A Looking Glass.

Our readers will recollect that four or
five years ago, Hon. Henry VI. Fuller de-
feated Col Wright for Congress, in vote
ofover Is, ,000, by only 49 majority. Col.
Wright of course didn't Ike it, and "con-
tested" the election, swearing pretty hard
things about Danyille, where they gave
500 or 600 majority against him, and where
he testified he WAS wrongei some $50 votes
or thereabouts. The contest cost, as esti-
mated, some $4,000, consuming four
weeks Of time at Danville alone, aud re-
suited, if we recollect right, in proving
more illegal votes .tor Wright, than against
him. He carried the result to Congress,
which, though largely his political associ-
ates, decided that he was defeated just
about "49" votes!
The New Berliners, mad1ened at their
dcfeat-(aft they had declared that ''ttis
election shall decide the matter forever >
''as the tree falls, so it must lie" &c. y
are following in the footsteps of Col
Wright, in contesting "45" out of 5000
votes. II they paid the costs Of their des-
perate game, it might be endurable but
they Expect to saddleit upon the individuals
they malign, and upon the County Trea-
sury. If carried out upon the scale they
contemplate, S. to $4,000 will be in
posed upon the people in cost Of money

The Public Printing.

A correspondent of the American Democrat,
over the well-known signature of Bolivar"
says, in his letter Of yesterday, as follows
at is rumored in this city that formidable
combination for the public printing is being con-
cocted, by which Thurlow Weed and @. Wendell
may divide the pllnder. We give it for what it is
worth. II there is any truth in it, what common
tary on the parties that have for so many days
found nothing of principle on which to unite
We have heard the same rumor for several
days, and we have heard circumstances stated
leading us to believe that the rumor is true.
We are by no means surprised at the rumor.
1t is well understood that Forney is at the bot
tom of the Democratic nomination for Public
Printer of the House--that he and his associ.
ates have been cunningly concocting schemes
to deceive both the Senate and the House, in
reference to the printing, and it is not unlikely
they may succeed in their schemes and, es-
pecially, if il DO true, as alleged, that some
members of the American party are connected
with that concern.

teen men on board the Resolute, the British dis
covery ship which they picked up abandoned in
the ice. When the two vessels parted company,
they were in about latitude so n, some two de-
grces south Of the spot where the Resolutc was
first found. The Resolute was new vessel when
she left England, was built in the most substantial
manner and was excelently wen found Though
she had been abandoned about q year when Capt
Buddington took possession Of her. her sails, rig
cling, and all her appointments were in good order,
and she would without doubt make the passage
here without delay. When found by Capt. Bud
dington she was at least one thousand miles from
the spot where she was abandoned by her officers
and crew. The British Government may claim the
ship, but really do not believe it. under the cir
cumstances of the case.

Death OF Sir John Franklin.


From report published by the Minnesota Pho
neer and Democrat, we learn somewhat Of the re-
suits of an exploring party, sent by the British
government TO ascertain the fate of Sir John Frank
Inns party. The report says: -
That after being almost crushed in the ice upon
several occasions and escaping other great dangers
they at last reached Montreal Island, where their
exploration commenced, they found snowshoes,
knoyn to be Of English make, with the name Of
DIR. Stanley, who was surgeon of Sir John Frank
klin's ship, the Erebus, cut in them by knife. AT
forwards they found, on the same island, boat
belonging to the Franklin expedition, with the
name, :" Terror" still distinctly visible A piece
Of this boat, containing this name, was brought
along with him by Mr.. Stewart. Among the Rs
quimaux were found iron kettles corresponding in
shape and size with those furnished the Franklin
expedition, and bearing the mark Of the British
government
Other articles, known to have belonged 70 the
expedition, were obtained from the Esquimaur, and
brought by the party for deposte with the British
Government No bodies, however, were found, or
traces Of any. The report Of the Esquimsux was,
that one man died on Montreal Island and that the
balance Of the party wandered on the beach of the
main land opposite, until, worn out by fatigue and
starvation, they, one by one, laid themselves down
and died too.
The EsquimauI reported further that indians,
far to the north Of them, who had seen the ships
Of Franklin's party, and visited them, stated that
they had both been crushed between the icebergs,
Mr. Stewart took especial pains to ascertain whether
the party had come 70 their death by fair means or
foul. But to every inquiry, the Esquimaux pro-
tested that they had died Of starvation.
The party reached 81. Paul on the 18th Of the
present month. ~
