Election in the states.

From the San Francisco Herald, of Dec.
9th, we extract the result Of the recent
elections in the several States, hereunto ap-
MAsSAcHUsETs.-The returns of the
election, Nov. 9Th, from all but nine towns,
give Gardner l4,92S plurality. The Amer
leans have also elected the Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary Of State, Treasurer,
Auditor, and Attorney General, by about
10000 plurality. Chaifee, (American) is
elected to Congress in the 10th district, by
about 1000 plurality. The House stands
l19 Americans, 80 Democrats, IS Wings,
II Republicans and 3 Liberals. The Sen
ate so far as known, stands 23 American
and II Of all other denominations.
New JERsEY.-The result of the election
in the State Of New Jersey, is considered
to be Democratic victory.

other incidental expenses of those employ
cd. We do not know that FIVE dollars day
is given by those engaged in any other me-
chanical ayocation in the territory. Those
employed, meet larger sum, per annum,
(f cautiously disposed Of, than the pro-
prietors, as the books Of the Office will
show. We do not pretend to say, that the
public printing furnishes no source of reve-
nue. to an establishment having it, but we
do say that we are printers, and despse
"rats," and our religious opinion is, if the
public printing falls into the hands of New
Brunswick, New Foundland, Nova Scotia,
Cape Cod or Bosting, that q new mOdus
operandi vii be established, and that labor
will not eceive that reward which it so
justly merritt B.
On the phrt of this Office, we protest that
we have no ambition about it. We have
ever professed to be Irregular liner" and
only ask the favor of those who belong to
our political faith. If our friends in the
legislature have any regard, or attach any
Importance to the course we have pursued
rather than be deceived by flashy, non
committal-pizzerinctum-we had rather
that they give their suffrage for straight
out opposition organ. Our reasons are
these The present editor and publisher
of the Courier has invested the means of
the labor of some three years for the pur-
pose Of establishing an organ opposed to
the democratic party. He has worked
faithfully for the position he occupies and
the material to consummate the success of
his enterprise. For over three years, ICE
have been here-have battled for the in
terests of the territory-have braved all
species Of privations-have been unceasing
in laboring for the welfare of the party,
and whatever We are, or have at stake, we
have earned Does the legislature intend
to give a bonus to an outsider TO break
down and exterpate the best friends the
territory has ever hadl Do that body want
to tTibe men to commence q business un-
known to them, to the ruin of othersY Do
they want men who will sell themselves, to
guide public journal? Do they want re-
creants to assume the position Of Journal
istsf If so, there are plenty. We have
nothing more to say

The SURVEYING STEAMER AcrIvE.-To
Capt ALDEN, of the above named steamer,
we are indebted for file Of the San Fran
cisco Herald, up to Dec 9TH With the ex-
ception Of the news from Nicaragua, it is
otherwise unimportant. Gen. WALKER has
quiet military possession Of the country at
present, but serious troubles are anticipated
at no distant day.
In the name Of the people Of the terrific
ry, we welcome Capt ALDEN and the Aet-
ire, to the waters of the Sound. As will
be seen by the following from the San Fran
cisco Herald. she left that city with supplies
Of arms and provisions for our troops, in the
present Indian war and that for the present
she will remain on the Sound, for the pro-
lection Of its inhabitants. 1t will also be
seen that another sloopofwar, the Vinoennes,
should it be necessary, will also join the ser
vice here. The Aetire, we understand, is at
present on visit Of inspection to the differ
eht Indian reservations (where the Indians
supposed to be friendly have been cougrega-
ted, at different Islands along the Sound.

SUPPLIES OF Arms AND Provisions FOR THE
TRooPs UNDER GENERAL WooL--From the
Office Of the United States Naval Agent in
this city, we learn that the United States
Surveying steamer Active will sail to-day,
with arms and commissaFy stores for the use
Of the troops under General Wool, in Ore
gon. The active will probably remain in the
vicinity of Fort SteAacoom, to. o.render assist
ance to General Wool in transporting troops
and munitions of war. The United States
sloop-ofwar Vincennes will sail shortly for
