The latest information we lmve from Miiino is not sufficient to warrant tho conclusion that either of Uie candidates is elected. Some of the Whig papers profess to have returns from the whole State, and clai'n majorities varying from one hundred to one thousand, owing entirely to the heut of their blood or the contents of their "hard cider brandy flasks." At first they cluiined thou sands, and now they have got to hundreds, and when the result is known, we will, in nil proba bility, lie informed that "they are. just were they thought they would lie." We are of opinion that there is a sufficient number of scattering voles to defeat a choice, in which event tho Constitution of that State pro vides, that the House of Representatives shall choose by bnllot two out of the four persons (if so many there be) having tho largest number of votes ; and that of the two thus designated, the Senate shall choose one by ballot, who shall thereupon Ikj declared to 1ms duly elected Governor of the Slate.

Th(1 late convention at Poiighkecpsic is said to have been the largest ever held in the I 'nited States. We tike the following from the N. Y.

The Albanians and Troyans to the number of FOUR THOUSAND, arrived at Poughkeepsie in the afternoon, after thn Convention had organized, in the large steamer Troy and the tow-boat at tached. Ihe John Mason, Legislator, Weatchesler, and Hudson, with boats in tow, came overburdened with the Demo cracy from different places on the river. The farmers from the t nuntry, the intelli- grnl and industrious yeomanry of the land, turned nut in mass. Wagon after wagon, tilled with these hardy tillers of the tinil, attended in thousands to join their fellow-citizens in the aspiration that the Umpire Slate" may be speedily re deemed from the thraldom of the present British Whig and Abolition dynasty. Veteran soldiers and patriots of tho revo lutionary and lalo war men whose silver hairs bespoke for them veneration and respect, joined in the proceedings, anx iously anticipating our political redemp tion. "As the boats passed tip the river they were cheered by the thousands that lined its shores, amid the noise of artillery and tin returning cheers of tho delegates on board. On their arrival at Poughkeepsie, which wu about one o'clock, P, M., m which timo there hid already aasemhH full thirty thousand persons, the various delegates, with their banners and music finned in procession, and marched through the village. It is impossible to (Injustice to the scone that was presented. It surpassed i very thing of the kind with in our recollection. The village was literally crammed. From every window and door wherever an aperture could be found, eager faces were protruded, and warm welcomes were heard." Hut this is not all. In tlie Commer cial Emporium itself, aye in Wall street, a large meeting has been held, called by ;i00 merchants, whose names were signed to the notice. The whole proceeding furnishes new evidence of what wc have some time heard, that some of the mer chants of the City have been purged of the cataract which obscured their vision, and are coming over to the Administra tion. This memorable meeting took MlM Mi 1111..

The meeting was addressed at great length by the lion. Silas Wnioitr in his most powerful manner, who vindicated the Sub-Treasury bill, and "then took up the question of a National Hank, having understood (as he said) that it would form a leading feature in the policy of the Harrison administration, if the General should be elected, and descanted upon the power which it exercised upon the commercial interests of the country."- " The meeting was then addressed by IJrc.viAMiN F.

In the very hotbed of the moneyed aris tocracy and in the neighborhood of the banks, the men w hom (be Hritish Whigs represented as depressed, bankrupt, and ruined by the acts of the administration, convened together to give the "loud lie" to the pitiable slander. The merchants of New-York have spoken out nobly and boldly. Interested as they arc, deeply and entirely in the success of trade and commerce, they have paid that neither are in danger from the hands of the Ad ministration, and are prepared at the forthcoming contest, to resist to the last, every attempt to establish a dynasty, bought by and sold to a Hritish power."

A list of delegates not having yet been made out, it is impossible to. determine the number in attendance ; but wc think wc cannot be wide of the mark in saying that there are, between Fire and Six Hundred. The members are all animated with the right spirit, and what is better than all, they bring with them the most animating accounts of our prospec ts in every quar ter ol the "Old Commonwealth. V rom information, derived from n personal in tercourse with the members, we have no hesitation in saying that we are firmly convinced that Me State is safe for VAX liblihA "by thousands."

CmlU mtn Through tho medium of your pa per I beg leave to direct the attention of the end- grant, w ho is wending his way into the wilds of the far west, to the advantages which the town of Xew.kk now holds forth. This young and promising village, which con tains about one hundred enterprising inhabitants, is situated upon the state road leading from Chi cago to Ottawa, through Napcrvilleaiiil Oswego. Also, upon the county road leading from Juliet to Dixon's Ferry, on JJock river, passing through LUIhmi und Millord. Another road leads from this place through Mission Point und Indian Creek, to Ottawa, a distance of 19 miles. The stale road granted by the Legislature, passes from Kock Island to this place; thence to Juliet, ul which place it intersects the great national road to Toledo, Ohio. Thus wc see, from the position of the place, und from the termination and intersection of so many important roads, that Xkwaiik is destined to lie a tow n of magic growth, and importance. The situation affords one of the most delightful pros pects in the Stale. From the same elevated spot, and with one happy sweep of the eye, Holder- man's (Jrove, Kellog's Crove, Collins' Grove, Big Grove, Long Grove, and Holleuback's Grove can be distinctly seen, making ihe most beautiful and jicrfect rural scenery that can fill the fancy und alleviate the eye from that painful monotory of which the travelers so unusually complain in pas sing through Illinois. Xkwaiik contains cloven dwelling houses, one store, one tavern, one grocery, one shoe shop, one cabinet shop, one blacksmill shop, two tailor shops, and one wagon shop; and ns a necessary ornament to the place, there is one Lawyer, one Justice of the Peace, and one Physician. Milkohii lies two miles north-west of Newark, and is a line town, situated on Fox river, w ith one grist mill, and one saw mill. A little further north, und upon the same beautiful stream, four miles from Newark, arc Mr. Holleuback's mills. Lisbon is 7 miles, Oswego 15, NupervillecSS, and Chicago 56 miles from Newark. Therefore, Newark, must from her situation in the centre of those fine growing towns, gathering from them a variety of advantages, and surrounded with one of the most productive agricultural sections of the Stale, be a place of some importance. And liinllh, which is a matter of the deepest interest with ns all, is here enjoyed by (he citizens lo agveatercx tcnt, and with less iuterrupti'ii from tli.-e.i.-es than any other town in Illinois. Hence, the young mind is witched over with peculiar interest, and cultivated with the greatest care, imbibing in their tender years the principles of virtue, irutlc and knowledge, which never fail to exercise a happy influence through ull the social und politi cal relations in life. Tho emigrant who wells :t happy home, will f.ml in the people of Newark, and in those of the adjacent country, th same generosity of feeling, the same intelligence, und the same sacred regard for morality and religion that he has left in his own native State.

He has, ut considerable expense, erected a commodious building ut tin: east rnd of Canal Street, immediately on the banks of Fox river, in which he has placed all the necessary machinery, entirely of his own construction, for Turning of all descriptions, with horse power. It cannot but be evident to cTery one, that such an establishment, connected with a Cabinet Ware Room, which he has partially in operation, will be a source of convenience, if not of considerable im portance, to the people of this section of country. It is to lie hoped that our citizens, instead of scu lling castor south for their furniture, will first give Mr. Drew a cull, and extend lo him as libral patronage as his perseverenco and industry enti tle him to.

Philadelphia, Sept. 18, 1840. I notice in the U. S. Gazette of this lty a few days since, extracts oflettnr- from Virginia, giving a very unfavorable account of the wheat crop of part of that state, i can Irom actual observation con firm the statement of the writer who communicated those extracts, viz : That the wheat crop along our Atlantic border snort in quantity, and very defective in quality, and the rye crop in the same district of country almost an entire failure. I bring this matter to your notice, in ..r. der that the agriculturists of the western pan ol our state, may through your paper be apprised of the circumstance, and as one of them, I have come to the conclu sion to let my wheat, for the present, re main in stack. With the defective crop arong tne coast, and the uncertainty as to ore.m stuns ocmg wanted tn Europe, I leem this a prudent conclusion. In the winter we can get out our wheat when the straw can be economically used and the chances, in my opinion, are more in lavor ol higher lluui lower rates for bread tuffs. No injury can arise from the pa pers west generally noticing this matter- it will call the attention of farmers to it, ;uul if an advance occurs on wheat before another harvest, it is better that they should have the benefit, in preference lo speculators.
