WING.
WING MAJORITY 2s7,

PENNsYLvANIA.--It seems highly prob.
able that the election of Mr. Porter will be
contested the frauds were so open and so
outrageous, that the wings would hardly
be justified in allowing him to take his seat
before an investigation is had into the
means by which he received majority oil
the votes cast.
The amendments to the Constitution
were carried by the meagre majority Of
one thousand. This will deprive the exc
cutive of the immense patronage which he
has hitherto enjoyed, and, according to the
American Sentinel, Van Buren, paper,
will be the means Of changing tho political
complexion of the State. The following
is tho language of the Sentinel, held pre-.
vous to the election:--
1T is idle to pretend TO conceal the truth
that if the amendments to the Constitution
be carried, the old democratic party will be
broken up. This is fairly conceded BY Mr.
Ingersoll, who is incomparably the ablest
champion of the administration in the Com
monweath And further than this, if the
amendments be carried, and the democratic
party compelled to undergo the process OF
reorganization, as the friends ofthe amend
menls admit will be tho case, it will be
impossible for Mr. Van Brren, at the mex,
Presidential election, to receipe the cote Of
Penn'ylvania. ltrequires neither a pro.

FOR CONGRESS-.
HEMAN ALLEN.
ELECTION ON TUESDAY NEXT.

We publish to-day the proceedings OF
the convention at Cambridge, and also the
letter Of Judge Royce, declining the NOM
;na,ion there made. The late day at which
the Judges determination is made known
leaves little room for consultation with dl:.
fcrcn, parts of the district; but we are re.
ioiced to find the best possible spirit pre-
yailnc, go far as we have information and
the emergency seems to have infused into
whiss generally life and spirit they did
not be fore possess. simultaneously with
the reccip, of Judge Royce's letter, com-
munications were received from our friends
in Franklin County, announcing the fact,
and expressing determination among the
wings in that county to poll the entire vote
for orr well-,ried and trustry friend HEMAN
ALLEN. A public meeting was ,hereupon
called at Towards, and after free consul
tation, il was unanimously resolved to Sec
ond the nomination Of Mr.. Allen, and
invite The united co operation Of the Wings
Throughout the district. The following
circular explains more fully the views en-
terlaincd BY the meeting We according
" place Mr. Aliens name at the head OF our
columns, not doubling that it will be cor
dially responded to; and. if the freen'en
but come TO the polls, HE WILL BE
ELECTED, BEYOND ALL PERAD-
VENTURE.

ARE YOU READY &?

The time for ACTION is at hand-no,o
is. Let every Wing in the district devote
his time from this to the day OF election, to
the service Of his country. lie, not bust
ness interfere with this resolve. OF what
importance is a few days business, COM
pared with the great question whether
busness--agriculIure, commerce and
manufac BE fostered and pro-
tected, or not! This election is OF vastly
more importance than any ordinary bust.
ness, and every wing who stays away from
The polls, or neglects to use his influence,
is traitor TO the common country.
Make business OF politics on Tuesday. II is
but small sacrifice to your country. If Govern.
ment has nothing 10 do with the people. we must
teach our rulers that people have something TO do
with The government. Gen. Murphy, of Ohio, pla.
ced this matter right in n speech of last year, in
alIuson TO the evils we have suffered from i'll gov

CIRCULAR.

At meeting OF The whlgs Of Burlington,
convened on the evening Of The 7th Nov.
Hon. VIM. A. GRlswoLp in the chair.
1t was stated that intelligence had just
been received that Judge Royce had deci-
ned being candidate. and his letter to that
effect published in the Sheldon paper was
read. In this unexpected state Of things
something was to bo done, and no time
being left for consultation with the district,
or even with the neighboring towns, it only
remained 10 fall into such a course as would
probably DO pursued by the other parts Of
the district. At the Cambridge convention
the most perfect union prevailed, all had
confidence in Mr.. ALLEN, and expressed
their willingness to 60 for him, but came
to tho conclusion to supper: Judge ROYCE,
from the belief expressed by our friends in
franklin county that Judge ROYCE would
consent TO stand, and would command more
votes in that county than Mr.. ALLEN
L8tteIS IIOUl UIotlusu'ehSu so"'S"N" ."
that county were read TO the meeting,
announcing the determination to vote for
Mr.. A. In this state Of things we have
concluded unanimously to supper: Mr..
Allen.
In coming 10 this conclusion. we by no
means intend to urge any local claims OH
the district, but quite the reverse. 1t was,
and is now our wish to follow the lead of
the other parts Of the district. This in.
tenion was avowed at Cambridge, not only
by the wings of Chitlenden County,hut by
Mr.. Allen. The delegates who heard the
very able and frank remarks Of Mr.. Allen
on that occasion were iavornbly impressed
with the soundncss Of his views, his desire
10 save the country, and entire d'snterest'
edness. Chit'enden County warmly sup.
ported the nomination Of Judge Royce, and
none more 60 than Mr. Allen, but now that
Judge Royce has refused to be candidate
we are compelled to name substitute, and
we are persuaded we ore following the
views of The district, when we again put in
nomination tho

STRANGE.-A correspondent of the
Rochester Democrat details romantic ad-
venture Of Miss Strange, in the line of
beau catching. Miss S. was a niece of the
member OF Parliament OF that name and
was engaged to marry a Mr. Ducent. The
to be happy pair were to be married at the
uncle's, in Kingston, and and embark inn
medlatey for Scotland. Among the friends
who called the previous evening to sigh
farewell TO Miss Isabella Strange, was a
Mr. Mclean, who, as he pressed the fair
hand OF the bride, said he supposed this
was the last time he should have the plea
sure of saluting Miss Strange" and left
house. The night wore away. and the
time for callng the priest and the bride
approached. On opening the door to the
chamber of the latter, she was found-not
dead No-a husband was too fair
speculation to be lodged in that way. But
she was found-asIeep' No. Drunk
No. Dressed and ready for the ceremony.
No. How then, Missing Miss Isabel
Ia Strange was found missing! Every
bodv Int Ducent thought "'twas Strange
and he swore twas Mclean he saw il
in his eve the night before. And 90 il was.
Miss 8. had Jumped from her window into
The arms of her lover. and fled from her
uncles house as though there was Ducs
inr. No body could hell it-nobody went
after tbem--nobody would be married.
and nobody cared, out Ducent and the
priest. While the latter called her N
Strange girl, the former swore she was like
ALT the rest, stranger than he took her 10 DO.

The history Of several Of the recent cleo

fraud and outrage at the polls. The des'

and unless the Wings are on their guard,
they may be defeated in way they little
dream of. In some of the counties in

exceeds the entire legal vote Of the district,

The following letter from Judge Royce,
explains his motives for declining the nom
nation.
Having received notice Of my nomination BY v
wing convention held at Cambridge on the first
instant, as candidate for representative to Con-
gress from this district, nomination wholly unex.
pected by me, avail myself of the earliest oppor'
'unily to apprse the Freemen, that the situation Of
my domestic concerns would forbid my acceptance
Of The appointment. Those distinguished gentle
men and esteemed friends from whom the nomna
ton proceeded, will therefore lie pleased TO accept
my grateful acknowledgements Tor the honor of theiI
preference. and consider me as entirely excluded
from the list of candidates.

THE STEAMBOATS,.

@The Sentinel is misinformed
as to the steamboats,. They will
continue their trips to St. Johns, as
usual, unless some new feature pre-
sents itself. The boats have thus
far preserved strict neutrality. and
it is to be presumed that neither
party will find it for their interest,
or be disposed, to modest them.
