ELECTION
RETURNS OF NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Held October 9, 1S49.

e'u Ottooef o, 1917 a
We give below the official returns of
this county. The whole democratic ticket,
it will be seen have been successful. The
majority for john A. GAMBLE, for Canal
Commissioner, is 763. The democracy of
the county, in achieving this victory, with
the small turn out, have just cause for re-
ioicing. 1t exceeds the majority of last
fall, when the party had the benefit Of a
larger turn out, 159 votes. If all other
counties have done as well in proportion to
the vote polled, Mr.. Gamble will be elected
by fifteen or twenty thousand. JOHN
b. PACKER, Esq, our candidate for Assem-
bly,, has received the largest vote in the
county, having no opposition. He is a
young man of fine abilities, and will repre-
sent us in creditable manner. John P.
Pursel, for Register and Recorder, and
George B. Youngman, for Treasurer, who
had volunteer candidates in opposition to
them, were run more closely than any
other portion of the ticket. Mr.. Wilson,
for Commissioner, has a handsome majority.
VIM. Cook, for Auditor had no opposition.
He will make an excellent officer.

PENNSYLVANIA AND PROTECTION.

The Pittsburg Morning Mercury, of the
4th inst, contains two letters on the pro-
tective policy, from the pens of distinguish
ed democrats, which we transfer to the
columns of the American, confidently be-
lieving that we are not only acting in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the editor.
who is now absent from his post, but in
obedience to the will of a large majority of
the people of this State. Coming, as they
do, from such prominent citizens as Gen.
SIMON CAMERON, and the Hon. CmAs. SHA-
LER, these letters will be read with that
deep interest which the subject they treat
of demands. They deserve the heartfelt
thanks of the toiling classes of Pennsylva.
MIA, for thus boldly defending their dearest
interests at such time as this, when others
it not actually deserting them, have not
the independence to espouse their cause.
The perusal of these letters, we must con-
fess, if such thing We're possible, have
made US more ardent in our attachment to
the doctrine of protection. In fact, we do
not see how any intelligent reader can re-
sist the deductions of these able men.
Gen. Cameron and Judge Shaler could
not have given their opinions on this vital
question at more appropriate period True,
their fidelity to the cause would never have
been questioned had they even remained
silent for the proud and bold stand that
the former gentleman took for the manu-
featuring interests of Pennsylvania while
acting as United States Senator, forbids a
doubt of the kind to arise in the mind of
any one, and the uniform adherence ofthe
latter 10 the sentiments that he has express
sed would have been a sure guarantee for
his steadiastness in the future. But, know
ing as we do, how high these persons stand
in the confidence of the people of this
State, we feel satisfied that their timely ap-
pearance before the public will have the
happiest effect.
The platform of equitable protection to
all OF our great interests, indicated by them,
every citizen, without distinction of party
should be able to stand upon. Far higher
and nobler considerations than those OF party
should control US in matters that are close.

But it is unnecessary to say more, as the
subioined letter from an eminent statesman, a

to Pennsylvania interests, puts the subject in
light, that will be satisfactory to all. |
should not have, indeed, said as much, but
that c',loquy has been cast by some upon the
Editor of the Mercury, for pursuing the course
dictated by due sense of Democratic prin-
c'ples' Your labors will be appreciated =
Indeed, | have no doubt that their utility
will be evinced in the result OF the next
election. That the Democracy will have an
increased majority here and elsewhere IN
Pennsylvania seems unquestionable, and that
it will be chiefly owing to the honorable
stand YOU and some other DemocIatic papers
have taken in favor Of protecting the great
interests of Pennsylvania is beyond dispute.
Respectfully, Yours,
CHARLES SE1ALER.

THE TAptFr AND THE OLD GUARD DE-
NjOCpACy.

1t is with no ordinary pleasure we publish
the subjoiued correspondence, touching the
question of protection to American labor. we
hesitate not 10 acknowledge that we have re-
freshed cur zeal and devotion to Penn'yl'
~ania interests by perusal of those letters.
The opinions and arguments OF 'uoh eml'
nent citizens as General CAMERON and Judge
sHALrn, upon subject TO which those states !,
men have given their attention, in view OF
great national interests, cannot fail to dispei
the idle cant of those who have endeavored
to make II appear that the advocacy OF fair
.nro.ectior, to our manufacturing interests was
inconsistent with the maintenance OF the prin-
ciples of pure Democracy ,-Phtsbu' gh Morn

o. JOHN A. GAMBLE AT HOME Jersey
Shore, the home Of our candidate for Canal
Commissioner, gave Mr.. Gamble 24l votes
and Mr.. Fuller So. This fattering and
complimentary vote is not more gratifying
to Mr.. Gamble than it must be to his many
warm friends throughout the State. When
a candidate is so well endorsed at home
the people abroad, without the benefit of Q
personal acquaintance, feel sahfed that
they have not misplaced their confidence

In i77o, the King of Portugal issued IN
edict, by which widows above fifty years of
age were forbidden to marry: BECAUSE"
says the edict, experience has shown that
women OF that age usually marry young men
OF no property, who dissipate the fortunes
which such marriages put them in possession
Of, to the prejudice of the children and other
near relations OF their wives.

Loss OF A CALIFORNIA PARrY.-A letter
from Santa Fe, dated Aug. 10th, mentions
the loss of a party Of emigrants from New
York, under Gildersleeve, the foot racer,
numbering SO or 60 men. Their oxen had
died, their provisions were exhausted, and the

were lost.

DEATH OF EDGAR A, PoE.--Edgar A. Poe,
Esq, the distinguished American poet, scho-
lar and critic died in Baltimore on Sunday
last, after an illness of four or five days. MIR
Poe, we believe, was native of Maryland
though reared by foster-father at Richmond
Va, where he lately spent sometime on
visit. He was in the 3sth year of his age,
He was one of the acutest critics of the day,
and man of remarkable talents, though the
possession of them did not save him from
some OF the infrmities of genius.

" BROKE JArL.--On Tuesday evening,
two prisoners, taking advantage of the ex.
citement ofthe election and the Sheriff''s alb
sence at supper, dug hole in the Jail wall
and effected their escape. They were
traced as far as the banks of the river,
where they entered a boat provided for
them by an accompice. Both were hea-
Willy ironed and carried away their chains
with them. The one, Lewis Kelchner,
was committed on charge of house break
ing. He is about 6 feet high, with black
whiskers, dark complexion and black eyes.
The other, Ralph Martin, confined for horse
stealing, is about 5 feet ten, with light eyes,
light hair and complexion.

~ THE MAILs.--The mails between
this place and Pottsvile have been exceed
ingly irregular for six months past. Our
mail pays visit to Cattawissa or Danvile,
and the mails of the aforesaid places recip-
rocate the courtesy, about once a week
and tins eccentricity invariably occurs
whenever the mails contain any important
news We do not know where the fault
lies, but have been informed that at the dis
tributing offices between here and Potts
vile, the bags are thrown out promis-
cuously, and each stage driver seizes, in the
same impartial manner, the one nearest
him and carries it to the place of has desti-
nation. 1t is time there is a stop put to
this carelessness, and we hope the Depart
ment will take notice of 1t.

The late Lexington Observer remarks, that
it is not an over estimate to say that property
to the amount of 100000 is advertised for
sale in that paper. This results, principally,
from the number of deaths caused by the
cholera, rendering the settlement and division
of estates necessary.
