1874 the following figures show the relative
strength Of the democracy of thss Gibraltar of

Cay's vote that year was 947; Po.k's was 262

much larger than that of any previous year. 1t

them to abandon their OWN electoral ticket, and
make common cause with the Fremonters, tor the

TIE SOUTHERN VOTE

1t seems settled that the State of Maryland has
thrown away her v1ts on Fillmore She has sep
ara,e1 from her sister Southern States in the Union
and given her !ectoral suffrage in sucn manr er
as to directly aid the party that i, wsgiug violent
war upon her constitutional rights. Nothing has
occssiored more surprise 10 the National Demo.
Gratis of the North than the attitude of the South
ern Fillmore men in the late crisis through which
the country has passed The nature of the issue
involved it was reasonable to suppose would bring
to their aid all Southern men, without distinction
of party; yet, nearly one.hslf of them have prac-
ticalIy been allied with the Abolition sectionalists
of the North.
From the outset it was evident that Mr. Fillmore
had no chance, that every vote given him would
brighten the prospects of Fremont, and yet South
ern editors and Southern politicians have teen mad
enough 10 pers we're 10 his hopeless support. This
either argues deplorable ignorance on their part
of the state of politics. or else they black re-
pubiesns at heart The probability is that both of
these suppositions are, in measure, correct. The
masses were honest and were misled by the Ray
nors Bottses and Marshalls of the South, who are,
in fact black republicans; bat, to whatever cause
their actions may be owing, the democracy of the
forth have much reason to complain of the ingrat-
itude of large portion of the people for whose
constitutional rights they have made such gallant
battle.

~ Now that the political struggle IS over and
tbeIesut clearly demonstrates that the only posi-
biGty for tie defeat Of Fremont was 10 the sup
port of Buchanan, we find large proportion OF
the honestly deluded followers of Mr.. Fillmore in
Tenntss ready to rejoice with US over the TIL
umnb of our candidate and the overthrow OF abo-
Itionism and lis cohorts. The popular mind OF the
State well understood the great pr actcal necessity
of this canvass to be the defeat of that party, and
thousands voted for Mr.. Fillmore honestly beiev-
mo that he WAS the stronger man for the emer-
eency, who would cordially have voted for Mr.
Buchanan could they have seen the relative strengh
of parties as it is now demonstrated to them.
Bat there are some whose hearts cannot rejoice
--Ehose unholy ambition and deceitiul purposes
fad no comfort in national tranquility and healthy
politicsl future-whose barque never prospers upon
a tranquil sea--pohticsl wreckers, who live upon
the casualties Of adverse winds aud the ship
wrecked fortunes of others. There are some even,
who would have had more heart to rejoice over
the triumph of Fremont and his followers, and a
few who are imprudent enough to express 1t.
Thank heaven, they are few, and that the great
masses of the southern people, of all PARTIES can
appreciate the value Of the recent triumph. Let
them rejoice as patriots, as brothers, as freads I;
and let them mark with suspicion the caIous heart
or the disappointed ambition of that map, Who'
while claiming to be soutberner ard TREND 10

SOUTHERN ABOLITIONISTS.

There are two noisy politicians at the South
whose sentiments on the subject of negro slavery,
have long been considered uusouud. We refer to
the Hon. John NJ Botts, of Virginia, and Hon.
Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina. : .spicion
now ripens into reality upon this point Their
letters endorsing the Abohtionist fusion ticket in
ennsylvsnis, the speeches of the last nsmed gen.
tleman in behalf of the Fremont Electoral ticket,
settles this question beyond further doubt or con-
troVersy. While we are able to take good care of
our own bedIamites ace respectfully ask the South
to take Of the abOltionists within her OOn bOr
derS.
This, it must be conceded, is a very reasonable
request otthe PennsylUaMiGn. And we take it that
as regards Virginia aud NORTH Carolina the twen-
ty thousand democratic majority in each will take
care of their abolitionists

PRoFFssoR HENRY ON Acoustics Professor
Henry states that while the principles of sound
have been studied with care for half q century,
these principles have but rarely been applied to
the construction of rooms intended for publ pur-
poses. Whist is wanted is a combination of scien-
ti6c knowledge, the results Of careful nvestigs-
tion till the highest practical skill in determining
the question of the application of acoustic priu
cipies TO public buildings becomes necessary to in
stitute experiments. II expert nenting on prac-
ticsl acoustic it is, according to Prof. Henry, ne.
cessary to place the speaker opposite wall, and
to note the distance at which he ceases to take
cogn;zsnce of the reflection of the sound of his
voice. A wall lined with thin board will produce
q reflection loud but short. A STEEL wall will pro-
duce the highest degree of resonance; so will Q
wall of glass. The principles of acoustics thus
laid down have been applied with success in the
construction of the lecture room in the Smith.

T3E CONTEST IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The returns which pour in from this State (says
the Louisville Tnes) are of the most cheering
character. Mos nobly has Pennsylvania vindi-
Gated her pledge to the democracy OF the Union.
When we notice how thoroughly the tide OF Sec
tionslism and faraticism has swept over New Eng
land, New York, and the Northwestern portion
of the Union, and reflect upon the strenuous ex-
ertions, extraordinary combination, and immenfe
sums of money expended by the opposition, we
feel prouder than ever of glorious old Pennsylva-
MIA. She has proved herself the great impregna-
BILE fortress of constitutional liberty. 1t was
sgaiust her that the fercest assaults were made
Here the treasurers of the opposition--the cor
roptou fund of Black Rspubicsnsm--wss most
layishIy expended. Here presses and veual poll
tcisus were bought up, and here numerous at
tennis were made to bride democratic election
officers. Here Stephens, johnson and WiImot
tricked. trsf6cked and conspred for months, aided
and abetted BY the shrewdest managers OF their
marty. Thurlow Weed, Truman Smith, Ex'GoV.
Ford. etc. Here Sumner qusrtered himself for
the campaign to excite sympathy and commisser'
alton. Here the great orators Of the opposition,
Banks, Burlingame, Wilson, aud host OF others
made their greatest efforts. Here all the fanati-
ci,ms Of the times were leagued against US. Here
was the chosen battle-ground of the Constitution
and the Union; here their foes made their most
desperate fight, and here Black Repusllcaolsm
received It's death blow.

A RICE ELoPEMRNr two BRIDEGRooMs TO ONE
BRIDE The st. Joseph, Mo-, correspondent writ
ing on the 23d of October says:
Last night our gossips were thrown into exta-
cies over an eopement VIII h certainly was one of
a most extraordinary character. 1t seems that two
young gentlemen were addressing young belle
up town, and that she smiled equally upon both.
Yesterday morning she was to be married to one,
and last night to the other, and, strange to say,
she kept both engagements. At 8 A. NJ. one
bridegroom was made happy by her pledge of
hand and heart, and at P. NJ the other was made
happy by the possession of her person. They fed
at DUSK and were welded at Bloomington, just
twelve miles distant, and continued on their way
to realms unknown.
Such is the uncertainty of human bliss, or, in
the elegant words of the bard
There's many slip
Twixt the cup and the lip

t1s- 1t is impossible to calculate, not only the
f,ture chances Of our national existence, bad the
recent election resulted in the elevation OF black
republicans to power, but the immediate effect
that it would have had on every branch OF laIor,
ride and commerce throughout the country. II
is id e to deny that, had such result taken place
General dissatisfaction would now psrvsde the en-
tire south, aud Levy forebodings and distrust hi
the breast of every national man 10 the country.

and determination would be distractng society,
ard 10 the midst of such discord, who can cslcu-
late the general depression 10 business that would

ladies and gentlemen, you feel as deeply as l do,
for after inspecting the barns, cannot find any
evidence OF your industry during my ABSENCE
What is to be done2 We have nothing to eat
and to avoid starvation, one of US must necessarily
