A SCENE ON ELECTION DAY.

MI. HOLDEN: There occurred in our old town on
Yesterday scene which we think ought to have
pace IN your paper, which will, we sure, cause
many good Democrat TO nearly 'crack his sides .
iausning. And you, Mr.. Editor, would appreciate
the joke much better if you only knew this enima-
.sole Squire who acts prominent part in the scene.
For the last few days there has been a Captain of
one OF our email lighter boats our town for the
purpose OF having his boat repaired upon the railway
near this place. On Sunday last this Captain was
asked bv certain Squire of the town if he was a
Scott man, and it he was the Squire told him that he
would loan him horse to 90 to the precinct
OF the adjoining County, in which he lived, to vote.
But that horse, he is awfully poor and the Captain
OF being attacked by certain large bird common in
our County. 10 the question proPounded by the
Squire the Captain said tha: he did not know that he
could ,ns leave his work long enough to go down.
. Ihere was nothing more said between the TWO un-
III the afternoon on yesterday. when the Squire saw
the Captain in the stree. and asked him ii he was
not going to vote. to which the Captrn replied tina,
ne did not think that they (meaning the inspectors)
would let him vote. The Squire said hoot! boot
moot! you have the right to vote, along with
me. he took the Captain before the worthy inspec-
tors and told them that this was citizen of this
the Eighth Congressional District, and he had a
right to vote in this County the inspectors, not
knowing the law, and knowing, as they did, that the
Squire Prlded himself upon his knowledge of law as
well as medicine, did wait to get the book but
Captain was entitled to vote. But here comes the
IaughabIe part; the Captain true to his couutrys in
terest, called out for Pierce and King ticket and
about this time the Squire vacated himself like a
streak OF lightning, and the next we of him he
was sreaking down the street. his coatla stand.
ing straight out behind him. In few moments the
mate OF the boat come up 10 vote, having heard of
the success of the Captain, but TO- and behold, when
ne came the inspectors had the book sure enough,
and a. decided that he could not vote. The mate was
Whtg, but he said that he would give FIVE dollars
to vote for Pierce and King. This Squire is some
at swelling the vote of his friend and iessening that
OF the opposite side but in these tricks he is
times caught. The same trick was played here eight
years ago-some Democrats from the upper part of
the State were here business during the Presiden
tla election, and they began hollow out for Clay
and they were soon told TO come up and vote, but
when they did vote they remembered the interest of
their country and voted for James K. Polk.

TENNESSEE.


The following letter (says the Union Of Tuesday
ast,) received last evening, gives, we think, the
most reliable intelligence yet received from Tennes-
see. In addition to the democratic gains it men
tons. we hear of similar gain of 80 in two pre-
cincts of Blunt county:
KNOXVILLE, Nov. 4, 1852.
We have net gain for the democratic party in this
county Of 3O2, which is official. No positive news
east Of this Reported gain for wings Bradley and
McMinn, and gain for the democrats in Monroe.
All three Of these counties are democratic.
McMinn, (whig eain') as aS
Monroe, democratic gain,) IS
Large democratic gains reported in Jefferson. We
think we have the State by small majority. The
wings have never contested it strongly as IN the
present canvass s--.ss.
THr ELrcrloN. Since our last issue [says the
Union,) we have received additional returns from the
various States but they are so vague, and, In some
instances so contradictory. that prefer to postpone
their publication until we get the official statement Of
the VOTE Enough has been heard from Georgia to
convince US that the regular Pierce and King ticket
will have majority Of from five to ten thousand over
al, other tickets. The aggregate majority against an
Scott will not be less than twenty thousand. The
returns from Florida give large democratic gains on
the recent gubernstora election. and indicate that the
State will 90 for Pierce by twelve hundred majority
Louisiana gives Pierce respectable majority. Ala
baula and Mississippi give Immense democratic ma
| iori,ies. From Kentucky nothing has been heard
we think it probable that it gives Scott small ma
| iority. On the other hand, regard Tennessee at
pretty safe for Pierce and King. In Knox county
Pierce gains three hundred the whig vote for gov
ernor. when the wings carried the State by abou
sixteen hundred. Two precincts 10 Rlount give him
gain Of eighty.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The excitement incident to the election having
sisslcd the Legislature is now fully and closely
arcagel with various matters of Importance.
In the House, majority of the Committee on
aesubect, lave reported against Free Suffrage :;
MI = minority report has also been submitted in
Eu Of the measure. The reports were ordered
a5e printed, and the subject was made the order
the day for Friday, yesterday We cannot
4ns it possible that the Wing party will take the
Fonsbility of defeating this measure. We know
znors are in circulation to the effect that the Wing
n.mbers here have caucused on the subject; but
u RELY nevertheless on members Of both parties to
rrss this measure to final passage. The people
aTe demanded Free Suffrage, and THEY SHALL
AVE IT
We refer our readers to our legislative columns
hr the proceedings from Tuesday to Thursday, IN
d4aye.
lF We learn that there are several Counties
this State from which full returns have not been
nale by the Sherifs Precincts have been omit
tl because, as alleged, they were not returned IN
tine; and this too when, by the law, the Sherlfts
themselves are charged with the duty OF holding
he election for President and Vice President, and
ae responsible under penalties for dereliction Of
duty. The vote returned from Halifax is, for Ill
stance. 491 for Scott and 424 for Pierce, when the
actual vote was 526 for Scott, and 482 for Pierce
"a loss to the Democrats of 20 votes. The pre-
aacts in Halifax which have not been returned, are
Nebb's and Lttleton, at which the Democrats got
s. and the Wings 20.
We learn, also, that at other precincts in the
Nate no election was held at all; and the people
'ere thus deprived of the opportunity to exercise
the right of suffrage We hope that, in every in
Sanee where the neglect of a Sheriff shall be ap-
Parent, the law will be enforced and that the AS
snbly will take steps, if any legislation in the
Premises should be necessary, to guard against such
suls in the future.
Under ordinary circumstances the omission o
geeincts would amount to but little in making W
the general result but in so close contest as W.
have just had in this State every vote is important
and ought to be counted.

THE PoRK TRADE THE WEST. AS we have
before stated, the decline in Bacon has caused
a decline in the price of hogs at the West. for the
packing season now about commencing. In Cincn-
natl prices have declined 25 cents, though contracts
have been made for 5000 hogs at full prices. At
Madison, Indiana. about head have been con-
tracted for, and SIS net is the highest price in that
vicinity for several weeks. The Louisville Courier
says the packers in that city have contracted for up
wards of $4,000 hogs, and the present ruling price
appears to be S. Is fully calculated that upwards
Of 100000 hogs will be slaughtered at Louisville
this season.
