AMERICAN NEWS

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING.
The British and North American mail steam-shiP
Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, arrived here at twelve
o'clock last night, in twelve days and a half freue
Boston, bringing the Canadian and United States
mails and fifty passengers.
The news by this arrival extends to the 16th inst.,
and is seven days later news.
The United States, and also Canada, were Bell
engrossed with election movements. In the former
Polk's majority continued to increase, and in Canada
the Conservative majority was also large. In corn'
mercial matters there is but little to remark.
The success of Mr. Polk has given the Whigs great
annoyance, as will be seen from the following outline
of a speech delivered at Boston by Mr. Webster. fie
thus commences imitating the language put into the
mouth of a certain personage by Milton :
." What if the field is lost—all is not lost ! The high
and abiding sense of duty, the indomitable will, the firm
and patriotic purpose, the devotion to liberty, our Con'
stitution, and our native land, all abide by us, as brilliant
as the firmament, and as enduring as these walls ; and
they cannot be taken from us by the power of a succeelw
opponent, by the failure of friends, or by any circuinstallfe
of adversity. Whatever are our prospects the truth is the
same, our country is the same, and we are the same. Jo,*
Webster continued, that if the prospect of that day had"
been the same as that of the preceding, he should
have asked the Committee to excuse him from attending
on this occasion, which would have been one of congre"
tulation and of joy, that he might obtain some repusie
after the exertions of the campaign. But some clouss
having come across the prospect, it was more according
to his feeling to report himself, and take his part in re'
sisting the current of adversity, and t 3 assist in forming
resolutions for the future, and doing whatever duties
firmness and patriotism might yet require. The Whig°
might not succeed at the coming election, but Massacha-
setts did not stand alone ; she had with her three other
States in New England, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode
Island ; she had still with her Maryland and NeW
Jersey, Indiana, Georgiana, Louisiana, Ohio, and others;
our band was not yet broken, and our strength yet re.
mained sufficient. But what if Massachusetts did stand
alone, if she alone remained among the faithful ; if that
were her distinction, let her win it—let her wear it
would be a proud addition to her ancient crown. Thig
was not the proper occasion to investigate all the causes
of our disappointment, of the defection of the two great
States of New York and Pennsylvania. (But one cause
most to be deplored was very evident, and the result (,
those elections had produced upon his mind the impres"
sion that there was a strong necessity for a thorough in.,,e;
dification of the naturalisation laws of the country.) -"Z"„
believed, upon his conscience, that the welfare of LP"
country imperatively demanded this, and that it was the
duty of all parties to attend to it, and that no man to
whom his country was dearer than party, would fail t,e
lend his assistance to such a measure.—(Mr. Webster:
declaration of this opinion was received with the heastieSt
and most meaning cheers. He went on to strengthen la
by an examination of the question of naturalisation, an
his opinion was continually supported by the applause of
the audience.) Ile said that it was not unreasonable 07
request of persons of foreign birth, before the exereki:
of the franchise here, that made them sovereigns, that
they should have resided here long enough to be.
come acquainted with our institutions, and to h.e.
come American in feeling. The rights of per;
sons already naturalised are secured ; but be ss r I
a necessity for extending the time of probation of other
foreigners. Every American exercised a part of
sovereign power. It is a great duty, forming no part of
European citizenship, and therefore not appreciated by
those who come thence. Alterations in the law are re:
quired also to prevent the immense frauds arising frogs
the illegal use of naturalisation papers. He believe°
that if it should turn out that this election had g°ll6
against Henry Clay, it was from the fraudulent votes
of unnaturalised foreigners, and in proof of to
cited many stringent instances ; and he said if tu
were the case, he thought we should g° t()
the source of populas' power and have the error corrected'
He had not intended .o go into the matters at issue in the
s,
present canvass. He must refer to one. In the corn at

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—The result of the Presides
tial election was announced in this city, by the Intia

telegraph, at midnight. The democratic hurrah
nounced it to the President. I learn that, at the 17"
House, the intelligence of the democratic triumphse,
New York was received w ith the most heartfelt Pled
sure. The President looks upon the result as a comPfee
triumph of the principles which he maintained, ali"eo
the measures which he sought to accomplish. •EL;the
campaign, based on the great strength manifested Woe
Whigs at the late election, has already opened. tof
disbanding of the Whig party, and the abandonsae°o
antidiluvians and of antidiluvian policy, is already'
in the annunciation of American Republican journesu'ne
various parts of the country. The Whigs and their:e.
culiar policy, as far as the same was known, are alre.des
lost sight of, and new combinations are on all si
springing up. It belongs to some great and skilful Pend
titian to combine all these elements into a: new,
powerful, and successful party.
