How rapidly the real force and truth Of the open and
frank remark of Mr. Webster, that the nomination OF
Gen. Taylor as not fit to be made" has found its way
into the ranks of great portion Of the wing party
Though confession they at first disked and one that
has drawn its author under condemnation, it was,
nevertheless so honestly made that those who complain
of its severity compelled to admit its applicability
More recently the wings have been turning their eager
eyes towards Henry Clay in the hope Of having some
sort OF endorsement of Old lack from under his hand but
they have waited in vain On this point, the old polit
cal captain is full believer in the doctrine of 'maserly
inactivity" Not word comes from him to supporting
or justifyng the nomination. The purpo of all he says
is that he dissens from the of his own name in
nexon with the presidency Here he stops, and here he
will STOP as thousands Of his party have done all
the country.

NATIONAL OBSERVATORY,
Washington, Oct. o, lS4S.

To RIO and other traders:
The brig Oceanus, Capt. Sullivan, with the wind and
current charts on board sailed March 49, s4s from Bos
ton bound to Rio, where she arrived July after pas
sage of lit days.
It is known that Capt Sullivan set out with the in
tention OF taking the new route to the equator say
TO the EQUATOR for ut that time the Rio Sheet moi
published, and had given sailing directions as to 60
ing south from the equator further than to express the
opinion that vessels would find difficulty in weather
ing Cape St Rogue from the point where the route
requires them to cross the equator.
Had Capt s. been provided with the sailing directions
which have since been given for clearing St. Rogue,
(Which i was impossible for HIM 10 have,) and had he
followed them with much confidence he did those
for reaching the equator there is every for the
belief that his passage to Rio would have been less by
week or ten days than the usual average.
That this long passage may not serve to prejudice nav
igators against the route the charts have DEEM
ed it proper to make the following statement, based
the abstract of the voyage which Capt S. has been
kind to send me.
With admirable judgment he followed the chart as far
as WENT crossing the eqator the 18th of April
about 80 as w. the 31st day out, which gave him
passage far of ten days less than the average by the
usual route. His guide went further; and, after
crossing the line, he was left to his own judgment

We join the Washington correspondent OF the Boston
Patriot in profound regret for the death OF Henry M
Provost esq who beahed his last in this city on Tues
day morning, after protracted sickness We had not
the pleasure of being intimate with MIR p; but when
ever met with him, singularly struck by his
good sense liberal remarks, amabe manners, and gen.
temany bearing. He was connected with the reporting
department of this city, and satisfied that this
corps has lost of its most respectable associates and
society of its most worthy and upright members.
He left devoted wife and lovely little daughter to
mourn his DEATH.

ELECTIONS.
Pen sssylvaaaa.

The election in the good old Commonwealth OF Penn
syvana for governor members of Congress, and other
State and county officers took place Tuesday the 10th
instant Some returns were received in this city 10
o'clock last night but they still continue very imperfect
In comparing those we have received, upon which we
can rely with the result of the gubenatora election in
1874, when Francis r. Skunk elected by majority
of 1884, and of ls47 when he elected by major
rs Longstreth is elected Governor by small majority
This secures the State for Cass and Butler. beyond all
doubt-some with whom we have conversed, estimate it
by majority of at least 600 the It'll of November
1t is delicate well unpleasant duty to assign
for apparent decrease in the maortes of the
democratic party in contested election in any State no
matter how cogent and convincing such may be-
We know that the great national questions which will
operate upon the presidential vote not discussed

favor of the wing candidate for governor AT the pres
dental election of these factions will have cand
date of their own, and trust that CAss and BUTLER
will carry the State by triumphant majority. We never
give up the old and faithful Key Stone of democracy
until she shall place the seal upon her own destiny
II becomes duty to add that in bulletin which
received last evening" at quarter past o'clock, from
friend E. W. Hutter, of Lancaster, chairman of the
State Democratic Committee. he gives variety of re-
turns, and then says: SHOT all reliable. The result in
the State is close and doubtful" We would not advise
our friends to count too confidently carrying
the State this election, and venturng their money
wagers too freely.
The following are the reported returns as far as heard
from, compared with those of 1874:

Now submit to any navigator to say whether the

the line, and the passage of the is short of 81
days. which is 25 per cent less than the average passage

More ample materials collected since the chart was

sailing directions for this route. They will be ready for
publication in a few days. But vessels are daily de-
