whatever course Louisiana may pursue now,
if any attempt should be made by the Federal
Government 10 coerce a sovereign STATE, and
compel her to submission to an authority which
she has ceased to recognize. l should unhesita-
tingly recommend that Louisiana assist her sister
State with the same aacrity and courage that the
Colonies assisted each other in their struggle
against the despotism of the Old World.
If am not mistaken in public opinion, the
Convention, if assembled, will decide that Louis
lana will not submit to the Presidency of Mr.. Lin
| coin In the temper of the Northern mind it is not
possible to foresee the cosrsc of policy that Con-
gress may determine upon, and it is the part OF
wisdom to prepare Tor ourselves any emergency
that its legislation may produce. We are without
arms to defend ourselves from attack should our
sovereignty be assailed, and it therefore becomes
our imperative duty 10 adopt immediate measures
for supplying ourselves with all materials of war
In the brief period which you are likely to remain
in session, it would be impracticsble 10 re-organ-
ze our militia on a sound basis. In order, here
fore, to be prepared for prompt and judicious ac-
| ton, / recommend the CREATION Of a Military
| Board or Commission, whose duty it shall be to
| purchase arms and distribute them 10 volunteer
| companies throughout the State, under a system
to be devised by the Board. This Board should
also be required TO mature plan for the rcorgan-
cation Of militia and report to the regular ses
sion Of the General Assembly on the first day Of
the session. 1t should he composed of men Of
military education and experience, who will thor
oughly understand our wants, and the best and
least expensive mode Of providing FOR them. \

of the most improved patterns Even if our MIA
tons with the Federal Government were othri

appropriation; for the State may be Sid TO be al

which accompanies this message.

OUR CITY.

The majority against US in this City is somewhat
larger than we expected, but not enormously 3d.
We gave the Fusionists 25, 900; they have obtain
ed, perhaps, 81 OC0, though We trust it is little
less We make our total Lincoln vote IS, 237
against 60 sos for the Fusonists. The vote is very
FILLMORE than 10 900 higher than ever before;
and the Republican vote falls but 800 behind our
estimate We OughttO have pOlled our full 80, 900;
but the desperate exertions, the lavish expendi-
ture, and the pecuniary cODstraints exerted over
their employees by the mercantile FusiOnsts have
reduced us below what we ought to have had
All we have to say is, that q more gallant aud
desperate battle was never fought by any party
anywhere than by the Republicans of this City.
They began the canvass with the year, and they
have prosecuted it for ten months with untiring
energy and invincible resolution. They have held
all the meetings done all the bard work, spent all
the money in legitimate efforts to commend their
principles, that they could. Nothing but the in
tense mercantile pressure excited by terrOrs of
Disunion or MOL Intercourse could have carried
the majority against US above 10000.
Our adversaries did not cheat us so much as
they expected, nor so much as we dreaded, thanks
to the vigilance of our Wide.Awakes in scrutniz-
Jog the Registries and watching the polls. Had
We met them less resclutely, less ndustriOusly,
they could have easily run up their majority here
to $4,000.
We have elected FREDERICK A. CONKLING to
Congress; also WILLIAM WALL from the Eastern
and WILLIAMSBURG District. We presume the
Mozart County Ticket is all elected-at all events,
that ours is beaten-except that VIM. X. STEWART
is probably one of the two Supervisors. On the
whole, if we have not done as well as we expected,
We have done all We cOuld.

BROOKLYN ELECTION.

The elections in this city passed off with unusual
quittness At none of the polls was there any dstur-
bsnce, Much embarrassment was occasioned at all
of them on account of,he unusually large vote poot
1t is estimated that three thousand voters unable
to vote for lack Of time; there was but little chaeng
ing and no desire manifested either ride to obstruc
the voting. The vote reaches in the aggregate about
Sc OOO of which the Union ticket poled about 20 900
and the Republicans Il, 1000; leaving majority with
the Union men Of 1000.
TIE lRepublicau wards give lees than their usual
maiorities, and as they were first heard from, the
Fusion men supposed they had at least 10 900 majority
The Democratic Wards fell off considerably, and thus
the vote was reduced. Mose, f. 0iell DEM is
elected to Congress from the lid district over
Humphrey by about 1000 There were two Demo
cratic candidates in the field for Sheriff; Campbell Re-
publican s elected by email majority. The proba-
bilj,ie, are that the Republicans have made clean
sweep Tne following the vote for Electors in the
several wards:

The Pony Express, with California dates of Oc-
tOber "a, arrived at ST. joseph on Monday moTn
ing. The result of the Pennsylvania election had
created deep sensato on in political circles. The
Republicans were jubiant and were putting forth
additional efforts. The various factions of the OPP
position were in despair. Senator Baker of Ore
gon, who was stumpiug California, was received
by large crowds and great enthusiasm. 1t is
thought impossible for Senator Gwin to secure his
return TO the United States Senate. The news
from Oregon is unimportant 1t was doubtful

The very beat contest made in our State is that
of our friends across the East River. Though they
have lost their Congressman by 1000 In old Brook

THE GREAT RESULT.
LINCOLN ELECTED.
OUR STATE.

Our returns are of course bnt partial, even from
the Counties whence we have returns at all, but
they leave no doubt that LINCOLN has carried it
by from 90 900 to $4,000. Our State ticket has
about the same. The Fusionists may have 10 of
the 80 Members Of Congress, though we trust they
have not. The Legislature is Of course largely
Republican. Littlejohn is reelected in Oswego,
and we presume Myers likewise in Syracuse, while
McQuade is beaten in Utica.
The following are the reported aud estimated
msjorities in all the Counties of our State. We
have put our estimates as much against us as we
could

1t will be seen that, although AMOR j. Will
HANSON was beaten yesterday in the Hid Con
gressioual District BY Ben. Wood, he ran greatly
ahead of his ticket, and made a stand, single,

could have made. The vote he received proves
the fact that he is esteemed an upright and hon

Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST & WILSON'S Machine.
1st Its simplicity, and the directncss with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great dosideratun and in this we claim
a decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached 10 n small wheel driven by larger
one, instead Of to the long arm of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directnoss.
Sd. The great power and drectness of the
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknossos, from sheet Of paper
TO heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping a stitch or breaking n thread. We
know of no other family machine Of equal ca
paeity.
4th 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools unlike most machines, it
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; it has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments DeuqulltS, oc', anu IL viii tuIh up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
9th. The Machine will do greater variety
Of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
n similar stitch upon the highest priced machine
No machine will make and put upon garments
| the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
Send for circular containingfull particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations of stitch, &c.
Machines warranteda and full directions given
| for using, without charge.
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing

WANTS TO BE "CoUSTED oUT."-John
Wentworth, the black republican Mayor
of Chicago is becoming tired of his party
and gives them notice that il. they don't
do better he'll take "Frepch leave" of
them. In the last number Of his paper,

ing black republican journal in the State,
he says: {" =
awe see great efforts making to turn
this republican party, which is founded al
together on opposition to slavery, into the
second edition of old blue-light federalism

lug high protective tariff doctrines into it /;
to ring in q lot OF, old fossil ,kpow,noth-

to see efforts made to have national

then the party will have emerged from its
chrysalis condition into q full blown fed
