THE ELECTIONS.

The Democracy sweep the States Of New Jersey,
Maryland and Mississippi, as they had just before
the States CT Ohio and Pennsylvania, by monster
msiorities. Scarce vestge Of whiggery remains
to tell that there had once been such party in exis
tence.
In New York, only, the split in the democratic
ranks has enabled the Seward men to succeed
This result was foreseen by everybody. Full re-
turns win show that the wings are as weak in New
York as any where else, and that they suceeedeu
only through the division Of the democratic parry
The democratic candidates for Judges OF the Court
of Anneals who were on both tickets are elected
The wings elect the remainder Of the State ticket
The rssrlt secures the reelection of WILLIAM III
Sr,r .Rn 10 the United States Senate.

II any on> Argument more than another in favor
OF tins road should have consideration it is that it
would save to the people of the State, in t,celay
years an lie article Of Stone Coal alone more than
the cost Of ITS construction that is instead of pan
'Hg out millions Of money to other States Cor dis
article, 1t would be yeceired for the ~ o.c of or
own mines 1t is not an unreasgE..Dle calculation,

age for that period ,e nations of Bushels then at
the moderate price Of eight cents per bushrl yyo,ld
amount t. four hundred thousand dollars Der auuum
which ia twenty years would make the SUN of
eiyhtmdions OF dollars; sum more than sufficient TO
build and equip the whole road
The suspension of many of the work shops in

Hoes, Prices, &c-The market here, well as
elsewhere, is unsettled, and the buyer and seller
cannot come to terms. The nominal rates have been
cents net, but buyers are now refusing 10 make
engagements at over 48 cents. The only transac-
ton that we have heard of this week has been made
by packer, who sold 5000 hogs at ) cents, to be
taken off the hooks by the purchaser We hear al
so of 5000 green hams at : cents. Its estimated
that -, 600 hogs will be slaughtered at Jefferson
vile and New Albany this season and 275,O00 in
this city, making a total of 100000 round the
Falls
The receipts of hogs are quite heavy from all
points and we notice that Teeter, Maxey Co,
have received several thousand head, and will com
mence killing as soon as the weather turns cold.
The Shelby NeioS reports sale OF 200 head at
81, and that holders are firm at that figure refusing
offers of 50 S7J
The Bardstown Herald hears of sales in Mercer
at 81 gross and quotes So so as the highest offer in
Nelson a decline is anticipated in that section.
} Mansur & Sons have purchased, for $4,000,
- l. Riythe's pork-packing establishment in In
dlanapols, and have made arrangements TO Kill and
pack this season $4,000 hogs They have killed
none yet, though they have been buying for some
time They are paying 81 so The number Of hogs
killed in indianapolis this season Will far exceed
that Of any previous season.-Lou. Com.

would differ from that-unSucceSSful effort, lIEaS-

anxious to trade with us, they beginning TO tire

thing which was never known before There, is
however some opposition to the plan as a i,,nt

again repeat-why did you not tel US this be-
fore? Why did You Keep it back, until you were
goaded to the quick, and compelled to come out?
Especially, why did you not candidiy and openly
come out and make it known to the meeting of
stockholders in May, 1852 That meeting you
know, was very large and as you found very lib
eral-and could, no doubt if apprized of an en-
barrassed situaton-have authorized you TO hold
back the interest to stockholders until the road
in a more prosperous situation. Bot will that time
ever come under your administration? No, never
because you have lost the confidence of so many,
and have deceived them so often and egregious-
ly in your reports that they cannot trust you any
longer
To show your continued aptitude of disposition
to misrepresent and deeeiye-I need only to reca-
pitulate the following statements from your three
last reports: In December, 1852, you said the
Shelbyve branch had only cost $50, 8l2. You now
say it has cost $780, 900. All the work done on it
since December, 1852 at Boman's hill, and other
repairs, cannot possibly exceed $4,000 So that in
this one item you have made mistake OF IL 600
What more Of your laundering OF a recent dater
Why, in December, 1852, you stated the whole cost
Of the road and fixtures when finished, at SOIL
O00-leaving a surplus on hand of about $50 600
besides the $50 600 profits of the road for the first
half of this year In your first answer to me- pub
lished 10Th October, 1853, you say, 'if the full
amount of bonds authorized by the Company to be I
issued and the whole amount used the whole .
amount of expenditure would not exceed s35OO,- !
OOO" In your last report you state it at S37l4,- [
900. Seeing all this how can you suppose that we
should believe any Of you statements?
Stockholders: Are you aware that our road is
n0W governed by, and at the mercy OF, one of the
most fearful moned aristocracies ever known in
Tennessee? Look at il, and examine well the fol-
lowing tripartite combination Of wealth against us
