LEn, the wings were willing to sacrifice
every othor object, and deliberately desor.

which the wings everywhere supported
him, and have since rejoiced over his cleo.
liqpsttis fair to presume that they had

Movrpru, Oct. oi.--Tho Herald OF
lhs morning has lhc following IN outcN.
lra of yesterday evening, We informed the
public that q rumor was current in town
lhbl Tho remains ofSir John Franklin, and
of bis crow and thor sh.ps, had boon dis.
covered. We Immediately despatched a
special messenger TO the Hudson Bay com.
pony's house, at Lnchne, and through the
kindness Of the Governor, Sir Geo. Simp.
son, aro enabled to lay before our readers
the following outlines Of a dispatch rccci.
we'd by him yesterday from DR.. Rae.
DR.. Roc has been absent on the coast
since the first Of the month Of June, 1853,
and returned TO York Factory on the 25th
'ofAUgust last, from whence he forwarded
letters by express to Sir George Simpson,
via tho Red river settlement.
After briefly noticing tho result Of his
own expedition, and the difficulties with
which they had to contend, he proceeds
70 state that from EsquimopX he had OBJ
taned certain Information Of the fate Of
Sir John Franklin's expedition who had
been starved to death after the Iossor their
ships which were crushed in the ice, and
while making their way south to the great
Fish river orBuck, near the outlet of which
a party of whites died, leaving accounts
Of their sulerings on the muliIatcd corpses
Of some which bad evidently furnished
food to their unfortunate companions.
This information, although not derived
from the Esquimaux who had communi-
Gated with the whites, and who found their
remains, but from another band, who OBJ
tancd her details UiUa Vocc, may yet be
relied on. No doubt is left of the truth Of
the report, as the natives had in their pos.
session various articles Of European man
uhcturo which had been in possession Of
the whites. Among these are silver
spoons, forks, &C., on one Of which is en-.
gruyed "Sir John Franklin, X. c. b."
while the others have crests and initials on
them which identify the owners as having
belonged to the ill.lated expodilion.-
Drawings of some ofthcse have been sent
down.
This fearful tragedy must have occur.
red as long ago as the spring Of 1850.
The foregoing embraces all the par,ic-
ulars as yet known in this city.

6TWe have now received the o6iciaL
result Of the recent election from all The
counties. Pollock's majority is about 3D..
600: Blacks about $4,000; and Motifs

tive BY 5000 majority. We are sorry for
ths; but feel perfectly innocent Of the
gTRJdcy. Our readers will remember that,
early last Spring, we raised our feeble

with politics in any shape or form. The

took the same ground. In fact, it requir.

course must be fatal 10 the ultimate sue

have always been, and v yse principles
YOU have ever defended. Your letter
poremplorily and positively denying all

satisfactory at the time it appeared, but
notwithstanding This broad aud emphatic

know how son9itjyely you feel any impu.

suspicion is-we know how ardentIy you
cherish the Democratic party--we know
that you would scorn 10 belong to any

how much you arc opposed to all secret
combinations for political puposes-we
know, TOO, that in your own county Of
Pike, you were tho bold, active, and pub.
lie opponent of know.N .Nothingism, as the
result Of the lNtc election in that county
will show. We know that night and day
before that election, you were engaged in
contradicing the declaration that you
belong to this Order, and rallyng your
colleagues on tho Democratic ticket. We
know finally, how proudly you can re.

degree affecting your standing as a Dem.
