A NEW MOVEMENT.

A new impulse has lately been given to
the cause of temperance. The right sort of
men are now at work, and the grea, success
they have had is the best encouragement for
perseverance. Those who have heretofore
been in the habit of drinking have taken
hold in earnest and are doing something
worthy themselves and the cause. In
short time orc thousand pcrs ms will have
joined the society, and what is still more
cheering, it will number among its most zeal
Gus and honorable members, many who have
been snatchcd from the precipice.
Meetings are held once fortnight in the
Cour, House, and il is animating and con-
soling to see the interest that is felt and the
effect that is produced. Those who attend
know it and appreciate it. If there is any
thing great and noble, it is man reclaimed
from degradation, standing out in the dignity
of a high resolve, laboring for the good Of
others. Such there are, and the number is
increasing.
The time has gone by when it is necessary
to reason with men about the evils of intem-
pcrancc.-He who does not see them cannot,
be reasoned with. Every man must see the
evils that has eyes to see, and every one ca
pablc Ohio orable feeling will admit that in
temperance is IA curse. What is wanted is to
convince the subjects of it of their true situa-
ton. /, is melancholy fact tina, the most
dreadful cots amongus cannot be convinced of
their situation. Say to one of this class that
he is the worse for liquor and he will tell
YOU that you are mistaken. What then
shall be done Persevere, persevere. 1t
is here that the reclaimed have 1t in their
power to do great good. Their word will
be more readily taken, their assurance may
be credited when that of others will be shun-
ned. lie, all the people then, encourage
these men in their great work of reforming
the drunkards. Their labor may be great,
but great shall be their reward. A.. d.

NEW YORK.

The election in this State has resulted as
most people anticipated, in the success Of
the locofoco party, in both branches Of the
legislature. Their majority will be two in
the Senate, and over fifty in the House.
Yet they fall 25 900 votes short of the num-
Der cast for their ticket last year. TIE
truth is. the wings have suffered the election
to 90 entirely by default; and while the result
amounts to revolution Of the state, it indi-
Gates no accession whatever to the ranks of
Iocofocoism. In the city of New York the
contest was somewhat closer than usual, and
the wings have elected one of the two Sena-
tors, and three of the thirteen members. Mr.
Granger, late p. M. General, we also OBJ
serve, is returned to Congress from his dis
trict, by about four hundred majority.
The following jude Gus remarks on the dis
astrous results of the election, are from the n.
Y. Tribune
1--WE do not waste much space on the details
of our state election. 1t is needless We have
! already announced the loss of the Assembly by
an overwhelming majority. The Senate may or
may not have gone with it, but in a tornado like
this it is wise TO apprehend the worst. At all
events, the Wing cause in this state is temporar.
lily PROSTATE. Fifty thousand Wing voters have
refused or neglected TO vote, while not more
than twenty ,housandol our opponents have done
! likewise. The consequence is the loss OF the
state by fifteen or twenty thousand.
There are many causes of this reverse, though
no reasons for it. The policy and measures of
the Wing party are still identified with the
bos. interests of the country ; and their defeat,
however temporary, must prove disa hrous TO
those interests. The people still believe with
us that the restoration of a sound and uniform
rae teal currency, the due protection and en-
enlargement Of American industry, the vigorous
though jud'cIous persecution Of mlcrna' improve

BosroN, Nov. S.-Tho British steam

IN our harbour yesterday, at two o'clock PM.

8 per cent. which has now become the cur.
rent value ofmoney for temporary loans on
uncxceptionablc securities. The hardness Of
the Britannia, which has occasioned no little
anxiety here, was caused by her detention
forty-eight hours in Liverpool, as well as by
severe Westerly gales on her passage. The
Britannia was detained by order of the Post
master General, in consequence of the non.
arrival the Caledonia, which was expected
to bring some important dispatches for the
government from the Canddas. The anxiety
OF the people of England for intelligence
from the other side Of the Atlantic was intense.
and, special railway trains we're for some
days in waiting to convey her news Instantly
to London. She came into port on Tues.
day evening, Oct. 10lh having been pre-
coded some few hours by the packct.ship
South America, which sailed from New York
on the day previous to her departure from
here. AS the papers received by the South
America announced that the Caledonia would
leave here on the Cd, and the commander Of
the packet ship was, Of course, unaware OF
the damage which the steamer had sustained
on her passage from this port to Halifax, il
was supposed that she had been detained in
the latter port for other than the real reasons,
and publick curiosity was still further awak-
cned to ascertain the exact cause ofthe delay.

October to the 1l,h of November. The

EXECUTION OF A MURDERER.
. His C0nfessiOn-Hs Extraordinary Resusci-
fation.

tation.
John White, convicted of the murder of
Messrs. Gwatkins and Glenn, on board flat
boat, on the Ohio river, was executed at Lou
isviIle, KY, on the 9th inst, a little after six
o'clock in the morning. The Judge in sem
fencing him adjudged his execution to take
place at any time between the hours of Ga. NJ.
and 3 p. NJ, and the Sheriff, without making
the fact notorious, chose the earliest moment,
so as to prevent the immense crowd which
would have been in attendance from witness
ing it. But few persons were therefore pres
ent. He died hard-the rope not ''playing"
chin instead of being under his ear. His
neck was not broken by the fall. Previous
to his death he wrote letter to his father, in
which he stated that he was present when the
unfortunate men were murdered, that he did
not participate in the act, but was compelled
20 beg his own life from two men who muir
dered them. He names the men as Charles
Short and jerry, surname not given.
He was cut down after hanging about 25 min
utes, and his body given over to the Doctors
for experiment. The Louisville City Ga
zette gives the annexed extraordinary cIrcum-
stances attending an experiment with the
galvanic battery:
WHITE's TRANSFORMATION, OR WONDERS OF

Whites execution, yesterday, was not in the
most approved style, for the mere pleasure of
the operation. The knot by some maneuvre
instead of being fixed by his ear, where it
would have facilitated the breaking of his
neck, happened to come in his face, by which
means the choking was of the most imperfect
Sort He hung squirming and kicking long
time before he surrendered, and occasionally
gave forth blasts from his mouth and nostrls.
After hanging about % minutes he was cut
down and conveyed away, to be experimental
upon by Philosophers and Anatomists. He
was an excellent subject for experimenting
upon, as the execution was such that no dis
organization had taken place. The face of
the corpse did not look half so bad as they gen.
orally do, and in fact he was considered not
much different from man 90 minutes drown

"Speak to child-any child-in calm,
positive, clear voice, and he will be sure to
obey you, ifyou speak once, and only once
Mrs. &gourney.
This is true, and if it were observed in fam
lily government there would be few disobedi-
ent children. Every parent has one particu-
lar tone, one particular voice, which every
child, if it be not entirely spoiled, will obey.
Letany child cry fort moon to any parent,
he will be refused always with that voice.
What is the consequence! The child stops
crying. A child cries for razor, a looking
glass, or teapot, full of boiling water. He
will generally be refused in such voice
with such peremptory look, that he will not
venture to ask again. 1t lisa pity parents do
not observe this, and profit by it. Let them
refuse any thing precisely as they do refuse
what is impossibe-as they do refuse the
moon, the razor, and the water-in the same
voice, in the same way, and they will have
little or no trouble with child. Nature is
full OF these delicate, sweet limitations for the
heart ola parent.-NetUark .4dyertiser.
