From the Philadelphia United States GaSette.
MISTAKE CORRECTED

We take the occasion to correct an error intn
which the editors of the New York Evening Post
have fallen, in ascrbng the results of the late cleo
ton IN this city, to the prevalence of Jacksonisn
Nothing could be father from the facts. The truth
is, the friends of General Jackson knew that any
ticket proposed upon grounds of attachment to him,
would be defeated, and from the primary meetings
OF the managers until the close of the election
nothing was said about Jacksonsm--so far from
1t, that some of the candidates elected are and
have long been, openly and decidedly Clay men,
and others not less openly hostile General Jack
son, though not avowedly for Mr.. Clay One
candidate, indeed, on the morning of the election,
openly expressed his opposition TO Gen. Jackson,
upon the grounds of the Presidents. having viola
ted his pledges; and one of the >feading Jackson
papers, on the same morning, declared that the
ticket (Which succcedcd) was forn-Sd without any
reference to presidential preferences.
Our friends of the Evening Post, who are not
more the tri' nds of Jackson than of truth, will per-
celve the error in which they have fallen.
No man who lives in Philadelphia can doubt that
vote could be taken in the city for and against
the reelection of Andrew Jackson, involving no
other consideration, that the latter would prevail
by large majority. We think two to one.

THE KINGS SECRET.-Our novels are be-
coming almost as short as was tragedies of old
and nearly all Dialogue and descriptions of see
merry, dress and manners. Since the Waverlv
novels, every writer of romance who wishes to be
read, must seize upon some prominent incident and
known characters of history, and weave on This
groundwork his tissue of fiction. The author oftho
Secret is not an exception. lie has availcd him

The harvest in England, of which the market
has so great influence upon the price of grain both
in Europe and this country, is represented in the
late papers abundant and well got IN. This cir
cumstancc, together with the probability of any
Immediate war on the continent being now much
lessened, will leave the demand for CUR surplus
grain only, such as exists in ordinary times.
OF the wheat crop ip this State we learn from
one who has recently made pretty ex tensivc tour
through the Western wheat growing counties, that
though of good quality generally, it will fall short
full onefourth in quantity of the last crop. Hence
even though the foreign demand should not he ex=
