy that I
appointed to office myself, to help Mad Anthony
to wl ip the bloody savages off the very ground
ye stand on, an’ all the time ye been tryin’ to keep
that spalpeen of a Van Buren in me seat, to be a
disgrace to it all the days *f his life ?’ ”
“Answer me that, honey.”
“An’ siz I, ‘is Gineral Harrison ycr biave hoy,
an’ did j’e appoint him to office ycr own self, an’
did ye love him V
“Sure, an’ I did,” siz he.
“ Thin,” siz I, “ I crave yer pardon, Gineral
Washington, an’ all uv the likes ov ye, for I be
lieved that story was all a Whig lie, as our Post
master, the spalpeen, said it was. Sure, thin, I
will oppose yer brave boy no longer, hut will do
ivery thing I can for him, bless yer honor, an’
peace to yer sowl. An’ thin he smiled, and wint
away p'eased with Jimmy.”
“ Pshaw,” said the Post-master, “ the devil of
whiskey has been in you.”
“ An’ there has been no divii of whiskey at all
at all in me, boy ; hut there’s one very near me,
an’ if ye don’t mind yer eye, he will rise up and
strip the pea-fowl feathers from yer dirty carcase,
that he will—bad luck to ye,” —Wheeling Gaz.
The Merchants of New York are to have a
meeting to-day, and Daniel Webster is to
address them.
A an Burenism.— The Claremont Eaglestates
that Mr Colton, the Postmaster at Hartford, V t.,
has been turned out of office, because he would
not subscribe fifteen dollars towards a Van Bu
ren paper at Woodstock !
Never have vve seen any thing so thoroughly

Let parents read the following paragraph, and
mark it well: “Childhood is like a mirror— catch

polished steel, staining it with rust, which no af

The Temperance Cause in Ireland.— The
progress of the Temperance Reform is rapid as
ever in Ireland. Our late accounts are of the
most cheering character. The converts were in
creasing in number, while the violators of the
pledge were few and far between. A great mee
ting was recently held at Moate, at which Dr.
Higgins addressed 25,000 persons.
Another Lexington Sufferer. —The re
mains of a man fi ated on shore a few days since
at Wading River, L. I. A watch was in the
pocket of the pantaloons, and in one of the hoots,
‘ E. B. Gleason, Esq.’ with the name of the maker
at Boston. The apparel was fine. The remains
were respectfully interred in the Parish burying
ground.
Amos and his PuocExr.-We find the fol
lowing palpable hit in the Rochester Democrat:
When the Whig guns at dead of night,
Had wak d the babes in sad affright,
Amos with a sharp look and piercing eve,
Says, “ Hush my dears, lie still don’t cry!”
the “Heaven born,” then resumes his quill,
