The great demand in this country for En-.
gllsh periodical literature, has greatly in
jured the circulation Of works purely Amer
ican. Besides the five reprints Of Leonard
Scott a. Co., the Eclectic Magazine, and
Liuell's Living Age, (lhe Two last-named
containing much more Of foreign than Amer.
ican origin,) we observe that il is becoming
quite common TO find articles of foreign
manufacture in works which were once ex,
clusively American. SarlSin's Magazine
which paid more 10 American authors thar
any other work Of the kind, has failed fo
want Of suppor. Is America never 10 hav,

The Grand Result.

The following, which we find in the Ohio
State Journal Of Thursday last, expresses
our own views SO clearly, tina, we copy it
as substitute for any remarks we nigh,
wish 10 make on the occasion. The ,ele.
graphic reports are as yet Monday so IN
definite and scattering, they would be unin.
,eres.ing to our readers; we therefore omi
them. The lines are broken above and be.
low; bu, we shall await tho arrival of the
mail before going to press, in hope of OBJ
!. tanning something more satisfactory. The
Journal says:
"A glnnce a, our ,elegraphic returns vii
satisfy our friends ,ha, Gen. Scou is defeated
and that Franklin Pierce is elected Presi
dent of the United States. We were il
hopes thai we should have the pleasure o

glorious Gen. Scott, but that is inde6niiel,
posiponed. 1t is not the time q, present II
cnler into an examination of the probabl
results of this event. That Locolocoism
triumphant, that all branches of The govern
ment will soon pass into the hands Of ,ha
party, is now settled, The people Of tn
Nation have spoken, and 10 their decision
we submit. We caim no special praise fc
this. We suppose our opponents woul
have done the same thing. if we had lr

ance Of our national virtue and prosperity
We know that evil counsels Gun do mucl

After the Spoils.

The result Of the election in this county
shows that by adding together the Locofoc,r
and Free Soil vote, there is majority Of a
hundred or more against the Wing party.
Already, we understand, has bargain been
made between The leaders Chose who tell
the unsophislicated how 10 vole) of these
two aforementioned parties. 10 unite. nomi-
mute mongrel ticket next fall, and thus de-
feat the Whig party. The temptation wus
SO strong among those who ore born with
an instinct for Office, and who are so noto.
riously unqualified that they could never ex-
pee, Office al The hands of the Whg party,
they could scarcely wait until The returns
were all in at.he late election, before they
began TO calculate how they should manage
10 divide The spoils next year. We have
good authority for this. Well, gentlemen
suppose you Try il On. Pre-haps it may
win. We think not, however Our private
opinion is thatit wou'I mix, any more shar
oil and wafer.

Our Snhscrintion I.ist.

We have said but liIlle lalely in regard 10
our subscription list, on account Of political
excitement, We are not now going 10 tell
you how few subscribers We have in this
county. ltwould make you all blush. Al
one Pos.ofice, in Wing township, there
are six times as many papers iukenrrom dis
tart places, as there are from their own
county. This we believe 10 be true OF al.
most every other postofice in the county.
AT some places, we find that The Ohio STATE
Journal, Whig paper published in Colum.
bus, has more subscribers than the Meigs
County telegraph We will moi complain,
however. If we should lose every fanhing
invested ia this or any other Wing paper,
the consciousness Of having given il 10 a
good cause will be sufficient recompense.
! We have no right 10 complain Of anybody.
Our friends are all kind, and five or six Of
them have procured several subscribers, for
which we feel thankful. Bul The subscrip-
tion loi ought to be doubled. j, mus, be-
ii SHALL be, il we remain connected with
the paper. The ncx. question is, how can
this be donel We answer, in several ways.
/. If each subscriber would procure one
. new one, The work would be accolnplished ed
a, once. But this we do not expect. A few
would do il with pleasure, but seven-eighihs
} of them would never attempt il.
2. If Two or three wel.-known men in
; each township would volunteer TO acl a:
agents in their immediate neighborhoods-
, among their acquaintances and friends, III,
Thing can be easily accomplished. This, W,
! ! hope, will be done. We already have on
volun,eer-Mr. j. F. Brown, Of Orange
i. Who will be another?
!. 8. Should these fail, we can employ on
Il or more agents TO visit every house in tn
' county, to solicit subscriptions.
n Should we fail in this, we shall max
i. the attempt, in persona proprid, visiting e,
y cry nook and corner Of The county, and G,
1t haustDg our powers Of persuasion in III
/, attempt.
,eI We do no, anticipate any failure. W
re believe there are enough live Wigs, TO So
e. nothing of any Other parry, 10 increase OF
= u list four fold. There are more Wing "
r. lers in this township alone, Than we ha,
of names on our books. Fail ! There is I
l. such word in our vocabulary.
e. We arc determined 10 publish n got
- y, newspaper, (subscribers being the judges
be and we are also determined TO have respec
able list of subscribers. Those who aid u
will lose nothing by the operation.
b. Eight more numbers will complete Il
~ present volume. We commenced with II
r. last half. We hope 10 begin the next vt
as umo under more favorable auspices, that '
q may be encouraged TO make many improv
fy men,s from time TO time.

Who did itl

We understand that, on Friday morning
last, coffin was found al the foot Of the
Wing pole in Middlepor,. Whe,ber. was
stolen from some under,aker's shop, or pur-
chased by some person who has more money
than brains, we are unable 10 say. 1t is
rumored. however, that the German who
keeps The grocery" where DR.. Olds stopped
10 "refresh" himself, knows something OF
the matter. |, makes but lille difference,
however, who it was---i, hurts nobody but
those engaged in it. We do not believe The
Locoloco party would sustain such a dos
lardly acl A certain class of vagabonds,
no doubt, would be glad 10 see Gen. Scott,
as well as any other man who has periled
his life for his country, coffined and placed
under the sod; but the party with which
they vote is no, TO blame for their acts.
1t is also rumored that project was on
foot for burning Gen. Scott in effigy. This
we believe is abandoned. We are inclined
to think il would be unsafe TO attempt it, in
this vicinity. No one but an incendiary
would entertain The idea OF committing such
an outrage. Persons who have not insured
their property will do we'll 10 attend 10 lha
matter Immediately.

The Vote Of nIeigs County.

The vote of Meigs county at the late cleo
lion was unusually large. The number of
votes polled was 3,266-showing an increase
Of votes over the last Presidential election
of 623, and an increase over The last State
election of IT'S. .ll was the heaviest vote
ever polled in Meigs county. Every voter
who was not actually confined 10 his
bed, was brought TO the polls; so lnl
as we have been able 10 learn. The Wings
worked manfully. The tables will show or
increase of over 800 Wing votes since the
October election. But the increase OF Lo
cofoco votes was over 400. Where ihi!
vote came from, nobody knows. In al
probability, many of these voters will no
be heard OF again for some ,inie to come
Whether they have all paid their poll lax
is question suggested by The condition o
