ELECTION RETURNs-IMPoRTANcE OF THE MAG
NETIc TELEeRArH.-Being determined to sustain
the character which this journal has established,
the first to obtain and publish official and cor
rect returns of elections, we made arrangements
to give readers full returns of the last election
in this city, well in the State as far West as
Buffalo, and the result is before them.
In our regular edition of yesterday, we published
the official returns from every ward in the city,
except two and we would have obtained them
but that causes over which we had no control,
intervened to prevent u.s. AS it was, however.
our paper contained the fullest and most accurate
returns in the city
In obtaining the returns from the Western part
of the State we we've, OF course, aided by the
magnetic telegraph, and here we have strong
evidence of the tremendous importance of that
mighty agent. 1t will hardly be credited when
we state, that we received the returns from Buffa-
lo-some five hundred miles distant from New
York-before we got the returns of single ward
In this city. In former years we could not get the
same returns under forty-eight hours, and it
would require the greatest ex pedition to do that;
but now, the canvass in Buffalo, or any Of the in
termediate cities and towns, can be made known
to us in a few minutes
The mighty revolution that this mighty power
is quietly but rapidly creating, will be greater
than that accomplished by steam, and there is no
doubt that if this means OF communication be
extended in the same proportion as it has
been for the last eighteen months, that we
will be enabled to give the result of the Pre-
sidential election of 1852 during the evening Of
the day of election; for our readers are aware,
that hereafter the Presidential election will be
held on one and the same day throughout the
Union. What revolution will not that be =? If
a'man now a-days slumbered like old Rip Van
Wrinkle, for a year, he would, on his waking up,
perceive more changes than that respectable old
Dutchman beheld, after his repose of twenty on
the banks of the Hudson.
MEXICAN PATRIOTISM Paroles, late
President Of the republic of Mexico, man who,
as was said, through zeal for the honor of his
country deposed Herrera, and made war on the
United States, has, we understand, lately Quilted
Mexico for England, taking with him an immense
sum of money in specie. On his route, he
stopped at Havana and Bermuda. We believe
he has brother residing insEngland, whom it Isl
probably. his purpose to join. All the accounts
we have seen, agree in stating that he has taken
out with him what will serve to cheer his exile.
He intends to invest the large sum he takes with
him in English bonds.
The question arises, how did he acquire this
wealth? He has always been represented as
very poor, and as being an extremely pure
and dsinterested patriot. 1t was told to
his credit, that he refused extra pay while
in office, and that his sole view was to vindcate
the honor of his country. We ask again, how
has he acquired this immense sum of money !
We should be sorry to imagine the President of
Mexico guilty of peculation while in office; but
how shall we account for his sudden acquisition
of wealth And supposing that it were acquired
by the most honorable means, might he not show
his patriotism better than by taking such sum
out of his country at the hour OF her greatest need
and investing it in English bonds Alas for
Mexican patrietsm. 1t is, we fear, at as low an
ebb as female virtue on the Five Points.
The fact is, that this circumstance proves con-
clusivey what we have all along maintained,
that Mexico has been kicked about like foot
ball, by her military despots, who use her for
their own pleasure and convenience, regardless
of the injuries they entail upon her. Paroles is
no better and no worse than the rest. He has
but followed the example of his predecessors,
and he now retires from the scene of turmoil and
confusion that regns in his country, to enjoy the
riches he has boarded. Doubtless the other pre-
tended patriots, who are so eager to expend the
best blood of Mexico in a bootIess struggle with
the United States, would do the same if they had
ano nifty.
