Where Gen. Cass is best known.

Gen. Cass, the candidate of the democ-
racy at the late election, was born in New
Hampshire and emigrated to Ohio at an
early age. During the war of 1872 he
went to Michigan at the head Of regi-
ment of Ohio volunteers, and was appaint-
ed Governor of that territory, where, ex-
cept when absent on business of the United
States, he has since resided.
In these three States Gen. Cass was best
known, and the people Of New Hampshire,
Ohio and Michigan have nobly rebuked the
ISLANDERS upon their favorite son.
In New Hampshire, as we learn by the
Boston Post. Cass has gain Of ITO in &c
towns, and that his majority over Taylor
will be from twelve to fifteen thousand, and
his majority over Taylor and Van Buren,
combined, near 900.
ohio,-in 1s&sgavo whig majority Of
near 5000. IHl548, her democratic mn.
jority for Cass and Butler, will be between
fifteen and twenty thousand.
Michigan, in 1914, gave a democratic
majority of 1896. She now gives Gen.
Cass majority more than twice as large.
Thus did the states where Gen. Cas-
was best known, ,srcbuke his slanderers -

Extent Of the Oregon Territory.

On the East it skirts 800 miles along
the Rocky Mountains, on the South 800
miles along the Snowy mountains, on the
West 100 miles along the Pacific Ocean,
on the North $50 miles along the North
American possessions Of Russia and Eng
land This arena or immense valley con-
tains $4,000 square miles, capable un-
dou btedly Of forming seven States as large
as New York, Or forty States Of the dimon-
sions of Massachusetts. Some OF the Is
lands on the coast are very large, sufficient to
form state by themselves. They are sit
uated north of the parallel Of 4a. Vancou-
vre's Island, 260 miles in breadth, contains
Il, 900 square miles, an area larger than
Massachusetts and Connecticut. Queen
Charlotte's or rather Washington Island,
$50 miles in length and 80 in breadth, con-
tains 1000 square miles.
On both of these immense islands, though
they lie between the high parallels of DO
and so deg, the soil is said TO be we'll a.
dap,ed to agriculture. The straits and cir
cumiacent waters abound in fish Of the
fines, quality. Coal of good quality, and
veins Of other minerals have been found.

TeO Glaring a Fraud.

The las. Portsmouth Clipper contains
the Shertf's Proclamation calling Hew
election for Representative, in Scioto and
Lawrence counties, TO fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the resignation Of Joshua Ham,
bleton, The same paper announces the
same Joshua uambletonas a candidate 10
fill his own vacancy. t
The fraud is too thinly veiled to deceive
any body. AS Haniblrton, when he clalms
to have been elected, was Sheriff of Law
renee county, he was cons:ilu,ionally in
eligible both as candidate for the Legis-
lature and as a member, and he could not,
of course, resign an Office to which he
could not be elected. The FEDERAL party
after putting the district to the expense,
will only make fools Of themselves by hold
ing an election.-Ohio Statesman.

county, (Morrow) in October, was coun-
ted with Knox, Richland, Delaware and
Marion, from which it was taken, and the
large democratic majority which she gave
at the election, on the 7th, will be counted
as clear gain. This will, we think, In
crease the democratic majority to over

The Governor has issued writ for hold
ing special election, on Saturday, the 18th
inst, in the counties of Scioto and Law
renee, for the choice of member of the
General Assembly from the district conpos-
ed of those counties, to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the resignation of Joshua Ham
bleton who was chosen at the late election,
but was Ineligible to the office by reason Of
his..holding the Office of Sheriff of Lawrence
county at the time of the election.-O. s.
Jcasrnal, Of the 9th.
When we saw, says the Statesman, the
announcement in the Cincinnati papers, that
Gov. Bebb had issued writ as above sta
ted, we supposed OF course the Editors there
had been hoaxed. We did not suppose any
man that ever aspired to the Office of Gov
ernor, could make himself such an unmit-
igated jackass as to issue such a writ
When man has sense enough to be a
k,aaue, he may excite our abhorrence, but
when fool for the want Of sense, he is an
object of pity Is there any man in that
district silly enough to spend his time and
money in first being candidate, and sec
ondly, coming up here to be laughed at, and
then to 60 home, having made "a perpetual
record of his and the Governors folly.
The Constitution of the State, Art. l, Sec.
26, says:
"Sec. 26. No Judge Of any court of law
or equity, secretary ofState, attorney gen.
eral, register, clerk Of any court OF record,
sheriff or collector, member of either house
of Congress, or person holding any office
under the authority of the United States, or
any lucrative office under the authority of
this State, (provided that appointments in
the militia or justices of the peace, shall not
be considered lucrative ofices,) shall be
ELIGIBLE as 4 CANDIDATE FOR,
or hare q seat an the General assembly,"
The person, who claims to have resigned
his seat, was sheriff of Meigs county at the
time of the election, and hence was ineligl-
BILE even as a candidate. The fact that he
held that office was known and admitted,
and for Mr.. Hambeton to resign an office,
for which he could not, under the Constitu-
ton, be a candidate, borders good deal
on the ridiculous, and for Gov. Bebb, him
self lawyer, to issue writ for new e.
lection, caps the climax of that folly which
has made his excellency, like the men de-
scribed by Hudibras, who

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?-Taylor's in.
crease over Johnson's vote at the October
election, in the city and county Of Philadel.
phia, is 5,269 votes, or 20 per cent in 90
days! This is more surprising than the in
crease for Taylor here in 27 days of 1850.
1t should be remembered that the Cass vote
also increased in natural ratio in both
cities; so that this extraordinary poll can
not be accounted for by saying Democrats
voted for Taylor.-BaH. Rep.
OFThat un immense number offraudu-
lent votes were cast by the wings in Phila-
delphia, we think admits of no doubt what
ever. A single fact will illustrate the
truth of this. A friend Of ours, mer-
chrnt in this city, happened to be in Phila-
dolphin, on the day OF election, on business.
He informs US that he was waited upon by
various merchants and whig leaders, and
requested TO go to the polls,pledging them
selves that they would see that his vote
was taken. 81 arm not resident of your
city, gentlemen, and have no right to vote
here" said our friend. ooh, that is no
difference; you have been in the city ten
days, and we will vouch for you Hun
dreds ofRrangers in the city, in your situ-
alton, have voted the whig ticket to-day,
and there was no dispute raised.'' "Well,
gentlemen, if felt inclined to vote at all,
| should certainly vote for Cass and But
