The Election Is just at hand, only three weeks

gone by, and nothing remAins but for the Demo-
crazy of Jefferson andthe othCOngressionai Dis
lTict, TO work! work ;! work!!! The signs
are auspicious for a most overwhelming and tri.
umphaul victory. The Wings, feeling the des-
peration Of their cause, have endeaV ored 10 gall

perate and unprinciplcd game ofbragging. The
motto now is 10. Claim everything, no matter how

HON. HENKY ~BEDINGER.

This distinguished champion of the Democrat.
&c party, though buta private in the ranks, is do.
ing ycoman service in the present canvass. His
complete demolition ofthe great Wing champion
at ~IIarpers Ferry, Henry WINTER DAVIS, was
enough TO have satisfied many men, but it seems
only TO have encouraged our good friend BEpM-
GER to yet greater efforts in behalf of The princi-
pies which he processes and the party which he
loves. He addressed The Democratic Assocfa-
ton of Winchester on Saturday night last, and
we are assured it was one of The ablest speeches
ever delivered in that town. 1t elicitedthe most
'unbounded applause, and infused a spirit and en-
thusiasm which threatens to overwhelm Whigge.

Total Of dOublfuI states,

According to the above calculation, if Pierce
carry either Pennsylvania or New York, he will
be elected /; or if he carry Ohio and louisiana /;
or if he carry Louisiana, Tennessee, and North
Carolina.
Scott on the contrary, even ifhe car
ry all three. ofthe great States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, will not be elected. He
must not only get their joint vote, but he must
siana. If he carry all but New York, he will be
defeated if he carry all but Pennsylvania, he
will be defeated. So that, if we have made a
fair statement of the probable condition of the
pol.6o6ks, General SCOTS prospects are rather
gloomy.
1t is proper that we should add that although
we have get down Kentucky, Connecticut. and
Mary land, as probable Scott States, yet our
Democratic friends in those States have strong
hopes of carrying them for Pierce.

for sixty iron bridges to be erected over the

spans of one hundred and FIVE feet each, being
the largest iron bridge in the world, with the
single exception of the one at Menai Straits, in
England. About fifty locomotives are also being
built, and a large number of burden cars being
constructed, all of which will be finished by The
first of January, and if placed in a straight line
make a train otdat least q miles long. Besides
these, there are also a large number of locomo.
