The New York Commercial Advertiser has re
coived advices from Oregon City. dated April 3
The people were complaining loudly of the delay
of Congress in the erganization of a territorial
govornment. The following extracts arc from the
Npectator of March 23:
Stoxe Coar axp Ougs.—Mr. Moses A. Kellogg
has shown us the * copper tohaceo box” munu
factured from the virgin ore of Oregon without
smelting, referred to in our Inst paper. The me
tal of which the box is composed is exceedingly
fine and speaks significantly of wealth for Ore
gon from its copper ore.
Movtn or the Cowvmmia River —From acci
dents that have happened the United States ves
gels at the mouth of the Columbia River. it is sup
poscd by many abroad to be unsafe and danger
ous of entrance
That this river like many others, has sand bars
in its wide mouth it is true : but that such a river
now does and always will afford a channcl sufhi
ciently broad and deep tor the suie cotranee of the
largest vessels, under charge of a pilot who is ae
quainted with its channcl, is equally trac.
The U. 8 transport Anita, acting Captain 8. C.
Woo lworth arrived in the Columbia River last
Thursday. Major Hardic came up on her for the
purpose of musiering into the U. 8. serviee any
troops that might be ruised in Oregon. for the
purpose of garrisoning Mazatlan and other ports
South. The news of our difficultics had not
reached Calitornia when the Anita sailed.
Commeodore W. B. Siubrick. commanding the
United States naval fovees off Mazatlan had writ
ten to Governor Mason for one thovsund men, to
be scnt down io Mazatian. for the purpose of hold
ing that point and San Jose during the summer—
as vessels cannot with satety oceupy those South

Gov. Mason, knowing that the population of
this territory was pretty large. sent dispatches by
Major Hardie 1o Gov. Aberncthy, with a request
that four or five companies be raised in Orcgon,
and mustered into the U S, serviee as part ol the
1000 pequired, to serve during the war or at least
for ! months Our present difficulties will pre

Ut = from which we make the following ex
tracts:
“On the 10th inst. we left Fort Waters with
about 200 men. and procecded in search of the
enemy as far North as the Toosha river; at which
place we met Sticcas with o portion of Dr. Whit
man s property. that he had indueed the murderers
W give up. Some 30 head of cattle. half that
nuwber of sheep, a dozen horses, 200 worth of
clothing. and 256 in cash, were all he could ob
tain. On the morning of the 13th, Capt. English,
with o number of othvrl. whosc horses were too
much reduced to continue the pursait, were order
ed back to the fort with the property ; and the re
maining 158 men continued the pursuit till 2 P,
M. when we cncamped at a spring in the vieinity
of the river Two Cannon.
There the son of the chief. who was encamped
a short distance from them, come to them, with
the assurances of friendship. At dark they mount
ed and proceeded to within a half a mile of their
camp unperceived. After entering the camp
where the assurances of friendship were renewed
they proceeded to the Snake river, where they sue
cecded 1o securing 500 head of horses and cattle,
and after procceding about a mile they were at
tuckcd i rear by a large party of Indians, whom
they had just spared. and Pelouches, to the num
ber of about 400 We continued, savs Capt. M.,
a very warm marchiong fight till about dark, when
we encumped on a small streamn without tood or
fire. They were shooting all night, and annoyed
our guard so much that we turned out the stock.
At daylight we renewed our march and with it the
ficht, us vigorously as the day preceding, until
within about 2 wiles of the Toosha river, where
the enemy charged at full speed to the river. to get
pusscssion of the brush at the ford, in which ow
iy to the swittness of their Lorses, they partialy
succeceded,
They called off their warriors—more anxious
to leave the ford of the Toosha than they had been
to gain lit. We wmoved on to the fort, at which
place we arrived on the evening of the 16th, worn
down with fatigue and hunger, having eaten
nothing but a small colt for three days. Two days
aiter a council of officers was convened, in which
it was resolved that we had accomplishied all we
coul'l without wore men and wmmunition. and that
it was best for 100 of us to proceed forthwith to
this place. and remove up a suflicicney of ammu
nition aud conler with you on the farther move

From the Pennsyivanian,
THL LATE ELECTION
{ Inone ofthe great hat'lesof Narorvon, a divis
ionof Marshall Davorost, while enveloped in a
Cthick and impenetrable fog, became suddenly and
Cunexpectedly engaged with a hostile Prassiun force
| scveral times their nnmmber. The shock of the ri
| val armies was tremendons, and a fatal eatastrophe
Fwas only prevented by a bold and bridliant coup de
[ mwin on the part of the French leader. Some
thing like this was the position of the Demoecratic
party of this great State i the contest of Tuesday
st We went into that contest with high and ex
[ citmg expectations. We heard not a whisper of
[disatfection=not a murmur of complaint. Lven
iriw Whigs were free to admit that ultimate sue
coss must be ours. Prom every part of the State
fllu mtelligence was heard that was not singnlarly
favorable. Buttis very abundanee of confidence
lins proved to be onr worst enemy. 'When the
Cwist cleared offt we found our apparently indiffer.
[ ent opponents vallying to the polls, under their re
spective banners of Pree Soil, cpro-slavery,” Na.
t veosim, Abolitomsin, and Antimasonry. Still no
[ alarm was felt. T'he behel that we were in the
| majority in the State enconraged onr forees, nnd
[ stimulated their ¢ Toits. W e langhed at the couli.
ton here hetween Vv biggery and the church-burn
ers, and we telt proud that we had done so well
against the npited factions who were bunded rlo
gether to break up our glorions old party. The
irv-'uh of the strugele elsewhere, however, soon
convineed us that our triends were lulled into a
Cdangerons repose by the pretended listlessness of
[ 'the opposition, and this, aided by a few other
L canses. has accomplishied the extraordinary resolts
Cwhich hiave astounded friend and foe, and cansed
| thousands of Democrats to look with alarm npon
the hold and during proceedings of onr desperate
Cantagonists,
W hate excuses, and despise the en-tom of
apologising for defeat. But it is due 1o the De
mocracy of the Union to state briefly the causes
which have operated, apart from the prevailing
apathy which has cut down our vote in some of
our hest Democratic counties, to prodoce the un
looked-for issue of Taesday’s election. Our friends
abroad know that voe detected and denonnce | he
Whig bargam with the Nativists in this quarter,
and the mapority o this ety and conuty proves
how lar this league was successiul at the ballot
boxes. But nobody anticipated the means that
were resorted to by the friends of that systemn of
corporations which has already provedsuch a curse
to the hest interests of the State and of the coun
try. Ve believe, and hope to prove, in a short
tme, that the strong: st intlaence brought to bear
agamst usn the late contest was the infloence of
these corporations, and of nearly the whole of the
leadmy manufuctarers. The organization against
the Democats among the speculutors and charter
omngers was most perfeet
Lvery man that wanted an aet of corporation—
every man that preferred a system of high taxation
—took the boldest gronnd against us. In Sehuyl
kil we hear that the strongest and most desperate
exertions were openly made by this elassol opera
tors, and one indvidaal - direetly approached the
laborers in the conl mines and implored them to
vote for him, because he had been, in his opinion,
riined by the revenne policy of the Democratie
party U Inflaentiol by his former associations with
tie mining merest, he suceeeded, aided by the
promises of Governor Joussrox and his friends,
i mdueig thousands (o believe that Judge Loxa
sereri’s election wounld e a calamity most dis
¢ trous andirreparable, and that it was their duty
to forget thewr devovon to Democracy and to aid
Bim o his work of revenge upon the republican
party. Thisinstance was one of many, and we
now only wonderthat we did not suffer more from
these extraordinary exertions.
The name of Taveon did nothing to produce
the result we all deplore, and we shall prove this
fact by our trinmphant Democratic majority in
November. We can now see our weak points,
and will no lenger be led off by the mere appenrs
ance of party prosperity. Heneeforward, let
cvery Democrat work without cea<ing for Cass
aud Berier. Let us aet upon the example of
Narvorros, when reminded by one of Lis captiins
at Marengo, that the battle was lost. “No” he
roplicd, it not a batte lost; it is a battle won ;"
anc tulhng npon his rejoicing foes he put them ut
terly 1o ront. So letit be withus. We must not
Lie disheartened by recent reverses, hint gathering
courage and confidence frow our prineiples ol
our daty, full npon our opponents, deank as they
are with exultation, and wipe out the fou! stain that
bas been intlicted upon the Demoeraey of Penn

Kisxtoeky axo Wa. O. Boreeg.—"The splen
did sword voted by the legistature in Febraury
st 1o Gen. Botler for “lus during galloutry in
headimg his brave division in the desperate charge
against a battery i the battle of Monterey,” was
delivered to he donee at Caerollton, by ILt Col,
T. L. Crittenden, on the 20th of’ S¢ptember. In
the letier accompanying the sword, Gov. J. J.
Crittenden, Col. C.'s father, says—
“It would have been an additional gratification
to me, ian opportuniiy of delivering it to you in
erson had been atforded we s hut as much time

ever be called again into field, you will be fornd,

Gen Butler tiius closes his appropriate reply 1—

The Volunteers in Novth Carvolina.—Had the vol
unteers from this State returned in time to vote for
Governor, Col. Rekp. the Democratie candidate,
wonld certainly have been elected. The Kills

siaVs:
Capt. Constable, of the Orange and Yaucey
compuany, of North Carolina volunteers, stated in
our presence a few days ago, that out of the whole
Morth Carolina regiment, there are not more than
thirty who will vote for Tavlor and Fillmore.—
Thos gentleman, be itremembered, is a Whig, and
1= warmly attached to the principles of his party ;
but he declares he cannot sapport Taylor.
Lieut. Maxvey, son of the present Whig Gov
ernor, who was with Gen. Tavlor on the Rio
Grande, as the Milledgeville Union says, passed
throngh this Suate lust week, on his return from
Mexico, stated in our presence that he went
to Mexico a full-blooded Whig, but returned a
full-blooded Democrat, and that in the army there
were many more of the same sort.—Pennsylean-
The following is a stand'ng article in the feder
al pupersin Vloridas and the same sentiments are
echoed by all the Taylor organs of the South:—
Let e Sovrn Remevper,
That Lewis Cass is an abolitionist and an encmy
in disguise, and that with siniling looks he would
lure to him the people of the South, that unex
pectedly and the more effectually he may stab them
to their vitals.
Liv e Sovrn Rememper,
That the doctrine which it is called on most firmly
to combat as fatal to s rights and destruetive to its

W hat think you of such support, rendered to a

this fact, before they allow themselves to be car

lessly Whig. In November. a different state of
things will exist and there will be no more chance
for such deception.—Pennsyleanian.
What Mr. Webster suys of the whig party, in
climing affinity with the fiee sollers, that merely
a diference in name divides ihiew, 1. strietly triue ;
and looking back itis the same—a name only to
dictinguish them from the dangerous party jwith
whichi the democrats have always heen contending.
Wihigs are the same, under whatever name they
nay appear ;s and plainly will this be shown in the
present election, when, alter they shall have, by
specions secmn of sincerity, decoyed as many de
mocrats as they can from their dety 1o their party,
the whigs will resume their places under their old
bunuer and be whigs once more. Their past
treachery i like “splits” bears out this assertion.

Post.
Another Hero Converi—At a late meeting in the
Isth Ward, Baltimore Capt. Swaiy came forward,
and said :
“He had all his life long advocated the doctrines
of Whiggery, but had of late become convineed
that an United States Bank was an evil, a high
tari benetitted only the rich, while the distribution
of the proceeds of the public lands amonyz the
Stutes, was a humbug, caleulated 1o force upon
the country a high proteetive tanifl, rinnous o the
poor wanm all its operadons, The opposition of
the Whig party to the war with Meyico, was un
other powerlul reason in favor of Democracy,”"—
He pledged himsell’ “to act with the Democratie
party. and reqaested his nawe to be placed upon
the books of the club.”
Daniel Wedster said at Abington, Oct. 9
“Gentlewmen, itis well known that there is noth
ing in this Butlulo plattorm which, in general, does
no meet the approbatior, and the entire approba
tion of all the whizs of the middle and northern
states. Suappose now thatall of us who are whigs
should go and join the free soil party, what would
be the result 7 Why, =o far, nothing would hap
pen but that the whig imrty would have chanzed
its name. That would be all. Instead of being
the whig {mrl.\. it would be the free soil party.—
We should be all there, exactly upon the sume

Millersburgh company, on fiis retarn from Mexico,

At the call of his country, though a Whig, he
volimteered i defence of its rights. Like hun
dreds ot others from our State, who leftus Whigs,
lie returns a Democrat, and willde battle as hearti-
Iv for Cass, Butler, Weller and Democracy in
Olio, as he battled for his country and her rights
on the wented tields of Mexiweo.
Lalse Pretences.—<Mr. Choate's defence of Gen.
Taylor at Salem was more ingenions andable than
his defence of Burton in the municipal court,.—
They were both accused of obtaining things under
tulse pretences—=Gen. Taylor a nowmauon from

from Boston merchants.—Boston Post.

MORFE OF THE SAME ALGERINY. SORT.
’ The Providence Jonrnal, after a short interval
1o recruit its resounrces, retnrns to the old conrso
of malicious attacks on Thomas W. Dorr, which it
commenced in 1542, followed up during his in
prisonment in 15445, and has continned ever
since, with brief periodical intermissions. In tie
absence of argument, which is not the Jonrnal's
forte, vitaperation is the natural substitnte for
sense and reason. While the cause in which Gov.,
Dorr was engaged, has been affirmed by the opin
ions of the great mass of the People of the [ nion,
and ecannot be sufely assailed, the Journal, more
easily for itself, and more intelligibly to the Alze
rine groundlings, whose ears are tickled by its el
fusions, directs its weapons of falsehood, calumny
and abuse against the man himself.
We are told by this unseropulons partisan oy
Algerine “Law and Order”, that “no convict in
the peoitentiary more richly deserved his son
tence' than Mr. Dorr. “I'he government” “act
ed toward him with uoparalleled clemeney.”
“Under most governments the penalty would hove
been death.” This sentence—imprisonment for
life, at hard labor—“neither the ‘Law and Order
party’ ", “nor sensible men of any party rezorvd.
ed” “as cruel or vindictive”. “Many people”
“thonght that it was impolitic”. Mr. Dorr, we
cwere also informed, was entirely wanting in the
qualities, which would have made him a worhy
copponent of so valiant a party as the Algerines!
| The usaal gquantum of false facts, afler the well
Cknown manner of the Journal, is also thrown in
'to make weight. Mr. Dorr, it is said, was a vol
untary prisoner. This is only trae 1o the exient,
that, when, at the January session of the legisla-
Cture in 1845, an act of release, with a degrading
Leondition annexed, was proflered 1o him, he sporn
ed it as an honorable man could not fuil 1o do.
He might have taken the preseribed oath of alle
giance, and, by thus confessing that he acied con-
Ctrary to law in 1542 and that his sentence was
Just, while he knew and felt nevertheless that he
cwas right, might have then come forth to the world,
Cshorn of bis own self respect, and humbled i the
sight of lis friends and of his countrymen, to pos
sess freedom without true life, or honor. But he
did no such thing. He preferred to wait, in that
house of death, until his enewies should be come
pelled to give way. He waited Gl they did give
way ; tl they removed the dishonest condition of
a previous confession; till he was thrust out.—
The confession which he refused to muke in pris
on, he of course refuses to make out of prisou, as
required by the Algerine act of liberation, and he
remains without the rights of a eitizen. And what
one of those enemies, not base 1o the core, who
does not, whatever he may dure to express, in his
heart commend this resistance to the tyrannical
and infamous inquisition, which was put i oper
ation o extort from Mr. Dorr a denial of tvuth, of
right and of duty ?
The overthrow of the People’s rights, the im
prisonwent of Mr. Dorr, and his treatinent in
prison by those groveling agents of the reigning
despotism, who do not properly deserve the name
of wmen, are foul and damning acts upon the pages
of the poliucal history of this State ; and will there
remain to all ume the inetlaceable proofs of the
depravity, and black-hearted revenge o 1 the vilest
and mostdetested faction that has ever yet reared
its head, in American polities, since the es‘ullish
ment of our republican forms of governmen!,
Recantation and reparation will come 5 the filse,
frandulent and oppressive system of misrule, which
has been so artificially built up, and so watchiully
gnarded by the Rhode Island, Mgerines, must fall,
amid the execrationsof all demoerats and patiiois s
but there standsthe recordofontrageous wrongs to
indicate to oursuccessors the only claim, by which
any of the Algerines of our day, “spaved by
oblivion to contempt”, ean be forced upou their
remembrance. Such is the place in the annals of
the time, which those Algerines, who fear they miay
not be forgotten, occupy in the view of the pulb
lic, and in their own secret selfestimation, goaded
by a sense of the misdeeds of which they are sclf
accused. Retribution seems to be foreshadow ed
upon their guilty consciences. They, seem to be
hold an otficer in the rustling of a bush.
Whenever they hear the name of Mr. Dorr
mentioned to them it seems to conjure up s
gpectres to the mind's eye the deeds of injusiice
which they have done to him. Mv. Dorr is a pri
vate citizen ; has sought and holds no office ; for
some time past has taken no active part in the po
litical field ; and has been deprived by Lis encmies,
through the aid of a political court, of even the
right of suffrage ; and yetit seems requisite 1o hold
him up continually in the principal Algerine press,
to denounce him in every form, and wiih all the
eflorts of'a depraved ingenuity. What is the wmean
ing ot all this? We need not assert what the Al
gerines so manifestly assertfor themselves. They
pay Mr. Dorr the compliment of being alraid of
hiim ; not bocause their Constitution isnot in force
not because the party with which he is connected
gives alarm by its activity ; butbeeause hie remains
true to his principles, to liberty and the Sovercign
ty of the People, and because these principles and
these rights, and those who honestly and tinmly ad
hiere to them, are sure of a final trinmph, even
here, over the ill-favored, dishonest and decaying
faction now in power. "The system which the Al
gerines have set up, like the image of Nebuchad
nezzar, composed of gold and silver, and hrass
and iron, but with feet of clay, is destined for want
of natural support, to a similar downfall and dis
ruption.
Recollecting as weall do, inthe Journal of 1712,
the highest commendation of Mr. Doir, for qiali
ties which made him in the estimation of the Al
gerines, an opponent worthy of their strong efivris,
recollecting what these efforts were, and the ticpi
dation of the Algerine party ; and having seen a
victory over Mr. Dorr,~upon the strength of T'y.
ler's proclamation, and military threats, and upon
the omission of his friends to farnish their pronised
support=claimed in the Journal asan event over
flowing with glory and renown, we need not re
gard the disparagement which the Algerines. and
their hired agents, may now attempt towards Mr
Dorr with any very serious alarm. One thing is
certaing it Mr. Dorr be what the Journal wonld
now have us believe he was in 1842,theu the bouud
less exultation, which his enemies showed in the
conquest of an empty breastwork at Chepachet,
which they had full notice of his having left, half a
day before, proved them to be the most contempti
ble set of poltroons that ever existed.
The adinission of the Journal, that the Law and
Order men deemed Mr. Dorr’s imprisonment
“amroriiie” (though their sense of justice was
too obtuse to be aftected by this outrage ), shows
that they were alive, at least, to their own interest
and safety. Mr. Dorr spurned their base proflers,
and they were obliged to yield, and open the pris
on doors. Fear compelled them to do so ; fear of
the exasperated condition of the publie mind. not
here only, but in other States. For deiving them
to this necessity, they have hated Mr. Dorr ever
since. What greater assurance can he have of
the rectitude of his proceedings and of the good
ness of his cause than to be hated and dreaded by
such men?
The Jonrnal finds an additional reason for at
tacking Mr. Dorr in the present condition of the
Algerine party, which i beginning to exhibit the
symptoms of dissolution. Its leaders and mem
hers are jarring among themselves, and accusing
cach other of their old crimes aud misdemeanors,
| The rank and file begin to be tired of being ruled
'Ly men of large purses andsmallhieads. Itis very
convenient to draw off attention. and tostir up old
cinnities by a reference to afluirs of the past, |
Still farther, the Presidential election brings back
to the Algerine mind muany bitier regrets, occa
sioned, four years ago, by the defeat of Henry |
Clay, who received his greatest politieal wonnd
! from the Rhode Island eanse, which was renewed
[' in the minds of the democracy by the imprison
| ment of Mr. Dorr. The hopes of the whigs fell
I with Clay, who, if spared till November, will sur
Cvive his party. His embrace by the Algerines of |
[ Rhode Island was fatal, How natural for lho-m.‘
l when they remember the wrongs done to Mr. ‘
Dorr, and their other erimes; nay, what they con- |
sider far worse, their “impoliey” in reealling the |
Rhode Island eause to the public mind by his im- |
prisonment,—how naturalis itforthem to curse the '
s man whom they have injured! ;
TAKE CARE OF THE TOWNS!
We would like to impress strongly upon the
minds of our friends the necessity of looking well
to their town organization, and thus preparing
themselves, in season, for the great struggle in
November, ‘Thereis barely tune le tto get rendy
for the approaching battle, and committee and citi
zens should alike make themselves interested in a
proper improvement of ihe few days yet left ns,
Letit be known, immediately, how many voters
“we have i each of the towns, and let distriet come
mittees he appointed to sce that every one of them
i< at the polls early on the day of election. It is
always something gained. to vote carly, and it is
always well to stand by, it there is not other work
to do, till the last voter Lios deposited his ballot.—
Let some means be provided ineach distriet, for
the conveyance to the polls of sach as are infirm,
or whose necessities or husiness will not permit
them to lose the time it would take to go and re
turn foot. Let the lakewarin be aroused and en
couraged to action, Let the doubtinl be reasoned
with and exhorted. And above all, let there be
no waiting one for another, but let every man who
loves the canse, throw Ly for a duy the imple
wents ol his labor, and do what he can for the re
dewption of his State. Our eonrse is the canse
of the country 5 our candidates are tried and faith
ful wmen: gur principles are what they ever were
and ever will be. In short, ours is the only na
tional party 5 the only pariy which stand upon a
single national platorm; tie only party which
dares proclam its principles, North and South.—
Letus stand by, for the sake of the country—
tor the suke ol our glorions Union—for the sake
ol those principles which have been the country's
salvation and the world's glory.
PENNSYLVANIA WILL BE REDEEMED !
We are fully confirmed, by information which
we get from the Keystone State, in the belief that
it will be fully and glorioasly redeemed in Noven
ber, From ten to twenty thousand Van Buren
men—\Whigs and Democrats—who voted for
Jolhin=on for Governor, because he adopted their
ree Soil doetrines while Longsireth would not
do so, and who clain the resalt as their victory—
will vote for Third Party Electors, and ag.inst
General Taylor. This change alone would give
us the State. But other canses will operate in
our favor and hiclp to swell our vote. Our friends
evidently did not show their full strength at the
lute election. In the few counties where they ral
ed in their might they have gained gloriously
over their opponents in other counties, from feel
ing o wuch confidence in their strength, they
permitted the cucmy to steal the march upon
them. Tueir vote fell off, while the Whig vote
was kept full, or increased in ratio with the in
crease of population. We deem it enongh to say
now, for the confidence of our friends here, that
the Demociats of Pennsylvania are awakg—that
they see plainly the canscs which have seenred
their defeat—that they are confident of their ability
to succeed in the next stroggle—and are determin
ed 1o make the effort which is necessary to secure
their trimiplic. . The word has gone ont, and has
already reached the furthest corner of the State,
that the old Keystone of the arch shall be redeem
edo We have faith—=strong, unwavering faith,
thatthe work will be accomplished. While every
other State: where elections have been held have
done better than for years before, Pennsylvania
will notstand by herself' alone inaiding federalism.
She will make the effort {or redemption, and it
will be successtal,
L 2 'The Journal elaims o Whig gain in Geor
gin. The very latest and most reliable returns we
have rdecived, show a Democratic gain, and indi
cate that the State is safe for Cass and Butler,—
Full returns, we think, will show a much larger
majority than we had last year., The fact is, these
Whigs claim everything 1o begin with, and then
give baek what they are obliged 10, which is gen
erally about all they claimed in the onset.
2o We have little doubt that our friends have
carried both Ohio and Pennsylvania. The game
of the Whigs is, to lie us ont of it, till after the 7th
of November. Down 1o that time we advise our
fricuds to place no relicnee whatever in Whig ra
mors, Whig reports, and Whig claims. "The De
mocratic purty stands well, and will assurediy tri
umphoif Democras do but halt' their duty.
VI alaw should be passed by Congress,
permitting slavery 1o existin any of the territories
of the United States, it is undisputed by Whigs
and Democrats, North and South, that Gen. Cass,
it he were in the Presidential chair, would meet
itand defeatit with his vero. Does any intelli
gent person, North or South, believe that Gen.
Taylor would do the same ?
Mg, SUSDERLAND continies his interesting lec
tures, at Mechanies Hall, as will be seen, another
week. When we say that his performances have
been attended by the elite of our city, and that he
combines amusement and instruction for the wil
lion, we merely atliem what every body knows
who has the acquaintance of this extraordinary
man. - He performs surgical operations without
paimn, eures fits and nervous diseases withont med
icine, and breaks up the habit of using snaff and
tobaceo ! What more need be said!? Go and
hear him

THE ELECTIONS.
OHIO IS COMING TO THE RESCUL!
ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE WEST, IN
FALOR OF CASS AND BUTLER.
We are not aware that a single Democratic pa
per in the Union claimed Ohio in the late State
election. It was conceded to the Whigs and
Free Soilers combined, and completely united, by a
majority of from five to filleen thousand. The re
sult astonishes every body . but more especially the
Whigs, who have conceded thatif they did not
get ten thousand majority at least in this eleetion,
they would be defeated in the final stroggle, when
the Van Buren men should leave them. They
now claim a majority of fice hundred only tor Ford,
and are willing to admit that the question, who is
Governor, cannot be positively settled till the of
ficial returns have been received. Our own con
fident belief is, that WrrLer 18 gnecrrn, and all
the reports which are not based on rumor merely,
go to show this as the actnal result. All the
counties but eight are reported to have given him
a majority of 700, and these cight gave a Deno
cratic inajority of =OO in 1344, At any rate, we
have gained largely, immensely, nnexpectedly, on
the popular vote, and have certainly gained rwo
mempers oF Cosaress, The Whigs claim a
small majority in the Legislature.
Democrats will bear one faet in mind—that the
skies grow brighter as the returns come nearer to
the truth. Every day makes our prospect more
glorions. =
PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION
A GLORIOUS I'ICTORY=THE TABLES
TURNED=NWHIGGERY ROUTED.
~ The Whigs always shout before they get ont of
the woods. They have done so in the case of
Pennsylvania, where, it is now generally believed,
they have sustained a defeat, so far as Governor
and Canal Commissioner is concerned. Itis con
ceded on all hands that Painter, the Democratie
candidate for Canal Commissioner, is elected by
about THREE THOUSAND MAJORITY, and
it is asserted by the latest telegraphie despaiches
and genernlly believed by the Whigs themselves,
that LONGSTRETH IS FLECTED OVER
JOHNSON by a majority of a few hundred ! At
all events, it is settled beyond question that John-
son eannot possiblo have more than a bare major
ity, and that THE STATE IS SAFE FOR
CASS AND BUTLER. Many of the Van Du
ven men who voted against Longstreth, did not
vote against our Cunal Commissioner, and on this
acconnt it is but just to claim that the vote of the
latter is a better indication ol onr strength in the
Presidential contest than that of the former.

GEORGIA ALL SAFE.
Thie returns contained in the Georgia papers re
ceived yesterday, says the Richmond 1 nguirer,
satisly us that this gallant State has given o decid
ed Democratic majority on the popular vote, and
may surely be relied on for Cass and Butler, in
November next e
We have takensome pains to collate the returns,
and find that in seventy-eight counties, the demo
cratic gains and losses are as tollows:

Nett democratic gain 1%, over the Governor's
election in 1547, when our majority was 1,280,
There are 15 counties yet to be heard from.
Bavrivorse.—At the mayoralty election in Oc
tober, 1246, Col. Davies, democrat, was eleeted by
a majority ol 62 votes. At the election in Octo
ber, 15142, Mr. Siansbury, democrat, was elected
by a wajority of ¥l6. DeMocrATIC XET GAIN
SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR.
This is the trae and proper comparison, as no
mavor was chosen in 1847, The who!le vote for
mayor in 1346 was 17,701, the largest vote ever
castin the city up to that eleciion. The whole
vote for mayor in 1812 was 19,014, a full, regolar
vote. And the sign is glorious, as the squirming
ot the Joaraal and the Adas shows. Hurra for
Baltimore, for Maryland, and for Cuss and But

GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC RALLY IN
CENTREVILLE.
Onr Warwick friends turned out nobly to their
moeting in Centreville on Monday afternoon last.
The number prosent was quite as large as the
most sanguine had expected to find, and much
larger than was promised by those who were in
strimental in getting up the meeting. The meet
ing was held in the open air, in frout of the hotel
of Mr. Shearman, and the people remained and
gave the best attention to the speakers for about
three hours from the time of opening.
Mr. Parmestenr first addressed the meeting,—
He <poke at length ol the condition and prospects
of the Demoeratic party—aof” its history from the
days of Jeflerson—of'its long devotion to the prin
ciples it now advocates—and finally of its adher
ence to the usages of thelast fifty years in the pre
gentation of its present worthy candidates. Mr.
P. then glanced at the Whig party and its no-pa
ty candidate —and concluded by administering a
deserved rebuke to its managers for their daplici
ty, in setting forward as their representative a man
whose conrse they had condemned, whose ability
they had ridicaled, and whose patriotism was it
sell’ a marked satire upon their own tory pleadings
agaiust their country and in favor of Mexico.
Mr. Wenster, also of this city, was then intro
duced to the andience, and in a speech of an hour
and a half, d'scussed the prominent questions at
issne between the two parties. He devoted es
pecial attention to the subject of the Tariff, and
called repeatedly on the friends of Protection who
meght be present, to deny, il’ they could, the facts
e oflered, or evade, if' the facts wonld let them,
the conclusions which his argnments established.
After devoting a few remarks to the other ques
tions atissue between the Democeracy and their
old, nataral antagonists, Mr. Wepsten turned to
the new issue raised by the pretended friends of
Free Soil; gavea history of the new movement—
examined the elaims of Mr. Van Buren and his
federal allies to Democratie support—exposed the
humbuggery ol the “loose dirt” pretensions, and
concluded by exhorting the young men especially,
who would avoid the fatal quick<unds of federal
ism, to join heart and hand in the efiort for the
trinmph of Democratic principles, by electing the
representatives and standard bearers—the long
tried and faithful defenders of ihe party, to the of
fices for which they had been placed in nomina-
Lion.
Atabout 5 o'clock, the meeting adjourned in
the best possible spirit; and, it is believed, with the
full determination on the part of each Democratpre
sent, to do his whole duty in the coming struggle
for the triumph of our cause in Rhode Island.
MEETING IN CRANSTON.
Our friends in the portion ol Cranston adjoin

Porrenr, Lsq., Coevest Wensren and others.
Our friends out there are wide awake, and will
give a good account of themselves in November.
L@ The Whigs are rather chop-fallen just
now. They have to give up Ohio as sure for
Cuss, and the more candid of these admit that Cuss
stands a very good chance in Pennsylvania. Ol

DEATH OF Bro. WILLIAM SIMONS,
At a meeting of the Grand Lodge 1. O, of O,
F., held at Friendship Hall, Providence, Oct 12th,
1845,
After the organization of the meeting the Grand
Master annonneed the decease of Bro. William
Simons in a brief address,
After which P, G. M. Wood delivered the fol
lowing remarks 1=
Most Worthy Grand Masicr, Officers and Brethren :
I take the present oceasion to sunounce to you
the removal, by death, of our w orthy, aed well be
loved Brother William Sinons,
I need not speak ol those endearing qualities of
s beart, which nnited him so closely with us in
our bond of Brotherhiood. Those who knew him
best, were most acdently attached to him; the
longer the acquaintance, the stronger that attach
went becmne s and the virtnes which engendered
the tes that are now so suddenly sundered, will
long be cherished i our memory,
As a Brother Odd Fellow, he was ardent, zeal
ons, and energetie ; and from his initiation to the
tine ol his decease, he was an unwavering, true,
and steadiast adherent. The prineiples of our
Order were interwoven in his nature, e was
an Odd Fellow almost by instinet, for his whole
soul was devoted to its prosperity. nor were his
exertions nnappreciated by his Brethren,
Friendly Union Lodge of which he was so ef
ficienta member, soon discovered his sterling capa
bilittes, and he suceessively filled the progressive
otlices to the pertect satistaction of all concerned,
during which periods, peace, happiness and pros
perity, were the result of his labor:,
A Brother thas qualificd eould not but be a
most acceptable member w 0 this Grand Lodge,
and our confidence in him was amply testified, he
having been twice olected Grand Representative
of this State to the Grand Lodge of the United
States; and it was a source of extramne regret to
him 1o his last sickness, that he was unabie to at
tend the last Annaal Comuunication. Amongst
his fellow representatives of that body many and
anxious were the inquiries respecting him, and
from all sections of thie Union they appeared deep
ly and sincerely to regret his absence trom our
general council, and sorrowful will they be when
the =ud tidings of his dewmise, shall be conmunica
ted to them.
Not only as a member of onr l“nm-rnity, but as
a member of other associat ons. as a eitizen, and
as i man, will he be long held in grateiul remen
brance. He was heloved by all his acquaintance,
and by all with whow he had inteicourse. Fne.
mics he had none. The State has lost an npright
citizen, our commnunity one of its most worthy
and enierprising members, and we a beloved Bro
ther, Under feelings of the full force of our loss,
onr syinpathies naturally tarn to them to whom
the bercavement is most severe—to those whose
hopes, whose happiness, whose carthly all, were
ecentred in him.
We forbear to multiply words on this topie, be
ing well aware that no earthly condolence can
bind up the broken hearts of the disconsolate
mourners; bt we sincerely pray that the peace
that passeth human understanding, may be abun
dautly showered upon the widow and “the father
ll'in.
.\qu! Worthy Grand Master, with these brief
remarks, I beg leave to otfer the following pre
winble and resolutions:
Wikreas, it has pleased an All-wise Provi
dence to remove from onr midst, by the hand of
death, our worthy and well beloved Brother Wil
linm Simons—ihis Grand Lodge. deeply imbued
with a sense of his strong and devoted attachment
to the principles of onr Institution, of his faithful
and ellicient serviees, and of the bright and stimu
lating example he has left to us, who are yet spar
ed to lihor in the eause he so sincerely loved, do
Resolve, that this Grand Lodge with inexpressi
ble feclings ol sympathy, most sincerely condole
with his family in :flu-ir sad and severe bereave
ment, and humbly trost that He who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb, will pour His consolation
into their lacerated hearts, and reeeive them into
the haven of peace when the storms of life have
subsided.
Resoleed, that the forecoing be entered on the
Journal, and a copy thereol inserted on a diploma
and transmitted to the family of ovr deceased bro
ther, bearing the seal and signatares of the M. W.
Grand Master, and Grand Soerctary of this Grand
Lodge.
Eesoleed, that this Grand Lodge do adopt the
usual badges of monrning, from this date until the
close of the next regular session,
Resolved, that this Grand Lodge do now attend
the funeral of our late brother William Simons,
in full regalia,
Which resoluiions were unanimonsly adopted.
