MIDDLEBURY. NOV, 10, 1852.
The Presidential Election.

The returns show the election of
Franklin Pierce, as the next President
ofthe United States, by an overwhclm-
ing majority of the electoral votes. SO
onc-sidcd an election has not occurred
since 1910 We are even worse defeat.
ed now.perhaps, then was the Democrat
ic party then.
Vermont is yet found where she al
ways has been. The Wings of this
state have in good faith sustained the
nominations of their party, and none Of
the responsibility of this defeat belongs
to them.
1t is manifest that the Wings were
not so united, nor their strength so full
~ concentrated, as was hoped. The sue
cess of the Democrats was attained
through thorough party organization
and through the allurements of partizar
rewards in prospect. Neither theil
principles nor their men, we believe
would, when fully known and understood
receive the approval of majority of the
people.
This is no time to give way to despon
dency. Let us continue to stand firml,
BY our party principles and organization
Though the majority of electoral vote.
against us is large, the popular vote il
the several states shows that the Viii,
party is by no means demolished or dis
membered. In minority in both house,
of Congress, as We have been heretofore
we can still make our influence power
fully felt. Two years hence, if righ
counsels prevail, and right excrtions ar,
made, we shall be stronger than ever.

The Hon. FRANCIS BAYLIEs, whose

The Hon. FRANCIS BAYLIEs, whose
death occurred at Taunton recently
had filled several stations Of i'm
portance during his life. He had
been a member of the Legislature of
Massachusetts,, and a representative
in Congress, where he was one of the
first to call the attention of that body,
and of the people, to our possessions
on the Pacific coast, dwelling upon the
advantages offered for colonization, the
millness of the climate, the variety of
their productions, and the facilities
they presented for an extensive COM
MERGE with Asia. In 1882, he was
sent by General Jackson as Minister
to Buenos Ayres, where he resided
but short time. lie was the author
of history of the Plymouth Colony,
in two volumes, but his hest produce
tons were his occasional political es-
says, published in the newspapers, cal.
led forth by some question of policy
before the people, or by the approach
of some election, and these were very
spirited and eloquent. He was man
of amiable manners and agreeable con.
versation. lie was fond of study, and
his time was principally occupied with
literary pursuits.

ESThe entree of Louis Nap oleon
into Paris on the 10th ult., was ,ele.
bratedswith the greatest eclat. His
entrance into Paris was day of pomp
and excitement, in which the Parisians
took special delight. There we're any
number of Triumphal arches erected,
all of which were surmounted by i'm.
perial emblems, except one on the
boulevard Beaumarchais. Over the
shops, however, in the neighborhood,
such emblems and notices we're abun,
dant. AS Louis Napoleon entered
the grand entrance of the Garden of
Tuileries, the boquets and garlands
strewn upon his path were so abundant
as to incommode the horses of the es-
cort. 1t is calculated that $50, 900
strangers arrived to see the spectacle.

neat typographical appearance From
its columns we gather few interesting

Several gentlemen have lately visited
this place with view of erecting steam

that Puget's Sound possesses advantages
and offers inducements for the lumber
trade far superior to any other portion
of the Pacific coast. Every vessel enga-

SEWING MAcuNEs.-The Scientific
American says, WILSON'S Machine, is,
i'll our opinion.a great triumph of Amer
lean genius 1t is no larger than neat
small work-box, very portable and con-
venient, and we have seen fine shirt-bos-
oms and collars stitched by it IL a more
perfect manner than we have ever seen
done by hand work. There are now, we
believe, about 500 machines in operation,
and orders exceed the supply.
The sewing machine is but on the TIRES
hold of its career; it is but partially
known and applied in this country. Pri-
vate families know nothing about its use,
and shoemakers and saddlers have not
yet tested its benefits. Mr.. Wilson in.
forms us that he is about to make one
that will sew boots and shoes with a ra-
pidity that will astonish all the sons of
Crispin. ALBANY Cuitirator.

The LATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
The Springfield Republican gives some
detailed and interesting particulars of
the terrible accident which happened
near that city on Saturday last, the
account of which we published yestcr.
day. 1t will be remembered that the
cars were thrown from the rails, and
partially immersed in the canal. A
passenger informs the Republican that
Immediately after the train stopped.
he ran to the door, and looked for the
car behind. In the brief space Of
half minute, it had sunk half down.
and both platforms were crowded with
passengers, screaming for help, and
their faces streaming with blood. I'm
mediately hundred people of Wind
sor Locks were on the spot, and taking
timber and plank from the lumber yard
close by, built bridge to the car, and
proceeded to rescue those in danger
1t is known that twenty to thirty were
saved from this car alive, but nearly
all of them bruised. The two return
ed Caliiornians, were taken out dead
Holes were chopped through the root
of the Car, and several other returned
Calltoraians and other passengers ta-
ken out alive. The whole was the
work of terribly brief space of time
for it could hardly have been two min
utes before the car was sunk down tc
the roof. The passengers of the Other
cars were very efficient in rendering
assistance.

started off at full speed, and soon be-

between tree and a lamp post, the
shock throwing Mr.. Van Rensselaer,
out, without any serious injury but
the horses, which were very valuable,

securing the horses.-These horses
were to trot next week on the u
Mon Course for purse of $4,000.

Election Returns.

The report of the result in this State
is no where so completely presented as
to show the precise Wing majority on
the aggregate vote. Our estimate of
5000 is probably near the truth. We
must wait for the official tables. In the
III. District Alvah Sabin Wing, is cleo
ted by aplurality of 7C0 K asson Free
Soil, and Haywood Hunker.
In the Presid entail Vote, Vermont
and Massachusetts only are ascertaincd
as Wing, the latter by plurality of
1000. Kentucky and Tennessee are
yet doubtful, but are very generally con.
coded to Pierce. The majorities' in
Pennsylvania and Ohio are as large as
have been claimed, from Is to 20 900
That in New York is reported 10000
on the electoral ticket, and gives to the
same party the State ticket by nearly
the same majority. The Congressman
stand as ascertained. 81 Democratic, 10
Wing, Abolition, l lin Jefferson and
Lewis Co's) Independent Northrop
Wing, in Washington, Saratoga, War
rem and Homilton, is reported beaten
by 1907 Simmons Wing, in Essex, Gin
ton, &c, elected AS specimen of the
South, bad one to be sure; Georgia il
reported as for Pierce by $4,000. An
other week, we suppose, will give u'
these returns in an an exact and reliable
form.
