Our cstab ishment is very complete; and having the advantages of -t tin ui'l hand presses, we are enabled to do pointing at the very lowest living rales. The lain State Fair awarded this office a diploma for book and ornamental job printing. All orders for business cards, circulars, hill heads, letter hoa.ls, blanks, pamphlets, posters, hand bills, and every thing in the printing line, will receive prompt attention. Cmmma of the Whig Defeat, and the Future of the Party. This aff.rds a fruitful (heme for editorial article- in the Whig pro. since the election The New York Stale Register, in an able article, attributes the defeat of Gen. Scot! to the influence of Sawardism and the want of nationality in the parly. From this article we copy the following extract: Here is the true and great cause ol onr overwhelming ileleat. A whole nation of tweaty-five millions, can be inow.1 only by an over powerin impulse. There aie . . , " . . . . lie -, ström, and mighty currents ol thought, that aetuate eve, v people Wc see it in France at this moiii' ii' where the desiie lor protection o proWrtv aad - I I J I lile has imliK-ed even the surrender of political liberty to a bold usurper.

It ever has and ever will sweep awav ovary impediment to its free and uninter- . i Vu r hj . rupted coarse.

The list was made out by Mr. Hays, who crossed the plains this summer, and was furnished by him to the Sacramento Union, from which paper the Tribune copied. The following Indianians are included in the list: Mrs. Emeline Barnes, and Amanda and Mahala Robbing three sisters in one grave; Mrs. Caroline Miner, Laporte county, May 31st; Jacob France, Marion County, June 8th.

CLIMATE OF MINNESOTA.—A correspondent of the New York <Evening Post> thus describes the climate of Minnesota. "Although the cold in Minnesota is so severe in winter, these who have lived a length of time in these regions assert that it is far from being unfavorable to health, there being no wind stirring, even when the thermometer has fallen 35deg. below zero before breakfast, as it does sometimes, or when even the murcury [sic] congeals, the weather not having those sudden changes which are so uncomfortable in our latitude. The cold season sets in about November, land [sic] there is little cessation to a still, clear, bracing atmosphere for about six months, and then an uninterrupted spring advances vegetation with a rapidity quite surprising, till before we are aware we are thrown into the lap of summer. ----- ----->The Madison Banner say that Jesse D.

General Scott, notoriously incapable in civil affairs, hut whose militate reputation is worldwide, was set tip by the etinnii. men of his party as th -ir candidate, and irained for I.e. part. While be was shown round the country, under a miserable pretext, as a military automation, he w-as taught not to talk politics, hut to tell of his heroic exploits, and appeal to the old soldiers and those who shnrcd wrh him the dangers of the battle-field. 'I am," quoth he, "the hero of Canida. the conqueror of Mexico: I love yon I thank you.'' His prejudices were Soulhern he was taught to conceal them; they were Native American but he threw them aside in his pretended admiration for the rich Irish brogue and sweet German accent ; they were aristocratic but he said to the crowd, "I am your equal." Even his thoughts ami feelings npon the subject of the compromise, those great measures which had tpiieted dissensions that were calculated to rend .his glorious Union asunder; measures en which every man, woman, and child, who thought and spoke, had expresS,., Rn opinion, this talkative old soldier was comlellei to stifle. He was no doubt a patriot, and thought like one; but he was not allowed to say sohe only told i he people, in his fifty-three electioneering speeches, that he was a hero, and of the battles bo had longht. The result of all this was, that the people, the mighty masses, the sovereigns of the land, became disgusted; they ictrened at such folly, and iheir stroke of condemnation fell with crushing force npon those who were endeavoring to deeivc ihcm. It is a lesson fbat will be remem. bered. at least. whiU a Whig politician ol the present generation remains on the earth. When the new party springs np, that Daniel Webster indistinctly referred to m his dying speech to his friend Harvey, no doubt the lesson taught by the election of Franklin Peree will I..- productive of great good in sh'.wing its leaders the rock on which the old Federal Whig party, which is to be spoken of only as one of the things that were, split upon the second of November, and wrecked all its hopes of the future. ITbe greater part of the wines and branJies made in France are manufactured from the juice of the potato. This may appear incredahle to raanv, but to chemists it is easy as it was fer our grandmothers to manufacture starch from the same bulboos root. All intoxicating liquors have the same basis, and are comped of the same iugredients with the exception of a small quantity of oil pemilar to each article out of whieh liquor is extracted. Hence the difference between the component parts of potato whiskev and Freeeh lrany is but slight. The basis of alcohol is sugar, ami from any substance containing that article, an intoxicating liquor can be made by fermentation. tTThe Native American Vote in Boston numbered 38.

Labor Lost. The Whigs have a great deal o( leasur.- about these days. A portion of this spare time they put in in mak. ing out a Cabinet for Gen. Pierce. The people determined they shotdd not make a President, but they are now kind cnougi to volunteer their aid in selecting for the President elect his advisers. This is all labor lost. Gen. Pierce will select his own Cabinet, and, what is more, he will keep his own secrets. The public will know the names of the Cabinet on the 5th of March next, when officially announced, and not before; and newspaper paragraphs and recommendations will not change the determination of the General on this subject. 1 me thing the publio may rely on; the next administration will be a National Democratic Administration, and the constitutional advisers of the President will be of that character. It is not very probable that the Whigs will be pleased with the selections. They are hard to satisfy. New Jersey Official.

' Terre Haute and St. Louis Railroad. We understand that the President of this road, Mr. Br. nigh, is in this city, for the purpose of making arrangements for the immediate commencement of work upon this proposed road. We learn it is the opinion of tho best lawyers iu New York that tbe company, hay- , ing secured the right of way upon the whole line, is j competent to construct the road, without any further , legislation on the part ol the State el Illinois, lhe; present general railroad law of the State of Illinois pro- i vides, that as soon as stock subscription shall be made, ; at the rate of $1,000 per mile, for the w hole line, and . ten per cent, ol this amount paid in cash, a company' may organise by choice of officers, and may survey and locate their line, which location shall be subject to the ', approval or rejection of the legislature by a subsequent ; act. The company having obtained the right of way, upon the whole line, will not b- compel led to resort to enrts of law for condemnation of lands. It is claimed, that in such case, the necessity of obtaining lurther sanction from the legislature is obviated. ...... . al We also learn that there will bo no ililliculty in oltaining a stock subscription in this city necessary to build the road. The project is looked iqton by our most intelligent men, as presenting one of the liest opportunities for investment ever afforded in this market, and we should not Ire surprised to see the stock go up to a handsome premium, as soon as the subscription shall be completed. It will be taken, we have no doubt, under such expectations. It seems, therefore, that the State of Illinois is about to have a very important line of road built, aud a very large sum of money expenoed within her limits, in the lace of the most vigorous opposition to prevent such calamities. It is the first case of the kind on record in this country, we believe. We presume that in time tbo people will become reconciled to such a flagraut violation of their rights, even though it should build up their legitimate markets nnd ereate an increased demand for their products. The right to build the aliove road is, as already stated, denied by the people of Illinois, nnd the first overt act of construction, will fte made the subject of legal action, by which the rights of the parties in the premises will lie determined. Should it le in lhe aflirraative, then the company will have nothing to do but go ahead. On the contrary, should it be adverse to the right to proceed, such a decision will nndoiihtedly be had before any large expenditures are made.

But if the administration make contracts and expend money on the faith of the government, then they, aud not Congress, are responsible. This is the true distinction. Sorry it was Done.

In an article on the Presidential j , . , cc lon e "y8: i t .1 . . boea wise, as we then believed, and now believe, to al low those in power to test the strength of their policy.

A Discreet and Brave Lady, As yet it is not known who were the victims of the ,ogion tne Buekev0 Belle. Somo ten or tweve 1 - were killed, but names not reported, save that of D.

The Cincinnati Gazette says this bank has a circulation of $225,000, to secure which it has a deposit with the Auditor of the State of Indiana, of State stocks, to the amount of $227,000, which, at an hour's notice, can be converted iu Wall straet, New York, into an equal amount of gold ami silver. Besides this safety fund, the bank has also in its vaults $35,000 in coin, which is sufficient to meet all ordinary demands for the dedemption of its notes. Sad KvenU We learn by the St. Louis papers, that William Law, son of John Law, Esq., of this State, was struck on the head by an iron colt, on the night of the 15th inst., whilst walking tbe streets of that city. Tbe blow fraotnrcd bis skull, ami at the last accounts be was lying in a precarious condition, with but little hop, that he would survive. He was an intelligent aad highly respectable young gentleman. Remains of tbe Whig Party. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says: 'A private post martern examination has been held npon tho body of the 'Federal' party. Mnch bad blood was found in the system, particularly around the liver, which produced a hemorrhage, and consequent prostration. There is only one thing that can restore it to life 79 and activity. It must be born again." Arkansas. The Arkansas Legislature convened on the first inst. The majority for Judge Conway, the regular Democratic candidate for Governor, it 3,028. The Gazette and Democrat, published at Little Rock, the seat of Government, on the Fridiy after the Presiden. tial election, hopes, if the mails are not out of joint, to hear tho result of the election in a week more. IT Read the letter or Hon. Edmund Burke to General William J. Elliott, of this eity. The continued assaults of the Indiana Journal, in the estimation of some of our friends, made the publication of this letter necessary. Gen. Elliott, therefore, consented to its publication Yerdict of the Vicinage. In Merrimac county, New Hampshire, the residence of Oen. Pierce he gains 391 votes over the vote of Gen. Cass in 1848. In Essex county, New Jersey the residence of Gen. Scott, he (Gen. Scott) loses 1,762 on the vote cast for Gen. Taylor. RT-The Charleston Courier says of the literary works of the lamented Calhoun: " But little interest or demand is manifested for tbe work, and the edition for the most part lies quietly reposing on the bookseller's shelves. It is also true that the mortal remains of Calhoun, as do those of the distinguished Hayne, repose unmarked by any publio monument." Kentucky. The Lexington Statesman, of tbe 12th instant, has returns from ninety counties, showing a majority so tar for General Scott of two thousand seven hundred and forty-foqr. Seven counties remain to be beard from, which will not materially change the result
Cuba. The sUte of afairs in this Island is daily nnnssaiai more and more deplorable. Spies are placed by the Government in almost every public house in Havana. They are also on board tbe steamers and in all places of publio resort, so that it is impossible for any ore to atter a whisper against the Government, without king liable to arrest and incarceratMa. But recently, an ages and wealthy Creole, for insan slight offence, was ignominiously garrotted. It will be recollected that some time since, four young ladies were imprisoned one for making a Lone Star flag, and the other three for being engaged in manufacturing cartridges. A few days since one of them died in prison, and tbe others were sentenced for three years. Many of the Creoles had been driven to despair, and are otTeriac their property for sale at almost any price, with a view of leaving the Island. Tbe Government, however, is throwing every obstacle in the way of their effecting sales. It is impossible for them to get more than from one-third to one-half of its value, and then, upon thai amount, Government levies a tax of five per cent. Some are actually deserting valuable estates, and fleeing the country, in order to escape the terrors ol the base system of espionage instituted by tbe Government. It has become customary now, whenever a party applies for a passport, to get up some pretext for some delay, nndei the presumption that he has been guilty of some oflense which may come to light, and subject him to punishment. There is not much excitement in Havana, and the Island is quiet but it is the quietude of despair. There is but little business doing, as capitalists are afraid to invest. PAtV. Jitlm.
Railroad Accidents The Cause of then. We published the other evening the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, deciding tha" railroad companies are not liable for cattle killed on the track, and that tbe owner of the cattle is liable for damages occasioned to persons or property by such obstructions A similar rule has been laid down by the Courts in Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, and every othn State where the question has been litigated. We arc happy to announce that a decision has been made by an eminent judge of our own State, which settles the rights and liabilities of parties in cases of killing cattle. In a recent case in Morrow county, where the C. C. and C. Railroad was sued for damages for killing a hog. Judge Stewart, after full argument, held that " the company had the exclusive right to the track, and were not bound to slacken the speed ol the trains, to avoid cattle, and when killing them in the ordinary use of their road, were not liable in damages to the owner." This is wholesome law, and will go far to make owners of cattle take care ef their stock. But it seems to uk that it is necessary to go (arther, and hold the owner liable for the injury caused by the trespass of his cattle, as was decided in the case in Pennsylvania. The late occurrence on the C. C. and C. Road, where several persons were injured, aad three or four cars damaged by rnnaing over a cow, furnishes a proper ease for the application of this principle, and we hope the company will institute a suit for that purpose. Clrrrland Plain Dealer. Louis Napaleon in New York City. The Brooklyn Daily Advertiser, moralizing tqron the rapid ascent of Louis Napoleon up tbe ladder of ambition, from pasitive poverty, to superlative grandeur ami power, recalls some reminiscences of his sojourn iu ' York city many years ago. The editor says: "What strange events have occurred within a lew I ears in reference to that man! Wc knew- him whilst e was residing in New York, at a lodging hasjBi m Keade street, then kept by a gentleman who now o cupies a high official position under tbe French gov I ment. At that time he was very poor, and very BBBsipated. Notoriously profligate in his habits, ai d v. it), out the pecuniary ability to indulge to the full bent of his inclination the culpable propensities which characterized him, he was frequently expelled from certain places in which he obtruded himself, and more than a dozen times was the occupant of a cell at the old jail in the Park, long since torn down. "Not long prior to bis leaving the United Slates, he was arrested for a misdemeanor committed by him at the disreputable house of a woman whose establishment he often visited, and the writer ol this article was employed professionally by him to save him from the threatened consequences of his recklessness and indiscrc tion. We little supposed who was then our client (and who is still indebted to us for counsel fees and disburse ments) would become Emperor of France. Such, bow ever, is now Irs 'manifest destiny,' although we believe that his realization of his ambitious hopes and aspirations will but hasten the fearful doom which unquestionably impends over him." The Ibish Exodds. Liverpool papers, ol a late date, represent the emigration from Ireland as much greater for 1852 than for 1851 , and express the opinion that it has not yet reached the culminating point. Last year tbe number of passengers that sailed from Liver pool was 195,932. This year it will reach neai quarter of a millioid At this rate the Celtic rai-e most soon dwindle to a minority and eventually it mil Im blotted out by an amalgamation with other races, when the Ireland of the latter part of the Nineteenth century will bear little or no relation to Ireland of th- first part There is some great moral as well as physical cause lor this sweeping away of a nation and race, as such, fron the face of the earth and intermingling it with etbarf. never more to be known except in historical annals There is a law, that the stronger will absorb the weak, i si.-d it holds good in every thing. If we receive this as one of the canons of civilization, there is a problem f. solve, of the most interesting kind a great principle to apply and explain in its details, by the lights of this agt for every sge ia a law to itself. When time shall have elapsed sufficient to give a true perspective, with all tbe accessories of the picture, the passing a wary of tbe Irish race will furnish a topic worth of the profound est minds, as containing lessons of immense kfljkBli " Drank. There is scarcely a word in the English language that seems to bo so studiously avoided by every body, as the one at tbe head of this paragraph. We wish lhe thing was as uncommon as tbe word. The last synonym that we have observed is "tight," a term which stnUeus as rather iaappropriate, sinee a "tight' man. in the cant sense of the word, is almost always a " loose character." We give a list of the few of tne various words and phrases which have been in popular use, at one-time or another, to signify seme stage of inebriation: Ovo the bay, half-seas over, hot, high, three sheets in the wind, corned, cut, cocked, half-cocked, shaved, disoin -ed, jammed, damaged, sleepy, tired, discouraged, snuffy, whipped, how come jre so, breezy, smoked, topheavy, fuddled, groggy, tipsy, smashed, swipy, slewed, cranked, salted down, bow fare ye. on the lee lurch, all sails set, well under way, battered, blowing, boozy, sawed, snubbed, bruised, screwed, stewed, soaked, comfortable, stimulated, jolly. jag.steamd, tangle-legged, fogmafic, blue-eyed, a passenger in the Cape Ann stage, stripped, shot in the neck, bamboozled, weak -jointed , tight, got a brick in bis hat. Burlington Sentinel. A Huge Man-of-war. Tbe English are busily employed in introducing screw propellers into their men-of-war,- and, so far as their navy is concerned . are determined to be always ready for action. The first class British line-of-battle-ship Windsor Castle, a three decker, originally constructed for a battery of one hundred and twenty guns, was, a short time since, out asunder amid-ships and lengthened twenty-three feet, to furnish a suitable space fer the accommodation of screw-propelling machinery. She has just been launched, and her name has been chauged to that of the "Duke of Wellington." She measures nearly 4,000 tons, and mounts 140 guns. With her steam laoililies she is probably the most formidable as well as tbe largest man-of-war afloat. The largest shin in the French Navy is the screw propeller "Napoleon." What are the Yankees doing CTThe National Democrat says of Greeley's assault upon General Pierce's sincerity in attending Mr. Webster's funeral: " We challenge the aBaals of political infamy to produce its equal in falsehood against tbe living, or insatiate malice against tbe mighty dead. The honored name of Mr Webster is blackened with the foulest obloquy, in order to oast a few haadfuls or detraction npon that of General Pierce. It n wall known that for twenty years a personal friendship has subsisted between Mr. Webstar and Gen. Pierce. Political differences never cooled or weakened it in the least degree. They respected and appreciated each other too highly for such paltry prejudioes to he tolerated for a eiaf U hour ."
