TrE PLAaUR IN THE CANARIEs.-The recent
terrible epidemic at the Canaries is described
vividly by the correspondent Of the F!cayune
History does not record anything so sad as the
spectacle which the island Of Grand Canary has
presented, and still presents. The best directed
pen attempts in vain to relate such mlsfortunes
and horrors. and words would not be sufficient
to depict their intensity.
The endemic, supposed TO be the cholera,
ragged with such fury that the inhabitants in
CONSERVATION abandoned the town, without car
ing for anything but their persons, to such an
extent that they even forgot the ties of blood.
Death surprised them in the midst of their
fight so that the roads were covered with
corpses over which not tear Of friendship, or
of fiial or fraternal love was she'd because ter
ror had smothered every sentiment except that
of self preservation. As was to be expected,
the fugtives, carrying with them the fatal germ,
| infected the country, which became The theatre
Of the most horrible scenes.
The beasts. abandoned in the city, perished
for want of food. and the decomposition Of their
bodies together with that Of the human corpses
which remained uBburied in the streets, yiiated
the atmosphere to such an extent that any un-
fortunate person who might return to the city
fell dead almost as soon as he entered house.
However, this new contye-te'nPS was stopped as
soon as possible by the energetic measures
taken by the worthy Military Governor, and by
the humanity of the second Alcade Of the Cor
regdor, and various young men, many of whom
fell victims 10 their heroism.
At last the suppositon was confirmed that the
epidemic was not the cholera, but The terrible
plague Of The .U0orS, it having been asceI tanned
that it was introduced into the island of Grand
Canary, by the fishing vessels which frequent
the western coasts of Africa. The persons in
the island devoted to this traffic, numbering
about 800, have almost all persisted, as there
remain only enough to man single vessel. Ac-
cordng to the declarations Of the masters Of
the said vessels, on all the western shores Of
Africa, there reigns deathIy pest which carries
of the Inhabitants. the mortality being so great
that the corpses strewn upon the earth in in
credible numbers, and their decomposition aug
ments the influence of the corrupted atmosphere
AS soon as the Colnmandant-G General Of the
Province learned the abandonment Of the city
of Las Pamas, he sent portion Of the garrison
of the capital to bury the dead, but the greater
portion of the soldiers were attacked by the ep-
ideulic and died. In short, in order TO give an
idea of the ravages Of the pest, it is only noces-
sary to state that in two months 6000 persons
died in the city Of Las Pamas, and l6,O00 in the
whole island Up to the last dates the plague
had spared the towns Of Agaeta and Fejeda
At the last dates, August 18th, the epidemic
abated considerably in the city, though it still
ragged in the country.

JUDGE CAMPBELL.-Thed defeat Of this
gentleman, enc Of the locoloco candidates
for Judge of the Supreme Court, is no
longer matter Of doubt, as Richard CouI-
aer heads him so far in the counties already
heard from, that he cannot possibly re-
coYerhislosses. The question now arises,
what and who caused this result? Some
of the democratic papers aIlege that Camp
bell was prescribed because he was Ro-
man Catholic! lffo, who prescribed him!
Sarely not the wings, for they polled their
full vote for their candidates. Itmust then
have been the dsm0crucy-lhat democracy
which pro!essediy knows no distinction
between rich and poor, between Catholic
and Mormon, yet " i'll turn round and de.
4eat any one OF the faith who has the har-
dihood to have his name placed on ticket

hereafter a locoloco charges them with in.
tolerance, point TO the defeat of James
Campbell as evidence Of the federation O

VOfGnie Sixth.

The present number of the Gazette
commences the sixth year since it has
passed into our hands, and it affords US
pleasure to say that many Of the trials and
difficulties that heretofore rendered the
publication Of paper in this county ex-
trcmeIy difficult, If not disagreeab!e, have
heen IN 4 great measure surmounted. 1t
is true, hardly year has elapsed during
which individuals have not found fault
with our course, and at times 10 such a
degree as temporarily TO withdraw their
support from us but in almost every in
stance where our motives and actions were
inisconstrued or misjudged, time has shown
all concerned that we have never been gov
eIned by any other influence than desire
10 extend the usefulness, aud contribute
towards the welfare Of the wings Of Milf
fin and the State. We may have erred in
some matters, but if we nave, nothing has
thus far transpired to show that contrary
course on our part would have caused a
different result.
Our list is now nearly one hundred
larger than it has been at any time hereto
fore, and from the interest manifested by
many who begin to discover the usefulness
OF county paper in conducting a cam
paign, will no doubt go on increasing.
Much can be done by our friends in the
country by merely recommending their
neighbors to procure the Gazette, Or if any
one is desirous Of raising clubs, we will
allow ten per cent on all moneys remitted.
Our terms are extremely low-so low as
10 bring the paper within the reach of
every whig in the county-and all we ask
is fair list and prompt payment. That
done, On our part we will undertake
to furnish as good a newspaper as can be
procured in The interior,

consequences of the Election.

1t was maintained by the Wings Of
Pennsylvania throughout the late Cam
paign, that The success of Col. BIGLER
would be regarded all over the Union as
"another noble impulse given to the cause
of Free Trade TO show the correctness
of this position, now that the Locofoco par
ty haze succeeded. we quote the following
paragraph from a lengthy article on the
subject in Thursdays NelC IOrk Herald:
To return to the Pennsy lyania election the
result may be considered as deciSiue against q
revjsion Of the tariff at the meet session Of
Congress. Governor Johnston, the defeated
Wing candidate, made the tariff a distinct Is
sue before the people, in his various addresses
before the election, throughout the State
and ne called upon them 10 declare by their
votes whether they were satisfied with the
present tariff, or whether they desired more
efficient protection, particularly on coal, iron
ard other manufacturers Of Pennsy lvanla.-
Bgler the democratic candidate, on the other
hand, was understood TO be in favor OF the
present tariff, and lot anxious TOR further pro-
tecion. Whatever, therefore, may be at
tempted by the advocates Of higher tarIt1 Al
the next session of Congress- the vote of the
people OF Pennsylvania, as that OF the section
OF The country most Interested III tariff Will
doubtless be urged as decisive against any re-
ris1On or further pr0tect'on.
The speculations Of the Herald in re-
gard to the effect Of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio elections so FAR as relates to the Presl-
dency, are also worth copying. 1t says.
With regard to the effects OF these elections
on the prospects OF the democratic candidates
for the Presidency, We should say that the re-
suit in Pennsylvania IS highly tIyoEah!e 10 Hir.
! Buchanan, whose lavoriie nominee for Govei-
nor is elected by SO large a majority. Should
the democrats of the South generally take mp
Buchanan as their candidate, ne would come IN
to the next natioaai Convention under very
strong auspices.
The cause OF Free Trade and its advo-
Gates is evidently in the ascendant. Bat
PENNSYLVANIA would have it 50, and if her
interests are sacrificed By the operation,
