lLLISoIs.-Notwithstanding the often
repeated assertion Of the Locos, that
Douglass was elected over Stuart, mem
Der ofCongrcss from one ofthe Districts
in Illinois, it turns out that Stuart is
elected after all. The result as offici-
ally canvassed, is 10 ,942 for Douglass,
and l8,947 for Stuart, making majori-
,y OF fire rotes only for the latter, in a
district where the number Of votes is
perhaps greater than in any district in
the Union, where but a single Ropre-
sentative is chosen.
Tho Legislature Of Illinois is also

The following beautiful passage is from all
Grafton recently delivered by Judge Reid, Of
Florida:
"In republic such rs ours, then, human
happiness may be promoted by the wisdom,
justice, frInness and moderation of those who
are the chosen servants Of the people; by
free suffrage and the absence Of property
qualifications for office by an independent
judiciary by laws which shall project ef-
fcctuolly life, liberty and property by oppos.
ing and preventing the ANA gamation Of the
money power with the political power; by
opposition to monopolies by great caution
IN the grant Of charters, and by so restrain
ing them, when granted, as 10 make them
subject, useful and profitable to the people
by lcgislating as little as possible in favor OF
individual interests let individual interest
be left to themselves, under the protecting
safeguard Of equal laws; by abolishing the
idolatry of mon, and substituting for il de-
yotion 10 principle by n strict construction
OF constitutional powers; by the diffusion Of
knowledge; by inspiring every generation,
as it presses forward upon tho stage OF life,
with an adherence Of the craft and agonies
Of stratagem, Of selfish ambition, and with
pure love for liberty and the people and es.
pecially, most especially, by cultivating the
female intellect.
"On you, fair daughters Of my country,
will mainly depend the character and for.
tunes Of the new Stdtc. Your smiles and
your beauties aro the roses that border aud
bloom along the path Of human life. They
cheer aud comfort the soldier in the battle
6eld-thc sailor.on tho bounding bilow-the
sage in the deep recesses Of the closet
When you approve, virtue becomes more
bright, serene and beautiful; when you dis
approve, vice assumes q darker and more
b'deous aspect.

GEoRGIA.-The. official returns from

EcoNoaY.-Thc word economy, like great
many others, has, in application, been. very
much abused. II is generally used as if il
meant parsimony, stnginess, or niggardnesss;
and ut last, merely the reiraining from spend.
ing money. Hence misers and close-iisted
men disguise their propensity and conduct
under the name Of economy; whereas the
most liberal disposition precisely contrary to
that of the nliser, is perfectly consistent with
economy. Economy means management, and
nothing more and it is generally applied to
the affairs of house and family, which af-
fairs are an object the greatest importance
whether as relating to individuals or nation.
A nation is made powerful, and to be honor
cd in the world, not so much by the number
of its people as by the ability and character
of that people: and the ability and character
Of people depend, in great measure upon
the economy Of the several families which, all
taken together, make up the nation. There
never yet was, and never will be, nation
permanently great, consisting for the greater
part, Of wretched and miserable families.

the grosscst frauds have been resorted

rying their election in New Jersey
In Saddle River Township, Bergen Co.
only "a votes were returned by the
Loco Foco officers of election, whereas
80 persons have made solemn oath that
they voted the Wing ticket. Aflidavits
are also published showing the bascst
frauds practised by the officers of cleo
ton in South Amboy, Middlcsex county,
to promote the Loco Foco Congress
ticket
The Advertiser says" There is n
determination here to pursue these in
vestigations until public justice is sat-
isfed. Evidence enough has already
been obtained to show incontestibly
that illegal votes enough were polled,
to say nothing of other frauds, (such
for instance as false returns, &C., rs in

Queen:
"The nearest view had of England's
Queen was in st. Georges Chapel at Wind

very bright and very unusual for England.
I stood in one OF the long gothic corridors
leading into the Royal closet. a carpet was
placed the whole length, and on each side
and number of adics and gentlemen took
up their position to have view also of the
lovely young Queen. In n few minutes, the
royal carriage drove up 20 the gothic cIirancc
the Queen dismountcd-and preceded by
two footmcn, she tripped her way through
the corridor or aisle, bowing and smiling to
the company OIL each side OF her, as she
passed.
She was followed by her suite, walking in
Indian file one by one. This was one OF the
best views had of the Queen, for hap
pened to be standing on the very edge of the
narrow carpet as she passed, and could not
be more then three feet from her. She was
dressed in silk gown, with fowers-but no
narrow sleeves. Over her shoulders she
wrapped plain shawl. She wore simple
white bonnet, with red and white roses, her
veil flung back. As she trippcd down few
marble steps that led To the main avenue,
had very fine view of her beautiful little
feet and neatly turned ancles.

little Knickerbockcr girl, neatly, clcanly, but
most simply dressed, tripping down Broad.
