Election Anecdote.—It is known to most of our
readers, that Moore, in his recent contest against
principles and Letcher, in Kentucky, contrived
to obtain about 500 illegal votes for himself—
but, with all that, he is beaten. We have heard
an anecdote relative to the election, which we
think worth repeating.
Nearly three hundred Jackson men of Wash
ington County, anxious to lend a hand to
i Moore, though they did not belong to his dis
| trict, took horse and carriage and rode over to
Mercer county, in Moore and Letcher’s district,
fording a creek, at that time nearly dry. While
they were busy voting, us they could get an op
portunity, for Moore, there came up a heavy
tempest, and the rain fell in torrents. The con
sequence was, that the stream which they had
forded in the morning, was swollen so as to be
come an impassable torrent, and the migrating
voters were compelled to abide in it i i the next
day, when, on reaching their own voting pre
cinct. they found the poll closed, and u Whig
elected by a small majority, which one quarter
of their number would have turned the other
way. This was an unprofitable expedition.
U. S. Gaz.
Enormous Medical Fees —We take the fol
lowing paragraphs fiotn the New Yoik Trans
cript. of Monday last. The statements are al
most incredible.
“ We have heard, within a few days, of seve
ral instances of medical charges so enormous,
that we think they ought to be exposed to the
knowledge uml reprobation of the public. One
of these is that of a practitioner in Brooklyn,
who brought in his bill for about seven months
attendance on a gentleman lately deceased, to
the enormous amount ol three thousand Jire hun
di ed dollars —being at the rate of nearly secen
dnlldrs tier day. The executor, or administra
tor. very justly refused to pay it; and the matter,
we understand, has been left to the decision of
arbitrators. The attendance of the physician,
it is said, was arduous, consisting of three or
four visits in a day. Allowing this to be the
case, five dollars would no doubt have been am
ple pay for each day’s attendance. But the pa
tient was dead, and the doctor seems to have
thought he could not well take too large a slice
out of what was left to Ins heirs. How the ar
bitrators will decide, remains to be seen.
Another case of enormous charging occur
red in this city. It was levied likewise against
the effects of the dead—namely, those of an
excellent and most lamented gentleman from
the interior of the state, who died hereof the
Cholera in 1932. The charge for ten days at
tendance was two hundred dollars. It was dis
puted. and left to arbitrators. Some half do
zen of physicians were appointed to decide It
had better have been left to the plaintiff - for, as
it turned out, a majority of the judges w ere in
the habit of charging still higher than lie. Their
views, however, were various. One’s consci
ence chalked as high as $350; another’s was
content with 100; and the result was a sort of
compromise, which gave the plaintiff hco hun
dred uml ten dollars, instead of the two hun
dred claimed by him!!”
Mtine.—The Election of Governor, Senators,
Representatives, and Members of Congress,
takes place in Maine this day; and from all we
have been able t» gather, in conversations held
with gentlemen from thatstate, of different poli
tical sentiments, we believe the following among
other results will take place: In the first placa,
we have come to the conclusion that the lar
gest vote ever cast in the State will be giv
en on this occasion;—that Mr. Dunlap, the can
didate ofthe administration party, will he elect
ed Governor, by about 1000 or 1500 majority
over both the other candidates;—that there w ill
be many changes in the Senatorial districts and
in the House of Representatives, favorable to the
VY’hig cause, but not enough to alter the com
plexion of the Legislature, a majority of which
will continue to be decided friends of tin* Pre
si lent —that there will be one or more changes
m the Congressional districts, and that Mr.
Churchill, the Whig, condidate, has quite as
good a prospect in Cumberland as Mr. Smith, if
not a better one. Ofcourse there cannot beany
thing like certainty about an affair of this kind;
but we shall not be disappointed to hear of the
election of Mr. Dunlaphy the people—and of
changes in the Legislature and in one or two of
the Congressional districts friendly to the V\ big
party. Nous Perrons. Toniot row weshall hear
from Cumberland, where there have been nu
merous changes since last year, especially in
Portland, Brunswick and Freeport. In the for
mer place, it is believed there have been as ma
ny as six or seven hundred. On the seaboard
the cause of the Whigs has been strengthened,
while in the interior, among the farmers, the ad
ministration has gained friends. This we be
lieve to be a true statement of the case.
Boston Gaz.
, —
Michigan—The neglect of the application of
Michigan to be admitted into the Union, as a
State, «t the last session of Congress, has dissa
tisfied the people there. They seem earnestly
fixed on becoming a State at the earliest day.
For this object, they have taken measuress for
ascertaining how far they are entitled to claim
the oenefit of the ordinance, and set up f *r
themselves. A proclamation has been issued
hy the acting Governor, for an extra session
of the Legislative Council, to be held on the 1st
| of September. The principal purpose is, so their
' papers inform ns, to cause a census of the popu
lation to be taken, and if it exceeds 60,000 to
exercise their right under the U States consti
tution of framing a constitution for themselves,
electin'* Senators and Representatives, and de
manding admission as a right. If refused ad
mission, according to the doctrines maintained
on the Missouri question, they will be a sover
ign State, though notin the Union.
Another purpose for which the session is con
voked is to take measures for extending juris
diction over the Dubuque mines, part of the
country west of the Mississippi, whose irregular
political condition has been frequently noticed.

J. R. PlERPOINT’S SEMINARY
WILL be re-opened on the first day of Sep
tember next. In this Institution will be
taught, besides the usual branches, the Latin, 1
Greek, and French Languages, the Mathema
tics, Natural Philosophy, Drawing, xc.
The Classical Department will be under the
special care of P. J. McLacchlin, a gentleman
of high literary attainments, ol unexceptionable
moral character, and who has had considerable
experience in the instruction of youth.
In this Institution the Explanatory Mode of
Instruction is pursued; which is based upon the
obvious principle, that abstract terms and defi
nitions are less intelligible and pleasing to chil
dren than real objects; and that the instruction
which is given entirely in words, can never be
so interesting and profitable, as that which is
communicated with the aid of visible and tangi
ble tilings. By thus explaining and illustrating
the subjects of study before the students en
ter upon them, they are well undeistood, and
their progress is thereby facilitated and much
| increased.
The Proprietor is decidedly of the opinion
that youth are more easily led than driven in
the paths of science, and that order, in general,
is more effectually secured by a system of mo
ral. than physical discipline
This Institution continues to be well support
ed, is now in a flourishing condition, and ar
rangements have been made for the accommo
dation of an additional number of students.
Tiie Proprietor hopes that no exertions on his
part, or on that of his assistants, will be neglect
ed, that will tend to the moral and intellectual
improvement of his students.
