From he Bufalo Economist THAT SAME OLD COON

From Ae Bugaio Economist.
 THAT SAME OLD COON BY CHAPMAN cRows.-Air--Ole Dan Tucker The moon was up, and as bright as day, The stars they winked in their quiet way; But very sick beastwas that ssame old Coon,', For the west wind whistled this bran-new tune
 Get out of the way, you're quite too late,
 You 'tarnel coon, for the Empire State, The Coon had hoped that the Jersey Blues Would tickle his nose with some wholesome news But his heart grew sad and his fur fell off For he heard, and it gave him church-v yard cough
 Get out of the way, Sc. So over the river, that ..same old Coon 5 lie jumped like thief, to .scut dirt tune; But it followed him there like hue-and-cry, That terrible sound which he could not fly --G Get cut ei the way, &c--- Then up at the west to take peep He came, and an anti he found asleep. With cable tow on his neck, and then His coonship laughed, but he heard again
 Get out of the way, Sc. So the Coon lay down, and his voice got wheezy, His face grew pale and his stomach uneasy He heaved, he kicked, he attempted to boast, But the wind still shrieked he gave up the ghost
 Get out of the way Sc.

Senate.--Of the eight Senate districts, the Democrats carry SEVEN, and probably EIGHT -electng certainly 8 of the 9 Senator's and showing 26 Democrats to 6 Wings ill that body.
 House.-The returns so far show the cleo ton oi so Democratic, and 9 Federal mem bers. In all probability, the Democratic az gregate will run up to 90-to 39 Wings.
 The Senate will show large Democratic gain since last year, and the House will be nearly the same as then. The Wings gain i'll Rensselaer,, Schenectady, Cayuga, Ulster, and Westchester-9 in all. The Democrats gain, Gas far as heard,) in Monroe, Orleans, Warren, 1 in Cortland, and in New-Y ork - in all. But we shall not be surprised at farther gains in the Eighth district-enough, probably, to offset all losses.
 The aggregate Democratic majority in the State will not be less than INVENTIVE FIVE, THOUSAND, and the majority on the Sena- torial vote will be at least THIRTY THOU SAND.
 This is most triumphant result. It tshows how reliable for Democratic majority the people of this State are, under nearly any cir cumstances. It may be regarded also as a most emphatic response to the proceedings of the Syracuse Convention, and is proud indication to our Democratic brethren of other States, of Mr. VAN BUREN's strength of position in his Native State.

Later from Merico.-By an arrival at N. Orleans from Mexico, the intelligence of a difference between the representative of the English Government and the Government of Mexico is fully confirmed The affair looks as if Santa Anna would soon have the English laundering about his ears. It Is rumored that an angry correspondence has taken place between our Minister and the Mexican Gov crnment, on the subject of the annexation of TeXas to this Union.

 The following items we collect from the Boston Post. The repeal agitation in Ire- land has received a check ill the peaceable arrest of Mr. O'Connell and several of his followers, on charge of conspiracy to ex- cite sedition; they have given bail for their appearance for trial on the 2lth of November. The civil government has called large mili- tary force into Ireland to support it's mea- sures, should their interference at any time be necessary. The Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, De Gray, issued his proclamation on the Eth, prohibitory of agitation meetings.- Mr. O'Connell, when arrested, entered into recognizance in the sum of one thousand pounds, with two securities of five hundred pounds each, and immediately issued the fol- lowing letter to the people of Ireland, calling upon them to keep the peace:
 Iohe people of fHeldnd.-Beloved fellow countrymen announce to you that which you will hear from other quarters, namely, that have this day given bail to answer to charge of conspiracy and other msde- meanors, the first day of next term. make this announcement in order to conjure the people, one and all, to observe the strictest and most perfect tranquility. Any attempt 10 disturb the public peace may be most dis astrous-certainly, would be criminal and mschlevous.
 Attend, then, beloved countrymen, to me-
 Be not tempted by anybody to break the peace, to violate the law, or to be guilty of any tumult or disturbance. The slightest crime against order or the public peace may ruin our beautiful and otherwise triumphant cause.
 If you will, during this crisis, follow my advice, and act as entreat you to do, pa tiently, quietly, and legally, think l can pledge myself to you, that the period is not far distant wheA our revered sovereign will open the Irish Parliament in College Green
 Every attempt of our enemies to disturb the progress of repeal hitherto, has had adj rect contrary effect This attempt will also fail, if it be not assisted by any misconduct on the part of the people,
 Be tranquil, then, and we shall be trilmph- ant, have the honor to be, your ever faith ful servant. DANIEL O'CoNNELL.
 Merrior Sq'r. Oct. Ii, 1913.
 On the 18th bail was entered for Dr. Gray, C. G, Dntiey. Rev. P. T. Tyrrell, T M. Ray, K. Banett, Thomas Kerney and Thomas Steel, all leading repealers, and held to bail on information similar to that against the o. Councils.

EteUen gears ago we imported our loco- motive engines from England; now we have 600 in use, nearly all of them made in this country while we have exported more than 50 locomotives to Russia, Austria and to England. Eleven years ago, all grades, to exceed 30 feet to the mile was thought inad- missble, barrel of flour is now transport ed from Albany to Boston, 200 miles, for 20 cents the bbl., to include every charge, over grades of from 30 to 95 feet to the mile.- Eleven years ago, it was considered that rail ways could not carry freight, or compete with canals ;-now, the State of New York refuses to permit the private line of railways. parallel to the Erie canal, to carry freight. even burthened with canal tolls The Phi ladelphia, Reading and Pottsville Railroad side by side with the Schuylkill canal, has caused the stock of the canal to fall in the market more than 50 per cent, and the rail- road has reduced the price heretofore charg- ed by the canal for freight, nearly in the same ratio. The railway transports gross ton of coal, 2240 lbs. 100 miles, for S1 40 or in the ratio of one and fourth cents per mile per ton of 2000 lbs

Mississippi Eleciions.-As yet authentic returns of the different and distant parts of the State are so incomplete, that only proba- ble estimate can be made of the result, but the Reformer says that, from the inlorma- ton received, there is no possible doubt of the triumph of democracy in the State. The democratic majority will no doubt far exceed that of any former election.
 .New- York ElectionS-The Coon is dead in the Empire State. The result of the elec- tions throughout the State, proclaims that Democracy has again triumphed, and that Federal corruption and Coonery are pros trated by the loud voice of the people, to the tune of about 25,000 Cror, c0oaey, cro,c. The following details of the elections, we copy from the Piebeidn:

Too Good to be Lost.-While the Wings were earousing and coon-singing on Tuesday evening, over the victory which they didn't gain, and holding forth in most grandiloquent style over (as they foolishly believed) their great achievement, MT. -, one of the Whig candidates for Assembly, even surpassed him seif in the high wrought eloquence with which he announced his election, and thanked, with much gravity, and with a heart over flowing with kindness, the glorious Whig party for his unheardof success. On closing his tremendous effort our jolly Whig friend, Phil. Peitch, was called up. He mounted the rostrum-surveyed the anxious multitude with gravity becoming his manly propor- tions, and with calmness which at once surprised and astonished his Whig friends; then laying his hand upon his shoulder, and slowly turning round his ponderous form, and looking up into the face of the last speaker, said, < are-you-sure--you elected" Then quietly resuming his posi- ton, bowed to the audience and left the stage. The effect upon the audience was irresistibly comc-and ludicrous in the extreme It was perfect wet blanket to their gay amuse- ment, and the gentleman alluded to learned before he went to bed, that he was not only '' whipped community" but stood among the lowest on his ticket. .N.

A card has been issued by the citizens of Crawford county, over the signatures of more than one hundred respectable lreeholders, in viting their fellow-citizens of Crawford coun- ty to meet in the town of Van Buren, on the 18th instant, for the purpose of taking into consideration the exposed and defenceless situation of our frontier, upon which subject the Intelligencer thus warmly speaks:
 We look forward with pleasure to this meeting, where the independent freemen liv ing in the country, upon the spot-who see, and know, and feel the necessity of the de- fence of the frontier, will assemble i'll their majesty, to discuss this all absorbing and im- portant subject; when they will patiently and respectfully state to the General Government, the true position of affairs on our border; and when they will manfully and courteous ly demand at the hands of the Government, that protection to which they are entitled, from the circumstances under which 1t has placed them.
 We learn that the citizens of other counties are moving upon this subject; and full ex- pression of our border population will be had, and forwarded to our delegation du- ring the early part of the session of Con gress.
 We place implicit confidence in the gene rosity, magnanimity, and justice of our fel- low-citizens of this great Republic, which is so well able to protect it's frontier settlers and especially the citizens of the States of Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. They have labored, and suc- ceeded in getting rid of the Indians in their several territories, at an immense cost of blood and treasure, who have been located and concentrated, by the Government, upon our immediate border They, we are as sured, will aid us in procuring protection hard to get rid of.
 Some of our friends in the East, who re- tire night after night, secure from the appre- tensions of midnight attack, and the startling war-Whoop, savage yell, and nocturnal con- hagrations, may not dream-cannot, proba- bly,, imagine the danger, the slumberng vol cano upon which we repose. They do not entertain due sympathy for us, and conse- quently treat our petitions with undeserved indifference. They tell us that all is peace among us-that we are not attacked by the lndians-and that they do not believe we will be. When the knife is at our throats-the tomahawks are upon our heads-our houses burned to the ground, and our property de- stroyed, it is then too late to inform our Co., vernment, and ask for succor. The millions in the United States Treasury, and her aveng- ing soldiers can avail us nothing, when our deceased brethren are buried victims of sa- wage war When that period arrives, we can arenge our slaughtered kin-we can throw aside the seabbard, and sword in hand plunge into the mighty strife-our farms can lay wasted-our stores will be left deserted, and we will wreak signal revenge upon our enc mies But that will not restore to life our friends, or a feeling of security for the fl- ture.
 It is to avoid this awful state of things, that we are striving. tis easier to prevent a war, and it can be done at a less expense, than the evils can be repaired

q ThRIFF ARGUMRNT ANsWERED

A TARIFF ARGUMENT ANSWERED.
The following from the Petersburg Intelii-
goncer shows an Anti Tahfargumenl may be
Knocked into "cOcked hat" BY a plain fact
and little common sense.
aThe people Olthe South arc 70 be made
hewsrs Of wood and drawersof water to the
manufacturers Of the North" say the op-
POnents Of discriminating Tariff @Tbey
are 10 pay TWO prices for what they consume,
m order that the rich capitalists Of New Eng
land may make a good per centage on their
money" These doleful expressions have
bean repeated so often, that many persons
take them 10 be true, without troubling them
selves to inquire into the fcis. Some years
since, a prominent member Of Congress was
on a visit TO this place, and was discoursing
with great JUNCTION on the equal operation Of
tho Tanffof 1914, against the South. Among
other instances, be adduced a certain iabn
Of cotton, the price Of which to the Southern
consumer he said bad been .aised six cents q
yard by the Tariff A shrewd gentleman
from the land Of steady habits, who was sitting
in the store in which Mr. G. was discoursing.
waited until he had aroused himself to the
highest pitch Of indignation against the grasp
ing policy fthe North, and then very coolly
showed him a bale Of the goods, the price Of
which, he said has been so much enhanced by
The Tariff, and which were selling in this mar
ket at precisely the price per yard which the
NJ. G. had charged as an increase caused by
the Tariff to wit, six cents a yard. Now
here was one fact that put to fight column
Of distractions, The NJ. C.'s political econo-
my made the yard ofcloh six ccnts more than
il did before, and The ConneticuBmln's prac-
teal experience showed that the cloth, at that
moment, selling in the market a: six cents
per yard.
The experience Of every day goes to show
that the operation Of the Tariffin the South Is
grossly misunderstood or misrepr osented.
