| Gov Everetts reelection considered quite
doubtful by the politicians in all quarters before
election, because, in giving his official sanction TO
the License Law, he incurred the hostility OF n
considerable class OF voters in the Wing ranks 1t
operated greatly against him Inst year--hc recotv-
ing about 5000 majority only when the Wing mem
bors of Congress received larger majority by
thousands And this year too, it has operated still
more. While the Wings have elected about 60

toul, jr. one of the most prominent Van Buren, men
in the State-out of which grew tho present law.
The V b. members of the Legislature voted for
the law, but so soon as 1t was manifest that the
law was popular with the people, they, or the
leading Van Buren, men OF the State, with certain
exceptions, denounced Gov Everett, for signing the
bill and we fear, have voted him down But Mr.
Rantoul has acted more consistenty--he traversed
the State before election and delivered addresses
in support of the law. But for this political ma.
neuvre Gov. Everett's majority could scarcely
have fallen short of IS 900. The Worcester Eois
remarks
Tho election has scarcely turned on national
principles The wing party has been divided and
distracted by causes Of discomfort and dissensions
ofa character entirely local Many of the electors
have separated themselves from political connex |
ions and thrown themselves into the ranks of the |
enemy from dissatisfaction with particular meas |
ures OF legislation. Probably the larger proportion
of the loss may be attributed to the unhappy di Wis
ion growing out of the License Law. Citizens
who dsapproved of the statute, last year retained
their political integrity in the expectation that the
obnoxious provisions would be SO modified as to be
acceptable before they went into operation. The

HE WAY THE PEOPLE ARE sPUNGED. The Gov
eminent demands the payment of the duties on
goods OF the importers, in gold and silver and pays
its own debts to the people in Treasury Notes.
The Office holders receive their pay in specie and
sell it TO the debtors to the Government at an adj
vance of 10 and Is per cent or and Is dollars on
a hundred. Thus it will be under the Sub Treas.
ury reign; and here is the reason, we apprehend,
why the office holders uniformly support the
scheme, In the last Philadelphia ADVERTISER, the
annexed paragraph appeared
In consequence of duty bonds falling due, there
was Thursday large demand for silver, for
which as high as fifteen per cent premium was paid.
To illustrate how the matter operates-Mr Van
Buren, receives $25, 900 salary per year. He knows
when there are large payments due from merchants
in Philadelphia and New York, and that specie
will command premium. If he chooses, or If any
of the Government officers choose to do so, he or
they will draw their salaries in gold and silver, and
send it to breaker in one of these places. The
merchant wants gold and silver to pay his bonds to
the Government and off he goes to the broaker-
He, the breaker, demands Is per cent premium
and the merchant is obliged to pay it.. And Mr.
Van Buren, get on his $4,000 premium of
$3 ESQ, save perhaps 800 broakerage-and the
specie goes into the Treasury to be drawn OH, n
