An election for members of Assembly and
Canal Commissioner, was held on the l4sh
inst. The result has been glorious one Tor
Democracy The Canal Commissioner has
been elected by between twenty-five and thir-
ty thousand majority. In the city of Phila-
delphia, Swift, wing, has been elected Mayor
by majority Of about 400 over the Natives
and about 1000 over the Democratic candl-
date. Welsarn from the Philadelphia papers
that good many Democrats voted for Swift,
Wing. thinking that their SO doing was the
only way to defeat Keyser, the Native candi-
date. In the county of Philadelphia, Democ-
racy has been completely triumphant, return
ing Senator and eight Representatives, in
stead of all natives last year. The Senate of
Pennsylvania is composed of 33 members,
one-t third of whom have been elected this year.
It will stand l5 democrats to Is whigs-dem-
ocratic majority,3. The House consists of
LOO members, 60 of whom will be democrats,
OF democratic majority of 26-last year, on-
| ly A.. This result is glorious in every light.
1t has put complete extingulsher on the
hopes and wishes of the natives. 1t has lite
rally annihilated that mongrel bigoted party.
They have failed to elect single representa-
tive. But it is chiefly glorious in that it ex-
hibits the confidence which this great State
has in the present administration, And we
think that it augurs well for the support which
Pennsylvania will give Mr.. Polk in carrying
out the principles of the Baltimore resolutions.
No one now doubts, but that Mr.. Polk, with
the advice of his Cabinet, too, intends recon-
mending to the next Congress, the reduction
of the Tariff to revenue standard; and this
gallant victory, which the Democracy of the
keystone State has achieved over Federalism,
we take it is good evidence that she will sup
port him in carrying out his views on this
subject.

A great democratic meeting held at Calves

Magnetic 1slegraph.-One Of the uses to
which it is proposed to apply the Magnetic
Telegraph is, that through it information can
be conveyed from one portion of tbs Union to
another of approaching storms, 1t can be
ascertained what direction the storm is about
to take, and then the Telegraph is put in ope-
ration to warn the region of country over
which it is about to travel, of its intended vi
sit. So that ere long, we wouldn't be sur
prlsed to see farmers, specially in fodder pull

to think that the democratic majority will not
be so large as was anticipated, owing to spe-

Prospect OF the Cotton Planters

The late advices from Europe shew that
Cotton is dull, nevertheless, we cannot but
think that the prospect Of the Cotton planter
is good for getting fair remuneration for his
labor, during the coming year; at least, we
think prices will improve. 1t is now demon
strated by actual experiment, that England
cannot derive any of her supplies of this ma
terial, from India. She has expended millions
of dollars in the vain attempt to force its pro-
duction in her own possessions, but has failed.
The quantity which she gets from Egypt is
comparatively nothing. To the United States,
especially, since the annexation of Texas,
must she, as we'll as all Europe, look for sup.
plies of this great staple. And when we take
into consideration, the vast increase which il
daily making in the consumption of Cotton
how extensively, beyond what was hitherto
dreamt of, ish.ics constructed sin part or il
WHOLE" of this material, are becoming tn.
garments of the civilized world-we canno
but think that the demand for the raw mate
rial will even more than keep pace with it
increased production. Indeed, articles made
from the contents of our cotton bowls, are des
tined to form the clothing of the civilizet
world. When we reflect that, within tn
confines Of our own territory, cotton must, 70
ages to come, be produced, we think the fu
ture prospects of the Southern States are brigh
, indeed. Without the products of our corto
fields, England could not get along for sin
gle twelvemonth. She must have them. Th
same is. in some degree, applicable to Franc
and the German States. We hold in our ow
/ hands, the control of the greatest source c
commercial greatness of the most prosperou
nations in Europe.

COunty Meetings.

The time is rapidly approaching when We
will again be called upon to select candidate
for the first Office in the State. In the num-
Der before last of the Journal, we gave our
views at some length. on the subject of a State
Convention. We then gave it as our opin-
ion, that it is the only and best mode of deter
mining, satisfactorily, who the Democrats of
North Carolina would cordially concentrate
their strength upon, in the coming campaign.
In these views, we are glad to see that the
Democratic presses of North Carolina concur.
We then suggested some day early in Febru-
~, as suitable time for holding the Conven-
ton. We have been since confirmed by re-
Election, that this will be as soon as it will be
at all practicable. In this view, we would
urge upon the people of this district, the pro-
pIiety of holding their county meetings at the
earliest moment. Some day certain in Feb
ruary, must be fixed upon for holding the
State Convention. We would take the Iber-
ty of suggesting the TwENrY-sEcoND-a day
dear to US all, and one we'll calculated to a.
rouse the enthusiasm of freemen. This, as
we have said before, is, we think, as early a
period, as can. with propriety, be fixed upon.
We would therefore earnestly urge upon our
friends in the surrounding counties, to hold
their meetingsas soon as possible. Let US be
up and doing. North Carolina is thoroughly
Democratic, and it only requires US to do OUT
duty between this and August next, in ordel
to demonstrate this fact to the world. Her
own son now presides over the destinies Of
the Union, with an ability which has already
gained for him the respect Of his opponents
and the love and increased confidence of his
friends. The great principles of right anc
justice, upon which the present administlatio
is acting, are better understood by the people
| of North Carolina, than at any anterior peri
cd. The minds of the people are more tho
roughly aroused to sense of their own inter
ests and rights, than they have ever been be
fore. Federal knavery and chicanery can NJ
longer enthrall the good sense of forth Caro-
linians. The spell is broken. Let US, then
as Democrats. do our duty. Let as enter int
the contest with that enthusiasm and conf
dence which the justice and truth of our caus
are so we'll calculated to inspire. Let US wor
like men, and triumph, the mos: brillian
and decisive, will be the glorious consequence
To ensure this, concert and promptness of &C
ton are necessary. We call then, respectful
ly, but earnestly. upon our friends, to hol
their county meetings forthwith. Let tn
meetings be full, and let them speak out thei
sentiments boldly, on this important subject

Under this heading, appears a most wratby
rantancorous reply to our article Of last week,
on ''the packet line" We really cannot see
any good cause for the writer's working him
self into such passion. We were charged
with "wrong spirit" in the Chronicle Of the
18th inst. Now this charge being utterly un-
founded, we thought it ouI right and our duty
to repel It. This, We did, In as small bounds
as we could. The ''individual," in reply,
does not pretend to contradict our facts, but
merely abuses us little, always the resort of
those who have nothing to say to the point.
But we are in good humor, and don't mind
the rutfled feathers of the ''individual." As
to the ''insinuation," we would merely say
that the ''individual'' has shewn quitea praise
worthy adroitness in its application. We do
not feel any disposition to get into quarrel,
and would therefore request the individual
to shew Us where we were wrong in our facts
or differences, from facts, if he can; until then,
we must quit the subject.

FOR THE SENTINEL

Mr.. ED1ToR:--It would seem, from recent
publications in the Sentinel, that there are gen
tlemen in our county eminently skilled in esti-
mating, laying out, and dividing land. Sever
al of your readers have in consequence become
anxious to have the following problem accot-
rateiy determined. Cases of this kind frequent
ly present themselves to the practical mathe-
matician; and every lover of science must feel
interested in anything which may prove 50 ex-
lensively useful.
A friend of mine, the mean value of whose
! land is $50 per acre, would divide it into equal
value among his six sons, assuming difference
of $500 per acre between their respective
shares, on account Of Improvements and variety
of SOIL This tract is bounded partly by straight,
and partly by curved lines concave with re-
spect to the interior of the land. Ills dwelling

of paling, of "a. 81 four pole chains. A B is a
straight line, IS chains, b "a curve along
the bank of river, TT 40 chains, D a
straight line, 6S chains and another circular
arc of paling, 80. Sd chains, extends from d to
the house. 1t is also known that straightlines
joining B G and A d are 400 and 81 chains;
respectively. My friend requires all the di-
vision lines to run from his door to the river,
and wishes to Know the whole quantity of his
land, each sons share, and the lenghth of each
division line. N. M.

Education, Frst.-Some of our CO.
temporarles seem to be at loss whether
they should espouse the cause of Edu-
cation or that Of Internal Improvements
whether the latter or the former shall
be their "great idea.' Others are sad
ly perplexed in determining whether
they will devote themselves more to
the cause of Education than to the sub
ject of calling a Convention to amend
the Constitution of the State. And a
few of our "sors of thnnder,n have an
iron in the fire for each of these three
great questions, and the way they
make the sparks fly around them would
make old Vulcan himself blush. We
should like to see snch Improvements
made as the prosperity Of The State i'm
perioaay demands, and should like to
see Conyention-we desire tive
go for it, strongly-but re % for the
cause Of Education frs'. |. is hardly

sion, to deliberate upon, discuss, and
