THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

SO far the fight has been exceedingly nte-
resting and exciting, and will continue to be so
until the result in New York is learned, which
will "selle the hash" of one or The other OF
the parties.
Pennsylvania has done nobly and gwen
Polk from s to 10000 majority.
Ono did her best under the circumstances.
Some of the Democratic leaders having proved
treacherous 10 Colonel Polk, because he was for
the immediate annexation of Texas, and had
suppanted the "Iast of the Bourbons" in the
Convention, il was impossible for the rank and
file 10 carry The State without a suliiciency OF
honest leaders and faithful advisers. We shall
have something 10 say of certain "belilng
fund" in few days. We give up Ohio this
time-but the Republican party will carry it by
$4,000 majority in lSlS.
MARYLAND has gone, as usual; for Clay
Old Maryland has always been consistent In
her preference of Federal President-and du
ring the last 20 years, with one exception, the
candidates sue supported were always sure TO
be defeated,
VIRGINIA voted yesterday, and for Polk, we
knop because treason to the Republican party
dared not raise its head on The soil Of the Old
Dominion. Mr.. Richie was on the watch
and Mr. Roane had pledged 4" the Mother of

this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
traes the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather,

your Black Ink sufficiently long to ascertain that it
possesses all the desirable qualities which are neces-
sary in the employment of steel pens fully than
any kind of ink that had previously essayed, and
have got pretty well through the catalogue. have

Mr.. Joseph l. Hover: Sir: have examined and
used part of the specimens of ink which you left with
me, and am prepared to speak favorably of them
both. Since began to metallic pens, have
never been able to obtain ink which would not moro
or less corode, and speedily destroy them. Yours
appears to be free from every corrosive Ingredient
The marking ink possesses, in my opinion all the
qualities which are requisite to give to the article
very high character. Yours respectfully.
