Whole number Of Electors 900. Taylor's ma.
jority SO.
Thus it will be seen there is an equal
division of States, but most of the old and
large States going for Gen. Taylor, gives
him majority of 36 over Gen. Cass.-
Pennsylvania has truly been the "battle
ground" Without her vote, Gen. Taylor
would have had only 1877 electoral votes,
9 less than the number required to elect
him. With Pennsylvania, Gen. Cass would
have had 1853, just 7 more than necessary
to elect him. Of the old thirteen original
States all have gone for Gen. Taylor but
Virginia, New Hampshire and South Caro-
lima.

~ TAYLOR JUBILFE.-The friends OF
Gen. Taylor had quite a Jubilee at this
place, on Thursday last. A splendid en-
tertainment was got up for the occasion, at
the Hotel of Capt. Peter Lazarus. The
dinner table, we are informed, was bounti-
fully supplied with every luxury of the
season, got up in the most recherche style
Several speeches were made and number
of toasts drank with great cheer and good
spirits. To give eclat to the affair, the
cannon was frequently fired fromth River
bank and from the town hill.

AWAY WITH CENsUREs.

The Pennsylvania, in an article under
the above caption, advises democratic edi-
tors to abstain from all censures upon any
portion of the democratic party, in the
Union, and recommends concession and
Cancellation among all. This is certainly
seasonable and excellent advice. We are
glad that our friends of the Pennsylvania,
have had their eyes opened TO the truth,
with a determination to follow the pillar
of light, that has so suddenly broken upon
their vision. Experience, though severe,
generally proves an excellent teacher.

A DELICATE HINT.-The Secretary of the
Navy recently received letter, in lady's
handwriting, which enclosed the announce
ment, cut from newspaper, of the marriage
of young officer in the Navy, and a refer
ence to the twenty-fourh chapter of Deuter-
onomy and the fifth verse, which is as fol-
lows:
''When man hath taken a new wife, he
shall not go out to war, neither shall he be
charged with any business but he shall be
free at home one year, and shall cheer up his
wife which he hath taken"
Very delcately done. 1t is doubtful if the
Secretary can get over Scripture.

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.

The rumor that the United States We're
again negotiating for the annexation of Cuba
seems to give some of the London editors a
good deal of trouble. They say that the
British Government has no desire to possess
that valuable Island. The sons of Great
Britain are already scattered over forty-two
dependencies of the British Crown. Eng
land and America, they think, have both
as much territory as they can well take
care Of There is some truth in the above,
though pharisaically expressed. When
England once refuses so rich a jewel as
Cuba, we shall begin to think a moral revo-
luton is at hand.

quality and price, as also their different tastes
for which there is no accounting.

you earn give certain portion of your pro-
perty 10 the poor. Never get angry. If You
are slandered or imposed upon, better suffer
little, than to retaliate and use harsh lam
guage. Be not proud and selfish. Think no
more highly of yourself and your talents than
you do of the capacities of others. Pay all
you owe. Keep out of debt. Get not entan-
gled in the meshes of the law avoid it as
the sure gate to ruin. Shun vicious pursuits
and unprincipled associates, Honor the Sab
bath, serve God and be devoted TO truth and
religion. Finally, take some useful paper,
pay for it in advance, and read it attentively
and our word for ii, you will be happy. Peace
and contentment will smile in your path, Joy
dance on your countenance, and every lane
of life before you will be lraught with bles-
sings rich and abundant.

GENERAL TAYLoR's RECEPTION OF THE
News OF HIS ELEcTIoN.-The Baltimore Sun
has received despatch through the telegraph
from New Orleans, giving an account of Gen.
Taylor's reception of the news of his elec-
ton:
General Taylor was in Baton Rouge when
he heard the result of the election in Penn
sylvania, and enough from other States 10 de-
termine, without doubt, the fact that he had
been elected President of the United States.
He took the fact with perfect composure, ex-
hibting much GOODNESS and deliberation. He
known, on board steamboat, for his panta-
ton in Mississippi. While on the passage
he was accosted by stranger, a democrat,
who was not aware he was speaking TO the
President elect, and they commenced talking
politics, specializing about the election, the
merits of the candidates, &c. The stranger
told him that old Zack was good enough, but
he did not think him qualified for the high
office Of President. He also asked the Gene.
raj if he was Taylor man, to which he re-
Piled Not much of one, that he had not
voted for him on account of his family, and
more especially on account of his old lady
being somewhat opposed to Old Zack going
to Washington AT this juncture gentle
man stepped up, accosted the General and
called him by name. The stranger soon
smelt a raj, and after opening his eyes tolera-
bly, wide, walked off, considerably confused.
The Generals in good health, and looks un-
concerned as usual; taking things coolly and
deliberately"

any particular except the words tBank Of

natures of the President and Cashier, both of
which are exceedingly well executed. None
but those who are not familiar with the notes
of the bank could be imposed on by them,

The steamship Cambria reach her berth

Respecting the potato rot in Ireland, it was
reported the residue of the crop would be
saved, and turn out better than was anticipa.
ted. Indian corn, therefore, had moved off
slowly at lower prices. The duty on wheat
has now advanced to es per quintal, and that
on flour IS. It'd. per Dbl.
AS regards Scotland, the advices of bad
weather, and that the crops had not been
gathered in quite so well as was believed at
first have tended 10 strengthen the markets
on the other hand
The revival of the report that negotiations
and been opened at Madrid for the cession of
Island of Cuba TO the United States, has ma
turally excited the attention of the London
journals.
Wilmer & Smiths European Times doubts
the truth of the reports, and says if the peo-
pie and government of the United States be
as wise as ourselves, they will pause before
they think of adding Cuba to their already
vast unoccupied territories.
Ireland has now subsidized into state of or
dinary tranquility. Isolated outrages, as in
the best OF times, are pcrpetrated in many
parts of the county, and the contest between
the landlord and his starving tcnantry is still
waged with unrelenting bitterness but upon
the general surface of politics there is scarce
" rufile discernable.

Notice TO Subscribers.

This week we send out bills, to those ow-
ing for the Bugle. We do this not to amuse
them but as an urgent demand for what is
our due, and we hope that all will feel them
selves morally bound TO forward the amount
Of their indebtedness Immediately. If you
have not the money by you, borrow it and
send it by next mail, or hand it to the local
agent if there be one in your neighborhood.
The receipts Of the subscription list have,
by no means. heen sufficient to meet the en-
penses of publication. Prior to the first of
October last, this deficiency was supplied by
one individual who advanced d large sum
ont of his own pocket. He is now in imme-
date want of the money thus expended and
his only means Of repayment is from the mo-
ney due for the Bugle previous to that time.
Will you who receive bills forward i'm
mediately the money, as requested in theml
In some cases the bills include merely the
even sun due up to the LIST CT October but
generally they include a part of what has
since become due, and the amount mention
ed in a few of them, pays some weeks in
advance. This plan was adopted in order tC
make the sums such as can easily be sent by
mail.
If any should receive bills who have paid
they will please send US word Immediately
stating as nearly as they can the time OF TIL
payment and to whom it was made.
