-
EsTucKY-The Times speaking Of the
late elections in Louisville says that the vote
was small, not sufficient to indicate the
strength of the parties. The foreign vote
was not more than half polled on account Of
an apprehension that the natives were pre-
pared to prevent them. The native party
carried their ticket throughout, and wontheir
neighbors' money at the same time. AS to
the morality Of winning money in this way
the parties can determine for themselves.
ALABAMA.-In In an election for two county
officers, and Commissioners Of Revenue for
Mobile, the vote did not amount to half the
elective strength Of the county.
The Register says that not the slightest
political feeling was involved. II is true that
there had been some talk of ''secret consPira-
cies', by the "Know Nothings" to show their
strength, but if such was the case, it was
most decisive failure. For the gentlemen
who were chosen, our naturalized citizens O
every origin and denomination-lrish, Cath
olics, etc.-voted as freely as any others
and SO If they were the favorites Of the
.'Know Nothings," they were Of every Other
class also. No one of them is known to be
long to the "secret faction" or to adopt 1T
doctrines. They are about equally, eWhig'
and Democrats, and no party triumph OF any
kind can be predicated upon their. election
VIRGNIA.-B. II. Smith, whig, has beer
elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Snodgrass, Democrat.

restore q Bourbon to the French throne
Even Spain reviyes and raises the cry Of
Liberty. And though placemen may rob
the revolution Of its legitimate fruits, yet a
revolt in the name Of Liberty will have its
effect throughout Europe. Italy grows res
tive again. Hungary is not yet dead and
an Austrio Anglo-Franco Alliance may lead
to very different results from those which the
Royal Conspirators of Europe wish to bring
about. At any rate, all the indications now
are, that the war is scarcely begun.

The MORNING MERcURT.-This is the
name Of a new triweekly paper published in
Jackson, Miss. by Mr.. T. G. Jones, the former
associate of Mr. Barlzsdale in the Mfssissiro-
plan. The Mercury presents neat appear
unee, aud bears evidence of ability iu its edi-
torial articles, and also in its general arrange
ments. From the number before lis we are
inclined to think that the Mercury wilf at
once take its position amongst the leading
Journals Of the State, and that the promise
to make it Newspaper in the most compre-
hensive sense of the term will be fulfilled to
the letter. Mr.. Jones issues also weekly
paper called the Southern Mercnry, the price
which is two dollars and fifty cents per an
num-the price of the tri-weekly being FIVE
dollars. We wish Mr. j. all reasonable sue
cess in his arduous undertaking and sincere
ly hope that he may command success, for he
certainly deserves it.

congress Adjourned.


On the 7th inst Congress adjourned until
the first Monday of December next. The
closing Of the session was attended with the
usual hustle and excitement. The ruling
passion Of members to squander time was
strong in the expiring moments Of the ses-
sion.
The report of the Minnesota Investigating
Committee, fully exonerated Col. j. w. For
ney, clerk Of. the House, from all censure or
foul imputation, butin the face of these facts
the valiant Col. Hunt Of Louisiana (ambi-
tious we suppose of gaining some notoriety
before he went home) offered resolution ex
pelling Forney from the House. The yeas
and nays were called, and out Of body
composed of two hundred and thirty four
members, sirteep members were found voting
to sustain Col. Hunts motion. After the
persevering ISLANDERS Of the Wing and Aboli-
ton members, only corporal's guard could
be raised for the work of malicious destruc-
ton! Sixteen members-aIl told!! As a
MATES of curiosity, their names should be
preserved. Here is the list! Me Aber-
combie, Bennett. Carpenter, Cox, Flagler,
Grey, Hill, Hunt, Letcher, MiIlson, Parker,
Powell, Stuart, Wheeler and Aiken.
Among the most important of the bills
passed and approved are:
The regular Appropriation bills.
The Kansas and Nebraska bill.
The bill providing for six first class war
steamers.
The ten million bill Of. the Gadsden treaty.
The Homestead bill for Kansas & Nebraska.
The bill extendingthe warehousing system.
The bill to give effect to the Canadian re-
ciprocity treaty.
The bill repeating the Minnesota Railroad
Land bill.
The increased appropriations to the army
and navy, and especially to the Notifications
on the Atlantic seaboard, have about them a
decided smell of gunpowder. The uncer-
tainties of the European war, and the revolu-
ton in Spain, have evidently impressed the
two houses with the Importance of being
ready for brush with the enemy, whoever
he may prove to be, and wherever he may
turn up. :
: In addition 10 the csFaiogsie Of acts passed
by the two houses, the Senate in their diplo-
matte capacity, in conjunction with the exc
cutive department, have passed number o.
acts, in the form of treaties with several for
eign nations and various Indian tribes, the
most conspicuous of which are
The Gadsden treaty.
The British Colonial Reciprocity treaty.
The Commercial treaty with Japan.
The Neutrality treaty with Russia.

ELECTIONS.

II Observation-Disclosures from the late election
in this State show that Thos. FL. Benton has
been Overwhelmingly defeated for Congress
by the whig candidate, t. n. Kennett. It is
understood that Kennett was the choice Of
the Know Nothings, and received the undi
vided support Of that party in the city of st.
Louis. The election was embellished by a
riot between the natives and the foreigners,
the cause Of which is ascribed by the Daily
Democrat to the Americans. The extent Of
the riot can be judged of from the following
extracts:
:. Here (between Main street and the Levee.
on Morgan for awhile the mob was scene of
The widest excitement. The Irish firedas many
perhaps, as hundred pistohshots into the crowd
who were breaking in the doors and windows of
the houses by showers of stones from the street.
At last the shooting was silenced. and the mob
proceeded down to the Leyee and along it to Lo-
Gust street, assailing every coffee house or tene-
ment supposed to contain foreigners, with a
continued storm of missiles.
After this the Irish made another stand on
Second street, above Fourth, and assailed num-
Der of heuses, completely ridding the doors and
windows with stones and brickbafs. When we
left the scene, quiet seemed to be in a very fair
tvnysof being restored, the military having COM
Eplefe possession of the street, and seeming de-
ternined TO enforce order.
1t is utterly impossible TO estimate the num-
ber of persons wounded In the whole affair. We
saw at least twenty men lying bleeding and
wounded SO severely that they were perfectly in
sensible their faces cut horribly and skulls
mashed, and some appearing perfectly dead and
then we have learned Of three men certainly kil-
led. and of five or six more who are thought 10
be dead at this time from wounds received.
L. isa wonder to Us, when we remember the
number of shots fred and the exposed position
Of the mob, that there were not double the per-
sons killed and wounded.a

We learn from the Natchez Courier that
Col. Pickett, of the Free Trader, recently
had a difficulty with Francis Marschalk; the
former firing upon the latter, but without eff
feet The case was examined by the Mayor,
and Col. P. bound over in the penalty in the
sum of 81, 900 TO keep the peace for six
months. Marschalk at the same time, was
required to give bond for $4,000 to appear
and answer for misdemeanor, but he is now
at large, and the officers find some difficulty
in ascertaining his whereabouts.

The River nmd EHRr bOr IBhll.
Long before the passage Of this measure,
and as soon a. it became evident that il
would ultimately pass Congress, the Demo-
cratic press, or that portion Of it processing
and practising fidelity to the Constitution,
spoke out in united opposition to its prin-
ciples and denounced II as unfair and uncon-
stitutionaI.
When it became evident that majority in
Congress favored this monstrous acheme for
draining the Treasury, and using the public
funds for the furtherance and promotion Of
sectional enterprises and local interests, the
democracy Of the country turned to the Pres
ident for deliyeranoe; knowing that princi-
pie existed in our policy, to say nothing Of
illustrious precedent, by which the President
would be guided in his deliberations on the
subject and upon which he would ground a
righteous veto. The result Of the business
shows that the people trusted not in vain,
that their confidence was well founded and
their interests strongly guarded and protec-
ted. The President has proved himself the
man for the times-the staunch friend of the
Constitution and the country; blind to par
tiality, and influenced by wise andcompre-
henstve policy.
In his veto message the President says:
4 "On such an examination of this bill as it
has been in my power to make, | recognize
in il certain provisions national in their char
acter, and which, if they stood alone, itwould
b9 compatible with my convictions of public
duty to assent to, but, at the same time, it
embraces others which are merely local, and
not, in my judgment warranted by any safe
or true construction of the constitution.
To make proper and sound determinations
between these different provisions would re-
quire deliberate discussion of general prin.
ciples, as well as careful scrutiny of details,
for the purpose of rightfully applying t ose
principles to each separate item of appropria
ton.
Public opinion with regard to the value
and Importance of internal Improvements in
the country is undivided. There is a dispo-
sition, on all hands, to have them prosecuted
with energy, and to see the benefits sought
to be attained by them fully realized.
The prominent point of difference between
those who have been regarded as the friends
of system Of internal improvements by the
general governmet and those adverse to such
a system, has been one of constitutional pow
er, though more or less connected with con-
siderations of expediency.
Ny own judgment, it is we'll known, has,
on both grounds, been opposed to "a general
system of internal improvement" by the fed
leral government. / have entertained the
most serious doubts, from the inherent diff
culties Of its application, as well as past un-
satisfactory experience, whether the power
,couldsbe sOaexereised by gopepaa goseerns
ment as to render its use advantageous either
to the country at large, or efectual for the
accomplishment of the object contempla-
ted. ~

The GREAT RIVER MAIL-The Memphis
Appeal, learns that the contract for carrying
the mail from LouisviIleand St Louis to New.
Orleans, has been awarded to a company in
New York, who are energeticaliy engaged in
making preparations to perform the service.
Its said that they contracted for three fine
boats, on the LoaO pressure principle, to cost
$165-000 each, and have engaged for the ap-
preaching season, commencing in November,
several of our FIRST class Mississippi Steamers,
to carry the mail until an entire feet Of fine
boats can, be built. The lettings were closed
according to tie advertisement published in
that paper on the goth uIt. When this con-
tract commences, continues the Appeal, we
may reasonably expect to receive our river
mails with more regularity and speed. This
mail has been long demanded by the com
merce of the Valley of the Mississippi, and
if it be put in operation as contemplated, We
shall then begin to hope for something like a
fun measure of justice from the government.
