The Canvass Over.

Our day of publication is, this week, very IN
convenient one to us in some respects. we go to
press in the midst of the Presidential election and
of course can give no account OF the voting even
at our town precincts. The result of the election
throughout the United States will probably be
known before another paper is issued, and IN that
event we will if practicable impart the news to
those who depend upon us for information in adj
vance Of our regular publication. We have, more
over, experienced some difficultyin making up the
present paper, owing to the fact that our eXchang-
es have up to the last moment been almost exclu-
svely devoted to the publication of political artl
cles. Hereafter, the newspapers being relieved OF
the heavy pressure of that kind of matter, their
contents will be more miscellaneous and doubtless
more interesting to majority of readers.
In reviewing our course during the canvass
which is row over, we find nothing to rctract and
nothing for which to apologize. We have advo
Gated the election of General ScoTT with zeal and
all our ability, because we believed that his eeva-
ton to the Presidency would promote the best iu-
terests of the country. at the same time we have
published nothing to the prejudice Of our opponents
or their candidate that we did not believe to be
strictly true, or which if ascertaned to be false we
did not promptly retract. So far as we have OBJ
served the Wing press generally have pursued
the same course. We are sorry to say the same
fairness has not been observed by the other party
We can count up no less than seven distinct false
hoods-total fabrications or gross perverslons-
which were published by Democratic papers to
injure ScoTr or advance PIERCE and which were
not only never retraced but republished after they
We're proved to be untrue. Ts 50 great an extent
has this system been carried that this has appro-
priately been styled the Canvass of frauds"
But the canvass is over, and the result though
unknown is nevertheless settled and fixed. Who
ever may prove to be elected good cit
zens to acquiesce, and to give the new adminisra-
ton an impartial tria-toapprovea its acts which
are wise and patriotic, and to censure only those
which are wrong.

SINGULAR METHOD OF FINDING DROWNED
PERsoNs.-The late London papers relate that on
Saturday, the Goth ult., an agricultural laborer,
named Solomon Dunford, left the Crown public
house, opposite the Fountain Hotel, West Cowes,
Isle of Might for few moments, leaving his
basket and pint of beer, partly drunk, but did
not return. On Monday of next week, at noon.
the body was discovered in the water, near the
Fountain Quay. The features did not present
the same appearance as is usual in drowned per-
sons. the face being entirely black A shovel pro
cess"was used for the recovery of the body by one
of the coas-guard On Friday morning the cir
camstance being made known to him, he assured
the bystanders that if the party was drowned in
the neighborhood he would discover the body by
means of ''new loaf of bread, in which should be-
deposited three ounces of quicksilver, when the
Loaf would float till it rested over where the body
might lay" However extraordinary it may ap-
pear, the experiment was tried, and on the Loaf
becoming stationary,a boathook was put overheard
beneath it, and brought up the body. The man
states that this is the fourth instance In which
the experiment has been tried by him with sue
cess

TExAs-TRe Western Team gives an account
of fight between party of Indians and a scout
of the United States Rifles, uuder Lieutenant
Frost The Indians were completely routed though
it is not certain that any were killed All their
camp utensils were captured together with num-
Der of stolen horses. In their camp was found the
mail from Corpus Christi to Laredo, which led to
the belief that the mail rider had been murdered
by them. The rumour that gold exists on the
head waters of the Brazos has, says the Houston
Telegraph of the 9Th ult., been fully confirmed by
the recent exploration of Capt, Marcy. 1t is adj
ded that the geoogist of the expedition has de-
posted at the Department at Washington several
specimens of pure gold which We're found near the
Wichita mountains.

INTEMpBRANcE IN GERMANY-At one of the
last meetings of the Congress of Pastors of the
Protestant Church, held in Bremen, to discuss
such moral and social questions as come within
their sphere ofactivity Mr. Wald the SuperintenG-
ent of Konigsberg, defended the Temperance So
cieties, and to show the necessity for them stated
that drunkenness was the greatest vice of the lower
classes of Germany. There are annually he says,
throughout Germany 100000 deaths from deliriunl
teneens; in the Zoverin alone, 800 900 600 quarts
of brandy are sold and consumed, and in Hesse
onehalf of the grain produced is used for distlla-
ton. From some quotations from the writings of
Luther, adduced on the occasion, the great Re-
former appears to have been no sparing denouncer
of the "heavy- headed reves' of his countrymen
and contemporaries. According to the reports of
the Temperance Societies, many of his reproach-
es have too much force still

FIVE CHILDREN IN ELEVEN MoNTHs.-A gem
teman informs us that lady residing near him
presented her husband with three children at one
birth year ago, and as her landlord was whole
souled gentleman, he gave the lady fifty dollars as
an acknowledgment Of her superior skill In house
hold affairs-telling her at the same time that if
she would perform that feat again, ne would give
her farm.
With an eye probably on the farm, in just elev-
ca months from the day that the three were born
she produced pair Of twins.
The landlord said that she had failed to win the
farm, but the intention no doubt being fair the at
tempt was worth paying for, and he therefore pre-
sented her with one hundred dollars.
That's what he called valuable wife, bringing
her husband in five children and one hundred and
fifty dollars in eleven months. Who can beat the
above ?-.Norf6lk .Nelcs.

The Crescent City Affair.

The Republic states that the Cabinet at Wash
lngton have taken firm and strong ground in oppo-
sltlon 10 the treatment of the steamer Crescent
City by the Captain General of Cuba, and that it
will no doubt be followed by a speedy redress of
the wrong complained Of The question involved
In the case, seem to us rather complicated and diff
ficult. 1t has been much discussed in the newspa-
pers, which have differed widely in their views.
Some highly respectable journals have expressed
the opinion that the Spanish authorities acted as
they had perfect right to act, and that our Gov
eminent has no right to complain or interfere
In this opinion we have not been able to con-
cur. With little or no knowledge of international
law, common sense teaches us that Spain has the
right to exclude from her territory any citizen of
foreign country, who is dangerous or obnoxious to
her but when she undertakes to regard and treat
every individual, and even the public mails, con-
veyed in the same ship with such person, las faint
ed by the contact and association, it seems to be
carrying the matter little too far She indeed
has the abstract right to do SOFAS she has the right
to exclude all our vessels from her ports, but by
virtue of the act we should think, all friendly re-
lations between the two countries would be ter
minated.
The Crescent City has gone back to Havana,
without Lieut.. Porter, he having been transfer
red, at his own request it is said to another YES
sci. PURsER SMITH, however, who is the cause
of all the difficulty and excitement, sailed in the
steamer. AS the authorities have reiterated their
determination not to permit the vessel with him
on board to enter the harbor, the next news from
Havana will be awaited with considerable inter
est.

lowing notice OF the most popular remedy of the
day
We speak in praise of Wistars Balsam of Wild
Cherry, because we believe from our own knowl-
edge Of the article that it is one of the best in the
market for the complaints for which 1t is recon-
mended.
This medicine, coming from such respectable
source, and carefully prepared by an experienced
and skilfu physician is received by the public with
confidence. Its efficacy has been proved in many
obdurate cases of disease, and its fame has rapidly
extended. 1t has been extensively used in every
part of the country particularly in the Middle and
Northern States and strong testimony from INTEL
ligent and highly respectable persons, has been ad
duced in favor of its merits, as remedy for colds
and coughs, affections of the chest diseased liver,

THE GENUINE AND ORIGINAL

The Webster Party.

The WEBSTER executive committee of Boston
held meeting on the Goth ult., to decide what
course the party should pursue A proposition was
made to withdraw the ticket and advise their
friends to stay at home and consecrate the day of
election 'as one of mourning for the national loss
The proposition was finally withdrawn and the
committee left to proceed as ifMr. WEBSTER was
living. The Southern Recorder of Mlledgeville,
Georgia, a WEBSTER paper, nits issue ofthe Goth,
advised its party in that State to substitute the
name of Mr.. FILLMORE for that of Mr.. WEBSTER
on their ticket.
1t is curious to observe how the Democracy,
in regions where anything was to be made by it,
have thrust themselves in as chiefmourners at the
death of the illustrious statesman. One Democrat
c gathering and another has made respectful allu-
sion to the deceased, and the telegraph announced
some days ago that General PIERCE would attend
the funeral-all this to conciiate the WEBSTER
men and gain their votes. Members of the party
have falsely accused the Wings of seeking to kill
off Mr. WEBSTER TO get him out of the way of
ScoTr, but they have taken care to step in at the
nick of time, ''to reap the full reward Of his dy-
ing"

o. A correspondent states that the rise in the
Price Of British railroad iron has been so great that
many contractors Of roads, NOW in progress, will be
ruined. At present prices the difference against
the contractors upon the Cincinnati and St. Louis
road, if the iron were purchased now would be
100000! The correspondent also says
have caution to give our iron masters. They
must 90 into the manufacture of rails if they do it
at all, 10Th the risk Of hacing the duty on the Brit
ISL article entirely repealed An attempt to do this
will be made in Washington this winter. The
numerous roads in progress and wanting iron, will
crowd upon Congress to get rid of the duty. The
agents of the British manufactures will be at their
side helping them.
