SAoAcITY OF DoG--The following curious in-
stance of the intelligence of dog is related by the
Edinburg Weekly Register .'The animal belonged
to celebrated chemist, who tried upon II the effect
Of certain poison, and upon the next day admins
tered counterpoison, which had the effect OF pre-
serving the poor creatures life. The next day ano-
Their dose was offered him but merci said he, he
would not touch it. Different sorts Of poisonous
drugs presented to him, but he fesoutely re-
fused all. Bread offered but he would not touch
it meat, but he turned from water but he would
not drink. To re-assure him, his master offered
him bread and meat Of which he himself ate in the
dogs presence and of that the sagacious animal
hesitated not to partake. He was taken TO 1oun-
tain but he would drink where but from the spot
where the water gushed free and fresh. This con-
tnued for several days until the MASTER touched by
the extraordinary intelligence of the poor creature,
resolved to make no more attempts upon him with
his poisons. The dog is now very gay and very hap
py but Will eat of nothing that he does not first
his master touch, nor will he drink except from the
purest spot Of the fountain.

The PREsIDTSTIAL ELEcTIoN--FuRTHKR ne
ruRNs-CHANcEs AGAINST Mr.. Clay INCREASING =
The political excitement is increasing every mo-
ment the returns are received from Pennsy lvana
and expected from Ohio and other States. We
have already given a number oil returns from
Pennsylvania, indicating the most extraordinary
detection which has taken place there in the wing
ranks, when we compare the elections of the pre-
sent year with that OF 1910, when General Harr.
the candidate. We have received additional
returns from that State, embracing nearly forty
counties, and their character presents the same
general features as the first returns exhibited The
chances are, and still continue to be in favor of
Mr. Folks obtaining the State of PENNSYLVANIA by
an increased majority over that of Mr.. Skunk, and
that Mr.. Clay has not the remotest chance in that
State, thereby indicating that if the same spirit
and sentiment pervade other States of the Union
and there is no reason that they should not-Mr
Polk will be elected next President. The reaction
that has been going for few years past in favor
OF the democratic party, now reaches such a point
as points very decsivey to the utter defeat of Mr.
Clay, the prostration of the wing party, and the
utter discontinue of all their hopes and expecta-
TONS
But an appeal to facts and history carries more
CoHsiCtioH " Tic Hiuu IMAM PROBABILITIES auu spec
ulation. We all remember the summer and fall of
lS4O; during the canvass Tor General Harrison,
when State after State came in previous TO the
nhai contest, all showing a necided increase-a
decided rising Of the tide in favor of Harrison
There was then no fear-no dependency on the
part OF the whigs-no fear of the popularity and
strength OF their candidate. From the very mo-
ment that General Harrison became the represen-
taiive OF the party, commenced that rising spirit in
the wing ranks which even in the State elections,
when contrasted with those of the previous year
showed great increase Of strength; and when the
first returns were received from Pennsylvania in
the great contest when General Harrison himself
was put directly before the people, every one raw
that ne run beyond his party, and that therewas not
at any period the slightest doubt to be entertained
OF his election by most triumphant majority
This presents a brief view OF the contest in l84O
How different the scene now presented In the re.
cent State elections throughout the country, in
stead ol rising tide for Mr.. Clay and the Wings,
every return from almost every part ofthe country
presented retiring tide-a diminishing majority
for the Whigs-and steadily increasing strength
in the Democratic ranks. We can illustrate this
view more distinctly by appeal to the official re-
turns in all those elections in several of the States
for Mr.. Clay and the Wings, and which, by the
recent returns, are shown to be anything but GER
tain-in fact, they are extremely doubtful, and the
chances are that they will 60 the other way. Here
is the table:-
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1844-11-05

Aggregate democratic gain in 81 counties, 1904
Here, in thirty-seven counties, is a reaction OF
1904 votes in favor of the Democratic party, as
compared with the election OF 1910, and the re-
turns which are yet to come to hand will most
probably only give still stronger manifestations OF
the working Of the same general movement which
has been in operation, sapping and mining the fouD
dation of all Mr. Clay's hopes, and UNFOLDING and
buoying up those of Mr. Polk. If we estimate the
effort of this movement in the other States, in the
same ratio as we have just presented in Penn
sylvania, we should have majority of from six to
eight thousand in favor Of Mr.. Polk in the several
States of Ohio, Maryland, and Georgia, and if we
extend that principle throughout the Union, we
should then be led to the conclusion that Mr.. Polk
will be elected by clear mujoriy of from &C, 900
to 100 00O almost equal to that OF Gen. Harrison in
1910.
Such are the only conclusions to which an impair
tial mind can come in philosophical and accurate
examination of the election returns of the various
years enumerat with those reccntlyreceived from
Pennsylvania. 1t seems, therefore, that during the
last six months, the tide has been running in favor
of Mr.. Polk, and receding the ratio against
Mr.. Clay. Had the Presidential election taken
place Immediately after the nominations at Ba-
more last spring, we think that Mr.. Clay would
have had by far the best chance Of election, and
so we said at the time. The Democratic party
was then broken up into fragments, by the unpopu-
larity Of Mr.. Van Buren,, who was then thrown
overheard, and who, if he had been run, would
have been undoubtedly defeated by Mr. Clay
But in the course Of the last six months, the div-
sons in the Democratic party have been healed
for the time-the fragments have coaesced-the
ciques have united, and the party presents itself in
an attitude Of unprecedented strength. As an ele-
meut of this strength, it is proper to remark that
probably two-thrds OF the youthful voters admitted
TO citizenship the last four years united
with the democracy, and the naturalized voters in
the same ratio. The causes which have produced
this extraordinary state Of things, are numerous
moral and potical-and will be investigated and
descanted upon when we have all the returns in,
and have ascertained the generalresut throughout
the Union. AT present the chances are decidedly
in favor of Mr. Folks election, and against that OF
Mr. CLAY.

misunderstanding OF inspectors OF Elec

As much has been said about the legality Of the
naturalization OF foreigners in the Marine Court Of
this city, and the supposed determination Of some
Of the inspectors to exclude the votes Of all who
bring papers from that court, il may not be unpro
ftabe TO call the attention Of the inspectors and
others to the law upon the subject.
In the first place, the Supreme Court has decided
such naturalization to be legal, which ought TO b,
sufficient guide for the inspectors, and certainly
would be, but for the great excitement which pre-
walls at this time.
In the next place, no Inspector has right to re
quire the production oil any papers whatever, from
any voter, whatever be his language. If a voter
be challenged, he has only to take the oath re.
CURED by law, and if the inspectors refuse to ad-
minister il, or 10 receive the vote after il is taken,
they are liable to an action at the suit of the party
aggrleved, and also to an indictment Tor INSIDE
meanor, in refusing to do their duty. The results
OF our elections cannot be made to depend upon
the will, ignorance or caprice Of the inspectors, az
they would if they were authorized to require sa.
tlsiactory papers qualification Of voters.
native born citizen may not know the English Ian
guage, and have all the appearance OF foreigner,
and yet he is not to be disfranchscd for want OF
papers. The only security the laws have provided
is, the oath of the voter and punishment for illegal
voting; and the inspectors cannot make law OF
their own for the occasion.
