THE ELECTION.

The returns from other parts of the ter
rltory come in very slowly. The majori-
ty in this county for Dodge will be seen by
reference TO the table.
Milwaukee is now estimated at $50 ma
jority for Dodge.
Waworth has given 81 majority in
favor Of Dodge: Rock, small majority in
favor of Arnold. The Wing Representa-
tive ticket in this district is elected.
Jefferson, from returns IN, it is thought
has gone for Dodge.
Dane and Sank have given small ma
jority for Arnold.
Thus far, the heavy majorilies given in
Racine and Milwaukee, for Dodge, stand
undiminished by the vote Of the other coun-
tics; if any thing little increased.

VESSELS IN GREAT DEMAND Vessels on
lake Michigan were never in good demand as they
now are. We hear complaints from nearly every COM
merca town the lake Of the scarcity of freight YES
se and OF the large quantities of produce now waiting
TO be shipped. Although there probably more sail
vessels the lake this season. than there have been
any former one, yet the unusual quantity of surpus
produce renders freight down the lake extremely diff
fcult to be obtained In Michigan City at our latest
accounts there 900 bushels of wheat on hand
besides large quantity of flour. Wheat was coming
INTO Michigan City at the rate Of 900 bushels per day
AT ST. sephs the quantity of wheat hand is nearl
as large as at Michigan City. At Chicago this place
and Racine, large of wheat is in store and
ready to be shipped as soon opportunity shall Offer
Large quantities ofwheat in the severa market towns
on the lake, must OF necessity remain in the hands of
the owners untlnext The increasedrprices OF
freight would produce falling off in the price of wheat
the present fall season. there no other ccumstan
ces calculated to depress our market. We know of
many farmers in tae country who are retaining their
wheat from market in consequence of the late falling
of in prices If farmers wish TO obtain good prices for
their produce, we hope to them actively engaged in
forwarding petitions to Congress for harbor appropra

GEN. DODGE.-Thc triumphant election of Gen,
DODGE to the office of Delegate in Congress is
morally certain. There are circumstances connected
with this result, which render the election Of Gen.
Dodge matter of more than ordinary graduation to
his friends Ever since Gen. Dodge was put in nom-
nation for the office which he has been elected there
has been unusual degree of interest felt in various
portions of the United States for his success. This
solctude ddno arise because of the Importance of the
Office but from strong attachment 10 the individual.
who had rendered his country many distinguished
services. Gratitude is virtue which belongs TO the
American people, rand whenever the exercise of this
vruue shall be forgotten then may tremble for the
Republic 1t was the lively indulgence of this virtue
which created such general anxiety throughout the
country for the elevation Gen. Dodge the office for
which he had been designated by his democratic
friends. And now that he has been successful, we
doubt not but that there will be thrill of satisfaction
in every portion of the Union, where the name and his
tory of Gen. Dodge have been familiar. There prob
ably has been single instance in the whole coun-
try, where an election comparatively isolated and
in which the country in general had no important po-
tcal interest at stake, has excited much sooitude
the election of Gen. Dodge. 1t exhibits that most
gratifying trait of character in the people, which de-
lights to those honored 'who have done the state
some service
Another gratifying consideration in the election of
Gen. Dodge is that his has doubtless given
more general satisfaction in this Territory than ever
the result OF the would seem indicate. Ma
ny honest wings constrained to vote for Dolgein
consideration of his superior merit and claims upon the
sufrag9s of the people. There abundant evdences
that hundreds who voted for Arnold would lave gladly
voted for Dodge had they not been Influenced with the
tar of doing injury to the partythey preferred Dodge
and secretly wished him success but supposed po-
cal consistency induced them vote for the opposite
candidate. We make pretensions to the discerning
of the thoughts and intentions of men, we draw not
our conclusions from such premisos-we judge from
the honest expressions of men--of wings, and make
remarks accordingly. take it for granted then
that the election Of Gen. Dodge was wished for by
much larger majority in the Territory than is indca-
ted by the result of the canvass In making these as
sertons, would not be understood as accusing any
of political dishonesty There are certain notions of
political consistency and of party rropriey which
not defined by any political manuel, but every is
governed in this matter according to his own views
of right and wrong.

We are told that in Milwaukee on cleo
ton day, it was urged against Gen. Dodge
tha,he had refused to pledge himself should
he be elected, to support the claims of Mil
waukee for harbor, in preference to other
points onthe lake, whilst on the other hand
it was urged in favor Of Mr.. Arnold, that
he had given such pledge in favor of Mil
waukee. Such being the facts, the people
Of Racine will be able to place proper
estimate upon the efforts of those who be-
fore the election, endeavored to induce them
to go for Arnold on the ground that he was
in favor Of their interest whilst Dodge was
opposed But it is not to this we would al
lude. Taking the success of Gen. Dodge
for granted, we congratulate the people OF
Racine and the counties west, that they at
length have a delegate who has proper
estimate Of their claims and importan nee.
1t has been the misfortune heretofore that
our claims have been considered Of secon-
dairy consequence; that it has been deemed
absolutely necessary that one point should
be improved before others were thought Of
We are by no means disposed to set up a
claim unsupported by any good grounds.
With the trihing exception of being the first
point on the route from the lower lakes,
and somewhat nearest the geographical
centre, Milwaukee presents no superior
claims. We have a more fertile soil and
as thickly settled; we raise more produce
and have more to ship; we impor, as much,
and in short, we have as great an extent
of country with as many people, demand
ing an outlet to market. from this section.
We shall now, we have no doubt have our
claims presented upon their real merits,
and whilst no undue Importance is sought
to be gained for any point, all will be al
lowed their true weight.

RACINE THE BANNER COUNTY

Although we have not the full returns
we hazard but little in saying, that the ma
jority for Dodge in Racine, will be greater
than in any other county in the territory.
Milwaukee tried hard forthe post of honor
but she ''coull'nt quite come it," and some
of her good democrats, feel little chagrl-
ned at the result She has exceeded all
expectation though, and no doubt would
have done still more, had there been any
idea that Racine would have walked I'D the
majority she has. Racine is pared to
maintain the post she has won. and fellow
democrats if you have any more brave old
soldiers and honest men who have been
sought to be sacrificed to unprncipled de-

promise them similar majority.

As will be seen by the returns, the de-
mocrats have failed to elect one of the re-
representatives. on the ticket. 1t is plain that
this is from no want Of strength in the par.
ty, but for want OF union on the nominee.
We cannot approve of the course of those
who allow themselves to be influenced to
oppose the regular nominee of their con-
vention. They have every privilege and
opportunity in their primary meetings,
which II is their duty to attend, to urge their
individual preferences, but certainly if thew
approve of conventions at all and have any
interest in the triumph of their principle,
they are IN duty bound to submit to the no.
limitations of their own delegates. At the

Gratis the necessity of close adherence to
principle on all occasions, and in this coun-
ty at least, we shall not often be obliged TO

A scretched Deginning.-Doty, Cham

these territories might be brought into the
Union, as wing states. These men had
done the party great service during the pre-
sidential campaign, and were deemed Pc
culiarly fitted for the intended purpose, but
certainly the prospect opens very bad. To-
wa elected Gen. A. C. Dodge to the dele
gacy by fine majority, and Wisconsin

The NEW CABINET.-The selection made
by the President Of gentlemen to fill the va
cancies occasioned by the resignation Of
Messrs. EWING, BELL, BADGER, and CRIT
TENDEN appear to be judicious. They are
not whit inferior to their predecessors in
point Of personal character or in qualifica-
ton for the Offices towhich they have been
called. Judge M'Lean held the office of
Postmaster General for several years, and
was appointed by General Jackson to a seat
on the bench Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. He had many friends in
Pennsylvania and other States who were
DESTROYS of supporting him for the Presi
dency previous 10 the election of Mr.. Van
Buren,. Walter Forward, the new Secrc-
tary of the Treasury, is one of the ablest
lawyers in Western Pennsylvania, and is
distinguished no less by his talents than by
the purity of his personal character. Mr..
Legare was an original supporter of Gen.
Jackson, and separated from the friends of
Mr.. Van Buren, on the SUBJ Treasury cues
ton. He ranks as conservative repub-
lican, and is one of the ablest writer's and
most eloquent speakers of the South.
Judge Upshur, Of Virginia, is less known
