ELEC ECrIoN.--Centrary to our eXpecta-
tons, when we issued our last number, we
learn that George P. Profit, (Whig,) is
elected to Congress, in the first District,
over Robert Dale Owen, by handsome ma
ority, so that the Indiana, delegation will
contain two Wings, Profit and Rariden,
instead of Rariden alone, as we were led to
believe. In the Cd, Sd, 4th, 9th, and 9TH,
Districts, Van Buren men have succeeded,
but by what majorities we know not yet, nor
shall we until we receive the official returns
in full.
In the General Assembly the Van Buren
majority will be less than we at first anticl-
pated. 1t may be from 10 to 16.
In North Caralina, Deberry and Stanley,
(Whigs,) are reelected, and Bynum, ~.
b. There is probably but little gain OF
loss by either party.
In Tennessee, Polk is elected Governor,
BY majority of two or three thousand. |,
is supposed the delegation in Congress will
stand 7 Wings and Van Buren,.
In Kentucky, the Louisville Journal says,
-" In the Maysville District, Garret DAVIS
Whig. is elected by a large majority over
Slack. Triplelt, Wing, in the Yellow Banks
District is elected by amojori.y Of over 1000.

Mn. Clay met witt. most joyful recep-
ton in New York. When he arrived In the
Park he was addressed by Dudley Selden
ESD. on behalf of the citizens assembled,
which was SAID to be an immense con-
course.
Whatever may be his prospect for OBJ
tanning the Presidential chair he cannot but
be highly gratilied with the cordial greeting
that has every where net him in his jour
ncy.
1t is not oftself an honor to hold public
office, but it is worthy of the ambition of
the best aud wsest men to deserve well OF
the country by well directed energles to
promote it's interests. No man we believe
has more honestly or energeLicaIIy eXerted
himself in building up these interests than
Mr.. Clay. With some Of hisvjews we do
not accord, but the need Of patriotism-an
ardent devotion to his country we do not
perceive how any unprejudiced American
can Withhold.

The DEMOCRATIC REvIBw.-This moga-
zine well maintains the partlzan character
with which 1t is set out. Its articles on bank
ing and currency put in high claims 20 de"
mocracy, but in general are of contrary
character. The series on Philadelphia bank
ing evince much personal and partlzan feel
ing, and are entirely destitute Of all appear
ance of an impartial search after truth. The
writer may be an able advocate but he de-
serves not the name Of Statesman. We
have long maintained that our present bank
ing system is bad, and we should take great
pleasure in witnessing its charge for one
founded on equal rights. But we would not
overturn hastily what we could not replace,
much less would we initiate the writer
above alluded to-, and decry banking credit
because it has been abused by monopoIes-
the creatures of unauthorized legislative in
terfereace. In the August No. of this
Magazine, Mr.. Cumbrellcng says, "Bank-
ing, legitimate banking, is a trade and
should be as free as all other trades" This
we call the true doctrine Of the friends OF
equal rights, and if the Administration
would adopt the views of its late chancellor
of the exchoquer and act upon them-o
large anG Intelligent portion of the wings
would on this subject applaud and support.
But the Democratic Review on this import
ant subject wears double face. In one
article it puts forth biLar trades against
all paper credit, and in another 1t promul-
gates with ability and dignity the import
ance ofremoving all legislative imPcdIments
to its unlimited use. Mr.. CambrelIeng II
the August No. says, "let it (free bank
ing) regulate the quantity of capital, and
this branch will keep pace with all 9th
ers; it will increase with the increase o
commercial credits and with the growtI
of trade. As the demand increases SO vii
the supply, and no portion ofthe capital o
the country will be unemployed. This ls
the secret of the success of the ScotcI
banking system &C." Tais Is the true doc
trine.
In Ohio, all promises to pay made on sill
paper like bank note are VOID, unless mad'
by some one of our banking monopolIes
This the wings call protecting the people
against their own lgnorance-and the eel
styled democrats Of our legislature ar
equally afraid to trust the peope--and re
fuse o repeal the odious act. Are the peo
pie of Ohio always to remain in state o
pupilage to their legislature? Does tha
body contain all the practical wisdom q
the state-,-that they take upon themselve
to say--you the people may receive an'
pay out the promises of an irresponsible
corporation, but you shall not take nor pa!
away the promises of men of responsibillt
and integrty--if made on silk paper.
Did the people ever petition the legIsl4tur
to protect them from themselves!

InoN SrEAMBoAT.--The Iron boat con-
structing at Pittsburgh is to be launched in
a few days. She will be the first IRON boat
built in the great valley, and it is proposed
ia call her NUMBER ONE. The length of
the boat is l45 feet, breadth of beam 25
feet, and depth Of hold 6 feet. The Ga
zette says:
Her hull is composed entirely of iron.
Her bottom, side, and deck, being of
sheets of IRON, secured together by innumer,,
Bile rivets; her ibis and beams are formed
of strips of iron bent into this shape so
as to give them stiffness and to permit the
bottom and the deck sheets to be readily ri
vited to them. A water proof iron bulk
head extends through her whole length, and
three similar bulk heads divide her length
into four parts. Her hold will, therefore be
divided into six compartments, all separated
by water proof sheet iron bulk-heads, thus
rendering the sinking of the boat almost i'm
possible.
Her guards will also be composed eXclu-
sively Of iron, so that her hull is entirely
safe from fire.
The whole frame of the deck is so well
secured together, as to give her very great
stiffness and tenOcty. We anticipate very
confidently that she will prove very valu'
able acquisition on our western waters
and tile forerunncr ofmany similar ones.'

passengers. for Montgomery and the inter-
mediate landings, when about five miles
from the city, took fire in the hole from
some as yet unknown cause, and in less

edge.
The alarm was gived to the passengers
while they were seated at the supper table,
and in moment after, the cabin was SO fill

The fire was discovered while in narrow

one ofthe banks in time for the passengers to
spring safely ashore, and 1t is believed that
not lille was lost by the accident.
She was heavily loaded with merchandise

CouRT HousE.-The Blade oil last week
has an argument to prove that the county
commissioners have the right to place the
Court House elsewhere than on the beau-
tiful wooded point selected for its site
This is intended, doubtless, to quiet such o.
the lower town as have no interest in river
tract No. three. But have the tax payers
in the county no interest in the matter! We
have understood that the engagement to
build court house for the county was ba-
sed on its location on that particular tract.
Is it the intention of the people OF Toledo
to saddle the county with the expense OF
building court house for them after prom
Using that they would build a splendid one
from their own means if the commissioners
would locate it on tract three This must
be the effect of It's removal from that tract.
What say you tax paying voters of Lucas
county--are you willing to have your taxes
doubled, in order to unite all the city Of To.
ledo against review!
Will the Blade publish the report Of the
Commissioners locating the county seat
ard the conditions on which the Donation
were made? ltis time for the county to lool
into this matter.
If the court house had been located "A
Maumee, as it should have been, the citizens
of that place would have built spacious
court house before this time, and the res
of the county would thus have never beel
threatened with tax for the purpose.
