The parwco, jvnnsou wouai sin i oe enoeen ty which lives under its empty professions of Democracy has never been beaten in the State contest preceding a Presidential election. Even when Gt;n.

This is not a surprise, though il baffles nearly all calculations. Rarely or never bee more aetermined conteot or fuller vote. The poll for Clay and Polk may have exceeded it, but we think no other. The official patronage, State and National, was all on one side, and exerted to the utmost. It was rendered potent by the undoabling confidence of ability to retain it, without which patronage is of little avail. Down to tliA rlrkM nf IKa nnlt. t Vuri wn nnt Pnaa mnn ! . r.i o. .

But there is no longer room for doubt or misgiving. Gov. Johnson i. elected, and the whole aspect of affairs changed. Pennsylvania has taken her place at the head of the Whig array the flag ship of the Whig armada in the great contest at hand. She is as morally certain to vote for Gen. Taylor as any Slate in the Union after Kentucky, and we think the majority i. more likely to exceed 30,000 than to fall below 3,000. Next to New York, she will probably give Old Zxck hi. largest State majerity. For the patronage so powerfully wielded against us in the late contest now virtually change, hands: the certainty of a Whigasceudency next winter in the State, the almost certainty of a like change in the Nation, transforms everything. Hope will prove more powerful in the pending eon lest than Despair. The discomfitted Stale office-holder have brought down ttwe avalanche upon their party. Pennsylvania would pretty surely have voted for Taylor, but they have made her instrumental in turning other States to hi. support, and thus converting their party's defeat into a rout. They crowed indecently about the bedside of the dying Gov. Shunk, end constrained him to resign just before the breath left his body, in order that Mr. Johnson's providential accession to power should not keep a few of them out of place beyond the 1st of January next. They would not let their chief and benefactor die a Governor lest Mr. Johnston should for a year longer live one. Had they minded their busiues, Governor Shnnk would have died in office, as wa. proper, and Mr. Johnston would have been acting Gov ernor for some seventeen months. But this they could not endure, and so drove Gov. J. to take the stump and the Whigs to do their best for him. Very possibly, this may have keen the turning point in the Presidential struggle. Maine, said Judah Hammond in 1840, 'has settled the boundary question between Liberty and Despotism.' Unless the Whigs shoald ab surdly relax their exertion, in view ef their brilliant prospect of .access and they are not likely to, since they always pall hardest with wind and tide in their favor Pennsylvania has done the country like good service in 1818.

Jeremiah Mason, one of the oldest and most eminent lawyer, ia the country, died at Boston Saturday week, aged 82. He was formerly a member of the U. S. Senate from New Hampshire wa the preceptor of Daniel Webster, and possessed one of the most powerful minds in the country. Aneraotc of the Late Jarfgr Davis. Not many month, before the death of this great and good man, on the occasion of a dinner party at his honse, at which Mr. Justice Story and other eminent jurists and lawyer were present, the conversation tnrned upon the advantage, of the different periods of life. Some thought the season of yoath and manhood the fullest of enjoyment, and other gave the preference, for solid satisfaction, to the period of age- J udge Davis did not state hi. opin ion until he was invited to do so; and then, in a calm and benign planner for which he was .remarkable, he said: "tn the warm season of the year it 1 my delight to be in the country, and every pleasant evening while I am there, Hove to sit at the window, and look upon noma beautiful tree, which grow near my honse. The mur muring of the wind through th branches, the gentle play of the leaves, and the flickering of itgnt npon them, when the moon is up, fill, me with indescribable pleasure.

There's a man here with powder in his pockets, and he'll blow us all to the " The complainant "got ont" accordingly, in no small hurry, and the passenger, thenceforward punned the even tenor of their way, undisturbed by hi. farther annoyance. This anecdote reminds us of n occurrence which once took placenta long and picturesque bridge over the Cayuga lake, that middle-western barrier of which .access or defeat, in time, of political excitement, are now predicated. A wag from Syracuse, who with some half dozen friends had been disporting at the pleasant and flourishing village of Seneca Falls, determined on approaching the toll-gate in a sleigh, one stormy night, to "run the bridge." "Li down, boys," said he,"in the sleigh, and when we get nnder the gate, groan a liltie and tremble, but don't over-do it. Here, get nnder these horse-blankets." They did so, and when the sleigh came under the picket-draw of the bridge, they began to moan and shake, so that "it was piteous r see and eke to hear." "I have nothing less than thi. ten-dollsr bill," said onr wag, handing the gate-keeper a banknote, "but for Heaven's sake change it just as quick as ever you can! I have three friends in the sleigh who are almost dead with the smallpox, and I'm in a " "Drive on i drive onr said the terrified gatekeeper, handing back the bill; "drive on pay next time!" Above the whistling of the snow-laden wind which swept over that frozen lake, and the trampling of . the horses' feet on the bridge that night, the gate-keeper heard the load lange of tnese wags, proclaiming that he had been "taken In and done for!"

Farmers, and Drover, who ar among the farmers, can iudse more correct! v than it is possible for us to do in regard to the number likely to seek a market, and will, or onght to be governed more by tbeir own information than npon present prices effered hereOther influences, however, than those arising from the comparative number of hogs, will have much to do with prices, not only hereybut lout the country. All the summer and the present lime, the money market extremely stringent. We have never more universal scarcity than has been. several months, and we cannot learu what i. the modus operandi by which a supply for the wants of the Pork season is to be commanded. Even yet, however, the aspect of affairs may be very much. and very soon changed. An increased activity which tends much to relieve the money market, if there is currency. As the drovers will make a ready market for the Indiana and Kentucky paper here, our bank, will thereby be relieved of a large amount that Bom moves tardily, and is for practical purposes, almost dead capital. Much of this will rapidly pass Into the hands of country merchants and thence back to our wholesale dea lers. Thi will increase the demand for exchange. In this rapid circle great relief will be afforded without increasing the amount of regular discounts, and if the state of trade justifies any considerable extension, we may have an easy money market, but the proepecto for this are unfavorable. All the Eastern markets are yet tight, and capitalists will not invest, or loan for investment in Pork, unless influenced by low prices, or the prospect of a short supply in aliort.unless there ia more than aa even chance for gain. It will be seen that we regard the prospects as regards prices, as yet altogether a matter of uncertainty, and as before suggested, drovers should have an eye to other facts beside tho momentarily current prices. Another influence will have much to do with the price of bogs, viz: the navigable condition of the Ohio. With a low stage of water, causing very high rate of freights, or, a now, preventing shipments, would operate seriously upon the money market, as it would greatly lessen the amount of Exchange, and, to a correspond ing extent, reduce the amount of means wherewith to pay for hogs, or their product. A good stage of water would have an opposite influence, and must necessarily have an effect upon prices. The summer and Fall has been dry, following a succession of wet seasons, and two year, of almost uninterrupted good navigation. It would not be strange, therefore, if the residao of the Fall and early winter should always be dry, bnt it may be far otherwise. In view of all these uncertainties we repeat the remark that it is now impossible to form an opinion, with aay assurance that it will be sustained by facts yet to transpire. One thing, however, iscertain. If there is capital to buy hogs anywhere it is here. That all the facilities for slaughtering and curing are here, is known to the ends of the earth; that Cincinnati curing is not surpassed any where I also conceded, and it is not boasting to state the fact Farmers, Drovers, Speculators, Regular Dealer, and Consumers all know it Cincinnati, therefore, has nothing to fear bat excessive prices. She has Impetus enough. The tide favor, and the wind is aft. The only anxiety necessary is for a soand rudder and a strong and well adjusted canvass. Abundant freights are .nre to obviate the necessity for ballast It I. necessary, however, that those on deck should not get entangled in the ropes, and yet be ready to handle them correctly when the time arrives. A. it ia our province only to keep the "log book," we shall claim only the privi lege of asking "all hands" to be on the "look out." There may be a fair sea and wide sailing ahead there may be no breakers. No one, we believe, can now safely predict which. Abase af Gen. Tartar. The State Sentinel denounce. Gen.
