The Election

Is over and we are not sorry. An exciting
canvass like the one we have just passed
through is monoroliser of time and print
ing to fatiguing extent, and it is always a
relief to US when the last ballot goes into the
box. We have been so much interested and
occupied that we have devoted little time to
the paper, which suffers therefrom this week
We shall hope to get Strengthened out next
Of course we can throw very little light
upon the result, the returns of our own coun-
ty not being canvassed yet. Reports are
given to the extent received, and they indi
cate result very similar to the last State
election in 1857, the democrats ,aving very
slight gains. not sufficient. however, to give
them the State. We have no fears of that
result.
The democracy have made desperate ef-
fort. The Administration and the whole
horde Of office-holders and seekers have spent
time, labor, and money without stint, and
their stumpers have perambulated the State
from centre to circumference, everywhere
poisoning the atmosphere with falsehoods
and calunny such as only they could or
would originate, but, we are confident, with.
out perceptible affect. They are again beat
en-, we feel sure, by a handsome majority.

The canvass in this county was nobly
fought by the Republicans in tire county, and
they merited success. They did their duty,
and showed clearly that the extravagance
charged by the Democrats to the Republican
State Administration was chargable in fact
to the Democratic County Administration.
where A mills has been the tax, while the
State was only II mills. But a majotity of
the voters ofthe county, with this fact staring
them in the face, have deliberately decided
against them, thereby establishing the fact
that the cry of extravagance was raised to
injurc the Republican Party, and not for the
purpose Of ascertaining the real causes and
authors of high taxes, and inflicting upon
them the punishment which they deserved.
No fact was ever more clearly established,
than the prodigality and wasteful extrava-
gance of the present management of the
affairs of this county, but party majority
has decided to continue the same men in
Office, and in fact endorsed high levies, ex-
pensive privies, extra clerk hire, &C., and we
hope will grumble no more about hard times
and oppressive taxation. There is beauti-
full propriety in the poor farm proposition
1t is an institution we may all need.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.--As was
to be expected, the first premium for best
Business Penmanship," and the first pre-
MUM for best "Book Keeping were awarded
at the late United State Fair to BRYANT
BELL & SrRArroNs COMMERCIAL COLLEGE
Indeed, in these departments this popular in
stitution deties all competition, as the Prin
cipals themselves are at the very head o.
their profession, and bring to their aid a corps
ofteachers in every branch, of the highest
talent and superior qualifications.
In the really elegant exhibition at the Fair,
bythese gentlemen, was splendid an dcostly
picture, some six feet in length, beautifully
illustrating their "Great chain of National
Commercial Colleges which the Chicago
Institution constitutes prominent link, rep.
resenting temple of the Grecian order with
its arch supporting the chain, in the links Of

graphs of the several College buildings as
located in the cities of Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, and
Detroit.
The design was very ingenious, yet chaste
and tasteful; the execution by gliding and
enclosing on glass-a comparatively new
art-was mastery; presenting work most
elegant and rich, which commanded the adj
miration and elected the encomiums of all
the visitors to the great Hall of Art.
The marked success this institution h IS
achieved in its speciality, places it in the very
front rank Of its Glass; and its just claims on
the support of the public, we a e glad to see
are acknowledged by the bestowal Of pat
ronage entirely unparalleled in the country.
The FORTUNES OF NIGEL.-By Sir Walter
Scott. Being the twelfth volume of T. B.
Peterson & Brothers, cheap weekly issue of
Waverly Novels for the Million.
The worldwide reputation of the Waverly
Novels will incur ready sale Of this cheap
edition, and prove, we trust, remunerative to
the enterprising publishers. 1t is common
dable to do anything that will, even in a
small degree, stay the present raging appe-
tite for pernicious light reading. By salts
flying the cravings of those who desire fiction
with some of the healthiest of its order, is
preventing evil, and negatively, at least, do
ing good. There are no works of the imag-
ination which can SO effectually accomplish
this as the novels Of Sir Walter Scott. They
to say nothing more, are harmless. 1t is
even astonishing that through so many VOL
umes there should be found so little that re-
ligion or morality would disprove. For beau
ty of expression, vividness of description.
and interest Of subject, Scott stands in the
foremost rank. His works will be read al
ways with interest, and not unfrequently with
profit. One volumeis issued every Satur-
day, and each one is got up in neat style,
all of the same size, and are printed at the
rate of IS cents volume, or the whole tweu-
ty-six volumes for five dollars and sent free of
postage to all, on receipt Of this sum. Thi'
low price should place sett of them within
the reach of everybody in the land
