combine in party of opposition.
Let US congratulate each other then, that the
new era of Democracy, which, like that Of JEFF

another era of good feeling, and that our chief,
like that illustrous man, point to all the cti
zens of the common country as all democrats

The LEGISLATURE commenced its adjourned
session on Monday, and doubtless proceeded im-
mediately to the transaction of business, as the
organization was already effected, and no delay
would be occasioned in that respect. The busi-
ness will be taken up where it was left at the
rights abroad, and protecting the treasury, the na
last session, and, we hope, carried forward to
completion, with commendable promptitude.-
There was much complaint at the length of the
last session. and the Wings made use of it to pro-
mote their own selfish ends in the late canvass,
and every species of deception and misrepresent-
alton was employed to turn it to the advantage of
their party but to very little purpose. The num-
ber, length, and Importance Of the acts passed at
the last session of the Legislature furnished am
pie evidence that they had not beenidle, and more
that instead of being employed, as has been the
custom of the wings when they have been in pow
er,; in legislating for capital and for class, in
building up mammoth monopolies, to eat out the
substance of the people and control their destiny
they were engaged in establishing the laws of
equality, and bringing the creature of whig favor
itism, down upon common equality with the peo-
pie.
We shall endeayor to keep our readers advised
Of the doings of the Legislature, but our limited
space will notpermit our giving their proceedings
in detail

GoDET's LADY's BooK.-The December num-
Der of this popular Magazine is before us, and
most superb one it s,too 1t is without its superior
among the Magazines Of the country. It is another
of the double numbers, and it's embelshments-
four full plate engrayngs-arev very beautiful. It's
literary contributions are of the first order, and
from the pens OF the best authors in the country,
The publisher has amply fulfilled bis promises,
during the past year. and cannot fail to add largely
to the popularity of his "Book" To show the
pains and expense at which this Magazine ia sgot
up the publisher states the cost of the ebelish-
ments of the December number at $2495,
By the way, we have received a note from the
publisher, asking us why he has not received our
paper for some time past containing notices of the
"Book." The reason is that about two months
ago, our establishment destroyed by fire, since
which time matters have been very much dis
arranged, and we have probably neglected to dis
charge our obligation in this respect We hope
all is right now. We lost the September number
by the fire which destroyed eur office; will the
publisher have the kindness to furnish us with
another copy.

Election Frauds.

Some thirty Wings have been arrested and
bound over in Pittsburgh, under heavy bonds,
charged with being concernedin issuing forged
naturalization certificates. A large number of
these forged and fraudulent papers were issued
and put into the hands of foreigners, some of
whom voted for Gen. Scott, while others revealed
the base transaction and aided in bringing the vii
lains to answsr for their crime. These are the
means by which Federalism sought to triumph in
the late contest. Not content with abandoning
their long cherished principles and measures-not
satisfied with basely slandering and belieing the
Democratic candidate-not satisfied with suppress
sing Democratic papers and documents, and OPEN
ing the mails and stealing their own lying, slam
derous documents into Democratic, Free Soil and
religious papers in order to deceive the unwary,
they must needs follow up their yillainies to the
"bitter end" by committing an act which should
consgn its authors to the walls of the penitentia-
~. Such are thy works, oh, Whiggery.

The President Elect.

The following interesting and very gratifying
sketch of the character and qualifications of Cen
eral Franklin Pierce, with the apt allusion to hs
peculiarly independent position, i, from the Bos-
ton Transcript, neutral paper, the editor of
which enjoys personal acquaintance with him:
"Never did young man enter upon a more
splendid career than that which now opens to
rankin Pierce. Backed by the almost unani-
nous support of the entire country, he will COM
mence his presidential term, untrammelled by 9TH
er pledges than those which his own past acts and
avowed sentiments have given to the world A
"new man. he has no troops of personal sclents'
and expectants, who will regard their past
services as claims for presidential favors. He
tiers upon the service Of the country with no re-
servaton pledging him beforehand to the service
of individuals. From what I'VE know of the man,
we believe he will make an honorable, compe-
tent, patriotic Chief Magistrate; generous and
unsefish in his motives of action; independent,
magnanimous and liberal in his treatment Of op-
ponents; vgilant, scrupulous and industrious in
the details of his Office; led by no blind guides;
duped by no kitchen cabinet, and leading himself
to no act policy unworthy OF his high and re-
sponsisle ststion.''

The Wings now becoming quite reconciled
TO their discontinue on Tuesday last, and comfort
themselves with the reflection that triumph now
would lead to defeat four years hence, whlst the
present defeat gives promise of goorous victory,
with Mr.. Fillmore their candidate, in 1856.
The meagre vote cast everywhere also takes from
the recent contest the character of political tri
umph, showing that there were many thousands
of Wings in every State who absented themselves
from the polls altogether, whilst il lie well known
that great numbers vented their disappointment
by voting for General Pierce.
In Massachusetts the total vote cast on Tuesday
last was 1872 OIL. being 233s less than the vote four
years previous. whilst full vote Of the State
ought to have shown increase of 10000. The
whole vote cast in Connecticut was $3.50, being
l,765 less than at the last Presidential election
Even in Maryland, Notwithstanding the increase
of some 3 900 in this city, the vote Of the entire
State will show considerable falling of, whilst in
the ordinary ratio OF increase it should have been
from 10000 to 5000 larger. With these facts be-
fore US, there 10 every reason to believe that the
entire vote Of the Union will show that General
Pierce has not commanded majority of the suf-
frages of the people, notwithstanding his apparent
overwhelming victory.
The amount of money collected in this city
during the past month for the Washington Monu
ment. including the sums contributed at the polls
on Tuesday last, was Sl.S47. Boxes were placed
at all the election polls in the State and the whole
sum will probably reach $1,000. The following
reports have been made to the agent: Annapolis
$50; two districts Of Anne Arundel county,
$40 10; Westminster, SIS; Cumberland, $40 ls;
Washington county, $l06 81; Hartford county,
$5l 10. At Norfolk. Va, $40 20. "
