ELECTION—Uf II cot'NTHV. The Presidential election ia over, and the result known. Franklin Pierce ia fleeted President by an overwhelming in gorily —a vote fw aurptssinf all expectation on the part ofthoae who placed him in nomination. *The result auVpriaea one* party alaost roach a* riie otlier. We apeak in referenee to tbe parties of the two prominent candidates. It is very probable that each of these parties was sincere in its calculation of puecess. Bet in the hour of moat sanguine expectation we do not think either looked for a large majority over the other. A combination of circumstances, however, has operated to give three-fourths of the Electoral College against Gen. Scott

purely and thoroughly as such. It is not a triumph of one party and defeat of the other, .•s two distinct, identical, isolated and separate parties. Let any one examine the premises with a view to an impartial and unprejudiced opinion, and tbe conclusion ®will be as we have stated. A series of influences which all sides more or less calculated might possibly operate to affect either aide of the issue, have most unexpectedly to the source of these influences operated favorably to tbe Democratic nominee, and against the Whig candidate. How far British influence has been brought to bear we •are not prepared at present to day. It Is, ^however, a notorious and well-established fact, that the English Press not only openly 'sympathised with the Pierce side of the is-

SUTI, but was as partisan against W infield '"Scott as the Locofoco journals of our country. The reason for this is obvious enough. ^All understand it The election of General 'Scott would have been a death-blow to the

Free Trade hopes of British manufacturers, *while the success of Pierce might be calculated upon as favorable to Free Trade principles.

But we are beaten. Free Tradeism, Nullificationiam, Fillibuateripm, Free Soilism, Diaunioniam, with many other isms that might oe named, have united and combined, v»nd tbe work is done. The law and order party for the present is defeated. Cuba will ''be annexed—ourcountrj will be involved in war—- the area of Slavery extended, and an enormus national debt created. Then what next 1 perhaps a little leven of sober common sense may operate, bye and bye, and after great mischief is done. The great conservative Whig party will then, as ever, be found ready with its wisdom, power, weight and influence to save the country. If this party cannot now wield an influence as a majority, ithiay and will be found a balance wheel and check minariry, that all the fragments and combinations of factious parties will in. the end be obliged to respect. We rejoice in belonging to just such a minority !.-r.we glory in the membership of such a fraternity. We would a thousand times prefer such a position of honor, to that ef a place with the heterogeneous combination by which Winfield Scott, the Whig candidate, wa» defeated. The combination which has elected Pierce President never can coalesce for any good or honorable purpose. It is a mass of heterogeneous elements that cannot hold together fur good or evil for any term of four years. It will dissolve before it is united upon any principle of natioifll policy by which the whola country can be benefited

When this dissolution takes place the coun-

try will fall back upon Whigs. In view of such a state of affairs, which certainly must come, Whigs should stand fast hold on to their party organization for future good, This ia a duty we owe the country. It ia to the Whig party the country will always look in times of difficulty and danger. Let us be ready for the emergency!

Tht last Ohio SateJournal thus discourses to tho Whigs of that State:—" We have pas»od the criucal period in the history -of ouportyl We have demonstrated that we have tigw, vitality, and all the elements of a great party organisation in full force. We stand in better condition, before the people Of Ohio, and the world, to than we have since 1848. We know this wiH be disagreeable news to our Locofoco friends, but we give them this early notice, that they may look well to their wars. They have the power and the responsibility or the government of Ohio. They btve shown by their past iiistory that they cannot administer the government properly and honestly. Let them beware of the future.

To the Whig* of Ohio we say STA*» TO XOT7K ro«T». The time ia rapidly coming when the people will again call on you, ar they did in 1844, to take charge of the inters eats of our great State. Nothing f« more certain than that the men who now role in Ohio, will so abuse their position, as to forfait the confidence they now enjoy. Standby your principles! Your mission is to pre•me tbe faith and integrity of Ohio, to promote her,prosperity, to open up her resourtsces, and to conduct her by your counsels, and *4id, to that high destiny which awaits her Afotare. Let no true Whtg/#ra tmatmi falser or hesitate. Keep up your organisation.

Diffuse intelligence among the masse*, and ilks ready when the time comes, oow* *9o asmme the control of the dostiuiea of our fefceWe, glorious State.

CUBA ASX THE UNITED STATES Madrid correspondent of the Kolnische Zi'itung writes under date of October 3, that he knows from a sure source that the American Ambassador at that t'ourt has lately renewed the offer of $180,000.000 made under Mr. Polk'a Administration for the island of Cuba. The ministry, after having made the matter the subject of special deliberation, replied that Spain na longer thought ot'parting with the island, but would employ her utmost power to keep it. As for the attempts of the 6 Hi busters, to which the Ambassador had alluded in making his proposal, he no longer feared them, bu* was ready to suppress them as they should be made. The anny in the island was strong, loyal, ami trustworthy, and tlio civil officers would prove faithful to the last. The reply concluded by requesting the Ambassador not to renew the proposal. The general belief at Madrid, says the writer, iu that the filibustering reports are got up by the American Guvernment in order to induce Spain to sell the island. Accordingly, this reply ef the minister gives general satisfaction to the

public of that city.

EMIGRATION FROM GERMANY.—Previous to 1830 there was but

one

year during which

the emigration from Germany to this conn try reavhed above 15,000. In 1832 it rose to24.000 in ld37 to 3^,000, but fell in 1843 to 23.000 the namher then of persons who, durig the ndecade closing with that year, went beyond seas in search of a better fortune, averaged about 19,000 annually. From this tune forth there has been a rapid incriase in 'he extent of the emigration. In 1844 Germany sent out, in round numbers, 44.000 emicr'ants in 1843, 67,000 in 1846 and '47, the famine years, ra rc than 106,-

000 in 1843, '49 and '50, the years of revolutionary disturbance and political proscription, from 80,000 to 90 000, ar.d tn 1851 something more than 113,000. It is calculated that these emigrants have carried out of Germany capital to the value of $18,000,000

A StSGUt.AR DSATH.—At St. Louis, on the 13th ult., 3Irs. Bolton lost her wallet in the market it was picked up soon by a German woman, named Mrs. King, who returned it to the owner. She opened the pocket

examined it and declared that Mrs. King had taken ®10of the money. The latter seemed much confused and denied it.— Mrs. Bolton then threatened that she would have her arrested and searched, when Mrs. King fell dead at her feet. The death was as sudden as has ever been known. Mrs. K. was the wife of a steamboatman, and the mother of several children.

A new counterfeit $20 bill on the State Bank of Ohio has made its appearance. It is filed up on the Ripley branch, D. P. Evans, Cashier, which is a dangerous imitation of the genuine. The center vignette is a female figure, with right arm resting on a shield or frame, with mechanical and agricultural implements lying about; left hand margin a portrait of Chief Justice Marshall; right hand margin an Indian queen. As this plate will likely be filled up to all branches of the State Bank, it will be well to keep a sharp look out as it is exceedingly well executed. ~~~~~~~

Mr. Webster on the Morning. The following beautiful letter from the pen Mr. Webster was written to a friend. It will be read with much interest, not only for its intrinsic beauties, but as a purely literary

production:

RICHMOND VA.,

Five o'clock, A.M., April 29, 1852. My dear Friend: Whether it be a favor or an annoyance, you owe this letter to my early habits of rising. From the hour marked ut the top of the page, yon will naturally conclude that my companions are not now engaging my attention, as we have not fulcuFated on being early travelers to-day.

1 asa"pleasantseat." It is high

the James river runs below it, and when I went out, an hour ago, nothing was heard but the roar of the falls. Ttte air is tran

and its temperature mild. It is morning, and a morning sweet and fresh, and delightful.- Everybody knows the morning in its metaphorical sense applied to so many occasions. The health, strength, and beauty of early years lead us to call that period "t ic morning of life." Of a lovely young womnn we suy she is "bright as the morning and no one doubts why Lucifer is called "son of the morning." ,.

But the morning itself, few people inhabitants of cities, know anything^about. Among all our good per pie, no one in a thousand sees the sun rise once in a yenr. They know nothing of the ihorninEf. Their idea of it is that it is that part of the day which comes along after a cup of coflV-e and a beefstake or a piepe of toast. W itil them morning is not a new issuing of light, a new burstinrr forth or the sun, anew waking up ol all that has life from a sort of temporary death, to behold again the works of God. the heuvens and the earth it is only apart of the domestic

I he weather was beautifully in harmony with the occasion. The day was worm and bright, such ns wo seldom have-In October and the sun which shone auspiciously in the morning, retired behind a cloud in tho middle ol tliu day as if in sympathy with the feelings uf the as Rumbled mn'titudo.^

The tomb iii which thu remains an deposited is erected, within or near the limits of tho parish burying ground in Marshlield, oil the holders of Mr. Web sier's estate and surrounded by an iron railing, iu front ol winch are marble monuments indicating tho names of his children deposited there. This burying ground id on tho summit of a beautiful elevation, nearly half a mile of Mr. Webster's residence and in full view of the broud orean.

It is iltfliruii to estimate the number of persons present, with accuracy,- but the whole number cannot have la l«n below five thousand, and it may have been Hourly twice 111nt number. Tli* aspect and demeanor of the vast assemblage was iu hiirmony with the mournful purpose ol their visit. It was to take a last look upon all that remained of their recoin friend, and puy the lust tribute of respect and affection.

The codiu containing the body of Mr. Webster lay open in the air in front of the house, Hiid the visitors had an opportunity of passing in order before it, and gnzing for the last time upon the familiar face and form of ihe deceased states man the features were preserved dis tinctly in their integrity, and the body was clothed in his fuvoriie characteristic dress.

Shortly after one o'clock ilie funeral

services were begun by the officiating

clergyman. Rev. Kbenezer Alden, of South Murshfitild, in tho hall of the house.

Theso were followed by an address from the clergy mini, and the services were concluded with prayer.

The funeral procession wr.S then formed. Several ot tlx- older neighbors of .Mr. Webster, at Mnrshfield acted as pull bearers. Then followed the gen llemen of the lamily and thu domestics ol the deceased, the Selectmen of Marshfield, the Members of the State Government, and then the Boston city Government and its guests. Then came the long tram of visitors generally. In this order the procession marched about a mile, by an indirect route to the tomb.— Hence, after a suitable* prayer from the clergyman, the remains were interred.

A HUGE MAN OF WAR.—The English are busily employed in introducing screw propellers into their men-of-war and, so far 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, cut asunder amidships and lengthened twenty-three feet, to furnish a suitable place for the accomodation of screw propelling machinery. She has just been launched, and her name is changed to that of the Duke

of Wellington. She measures nearly 4,000 tons, and mounts 140 guns. Wityh her steam facilities she is probably the most formidable as well as the largest man of war afloat. ~~~~~~~

From the Delaware Republican.

Free Delaware Nejjro in a state ol Slavery The suit of a free Delaware negro will mice place in the State of North Carolina, in the month of November ni'.vi, under the following circumstances: William TiSlison was sold by order of the Court of Kent coutitv. for some.crimM

misdemeanor, in 1840. for two

,truhs and one day. lie was bought by Jacob R. Griffin. Mr. Griffin sold htm to somebody, however, nothing wa«

heard of him until It' was found thai he was in the possession of Mr T. A. Vestal, of Wavnesburg, North Carolina, who purchased him about eighteen months since, for seventeen hundred dollars. Tillison ran away from Mr. Vestal, and was caught again. Upon Mr. Vestal's asking him why ho ran away, he insisted that he was free, whir led that gentleman to write to Dover for the facts and found, sure enough, that it was as Ttllisoti, whose i.ame had been changed u» Tom flyer, h'*d stated, that ho was legally entitled to freedom. This negro for the last twelve years, has been unjustly held in slavery. We aro informed by those-who have the best opportunity of knowing, ihat at least a negro a week is sold out of the State of Delaware. As the law forbids ihe sale of slaves out of tho State, tin ess by an order from ihe Court for sueh sales do not reach a tithe of that number, the excess are either kidnapped or sold ille {rrillv. This information we do not gft from an abolitionist, but from a gentleman who is a slaveholder himself, and whose frequent visits to slave-prisons in Baltimore and other places have given him the very best opportunities of information. From all we have heard, we have not the least doubt that a great many slaves who have the credit ot running away from this State have been conveyed on the back-track of the underground railroad—going to the South insieud of the North.

Tbe portrait is obtained in a fraction of a second, and for quickness can only be compared to electricity. It is but justice to the inventor of the collodion (Mr. Bertsch) to state that ihe rapidity is owing to its extreme sensitiveness. which rend ud necessary to use the above instrument. By the ordinary method ihe collodion would be spoiled by ihe light, however skillful the ma-nipulauoti,-before the portrait could be taken.
