The result ofthe P Pennsylvania election
lis still The subject of much speculation.
The Wings look upon it as an. evidence Of
complete and permanent political revo-
luton while the democrats regard il as a
temporary and unimportant reverse, which
will not effect their future ascendancy iu
the State. -@...s,.. "
The discontentment Of Pennsylvania
with The new Tariff. is alleged by the
democrats to be th e cause of their defeat
aud that cause will not, in their opinion,
have an influence. after the new system
shall have been tried. ,...5
But this view is unsatisfactory, because
the Penusylvaniaus being nearlyT Tariff
men, could. nave elected their Tariff dem
gcrats, as well as Tariff wings. They
chose TO elect the latter, aud j; is an evi.
dence that they seek change of men, as
wei as of measures-a change Of party
ralers. Resentment al the deception prac.
ticed upon them by their party leaders. ID
regard 10 the policy OF Mr.. Polk on the Ia.
riff, is now supposed, by many, TO be the
cause of this revolution; if indeed it be q
revolutions. 1t has nothing TO do with the
actual Influence Eof the new Tariff. The
products of Pennsylvania ace, at this time,
higher ia prices than ever--.parlicularly

The Pennsylvania Delegation 10 the 30lh

election will fail before The people; par

Mr.. Secretary Walker has determined
to issue Immediately several millions, in
Treasury notes, bearing five per cent. iu-
terest. He can thus, as he supposes, get
along without loan, aud without the aid
ofthe banks. 1t is probable that the sche me
will succeed 10 some extent, and for a
short tIme-that is, till Congress devise
some ssylem Of finance adapted to The ex.
isencies Of a prolonged and expensive for

TriaI3f siaoc for murdcr.-On Monday
last. at Magistrates Court, which was held
in this place, Clarssa, negro woman. the
property Of Mr.. Philip Brogden, Of this Dis
lrict, was put upon her trial, for the murder of
her three children. This is the same negro
woman of whom we gave notice snort time
since. She was ably defended by Joseph Al
ney, Esq., who generously volunteered his SER
vices in her behalf, as her owner wus poor
man. The proof against her. was altogether
circumstantial, and her character was that Of
gond servant. Several respectable witnesses
believed in the unsoundness Of her mind. For
this belief, they gave satisfactory reasons. The
jury, after short deliberation, brought in
verdict Of acquittal.
On this OCCASION, rs well as on Others, we
were forcibly impressed with the obligation
which rests on the overs of slaves, of retain.
ingc ompelent legal gentlemen in their defence
when they are arrusned for serious offences.
BY pursuing this course, fair trial will always
be obtained, and justice ITSELF will generally be
meted out to all parties. We suggest also, to
masters Of slaves arragned lorcapilal offences
10 have them brought to The C. H.. il possible,
for trial, in order that the accused should hive
oil the assistance which legal gentlemen afford
them. We make these remarks, in no unfriend-
ly spirit to the Magistracy ,hrous hout the Dis.
trict. but from our desire 10 see the criminal
law in the cases Of slaves strictly observed.

of people were assembled in Mayo, exceeding, we

assembled on the green, where a meeting was
held. The assembage Of such vast number OF
people, declaring themselves the brink OF star
walton, was truly deplorabe "a fact, the truth Of
which we see no good reason to doubt, and VIC
therefore feel compelled TO call on the government
to stop forward at once with immediate instant
