THE ELECTIONS.
W e are sorry that we have not cheering' news to
communicate to our friends abroad of the result of !
our elections last .Monday. The returns already re
moved show a decided gain to the Harrison ticket lor i
members «/T Congress, w hich can he overbalanced j
only by a large increase of votes for our ticket in
some of our strong counties, and especially in the
Cherokee counties. Rut if these counties do not
give an increase of votes, the Harrison ticket must
succeed by a small majority. We have hopes vet; hut
we must confess that, judging of the returns to he
heard from, by those already received, we much fear 1
that the deceptions, misrepresentations, and false
statements ofour opponents,have too well succe ded
with a credulous, though intelligent people, who,
too late, will find that imposition has been practised
upon them. With regard to the legislature, the
Harrison party may have a majority in the Senate,
stnd possibly in the II mse also; the returns to he
received will delenmn * the complexion of that le
gislative body. Rut it is remarkable that so far,
the loss ofour party, for the legislature, has been
diet;ted hv a few votes. Iu Cwiuuett, .Monroe, Rihli,
Jasper, and Washington, the I larrispn ticket suc
•-cecded hy a few votes Another battle is soon to i
take place. Will our friends he wide awake / I
\\ ill they let tlie whigs carry the state fir a 1
man who will he a mere tool in the hands of {'lav, !
Webster, and other federal leaders? We cannot
ibelieve it yet. We will believe such a result only
'when the Governor will have issued his proeiama
: tion, anmmneiau the choice hy the citizens of Geo r- j
; gia, ot men, as electors, who will vote for General i
Harrison as Pn-sid nt ol the United Slates. Wc j
• ran rest contented with the election to Uoti/res-of
the gentlemen composing the Harrison ticket. We i
cun rest contented with a legislature opposed to us j
iu political principles; hut we shall certainly he j
mortified and grieved, surprised and amaz >d, should
3 the votes ul Georgia he given to General Ilan i-on. j
frCr We would call the particular attention of ’
•-•■Mir Southern readers, to the following extract
tlfrom an article in the New York Herald of October
1. The piper is Wh g and violently opposed to
"the present Administration, hat pretends in act
ind<*pem , cnlly in the present political contest.
“Mr. Webster, who is regarded as the exponent
of the views of the Whig .party, jo his chihor.te
speech to the merchants of this city on Monday, |
avowed in direct and explicit terms his preference
for a national institution, to regulate the currency
-of 'he Country, ami although tie premised that he
, spoke far himself alone, and disclaimed any nu
-thority to make an exposition of the doctrines or
intentions of the new adrni istratjon, sill his de
• ■claration is looked upon as a decisive indication of
the policy of the party, and as evidence of the de.
“termination of the Whigs to establish a National 1
Hank, in the event of Gen. Harrison's election
“During the Presidential campaign, the whig
••orators, and all the authorised organs of the party, j
have studiously abstained from any discussion of
their own principles. The parly opposed to Mr.
Van Boren embraces such a variety of discordant
materials and is so heterogeneous in its compost- 1
Don. hat any distinct avowal of its doctrines i
“Would disband and scatter it to the four winds of
t heaven, at once, lint by sinking all minor diffor
-enres of opinion, waiving the discussion of all dts- 1
iturhinir topics, and agreeing to coalesce for the I
-expulsion of the Administration, they have gone
•»'ni with great harmony. It is not often that the j
Whigs agree, but when they do, their unanimity is j
•» wonderful.
“The growing expectation of whig success,
•« eems to have had a beneficial influence on trade
and business generally. It has already created
«t onfidenee in certain quarters, and General tlarri
-4 on’s election, with the adoption of any new tnea- f
x tires, wi l give an artificial stimulus that will be
Ai niporanly advantageous to the country.”
UNITED STATES AND PORTUGAL.
The New York Evening Post has the following
tn murks upon a treaty lately concluded between
«1 tis country and Portugal;
“VV e learn from the Globe that onr worthy and ;
a ole representative at the court of Lisbon, Mr. j
K uvanngh, has at last succeeded in accomplishing
ie object of his mission, a treaty of commerce
hi id navigation having been concluded ar.d signed

I , ,
[ From Ih* IV. Y. Evening Pont.]
' The \V hgs arc attempting to give n new turn to
’he project of paying the Stale debts out of the
Federal treasury. Mr Webster in his recent
speech at the Merchants’ Exchange, speaking of
ihe assumption of the >'!ate debts hy the general
i government said :
“It i- charged on <ts that we desire this assnmp
j lion. Ido not. however, know a man in Congress,
that entertained the opinion that Congress had
power to assume State debts, or could exercise it
jif it had. It could no more assume .Stale Debts,
\ than llie State of .Maine or any other State could.
I eto-ji' from fhls the rrorieds arising fnan the sale
\of public hinds. I’m I say that in relation to the
i assumption ot State debts, such as Grundy argues
. against, 1 never met the man who said there was
j any such power in Congress.”
This is a most extraordinary iteclaration. If
Mr W ebster and his political brethren in the Uni
te S rrcs Senate were not in favor of saddling the
federal government with ihe State dehls, why did
they not say so when the vote was taken upon
I ihe resolution in’rudttced by Mr. Grundy ? Here
i- that resolution ;
“Resolved, That the assumption,'directly nr in
directly, hy the general government, of the debts
i which have hern or may he contracted for ihe
j States f..r local objects or Slate purposes, would
j he unjust both to the Slates and the people.”
This Resolti ion was before the Senate on the
lOlti of February last. Mr Webster, to avoid the
I quesiion, made a motion that the Senate adjourn,
which was rejected by 27 votes to 10. The reso
lotion was then p ssed hy 30 yeas to a single vote
in the negative ; but in the meantime, .Mr Weh
| stir, w ith his political associates. Clay, Crittenden,
Davis Merrick, Southard and Tallmadje. left the
; Senate just before their names were called, and
thus refused to express their opinions on the re
i solution.
The object of this course is plain enough.—
These lenders of the whig party intended to se
cure :he favor of that powerful and active class,
i the speculators and owners of stale storks, by let
j ting them know that they would do nothing against I
them if they could do nothing for them. They
meant that this class should inter that they are in
| favor of assuming the state dehls either “directly !
or indirectly.”
And so in fact Mr. Webster confesses in the pas
sage we have quoted. He would not directly as
sume the state debts ; his tender regard for the
constitution would not allow him to do that. Hu;
what he cannot come at. directly he would reach
, hy another method; there is one branch of the
i public revenue, the proceeds of the public lands,
which he is for distributing among the slates to pay
their debts with if they have any.
I Well ;we suppose the stock owners and spent
; In tors will not care in what manner Mr. Webster
and his friends effect their object if it is only ef
fected at last. Boih in England and here they
will feel just as lively an interest in the success of
Harrison, whether they are to get money out of
the public treasury hy direct violation of the con
stitution, or by an artful and fraudulent construc
| tion.
But Mr. Web.-ter went yet further than to refuse
his vote on Mr. Grundy’s resolution. In a speec h
made by him at Boston, on the steps of the iMate
House, before the whig members of the Massa
chusetts legislature, just after his return from Eng
land, and previous to taking his seat in Congress,
| he put firth the following specific plan of securing
| the payment of the State debts by the guaranty of
Congress. Mr. W ebster said—we quote his words
as we find them in the Bay Slate Democrat of yes
| terday—
“l cannot se** any constitutional objection
I to Congress ceding the public lands to the several
! States, and the Slates so receiving them, pledging
i the General Government that the proceeds of the
sale shall be appropriated towards the payment of
the public debts contracted for internal improve
ments.”
With what face can Mr. Webster, after this, say
that he is not in favor of making the general gov
ernment assume the state debts ? Appropriating
the public property to that object—obliging the
states who receive it to give security that it shall
be so applied—if that is not assuming the State
debis, there is no process which can be called oy
the name.

LEVI WOODBURY,
Secretary of the Treasury .
[From the N. I’. Journal of Commerce .]
From Chili. — By the ship Natchez,Capt. Hayes
we have advices from Valparaiso to July 16th.
The Chilian Congress commenced its session on
the Ist of June. The President of the Republic,
Don Joaquin Prieto, being ill, the Message was de
livered by the Vice President, Joaquin Tocornal.— j
It occupies between three and tour columns of the i
j Valparaiso Mercury.
This document gives a very cheering view of the
state and prospects of the country, which it repre
-1 sents as having enjoyed lor ten years, under the ad
ministration of General Prieto, (whose term of ser
; vice is about to expire.) internal tranquility, and all
i the other blessings of a good government. During
this period it is stated that all the branches of useful j
| industry have prospered; schools have been estab- |
lished; roads have been opened; mauv useful reforms j
h ; ive been introduced into the laws and administra
tion of justice; and every department of the public '
| service has been placed upon a footing of order, re- j
; 1 gularitv and economy.
! The war waged against Gen. Santr Cruz, (then
I Protector of Bolivia and Peru,) was carried on w ith
out anticipating the revenue, creating new loans, or
levying new taxes; and w hatever may he said of the
policy or justice of it, its successful result has un
questionably added to the national importance of
* Chili, and placed her in the foremost rank of the
* South American States.
The rerenne for the past year appears to ha ve been
s $2,289,103
l and the expenditures about 1,70U,000
- Leaving a surplus of $589,108
ot which about 200,000 have been remitted to Eng- 1
land on account ofthe interest due to the Bond hold- i
ers. New Custom House stores are erecting iu
Valparaiso, which will cause an outlay of $100,000;
I the rest ot the surplus will he expended in further
I payments to the Ei|j|i«h Bond holders,and internal
improvements. Tite army has been reduced to 1(590
men, hut the militia form a very considerable, well
j organized, and w !l disciplined body of troops.
A reduction has also taken place in the navy,
which is now • omposed ofa new and powerful trig
ale of the first class, and a lew small vessels.
it is satisfactory to see from tlie Vice President’s
| address, that the long deferred claims of American )
j citizens are atiast in a tuir way of being adjusted
: and paid.
tKyMecopy what follows from the Baltimore
I Republican of October 3.
j ATTEMPT TO BURN THE REPUBLICAN OFFICE. ■
I On Friday morning, between ihe hours of one j
j and two o’clock, the young men engaged in the
mail department, heard the footsteps of some in
j dividual ascending the stairway of our office, and
| a few miiimes afterwards the same (outsteps were
heard descending. It being < ttsfomary for those
engaged in the establishment to pass in and out at
aii hours of the night, as well ns day, no particular
notice was paid to (he noise which they had heard, i
But a short lime, however, had elapsed, before it
became necessary for one of the persons engaged
m preparing the mail, to visit the press-room, which
is in the third story of the building, for a further
supply of papers, and upon reaching the top of the
first flight of steps, he found the passage way in a
light blaze, whereupon the alarm was given; and
the fire thus lor utistely discovered, extinguished
in time to prevent, nut only a destructive coulla- \
gration, hut most probably a loss of human life.
The press-room in which four persons w ere at
work at :fie lime) being in the third story, from
which ihere is hut a single Tight of narrow steps,
by vvhrdi those engaged in that department ascend
and descend, all means of escape for them would 1
have been entirely cut off, the fire having been
placed at the bottom of the steps.
Immediately in the rear of the building which wc
occupy,and in which, (although in a separate depart- j
incut,) is printed the “Spirit of Democracy,” is a
very extensive lumber yard, in the centre ot a large ,
square, and surrounded hy buildings equally as
comlinstiblo as the yard itself. Had the incendiary 1
succeeded in his hellish attempt, the entire septate
must have been consumed, uud even our unequalled
firemen would have been put to the utmost extent
of their powers to have sarved onr noble Exchange
building, a part of which is occupied hv the Fix
change iJotei, Custom-House, Merchants’ Bunk,
&c.
Our political course, we are well aware, has ere
i ated against the Republican tite bitterest party
feelings, yet we cannot bring ourselves to believe
that he WU'te parly would connive at, much loss
instigate such a mode of getting rid of a political
adversary—nor do we now entertain such an idea
for a moment, —hut we do believe, that tltc inflam
matory remarks of such men us Stockton, JSonth
ard, Preston and others, have so worked np the !
worst passions of the human heart, that there are <
those among our political opponents, who would
; riot hesitate one moment, if they dated , to “t.IVE j
our roofs to the flames, and our
,FLESH to THE EAGLES”
'I Ins is not the first a tempt winch has been made |
to burn out the “Republican office,” hy some three |
or four; vve therefore feel it a duty which we owe
i to ourselves and our friends, to offer 100 dollars
i reward, for the detection and conviction of the vil
j lain or villains who have sought to wrap us in the
flames of our house.
[From the New York Journal of Commerce.]
SPECIE.
The rate of exchange has become so much
against us, that the packets of to-day will probably I
; lake a considerable sum in specie. The shortness
: of the lime belore the presentation of the bills on
the other side, which the steamers have established
! has a tendency to raise the price of bills, and the
saute despatch in sending specie has a icnnency i
to start that off at. a lower rate of exchange than
before The steamers, thereiore, will make it ne
cessary for merchants to regulate their calculations
for specie shipments to respond more promptly than
before to large importations ’The effect on trade
will not he injurious, that vve can see. 'Flip gen
i oral tendency of rapid intercourse is highly favora- i
file to the stability of irado. It prevents merchants
from acting long under the influence of erroneous I
impress! ms,and so accumulating goods in a had mar
kct. The shipments of Flour to England for in
stance, ha\e this year been conducted with punch
more certainty than ever before, and with a suc
cess seldom before equalled. Bo it is with impor
tations. The wants of the day are readily met.—
Anything can bo speedily procured, and there is
not the same necessity for large stocks which for- |
merly existed. There is an advantage of this sort,
growing out of the rapid transmission of intelli
gence, which ts very noiseless, but very impor- 1
taut.
The accounts carried out hy the packets of to
day must be very satisfactory on the other side
Business is going on healthfully, all over our coun
try; and as largely as the best interests of the coun
try allow. If i lie prices of our principal articles of
. produce are lower than at some other times, n is in
a great measure counterbalanced by the abun
dance which Providence has bestowed upon ns
Many worthy men are embarrassed by past revul
sions, and with them, of course, limes are hard and
i prospects gloomy; hut in the general walks of ac
tive business, vve never saw more cheerfulness and
confidence Our abundant harvests are gathered
securely. The products of the last year are clear
ed off, and so are the products of this, so far as
l hey have appeared in market. Every tiling finds
ready sale, —and some articles, a- ashes and tobac
i co, at high prices. Onr manufactories are all in
motion, and very generally doing well. The wa
; ges of labor in the manufacturing parts of the coun
try, and through the country generally, are higher
in proportion to the cost of the comforts of life, than
at almost any former period of our history. The
slock of foreign goods in our markets is very light,
i and all fresh importations are readily sold at good
i profiis. Money is plenty, and confidence in a good ,
| state, except so far as it is impaired by the contin
ued suspension of pecie payments at the South.
Un the whole, we think the capitalists of Europe
had better not lend our Sovereignties much mo
ney, but thev may be well assured tiiat what vve
now owe them, is as well invested as their loans to
the sovereignties of Europe.
Very contradictory statements will probably go
; out respecting the prospects ofour gathering cotton
j crop; though we believe no body doubts that we
j shall have considerable cotton to sell. The Doc-
I tors disagree, and we are not able to settle the con
| troversy.
\Ve w ould not have the people of Europe cither
alarmed or tickled at the prospect of political com

And we would have them understand that notwith
standing all the hard names we call each other, if j
any of them presume to interfere in our affairs, they
will find us as firm and united as a hand of brothers ■
as ever set wrong at defiance. As to the next Pres

Ty, Old Hickory, or Matty Van Buren; among these
if we were to give onr opinion as to which will sue
crod, we sliou Id say it will be lie who gets tlAmost
votes.

The Margarine Cnntlles. —This is a new kind
of candles that have been used for several years in
1 aris, hut have only recently been introduced into
tlitp country. 1 hey are prepared, we believe, from
tallow, hut in such a wav that they are not surpas
sed either lor brilliancy «>r strength of light, or hard
ness ami durability, by the best sperm candles that
an' manufactured. It is said thev may be shipped
to anv part of the globe without soiling the niateri
fits in which they are enclosed, and are found to re
siyf the heat ol the warmest latitudes. The wicks
being plaited, never require smith rig, and what is
especially t« be noted, the candles are sold about
thirty per cent lower than the common sperm.
These candles ere made at the extensive soap and
ceiidle factory of Messts. Hull & son, No. 108
Liill-st. This establishment is carried on by steam
process, by which about fifty thousand pounds of
yellow, and twenty thousand pounds of fancy soap
' ur!; made weekly. The enterprise of the proprie
tors has enabled them gradually to enlarge their op
erations, until a row ot four large brick buildings is
scarcely sjuice enough to accommodate their busi
ness.
