PenHsYlvania.

The returas already received leave no doubt of the
election Of Col. Bigler, dem, for Governor, and Gen.
Clover, dem. for Canal Commissioner, and the whole
democratic ticket for State officers, and a large MAORI
~ in the Legislature. This is a most glorious triumph,
"a triumph over the combined forces Of Abolitionism,
Native Americanism, and Whiggery. Bigler sustained
the compromise measures, whilst Johnston opposed
them, and favored the election Of Gen. Scott to the Pre-.
sidency. The Keystone of Whiggery is broken, and the
bridge that carried it over in safety in the last conflict
has tumbled into the waters.
With nodding arches, broken temples spread,
The very tombs now vanished. like their DEAF"

We learn from the Buffalo Courier, that this queen of
song, after her visit to Toronto intends spending two or
three days at Niagara, 10 bid alden to a scene, the beau
ty and s%ublimity OF which have fascinated her so strong.
ly that she feels 10th to resume her universally acknowl-
edged position as the highest professor of the most de-
lightful of all the Arts and where she has, for the first
time in this country, found and enjoyed the comforts of
a home. She will then proceed direct to Cincinnati, and
return from thence by Columbus and Cleveland, through
Rochester to complete the Eastern portion of her tour
in the Atlantic cities-she will thus avoid what she fears
the journeys on the Lakes at a period of the season when
travelling ceases to be an enjoyment, and when the wealth
err is proverbially uncertain. By this arrangement she
omits entirely Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee.

Marion County Agricultural society.

An adjourned Meeting Of the Society will be held at
the Court House, on Saturday, the first day of Novem-
Der, next, at 2 o'clock, p. M.
1t is designed that arrangements shall be made to hold
a County Fair in the fall Of 1852, to designate the kind
of Crops, Domestic Animals, Manufactures and Miscel-
laneous productions that shall be entitled to premiums
and TO receive returns from the directors of the several
Townships of the new Subscribers to the Society. 1t is
hoped that all interested in the Farming and Mechanical
improvements of the Comfy will be present.
A number Of the counties Of this State have held Fairs
this Fall, and the Farmers, Mechanics and Manufacture
ers have been enabled to compare the results Of their
labor and skill, much to the credit of the competitors.
And it will require no little exertion for those OF Ma
rion County, to prepare, not only for the contemplated
County Fair but for the State Fair also, which will be
held next Fall when a comparison Of the industry and
productions of the various parts Of State will take place.

1t is difficult to learn the state of the vote in this good
county of Hamilton. We know that the wings are used
up, here as elsewhere in the State. There is no chang.
ing the fact, by compromise, coalition, or otherwise, but
what the majorities are is not easily ascertained, for the
thousand and one officers voted for, but we shall learn in
due time.
Accustomed, as we have been, to rely upon our Wing
brethren for accurate information on political matters,
we tried last evening TO find out the real state of the
votes. Few Wings were to be found, and but a few OF
them had heard that there had been an election, others
were reported absent. On inquiry, we found that they
had embarked for the head waters of Salt River, and
were on their way up. We promise to lay the official
list before our readers as soon as we can get it. All the
information we now have is in another column.

Another Beautiful Phase in the system.

There were in the State of New York, in June last,
no less than tmo hundred aud twenty-tpo Banks! The
number is no less now. With all this army of currency
makers and prosperity manufacturers, it is testified by
all the commercial journals of that State that there has
not been since 1897 such a " hard time Tor money as is
experienced now. Many able firms are suffering great
embarrassments in conducting business, and many other
firms, that have been rotten for a long while, are seiziag
upon the present tight times as a glorious opportunity
for them TO make known an honorable insolvency. In
such a condition of affairs a great many credulous per-
sons, who have been taught by Wing economists to look
to the paper system as the sure reliance in all CONNER
cial troubles and the infallible cure-all in every species
Of business disease, would naturally ask what all these
222 paper money mongers are doing, that they are not
quick in executing the blessings of their legitimate and
allotted mission? Sure enough,-what are they doing?
Why, simply taking care of themselves, -foundering to
keep their own hulks from the threatening ware -
onstratlng conclusively how utterly useless they are as
a reliance for relief when business men are in distress.
Shall we be told, just here, that paper is made scarce,
and the no small army Of seventy in Ohio, because they
have had to redeem their bills in specie, for shipments
abroad, and that this latter is the cause of such tightness
and scarcity! That will not do. We have more of the
precious metals in the country now, after all the expor.
tations noised abroad, than we had six months ago.
The minis have coined, since the lst of January last,
S35 SOC, $50. OF this sum California alone furnished no
less THAI $31 ,O5S 900. The customs exhibit an expor-
tation of Si3 SIT 900 and they show an importation of
s107 500 900; leaving in the country nearly "a millions
of dollars more in specie than we had in 1S49.-Cin

Wbig Tariff

The Advertiser was out, the other day, with an article
squirting awfully towards the re-enactment of a high
western farmer, and build up the mushroom aristocraey
OF the loom and the spindle, in the overgrown manuiac-
turing cities of the East. The stereotype phrase, ga
home markets home Market ''stuck OUT considera-
bly, throughout the article in question, and particularly
so in the pathetic appeal to the farmers to let that print
take care of their interests in this regard. Europe is
breaking down our "home market" quoth the Wing
prints and politicians. "Her grain is sold as cheap as
ours, nay cheaper, " say they, and this breaks down our
manufactures" And so the changes are rung continu-
ally on this fertile theme. "Our exports" says one,
that these ''protectionistsn believe what they say. On
this point ~e have only to remark that, as Figures won't
lie, we will give the figures from the Treasury reports,
to exhibit the iallacy OF the assertion:
Our exports were in
1874, $99, 7I5, 179
lS45, under expiring Wing tariff of 1872. lO2, l4l, 1898
1S47, under Democratic tariff, ........... 100, 057 AGA

" lS51,...... .......-........ 1854, 731 bbls
This looks amazingly like a falling off in exports,
doesn't lit Official tables exhibit the fact that, to Aug.
10th, 1851, 453 ,0S5 bbls. -four, and 461 ,276 bush. wheat,
and TO same period in the present year, the exports
amounted to ,532, 203 bills. of -four, and 1,479 1892 bush
wheat! while our imports into New York for said month
of August, are less, by 81 ITS SOP, than for the same
month in the preceding year, and 50, ACC. O40 less than
for the same period in l849! One would think that this
state Of facts would put the matter at rest, and yet,
when over-trading, speculation, &C., cause banks to con.
tract their loans and issues, and thus produce a eight
ness in the money markets, and a dearth of paper cur.
rency, upon which produce dealers depend for the pur.
chase of the great staples, we are gravely told that the
price of wheat, &c, depends entirely upon the ''home
market, " and that instead of a temporary depression, the
low rates are to rule until the Wings can legislate anoth.
er high protective tariff into existence.
Great complaints, too, are made of the want of dis.
elimination in the tariff Of 46. Let us see, for the ben.
eft of our Western folks, what kind Of tariff it is which
seems to sit so uncomfortably on the eastern lords of the
spindle. The reports of the Treasury Department, show
the following comparison between the Wing tariff Of
40 and the Democratic tariff of 40, in the following
particulars. We begin with the "luxuries" Of life, Of
which our hard handed farmers feel not the necessity:

Owe clip the following from the Milwaukee Senti
mel. These beautiful lines were sung at the funeral o.
Lila Perkins the little neice of our fellow towHsman
Hon. Saml. E.. Perkins, who was killed in Milwaukee a
few weeks since by the falling of a bank of earth. They
were composed by her father to whom the sad news was
telegraphed while detained by a storm in Chicago.
They are most beautiful and touching and tell a fathers
deep feeling in the loss of a beloved child.
Oh, Lila, sleep no more, but awake, and speak to me.
Dear Lila, so lovely, and so mild,
Kiss your father again with that sweet, happy smile
OH hushed is the voice of my child
In a dreamless sleep, and thine eyelids closed
And pale is that sunny brow,
And thy dimpled hands on thy bosom fair
Lie folded and quiet now.
On my cheek no more shall thy velvet lip
Its kiss Of fond love impress,
And thy cherished form to This heart no more
shailbe pressed with tenderness.
No more shall you Gull from the garden the flowers,
Or climb on your dear fathers knee;
No more shall you chase little X ATE through the bowers,
Or kiss away the tear from her eye.
No more shall you sing with your sisters a song,
As we sit around " our own hreside,"
No more weep with US the hearts bitter tears,
Because our poor mother has died.
In the new church yard. called the Forest Home"
In a grove, where our tears we can hide,
We've laid your mother dear, and we all soon shall come
And slumber with you by her side.
Then farewell Lilla-we will kiss you once more;
To the cold. lonely grave then repair
But wen come and plant flowers round your dear little
head,
And sing for you the " Orphans Prayer"
Farewell, LILA we will " kiss you again.
To thy father, twas thy last simple prayer.
HE swaw to thy mother, who will clasp thee with Joy,
And tell her wen all soon be there.

BOne can form some idea of the amount Of building

known that at one ofour Brick-yards, (Mr. John Greer's),
there has been manufactured three millions, three hun

the largest Backyard in this vicinity, and he expects
next season to make equally as many brick as he has
the past, and, from the manner in which Indianapolis is

70 Many ultra conservative papers, remarks the
Hamilton Telegraph, are rejoicing over the sad termin-
alton of the recent effort to emancipateC Cuba, and many
others exult secretly, though deferred from motives Of

dor and become a fixed light in the republican constella-
ton. We believe yet that her people are for Indepen-
dence, and only wait a favorable moment. Another
year will not pass until Cuba will have again attempted
TO rid herself from the thraldom of Spanish power, and
we trust that success will then crown the effort. There
are hours Of gloom in every struggle. The doubt which
now shadows the patriots is not more disheartening than
that which hung over Valley Forge before tho crossing
of the Delaware. Men who do battle for human free.
dom must hope all things and endure all things. 1t
seems a wise arrangement Of Providence that the boon
should be rendered precious by the sacrifices which it
demands. The Israelites were.many years wandering
in the wilderness, after departing from bondage, until
their arrival in the promised land but they arrived at
last with a faith purified by the ordeal through which
they had passed. Lopez IS dead. Crittenden is dead.
Nearly all that brave band are gone from this world.
But the spirit which animated and sustained them lives
in all its original vigor, and the authorities of Havana
can no more strangle or imprison that than they can
conscience, or the light of heaven.

More than one thousand ~emigrant wagons passed
through Indianapolis during last week, all bound West.
The number Of ~emigrants this season has been greatly
augmented in consequence of the passage of the bounty
land bill. Many an old soldier who has been a tenant
all his life, is now enabled to become a free holder and be
a free man indeed. Others by this means have secured
homes for their children, and who are now focking by
thousands to cultivate these fertile, but hitherto unpro-
ductive lands. May the blessings of Heaven 60 with
them, and may they multiply and ~replenish the earth.

Governor Whitcomb.

We clip the following from the New York Day Book.
The friends of Governor Nhiteomb will be gratifed to
hear that his health is improving.
SENATOR WHITcoMB.-This distinguished citizen OF
Indiana has been for some time in our city, but in too
feeble a state of health to mingle in social or political
circles. We are glad to hear that his health is daily i'm
proving, and that he will be able to take his seat at the
next session OF Congress with renewed yigor. Mr.
Whitcomb is one of our most remarkable men. If ever
the country had cause to be proud of the genins Of its
institutions, which so readily recognize and reward
I" selfmade men," as individuals who arrive at great
honors without the advantages of early education, wealth
or family patronage, are called among US. our Republic
may well exult over the career of James Whitcomb.
After picking up from others through extraordinary diff.
6culties, a slight knowledge of grammar and arithme-
tic, Mr.. Whitcomb made himself master OF law, Latin
Greek, French and a more than respectable acquain-
lance NTH astronomy and natural history. Few are so
well versed in the English classics as the senator, and
in his appreciation Of genius he is an enthusiast. Mr..
Whitcomb has filled all the superior political offices in
Indiana. He was twice governor OF and is now United
States Senator from Indiana. He for many years com.
manded an immense law practice, and is at present per-
haps the most influential man in his State. Mr.. Whit
combs principles are democratic, and he brings to theiI
support a powerful intellect and profound erudition.
