Election by the House.

The democracy of the south have
more than one way of accomplishing
their purpose of gaining new lease OF
power for four years. In case they can
not unite with their Northern allies with
any prospect of success; they will nom
mate candidate of their own, and
throw the electoral vote of the south in
body for him. Should Douglas, OF
any other man be nominated at Balti
more, strong enough TO get the electora
vote of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and per
haps Illinois, no one of the three candi
dates will have majority, and the cleo
ton will go to the House of Represen
tatives, and it becomes a matter of inter
est to know how that body would vote
The vote is taken by States each state
casting one vote only. Rhode Island
would cast one vote & New York nc
more. There are now 33 States in the
Union,l7 being required to elect should
Kansas, be admitted, during the present
session 18 will elect. The Republi
cans may count on Is States, the dem
ocrats IA the Americans 2 viz Mary
land and Tennessee. Kentuckey and
North Carolina are about equally divid.
ed between democrats and Americans
should the democrats be able to control
and combine with their own, the votes
of Maryland, Tennessee, Kentuckey and
North Carolina, they would of course
decide the election but the recent con.
test for speaker shows how unlikely
that event is. No election taking place
either by the electoral college or the
House of Representatives, the Vice
President becomes ex-officio President
That officer failing of an election by the
people, would be chosen by the Senate
from the two candidates having the
highest number of votes. The Senate
would vote in. the usual way and not by
States, hence the democrats would elect
on the first ballot. Two Presidents
have been chosen by the House, namely
Thomas Jefferson, and John Quincy
Adams.

A Slave Escaping i'm a CrOckerv

Among the freight OF certain steam.
er which arrived at this port night be-
fore last, was crate which the captain
innocently supposed to contain queens
ware, but which in reality contained a
live negro. The shipment was made
at town on the Cumberland river
and none ofthe officers ever suspected
the contents to be anyIother than were
represented in the bill of lading. tin
yesterday, when one of the firemen of
the boat made revelation of the fact
to the astonished captain. 1t was then
too late to remedy the matter for the
crate had been delivered to the con.

RGF INCREASE AND MAGNITUDE OF
OUR LAKE CoMMERcE.-The Detroit
Daily advertiser says:
Last year, at this time, the vessels O.

The tug boats in this vicinity, did not
make enough to pay for fuel This
spring it is very different. For instance,
during forty-eight hours up to yester.
day noon. one hundred and siaty ves-
SETS loaded with grain passed here for
the east. tits fair to estimate that an
average would be thirteen thousand
bushels per vessel, or near three mil
lions of bushels. The tug boats have
all they can do, and vessels and steam
ers are prospecting. A most decided
improvement has taken place in bnsi-
ness matters.-Most ofthe vessels from
Chicago and Milwaukee stop here for
supplies. which is great item of trade
for this city. A good crop in Michi-
gan this year, and we are all right.

"a At the coal mine of Maribaye,
Belgium, a man named Thirty got on a
ladder to grease rope used in drawing
up the wooden cars, called the basket,
when he lost his balance and fell down
the shaft. When the basket, which was
ascending at the time, came to the sur
face in few minutes after, it..contained
the body of the unfortunate man, but
without the head, which in the fall,
coming against the sharp edge, had
been seperatad from the trunk, and was
afterwards found at the bottom of the
shaft.

Douglas.

The primary principle of our government is
universal and free suffrage. This very principle
however, affords our trans Atlantic neghbors,
some foundation for prediction Of the downfall
Of this Republic. The safety of the principle of
universal suffrge, depends upon the intelligence
of the voter, his interest u the SOIL and rarticu-
larly that he should have aoW of his own AS
long as there are large masses of our communi-
ty floating from point to point, on railroads and
steamboats,, and laborers in our large towns with
no homes. no taxes to look after, no interest in
the future stability, or present prosperity of the
country, further than that they may earn their
daily bread, so long will demagogues, Ii Ike Doug
las be strong in the land; SO long may one poten:
will be able to control and lead hundreds of thou
sands of those who have no principle to plead
through the ballot box.
1t is this class of people mainly, who are now
the devotees of the "little giant" Those who
have fixed principles, either political, moral or
social, are not among his followers. The cotton
planter who believes slavery to be right equally
with the aboltiOnist who believes that "every
slave has right to run away" will have moth
ing to do with him who "don't care whether sla
very is voted up or down." Mr.. Douglas cares
for nothing but success-success in his ambitious
political plans-success by any means, SO that
success is won. What does he care for the earn
est protest of the New England clergy to his in
famous Kansas bill? A scurrillous and black.
guard response was all he had to offer Elected
to a seat in tho Senate, he abandons the inter-
ests of his constituency, and spends the winter
in endeavors to get up sensation favorable to
his nomination at Charleston. The election of
such man to the highest place in the govern
ment OF this Republic, would be lasting dis
grace.
