The Constitution' is not at all ambigu ous on the subject. When no candi date has received a majority of all the electoral vtes, the House is required to efcoose: from the three" who have re ceived f&he 'hisest number of votes. In like manner j the choice of Vice Presi dent is to be made by the Senate, from the two candidates who are highest on the list., ; ,The Constitution further pro tides that, in case ho President is chosen by te House prior to the 4th of March, then the Vice President thus chosen shall become the acting President. ' ' In the present coatest, should the de vices of our opponents for preventing an election by the Electoral Colleges pre TatV there is no doubt that the three candidates constitutionally "eligible by' the House will be Lincoln Breckinridge and Bell. It is manifest that, constitu ted as is the present' House, on which the election would devolve, no election , would be .possible, unless the choice should fall upon Lincoln. Such a strug gle as'would be had in the House would be.really the most unfortunate and dan iwrfius ttiincr in;ii couia uaiiDeo iu lue country. Conservative men everywhere must deplore, and should earnestly en deavor to avoid such a result. There is, it must be conceded, scarcely a- posst- J. - ' - M .m . W TT .bihty oi any election by tne nouse. '..It is to be remembered that if there is no election of President by the Elec tors, there will be none of Vice Presi dent. In that ease, the Senate will be required to choose a Vice President, as we have stated, from the two candidates who receive the greatest number of elec toral votes. : These will be Hamlin and Lane, (or possibly Everett.) , There is a decided Democratic majority in the Senate, of the Breckinridge and Lane stamp.' The election of Lane by that tody would thus be easy,' if his name goes up along with Hamlin's. ; In that case on a failure of the House to elect a President by ' the 4th of March Joe Lane becomes President. In bur judg ment, -the whole Presidential question narrows itself down : to the choice of Lincoln by the electoral Colleges, or of Lane by the Senate..' . ' . . Let .us suppose, however, that ;the - name of Mr., Everett, instead of that ; of. Gen.1 Lane,' comes; before the Senate. now can he get elected? A decided majority of the Senate is opposed to him, not a tingle Senator being primarily in hit favor, and tlure being only two Douglas Senators to carry out the Bell Douglas coalition by voting for himJ ; ,It only requires a resort to the neces sary tactics on the part of the Democrats to stave off an election until the new Senate comes in onthe 4th of. March. They will then cboose a President of the Seriate pro tempore, who would become, by virtue of his office, President of the United States! That man would proba bly be John G. Breckinridge. It will thus be seen that no party has anything to gain, tn any event, by throw ing the election into the House, sive only the Breckinridge and Lane party. The more thoroughly the subject is ex amined, the' plainer this truth will ap pear. Lincoln might be elected in the House; yet his friends too clearly fore see the inevitable consequences of such a struggle in Congress at this time, to be witling thus to disturb the peace of the country, and' still further, to produce alienation and discord, even were his election there a certainty. On the other hand, "neither the Douglas nor the Bell Everett party has, under any circum stances, whether acting apart or together, ihe slightest chance of any profit from defeating an election by the most direct popular method provided by the Consti tution. As the canvass advances, these truths will. become more and more evident- and will lead Union-loving men, opposed to the Breckinridge party, to look with favor upon the election of ! Lincoln and Hamlin, as the only means of defeating Disunionism Cin. Gaz. Injury eTone to Sbeep by Dogs fn Onto.

Journal. Pennsylvania Election. Pennsylvania has been considered the ba'ttle-ground of. the Union, by.all par ties..-; It has been claimed by the various factions opposed to the Republicans, that without Pennsylvania, Lincoln could hardly be elected by the people;, and hence the interest felt by the whole country in the result of the election in that State on Tuesday last. The bitter est opponents of Lincoln admitted that if the,Republicans could carry the State in October, it settled the election of Lin coln in November, beyond all contin gency. All the opposing factions Douglas; Breckinridge and Bell united on Governor and the S6ite ticket, with the determination to carry the State, at whatever expense of money and misrep resentation. New York 'having been abandoned as hopeless, all the force of that State, as well as of the other States was thrown into Pennsylvania to turn the scale. - ' - Under these circumstance, and re membering that - four years ago Bu chanan had more than eighty thousand ntajority over Fremont, the Republicans of other States had but little hopes of a frvorable result. , True, they confidently expected to carry the State for Lincoln, when the Breckinridge, Bell, and Doug las parties would be divided, or at least not so cordially united as they were on Governor. - But the news comes in with a bugle note of triumph as unexpected to the Republicans, as it is crushing to the hopes of the factions opposed, to them. .The very latest dispatch as we go to press, gives the Republicans thirty TWO THOUSAND MAJORITY over the COM bincd-foie of all other parties! ' " "The uprising of , the people is.' com plete, aud Lincoln will sweep the State by one hundred thousand majority over either of; his competitors! The Presi dential" question is settled. Linceln will be the . next President. : The Dis- unionists may just us well : proceed at once as to wait for the official vote.- Will they place themseves in a position to -be hung as traitors? js the question the American people are now wanting to have answered. -. ih; ; .. ..:.'( Indiana1 Election. : .In Indiana, like Pennsylvania, . all parties and factions were united against the Republicans. It was claimed by the Douglas party as their surest State, and admitted by the Republicans to be doubtful. But the indications are that the Republicans have swept it, like Pennsylvania and Ohio, with, a majority which is alike astonishing to themselves as to their opponents,' The latest dis patch says the Republicans have carried 8 out of the 11 members of Congress, and theirState ticket by from 10.000 to 15,000 This insures the State to Lincoln by 50,000 over Douglas. There i3 no Ion ger a doubt as to the result of the Pres idential election.- Lincoln will undoubt edly cany seveuteen States, including all the great, populous and powerful Free States, leaving the fifteen Slave States, and per haps California, to be di vided between Breckinridge, Bell, and Douglas. It is doubtful, however, whether Douglas can carry a single State in the Union. TJie Times Don't See How Voting for ' Douglas -will Elect Bell. If the Bell men assist the Democrats to carry Pennsylvania or Indiana, then Lincoln will be defeated, and .Bell will have a good chance of an election. The Bell men expect, their candidates to be chosen in Congress, and their 'aim is to take Northern States enough from Lin coln to carry it there. It is unimpor tant to them who gets the States named, if it is not Lincoln. The Times evi dently wants Lincoln elected by the peo ple, and is opposed to giving Bell a chance in the House. "Were it not so.it would not oppose the very method in which Mr. Bell can begot to the House. Enquirer. The Times is free to express the opin ion that it desires the election of a Pres ident by the people. We can conceive of no greater calamity, in . the natural order of events' to the country at pres ent, than that the election of President should be thrown into a House, that wrangled for weeks, over the election of a speaker, in the meanwhile disgracing itself and shaming the whole nation. We confess, we cannot see how Bell will have a chance in the Blouse of Representa tives, nor have we th perspicuity, ichich enables vs, like the Enquirer, to discern, how the Conservative Union men can ad vance their own organization by voting the Democratic ticket: Something more solid than the sophistry of the Enquirer, is required to clear our vision of that point. Cincinnati Times. Well, if you have the perspicuity to see how you are going to elect Bell by voting for his eh ctoral ticket in Ohio, you will please mention it. Cummercial. A Great Country. The Rev. Bishop Pierce, of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, give3 the following picture of the States of Texas: Texas is a curious country a para dox. Everything is in the superlative, or contradictory or marvellous. - It is the richest and the poorest has the best lands, the meanest water; is the hardest country to live in, and has the most to live on; the days are hottest, and the nights the coolest; here are the most rivers, and the least waters; the best roads, and the slowest travel; the finest building material, and the least use made of it; there are more clouds, and less rain; more plains, and less timber; more ropes to tie horses, and yet more astray; a poor country for farming, and yet the most productive; the least work, and the largest yield; the horses are small and the cattle big; the frogs have horns, and the rabbits have ears like mules; the people are intelligent without general education inventive without being tricky refined without mannerism rich without money hospitable with out houses bold, generous and brave. In fine, here is an empire in extent and re sources, but in the slowest process of ev olution, and yet destined to population, wealth and power. There is much to admire, but little to deplore, many things to enchant, but few to offend; and for the people and their' institutions there is a splendid future.

Not All for Sale. At a Republican meeting in new York recently, Mr. S. B. Chittenden, who is, according to the Tribune, "widely known as the leadng man in the branch of trade with which he is connected," made a peech in favor of Lincoln. The Tri bune says: 'His speech was a plain, straiirht-for- ward, practical discourse, and one that cannot fail to make a deep impression upon his brother merchants. It is well for the reputation of that large and in fluential class among us, that while some f their number get up mass meetings to advertise their merchandise, others forget their merchandise, and seek pub lic meetings to avow their principles, and lend their influence to the cause of free dom and good government." Mr. Chittenden, it is evident does not sell his principles to the Sotherners who buy his dry goods. H. V. John.on mil Northern Mechanic. "In the speech of Mr. Johnson, the Douglas candidate for Vice President, at, Pittsburgh, on the evening of Satur day, the 22d of September, he used the following language in reference to the laboring men of the North: .. Speaking of slavery he said: "Look at the slaves in your own work shops! They are driven to the polls at the beck of their masters, under - - penalty" of 'being dis charged." The crowd demurred to this by loud cries of '-Not so!" "No Sir!" "No, No!" and in the midst of confusion he was asked, "What about capital owning la bor?" He answered: "I do not believe one white man SLOULD OWN ANOTHER, AS YOUR MAN UFACTURERS DO YOU!" This is the out-cropping of the same spirit that breathed in the "mudsill" speech of Senator Hammond. Its ef fect was to dampen the ardor of the audi tory. Some of them openly declared their intention to leave a party, one of whose candidates uttered such senti ments, and several Democrats, it is stated, immediately repaired to the Re publican ' head-quarters and enrolled their names as members of the club. ilOX. THOS. EWIXG FOR I.1SC OLS. Hon. Thos. Ewing, the "Old Salt Boiler," made a speech at Chillicothe last week, from which we extract, the following: "And it may be proper for me te say, in the outset, that I have made up my mind to vote for Abraham Lincoln. I know him personally, and am satisfied with him., , He "is a man of impeached integrity sufficiently acquainted with the recent history of our country, and the men and measures which have made up that history. I am satisfied with the man, though I do not place him in advance of all his opponents. John Bell is his equal in personal qualities, of larger experience, the elder statesman, and, if we could make him our President I would consider him a very safe choice. I know him much more intimately than Mr. Lincoln. I was in counsel with him daily for months in times of trial; and besides my confidence in the states man, I have for him a warm feeling of personal , friendship and regard. But he cannot get the vote of Ohio. His ticket is but a disturbing element in the canvass. The contest in this -fitate is between Lincoln and Douglas, and be tween them I cannot hesitate for a mo ment, and, indeed, I have no vote to throw away when such is the contest. As a statesman, Douglas has shown himself inconsiderate and reckless. The extreme agitation of the country for the past six years is duo to his rest less impatience for" notoriety. He is politically answerable for all the terrible atrocities consequent upon the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. They were embodied in the repeal, and the eye of a statesman could not have failed to discern them there. He set a com plicated machine, which he understood not, in wild and destructive motion, and his sole merit is, that lie attempted, but knew not how to check or direct its movement. Experience of the past does rot warrant us in believing that the Republic would be safe under his guidance. It would be once again Pha eton guiding the chariot of the sun." "I have little doubt of the election of Mr. Lincoln. He is an old Whig. He has had his political training in a highly conservative party, of which he was a calm,considerateand reasoning member. And though he has passed through a fierce conflict, in which the aggression of slavery was the subject of attack and defense, I doubt not the feeling which that conflict excited has passed away, and that from first to last in his inaug ural address and in his final message he will show himself the President of the nation, not of a section or a party. Fortunately, he will not be thrown upon an extreme party for support. The con servative interest nominated, and that also will elect him. "Mr. Bell, if I mistake not, will have but small support in the North-western States; not because he is less worthy than Mr. Lincoln, but because he enters the canvass with no prospects of success be fore the people; and it is the part of wis dom to attempt the good that is practic able not that which is impossible. In deed it were wise for the especial friends of Mr. Bell to support Mr. Lincoln here, and show him that the conservative ic terest on which he may rely is strong But especially a contest against him is unwise on their part. It the election go to the House, the chance of Mr. Bel for success there were greatly improved, by the fact that he has mends and well wishes among the supporters ot Mr. Lan coin." ' LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. St. Joseph, Oct. 8. The Pony Ex press, with California dates to the 24th ult.. arrived here last mgnt. San Francisco, Sept. 24. A fire at Pacheco Contra, Costa county,, on the 24th, destroyed nearly $20,000 worth of property. Ihese is no new feature in the politi cal canvass. The State Agricultural Fair at Sacra mento has proved a great success. Over a thousand head of blooded stock were placed in competition for premiums. Ihe mining accounts troui Larson Valley, as well as from the New Cozo silver mines, near Owen s Lake, are en couraging. . The latest accounts from Oregon state that the Legislature continued adjourn ing from day to day, without a quorum. A report was circulated of a contem plated compromise between the Douglas and Breckinridge Democrats, giving each party one Senator on condition that tbe seceding Breckinridge Senators would return and give the Senate a legal or ganization. The lower House passed a resolution, on the 20th ult., inviting the Senate, in its disorganized condition, to meet in joint Convention the next day, and pro ceed at once to the election of Senators. The Douglas and Breckinridge parties in Oregon had each held Conventions and nominated Electoral tickets. The Breckinridge ticket is as follows: Delazpn Smith, James O'Meara and L. W. Doughitt. Douglas Ticket Wm. H. Farra, Benjamin Harding and Wm. Hoffman. The mining news from Oregon and British Columbia is encouraging. The census returns give Washington Territory 9,000 population. ;Advice3 from Chica state that the Chinese would make great resistance to the French and English, and desperate fighting was expected. Russian war steamers had been very active, moving about with large bodies of troops on board. BThere was a triangular political discussion at Norfolk, Va., last week, in which the Electors on the Bell, Breck inridge and Douglas tickets participated. Mr. Lamb, ("Breckinridge.) in the course of his speech, charged Mr. Chandler (Bell,) with having been a Massachusetts Freesoiler in 1848. Then followed a scene. We copy from the Norfolk Her ald: Mr. Chandler, rising from his seat and approaching Mr. Lamb, said: Mr. Lamb, do I understand you as charging me with having been a Freesoiler in Massa chusetts in 1848, and advocating the sen timents of that party? . .Mr. Lamb Yes, sir. Mr. Chandler It's a d d lie. Mr. Lamb Do you mean to say that I am a d d liar? -Mr! Chandler Do you apply these charges to me? Mr. Lamb Yes, sir, I do. Mr. Chandler Then, sir, you are a d d, infernal liar. Here the parties came into collision. Accounts differ somewhat as to who struck first: The blows seemed to those nearest the spot to have been almost sim ultaneous. The friends of both these gentlemen rushed to the stand, and a scene of ex citement ensued which beggars all de scription. Men who bad lived for years in friendly intercourse looked daggers at one another, and a fierce party con flict was every 'moment dreaded. One imprudent act a blow even the ex hibition of a deadly weapon might have lit up a flame of discord that could only have been quenched with blood, and caused the sacrifice of many lives. Happily nothing of this sort occurred, and a few minutes sufficed to restore comparative order. dtommimirafed. For the Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph. Mr. Editor: - . I send you a short statement of the doctrine and method , of "Land Reform." Can you make it consistent to give it a place in your paper? I am lecturing throgh the country on the measure, and have been advocating it by pen and speech for fifteen years. It takes like good news among the people generally. .'I expect to be in Pomeroy soon, and spend a week lecturing on this subject in the various portions of your town. Yours, &c. L. A. IIlNE. LAND RUFORftI NO MORE LAND MO - - NOPOtT. Land Reform is based on the doctrine that every human being has a natural right to some place in which to be and exist a natural right to share in what God made for all for one as well as other and for each one so much thereof as he can use with his industry. That the soil was designed for the use of man, there can be no doubt ; therefore, those who will use it ought to have it, while those who will not use it should not be permitted to get it. No man can be truly free without some portion of the earth on which to exercise his freedom without interference from others. Every family should have its own home free from the exactions of the landlord. No one should ever have been permitted to obtain land and build houses to rent; for no one has a moral, natural or divine right to more of the earth than he and his family cr.n personally use ; and had this just method prevailed there would not.be a homeless family in Ohio to-day Every young man would be compelled, under such a system, to get his own home before marriage, because there would be no monopolies to rent him cither a farm or a house and lot. But, how different is the prevailing svstcml One-half of all the families of Ohio are now homeless and poor, and generally afflicted with the privation, anxiety, ignorance, humiliation and vice that are so destructive to happiness. On the other hand, there is a class of rich monopolists who are luxurious, fee ble, and still more corrupt, inconse quence of having wealth enough to bring up their children in idleness and genteel dissipation. Then, we have a middle class that is corrupted by the miserable influences of the aristocracy, and by the vulgar vices of the poor. The Land Monopoly system is, there fore, not only the grossest outrage ever perpetrated against humanity by robbing half the people of our own country of their natural right to the soil, but also a most serious injury to all classes. On the contrary, the Land Reform system would be a benefit to every human being, and no damage to any human interest. It would secure homes to all, ' good schools; for all, and moderate labor would bring a full supply of all the physical and mental needs of man. The right to the soil being a natural right, it is the duty of our government to guaranty the privilege of its enjoy ment to every one of its citizens. Has not government designed to protect the people in their rights? Should not this be its principal object? But our present land system protects the selfish in man ufacturing the bounties of Heaven to the children of men, and thus plunders one half of its citizens of this fundamental w an 1 .1 right. The system was iorcea npon tne world by war, murder and usurpation, and has been transmitted to us from the past. Hut how can a change be cftec-teu.' 1. Call public attention to it expose the stupendous robbery fraught with poverty, ignorance, vice, crime and slavery. 2. Let Congress stop giving public lands to corporations, or selling them to non-residents, and hold them for the free occupation of landless settlers. 3. Let the Ohio Legislature fix a limit (say one hundred acres) beyond which no one shall have protection in acquiring land in this State. This would stop all further land monopoly in Ohio, and af ter the death of the monopolists, there would be an end to this curse, and while every family would occupy its own home, the population would soon be so dense that every child would be within walk ing distance of a college. Then would be inaugurated the era of universal work, universal wisdom, and universal happi- nAQQ g-tcuj Julucrttsements. I, O. S. HL ' - . . " .

MMOTT'S Chalybeate Restorative , FILLS OF IRON. An aperient and Stomachic preparation of IR05 puriDed of Oxygen and - Carbon by combustion in Hydrogen. Sanctioned by the highest Medical Au thorities, both in Europe and the United Slates, and prescribed in their practice. The experience of thousands daily proves that no preparation of Iron can be compared wtth it. Im purities of the blood, depression nf vital energy, pale and otherwise sickly complexions indicate i'j necessity in almost everv conceivable case. Innoxious iu all maladies in which it has been tried, it has proved absolutely curative' in each of the following complaints, viz: In Debility, Nervous Afiections, Emaciation, Dys pepsia, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Dysentery. Incipient Consumption, Scrofulous Tuberculosis, Salt Hhenm, Mismenstruation, Whites, Chlorosis. Liver Com. pl.iinta. Chronic Headaches, Rheumatism, Inter mittent Fevers, Pimples on the Face, vc. In cases of GuNKRtk Debilitt. whether the result of acute riiMmsu- or of the continued diminution -of nervous and muscular energy from chronic coin-4- pl.iiul, one trial oi tins restorative has proven suc cessful to an extent which no description nor written utte station would r nder credible. Invalids so long bed ridden as to have become forgotten in their own . neighborhoods, have suddenly re-appeared in the busy world as if just returned from protracted travel in a distant land. Some very signal instances of this kind are attested of female .Sufferers, emaciated victims of apparent marasmus, sanguineous exhaus tion, critical changes, and that complication of nerv ous and dyspeptic aversion to air aud exercise for which the physician bus no name. In Nervous Affections of all kiiids. and for reasons familiar to medical men, the operation ot this pre-: pa ration of iron must necessarily be salutary, fur. unlike the old oxides, it is vigorously tonic, without being vxcitiug aud overheating; ami gently, regu larly nperieni, even iu the most ohstiiiatu cases of costiveuoss without ever being a gnstric purgative, or indicting a dis;igreuable sensation. It ts this latter property, among others, which makes it so remarkably, effectual mid permanent a remedy lor files, upon which it also appears to exert u distinct and sp-ji iiic action, by dispersing ttie local teiiileucy which forms llieiii. ... In Dys epsia, innumerable .is i.re Its causes, a single box of these Chalybeate Pills has often sutiiced for til- most h tbitual cases, including till) a'. tendent Costiveness. Iu unchecked Diarrhoea, even when advanced to Dysentery, continued, cuiuuciating, and npparently malignanl, the elleets have been equally decisitu slid aMouishing. In Ihe local pains, loss of fle.h and strength, de bilitating cough, ami remittent hectic, which generally indicate Incipient Consumption, tiiis remedy has allayed the alarm of triunds and phjsi t i:ii, in several very gratifying aud interesting in stances. in Scrofulous Tuberculosis, this medicated iron has had far more than the good i.irei I of the most cautiously balance.! preparations of iodine, without ary of their well known liabilities. , The attention of females cannot be too confidently invited to this remedy and restorative, in the cases peculiarly uifediug ttiem. - 1 11 Rheumatism, both chronic and inflammatory -in the latter, however, more decidedly it has tieen invariably well reported, both is siieviating pain and reducing the swellings aud stilTness of the. joiuts and muscles. In Intermittent Fevers it must necessarily bo a great remedy and energetic restorative, and its pro gress ill the new settlement of the Aest, will prob ably be one of high renown and usefulness. No remedy has over been discovered in the whole history of. medicine, which exerts such prompt. ha upy, aud fully reslaratlva effects. Good appetite c Miiplete digestion, rapid acquisition of strength, with an unusual disposition for active aud cheerful exercise, immediately foliow its use.

It separates itself from, and' should not be classed with the innumerable patant medicines of tbe present day, for the reason that there is no effort made to conceal its Ingredients. On the contrary, the un dersigned invites the strictest scrutiny from tbe Medical profession, and will, on application being made to him, take pleasure in communicating to all regular practising physicians, every particular in regard to the processor manufacturing it, ozc. He would sin. ply state, that asaa Apothecary, he bas been for years in the habit of preparing, under tbe direction of gentlemen of eminence in tne medical profession, both in Kentucky and Tennessee, the above compound. Familiar with tbe belt methods of displacement, and the advantages nf a large and powerful apparatus, he has sought to combine to gether the tried and known virtues of various arti. cles of the Materia Medica, in such proportion, and ii buui tiw-np nnu uuruoie lorm, as to lurnisn a rem edy of certain and wonderful efficacy, attested by long experience, not for every disease that flesh is hair to, but for a large class, a numerous progeny that owe their origin and parentage to a strumous Diathesis or Scrofulous taint in the Constitution and in the blood, such as White Swelling.
