Out of Ihvj general wreck we have saved Indiana, Ohio, and probably Michigan and New Hampshire. We are disappointed, it is true; but, we must confess, against the teachings of our better judgment. Our consolation is, that the Democracy of our own State have remained firm and unshi.ken, while almost every where else, they have in a greater or less degree, yielded to the humbugs, and the falsehoods, ana the scoundrelisni of whiggery. The Whigs will again have the government ns they had it in 1840, with sweeping majorities everywhere in their favor. Now let the Democracy step aside, yielding with a good grace to the declared will of the majority, and look on a? disinterested spectators. Let ns not follow the infamous and traitorous example of our hypocritical and knavish opponents. Let ns indire them patriotically and charitably ! If they do any thing worthy of praise, let us give them credit for it, and only condemn what is blameworthy ! They will have a difficult task to perform. They bare elected a man wfco confesses that he never voted, and knows nothing about politics. They will have to appoint cabinet officers, who will act as his directors and guardians, and upon whose character will expend that cf the administration, as in the case of Harrison. No whig can now guess what it will be. It may be such as we can honestly support ! Time will goon show. Let us patiently await its developments. For ourselves, we feel that vc have done all that duty or even punctilio " required of us. Our democratic fellow citizens of the masses, in Indiana, can say the same thing. The consciousness of this, will in some degree alleviate the pain of general defeat. We shall, like An'ueus, gather strength from our fall ; but unlike the heathen god, we shall never be subdued. Let every Democrat remember the era of 1840, and from those recollections obtain strength, and fuith, and encouragement. The career of Democracy may be slightly and occasionally impeded by adventitious circumstance-, or the errors of friends or foe. So may clouds occasionally hide the bright f;ice of the sun. A brilliant day will soon dawn, and the sun of democracy will shine as brightly elsewhere as it still docs in nobis Indiana ! ßSome of our democratic friends were very indignant, on Tuesday, at feeing the Taylor men, who have the management of tne Blind Asylum, leading up the blind boy to vote for old Zack, our friends believing that it was illegal fur the students to vote at our polls, whose residences were not in ibis county. It was so declared by more than one lawyer, i:pon the ground. Their whig friends however were delermined that they thou'd vote for Talor, even if they were indicted and punched lor it. This .vus ''üoing it blind." literailv ! Next wo shall see the patients of the Insane Asylum lugged out for a similar purpose, and perhaps the Decf and Dumb, also. Cin't the democrats of the next Legislature establish another asylum of the halt and the lame for the benefit of whiggery 7 It would not only furnish the whigs with additional voting material, but also provide ndriiti'jrm! pla'es for broken-down hacks of whigjeiy as managers and superintendents. We suppose that the three Asylums already established have not entirely exhausted the stock of defaulting and bankrupt whigs, who have always lived like leeches upon the public, either as princes or paupers. T"Horace Greeley, the editor of the N. V. Tri-i bune is one of the successful whig candidates for Congrcss from New York. So much for the refractory I tvtulf lAn 1 . t lit h.wt Cb? I f .tost 1.

Ict a man exert himself fur his own side with alt his heart, soul and strengt!, impelled by n thcr motive than an honest conviction of right, and ! he may labor forever nut only without reward, but without even a cold acknowledgement that his services i have been of ever so little account. Greeley, in the first instance, bitterly denounced the nomination of Taylor ; but that man must have b?en a very superficial judge of human nature, to say nothing of the nature of politicians, who could not see that, at the right time, he would sustain the very nomination w hich he at first denounced. He could not be deceived as to the mercenary motives of the men who achieved that nomintion at Philadelphia. He knew them root aud branch; and he was sure they would purchase his aid if they could not get it i on cheaper terms. He was wise to put himself in the market. Had he not done so, he might have published the Tribune for the benefit of abstract whiggery fror. July to eternity, before he would ever have been thought of for Congress. His shrewdn-ss ha triumphed, ard he leaves the tripod for the cushioned seats of Congress. A lesson is involved in this 41 circumstance," which it would be prJi table fur all editors to learn in season. It tok in fifteen years of hard labor to Jparn even the A B C of it ; and at list it was forced into us against our ow n will. RooKBACKS. On Ihr eve of the election, just as we had predicted, the whig scoundrels and villians eel heir Roorbacks, according to their common custom. The principal one was that which represented thit Cass had sent McClelland of Michigan to make a bargain with Wi'mot of Pennsylvania. The lie wa3 barefaced, tint it is almost uprising that it should be propagated; but 11 the editors who had it in lime, it 'tied in its dissemination, the Indiana Journal among the rest. We shall publish it f :r the benefit of our readers, and t exhibit the infamy of whiggery, as goon as it is convenient for ui to do so. Or By the Proclamation of the Governor, which appears in this paper, it will be seen that he recommends Thursday, the 30th inst., as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer to Almighty God, for the manifold brings which, through His grace, we all have been rmitted to enjoy during the past year. I (7- A collision occurred on the night of the 2d instant, on the Lynn and Boston railroad, attended with dreadful consequences. An extra train, on which were the press reporters with Mr. Webster's speech, met the Marblehead train, and in an instant both were in pieces. Six persons were killed and many wounded.
I'ltESIDENHAl. ELECTION 1848. OHIO. Cass's majority in Ohio will be large, from 0.000 to 10,000. The Van Buren vote on the Reserve is large. MICHIGAN. This State is conceded to Gen. Ciss.

Kail Uosuls. On ihe New York and Erie road six thousand men are now at work, and it is expected that by the 1st of December, cars will run eastward from Binghampton forty miles, shortening so much tho distance between the termini of the two sections of the road. A large depot is to be built eoon at Piermont, w ith a pier on which fifteen miles of railroad track will be laid down. This road, when completed, will make a part of our northern route to New York, and cast of that city. Its completion will soon be followed by that of the line from hence to Bellefontaine, and when both are in operation, Central Indiana, the richest agricultural country in the world, will be only about 70 or 75 hours from the great commercial city! Not many years will elapse after that, before we shall have a continuous line of railroad to New York, by skirting the Lake shore with a link from Sandusky to Buffalo, at least, which will take us to New York city in 00 hours. The New Yorkers have no idea whatever of the importance of this matter. Philadelphia and Baltimore are not much in advance of their neighbors in knowledge, and immensely behind them in work. Baltimore, however, has begun to move, and has changed the administration of her western railroad company. She has got to work sharp, however, to overtake New York, and labors under worse difficulties. We hope she will get over them all, and soon extend her road to some point on the Ohio river as low down as possible ; the lower, the better for the read, in every way. Philadelphia, if she is wise, will push her line west, through Central Ohio and Indiana, so as to get it to Bellefontainc before the line can be built around the Lake. Fkom Albany to Buffalo. A letter from Syracuse to the New York Journal of Commerce, says that important changes for the better are to be made on the railroad line between Albany and Buffalo ; by which the time of the fast train will be reduced from abut 23 hours to 17i, and the price from !$12 to $0 75. Two other trains will run each day except Sundays, one in 18 hours, and the other in i$ hours. The three trains leave Albany at 7 o'clock, A. M., 2 o'clock P. 31., and 7 o'clock P. M. Leave Buffalo at 7 A. M., and 2 and 9 P. M. The new arrangements were to be completed and go into operation by the 1st of November. So much for even the prospect of competition by the New York nnd Erie line. When the latter gets into full operation, it will need better treatment than they have ever yet had, to induce passengers to prefer the lino from Bufifalo to Albany. (7-General Stephen W. Kearney died at St. Louis on the 30th nit. General Kearny was born in Newark, New Jersey, about the year 1793, and was thus !n his 55th year at the time of his death. He entered the army as lieutenant in 1312, fought at Qucenslon, and served through the war with credit. He was made a major in 1321, a lieutenant colonel in 1833, a full colonel in l?3G, and a full brigadier general in 1310. His abilities as a tactician were acknowledged to bo very superior, and have been frequently made use of by our government in drilling nnd improving the cavalry arm of tho service. The career of Gen. K. during the Mexican war is fresh in the recollection of the public. C7" John B. Dillon, who lied from Ireland to escape arrest as an insurrectionist, has arrived at New York.
Radical Doctkines Gerrit Smith, of Peierboro, N. Y., in a recent letter, expresses some very radi-' cal sentiments relative to tho powers of Government,
The letter is in answer to the question " whether he would approve of an appropriation of the proceeds of .1. i . . r . t . n 1 . 1 r ' saies 01 ine puiuic lanus ( 10 neural seui rrsj tor the support of a liberal Xa Hiatal system of public school, wherein every child might receive the rudiments of an English education at the public expense the New York or Massachusetts system being the model!" Mr. Smith thus replies 1st. I deny the right of Government to pell, or, even, to give nwav land. Government is not a land owner, ihe laud ot the world belongs to uie people of the world and as much to any one individual, as to any other. Moreover, their title to ii is as abolute ns to the tiir. That one of these elements can be apportioned, and that the other cannot he, makes not the title, which every human being possesses to the one or the other, less valid. 2d. I deny the right of Government to meddle with the subject of education. It has no more right to meddle with the school than with the pulpit to furnish the instructions of the one than of the other. If it he said, that the instructions in the one case are religious, and in the other not, the answer is, that this distinction oi'Tht not to exist; and that the arrangemerit or policy, which errvrs to maintain, or favor, it, is to he deprecated, instead of encouraged. The admission, that Government should have no part i:i moulding the religion of its subject, is n virtual admission, that it should be excluded from the school for if religion should bo any where, it should b in the school. I wouhl have Government confine itself to the work of protection. Wi re its duties within 1 lint , its only sphere, faithfully and I'olly performed, nothing more would be claimed from it. Many wise and good men would have Government j furnish labor, as well as education, to its subjects, j But let Government protect its subjects in the enjoy- j merit of their n atural rights especially of their right j to personol liberty, in spite of slaveholders, or other i pirates; and of their right every one of them to a I ll Ul'.'lll iU II ! monopolists; and j rever they please, 1 portion of the soil, 1:1 spite ot land of their right to buv and sell where in spite of those, who see!; irain from tnritfs; and of1 their right to reptidlatc d;Lts, not incurred with their' own consent; and let it, withal, cease from war, that chief devourer of the earnings of the p"or; let it i do all this, and its subjects will be able to take care of themselves to take care of their own minds also. Absurd, indeed, would it bo for tne, when contitm- j ally stealing from my neighbor, to talk f i:s need of charity at my hand. But not less absurd is it fur ! one of the spurious Civil Governments of this world to claim, that its subjects are dependent on Govern- j mental charity. It is hut justic that my wronged neighbor needs from me. It is but justice that its wronged subjects need from Government. i There is another reason why Civil Government is ! not to be regarded as a mammoth dispenser of chari-1 ty, and its subjects as a group of mendicants about it. ; It has nothing to bestow. It is, or should be, poor. It should live from hand to mouth. It should have no permanent funds. The wealth of a nation is to be left in the hands of the people; and, excepting 1 that it may, from time to time, call on the people for so much of the currency, as it has proper occasion ! for, the Government is to be kept empty-handed. : Moreover, to the end, that the people may be duly watchful or the expenditures of their Government, these expenditures are to be defrayed by direct contributions from their pockets, and not through t.'iosc indirect taxations which lull the popular vigilance to sleep. I need say nothing hi protect myself from the inference, that I am indifferent to the education of the mosses." Such an inference would he as unwarrantable as that, because I would not have Government do it, I would not have its subjects christianized. No warmer desire have I than fjr universal cducation the universal best education of the bodv, the head, and the heart. But, such an education no Civil Government will ever provide and the peoj do who shall provide it for themselves will be a people so happy as to live under a government, which honestly and intelligently ims to protect its suldects in the enjoyment of their rights, und w hich, also, aims at nothing beyond such protection. Irish Affairs. The N. Y. Tribune speaks of the conviction of O'Brien, and of the attitude of the Irish people in regard to it, in the following terms: 'The conviction of William Smith O'Brien sends a thrill of anguish to in any a generous heart, iu spite of the prevalent conviction that his sentence will not be carried into execution. He may be pardoned, or perhaps transported for a season, but the Aristocracy of Great Britain are too shrewd to seal with his blood us devo.ion to Liberty, and thus secure him the hrst , . r . ....

We confess our inability to comprehend the present or recent attitude of the peuple of the British Isles. That Paris should chastise and overwhelm the minions of a sordid despotism was in the natural course of things; but when loyal Berlin reads her tyrant a lesson never to be forgotten by the flashes of her own captured guns, compelling him to do penance before the corpses of the brave men who died resisting and humbling him when the cold ashes of Freedom are rekindled even in oriental Vienna, and Absolutism, unexpectedly defeated in the person of its embodiment, .Metternich, is fairly routed in a second conllict for which it had evidently rallied all its forces the tamcness of the British and Irish .Millions under their wrongs, their insults and their miseries, is to us unaccountable. We may understand it better in time." The Dublin correspondent of the same paper, winds up a recent letter with the subjoined paragraph: "Jenny Lind is in Dublin, performing to brilliant

The Cyane was on the west coast of Mexico when the war broke out, and only left there after the receipt of tin; news of peace. This ship's company participated in the taking of .Monterey, and garrisoning that town the first offensive operation on that coasf. They were in the fights of Com.

Bain's am Mouse's Tf.j.ko ha nt The New York Courier explains the difference between thee two systems, fo far as rapidity of operation is o nccrned. as follows: .Morse's telegraph (or any other except Bain's) can only transmit matter as fast as one person can write it, because only one operator can work at a time. On Bain's plan the matter is prepared beforehand ; and then wound upon a cylinder; when it is to be transmitted, the cylinder is turned and this can be done with olmost any degrte ef despatch; for example, in transmitting the President's message by Morse's system, it can only be done as fast as one man can writo it. On Bain's system, tie message can be cut into one or two hundred parts nnd put into the hands of a many men. It can thus be made ready, wound upon tho cylinder and wound off again, almost instantly.
