A The Result of the Election.
oVJww', '' It will' be seen by the report . of the
i -election la our county end State that the
. Democrats ere defeated by large majority.
t-j A TT,5g- does not at all surprise us when we
ia ii- consider the mease by w hich it was acoora
HI i plhihed. Of the causes of our defeat, we
' Ji will apeak hereafter.
ntliu Jf Dsmocrats are to be beaten, It could
J'" "toot be at a tnore favorable t ime tlian the
-a ut ; present. The triumph of our opponents
, ' " -will be of short duration. They are bound
'1 ' together by in principle. The only tie
is I) that unites' them is a desire for spoils, and
no '-JnbW that they are successful, they will very
J uvgoon quarrel among themselves. ..
The ground upon which the Democratic
,k"r.ir porty stands .is firm and sure. Our princi-
Vplcsare unchangeable and eternal. They
t -" 're a part of the very government itself.
. -v Popular prejudice and fraud may gain now
' and then a temporary triumph, but sooner or
later, Democratic principles Trill bear sway
in the government.
Our defeat now, will serve to unite the
Democrats. Those who are true to their po
litical faith will join their strength and la-
bor as one man for our future success. '

"Though the election is passed, we place

'r ' ported demagogue, and for future reference,

,. tg itemocrat.
. ... : We had supposed that after the election
,.. was over, there would bi an end to the mis
v., representations published in the Bogus Dem-
m...ocrat. The above statement of the Demo
.Wf:ra is without the least foundation In truth,
,;, .- and this was known to its editor, before he
t.;-: penned that article. We have never in our
live offered to barter votes. That story was
.(.; one among a thousund other falsehoods cir-
r.j,.tulated ou the day of the election very much
to the injury of Mr. Loomis, and the other
Democratic candidates. It is said to have
;.i been started by O. P. Brown who claimed
B,n: that he received his information through i
, Aletter written by Dr. Applegate of Wind
trij ham. It turns out however that Dr. Apple
4 a gate never wrote any letter to Mr. Browh
r-upon the subject and never circulated any
such report. The thing is a falsehood from
tl- beginning to end. Any person can be sat-
, isfiedupon this point by questioning Dr. Ap-
.k.plcgte in regard to the matter.
Ix .The Editor of the Democrat seems to be
l devoid of every principle of honor and man-
nc; hood. He Is so constituted, that to perform
... a noble or generous action, would be to vio-
, . Jafc the laws of his being. He is constitu-
.ii job guy mean, un lort ties not in argu
ment, or the advocacy of principle, but in
misrepresentation. His highest ambition is
to be a blackguard. With such a man we
' nave no desire for controversy. It would do
our readers no good, and would disgrace our-
selves. We should take pride in contend
'ring with an honorable opponent, but there is
'- neither honor or profit in stooping so low as
to quarrel with a man totally bankrupt in
principle and degraded in practice.
' ' ' ' If there should be at any time an improve
ment in his course as a man or an Editor,
' we will inform; our readers ; until that time,
we hope to be excused from taking any fur
ther notice of Mr. Hall or his paper.
-fit The Election of Mr. Leiter.
t ' B. F. Leiteb, is elected to Congress by s
large majority. We are not surprised at
- this when we take into consideration the
- means resorted to to secure his election.
, Of course we Regret the result, and if we are
not-miitaken Ms own party will regret it in
less than two years. They have placed a
tnan in the responsible station of Representa
tive, who is pledged to carry out no definite
principle of public policy, and who, judging
. ttom his previous course, will labor fir more
( for the promotion of his own selfish pur-
poses than to secure the substantial interests
-of hia constituents.
We hope however, that in this we, may
to happriy disappointed, that Mr. Leiter by

rb worthy of public trust; for it is our de-
sire that the public officers of the county,

Columbiana has gone Fusion by several

we might give the vote, but as yet can get
no reliable returns. .
The Fusion Victory.
Our political opponents are having a good
time of rejoicing among themselves over their
victory. We don't wonder at this. They
have been beaten at every election for the
last six years. That is a pretty long rest
ing spell, and it is perfectly proper that they
should now have a general glorification.
The Democrats can afford to hang up their
fiddles for a while. We are not much ac
customed to the navigation of Salt River, but
the Fusionists who have travelled it so often
that they are perfectly familiar with all the
snags and sand-bars, tell us that there is but
little danger. j
They say we are badly beaten.
Well, what if we arel We had Whigs,
Free Soilers, Sore Headed Democrats,
and Know-Nothings to oppose us! It will
take some time for this pie-bald party
to decide which of its factions shall claim
the victory. In our opinion the Know-Noth
ings are justly entitled to it. It is their
work.
Hon. J. II. l Scott.
We are sorry to see the article in the Dem
ocrat abusive of Hon. J. H. L. Scott.
Nothing but pure malice could have prompt
ed its author to write it. The object is un
doubtedly to injure Mr. Scott's influence at
the present Teachers' Institute. This it
will not do. As a citizen, he stands above
reproach; as a friend of education he is
faithful and devoted. At the last session of
the Legislature, he was an active and effi
cient member of the Committee on Schools
and School Lands, in the House. In this
and every other responsible station ever held
by him, he has shown himself to be compe
tent and faithful.
Brimfield.
The township of Brimfield gave a Demo
cratic majority of seventy-three, at the late
election. This is the only township in the
county where the Democracy maintained
their former strength. Suffield also gave us
a majority, but not quite so large as usual.
This is the result of organization. In Brim
field an organization is kept up the year
round, and the consequence is that the Dem
ocratic phalanx there remains unbroken by
the assaults of Fusion-Know-Nothingism.
Three cheers for the BrimfieldjDemocracy!

cuss their principles, their defeat is certain.

The periodical season for bank explosions
has returned, and is now in successful oper
ation. Whiff principles are flying about in
every direction, and "Fusion" financiers are
fluttering in great commotion. . Here is a
list of a "Fusion failures" for the last twelve
months. Look at the dismal record:
Patchin Bank, Buffalo; Farmers' and
Merchant's Bank, Oswego; Farmers' Bank
of Cannndaigue; Drovers' Bank, Ogdens
burgh; Bank of Carthage; Farmers' and
Merchants' Bank, Maryland; Bank of Mil

Massillon Bank, Ohio; Ohio Savings Insti
tute, Tiffn; Cochituate Bank, Boston; Bank
of West Killingly, Connecticut.
These fourteen Banks failed with over
two millions circulation, which is now
being bought up at an average of less than fif
ty cents on the dollar, making an oggreittb'
loss to the people of OVER ONE MILL-
ION OF DOLLARS! This tax the people
pay for the privilege of a paper currency

Whiggery as it Was and as it Is.
When the. forces of Whiggery were led
by their great captains, Clay and Web
ster, the Democrats had an enemy , worthy
of their steel, men of gallantry to contend
against, whom it was an honor to over
come, and no disgrace to be beaten by them.
Then was carried on a warfare of principle
measure arrayed against measure; lusty
blows were given and received in fair and
open fight. In many a hard-fought battle
and well contested field, the Whigs, under
their gallant leaders, manfully disputed ev
ery foot of ground, and were sometimes
crowned with temporary success. But, de
feated and driven ; from position to position,
they reluctantly abandoned the field to the
victors, without a vestige of those measures
for which they so nobly contended remain
ing. Worn out by age and continued ser
vice, their gallant and honorable leaders are
gathered to the tomb. The great conquer
er, Death, marks them for his own; they
sleep with their fathers; they no longer ap
pear in the stormy arena of political strife.
Their graves are bedewed with the tears of
sincere sorrow, and their virtues are em
balmed in the memory of those against whom
they so lately stood jn hostile array. Brave
men lament the brave, apd do not refuse the
tribute of a tear to the memory of an hono
rable foe.
What a spectacle does Whiggery present
to the world at this time! Bereft of tie
counsel and guidance of their great cham
pions, their principles exposed and derided,
defeated in all their measures, they no long
er dare meet the Democracy in open field;
they no longer attack . Democratic princi
ples, or those great measures which are con
ducting our country with such rapid strides
in the career of glory and prosperity.;, they
are content to meet in secret a band of
midnight conspirators, plotting destruction
to our glornus constitution. Stealing "the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil in,"
they appeal to the religious fears of the
weak and timid, and endeavor to stir ap a
spirit of fanaticism against a portion of our
fellow citizens, and by combination deprive
them of constitutional rights. -
They bow their once proud heads and sub
mit to the.yoke which Abolition chooses to
put on their necks. Every hair-brained en
thusiast and crack-brained fanatic that de
sires to become the leader of a new party
or sect, whether in politics or , Yeligion,
counts with certainly tison the Bympathy
and ; co-operation of WhWenr.i Having
no fixed national Drincioles on which la
stand, the old party of Clay and Webster
maxe terms with every adventurer who pro.
poses to use them. The correctness of
these remarks wan fully illustrated in the
late combinations and coalitions and fusions
which have marked the late career of fac
tious leaders in the Northern States. W

The Know-Somethings.
The Mobile Register learns, from the

"Know-Somethings" has been formed, and
is now at work, in McKinley, Marengo coun

1854, on which day one hundred and fifty
come forward and signed the following.
' ' ' Platform: '
1. The execution of the present natu
ralization laws.
2. None but honest, upright and quali
fied men for office. '
3. A pure free school system.
4. War to the hilt on Know-Nothing-ism..
5. Opposition, first and last, to the for
mation of military companies,' unless we
need them.
6. The advocacy of a healthy, sound and
safe political creed.
: 7. Hostility to all devilish influences, in,
whatever form, and under whatever name.
8. Liberal institutions and liberal senti
ments. . 9. More stringent opposition to secret
political institutions. '
10. The amplest protection to religious
worship of ev.ery kind.
11. The doctrines of our revered Wash-'
ington and the patriotic Lafayette end their 1
compatriots. -' !
13. The formation of societies to dis
pense charity to all suffering humanity.
14. Eternal enmity to all : Who attempt
to corry out the principles of political in
terference in' matters of religion.
15. Our country, bur whole Country, and
nothing but our country, and Cuba and the
Sandwich Islands, if we can get them hon
orably. ' : 1 '"
16. And finally, wholesome1 laws, whole
some legislation, and death to all devilish
influences, whether in high places or low.
; The society holds it's meetings publicly,
once a week. '

so that rumors which have spread consider
able alarm through the country may as well
cease. The main articles of consumption
will be tolerably cheap, notwithstanding
short crops in Ulno and some other parts of
the country. The reciprocity treaty, with
Canada has had a happy effect in thus pre
venting starvation prices.' The produce of
Canada comes to Ohio now as freely as the
produce of Indiana. Dues the Administra
tion which has given us this beneficent poli
cy, at this peculiar juncture of affairs, deserve
no credit tor it! Where is the opposition
paper, save the magnanimous old National
Intelligencer, but what has withheld the meed
oi praise wnicn should loilow the consum
mation of this treaty 1 If it is given grudg
ingly. , ' .
But our object was to call attention to pre
sent prices and future prospects. Nearly
all grades of flour, says the New York Ad
vertiser, uo declining, notwithstanding the
severe drought and the prediction that pri
ces would reach $15 to $20 per barrel du
ring the fall and winter. The receipts from
the South and West are rapidly increasing;
producers having become pretty- well satis-
tied that present high prices cannot be sus
tained for any great length of time, ere push
ing forward their stocks with considerable
vigor. There is no demand for export, and
each succeeding steamer from Europe con
firms the impression, which has now become
pretty general, that not a single barrel of
flour will be Wanted from ' this Country, ei
ther in England or on the continent. The
best grades have, declined in New York,
$1,50 per barrel within a week, and holders
can only make sales by continually submit
ting to lower prices. Exchange.
Mortality among; Immigrants at
Sea.
During the twenty-four hours ending1 at
noon yesterday, five ships arrived in the port,
bringing an oggregate of 2,057 passengers.
One of these vessels, the Isaac Bell with
607 passengers from Havre, lost nineteen
passenger-, on the voyags from cholera.
The Yorktown, 'another ship from London,
with 630 passengers, buried 21 of them at
sea from the same cause. The Yorktown
has been detained at quarantine on this ac
count. , : - '
. . It is a significant fact, that the excessive
mortality at ses, last year, commenced at
about this time. During September. 1853.
28,652 passenger arrived in this port, 280
died at once, and 107 were landed sick. In
August of the same year,'. 34,270 emigrants
arrived at New York, no deaths occurred at
seaj and but 66 were landed sick. For Au
gust, 1854, the ' mortality among emigrants
at sea ha been exceedingly trivial, while
September bids fair; we fear, to rival its fel
low of last year in making the Atlantic a
vast charnel-ouse. If the .epidemic should
hot speedily abate, shippers would do well
to take fewer passengers," as they did last
year, until a more healthy season shall have
set in. Much of the mortality at sea is to
be attributed to the crowded state of the
vessels bringing emigrants. The Congres
sional Committee on Sickness and Mortali
ty on board Emigrant Ships, after a care
ful examination cf facts, states, that of the
312 vessels which arrived in this port from
European ports in the last four months of
1853, the average number of passengers on
board of each was 311,' while cn board of
the 47 which were visited with cholera, the
average was 465. Trib., Wed.

, The Collins took fire on her boiler deck,
and so rapid Was the spread of the flames
that the passengers and crew, .who had
mostly retired, were unable to save any
clothing except a few articles.' She took
fire in the bay about a quarter of a mile be
low Maiden, and nearlv abreast of the light
house. She was immediately headed for
shore, but was unable to reach shallow wa
ter before the flames had complete posses
sion of her. The after part of the boat
swung round into the river, had nearly all
on board were driven to that part of the
boat, and were obliged to jump iuto the riv

Determination or the Czar.
The Emperor Nicholas is evidently de
termined to continue the war until peace can
secured on terms in every way honorable; to
himself. No matter what disasters his em
pire may be subjected to in consequence of a
continuance of hostilities, he will never
yield in the slightest degree to the .demands
of his antagonists, so long as he has a man
in his dominions capable of shouldering
a
musket His fortresses may be taken, his
cities occupied, his fleets destroyed, and hisLleavoring to get at the leak from the inside,
armies defeated; but he will never succumb
Some idea of his determination may be
gathered from the tact that he has issued or
ders that all the principal Russian towns
which may be in danger of falling into the
hands of the enemy shall share the fate of
Moscow. In accordance with these orders,
a proclamation has been issued at Odessa,
that if that city should be attacked and in
peril, it is to be fired in every part, while the
people retreat into the interior. The docu
ment which thus consigns to destruction a
splendid city and port, containing 100,000
inhabitants, : concludes with the following
significant words: "Woe be to those who
remain behind or attempt to extinguish the
fire. ' . .
The Allied Powers will find it impossible
tosucure an enemy possessed of a spirit like
this. . He may be worsted, but he cannot be
conquered.- Detroit Free Press. ; '

yesterday ,.witfi instructions to cruise for six
days to q JcHitoword of the Island.
It is generally expected that Mr. Whits,
of the New York, New Foundiand and Lon
don TelespV Company, "would have de
spatcbed the Company's steamer Victoria,
in search of he Arctic The steamer arri
ved from the westward yesterday. Wa an
derstand the. reply to Mr. Newman's applies
tion for her was that she- could be had for
500 per day She is about 200 tons burthsn.
Ths following statement of the loss of
Mr. Balham; 2d officer, appears In an extra
of Tuesday . 1 Mr B. and the other officers
and crew saved in the 2 'boat);, arrived at
Broad Cove; and reached here on Tuesday:
"On Wednesday.' the $7tb.; noon, Capo
Race bearing north-west 65 miles, while
running in a very thick fog, we were struck
on the starboard bow about' 60 feet aback
the cut-water, by an tron' steamer, which
made three large holes in the ship, two be
low water, one of Which was about 6 feet
in length, and 1 wide, leaving the whole
cut-water and stem of' the iron steamer
through the Arctic's side. So dense was
the fog that the vessel could not be seen a
minute before the collision.. The helm wse
put hard a starboard..-.,. r;
The engine was stopped instatly and back
ed at full speed until clear of the other
steamer, which occupied about two minutes.
The French steamer seemed to be sinking;
bow first. " ' .
Capt. Luce . immediately gave orders to
clear nway the quarter boats, which was done
and Mr: jGourley, chief officer, left the Are- .
ft'c in charge of the starboard boat On low
ering the port boat the Captain exclaimed.
"Hoist up that boat again, Mr. Balham," and
beckoned me to go to him. Upon doing so
he told mo to go over the bow to ascertain if
possible what damage had been done. I
then found the holes above mentioned. Up
oninforming him of the fact, he gave orders
to get sails out to try and get them round
about to endeavor to stop the leak, which
was promptly done, but to no advantage
whatever, as so much of the' bow and iron
broken off the other steamer Was projecting
that the sails could not be brought close to
the vessels side. ' '
The Carpenter was then lowering down
over the vessel's side, and pillows and mat
tresses passed down to him to try if possible,
to force them in, but the leak was found to
be so far below the water line they could
not be got in, and every exertion to stop the.
leak proved unavailing. 'Captain Luce then
ordered the ship's head to be kept ahead,
which bore N W, & W. : By this time we
had lost sight of the chief officer's boat, and
the other steamer, which we supposed: had
sunk. We had not been on our course more
than 4 or 5 minutes ' before she' ran over a
boat and crew belonging to the other vessel,
all of whom perished with the' exception of
one who caught hold of a rope hanging over
the bow. Directly after the boat was seen,
orders were given to stop the engine, which
the Chief Engineer raid would not be done,
as the ship was fast sinking.'' '
In about 30 minutes, all the lower 'fires
were out, arid at least three1 feet of water in
the ship, fore and aft. By this time the C in
fusion amongthe passengers was very great,
but they used all efforts to assist the crew in
keeping the deck pumps going, and in light
ing tne snip torward, lor the purpose ot en-
which Wis fount! to be useless, and numbers
of them going into the boats 'Which were
stilf hanging to the davits..' ': -V
In 45 minutes alter the collision I earns
up from the fore hold and informed the Cap
tain that the water was on level with- the
lower deck, and it was impossible to get at
the leak. I then asked him what he thought
would be the fate of the ship; when he sta
ted his belief to me that there was no hope
of saving her. He then told me to see to
my boats. On going to those on the port
side, I found them completely filled with
men; women and children, and ho possibility
of getting near them..' T immediately went
to the starboard side and ordered two of the
crew to lower the guard boat, and asked the
Captain what were his Intentions. He re
plied that the ship's fate 'should be his.' I
then asked him if he would not allow his son
to go, as I intended to take a boat; but he
returned me the answer that he should shara
his fate. ' t. ,
1 Tt wan Hnon discovered that there was' nn
hope of saving the' Arctic,' and the' lady,
daughter, and son of Mr. E- K. Collins, with
several ladies, were put on board boat.
In the act of lowering which one of the
tackles gave way and all " except one lady,
who cluug to a sailor holding fast to a boat,
were precipitated into the sea and lost." I
then jumped iuto a boat and was ordered by
the Captain to cut away tho tackle fall. and
drop astern. ' . ' ;

with another bgat, which had been lowered
from the other, side, and lightened her of
part of her load, leaving 19 on her and 28
on my own boat. ' "'' !'- '
The last sight we: had of the ship - her
guards were level with the water, and the
surface of the sea was. covered with human
beings, who had fallen or jumped, overboard
to whom it was impossible to render assis
tance, and we soon lost Bight bf all, as the
fog continued to be very dense.; I then ask
ed the boats crew whether they were willing
