The Chancellor of the Exchequer ON the
Election of Fremont.

Sir G. Cornwall Lewis, Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, presided recently at the Radnowshre Farmers
dinner, at Knghton, and in the course Of his speech
public newspapers, of very startling character,
namely, that he, IN his capacity of Chancellor of the
Exchequer, had employed no less than 95 100000 Of
the public money for the purpose of influencing the
return OF the President of the United States This
statement had been gravely put forth by some por-
ton OF the public press of the United States, and
from those newspapers transferred to the news
papers of Britain He must confess that in his ipno
rance he had been under the impression that the loan
of f5 000 900 TO which reference was made contract
ed in the latter part of May last for the purpose
Of defrayng the remaining expenditure of the by
bringing home the sVmaments by sea and land but
it however appeared that he had been mistaken and
that that sum intended to secure the return of
Colonel Fremont to the Presidential chair of the Uni
ted States.
He remembered, among the traditions of contested
elections that, at election in Yorkshire, each Of
the candidates was said to have expended from
ESQ., 900 to 100000 which had always been consd-
erod enormous; but such an expenditure shrank into
nothing as compared with the of 45 600 000 to
secure the return of the President of the United
States. But the Americans had very elevated mo-
tons. In comparing their lakes with lakes they
said that ours were but mere mudpools, and that
the Thames was but mere brook in comparison with
the Mississippi Missouri and so be presumed they
measured their expense Of contested elections by a
similar standard, and thought nothing of applying
the sum of 20 600 to the return of candidate for
the Presidential chair. But however that might be
he could say that If the return of Colonel Fremont
was TO depend upon the application Of this sum of
rs, 100000, he would not recommend that gentleman
to be very sanguine about his success

Among the letters read at the Brooks dinner at

Perhaps il may not be unacceptable in closing this
letter to say few words to my fellow-citizens OF

ton of the country.
None can mistake, or, In the South can remain IN

majority the one side, and sworn faith TO awrtten

But in reverse of all this, should dominant sec

Medical UItraism.

counsellors sickness would be unknown in this age
of 80 called pathological discoveries. The homGpa-
thists tell us that the salvation of lives III sick
ness depends upon intinitesima doses and Infinite
dilution; the Undergraduates profess to rain health
upon us from shOwer-baths, or soak disease out OF
us with wet blankets; while still newer set of ex-
cusives propose buryinE us up TO the armplts in the
earth putting both feet in the grave, as II Were by

and mineralists, who believe in nothing but mercury

for all these theorists that they show practical
proof Of the assumed infabty of their methods OF

The Union party has thus gained 4,7s5
votes in the above counties, more than the
gains by Buchanan.
The above estimate does not include the city
Of Philadelphia, in which the returns show a
present majority Of 2286 for the Buchanan Ca
Lal Commissioner
Last year Plumers majority in the city was
2,514, and unless the wards to be heard from
increase the Buchanan majority, the loss in the
city will be about 800. The net gain, there
fore, from the returns already received, in ia
vor of the Union ticket, is about 4,786 over
the vote of last year, when Plumer was elected
by a plurality Of II ,536 votes. Ifthis be cor
rect, the Union ticket has now only 1000 ma
jority to overcome in forty-odd counties! Our
belief is, that the Uuion ticket has succeeded
by a majority ranging from 10000 to 10000
votes. We shall see.
One Of the most gratifying circumstances
connected with the election is the fact that in
the county of Mr.. Buchanan's residence Q4an-
caster) the Unio ticket has gained about 800
votes upon the election Of last year.
We shall make no comments to-day upon
the atrocious, palpable, most damnable and
extensive corruptions which have been prac-
tised by the Buchananites in this contest. We
await letters from our friends in Pennsylvania
giving us facts and details; but this we may
say, that if the Buchanan ticket has prevailed
in Pennsylvania, (Which we do not by any
means believe, but which may, nevertheless,
be true,) it has been carried by an amount of
bribery, treachery, and general rascality, which,
If equally divided among the parties to it,
would be sufficient to justify the condemna-
ton Of one thousand of them to the penitcn-
tiary during life. We doubt not, from infor-
nation given us, that more than half million
OF dollars have been expended in this contest
by the friends of Buchanan.
