Tennessee.

The official returns give Tennessee to
Mr.. Clay BY majority Of lib. The
whole vote Of the State is lis, 9,S47, being
a gain Of IL ,267 on the vote Of l840, when
the whig majority was l2,i02. The
democracy Of the Union, as matter Of
course, would have been highly gratiied
had their President been chosen with the
aid Of Tennessee; but as it is they have
ample reason to rejoice. Ever since the
detection of Judge White Tennessee has
been one of the most thorough and out and
out whig States in the Union; and 1t is
high compliment to the worth and person
al popularity Of Mr.. Polk, that with q
clear whig majority Of ~, 600 against him,
he has come within ll3 votes Of carrying
the State.

pork..Prices m Cincinnati.

.Pork.-Prices An Cincinnati.
In the Cincinnati Gazette Of the 2lst
ult. we find the following in relation to
the prices paid by the packers Of that city
the present season for Pork. We publish
Il for the mutual benefit and information Of
buyers and sellers:
Hoos.-The .sopening price" this year,
as in other years, has been matter OF con-
siderable interest and speculation, notwith-
standing the fact, which almost every year
shows, that the "opening price, has very
little influence upon the prevailing rates Of
the season. Up to Saturday afternoon,
about $4,000 had been killed at three or
four Of the yards. and packed st thirteen
Of our houses. This may be called ? com
sssnceHest, and It has been made ct the fol-
lowing prices: viz. 81 30, 2 60, 2 81,
2 65, 2 6S, 2 20, 2 70, and for one small
lot averaging 2l5 lbs. $S. We have since
noticed several sales at 2 % for light
Hogs and 2 76 for hsavy. One lot o.
medium weight, which was held q 70
! on Saturday, was offered on Tuesday 4
3 62. A hne drove from Kentucky, num-
bering 200 head, and averaging 24O e
$50 i6s. passed through the city to one d
the yards yesterday. For this - 75w
paid. Sales Of four other lots, amounting
to about 100 head, On Monday and Tues
day, at 81 so, 3 65, 2 20, and 2 76.
Also, several lots amounting in al to abou!

suits Of honorable industry, and who will
seek in the purlieus q political intrigue
and agitation the means Of living. We
see, indeed, already, how this class begins
to disturb the political waters. But they
cannot succeed, for some years to come, in
rendering them as turbid as of late. All
good citizens will quietly submit to the
result Of the recent conflict, and coolly
look on, whilst the various Gg-ends o
factions are quarrelling and squabbling
ale laughs who wins" The discreet
citizen who attends 10 his business, and
lays in industry and perseverance, the solid
foundations Of enduring prosperity and am.
pie fortune, can well afford to be amused
with the scenes in the political arena; bu
he viii take very good care to keep out o
it himself. f.-.Nw York Herald

Mr.. John Beal, Of New Harmony, la.
has made, this year, 395 lbs. Of sugar from
the stalks on three-fourths Of an acre. BY
his description Of the process, it would
seem that the farmer cannot have his corn
and sugar too from the same stalk. When
the ears begin to form they are pulled of.
When the leaves are dead about half way
up the stalk is stripped Of leaves. cut up
at the root, the top cut of, and then ground
in sugar mill. Twenty stalks will yield
about one pound and half, and Of this
three-iourth is ground sugar. Mr.. b
made so lbs. in day, with simple ap-
paratus Of his own construction.

Delaware Electoral Vote.

Delaware Electoral Vote.
The vote Of the "Breeches pocket State, .
it would seem, is likely to be lost to Mr..
Clay, in consequence Of some informality
Of conduct on the part Of the Inspectors
The law requires ''that the inspectors Of
the several hundreds in each county shall
meet on the day next following the day Of
holding an election for President and Vice
President" SC. The meeting did not take
place ON the day as required by law; "and
consequently" says the Delaware Gazette,
s1he three electoral votes Of Delaware can
not be given to Clay and Frelinghuuysen." "
This will be regretted. Mr.. Clay's col
umn Of votes is already sufficiently lean,
without diminishing It by striking Delaware
out.

tits known to the public that Tor the last
three or four weeks the columns Of the
Hawkeye newspaper Of this place have
teemed with scurrilous paragraphs directed
towards myself, some Of which have been
noticed by me in my editorial capacity, and
some overlooked. Occupying the position

personal attacks, and did not complain, SO
long as my character for honor and integ-
rity Was permitted to 60 unassailed. In

licity was given to an article 50 grossly as
persing me by insinuation as to remove all
doubt as to the object Of my assailant. !
was accused, indirectly, in that article, d
being public plunduv- accusation,
which, if true, should and would render
me infamous in the sight Of al honorable
men. In the indignation inspired by 50
base q charge, superadded to that which
could not fail to result from the admitted
fact that the person making it has been bu,
about three months in the Territory, ant
consequently can know nothing Of me, ! re.
piled in the last Gazette. For the char
acter Of that reply, ! now, in my cooler
moments, crave the pardon Of the readers
of my paper. l am free to admit that i
was coarse, and even disrespectful to my
warm and generous supporters. But for thu
assassin who has attempted to cast q shad,
ofsuspicion upon that which l hold dearel
than life-reputation-I have no apology
He cannot place more offensive construc'

objections to the Constitutions.

Objections to the Constitutions.
The Bloomington Herald opposes the
adoption Of the constitution, ssconceiving
that democratic principles have been de-
parted from in its formation" Were it pos
sible for US to look upon that instrument in
the light in which it is regarded by the
Herald, we should certainly adopt course
similar to the one pursued by that paper;
but viewing it otherwise, we find our
selves reluctantly placed in opposition to
a journal with which it has heretofore
been our pleasure and good fortune, on
most questions Of public policy, to co-ope-
rate. The Herald promises to show
wherein such departure from the DEM
ocratic landmarks consists. and in COM
mon with the friends Of the constitution
generally, we shall await the ful6lment Of
this promise with no little interest. Free
quent and careful examinations and COM
PARSONS have brought us to the conclusion
that it is by far the most ultra democratic
constitution in the Union; but il, as would
seem to be the fact, aristocratic provisions
are incorporated into it which have escaped
our notice, the Herald will of course state
them. The only clause in the instru-
ment which suggests itself to us now as
one to which the objection Of the Herald
would even slightly apply is the veto
power given to the Executive; yet if we
have read the columns Of that paper cor
rectly it approves Of that power as heartily
as we do.
We agree with our Bloomington cotem-
porary in saying, that the fact that the con-
stitution is the offspring Of democratic
body is no reason why it should be voted
for by democrats; and it is with surprise
and regret we learn that any are 80 indis-
Greet and narrow-sighted as to urge its
ratification upon such ground. The con-
stitution should be adopted or rejected ex-
clusively with an eye to its merits and de.
merits, and utterly irrespective Of the
character Of the body from whence it en-
anated. Its true and best friends desire
that it may be thus judged of by the peo-
pie, at the same time entertaining no fears
for the result Of the effort being made by
the whig press Of the Territory to rally q
party vote against its adoption. That ef-
fort, it is apparent now, will prove signal
failure. The constitution will be support
ed by very considerable portion Of the
wings, and the prospect is that it will be
ratified by not less than two-thirds Of the
voters ofthe Territory. 1t possesses grea'
elements Of popularity, in which all minor
objections, it is easily foreseen, are des'
tined to be swallowed up.

The election is over. The gamblers
who have lost, are regretting their folly;
and the winners are spending their iniqui-

turn to their usual avocations.
We do trust that the community will
return with increased energy and industry
to their varied occupations-that every

of morality-to Intellectual culture-to the
prosecution Of all honorable enterprize-
and that the nation will at once enter into
a new career Of glory and prosperity.
