webster Movements.

In addition to the active proceedings of the m
dependent friends of Mr.. WEBSTER In Georgia,
North Caroline, Massachusetts and New, York,
they are also moving in Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Wisconsin. These movements, we have
reason to believe, will now be rapidly extended;
for it is manifest since the late elections in Penn
sylyania, Indiana, and Ohio, that the chances of
the wings for electing Mr.. WEBSTER, are about as
good as those of Gen. Scorr. The WEBSTER
men of Massachusetts are in high feather; and to-
day they were to fire one hundred guns in honor
of WEBSTER electoral ticket in New York

The Result i'm Portage.

We give this week the official canvass of the
votes given IN this county at the election on the
tI2th. ltwiA be seen that the entire Democratic
County ticket Is elected, though portion Of it by
small maJorlues. Ems q result Is owing partly to
alsaneetlon N our own ranks and partly to the
tact that large portion OF the Freesoilers gave
their their support to the Wing candidates. We hope
every Democrat will note this fact and bear it in

65 It is truly laughable to witness the crow
ing of our neighbor of the Wig over the result OF
the election in this State on Tuesday week. 1t
seems nightly pleased that whiggery was not
completely demolished, though it was as nearly
SO as could well be. The democratic majority is
put down at not over 5000, and it claims that the
Democrats claimed 90, 900 majority on the State
ticket, and admitted that unless it reached those
figures, the State would 60 for Scott in Novem-
Der. Now there are two downright falsehoods in
this assertion of our neighbor. The first is that
the Democrats ever claimed any such majority. In
fact they had no reason to expect larger majori-
ty than was gived for Gen. Cass in ls4s, and have
never claimed any more, or even that, though the
reports from Columbus show that we have gained
on that majority, instead of its having run down
to 5000, as the WAig claims. The second is,
that the Democrats have conceded the State to
Scott if our majority did not reach 10000. Such
a concession would be foolish and ridiculous in
the extreme, and such claim Is equally ridicu-
lous and foolish. If the Democracy obtained a
majority at all, what reason was therefor its being
reversed in four short weeks! None whatever
and is the folly Of madness for the wings to even
dream of such a thing. And yet our neighbor of
the W1iq expresses strong hope that Ohio will
go for Scott in November; but it is the last hope
Of despair; It's like the hope Of the condemned
cu1prit with the rope around his neck and the cap
drawn over his eyes, when told by the execution
er that his hime is up.

Congressional Election.

Our returns from the several Congressional
Districts of this State, sufficient to show the
election to the next Congress-PHRcE and KING
and two Free -Soilers.
! In the End District in old Democratic Hamilton
where Democrat ought to have been elected, a
whig has succeeded by the basest treachery of q
few ssoreheads,'' defeating Mr.. ROLL, one of the
firmest and most active Democrats in the State.
In the Sd District Mr.. VALLAND1GHAM is de-
feated by small majority, and that secured a.
gainst him by treachery and boiling.
In the 18th district, Mr.. SAPP, whg, is elected,
in consequence of two Democrats running.
These divisions are very much to be regretted
the more when we have triumph upon triumph,
Of the Democracy from every quarter of the
Union.
By some oversight of the Composftor, the name
of DR.. OLDs was ommitted in our Congressional
table in yesterday issue. We place it there to-
day, where it justly belongs.

J
sJR:-The pending political contest is one of
such peculiar and undoubted Importance to COM
mercial men, that we have considered it especially
proper that the commercial portions of popula-
ton be represented by committees from among
themselves. To this end, they have appointed a
committee for your region of country, to look af-
ter and bring to the polls, the votes in your COM
mercial range of influence. There are thousands
employed one way and another, on our Canals,
Rivers, Lakes and Railroads, whose support can
be secured by such men as yourselves, and by no.
body else. We ask your assistance. We are
confident of Victory, and we want your influence
to make the triumph as complete as possible.
The truth is, there is scarcely any interest safe
from the attacks of Locofocosm. They oppose
protection. They dare not ayow friendship for In
ternal Improvements. They have absolutely no
State policy; but seem to rely upon their chances
of raising a clamor against Railroads. Banks,
Corporations, and other business interests. Those
which have hitherto escaped, are not safe, because
new expedients must be resorted to, to keep alive
the suspicious of one portion of the people against
the other.
| Far more dangerous than any purpose avowed
by their platform, is their encouragement of Dorr-
ism and illibusterism, which if they once gain o
foothold among US, make an end of all national
or commercial stability. Odous and high handed
as have been many of their recent proceedings in
this State, the spirit of the party is far dan
gerous than any one measure or set of measures
The moment great enterprise of public or pri
vate character becomes successful they create
public prejudice against it for political uses. A
man whose toll is successful, is Immediately dis
franchised from public favor by the charge of ar
istocracy, and thus most kinds of profitable exer
ton are attacked in their turn. Thus under the
disguise Of Democracy, they attack and destroy
the principles which lie at the bottom of all true
republicanism.

WING Prospects.

Since the Presidential nominations, elections
have been held in eleven States, viz: Maine,
North Carolina, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Flori-
da, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and
Vermont. The wings have claimed at least seren
of these States for Gen. Scott; and yet at the
State elections have got but a single one-Ver-
mon, and in the balance the aggregate Democrat
ic majority is about 100000. That presents rath-
er gloomy prospect for Galphin Whiggery.

Gov. Wood, who has just return from Colim-

cially. and that the balance are fast coming in.
The law requires the returns to be opened in the
presence of the Governor, Secretary of State and
Auditor, and that Tuesday next is the day agreed
upon for the counting. Then look out for thltn-
der! The Governor says that 10000 is the least
the democrats in Columbus will take from pres

HANTI-RENTERs-The anti-renters of the state
of New York assembled in convention at Albany
last week, and passed strong resolutions against
Gov. Hunt and the wings, and avowed their de-
termination to support the democracy. This move
ment uses up whiggery beyond all hope in the En-
pire state. The anti-renters are very numerous in
that state, and have generally given aid to the
wings. Siding with the democrats to make our
cause doubly sure Hurrah for the ant-renters!

SCOTS Nafivism.

Mr. Clingman, Wing M. c., from North Caro-
lima, has written strong letter against General
Scott, in which he says:
Il sDuring the session of the Whig Convention
ut Philadelphia, in that year, (ls4S,) had some
conferences with Mr.. Thurlow Weed, the Editor
Of the Albany Eosesng Journal, and with Mr..
Horace Greeley, the Editor of the New York
Tribune, both Of them being well known as init
mate friends and mouth pieces of William H. Sc.
ward. They were utterly hostile to Gen. Scott
and said that he could not possibly be supported
by them, on account of his Nativism and various
other points enumerated by them. Why isit that
Mr. Seward and those gentlemen have since ia
ken up Gen. Scott and given him the nomina-
ton +!
The Tribune man denies the charge. He says
he took no part as between Taylor and Scott, but
was for Clay ! The Tribune,s Natvism, indeed,
if not quite as efectual as that Of Gen. Scott, for
it assisted in the election of all the Nativist repre-
sentatives sent to the Assembly, the Senate, and
Congress, for this State Pills. Post -s.

Big Business ON Small Capital.

The Galphinisms Of this model whig adminis-
tration are almost as numerous as the sands upon
the sea-shore. That of OeLE, of Pennsylvania,
the nephew Of the gold-spoon OcLE, and also an
ex-member of Congress, has been allucded to.
He made large haul upon the Treasury, and
gambled it away, and then had the impudence to
hold ON to his foreign mission expecting to get
more. But another case is that of the payment
of $2s 900 interest ON an old Chickasaw claim of
only 81 so. After the money was dra@n from
the Treasury and pocketed by the spokesman, it
was discovered that the claim had beed paid
tpeaty seren gears beetoret The $2s,Ooo was kept
notwithstanding this discovery.
This claim is on par with hundreds of others,
which had been paid or rejected by other admin
istratons, but which Tow EwING, or some of his
satellites have dug up within the past four years.
and of dressing them in different garb, have
pressed them through and pocketed the money.
We call this doing a big business on a small
capital. .n-Plain Dealer. 'eFf.
