THE ELECTION.

The "long agony is over" The battle is los
and won." But who has lost and who won. we
as yet, know not. We have. however, an abiding
confidence in the honesty and integrity of the peo-
pie We believe 1t is the design and aim Of the
great body Of the people to do that which they be-
lieve to be right Thereare times, however, when
they may be led astray by designing demagogues.
Thehistory of past Republics should teach us
warning lesson. and learn us to steer clear of the
rock upon which they split.
Should Henry Clay be elected President of the
United States, we believe there viii be fastened
upon the people of this country set Of measures,
which are, in their very nature, calculated TO make
the rich richer. and the poor pOor1-to favor a
privileged few--and to build up in this country a
moncyed aristocracy. Believing such to be the
tendency of wing measures, we could not, without
acting the part ofthe vilest hypocrte, support such
measures and such party. On the other hand, in
the event of the election of James X. Polk, we be-
lieve that system of legislation will be pursued
which will dispense equal and exact justice to all.
There will be no privileged orders-no moneyed
monopolies-no protection of the rich at the ex-
pense of the poor.
A celebrated American jurist says: "Republics
are created by the virtue, public SPIRIT and intelli-
gence of the citizens. They fall, Shen the wise
are banished from the public councils, because they
dare TO be honest, and the pr9figate rewarded,
because they fatter the people in order to b'tray
them" Is such to be the result of the late cleo
tions! Are the wise and virtuous to be banished
from our public councils, and the profigafe re-
warded! Such we believe would be the result if
Henry Clay be elected President of this Republic.
What incentive would the leading politicians of
the present day have to pursue moral course of
hfel With what kind OF face could parent re-
prove child for crime, who has cast his vote for
Henry Clry' Yet preachers and members have
done it, In Imagination we see such father re-
proving his son for profanity-the child nnocently
replies, "Father, want to be great man, like Mr..
Clay, and be President ofthe United States" We
see that father turn away in shame and confusion
Whatever may be the result of the contest, we
can live on, even should we exc out, under whig
legislation, as wretched an existence as does the
poor laborer Of Europe.

AvERsloNs OF GREAT MEN.--The
greatest and cleverest men have lheiI
weakness. Peter the Great could not
touch lizaId; MAJ shal SAKE almos
swooned il Il cat came too near him;
and it is well known that King Gusta.
vus Adulphus had Il particular antipa-
thy to spiders. Charles John Berna-
dotte is said to have felt an invicible re-
pugnance to dogs, partly arising from
The circumstance that a friend of lis
died from the bite of a mad dog, AMI
partly from his having seen on the field
of battle, the corpse of another friend
torn in pieces by dogs, among which
was the deceased officers own dog.
Whether this is true or not, | canno,
tell; but the Kings aversion to dogs
was we'll known at the court. The
Crown Prince had a very beautiful
hound, which had been trained, as soon
as the King was seen at distance, OF
whenever he heard the words, "the
King is coming" to run away; or, if
this was not possible, to hide himself
under the furniture, where he lay quiet
while the King remained in the room.

COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Edfor: noticed the announcement of the
death of DR.. ALEXANDER w. HUMPHREYS,
of Carlisle, In ones of the September numbers of
your paper. Feeling myself nearly allied to him
as one of his most intimate friends, deem It due
to his numerous acqualntances to pay this tribute
Of respect to his memory. He was native of
Greenbrier county, Virginia. The last four years
of his life were spent in the study and practice of
medicine. Having been intimately acquainted
with him, can say that never knew more
ardent devotee to his profession He was particu-
larly characterised for his untirng industry, and
doubt whether his superior for his age) for medi-
cal requirements, could be found in the county
where he resided. By bis death the profession has
lost one OF its devoted friends, the community
good citizen, and the Church on acceptable mem-
Der. He was an ardent and devoted member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and gave evil
dence of his attachment to Christianity by his
daily walk. He bore his last illness, which was
extremely severe, with that fortitude and calmness
which is particularly Characteristic of the Chris
tian. A short time previous to his death, some of
his friends surrounded his bed to sing and pray
with him for the last time He joined h. singing,
and was frequently heard to warmly respond
''amen," giving his assent to their prayers He
has left an affectionate and devoted companion to
mourn his departure. His warm and ardent feel
ings as husband made him to her douby endear-
ing. Truly may she say:
"Our sweetest hopes here vanish all,
And fade like hues at even,
Our brightest hopes like meteors fall
There are no tears in heaven"
He died of Heptetis, complicated with low
grade of Eryspelatous fever. He has gone TO
that bourne from whence no traveller returns.-
May his virtues be initiated by all who feel his loss
"What though Affections be our lot,
Our hearts with anguish riyen;
Still, lei it never be forgot,
There are no tears in heaven.
"The mourner sad, who, drowned in grief,
Hath long in sorrow striven.
Shall lind at last, a sweet relief,
Tears wiped away in heaven.
"Thou, God, our joy and rest shall be,
And sorrow far be driven;
And sin aud death forever flee,
There are no tears in heaven
"There, from the blooming tree of life
The healing fruit is gwen;
There, there shall cease the painful strife,
There are 20 tears in heaven"

ONE THING is CERTAIN.

That Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cher
ry is far the best remedy now used for
all distressing coughs, and diseases OF
the lungs. The cures being performed
are really astonishing the world. DR..
Wistar's celebrated preparation is Who'll
ly an innocent remedy--being compos-
ed principally of the Wild Cherry, and
extract of Pine, combined by a new
chemical process, with the genuine
Iceland Moss, another of Natures
great curatives for pulmonary diseases.
AT this season Of the year, when the
chill winds and cold rains Of Autumn
succeed the warm days of Summer, it
is incumbent on all to look we'll to their
health. A little negligence now may
reduce the system to that state, that
months of the best medical treatment
will fail in the restoration of former
health.
Colds, dangerous colds, which this
bleak season begets, will always claim,
OF the wise and prudent, immediate at.
tentl0n.
For the cure of coughs, colds, astha-
ma, and all diseases connected with the
respiratory organs, many valuable rem
edies are for sale and stand high in
public estimation; but first and FORE
most in the rank is the widely known
and every where esteemed, Wistars
Balsam of Wild Cherry. By careful
computation by those conversant with
the history and progress Of this most
remarkable medicine, (called by many
"Nature's own remedy'O it is coui-

fected during the past year.

Our majority in this county is not quite as large

forts the wings were making until the day of the
election, when we saw that our majority would
fall short of our calculation. We could tell Of
fraud, bribery and of ppe-laying in this county,

BURNING OF THE PROVIDENCE THEA
TRE.--A slip from the office ofthe Pro-

says:
"a fire was discovered yesterday
morning. about one o'clock in the thea
tire; and before the alarm could be gen.
orally given, and the firemen brought
on the ground, the flames had made
such progress amongst the combusibe
materials of the interior, that il soon
burst through the roof, with awful gran
deur. and in short time cons m:d ev-
erything bat its massive stone walls.
DIR. Lardner had, during the preceding
evening, delivered the last of his course
OF scie- &c 'ectures; and his most val
liable apparatus. inclucing the splendid
planetarium, invented and made by
Russe, was destroyed by the devouring
element. The Doctors loss, We learn,
is about 100000; no insurance. The
planetarlum was owned by two young
men, and was estimated at $4,000,
on which was an insuranc, of $4,000
