Notwithstanding the vast majority Of the popular
vote By which Franklin Pierce has been called to the
chief magistracy Of the republic, the victory were yet
incomplete If his own native State be not foremost in
his support In the opinion Of politicians whose only
care is success. the vote OF New Hampshire is a matter
he is held by those who know him best, il must afford q
peculiar pleasure and pride to General Pierce to witness
the enthusiasm with which his %neighbors and friends
rallied to his support. On a recent occasion, and with
touching eloquence, he made q passing alluslon to the
partisan assaults upon his good name-only, however,
to express the confidence that pertdy could not rob him
of the esteem Of those who knew him. He has not been
disappointed. The calumnies Of Foss and Fogg fell
harmless against his invulnerable honor. In New
Hampshire, where he is best known, he is most loved
and admired. Perhaps no man ever excited such gen.
erous and whole-souied regard as has been lavlshed
upon Franklin Pierce during the recent canvass by the
people oil New Hampshire. More than all else does
this fact attest the solid and sterling worth Of the man.
and therefore does he value it above every other mani
festation OF popular regard.
The force OF the following paragraph will be appreci.
ated when II is remembered that another citizen OF New
Hampshire competed for her - Wash. Union.
[From the Concord IN. H. Patrot.l
Subjoined are returns of the recent election in this
State from seventy towns. They give a net gain of
over 300 on the vote of last March, when our majority
and King in the State is from 5000 to $4,000 over
Scott, and 900 or 5000 majority over Scott and Hale.
Every town heard from, with but two exceptions, has
made a democratic gain. We point our readers to the
vote OF Concord, with its 291 net gain, Manchester
with its 3l6, Nashua and Nashville with their 2o7, as
the verdict Of the people, where he and his vile SANDER
ers are best known, upon the foul and malignant ealum-
MES against Gen. Pierce with which the federal papers
published in those places have teemed.

INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.
Oregon.


From the Oregonian Of September 18th, we clip the
following remarks upon the past and the present.
a. We look back with asionishment at the rapid I'M
Orovement Oregon has made in a few short years. Less
fbsn two wears ago we came 10 this territory. At that
time the only steamer on the Columbie I'd willamette
rivers. was the little I" Columbia, /" whicr weekly
trips between Clackamas rapids and Astoria, consuming
nearly forty-eight hours IN performing the distance De-
tween the two points.
Or entering the Columbia, we were greatly disap-
pointed at the size and appearance Of the worid-re-
nowned Astoria. As we assembled the river, thu appear
ancs o. either side, as far as ST. Helen's, presented
nothing but a continued wilderness, with some two or
tbrae exceptions. Mr.. Birnie's, now called Calamet'
Oak Point, and one house just below St helen,s, were
all the evidences Of civilization that greeted the eye.
ST. Helen's, if we remember rGhti contained tnrse
buildings, and Portland boasted Of some twenty, IN all,
with about a dozen families, four or hve small stores
and one saw mill.
HAstoria is much larger now than il was then; the
hanks of the Columbia are skirted with the dwellings Of
nav settlers; St. Helen's presents the appearance oil a
hourishing tOwn-the buildings all new ana o, gooo
size; Portland has more than quadrupiedj many houses
having been built Of a superior order and style We
have over twenty traders doing a fine business, besides
mechanics engaged in almost every mecnanical employ
ment usually found in the large towns on the Atlantic
side.
1--WE have three good churches well finished. VIZ:
CONGREGATIONAL. Methodist. and Catholic; also an Epis-
copal congregation who worship at the school house, an
Academy under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal
Conference, and a large free school,, three saw and one
Touring mills, doing an extensive business. There are
four steamers constantly plying below the rapids oil Ore
gon City-the Lot Whitcomb, Multnomah, James p.
Flint, and Eagle also three above, Canemah, Washing
tor, and Hoosier and one more being built There are,
also, two weekly newspapers and one monthly maya
zine published in this city, which speaks well for the
intelligence of our citizens.
50 We made a trip about the first Of July last, to Pu-
gets Sound, and again a few Gays since. The rapid
Increase of settlements along the way was truly aston
ishing.
3 Nor are the places above alluded to the only por-
tiOns OF the territory which evince a rapid improvement;
the whole Willamette Valley is filing up with an intel.
Iigent population; and Oregon City. Salem, Lafayette,
Marysville, Scottsburgh, Jacksonville, and many other
towrs are growing into importance with rapidity I'm.
known, save in the settlement OF California
Last year, the emigration did at probably exceed
three thousand; this year, we are assured, II VIII not
fall short OF ten thousand. 1t will therefore be seen
that our course must be onward, so far at least as the
increase of population and business is concerned."

Predictions Verified.

Following the nomination Of Scott, we stated in the
Enquirer, on what We regarded good AUTOBIOGRAPHY
on what we had seen, and especially on what we heard
that a very large portion Of the mercantile classes in
New York, would either oppose the election Of the
Wing candidate, or would stay at home, remain inact-
i've, and refuse to vote. Our article went the rounds OF
the Democratic press, and finally obtained the denuncia-
tion Of a contemporary in this city, as a fabrication,
having no basis on truth.
Time has tested the statement, and the New York
Tribune has frankly acknowledged its correctness. In
some reht ctions upon the defeat Of Whigism in that city,
the Tribune said on the Sd:
"Our wealthy and mercantile Wings generally kept
away from the polls, or either voted the dead union
ticket, or else refrained from voting for any electors
On the other hand, our opponents, literally supplied
with money, were very active throughout. They hau
the bulk Of the importing interest at their back, and the
city reform and temperance alliance diversions operating
strongly in their favor. They went in to win and
did il, though, we thiak, they cheated more than was
necessary.
"Cotton went very hard against us. We hoped the
men who have been defeating the Wing party for two
or three years past, in order to skill Seward must
have finished their job by this time, but they were at it
as hard yesterday as if they had inst began. 1t is a
matter of some interest to know when they expect to
get through, if ever"
That's enough,-ample!-Ctn. ENG.

Daniel Drake Dead !

1t is with pain that We announce the death OF this
old citizen and most distinguished physician, who died
last evening at 6 o'clock. OF congestion oil the brain.
DIR. Drake has filled an important position in the his
tory OF Cincinnati and the western country, and more
especially in the medical history OF the country. he
had a most active mind, a most untIring industry, and a
most determined will. His biography. produced by the
pen Of one who knew him well, and appreciated his pc.
culiarities, and well posted up in his acts and personal
strifes, will make one of the most readable books OF the
times.
He was most Unexpectedly cut of, in the sphere Of
bis usefulness, and while yet, in the general course OF
nature, he was still looking for a future oil profitable
Iabors in the field Of science. He was about 81 years
OF age, and has lived in our midst since Cincinnati was
a small village.
DIR. Drake was a man of marked harscteristics7a
bright star in the medical world-devotedly attached to
his professionally has effected more for il than any
living man west Of the Alleghanies. His energies have
been remarkable in the cultivation Of the medical
science-the education and support of colleges-the
elucidation of theories and harmonizing them with
practical facts, and in giving to the profession a high
tone of dignity, in character with the Importance of its
position among the sciences.
We will wait for SONS friend to give to our readers a
more particular and detailes account Of his life and pub
lic services. All that we can now say is, that a great
man has fallen, and Cincinnati lost one of her most emi-
nent and distinguished citizens, and medical science one
Of her most enlightened and jealous votaries.-CiRcin-

the editor Of the O9densburg Journal. as follows:
| have found il TO be a universal fact, without excep.
ton, that those scholars, of both sexes and all ages
who have access TO ne newspapers at home. when comPar-
ed to those who do not, are:
LIST. Better readers, excelling in pronunciation and
emphasis, and consequently read more understandingly
%. They are better spoilers, and define words with
greater ease and accuracy.
Sd. They obtain n practical Knowledge OF geography
in almost half the time it requires others, as the news
paper has made them familiar with the location Of all
the important places, nations, their governments, and
doings on the globe.
4th. They are better grammarians; Tor, having be-
come familiar with every variety of style in the news
paper, from common place advertisements TO the finish
ed and classical GRAFTON Of the statesman, they more
readily comprehend the meaning Of the text, and con-
sequent:y analyze its construction with greater accura-
cy.
9th. Tkey write better compositions. using better
language, contsining more thoughts more clearly ex-
pressed.

debating societies, exhibiting a more extensive know
ledge upon a greater variety Of subjects, and expressing
their views, with greater elearDess and correctness In
the use OF the language.

Great-Men Children.

Some parents, particularly fond of naming their child
rem after great men, ransack histories to christen en-
bryo heroes in s~waddling clothes. Mark Anthony and
Octayius Caesar often quarrel over a shingle-boat in a
gutter in modern times, with as hearty a good will as
did their distinguished originals abaut the ownership OF
the Roman Empire at Actium. A dotins mother in a
Western city has three boys, who she has named Hen
ry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Thomas Corwin, and al
ways takes especial care to give them the full benefit Of
the illustrious titles. Being nearly OF the same age and
constant companions, it is entertaining to hear her adj
dress them. They were all three playing upon the
pavement u0der the window not long since, when she
sang out to them in this wise:
Now Daniel Webster, if you take that bread and
molasses from Henry Clay, Pll let Thomas Corwin
stick that fork into your eyes. Why, Henry Clay, you
are an dngratelul little wretch, to fill Thomas CorwIn's
ears with sand; and that new pair of pantaloons l
bought for Daniel Webster, he has torn to pieces, riding
a hobby without driving ia the nail"
The last heard of the distinguished trio Thomas Cor
win was endeavoring to persuade Henry Clay 10 eat a
and both Of them doing their utmost t.
force an India rubber ball down Daniel Webster's thr oat.
