twenty-six. These forty-nino added to the
sixty-one already elected, will give them IN
the next House one hundred and ten mem
bers-so that they must gain in the States
vet to vote eight members 10 give them a
clear majority of the House. The estimate
of this gain proceeds upon the presumption
that Americans and every form Of opposi-
tion to the so-ealled Democracy is crushed
out and annihilated in the South.
Is this so? The Presidential election
does not show it. The Democratic major
tiles are not in so large a pre- ortion to
the opposition vote as the presen, majority
in Congressional delegations. In Mary
land, California, and Louisiana, and North
Carolina, and Georgia, the Administration
party are more likely to lose than to gain; |;
in the remaining States there is no proba-
bility of any material change.
1t may be premature to assert that the
South will repel the designs of the section
al plotters who, upon the single issue, the
zone idea" of Slavery, are seeking TO alien
ate and isolate those States from the Union; /;
but time will develop the existence tt re of
conservative party, and whatever its
name. it will be opposed to the Democ-
racy as embodied in the next Administra-
ton. The elections take place in May and
August next, allowing an interval of time
quite sufficient for extensive changes of
public opinion.

CHEATING IN Coal Nearly all the

CHEATING IN Coal Nearly all the
dealers in coal, in Cincinnati, have been
found ont, cheating in weight. The In
spector of Weights and Measures, who
was sent around to examine, testifes:
THAT he tested all the two-bushel meas
ures he could find in the coal yards, which
are used in the sale of coal. Startling as it
may appear, he fond but t'co dealers acho
had used honest measures"
The investigation has resulted in charges
in the Police Court against at least do
zen dealers. The Commercial says
"Some of the measures found in other
yards are said to be outrageously scant.
One two-bushel measure was short over a
peck and others were not far behind it.
"The visit of the City Inspector caused
quite sensation among the coal dealers,
and since the result of that visit has been
made known, quite feeling exists in rela-
ton to the matter. People feel that it is
bad enough to be forced to pay extortion-
ate prices for fuel, without being cheated in
the quantity"
Wonder if an Inspector would not be of
considerable benefit to coal consumers in
this region? If the bed of a wagon does
hold say S5 bushels when full, it is no rea-
son why one should ay for that amount
when it is only three-fourths full.

PRoGREss IN CANaDA-Two events have Just
been noted in Canada, which show the progress
sive Development OF that region. One is the
completion and opening of the Grand Trunh
Railway, and the other the establishment of
regular mail between the head of Lake Supe-
rior and the Fur Company's posts on Hudson
Bay. The first of these is the most important.
Five years ago there ives scarcely hundred
miles of railway in Canada, and now there are
nearly two thousand miles. The Grand Trunk
line is 672 miles long, all built and most ready
for Use. 1t will be the great main thoroughfre
of trade and travel east and west through Cana
da. 1t affords basis upon which is destined
to be built system of railways, running north
and west, to open upt settlement the vast inte-
rior wilderness of British America. Already a
commencement has been made at this by the
construction of the branch leading to Penn
broke, Oh the Ottawa river, and doubtless, be-
fore many years we shall find a atributary of the
Grand Trunk reaching TO the British side of
Lake Superior. The growth of population and
trade in Canada is of great importance to our
own lake ports, which maintain a lucrative COM
meree Herewith. The establishment of reg
ular mail between Hudson's Bay and the head
OF Lake Superior, is precursor of the settle
ment OF that remote region. In Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota such rapid progress
has been made in settling the country border
ing Lake Superior. that population has already
reached the North Shore.

Candidates.

A portion of the Republican and American
press, still adhere to their late candidates. The
Republicans for Col. Fremont, and the Ameri-
cans for Fillmore in 1860. In their comments
upon the result of the election. they express,
(with but few exceptions) the same general
views, and utter the same regrets. The Repub-
lieans say if the Americans had voted for Fre-
mont and Dayton they would have been elect
hand, say that if the Republicans had voted for
Fillmore and Donelson, they would have been
elected, which is also true. But as they did not
thus VOTE neither are elected, but Buchanan and
Breckenridge have been. So long as the Amer
lean papers keep the name of Fillmore at their
mast head for 1860, and the Republicans do the
same for Col Fremont, it will be difficult to
come TO an smicable understanding. They
may agree generally in regard 10 principles,
bu: will disagree about men, which disagree
men:. if continued, will be fatal, and result ve-
ry likely in 1860, as it did in 1885, viz: in the
defeat of both, and in the triumph of the COM
mon enemy. We submit then, whether ii be
not wise to say nothing about future candidates
for the present, but that we devote our time and
energies to the discussion of our principles, and
endeayor to strengthen and consolidate public
opinion in our favor, and when the time comes
TO nominate candidates. put up the man who can
best carry his country.-O. S. Journal

T Kossuth was to visit Manchester,
on the lIth inst, where large company
were to meet him, though, according to
his own request, no public demonstration
would be made. 1t is Just five years since
Kossulh first arrived in Manchester. The
entire profits of the lectures delivered are
to be handed over by the committee of the
distinguished Hungarian patriot.
w 1t is rumored in high European
circles that marriage is on the tapis be-
tween Victor Emanuel, King of Sardinia,
and the grand Duchess Maria, widow of the
Duke of Leuchtenberg, now in her twenty
sixth year, This Princess is at present at
Nice with the Empress Dowager, of Rus

N The London Star says that "Dr.
Kane's visit to England is for the sole pur-
pose of placing his services at the disposal
of Lady Franklin, to command a private
Arctic expedition" This reason assigned
for DR.. Kane's visit we do not think at all
probable.
@ The official Journal at Athens says
that King Otho Is ''neither physically nor
morally in such state of health as to rem
der his presence there necessary" This
announcement created excitement in the
Greek Senate, where Senator tore up the
paper containing the lines quoted.
H The Courier des Etats Unis SAYS
that in city of Belgium, extravaganza has
assumed such alarming proportions that
ladies themselves have been Obliged to
combine for the purpose of arresting its
disastrous progress. 1t appears that ex-
travagance has been for some years
source of constraint in families; and it was
noticed, no marriages were contracted,
since the young men frightened at the bills
that loomed up in the distance, preferred
to live in celibacy.
The mothers, recognizing the inconveni-
ence of a state of affairs encouraged by
themselves, have resolved to bring about q
salutary reform, and with this view they
have formed committees which meet once
a week. They have declared open war
with extravaganza, and every member an
nounees publicly the retrenehments made
in her household expenses.

NEw YoRK-The returns of the election in
New York Stale show some curious results
The Democratic vote for Buchanan is ls4, ,70S,
being H,0l9 more than the combined vote for
the Hard and Soft Democratic candidates in
1855, which was l5O,6S9. The Fillmore vote is
l24.656, being 23,90l less than the vote for
Headley, American, in the year 1855. The Re-
publican vote is 275.S55. being 139l57 more
than Republican vote at the State election last
year. 1t is thus evident that, as the Democratic
vote has largely increased, aud the American
vote has fallen off comparatively little, the ex-
citemen. of the canvass must have called forth
a large vote not usually polled. Adding the
23.90l decrease of American votes TO the Re-
publican column Of last year, the total would
only be 160, $50, OF 5.256 less than the Repub-
liean vote polled this year. A natural deduc-
tion from this is, that the Free Soil sentiment
In New York State has been in large maiori-
" for several years past but that the vote could
not be got out The old Van Buren, Barn
burner or Free Soil party, does not seem to
have gone 10 any extent into the Soft organiza-
tion, and as the old antipathy to Wing organi
cations was still strong. the greater part appear
to have abstained from voting But they have
all voted this time, as i: was well understood
beforehand they would do.

Just So.

The st. Louis Leader, Buchanan paper,
is extravagant in its joy over the vote in
Southern Illinois. In eleven counties Mr..
Buchanan received ll,sIs votes, and Mr..
Fremont, 353. According to the census
of 1850, more than two-thirds of the white
male adults in these eleven counties could
neither read nor write. The Leader SAYS !:
ssThe Northerners-the offscourings of all
the filth of New England Black Republi-
canism-afect to sneer at the ignorance of
the inhabitants OF the Southern part of the
State, but the best proof of their intelligence
is, that they know how to vote" And, on
the other hand, the best proof of their want
of intelligence is, that they do not possess
the means of informing themselves-two-
thirds Of the voters there not knowing one
letter from the other. The Leader wishes
it could find little more of such ignorance
at the North. If the whole State was like
the Southern portion, wouldn't it be beau
ty for Democracy and intelligence?
The 9th Congressional district in that
State is pattern of patriotism and intelli-
gence. There are in it according to the
census of 1850, almost 10000 persons who
can neither read nor write-nearly all en-
lgrants from the Slave States. We may
therefore expect that they will soon follow
the example of Berks county, Pennsylva-
mis-, declare themselves opposed to all schools

F Several of the Southern Governors
in their Messages, and quite number of
the Southern Buchanan papers, advocate
the re-opening of the Slave trade. They
claim the election of Buchanan as verdict
in its favor. A number of Slavers have
within a year or two past been fitted out in
the harbors at New York and Boston, of
which the Government of Mr.. Pierce had
timely notice to have prevented their leav-
ing, but it winked at this violation of the
laws of humanity and man, and these YES
sells are now off in search of more victims
to slavery.
