The preaidentia1 Election.

Notwithstanding his defeat, General Scott has
received the votes of an immense number of Ameri-
can citizens, larger number than composes the
population of some European kingdoms. 1t is a
beautiful illustration OF the excellence of our form
of government and the working of our institutions,
TO see the perfect submission 10 and acquiescence
in the will of the majority by the minority. civil
revolution has been effected by the ballot box alone,
and the defeated think more OF rebelling, or re-
Voting, than they do of going to the M on. What
would produce commissions, riots, bloodshed and
misery, in the Old World, is here just as mitch
matter of course, rs the execution of a decree in
Chancery or the psaceable settlement of suit at
Common Law. The people have heard the argu-
ments. tried the nd rendered their verdict, and
there isnn end of the matter. On the 4th of March
next, Franklin Pierce. without arms u guards, will
appear in the Capitol and be sworn in as President;
and from that moment, WELD the power and pa
tonage of the government, as far as his constitu-
tonal duties will permit, without man, in this
wide republic, to object to his right Who can fail
to love such country and TO glory in institutions
that bring about such result! Political defeat
loses all its sting and Americans of all parties may
rejoice that their nation is aordng to the rest of the
world an example, which will tend more to pro-
pagate republican principles than Intervention OF
acquisition, Obedience to law is the great Ameri-
can doctrine. The termination of Presidential
election is an exemplicaton of this doctrine; and,
in this sense, it is an important event. apart from
other circumstances which affect principles and
measures. May the same great doctrines continue
to be, in all matters touching our foreign and domes
tic relations, the cherished creed of the American
people. alexandria Gazette 90. .rS."s,ES

RErRIEvE OF BLAIsE SKurISsKI.-Yesterday was
the time fixed for the execution of Blaise Skupins
,ki, the younger Polish brother, convicted OF the
murder of the pedlar boy Lehman in Philadelphia.
The Bulletin says: .e
A number Of persons, notwithstanding the un-
pleasant character OF the weather, were collected
on the outside of the prison, though the interest of
the populace, was nothing like what it was at the
execution of the elder Skupinski, the brother of
the condemned CRIMINAL several weeks ago. In
deed, there was little or no excitement around the
prison walls, and glad TO say that scarcely
female face was to be seen, while the juvenile
portion of the crowd was small
About eleven O'Clock, despatch was received
from Governor Bigler respiting the prisoner until
the Sd Of December next. The respite has been
granted in consequence Of information coming to
the knowledge of the Governor that the third par
ty implicated in the killing Of young Lehman,
was likely to be arrested and brought to justice
in short time. The wretched felon was in great
rou lie and distress during last night, and at times
wept bitterly. This morning he was very much
depressed, and completely unnamed. When the
knowledge of the reprieve was communicated to
him, he did not manifest any marked feeling, yet
his deeanor indicated that his heart was relieved
of heavy burden. 1t sunderstood that Blaise has
made confession to his spiritual adviser, the Rev.
Celestin Williem, Polish Priest His confession
it is stated, however, will not be made public

mended to credit to almost any amount, These let
ters which have since turned out TO be forged,
enabled him to swindle one house out of $40, 600,
and various other houses in Vera Cruz, Monterey
and other cities of large amounts. Pinto commenced
operations in Texas, and from house in Browns

A Brides Revenge.

The other day, as wedding party was ascending
the steps which approach one of the Liverpool
churches, the intended bride herself, owing to some
obstruction or 10 an inadvertent step, missed her
footing and fell. The swain, unable, even at that
joyful crisis of his existence, to conceal his vexa-
ton at this little contre temps, exclaimed pettishy
"Dear me, how very clumsy?' The lady said no
thing, but she was observed to bite her lip and "a
far darker and gloomer look than beseemed the
Court of Hymen was seen to gather on her brow.
She walked deliberately, however, into the church.
The ceremony commenced, and everything pro.

&c. Here, instead of whispering, blushingly, a
soft affirmative 10 the communion of fashion, the
lady drew herself up, cast whitening glance upon
her betrothed, and muttering the words "Dear

The late arrivals from England have given ris,

The late arrivals from England have given rise
to the following paragraph: 10 D. -'.s
The mos. important feature of the commercial
intelligence from England is the extraordinary ad-
vance in the price of iron. At a late meeting of
the on-masters, at Wolverhampton, rise Of 20s
per ton agreed upon. This makes rise OF
not less than 4Os per ton in the space of six weeks
An immense number of orders on hand for Ameri-
and India has been the cause. The iron mas-
tiers will make large fortunes in few months but,
in the time, some other most important branch
es of trade will be seriously detrimented by the
enormous rise. The coal masters have given no.
tice of an advance OF Is per ton and the puddlers
wages are to be increased. There has been con-
siderable advance in the price of iron Of all kinds in
the market, and great activity prevails. -.4.
Under our nd paLurum tariff, this increas: of
price adds several dollars per ton to the duty on
our side; and by thus increasing the protection,
might ordinarily be expected to infuse new life into
the iron manufacturers of the country. Such, UNI
doubtedly, will be the case to limited extent
But the growing power Of the railway interest,
part of the prevailing speculative influences
which seem now to control legislation, forbids
hope Of any large lasting benefit to this impor-
.ant branch of domestic industry. bill passed
at the close of the last session Of Congress extends
TO South Carolina railway company credit of
i've years on the duties payable upon their rails,
and at the same time strong efforts were made to
abolish the duty altogether. The Augmented cost
of materials required for the construction of lines
now in progress will give rise to renewal of the
movement, which will derive plausability and
strength from the change that has taken place in
England. With this movement in prospect, back
ed by strong if not controlling power, Pennsylva-
mia has but aremote chance of realizing the advan
.ages to which she is entitled. Her furnaces and
mills, already idle, can experience no impulse while
this question, important as tits, remains in sus-
pense, awaiting the action of Congress which has
shown itself more ready to encourage foreign than
to foster domestic labor. -u s.-...at...if

We object to using sharp knife about the roots
of the peach tree. Knives do more hurt than
good. Place something around the tree to exclude
the borer and you it, but cutting the bark of
the tee to find the borer is worse than scratching
after flea bite.
Peach trees will not bear wounds on the limbs
